Living in W Rogers now for 6mo, it was FINALLY time to check out Max's Italian Beef...
Except I wasn't in a mood for a beef, I was in the mood for a burger.
Nice looking place, clean. TV on to Travel Chanel and Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmern. Place has a decent sized menu, maybe a bit too big? When a joint is trying to please EVERYONE it can sometimes start to fall short on other things.
OK, so their burgers are 1/4lb or 1/2lb and either "build your own" or go with one of the ULTIMATE Burgers.
I'm usually a Blue Cheese and Bacon burger guy... But I remembered the controversy about this place naming their fries Ghetto Fries... and I saw they has a Ghetto BURGER...
BBQ Sauce, Merket Cheddar Cheese, Onion, Italian Beef au Jus, Hot Giardinara
It was OK. Burger was pretty dry. Messy sandwich to eat as well as things started slopping out of quickly. Had to get a spoon so as to try to bring ingredients BACK to the burger.
Fries are SYSCO/ Industrial. Just edging to being over done.
Wish places would get back to CUTTING whole potatoes and dropping them into the fryer vs the frozen bag.
It's an OK place. May come back to try the Beef Sammich, but certainly NOT the 3' Challenger, that's ridiculous.
I love the ghetto fries here! Sometimes the fries come out a little too crispy, but the sauces and toppings bring everything together well! My other favorites include the chicken caesar salad and the italian beef (dipped with peppers)... mmmm! The restaurant is small and a little greasy, but the food is great!
