    Had reservation and was seated immediately. Slow but friendly service. Had to ask twice for water and drink refills. Donuts were delicious as always. Surprised by a special birthday treat.

    Had a very good casual lunch there - the place was "hopping" but the service was very good and the food delicious. Good menu choices ranging from healthy (great veggie sandwich) to towers of French toast we kept seeing going by. definitely recommend reservations as there was quite a wait at noon. the outside seating area (not big but more seating) was closed due to rain so that might have caused the wait too. We'll be back!

    Excellent experience once again. We’ve now been there enough to have tried almost the entire menu, so now it’s just deciding which one to try next. My wife ordered the Turkey Bolognese, and was astounded by how delicious it was. I myself had the street tacos which is always a go to on Fridays during lent. We had plans later that night, so we had to skip on appetizers/dessert, which we usually pick one of. Josh was our server, very attentive and polite. Thanks Josh!! Cannot say enough great things about this restaurant!!

    I had an absolutely amazing experience at Great Maple! From the moment I checked in on my phone, I was immediately invited to my table—such a smooth and welcoming start. The service was exceptional, with staff being attentive and professional throughout. The food was delicious, and I highly recommend this spot for a brunch.
