Our History
In 1945, after World War II, Maximo Gimenez, a
Stanford-educated teacher, befriend American
occupation troops stationed at Quezon City,
Philippines. A few would come to his house for a drink or two. Eventually they insisted
that they pay for their meals. It was then when Maximo decided to open a café that served
chicken, steak and drinks. To help him with the café, his wife Mercedes, and his
sister-in-law Felipa, joined him together with her niece Ruby, who managed the kitchen
with her husband Claro. It was Ruby who concocted a special recipe for chicken. A
recipe so delicious, tender juicy and crispy chicken that kept the G.I.s coming back for
more. Soon enough, it become a legend with the Filipino public too!
Encouraged by her mother to expand the menu and serve
more Filipino food, Ruby put up the Baclaran branch along
Roxas Boulevard in Parañaque. It was decided that the
restaurant would be named “Max’s” which was Maximo’s
nickname.
Over the years, Max’s Restaurant’s popularity grew and
became known as “The House That Fried Chicken Built.”
Today Max’s has expanded into a chain of restaurants with
branches throughout the Philippines and the USA. The second
and and third generations of “family” are still actively working
to continue the standards and tradition of Max’s.
We thank you for your patronage and continued loyalty to us for the past 60 years.
We look forward to serving you our authentic Pinoy-style Max’s Fried Chicken and
