Huntington (HNN) – Pullman Square has gained another restaurant. Max & Erma's, which opened its first location in Columbus' German Building in 1972, will be located on the second level to the left of the Marquee Cinema entrance. They plan to open in August. According to one of the developers, the new restaurant will have a section of outdoor dining, too.
 
Offering an All American styled menu of gourmet burger, homemade onion rings, hot apple pie, and a build-your-own sundae bar, the first restaurant incorporated antique artifacts and conveyed a chummy, fun and enjoyable neighborhood gathering place.
 
The company web site indicates that Max & Erma's "core Purpose" is to "help our guests enjoy their total dining experiences so they can't wait to come back."
 
The restaurants include kid's corners and gift shops. According to the web site, guest favorites range from Tuscan Chicken to the classic Santa Fe Salad. Among the menu selections are Laredo Steak $13.99, 6 oz. Petit filet mignon $15.99, Max's Best BBQ Ribs (2 lb. Slab, $18.99, half slab $12.99), and Gourmet Fried Shrimp $13.99.
 
Their sandwich selections begin with a "Garbage Burger" which includes American, Cheddar, Swiss, and Mozzarella cheese, bacon, mushrooms, guacamole and marinara. The 6 oz "Emma" size runs $7.99 and a 10 oz. is $8.99. They have Cajun, Mushroom and Swiss, Horseradish, Jim Beam Bourbon (yes, it has liquor with roasted onions, cheddar and bacon), bacon & cheddar and Bacon & Bleu.
 
Other featured sandwiches are the Tomato Mozzarella Chicken ($8.99), Buffalo Chicken ($8.29), Grilled Salmon Burger ($7.99), and Meatloaf Melt ($7.99).
 
If you like Pepsi and ice cream, Erma's has a Volcano Blaster, which consists of a big glass of Pepsi with a scoop of ice cream power charged up with a combination of 7-up, pineapple and cherry juices.
 
The restaurants have a full selection of local, draft, imported and specialty beers as well as wines and cocktails.
 
Max and Erma's recently opened restaurants at the Cincinnati airport and at the Pembroke Mall in Virginia Beach. They have approximately 100 locations nationwide.
