    We can’t go to San Diego or Pasadena without stopping at The Great Maple. Best made to order Maple Bacon donuts you’ve ever tasted, coupled with excellent buttermilk battered fried chicken, and you’ve got an awesome meal. Service is always excellent as well as the cocktails!

    Great food and service. The waiter let us know how big the portions were, so we were able to split the French Toast logs. Amazing and filling.
