Max Shabani and his wife, Buki, have opened Max’s Restaurant at the former Amicos location at W7389 River Bend Road south of Shawano.
The couple has 40 years of experience in the restaurant business, most recently in Illinois.
Max’s menu includes breakfast, Angus burgers, melts, chicken sandwiches, appetizers, hot sandwiches, wraps, club sandwiches, salads, diet plates, stir fry, homestyle meals with old-fashioned recipes, seafood, Italian specials, a senior menu, and kid’s menu.
“Everything is fresh,” Max Shabani said.
The restaurant has a bar, two dining areas — with one equipped for meetings, and a kitchen that was updated. They are open every day from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. with plans to open at 6 a.m. in the summer.
Asked whether any other changes are planned, Max Shabani replied, “The future will tell me.”
Originally from Macedonia (Yugoslavia), the Shabanis have family in northern Wisconsin.
