Buzz has been building around the pop-up version of The Max, the [_Saved by the Bell_](http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/08/06/nineties-nostalgia-play-the-saved-by-the-bell-interactive-youtube-game/?iid=sr-link5)gang’s [favorite hangout,](http://savedbythebell.wikia.com/wiki/The%5FMax) for months. The [Saved By The Max](https://www.facebook.com/events/942955415760073/) is a must-see for fans of the show and for anyone suffering from acute ’90s nostalgia. At the replica diner, guests can order up a pulled pork AC Slider or a Mac & Screech, shove some quarters in the jukebox to listen to [Zack Attack](http://entertainment.time.com/2009/04/16/top-10-fake-bands/slide/the-zack-attack/?iid=sr-link1)‘s “Friends Forever,” which is in heavy rotation. Peruse the diner’s collection of actual props from the show, or spend some time grilling the waitstaff on _SBTB_ trivia, because according to [_People_](http://greatideas.people.com/2016/05/31/saved-by-the-max-chicago-diner-review/), the owner made the waiters pass an in-depth [_SBTB_ knowledge](http://time.com/3696826/jimmy-fallon-saved-by-the-bell-reunion-tonight-show/?iid=sr-link3) test before they were hired. The luckiest diners will be sent to the principal’s office to eat a [Kelly Kapowski](http://time.com/3697771/tiffani-thiessen-saved-by-the-bell-cooking-channel/?iid=sr-link5) (that’s a Monte Cristo made with prosciutto, gruyère and spicy brown mustard) in a replica of Principal Belding’s inner sanctum, complete with copies of his diplomas, the signature wood paneling and, naturally, a ‘Go Bayside’ pennant. Saved By The Max will be open only for the month of June, so superfans will want to head to Chicago soon for a chance to drink a Lisa Turtle Milkshake while watching Max himself (Ed Alonzo) perform magic tricks.
