"The Southern fried chicken dinner is why you go to Max’s. The dive bar offers chicken on the pricier side (three-piece for $24), but it’s worth it. The balance between the crunch of the jalapeño-buttermilk fried drumstick skin and the spicy sweetness of the chipotle honey sauce makes for a priceless bite. Open until midnight on the weekends, this Washington Avenue spot is a perfect late-night comfort food choice, or grab your friends for brunch, and Max’s will throw fried chicken tenders on top of a belgian waffle. photo credit: Quit Nguyen photo credit: Quit Nguyen photo credit: Quit Nguyen video credit: Quit Nguyen" - Julie Takahashi
