Alan LeBlanc talked about his Southern Hospitality philosophy and how it comes through in everthing you’ll experience in each of his restaurant concepts Max Lager’s Wood-Fired Grill & Brewery www.maxlagers.com and the White Oak Kitchen & Cocktails www.whiteoakkitchen.com.

Alan and his partner Cindy have been operating Max Lager’s Wood-Fired Grill & Brewery for the past 14 years.  They are committed to downtown Atlanta and LeBlanc is an active member of the Atlanta restaurant community. Alan is on the Board of Directors of Central Atlanta Progress, has served as President of the Georgia Restaurant Association and is a founder of the Georgia Restaurant Association.

As President of Brewed to Serve Restaurant Group, Inc., majority owner of Max Lager’s, LeBlanc contributes his time and talent developing the staff of Max Lager’s.  He is the driving force behind Max Lager’s and is always testing and tweaking to continue growth.  He is solidly behind the Drink Beer Do Good program and continually seeks ways to help the community as an involved member of our City of Atlanta.

Alan is a 25 year resident of Georgia. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science from the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, LeBlanc moved to Atlanta andestablished a real estate development company specializing in the development of service enhanced retirement communities.  Then he moved internationally, and became active in the development of real estate inMoscow, Estonia and Romania.

While real estate was his initial focus, hospitality was in his veins.  He grew up working in hospitality – his parents owned an inn & restaurant in Kennebunk, Maine as well as a 4-star restaurant on the water in Kennebunkport.  Having worked in food service establishments since the age of 12, he was excited to create a dynamic dining concept in the downtown Atlanta market, opening Max Lager’s in 1998.

Stop by for lunch or dinner, experience Southern Hospitality with professional service and a commitment of caring. This is one of the reasons why it is common for many guests to return even though they are only visiting Atlanta for a couple of days.
