Max's Chicago

"Max’s Takeout, Loop. Every calorie is worth it at Max’s. From veggie burgers to Chicago dogs, Max’s is easily the best takeout in the Loop and an easy favorite. Established in 1984, their location is the oldest in the Loop, and has been a hot dog stand since 1962. Be ready with your order because the lines won’t wait and whatever you do, don’t ask for ketchup on your dog."

"The Loop: Max’s Take Out, a popular downtown spot for cheap favorites like hot dogs, Italian beef, and gyros, permanently closed in February after 30 years in business, ownership writes on Facebook. “To our regulars, those who traveled to Chicago for vacation or business and shared a bite with us, to the students, our neighbors, City Hall staffers, nearby workers - thank you,” the post reads. “Thank you for picking up a brown greasy paper bag and coming together with us.”" - Naomi Waxman
