My husband is from the Philippines where Max’s Chicken is local so we love stopping at Max’s Chicken in Bloomfield when we are passing through on our way to Rhode Island. The service is so great from the minute you enter. We have gotten the same great waiter (PJ) and he remembers us from visit to visit. He is wonderful and makes us feel like family. We love the krispy pata, chrispy fried chicken, garlic rice and the noodles. We order the combo special which gives us all of these and more for a special deal. There is plenty to take home. We love it. Wish there was a Max’s Chicken closer to us in the Atlantic City area. See you next time!! 🤗
June 09 · Cheryl Yap
Love it here, the atmosphere the greeting at the door is amazing. Family vibe for sure. Thank you so much to INAH for everything we are blessed with the hospitality and we truly will be back. Salamat!
June 03 · Tim Johnson (tj)
Max's is a chain of international Filipino-cuisine restaurants with multiple locations in the US, Canada, the Middle East and, of course, the Philippines. We are blessed that there is one nearby in Jersey! The authentic food and authentic service (i.e. extraordinarily friendly) make this place worth a visit.Food was brought out to my birthday party of ten promptly and served family-style: Deep plates of entrees are set before you and everybody serves themselves from it. We ordered the following and each is certainly recommendable:- Max's fried chicken, their signature dish served with fries- Sinigang na Baboy - pork and veggies in a tamarind broth- Tofu Sisig - a vegetarian riff on the Filipino sizzling pork dish- Lechon Kawali - deep fried pork belly- Pancit palabok - rice noodles in a shrimp and pork sauce- Kare-kare - Beef and veggies in a peanut sauce- Pancit Bihon - fried noodles with chicken, shrimp and pork- Turon - Bananas fried in a crispy wrapper, served with caramel sauce- Halo-halo - "A blend of refreshing tropical fruit preserves, beans, and milk in shaved ice. Topped with a delicious scoop of Ube (purple yam) ice cream, flan, and rice flakes."The servers are extremely friendly and polite - they seem like the type to bend over backwards to help you. We asked for a bottle of water before our food came out for one of our kids who was extremely thirsty. When it was brought to us, the server was sincerely concerned for her welfare.When it was notified that it was the birthday for one of us, they all came out, sang and the celebrant was given a complementary slice of flan with a candle.For dessert we ordered turon and the large-size halo-halo. This was was a crazy spectacle with all the usual ingredients but also studded with piroulines and paper parasols, all in a huge glass goblet (see my picture). They brought out cups so we could all share in it.The space isn't huge, but that doesn't matter. It's a nice place: the modern faux-brick paneling is pleasant, wooden tables and chairs are clean and sturdy - this is not a hole-in-the wall nor a greasy burger chain.A visit to Max's is a great option for your Filipino-food fix. It's got more of a variety than Jollibee (and probably healthier) and it's got a home-y flavor. The only gripe I have is the parking situation as it's located in a popular strip mall with a dearth of spots. It's always full with people people camping or jockeying for an opportunity. Otherwise, don't hesitate to drop by!Edit: we ordered food to take out at another date and I've added pics of those dishes.
October 28 · Rich de la Torre
We were looking for some local Filipino food and we're so glad we stopped by for lunch! We got a whole order of fried chicken with fries, chicken and pork BBQ and halo halo for dessert. The portions were great, the chicken was crispy and the BBQ sauce was fantastic. Highly recommend!
January 20 · Nicole Aquino
We had a great time at Max’s for my husband’s father’s day celebration. Food was all great and big servings. We had a lot of take out. Plus, the servers were really nice and respectful. They were all friendly and accommodating. We will be back for sure!
