Max & Ermas

Instead of a long drawn out review, let's keep it pithy.

While the food is normally mediocre, my last experience was worse.  The black bean burger with a wheat bun was dry-on-dry-on-dry.  The take-out order was screwed up, and it took twice as long as they said it would take.

I see no reason to continue to put money into this place.

I haven't lived in Pittsburgh for over 3 years but I still crave Max & Erma's Tortilla Soup so on my recent trip home I had to have it, and it was just as good, if not better, than I remembered.

Their tortilla soup is different than most - more on the creamy, cheesy side, and definitely has a kick to it. Unbelievable.

All I got was their soup so this review is based purely on it. But I remember their food always being decent, esp their homemade choc, chip cookies.
