The Scene – Max and Erma's fern bar-style chain launched back in the '70s, but its German Village location is the original hangout, once owned and run by the real Max and Erma. This street corner saloon retains a certain amount of its funky charm, despite corporate attempts to "decorate." Quite a few regulars from the old days still haunt the place, and lively crowds gather on the weekends. – – The Food – The menu has gone corporate, but the big, sloppy burgers are still scrumptious. All come with an extensive choice of toppings, and the meat is moist and rich. The…

Best Burgers

Max & Erma's Garbage Burger. When I first heard about it, the gucamole didn't sound very appealing, but it adds a lot. Need lots of napkins and if you order the big one, you need time and pants with an elastic band! It is a great burger though!

Good "chain" food

by Dawnrenee1313 at Citysearch

Max & Erma's is one of my favorite "chain" resteraunts. I love the one in German Village but have ate at several other columbus locations. Food is always good and service is fairly consistent...These people serve the BEST tortillia soup. I get it everytime! The salads are great, and the buffalo chicken sandwich is wonderful. Give this place a try, definitely!

  • Pros: quick, good food, good value
  • Cons: Wait times, sometimes loud

Great Burger from a chain

by welovejake at Citysearch

I was quite surprised that I would get a tasty burger from a chain restaurant. Ordered the reg. with pepperjack cheese and a side of homemade potato salad. I ended up being very happy in the taste and would go back.

  • Pros: Fresh tasting meat, served hot
  • Cons: price, normal chain feel
