We came to great maple to celebrate two birthdays and ended up disappointed. Our server rarely checked on us but checked on all the tables around us. My food came out long after everyone else’s and the donuts in the fried chicken and donuts was raw in the middle and had to be sent back / they didn’t even offer to cover the charge. My husband got the Cajun shrimp Benedict and it was watery and bland. The French toast logs that were ordered were complete mush in the middle and the fries unseasoned. Definitely disappointed I spent my birthday celebrating here.

A group of 5 friends went to celebrate one of the girls’ birthday. We were very disappointed with the whole experience. The maple bacon donuts were delicious, but the compliments end there. The rest of the food wasn’t good - and wasn’t served at the correct temperature. It was very busy and we had to ask multiple servers for the same items repeatedly because they kept forgetting. We understand many places are shortstaffed, but it just felt like our two servers were checked out at times. Also, the restaurant felt dirty, the floors near the entry were as nasty as some gas station restrooms. Again, we understand it was busy and there was a lot of foot traffic, but that happens at other reataurants too and they manage to keep it tidy and clean for the enjoyment of their guests. We’re used to paying a good amount of money for food and have no qualms about doing so, when it’s warranted. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing and at times because of the uncleanliness we felt a bit disgusted too.

Took my daughter, granddaughter and wife for a belated Mother's Day brunch. Restaurant was packed when we got there for our 10:30 reservation but we were seated immediately. Originally had reservations for outside but because it was very hot, I changed that morning and requested inside seating. So, the question is, would I rather be hot and be able to have a conversation, or comfortable and not be able to hear my tablemates. The dining room was at jet engine decibel levels. Really not sure they could do anything about that but, assuming decent weather, will request outside seating next time. We ordered the chocolate chip pancakes, regular eggs benedict and cajun shrimp benedict and passed them around. We all enjoyed each dish. The food here is always great. Also ordered the famous maple/bacon donuts, mostly to go, and the one we sampled at the table was excellent. Waitress (didn't catch her name and she didn't introduce herself) did her job adequately but seemed stressed with the large crowd and wasn't enjoying herself or ready to engage us with a smile. That took slightly away from our enjoyment but I understand how those folks must be having a hard time coping these days. All, in all, would definitely go back again.

Enjoyed my meal a lot (chicken & donuts), enough vegan options to satisfy my party. The menu definitely lacks breakfast staples, like someone wanted a light breakfast, eggs and toast. Still would go back and try different things when I'm back in town

The food was great, but because our reservation was toward the end of the day, I felt like we didn’t get the service that was expected. I had to remind the waitress for our drinks because no was making it, for our to go boxes, for our bill. It might be because of the time, but that still doesn’t excuse the service.

The patio at Great Maple is perfect for a birthday lunch -- comfortable, lots of space between tables, nice breezes, shaded from the afternoon sun... Staff were all very welcoming, helpful, kind, and professional. Excellent cocktails -- particularly the Great Mule (hibiscus and passion fruit infused vodka, ginger, lime -- what's not to love!) and Blood Orange Margarita. As far as entrees go, try the Maple Pecan Crusted Salmon -- so yummy! Will definitely return!

Outside was so warm that I asked for an inside table but nothing was open. And I made a reservation almost a week in advance. They were at first apathetic but later apologetic and admitted it was uncomfortable on the patio. Make sure you write that you want an inside table when you reserve your space if the weather is warm. I was more focused on writing down a friend's allergy that I did not think to jot down a seating preference. Service was alright. Our food took a very long time to arrive but was very delicious. The manager gave us a free dish because of the extra long wait on one of the dishes. We were all almost done eating by the time it came. But that dish was free. That was kind and very appreciated.

We had friends in town and decided to go here for brunch. I had the Fried Chicken and donuts and it was very good. It did take a very long time for the order to arrive and as is the new norm in Southern California, they didn’t mind letting us know when they needed the table. We had a great time which was more a result of the friends we were with.

We waited a while for our food but it was Sunday brunch so as expected. However I ordered the Cajun shrimp Benedict with hard poached eggs and got them runny. We also ordered the cauliflower hummus as an app but it came out way later with our food. The service was okay, it seemed like they were understaffed for the volume that day. We were comped the 2 items above so I’d give it another try before recommending.
