Service and food were for the most part very good. The crab dip was slightly oversalted. The wedge salad and cabriole salad were very good. The portions are decent. We enjoyed our lunch.

Gretna

About the restaurant

The Red Maple was originally owned and operated by the Trauth Family, a German-American family of restaurateurs spanning 100 years in Gretna. And what began in 1963 continues to this day, holding to its German roots through its rustic Alpine lodge decor, extensive beer selection and annual Oktoberfest celebration. In fact, it was a red maple tree in the side yard that inspired the name of the bar – The Red Maple – with the restaurant being added in 1965.

Now for over 50 years, The Red Maple has been the rendezvous spot for West Bank movers and shakers known for its Prime cut steaks, New Orleans favorites and fresh Louisiana seafood.

Today, under the passionate guidance of Proprietor Brent Trauth and his sister, Carroll Gales, The Red Maple continues to deliver on its reputation for delicious food, exceptional service and rich Louisiana history. A rich and storied past that is only upstaged by the dining experience itself.

We might have had an exception to their normal service but we were forgotten not once, which I could overlook, but twice. The first time she was extremely apologetic as we sat there for 10 minutes after her taking our drink order before one out of three came. We had to remind her of the others which she brought immediately. Then we ordered a second drink before our food came and our waitress brought it over after we were done with our meal. And we were done for at least 5 minutes; maybe longer. This time she didn’t even say anything. The shrimp Benedict was awesome though!!
