The House That Fried Chicken Built

Max’s Restaurant’s beginnings started in 1945, after WW II. Maximo Gimenez, A Stanford-educated teacher, befriended the American occupation troops stationed in Quezon City. Because of this friendship, the soldiers regularly visited Maximo’s nearby home for a drink or two. Later on, the troops insisted that they pay for their drinks. This prompted Maximo to open a café where the troops could enjoy food and drinks.

The café initially served chicken, steak and drinks. Maximo’s niece _ Ruby, who managed the kitchen, created a special recipe for chicken that became an instant favorite for the GIs. Soon, the Filipino public heard about the delicious recipe for chicken _ tender, juicy and crispy _ and they came too! Max’s Restaurant was born.

Over the years, Max’s Restaurant’s popularity grew and became known as “the house that fried chicken built.”

It has expanded in metro Manila, Southern and Northern Luzon. Cebu and California, USA.

Looking toward the next millennium, Max’s Restaurant has established itself as a household name, an institution, and a proud Filipino tradition. The second and third generations of the family continue to zealously uphold the standards and traditions set by Maximo and Ruby for all Max’s Restaurants.

Today, Max’s Restaurant has opened a window of business opportunity for dynamic individuals interested and willing to invest in the long-standing tradition of quality which only a Max’s Restaurant can offer. It opened its doors to franchising for the first time in the second quarter of 1998. This is the opportunity to join the thriving food service industry in the Philippines.

Max’s of Manila Restaurant currently has five locations in California with one soon to open in Hawaii, and 100 locations in the Philippines. (source: ofwguardian)
