😠 The Max restaurant near Kungsträdgården is, sorry to say, disgusting. It's incredibly poorly managed, chaotic, and dirty. We waited at least 20 minutes for the food to come out, which isn't particularly fast for a fast food place, and when it did it looked everything but presentable - the salad fill...

    The Max restaurant near Kungsträdgården is, sorry to say, disgusting. It's incredibly poorly managed, chaotic, and dirty. We waited at least 20 minutes for the food to come out, which isn't particularly fast for a fast food place, and when it did it looked everything but presentable - the salad filled a fourth of the bowl and looked as if it had been dropped onto the floor and been put back into the bowl, and the burger packaging were wet with the carton disintegrating and the burgers soggy (!!!) as if they too had been dropped onto a puddle of water or something! The staff were clueless as to why we thought the food looked gross as well, very immature and not people you want serving you food.

    swedish classic! ordering easy with the self-service machine, I was able to think about my choices in peace. the food came really quickly even though there were a lot of orders. I ate a veggie option (no chicken) that mimicked chicken, it wasn't amazing at all.

    Max in Hamngatan is located in a good location in the inner city of Stockholm. It can be reached by tram line 7 and many bus lines. The restaurant has self-service cash registers and the service has been prompt on both visits. The quality and taste of the food are excellent by the standards of fast food places, as is the case at Max's in general. The comfort level of the premises is average, and the restaurant has a free toilet. Max is a very good change to American fast food chains.

    Max in Stockholm is a delightful fast-food destination that truly stands out. From the moment you step in, the vibrant and clean ambiance sets the stage for a satisfying dining experience. The menu at Max offers a variety of options, from classic burgers to innovative vegetarian choices. The use of high-quality ingredients is evident in the flavorful burgers, and the diverse menu caters to different tastes and preferences. What sets Max apart is its commitment to sustainability. The focus on eco-friendly practices, such as using organic and locally sourced ingredients, adds a positive touch to the dining experience. The dedication to reducing environmental impact is commendable and aligns well with the modern diner's values. Service is prompt and efficient, making it an excellent option for a quick bite or a casual meal. The staff is friendly and accommodating, contributing to the overall welcoming atmosphere. One highlight is the customization options, allowing customers to tailor their burgers to their liking. The attention to detail in preparation and presentation showcases Max's commitment to delivering a top-notch fast-food experience. While the prices may be slightly higher than other fast-food establishments, the quality of the food and the eco-conscious approach make it a worthwhile choice. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Max in Stockholm offers a tasty and responsible fast-food experience that's worth savoring.

    An elevated version of McDonald’s: better meat in the burger, tastier (sweet potato) fries, cleaner restaurant, more efficient service. Top notch fast-food spot!

    As usual, nice fast food. With contactless order possibility. Fast service and delicious food. Place is not so clean. Toilet available but not cleaned as well.

    Not sure what I expected going in, but it's bad. I've seen public toilets cleaner than this place. One redeeming feature is that it's open until late.

    It is located almost in the City center of Stockholm. It is a McDonald like fast food restaurant. It remains crowded all the time. I had vegan burger. It was good. Price is a bit higher for a combo meal. The staffs cannot speak in English though they understand.

    Right in the middle of the city, super busy place, yet super fast and friendly service. Of course finding a seat might be tricky, but there's plenty. I ordered a medium meal cheese burger with large fries, worth the money and delicious.

    Good, clean and efficient for what fast food franchises are. Tactile panels to order, like in McDonald's, also in the outside. Seats outside and very centric and well located

  • 4/5 Mikko 1 year ago on Google • 81 reviews
    Very delicious burgers for fastfood! As long as you're willing to move past from the looks. But you know what they say, never judge a book by it's cover~ Also; the fries were delicious! The best you can find and a lot better than McDonald's!

  • 4/5 Priit R. 6 months ago on Google • 39 reviews
    I like the fact that you can choose gluten free bun or a salad wrap instead of normal bun for every hamburger. The taste of the patties was very nice, the creole loaded fries were tasty. For a fast food joint, good bang for the buck.

  • 1/5 Nilima 7 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    The crispy nuggets were burnt and super old. We called and the staff tried ti gaslight us and said it was a “new recipe”

  • 4/5 Iga S. 1 year ago on Google
    A better alternative to McDonald's and other fast food burgers. There's a quite big menu with many options to choose from, including different options for beef, chicken or veggie meals.

  • 1/5 Juan Andres Barreto L. 8 months ago on Google
    My bad review is not about the taste of the food. That was fine (as any other fast food chain). It is because of the service. The burger I ordered (fish burger) was so hot that it burned my palate, I asked if I could talk to the supervisor and his answer was that the food was perfect, I have never burnt my palate before with any other food, so I don't think that was perfect, unfortunately I'm touring in Stockholm and leaving tomorrow atherwise I'll seek for legal advice, not fair, you shouldn't serve food that hot without telling customer to wait at least few minutes before digging in

  • 5/5 Zsófia H. 7 months ago on Google
    The avocado spicy burger is just so delicious! Also glutenfree, and contamination free. Everything is not a problem. So no problem with celiac disease. For me it was one of the best burgers from a fast food restaurant, that I have ever eaten. The glutenfree burger is also delicious. Just great. Great company, and so good that they care about people with allergies. Thank you!

    Nothing to do with FAST food! Takeaway-order took over 20 minutes to get finished. The reward for waiting was a mediocre burger and fat-soaked, overfried onion rings. To round it up, they didn't even put napkins into the box so that I can get rid of the fatty fingers. One of the worst fast-food-experiences ever!

    Download the MAX APP Select the closest MAX outlet. Order what you want on the app. Your order will be ready once you reach there. No unnecessary waiting and standing in line. Tip. If you are not very hungry, order the minimeal: Veggie burger, beanssallad instead of fries and drink, just for 45sek. Or only burger - try the Halloumi burger - on offer for 35sek only. If you feel very very hungry, take both of these and enjoy delicious lunch/dinner just for 80sek - not bad!

    Wer nicht lange für eine warme Mahlzeit suchen möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Wir haben einige Burger-Menüs durchprobiert und waren geschmacklich positiv überrascht. Sehr gutes Essen für den schnellen Hunger! 😋

  • 5/5 Ayesh A. 6 months ago on Google
    I stumbled onto this place during a day trip to the city on a long layover. Similar vibe to a Shake Shack. This place was packed at 3:20 am with people coming out of the clubs. Crisy fries and tasty burger. Nice atmosphere. The machine order is a bit slow though, my food came out even faster.

  • 5/5 Ryan 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing beef burgers. Went to 3 different outlets and all burgers were juice and delivered with great consistency. Best beef burgers ever from a fast food chain that puts many gourmet places to shame.

  • 3/5 Pascal F. 2 years ago on Google
    Let’s phase it: everyone loves Max burgers at 3am after a night out. Yet, on my latest desperate mission to pre-cure my tomorrow‘s hangover the other day, I was very disappointed to find the cheese on every of my 4 Hamburgers to be still cold and „non-melty“. So here we go: 1 star for existence of Max. 2nd star for the burgers. 3rd star for the delicious meat and being quick at 3am. 4th star gone because of non-perfect cheese. 5th star gone because half of the self-ordering machines were broken. Anyway: would probably come back!

  • 1/5 JohnDoe 2 years ago on Google
    Food is tragic, burger with beef have not even flavor of meat its stincks. Fries is the worst i ever have in my life. I dont recommend MAX fastfoods.

  • 5/5 Minu M. 7 months ago on Google
    A good place to have an easy cheap meal. Their spicy chicken burgers were extra crispy, spicy, juicy and satisfying. Their fries are thinner than McD but a lot crispier and are called Crispy fries. The dipping sauces were alright. I'd recommend it if you're looking for fast food after shopping in the area. 😁

    I got salmonella from the chicken burger I had last night. It was completely pink and should not have been served like that.

  • 5/5 Lynne A. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a gluten free bun cheese burger. It was very tasty, bun could've done with being toasted longer as it fell apart quickly (gf problem). However, it was very tasty with plenty of filling. The restaurant was very, very busy, so I let them off with the toasting. Plus, I was fine afterwards so no cross contamination too. Quick and easy self ordering system. All in all a good fast food place and I recommend it.

  • 4/5 teena g. 2 years ago on Google
    Tried vegan burger 🍔 and it was very tasty 😋 I can recommend this place if you're feeling hungry.

  • 3/5 Philipp V. 1 year ago on Google
    MAX is always great but only one toilet is ridiculous… I had to wait almost 30min because there was a huge queue. It is absolutely ridiculous to offer only one toilet for paying customers

  • 4/5 Ivo Pires V. 1 year ago on Google
    I really liked the place, but as a tourist myself, I found the place a bit hidden and very closed from the environment of Sergelstorg. Apart from that, nice people and a very minimalistic design of chairs and tables, which is appreciated to fit as most people as possible.

  • 4/5 Tiny M. 5 years ago on Google
    The food overall tastes great if you likr fast food. The place can get very crowded in the afternoon, and it can become hard to find a table.

  • 4/5 Yannis H. 1 year ago on Google
    Typical down town Stockholm Max. I don't understand why they have self order desks outside. Not the fastest or cleanest one, but alright.

  • 4/5 Md Wahidur R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a good swedish fastfood brand. They are really good at making delicious fast food. Their food are healthy, tasty and mostly green based. Max hamngatan has a good location, available sitting options, friendly stuff so I recommend them for you.

  • 3/5 esbjörn n. 1 year ago on Google
    Standard fast food service and food. But the location is to busy to be enjoyable. Take out is the way if you're going here.

  • 5/5 Sandro S. 1 year ago on Google
    Guys there are faster than usain bolt. The shop was full of people and the food was there in less than 5 min.

  • 5/5 Pavlina J. 1 year ago on Google
    Swedish kind of McDonald, but we guess a better than McD. Many outlests in the city, orders through LCD screens or in person, quick serving.

  • 1/5 Ali F. 1 year ago on Google
    ONE washroom for 100 people. You do the math. Disgusting environment. I know this is a fast food environment but still. NEVER again

  • 4/5 Monisha r. 1 year ago on Google
    There are more than 3 outlets of Max burger in Stockholm.This one is located at the heart of the city.This place is very crowded during my visit.The orders typically served within 5 to 10 minutes.More number of staffs were employed for ensuring hasle free ordering. The customer service was good.However the place is very much small.But it was lot crowded.Most of the people were standing and eating.Regular maintenance were done. We ordered chicken burger.The patty was good and the bread was soft.
