While a memorable appearance in the blockbuster film Creed raised the national profile of this popular North Philadelphia cheesesteak shop, Max’s has long been known for making some of the best (if not the best) cheesesteaks in Philadelphia.
Max’s also has a full-service bar, so you can couple your cheesesteaks with adult beverages of your choice.
