The singing servers in this Opera Plaza eatery have made Max's a San Francisco legend. The food at Max's at Opera Cafe has inspired several smaller Max's (the Diner, Max's Eatz, Sweet Max's) to spring up all over the Bay Area. Besides opera, what can one expect at Max's? Chopped chicken liver and onions, hamburgers and fries, or pastrami on rye. Just about any calorie-packed deli-style...

Max's Opera Cafe Restaurant Review

This deli-diner offers huge sandwiches, traditional blue plate specials, low-fat dishes and lots of salads. Cakes, pies and crisps are served in big portions. Max's is a good place to go for a quick bite before the opera. Other locations.

Piled-high sandwiches, gigantic desserts and singing waiters glamorize this souped-up deli in Opera Plaza.

In Short
This New York-inspired restaurant features singing waiters, many of whom are training for the stage at the nearby San Francisco Opera House. The fledgling vocalists lend a...

Corned beef sandwich did NOT taste fresh. It was very dry and appears that it could have been sitting in a refrigerator for at least 1-2 days. . Meat was shaved instead of sliced. Portion was nice, however, I would have preferred a FRESH sandwich. I will order something else in the future.

Our waitress was superlative. I wish I could remember her name. She sang with the musicians, has a wonderful sense of humor, was competent and attentive and a real asset to the restaurant.The food was good but she made the dinner a wonderful experience.

Max's is dependable and friendly. We were a larger party and our only concern was that the food didn't come out at the same time for everyone.

Max's is a great place to have dinner before the opera. The food is good and plentiful (they've never heard of small portions), the price is fair, and the locations is ideal. Much better than the options at the opera house itself.

Tips about this business (4)

The Extras

For all the health-conscious diners and dieters, the menu also provides a list of choices that include low-fat and low-carb entrees, meals on-the-go and even desserts. Try healthy eats like the poached salmon remoulade or the dark chocolate decadence.

Know Before You Go

Dine alone with ease. Rule #16 of "Max's Laws" calls for a meal on the house if your host asks the dreaded question, "Just one?"

When to Go

This is a great place to go before the opera or the symphony. The singing waiters will definitely get you in the mood for the show.

Parking

Park in the garage under the Opera House. Street parking can be tough.
