Great Maple San Diego

We made a reservation and were seated promptly upon arrival. Maya was the hostess with a fun personality. Jamie was our server, she made great recommendations and we all tried one. The Waffle Lollipops were gone super quick. And the Lump crab cake was so delicious. I will definitely come back just for that alone.

I hope you are able to keep the extended outdoor dining. That is nice to be outdoors in the good weather. Overall, really enjoyed our brunch.

Not your issue though we had 3 ambulances go by in our time there. Part of outdoor dining. LOL

Amazing food and amazing service! I brought my little cousin here for his birthday and he loved it!

Late lunch with a friend. We were seated quickly. Entire parking lot was turned into a dining area which made parking difficult on a Sunday. Would have preferred sitting indoors as it was a really warm day but the outdoor dining area was well thought out and shaded. Was disappointed when I learned restaurant stopped serving Allagash White but my Mai Tai was really good. Food and service was great!

Excellent brunch

Good food! Huge portion sizes.

Great selection of Bloody Mary’s for brunch. The cooked to order Maple Bacon Doughnut was absolutely delicious and easily large enough to share. Both entrees were exceptionally delicious.

Definitely try the mushroom fries and the salted caramel pork ribs, and if not the first time you go, then definitely the second. We ended up picking a rather quiet time slot, and were attended to as such - quickly. We ordered the maple bacon doughnuts for dessert and I’d say at least 4 adults could share one plate. No issue with the portion size, it was just that we were adequately filled and think it would definitely be a good size for a brunch plate. A good crowd ending up showing as we were there, and we think the restaurant attracted a cool 😎 crowd. We noticed people were dressed more semi casual which is definitely our style, and to each his or her own. Hope you enjoy your experience, I believe you might. Thanks for reading this review.

We weren’t sure who our initial server was and several servers ended up waiting on us. It took a little long to get our drinks but the food came out fast and was good. The maple bacon glazed donuts were amazing.

Great experience overall and will be back. The staff was a little flustered with shift changes and breaks which caused some confusion but nothing worth “complaining” about just giving and honest opinion. Everyone in our group was full and happy so thank you.

Another wonderful meal, service was great, food very tasty with well thought out flavor combinations and textures.

Talk about knock your socks off! A dining experience for us begins in the parking lot however Great Maple turned their parking lot into outdoor dining area. We found a parking spot nearby without having to circle the area too much, granted this was on a weekday and not the weekend but it’s San Diego so parking is expected to be a scavenger hunt. When we walked in the door we were greeted by a very friendly hostess! We arrived about 15 minutes before our reservation but were seated immediately. Every single employee here were actively working their tail off ensuring their customers had what they needed in a timely manner. We expected to wait awhile to order and get our food as that seems to be the norm in SD, we were delightfully surprised that we ordered our drinks and food and everything arrived quickly! Servers were attentive and even though the place was busy as heck, the plate presentation was perfect! We enjoyed our experience here and will definitely be back!

The bacon maple donut is amazing! I had the vegan hash and it was delicious. The portions are huge!

I live in the neighborhood and been wanting to try this place so did so on my birthday but to be honest, I dont get why people like this place. The menu seemed fairly tame and the food quality was really basic and average. The pancakes didnt taste anything special, they poured a glob of peanut butter on my daughters - so unattractive she didnt even want to eat them. Her poached eggs were undercooked and cold and my other daughter's blue berry pancakes were a stretch. they were pancakes and tecnically there was about 10-15 blueberries on top and nothing else - the presentation sucked and the food quality was just average. The prices are way out of line with the product and experience. Service was average - nothing special. My kids didnt even finish thier hot chocolate! My kids didnt like the food or place and thats a first - damn, who doesnt like brunch? They love park house just blocks away but this place - they dont want to go back and I dont see the point given so many other great options. I took a friend with me and they didnt like it either - just overall a bummer of an experience.

Always a great experience

Delicious food but HUGE portions. Be prepared to eat.

Love the food and service!!!! Great adult beverages!!!

Always great service, food, and drinks. Love it!

I reserved for a party of 6 on a Saturday for outside seating. It was a very hot day but thought the cool breeze would help. The restaurant was extremely busy and it took a while for our server to greet and take our order. Our server was pleasant and acknowledged our small dog which was nice. The food and drinks were good but I did notice they changed their drink menu a bit. (I miss the One Armed Bloody Mary they use to offer) My only complaint would be that the area where we were seated had BLACK umbrellas to shade the guests and in another section/area had white canopies. My group was melting under the black umbrellas. There were no fans and the are seemed unfinished in comparison to the nice white canopy areas. Overall I will be back but will request different seating.

When I lived in Hillcrest, around eight years ago, I spent a lot of time at Great Maple. I haven’t been there in five years and I was excited to get back. That excitement quickly faded.

As I entered, I was almost ran over by a staff member that was in such a hurry she didn’t care who or what was in the way. As we proceeded to our table, the busser was hitting people with their trays.

Once we settled in, it took our waiter 10min before they acknowledged us for the first time.

The whole night went down a spiraling path, but the only saving grace was the food. It was still delicious and flavorful, which I was thankful for. But, I will think twice about coming back.

Lovely meal, splendid service, had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary. Special thanks to Jess for being so very sweet!

Served hot water on a hot day. Literally had to beg for ice water. Server was inattentive. Food was so so. They increased the price of the food to pay their servers more, and now it seems like the team doesn’t care whether they get a tip or not. Very sad.

It was my very first time here and I decided to bring along my little sister and grandmother too! The food was amazing, the lattes were “on point” and the service could not have been better. I always base my experience from the minute we walk in the door and I definitely felt noticed, immediately. We were sat down right away and it did not take long to receive our food. I would most definitely return, next time with mom and dad too!

A little slow but great.

Great food and wonderful service! Will definitely make it a part of any future trips to San Diego!

Had 20 minute wait for table even with reservation. Place is extremely busy at lunch/brunch on weekends. Will probably only go in future for evening dinners and not brunch. Food and service were very good as usual.

The food was great, but service was slow and aloof

My family loves gathering here.

The food was great!! The portions are huge, and the food is aesthetically pleasing. What more can you ask for?

Love this spot!

Nice experience in a quieter suburb of Downtown San Diego.

Outdoor seating was plentiful and service was great!

Accommodated all guests for the event
Thank you for welcoming us to your establishment.

The service, the food, the ambience was outstanding! Highly recommend the brisket! You won't regret it!

They have a great outdoor dining set-up and to top it off the food was amazing!

Food and service was wonderful!

Good was amazing, super good and our server was top notch.

Special drinks super yum.
Will eat here again.

The food was delicious and well served. We ate brunch there and the prices felt high ($70 for 2 adults & 1 child) but maybe that’s normal for California?

We had a reservation at 7:15 pm. They waited to seat us til exactly 7:15 when they had open tables. When they finally sat us they sat us all the way at the far corner. We thought maybe the restaurant was full but we t seem like they sat us there on purpose. We totally felt segregated not sure if it was because we were to black Latina women. The server Jess had a nice personality but it took forever for her to finally come to our table and the food took forever. Won’t be going to this raciest establishment again.

Delicious as always. Our favorite brunch spot in SD

Very good food, HUGE portions. Our server Jaime was incredibly helpful in helping us determine appropriate portions for two people so we weren’t left with a weeks worth of leftovers. We had to order the maple bacon donuts and it was definitely worth it. The brisket English popover was very good was well

The service and restaurant were nice. We decided to try this location after less than stellar food at the UTC location. This was more of the same overpriced food. I ordered the special which had fried oyster in it, the oyster was soggy and had no flavor definitely had to be frozen before. Drinks were meh. For two entres and two drinks this was not worth $80. I don’t think I would have paid more than $40 total for the meal. Definitely won’t be going back, it’s one of those places that is popular because it’s popular and not because the food is any good.
