    It had been forever since either of us had dined here, so we broke the dry spell. They have a fairly limited menu focused on hamburgers, a few salads a few chicken dishes and maybe a pasta or two, but their signature dish is hamburgers. Rather than fight the current we ordered hamburgers. The lady got their Ragin' Cajun burger, and I their garbage burger. The Cajun burger got accolades from the lady, and despite having ordered their "max" sized burger her plate was burger-free by the time the check came. She got fries, steak house style ones that looked to be house cut. My garbage burger had things that seemed totally incongruous slapped on top, including guacamole, marinara three cheeses, bacon, onions, pickles and several other things that escape recollection, I'm sure. Despite the odd assortment of condiments, they actually came together nicely, were I to return I would order it again. I got house made onion rings and we both got iced tea. Then the bill came. This is the part the I have difficulty reconciling, and is likely the reason it has been years since we last dined here. Two burgers, fried sides, of which the frieds were included with the burger, and the rings were maybe a $1.50 uptick, two non-alcoholic drinks, and the bill is $35 PLUS tip. What? That makes it over $20 each for a freakin' hamburger luncheon. Am I the only guy around that thinks that's a bit extreme? No, it wasn't Kobe beef, it wasn't billed as being prime, so what's with the twenty dollar burgers? The food was great, but I'm going to have to REALLY be Jonesing for a burger before I pony up that much anytime soon!

    The chicken tortilla soup is the best. It's simply amazing and do yourself a favor and order it when you're here. I ordered Tony's bodacious bacon cheeseburger, which was pretty delicious. It had a pretty good flavor. The fries were a bit salty so if you don't enjoy salty foods you may wanna order something else. Overall the food was pretty good, service was good too, especially on a Saturday night. I will definitely be coming back again.

    Mediocre is the name of the game at Max & Erma's. Fewer food options than TGI Fridays and not as good quality. I don't even like TGI Fridays, so this place is scraping the barrel. Also, the decor is confusing. Is it a hunting lodge or gas station? I gave 2 stars only because it was clean and the food wasn't greasy. Everything else here is 3rd rate at best.

    OK...think of Chili's with a little less fan fare. The basics are pretty good but as the other Yelpers stated, stay away from the fancy schmancy items they tout every once in a while. Burgers, fries and a beer is a no-lose proposition here. The staff is pretty friendly and the prices are reasonable.

    My girlfriend and I visited this place yesterday evening and were quite impressed. We decided on this place after debating on what to do for the evening. So after some time of research of the webs and looking over the menu a bit here we were, Max & Erma's. Being that it was late Sunday evening the place was a ghost town. But hey, it's Sunday night and I don't exactly expect a full house. So we went inside and were meeted and greeted and this is where the review really starts. Atmosphere: It's what you expect from a chain burger joint. Just "antique" stuff and other odds and ends just kind of laying around. Me personally I'm not a fan. It just seems messy and cluttered. It gives you this feeling of the combination of a hole-in-the wall antique store that also serves food. That's not character, it's dirty. But you see that with a lot of different chains. Service: Over all this was fine. She was polite and easy to talk to. Now what I did have a little problem with is the simple fact that I never saw the manager, and my question is "why not"? Why couldn't the person running that evening just stopped by at some point and talked. It's their place that their running and we are their guest so make us feel comfortable and glad we came. But I have no complaints with the service. Food: Now here it is, the best for last. This here my friends is really the whole reason why anyone goes out. The food. And for me it was great. We both ordered the burger special that they had which was a side salad, cheeseburger and fries, and a cookie. We both did the up charge to the turkey burger instead and were very happy with the result. The salad was tasty and fresh. The burger was cooked just right and not dry and built very well, except both of our buns were just crushed and that was very disappointing. The fries were fresh and evenly seasoned, and the cookie was warm and soft. So after everything was said and done we were both pleasantly satisfied and full. Honestly at the end of everything I was very surprised. Coming to a chain place like this you don't really have very high expectations. But it's nice to see a place actually meet and exceed those expectations.

    My first and only experience with Max & Erma's was a couple of weeks ago. My benchmark dish at a place like this is their ribs. The ribs at Max & Erma's in Fairlawn were outstanding. Tender, very tasty, easily eaten off the bone but not falling in a sloppy mess. The BBQ sauce used to coat them was excellent. The standard compliment to this in the menu was onion rings, which are usually hit or miss. The 'rings in this place were awesome. Very lightly breaded, perfect texture, medium/thin cut size. These were onion rings done right. The dish was pricey compared to the rest of the fare - it clocked in at $20. But next time I go there, I'm definitely getting it again. And I'm looking for opportunities to hit Max and Erma's specifically because of this dish.

    I have been going to Max and Erma's most of my life. I figured the place out on my first trip. You get a basket of fries and a big beer and you order the giant garbage burger. It is an amazing experience. Skip all the tortilla strip soup, tex-mex enchilada beef tip guacamole eat-the-bowl salad stuff (okay I made that one up) and go with what made the place. Their fries are excellent and are made to go with beer. Get the basket of fries. The garbage burger is amazing and cannot be replicated at home or anywhere else. If you order this giant burger, fries and a beer you'll be happy. If you order anything else I don't know. The g-burger is so good I have never considered anything else. Don't listen to those garbage-shouldn't-be-in-the-name-of-food types. It's great. Memorable great.

    Hm. Well, the food here was 3-Star. Decent, but not fantastic. I didn't have the tomato soup that 2 of my colleagues did, but they both said that it tasted more like tomato pasta sauce than soup. My pulled pork was quite good, and so were the onion rings. The drinks, however.... Wow. (non-alcoholic, btw) took FOREVER. The food almost beat them out, and the food wasn't exactly timely, either. Very off-putting, and not a good thing when you are parched. Two of my colleagues said this was atypical from a service and food standpoint, but as my only exposure to this place, it earned a solid 2-Star rating from me. TGIFridays would have been better, and that statement probably stands on its own merits.

    This place is okay, but nothing too special. We decided on Max & Erma's because there would be 6 adults and 4 kids and knew we'd fit and they wouldn't be too mad if the 2 and 4 year olds made too much of a mess. The server was good, especially with so many of us and when taking the little kids' orders. The food was okay, nothing too special. It's fast, reasonably priced, and good service.

    We ate here last week, and were very impressed. I had a black bean veggie burger and their spicy tortilla soup with some peach tea, and it was excellent. My boyfriend ordered the herb halibut w/rice though, and it was also heavenly. Our waiter was friendly, and the atmosphere was casual with unique decor (think soapbox derby cars & old carnival signs to name a few examples). Another really cool thing about this place is that you can order cookies for after your meal, and they'll bake them fresh for you while you're finishing up your food. You can take them to go or eat them there, and even order a glass of milk to with 'em. Very nice touch, and very very good food. We don't live in OH, but I would definitely be a repeat customer if we did.

    Avoid the tortilla soup - it is quite literally drinking a bowl of melted cheddar cheese. Perhaps thinned out the slightest bit with whole milk. Topped with a hearty fistfull of deep fried tortilla strips and barely a smidge of chicken to be found drowning under the bright orange gloop. Likely the most caloric soup I've ever consumed in my life. Turkey club was standard at best. It wasn't bad, but it could have just as easily been made in 5 minutes at home. Decor was tacky and the sundae bar weirded me out. I doubt I'll be back. Unless it was, say, accompanied by a seven year old kid. I'm not in the habit of checking out children's menus, but the place definitely seemed family appropriate.

    We get consistently good service at this restaurant. The food is usually pretty good, but avoid the meatball burger. Way too much oregano and very salty. Also, I'm not a fan of the onion rings even though they're very popular. If you can, go on Wednesday and get two free, fresh cookies! Definitely my favorite thing about this place. I will say the Max and Erma's in Canton is better both service and food wise, but this location is perfectly serviceable.

    Place was 1/3 full. We waited a while before guy asked us our drink order. We waved him down to take our meal order then we waited another 40 minutes for our food. We ordered the small beers an he brought large. I ordered the Small Garbage burger without onions an got a large with onions. Took 2 hours total. The place was not busy. Lot of other people were waiting for their food besides us. Do not plan on going back

    Only so-so burgers and fries. Service was friendly and prompt. Large menu and many choices. Nice place but food -- eh.

    The service is OK. The food is OK. That's about it! My husband and I ordered the special where you get a soup or salad, burger with fries, and a cookie for $8.99. I got the caesar salad which was good. I could tell the dressing was homemade so bonus points for that. Hubby got the tortilla soup which is normally very good but this time it was just tomato juice with cheese in it. Not the tortilla soup we remembered. We ordered our burgers cooked medium and they were more like rare. We still ate them and didn't get sick or anything but they could have been cooked a tad longer. Hubby specifically ordered his burger with cheese and lettuce only, no other veggies. Well, it was a waste of time for the waitress to have asked because all the veggies were on his burger anyway and he was not happy because the tomato (which he hates) made the bun soggy. The fries were OK. I don't care for seasoned fries. The cookie was the best part! Nothing better than a warm, gooey, chocolate chip cookie. YUM! Our waitress was friendly but we could tell that she had too many tables going at the same time and was struggling. She did a good job at making sure out drinks were refilled and our food came out how we expected.

    Ordered Nachos. They had good taste, but the chips were broken crumbs and too salty. Seems they dumped the end of the bag in. Italian soda was tasty. Service adequate. Wouldn't go out of my way to eat there, but it's not awful.
