Max's Restaurant

Max's Restaurant's beginnings started in 1945, after World War II. Maximo Gimenez, a Stanford - educated teacher, befriended the American troops stationed at Quezon City. Because of this friendship, the soldiers regularly visited Maximo's nearby home. This prompted him to open a cafe, where they could enjoy food and drinks. Maximo's niece, Ruby Trota, who managed the kitchen, created a special recipe for fried chicken that became an instant favorite. Soon, the Filipino public heard about it and Max's Restaurant was born. It became famous for its Sarap-to-the-Bones® Fried Chicken and other well-loved Pinoy dishes. Over the years, its popularity grew and became the go-to destination for Filipino family gatherings and milestone celebrations. It has locations all around the Philippines and overseas.
