About this business

The singing servers in this Opera Plaza eatery have made Max's a San Francisco legend. The food at Max's at Opera Cafe has inspired several smaller Max's (the Diner, Max's Eatz, Sweet Max's) to spring up all over the Bay Area. Besides opera, what can one expect at Max's? Chopped chicken liver and onions, hamburgers and fries, or pastrami on rye. Just about any calorie-packed deli-style temptation imaginable is on the menu. If you don't feel like a hamburger, order a dessert. They are all huge (including macaroons that seem t... read more

We’ve love this deli for decades and now with Covid quarantines we went by and and to our joy they were doing take-out. Loved every bite

To celebrate Hanukkah 🕎 we decided to order take away for lunch from Max’s holiday menu. We got brisket sandwiches with a side of latkes. The sandwich came with au jus for dipping and generous sides of sour cream and apple sauce for the latkes. Perfection! We also ordered fresh-baked rugula for dessert — it was still warm from the oven!

I heard live music and noticed that Max’s was open during the pandemic. I took a look at the menu and decided I would sit down and have a proper Thanksgiving meal. I asked the wait staff if they had room for just one person. The server said of course and took me to my table. I did apologize for the way I was dressed. I did not know I was going to a real dinner. He assu... read more
