The food is great but don't come too hungry! Very small portion sizes. The menu is almost too extensive with over 100 items but you can basically just "build your own" sandwiches/wraps/burgers. Fun place when they have concerts too! read more

My favorite sandwich place in the entire world. My dad's favorite sandwich shop- and he's a pretty hard person to please. So good job Max and Emily's read more

Excellent food, casual atmosphere, and friendly workers. It's great to be able to support local businesses. Their menu is extensive.

Excellent sandwiches. Great variety. Ask for sun chips because the the regular chips that come with the sandwich are quite bad. The bake goods are good. I enjoy the chocolate chip cookies however all the bake goods are tasty. read more

Yummy! I love this place, but I wish they had more vegetarian options/were more creative with vegetarian sandwiches. At least I can build my own. Real, sliced avocados would be a lot better than the pasty stuff. read more

Always a treat to visit Max & Emily's. I try to eat here at least once a week. My favorite sandwich is the Firey Turkinator, to order and to eat. It does take a little time to get your food, but it's absolutely worth it. Excellent service, friendly staff, and a HUGE variety of sandwiches to choose from. read more

Stopped for lunch on our way South from Northern Michigan. Such a better call than Applebee's or another chain restaurant. Fresh food--- great sandwich and even better soup that was served HOT! We were throughly impressed. read more

The best! The Philly cheesesteak wrap is the bomb. Great atmosphere. Can't really go wrong here.

Great sandwiches! I suggest "The Inferno". My personal favorite from their huge selection.

Max & Emily's is a staple downtown, especially if you want to meet someone for lunch. A huge sandwich selection and cheesecake, if you want some. They also have bread bowls and other similar lunch items. The sandwiches are a little on the pricey side but if you want variety, this is the best place to go. read more

Very good local business to support. Had their new hot pastrami sandwich and a cookie. It was quite good, but not a 5-star place yet. Perfect for every day lunch. read more

Came in during a promotion. It was VERY busy but the food was very good. I absolutely must come back again. The sandwiches were great and the beverages available makes me happy to come and try something else. read more

My chicken salad croissant sandwich was so delicious. Others at the table ordered philly cheesesteak wraps, and a hamburger, all were excellent and fresh. We were here at lunch time on Sunday and they were packed. The tables are first come, first served. We will come back for sure. read more

Love this place! Sandwiches are generous servings and there are plenty of options. Although they are not homemade, soup is always good, especially with a hot bread bowl. read more

I love this place! I decided to come here to meet up with a girl for bumble BFF and the atmosphere was so homey and they food was amazing. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a good comfort meal. Definitely a place I love to come in for a nice break in between the weekdays. I'll be coming back whenever I meet up another friend for bumble BFF! read more

As a pescatarian/vegetarian it is very easy to eat here. I typically get the Fiesta Black bean Burrito. It's very filing and comes with chips of your choice and a pickle. The Tom Pesty is also very delicious but I normally keep coming back for that fiesta burrito. Awesome place for dining in and doing work if you prefer some noise in your background. read more

Favorite place in Mt Pleasant...Everything on the menu is GREAT..They do a lot for the community. Prices are a little high, but for great food it is worth it. There soups are fantastic and they always have great deserts. read more

The food is simply good and delicious. Owners are friendly and prices are even friendlier. WIll go back for sure

Love the chicken fielding if i'm not mistaken. The service is prompt. It gets busy if there are events or big games at central. Always recommend it, just you will smell like food so do not wear something fancy. Service is excellent, they forgot to put in my order once. After asking for it they apologized and gave me a free sandwich. read more

Love their sandwiches, a little pricey but worth every penny. I'd tell you the best sandwich but they are all so good!

Max and Emily's is a great establishment in downtown Mt. Pleasant! I love their chicken dumpling soup. If you've never been before, get ready to review an extensive menu of sandwiches. I often just end up getting the daily special because all the choices are so overwhelming. I don't think you can really go wrong though. They also host free summer concerts which I think is so cool. Support local! read more

The quality of the food, along with the originality and variety of their menu, cannot be beat. Whether I'm stopping in to snag a sandwich to go, meeting a friend for a coffee and muffin, or even gathering for a work meeting over lunch, this is the place to be. Casual, welcoming atmosphere with extensive menu offerings. Highly recommended. read more

Love this quite and quaint little coffee shop, truly american and truly a great place to get baked goods and coffee in the morning or a sandwhich at lunch time. Very casual and simple but NICE. read more

I liked it a lot. It was good environment friendly staff good food cool menu there is something for everyone good stuff. I will be back for sure I want to try something else off the menu. I liked our seat that was at the window looking out on downtown nice. read more

So many sandwiches to choose from, and if you still can't find anything that piques your interest, you can create your own from a list of available toppings. They have several breakfast bagel/ sandwich options as well. Soups in breadbowls are great, better than Panera in my opinion, and the cheesecakes are phenomenal! It gets pretty busy around lunch, and if you want a quieter option, take a seat in the back room. The patio is great during the summer as well, especially during Le Tour weekend. read more

This place is great! The food is delicious. You can order almost anything and it'll be great. Higher price points than desired (especially with so many cheap college students), but the money is worth it. The staff are super friendly too. read more

Hands down the best meal I have had while in Mount Pleasant for the weekend. The food was amazing, the service was even better. Called ahead with a group of 20 of us and didn't even ask for a reservation and they reserved the whole back room for us. People had highly recommended it to us and they were spot on. Great crew and great food. I highly highly recommend this restaurant! Shout out to Kat and her manager- they took great care of us! read more

Love the names of the sandwiches here, take your time & review all your choices! It can be a little expensive but it is worth it to have a good hardy homemade lunch. There is a little something for everyone, even the pickiest of eaters. The chicken dumpling soup is absolutely fantastic! Helpful Hint: Avoid the noon rush & if the street parking is at capacity, try parking behind the building & using the back entrance. read more

I absolutely adore Max & Emily's. You can't really go wrong with their menu. There's a sandwich for everyone. They have vegetarian and vegan options. I would say to just be wary of their prices. Expect to spend $10-$15 on a single meal. Basically the price of eating out at a restaurant rather than a deli/bakery. If they mess up your order, just tell them! They're happy to replace it for you. read more

SO SO good. I am obsessed with this place and although it's kinda pricy, it's totally worth it!!! Great service -- definitely recommend the Inferno and the chicken dumpling soup, as well as the burgers and the wraps!! I am going to miss it when I move in a few weeks! read more

I was excited to go here after reading yelp reviews. Unfortunately , very disappointed . The soup I had tasted like too much flour was added for thickening. Didn't eat it. My sandwich was average, ate 1/2. My son really disliked his and took 2 bites. He's 19 and not picky. When the manager came around asking how things were, we told here. So most places would offer another selection. Not her! She said" would you like to take the rest in a box?" I told another person that that to me was poor service. She was just a cashier. Didn't see the manager again. So future advice, offer a replacement not a box . It's not rocket science. The meal was 24.00, and then we went to a drive through and ate lunch. read more

Love to Build My Own Sandwich option. Wish the fresh fruit side options was not so expensive. More people need to demand the healthy alternative so the price will come down. The Fat Free Honey Mustard is good, does not taste like a load of artificial sweeteners to replace the fat. read more

The cheesecake was delicious as usual. The sandwiches were not super flavorful and the the restaurant it self was super hot. Very highly priced. read more

Used to go there quite a bit and now I go a lot less frequently because the quality that once was there just isn't there anymore. That and the prices are high for a sandwich, bag of chips, and a pickle spear. I went today and got the Hot Pastrami, which had more mustard on it then anything else----it was like a Mustard Sandwich. Weighing the cost versus the quality, it is a skip. read more

A complete townie spot for lunch - with sandwiches named after frequent customers. The sandwiches are great and with so many creative options, it is hard not to find something you will love. The staff is great - always happy, and the whole place has such a great energy. The owners are very involved in the downtown, the university and that is great to see. The prices are a bit high for the value, and there no doubt a better lunch in this price range downtown. I still find myself swinging in once a month or so for a tasty sandwich. read more

It's exactly what you want it to be. Just need to give out a different kind of chips.

Excellent lunch local lunch joint! Never had a bad sandwich and have tried many! Gets busy during the week during lunch but worth the wait. Great service! read more

I absolutely love their sandwiches! They have so many different types of sandwiches on their menu and you can build your own as well. The soups are also very tasty as well as their coffee drinks. It's a great place to go with friends because the environment in the cafe is very welcoming and gives you a "homey" feeling. I recommend going here. (My favorite is their turkey sandwiches with their chipotle mayonnaise!) read more

The have really good sandwiches and great selection but even if they don't have what your looking for they can make it. The atmosphere is good and staff is friendly. I would give them 5 stars but i think prices are just a tad to high. However I will be back. read more

I always come for the soups because they never fail to disappoint! The chicken and dumpling, loaded potato, or the cheddar and broccoli are all great! I usually order the California girl as a sandwich but they have other good options as well. read more
