Simple, unassuming, and affordable, but ultimately delicious. People come here for their famous hot roast beef sandwich. The dish is incredibly simple. Roast beef placed between to places of plain white bread, fries on the side, and gravy all over, in the traditional local style. Doesn't get more basic than good old meat and potatoes. Everything was very tasty, especially the gravy and the fries. For less than $10, it is very good values. Service was very friendly. I'm definitely open to coming back. Some of their other dishes looked good too.

Perhaps the Maple Restaurant has high reviews simply because it is the Best of What is Available in the area, I get that. But it's not very good. I didn't order the signature beef, I ordered another item on the menu, fried haddock. Everything on the menu should be as good as the beef. If it isn't, make it better or get it off the menu. My fish was overcooked, my mashed potatoes were like paste and the gravy tasted like it came from McCormicks. The cole slaw was tasty but all white and green, throw in some shredded carrots and it will be AOK. One of the people at my table has Celiac's, gluten intolerant, the Chef worked well with her, that gave you an extra star. Another at my table got the prestigious roast beef, it was fine but served between two slice of white bread and drenched in brown gravy. Just looking at it made my cholesterol levels elevate. "Oh, the 'mixed greens" on the salads are a mixture of different colors of iceberg. Not my lettuce of choice, ever. Again, the locals flock here, I get that. Drive a few more miles toward Pittsburgh and taste some good food, for the same price.

Out of the way ... not the swankiest area or joint ... but the roast beef is super legit. Highly recommend monthly ... and it will be hard for me to try other items on the menu the roast beef is so damn good

I'm going 5 since I found no fault with our lunch here today. Boy is this place old school! On the back wall above the doors are numbers from 1-9 that light up and make a "ding" sound when a server's order is ready. Most of the servers are older and act like loving grandmothers. Speaking of LUV, my Hot Roast Beef Sandwich, one of my favorite comfort foods, was awesome. It was served up fast,with rich gravy, great fries, soft white bread, and a smile. YUMMAY! I had chocolate cream pie for dessert and it was the best ever. Darren wouldn't let me try his sundae. He said he would but "forgot." :( Meanie. I'm kidding Sexyman. Everyone was so, so friendly here. The dark-haired young girl who rang us out was adorable and complimented me on my purse. I would definitely come back and am glad I bookmarked it. The neighborhood's just fine too.

You walk in and its like you are transported back to 1956! Its exactly what you would expect- you will NOT get farm to table, ingredients I can not pronounce or spell or flashy service. What you will get is old school cafertia food, served by mostly older grandma type waitresses who will chat you up, make sure your drinks are refiilled and you leave with a box. I would not eat here all the time but its a great place for ( of course) roast beef with ( gasp*) white bread. The interior is all decked out with black and white photos and awards they won. Try it.; you won't regret it!

I have been eating here since My wife introduced me to it in 1999. I keep wanting to eat something other than the hot roast beef with fries but I can't. It is just too good. Ask if they have rice pudding if you want a special treat.

Just a quick update. Maple is still great but I have noticed this past year each time I order the amount of Roast Beef seems to decrease ever so slightly. Food is still great but I removed one star since prices stayed the same but the portion size seemed to decrease slightly. Still stop by if you get the chance.

Note: Maple Restaurant's parking lot is directly across the street. Street parking is also available if the lot is full. Maple Restaurant celebrates its golden anniversary next year, and I certainly wish it enough longevity to earn a 10 carat diamond. When you first walk in, you get the impression that this diner has remained in a state of suspended animation since it opened in 1963. Aside from a few young employees, even the help was past middle-age and thus seemed to be profoundly loyal. I overheard one waitress proudly tell a customer that she had been with Maple Restaurant for 17 years. Even before we entered MR and waded through the heavy, thawing snow on quaint Maplewood Avenue (I didn't find it at all 'sketchy') early this bright afternoon, I could tell that WQED's Rick Sebak would have great fun filming a segment here. Our waitress, who served up our food in mere minutes, fussed over us as if we were her grandchildren, watching happily as we gobbled up plates of comforting chuck wagon victuals. Burgundy MR t-shirts, which are worn by the staff and can be purchased by patrons, are emblazoned on the back with "America's #1 Hot Beef Maker." Roast Beef is their staple and can be had in a number of variations. Kay loves hot roast beef sandwiches and ordered accordingly. She did let me try the mashed potatoes, and to me they only confirmed that the mashed potatoes we had last night on a Dad's Pizza (of Beaver Falls) pierogi pie were in fact instant. MR's mashed spuds were fluffy but not overly so, had just enough lumpiness, and did not have one hint of the aftertaste found with instant synthetic potato flakes; MR's are the real thing, and for that I was grateful. I almost ordered a Maple Burger, a burger that has their signature roast beef on it as well as a "special sauce," but our server advised against it, telling me that she "don't care for that one." Man, I love an honest server. When I put my finger on Big Charley, she nodded in approval. "You're gonna like that one," she said with a smile as huge as the clear, blue sky above. And like it I did. My only real complaint with the sandwich was that the roast beef got somewhat dry towards the end, but the nicely liquefied cheese, caramelized onions, fresh, beefy tomato, snappin' BBQ sauce, and toasty bun more than made up the difference. The fries that came with it were soft, crisped, bronzed, salted excellence. I got a taste of Kay's Chocolate Cream Pie, and found that whipped cream definitely works better than meringue (I'm lookin' at you Dick's Diner of Murrysville), with this sort of dessert. I yet again went with a hot fudge brownie sundae, one that MR calls the Maple Sundae (?), and it was up to the same level I have come to expect from such an unheralded treat. The chewy, igneous brownie was buried under vanilla ice cream and a lake of equally decalescent fudge. If you're ever hungry when traveling on Route 65, and it's not too late, give Sheetz or Eat 'N Park a pass; try Maple Restaurant instead for a home-cooked, mom/pop change of pace. Let's help keep them in the black and sustain a part of Americana along with it.

Best place to get Hot Roast Beef, hands down. I always leave the restaurant super stuffed. They have a great selection of food...but I don't suggest the spaghetti. Favorite dishes: Hot Roast Beef with fries (gravy on all), Chicken Parm sandwich, and Chicken Delight Sandwich

Charming ambiance. Hearty food at reasonable prices. Get the hot beef sandwich, obviously.

Any time I am visiting family, I always stop at Maple. While the location is a little sketchy, inside you will find friendly staff, and amazing, hearty food. While they are known for their Hot Roast Beef, my dish of choice is the Fried Haddock with Home Fries. The haddock is some of the best fish I have ever had, fresh and flaky, and perfectly moist. The home fries taste fresh cut, and are large circular cuts of fried potato. I have had some other menu items, like the chicken parm sandwich and mac and cheese, which were both great, but since I only make it to Maple two or three times a year at most, I've gotta get the Haddock when I am there. If you go on Friday though, you've gotta try the jumbo fried shrimp! An unlikely location for amazing seafood!

The 8.99 roast beef with mash potatoe was good, gravy on the side.

I had high hopes for this place and their famous roast beast sandwich, but was sadly disappointed. Have you ever really hoped that you came on the wrong day? That is how I felt...the first time. The Maple has such a strong reputation that I thought I must have had really bad timing. Tried twice since, once to get the real deal, and today because I was in the area. Each time I tried their signature hot beef, each time disappointed. It's not awful, but pedestrian, and about equal to any run of the mill hot beef, though way more expensive. If you want a hot beef that blows them away, go to the South Side, to a little dump of a place a couple of blocks south of Carson St. Sorry, but the name escapes me.

This was a regular place for us to eat. They have one of the best Ruben Sandwiches we've ever eaten! It's the best I've had in years. You should always get gravy with your fries! They breakfast menu is great too. They do get busy but you shouldn't have to wait long.

Have tried eating there twice and both times waited 15 minutes and never we're served drinks. More than half the tables were empty. We left both times.

Like others have mentioned it's like going into a time warp, but in a nice way. Yes it's very dated but neat and tidy. I barely even looked at the menu because i knew I was getting that hot roast beef sandwich that I had heard so much about. It was everything that I dreamed it would be! a really good amount thin sliced beef on white bread with fries covered in tons of gravy...It was awesome. Others at our table had an alpine burger with Swiss and mushrooms, a Reuben burger with coleslaw, Swiss a and 1000 island dressing, and a ham sandwich with big thick sliced ham. one of the desserts on special was a baklava sundae. Omg are you kidding? I'll try to leave room for it next time. Great diner food and nice friendly waitresses. We can't wait to go back.

This place is not in touch with reality. I recall going here as a child for hot roast beef sandwiches so when I came home recently my mom wanted to go to Maple. This very old and disgustingly nasty woman was our waitress. My mother ordered a hot roast beef and asked for gravy on her French fries. The waitress stood there and said noting so my mom, thinking the woman did not hear her she repeated herself. The waitress looked directly at my mother and Said "what makes you think we have to make a special menu for you". I thought she was kidding but she was serious! Maybe she had dementia, maybe she was a nasty old woman I don't know. But what I can tell you is this actually occurs just as I stated. Its sad and abusive treatment. Shame on you !

I'm giving this place five stars because it's about as good as hometown goodness can get - a true 60's diner experience. A Maples roast beef sandwich is something that you have to experience if you live in Pittsburgh - that hot beef with crispy fries and gravy all over is a 'burgh must - so traditional and so damn good. The servers move fast and get you your meal (and if you're smart a slice of delicious homemade pie and some good 'ol diner coffee) as quickly as possible - so if you want to stop in for a quick bite and some Pittsburgh history - visit Maples - and get a hot beef sandwich :-)
(5)Ed A.
The gravy is amazing. Combined with the fries also amazing. It is an old style diner, they do what they do really well. Should be more places like it. Reuben is excellent too. If you want homestyle cooking it's a lot more satisfying than most places in Pittsburgh in spite of what Pat G. suggests.

Mmmmm.... The hot roast beef with fries and lots of gravy is wonderful. I always try this dish at other restaurants around the country and none compare to the maple restaurant. They have adequate parking just across the street and servers are nice with a diner type feel. Definitely recommend!
