Residents of the Treasure Coast have something incredibly appetizing to look forward to, as a highly acclaimed Texas-based eatery prepares to make its Florida debut. Max & Louie’s New York Diner, a beloved New York deli-style restaurant, has officially announced it will open its doors in Port St. Lucie’s Riverland community in early 2027.
Key Takeaway: Expanding outside of Texas for the first time, Max & Louie’s New York Diner will bring its signature deli classics, massive eating challenges, and traditional soda fountain treats to Port St. Lucie’s Riverland Town Center in 2027.
Originally established in San Antonio in 2016 by founder Drew Glick, the diner was created to honor his father, Louie Glick, and his uncle, Max Braverman. The two Russian immigrant brothers were highly skilled butchers who placed the utmost value on community and family. Operating under the Fanatical Hospitality Group, the restaurant has built a devoted following for its massive portions and authentic flavors. Port St. Lucie will mark the brand’s third location overall and its very first venture outside the state of Texas.
The decision to expand to the Treasure Coast was heavily influenced by the strong local community and strategic real estate partnerships. According to founder Drew Glick, guests can anticipate the exact same level of exceptional hospitality that made their Texas locations famous. Glick noted that the Riverland development perfectly aligns with the diner’s brand, bolstered by a strong relationship with GL Homes.
When the diner opens, patrons can expect a comprehensive New York-style menu spanning breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. The location will also offer modern conveniences such as delivery, take-out, and curbside pickup, alongside traditional dine-in perks like a waitlist, happy hour specials, holiday meal catering, and a private room available for party reservations.
Daring food lovers will want to attempt the Robert Stack challenge. This colossal $40 platter includes a waffle, pancakes, french toast, eggs, bacon, sausage, chicken, and a single orange slice. Diners who can conquer the entire plate in under 25 minutes get their meal completely for free. Another signature staple is the famous BFS, an over-the-top culinary creation featuring a burger resting on top of a pile of french fries, all perfectly balanced on top of a thick milkshake.
While the finalized Florida menu may feature slight variations, the traditional San Antonio offerings provide a tantalizing preview of what Treasure Coast residents can expect:
- Bagel & Lox Sandwich: A freshly baked bagel loaded with cream cheese, smoked salmon lox, tomatoes, onions, and capers.
- Bleeker Street Breakfast Tacos: Two flour tortillas generously stuffed with the diner’s famous deli hash, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, sour cream, and homemade salsa.
- B.A.D. (Breakfast All Day) Burger: An Angus steak burger crowned with melted cheddar, a sunny-side-up egg, tomato, onion, and maple mustard on a kaiser roll.
- Delancey Street Chicken: Panko-crusted chicken breast served over a bed of mashed potatoes and topped with sweet and sour sauce.
- Frankly Reuben: A jumbo Hebrew National frankfurter piled high with Max & Louie’s signature pastrami, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing.
- Disco Fries: A comforting plate of french fries smothered in rich brown gravy and melted mozzarella cheese.
- Traditional Jewish Treats: Authentic classics including potato knishes made with caramelized onions, and the Noodle Kugel Kupcake, a baked noodle-raisin-custard casserole.
The highly anticipated diner will be located at the Riverland Town Center at 12321 S.W. Community Blvd, situated conveniently near Hair Benders Salon and the upcoming Ristorante Chef Luca Corleone. As GL Homes finalizes the specific storefront assignment, Treasure Coast food enthusiasts will be eagerly counting down to the early 2027 grand opening.
