Max's Restaurant Jacksonville

We passed by Jacksonville just to experience Max’s so my son can taste the nostalgic dishes from the homeland. It was such a perfect timing because the crowd started coming in just before we finished our dinner. We were seated promptly, & the staff were very friendly. It didn’t take long for our orders to arrive and everything was perfect! My son, more than I expected, was very impressed and ate well! I felt the love and was transported back home with this simple dinner. All the food was amazing and prepared well. We had leftovers we took to the hotel but before the night was over, we ate them all!

Finally got to visit!!! Opening month was very busy of course. Food was by far the closest to my Cebuano taste. Love all the food that we ordered that day. The serving portion per price is family size. My son and I over ordered during our visit, not knowing the serving sizes. We ordered quite a lot (1 serving good for 2 people). Chicharon Bulaklak, Lumpia, Lechon Kawali, Beef Bulalo(good for 3 people), Beef Kare-Kare, Garlic Rice (large good for 3 to 4 people). Though the Fresh lumpia was a little bit different from what I like back home in Cebu, had a much softer filling. I guess it is hard to find a fresher "ubod" filling in the states. Of course, I don't know how it taste everywhere else in the Philippines. To tell you, we had a lot of food left to bring home and enjoyed it the next day

Wow! This place is amazing. For never having Philipino food, beyond lumpia, me and my wife fell in love. The service is amazing and the food is even better. If there is such a thing. The pork skewers with the malt vinegar takes it to a new level and the Kare-kate(peanut beef stew) with oxtail in it is so delicious with the salty shrimp paste, over rice. We're both super happy we came here and got the mango sticky rice for dessert. Next time we'll request that they hold the coconut shavings because the coconut sauce is enough.

We are excited to try this restaurant. It's just open this year. Obviously we waited couple's of months to fad go down. The atmosphere was a bit different from the max restaurant set up. May be because of the long narrow shape. The service was good. They handle the sisig situation well. Thumbs 👍 up. The food was delicious. Price was about 35-50 up per person depending on the order. Located at college park. We had a wonderful lunch. ...

My Filipino wife and niece really enjoyed the food. Of course they had to almost order everything on the menu. We traveled from East Tennessee, specifically to try this the restaurant. And it was worth every mile. I drove to see the smiles on their faces
