For fans that missed the chance to experience this nostalgic culinary drive down memory lane, all hope is not lost.  The highly successful sitcom send up is headed to Los Angeles in the first stop on planned tour.

While no official opening date or diner décor information has been released, if the Chicago experience is any indication, fans of the show are in for a real treat.  In its first incarnation, the pop-up shop bar and restaurant’s retro revelation remarkably resembled “the Max” as seen in the television series.  Saved by the Max is also sure to continue its “Saved by the Bell” themed menu of munchies and beverages.  The full menu is located on their website.
