7 Skillet Cookie Desserts in Boston - Eater Boston

"Max Brenner, an international chocolate-centric restaurant chain with a location in Back Bay, serves some non-dessert food, but the focus is very much on dessert — milkshakes, “choctails,” chocolate fondue, crepes, and lots more. Hidden among the huge number of options is the “baked cookie dream,” a milk chocolate chunk cookie in a skillet, topped with vanilla ice cream and a chocolate crunch shell. Sure, it’s not the most exciting option on the wide-ranging menu, but some days you don’t want to go all in on churros fondue or a waffle with 10 sweet toppings." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal

Upon entering Max Brenner, the aroma of chocolate is delightful and initiates the craving for sweets! Their specialty is chocolate and deserts so that is what I planned on experiencing. They did not disappoint. I personally am not into anything super fancy or anything, but i shared a very large pie shaped chocolate chip cookie that was everything a cookie should be. The presentation of everything ordered was amazing (again, i only ordered chocolate and deserts), and tasted very good! My favorite part was most certainly the drinks. Each drink ordered had a generous amount of alcohol, and could be treated as a dessert in itself. Aside from the food and drinks, the cleanness of the establishment could use a little more work. There is creative decorations within the building and the layout of the seating is pretty, but slightly crowded (even though it was nearly empty when I visited). The service was ok, a little need of improvement regarding customer service. Even sitting at the bar the customer service could have used a little more work. My party did feel slightly rushed (only in the establishment just under 30 minutes), and despite each menu item feeling somewhat overpriced, it was very nice experience overall. I did get a confused vibe of which crowd the owner is trying to attract, it feels very family friendly however the music genre and volume felt like they are advertising for the young party-go-errs. Great experience, and the location of the establishment is in a very touristy area!

I really wanted to love this place and I do think it's good but it just can't get 5 stars....why? Well, It was down to the experience and that was down to the staff. We brought our 10 year old here for her birthday with her 12 year old sister. I had built up the restaurant and was so excited. We came in and the front of staff was great. Very warm and friendly. We were placed at a table on the outside of the inner circle and waited for our server- timeliness was not the issue. It was when she walked up, we were all excited about this unique restaurant, you could tell she just wanted to get through the day. So our excitement was slowly diminished as lunch went on with our drip of a waitress. The food was good but not incredible. It felt like you could get it anywhere - like The Friendly Toast. It didn't exceed expectations and I could have pushed this to a 5 had it been really good. But the food was just good not great and the staff was ok not good- so here's where we are. The cups for the hot Chocolate were great though and we bought 2 of those in the shop. Also, just a note, it was a birthday lunch and nothing was done to make my daughter feel special. I booked it and told the hostess. A birthday hot chocolate or a cupcake with a candle could have been nice, but maybe this is done on purpose to get you to do the dessert. We probably won't trek into town again to go here for lunch. And we probably wouldn't come back if I was in the area.

Great service but the bar was slow so getting a drink took a while other than that this was a great place to eat and go into a chocolate coma. Next time we'd may just go for the deserts they are that filling and delicious. The food looked just like their pictures. They take pride in what they do here. The manager came by our table 2 times during our meal to check on us. This is a must try.

It smelled great from the moment I walked in. It smelled like fresh chocolate being churned. The dessert options were massive. The hot chocolate and the waffle dessert was fantastic. Great place to stop by for a sweet treat after dinner! (They do serve food here as well)

Insane place! Sure, it’s very chocolate focused not also great food, admittedly comfort food primarily. The quesadilla was amazing, not a heavy soggy affair, light and flakey like a thin crust pizza crust. The Mac & Cheese was excellent. Desserts were crazy, try a Hug Mug or jar dessert. Great service, fast, friendly. Lots of good choices in the area and this place won’t disappoint. Go and have some fun.

not crowded for a Saturday morning, plenty of seating and nearby clothing stores if you need to wait. Shashuka was subtle, the breakfast burger deserves a special mention. The deserts lived up to the hype, notably the waffles. Overall great experience.

Cozy breakfast joint - not just chocolate affairs, either. You can get traditional fare and fare just as well! Nice people, too. It's worth a try if you're really aiming for breakfast/brunch.

I first tasted this restaurant at Philadelphia two years ago, the experience was amazing I just felt in love with their food. Yesterday was the third time visiting this restaurant but in Boston, to celebrated my birthday, everything was so good, our entrees and the dessert. I really love their food. They kept the quality in food and services. Excellent!
