    Def go with the ribs. They're a little dry and overdone to my standards but surprisingly good quality and flavor for Atlanta and a brewery with good beers. Nice smokey flavor without too much sauce

    Fish and chips we're good, lightly breaded, not too heavy. Have to check out the upstairs bar. Nice selection of sours on tap. The Flanders was deliciously sour.

    The beer and southern fried chicken 🍗. I had the Diva Session ale paired with the southern fried chicken, mashed potatoes & collard greens. It was incredible. A cool little place with great staff.

    Small, but really good, beer list. 6 beers on tap, all brewed on site. Tonight's list included an IPA, rye pale ale, dunkel, doppelbock, red, and black IPA. Worth coming for.

    Southern fried chicken is great!!! Has a sweet first bite and a spicy after bite. Corn mashed potatoes and collards made for an excellent pair.

    Good beer! Good food. They will accommodate large parties as well- we had 30 from a conference at the Marquis, they found us space on a few days' notice.

    Brisket Burger yummy and unique. Fried cheesecake desert is a must. And of course the Max Red beer as well as The Gremlin Porter beer were just perfect.

    Brew Master John Roberts loves beer, and loves for you to try his beer. We say you should head over and give the Hopsplosion a whirl. And then maybe the Max Red.

    The burger with bacon was very Yummie! I'm not a beer drinker, smells like malt liquor. But for beer drinkers! Great place!! Good food too!

    I'm wary of anywhere that tries to upsell their menu. The IPA is good but generic. This is one of those places that feels like they care more about selling expensive steaks than the craft of beer.

    If you are in Atlanta, GO TO MAX LAGER'S! The fried chicken was so damn good I wanted to cry. I could cut the filet with a fork. The flavors are full and robust! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Packed for dinner but bar seats worked out well. Try the Trout - wicked cream sauce and heat from jambalaya rock! Paired with house Minion ESB.

    The beers change but if you can catch the Gimme Chocolate Bock, it's great.

    Shrimp on a pizza sounds strange but the Mediterranean pizza tasted great. Pairs well w IMOS stout.

    The Dark Side Indian black ale (house brew) is creamy and delicious. And the fried cheesecake is OUT OF THIS WORLD.

    Would like the head chef to try an idea I have. Incorporate southern Georgia chow chow relish into a dish, just try it chef.

    The transition (Belgian style pale ale) is fantastic! More Belgian than Pale Ale which for my palate is a good thing.

    Diverse bottle selection, but try the house brewed lagers. Especially the Helles & Doppelbock.

    The pits. I've lived Downtown right in neighborhood longer than they've been open and have given ML so many chances and it always sucks. Food, service terrible. Beer is acceptable.

    Food is good and tasty, get extra breadcrumbs on the mac & cheese. Be prepared for a long lunch hour as nothing seems to be quick there.
