Max Lager's was one of the first restaurants to bring the fresh and natural wood-fired menu concept to Atlanta. The art of cooking with wood enhances the Max Lager's experience with bold flavors simply not found with alternative cooking methods. We feel that the investment made in the wood-fired grill is an investment that pays great dividends to our guests.All Max Lager's menu items are prepared daily from scratch. Wood-fired steaks, burgers, seafood, ribs, and pizza are Max Lager's signature items. An inspired selection of entrée salads and pastas add variety to the American menu.

The volunteer historian was excellent. He sat with us at our table and gave us background history on Vic Bergeron (not sure of the spelling) and the history of Trader Vic’s and Tiki. Then walked us around the entire restaurant and pointed out things. He carried an iPad and showed us historical photos and shots from movies that were filmed in the restaurant. It was so enjoyable. He’s a volunteer so no fee, we gave him a tip.

Brandon was an excellent server. He was training another server and his attention to both ensuring a quality customer experience as well as an effective employee training was apparent. The salmon was fantastic, and the spinach + artichoke dip was a great start. If you’re around during the holidays, ask about the off menu egg nog cocktail!
