Tried Mapleberry Pancake House for the first time last week. Awesome food! I now have a new favorite soup to add to my list = stuffed green pepper :) Def recommend!

This used to be a great restaurant. The last two times that I have gone we have been seated immediately and then ignored even though there were plenty of wait staff standing around. I couldn't tell you how the food was this last time because after waiting for over 15 minutes to even get coffee we left.

My husband and i used to go here a lot over the past 2 years since we moved to the area. The service and food has consistently gone in one direction -- you guessed it, DOWN. We recently tired to give it one last chance when my inlaws wanted to meet us out for breakfast......amazingly, the waitress was just as horrible at taking care of 4 people as she was at 2. The inlaws ordered tea, and the waitress came with 1 tea pot for the both of them to share, which meant they each got a half of a cup of tea. After flagging her down almost 3 times, she finally acknowledged us and brought them more hot water. To top the breakfast off, when all the meals came, my eggs, bacon and hashed browns were ice cold. Not a little less than warm, we are talking ice cold. I think it is a bad sign when a pancake house messes up breakfast.....find an IHOP because this place is not worth it. Don't even try to tell anyone about your experience either b/c the teenaged girls at the front either play dumb, or just don't care.

Waiting time was not that bad for a Saturday morning. Pancakes were a little on the dry side. Food gets a 5/10 score

If I could describe this place in one word, it would be "Meh". If wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to write home about, either. All the waitresses look like they are straight off Jersey Shore. I got an omelet with pancakes and fruit. Pretty cheap. I went with my mom and our total was 19.07. The service was horrendous, it took about 5 mins for a waitress to answer our drink order (just coffee). Thank goodness the bus boy brought a water vase, or whatever the hell those things are (that was never refilled, mind you). You are better off going to Red Apple. I am going tomorrow for the rebound.

The food is great, the location good. BUT...the staff needs to learn how to enjoy the customers. I felt like I was going into a factory of union workers who didn't care about the customer who's paying the bill. This was about my fifth time there. The menu is good, food good...my critique - love on the customers - then I'll WANT to return versus just being convenient place for breakfast.

I'd be worried if I walked into a pancake house on a Sunday morning and didn't find a full restaurant. Not the case here. The Mapleberry Pancake House in Carol Stream was bustling with activity when I arrived on a late Sunday morning to satisfy my pancake craving. Families, cyclists, couples and singles all filled the airy restaurant. The restaurant was fairly modern with light yellow ochre walls, tiled floor, and dark trim accents. The servers, primarily women, were all dressed in sleek black outfits with the word 'Mapleberry' spelled out across the front of their shirts in eye catching bling (the fake rhinestone type). The bus staff, primarily men, wore black pants and yellow ochre shirts with 'Mapleberry' embroidered in the pocket area. I definitely wanted to try their pancakes, but I also wanted something more. It looked like their pancake orders didn't come with any sides. So I ordered one of the other specials on the menu which included eggs, two slices of bacon, one sausage link, pancakes, and juice. I asked if I could have blueberry pancakes instead of plain, to which my server said yes. The pancakes came with blueberry compote on top, but I was pleased to find that they also had fresh blueberries in the batter too. Overall, the food was decent, prices were fair, service was okay, and bathroom was relatively clean. Definitely a family friendly place and worth a revisit to try other items on the menu.

TERRIBLE! Where should I start? I ordered a simple two egg breakfast, it came out cold- cold scrambled eggs- really? and runny, the bacon was undercooked, the hash browns were brown on the outside and raw beyond that. GROSS! The waitress never came back by even though I pushed the plate away. Finally she comes by to drop the bill and asks how the meal was," terrible, worse meal I have had". So she says really? I'm sorry can we fix it? Um, no. I am not about to try round two. At this point we ask for a bill for the drinks only since we didn't eat (my wife had an omelet that was runny also). So she gives us the bill,and goes over to a lady who is obviously the owner/manager and explains the situation, does the manager come by? NO, do they comp everything? NO. TERRIBLE. Absolutely the worst breakfast experience I have ever had. Kudos to the reviewer that was smart enough to just walk out before even ordering, wish I had had that foresight!
(1)Natalie P.
I have been there once and I thought it was amazing!! Best pancakes I have ever had and my whole family said they enjoyed there meal. Will deffinatly be returning there soon
(5)Patra T.
Pretty good food! Dislike the extra $1 charge for the spitting of a plate. And dislike how close the tiny tables are to eachother. But the hazelnut crepes were awesome! Really good breakfast. I feel like the food did take a long time to come out, though. But other than that good experience!
(3)Dennis S.
Decent, nothing special. Good service, coffee pot on the table is always nice. Everything tasted ok, but nothing stood out. I'll go here again, no problem, it's just that I won't drive past another pancake house to get here. The wait on Sunday at 12:20 was only ten minutes. For a pancake house in a busy area, I would say that is NOT an endorsement.
(3)Allison C.
Just went to brunch there this morning and the wait was only 5-10 minutes which wasn't too bad. Problem is that the front area is small and congested where the hostess was taking people's payments and names down for tables. Not a good idea if you are trying to keep the line moving. The service was definitely slower than normal and I have been to this pancake house a few other times. The waitress was slow with bringing our food out. Other tables received their food before I did and I placed my order way before they even got there. Then the food was cold. It seemed that the food sat out under a warmer b/c my omlette was slightly cold and the hash browns were cold. I've eaten here before and was happier than this visit. My friend and I asked for a take home box and separate checks. Our waitress comes back to our table 5 minutes later with the checks separated but no boxes. This woman needs to work on effiiency. The food was enjoyable, but I wish it was warmer. I would try this place out one more time.
(3)Lucy M.
Terrific breakfast place!! We've been going here for years and it is always busy (even on the weekdays if you get there too early). I highly recommend the gyros skillet (it is "egg"quisite) and comes with pancakes or toast. Portions are large, coffee is hot and they bring as many carafes of coffee as you want. Seems to be the same waitstaff over the years so there isn't much turnover. I recommend breakfast over their lunch menu...tried a few things off their lunch menu and they're just ok. Weekends are packed, so if you don't want to wait, come after 11:30am.

We used to frequent the Mapleberry almost weekly after it first opened. They had good service, and a huge variety of food - and it was not overly expensive. Times have changed now, and if we're going to go out for a meal that costs a good amount, I expect the service to be - at a minimum - consistent. We now rarely go to the Mapleberry for a couple of reasons. The first is, that their service is not consistent. They have one consistent server there, Sarah - and she's so popular that if you don't get there super early, well, you can't request her as your server. One time she had an extra table open, and they would not seat us in her section. I don't know if it was because so many people requested her, or what. Every other server that we've had there has forgotten things, ordered things incorrectly, or even just trying to get them over to your table to refill a soda is a challenge in itself. They also do not check back often to see if you are doing ok. The food and the cost. When we started going there I loved that they had an option for Whole Grain pancakes and turkey sausage. That was, until they raised the price of it by a couple of bucks. I know the economy is part of the drive with this...but there's no rhyme or reason to their price hikes at all, and they offer coupons in a couple of sources, but they aren't worth much -- and are only good during the week. We haven't been there in months, so in regard to the sizes of the servings shrinking, I can't really comment. All in all, if you feel like splurging for a breakfast, and willing to take a chance on the service - go to the Mapleberry. Otherwise, you'll save about $30 alone just making it at your own house.

I usually stop by on my way home from work, it's convenient and my food is ready within 10 minutes. Skip the french toast, it's boring and plain. For some reason, I like the hash browns more when I'm dining in, rather when I'm taking out because it doesn't seem so burnt when I'm dining in. I've had the omelettes, they're pretty good but they're shaped like footballs for some reason? The large sausage links are pretty big, 3 is enough for a meal. The benedicts are really good, I like the hollandaise sauce they use, and i think they sprinkle some paprika on top. They always have a breakfast special menu, and the portions are pretty big for the price, so I always go for that! Environment is very home-y and waitresses are basically all skinny and brunette--just saying. haha, you'll notice. I have yet to try a skillet, but it's on my list of things-to-do for sure.
(3)Dianne S.
Just came back from a late brunch from Mapleberry. I like this place because they have such a huge selection to choose from. They have a whole section of the menu devoted to skillet meals, which i love. They also make a mean corned beef hash-my ultimate favorite. Wait's usually 15-20 minutes during the weekends, but hey-that's the price you pay for not making your own breakfast.
(3)Barbara D.
Second time here...service always seems confused but the food is awesome and the place is decorated comfortably. Gyro meat is fantastic. Pancakes are very good. Little touched. Carafe of water on the tables and also a thermal pitcher of coffee. Fantastic value!
(4)Sean K.
We've been going to Mapleberry since it opened, having gone to Springdale mostly prior to that. Mapleberry's atmosphere is nice and open on the west side with big windows, but the east side feels crowded and not nearly as nice. So we always hope to be seated in the nice open area. Our food has usually been very good, and service decent. One major complaint I have personally is as follows: Once, my wife and I went in for breakfast, but we weren't exremely hungry so we decided to split a breakfast between us. When we ordered the meal and told the waitress we wanted to split it, she told us there was an additional $1 charge for that!!! What?! We should have gotten up and left, but it didn't settle on us what had just happened until we had already agreed. And then... when the food came out it was not even split up onto two plates! What did we pay the extra $1 for?? A penalty for not ordering two separate breakfasts? So what if some couple with just enough money for a breakfast for 1 came in to enjoy a morning out together by splitting a meal, and they encountered that attitude? I think of my wife's immigrant parents whey they were young and new in this country and didn't have much money. Not sure if it was the restaurant's policy or just the whim of the waitress (tall, older, slim lady with straight black hair who has always had a less congenial disposition than the others anyway). At any rate it really turned me off Mapleberry for a while. I even thought of writing the local newspaper about it, but did not. We've been back a couple times since then but not as frequently. Also, my wife feels like even though we've been going there for years the staff has never acted like they know us in any way, or welcomed us back as people whom they recognize at all. Not a big deal to me, but it is to my wife.
(3)Casey T.
We visited Mapleberry after having a bad experience at our regular breakfast place. We should have stayed there. We where shown to a table pretty quickly but the girl never said a word to us, not please follow me or even here is your table. The table was set up pretty nice, water glasses, a pitcher of water, coffee cups, but it took awhile for waitress to see us and finally get some coffee. With the carafe of coffee and the pitcher of water on the table, once we received our food, we never saw the waitress again until it was time for the check! Couldn't ask for more napkins, or more coffee. When we checked out I told cashier it was our first and last time there, she didn't even ask why, just stood there with her mouth open.
(1)Louis B.
Great food always busy.
(5)Melissa B.
Nothing special about this BLAH place- I would never go back. My veggie crepe with hollandaise sauce was very rubbery. I was very disappointed. But that's what I get for ordering crepes outside of a French restaurant. Serves me right I guess. Where is a great breakfast in the burbs already?
(2)Jessica M.
We recently moved out to the suburbs after living in the city, and we wanted to find a decent breakfast place near our house. After driving by this place many times, we decided to check it out a few weeks ago and it was good... it met our expectations. There were tons of options, our food came VERY quickly, and we both enjoyed it. The service was fine... we sat for awhile without coffee refills, but they were busy so I understood. One thing that is particularly awesome about the menu is the option to order a two yoke egg! My favorite part of over-easy eggs is the runny yoke, but there never seems to be enough... so having the option to get an extra yoke was very cool.
(4)Jennifer W.
This pancake restaurant is in our neighborhood and we were quite excited when it opened last year. Convenient and bustling at most times, but good food. The scrambled eggs, ham (from the bone) and american cheese is my favorite, although the pumpking pancakes are running a very close 2nd. The prices are good, but the coffee is a little burned or old at times. The wait staff is usually pleasant. It does tend to get busy on the weekends after church, but we always go earlier and beat the crowds. Good restaurant over all. Recommended.
(4)Richard B.
Came here for lunch. When I got in I was greeted right away and the woman mentioned that I was lucky because I just missed the lunch rush. I was happy. The service though was slow... almost like I was in the middle of the lunch rush minus customers. On the other hand, the food was great. I ordered one of their Eggs Benedict. It was the deli one I think. It had sliced ham and sausage. I thought it was excellent. The Hollandaise was awesome, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the meat was a nice portion. The English Muffin was a bit of a downer though. I enjoyed their hash browns as well.

After Nest Cafe closed, I wanted to find a local place for breakfast. I've eaten here 20-30 times, and overall I'd say it's OK, but I've decided to stop going and find another place. The food is decent and usually very well cooked. The eggs they use are probably the smallest commercially available. The bacon is thin cut, not thick.(Strike One) The point here is that they still give you two eggs and three pieces of bacon, but they make more profit. The service is pretty good and can depend on the server. A few of the servers are very nice, but most are not very friendly, but more business like. During the week there's no wait, but on the weekends, after 9:00 AM there can be a 15-30 minute wait. They don't give customers access to their wifi there.... They have it but wont provide the password.(Strike Two). The room is very plain and uninviting. They don't have many booths and they have a lot of two tops. The two tops are narrow and they only have a foot or so between them....tough to get out and it's hard not to put a butt in the person sitting next to you's face when getting in and out...very cramped...again trying to fit more in to make a profit and less about giving the customer a good experience. The last straw and third strike came when after having patronized them for a few months and many visits, I made a simple request to the blonde woman who runs the place. It was actually a request for a 4 top booth by the window at a very uncrowded time. It was the type of thing that I never had to ask for at Nest Cafe or many other customer friendly places. She got this pissed off look and really tried to force me to sit where they normally put me. So that was it for me...for her, it's clearly about her, her profit and how she wants to run the place.... And it's not about the customer. So today, I've found a new place in Bartlett...The Savory Restaurant on West Bartlett Road.... Where I'm currently typing this review after eating a great breakfast, with much larger eggs, thick cut bacon, wireless service (where the hostess eagerly gave me the password), a very nice room, a server who was very interested in how I was doing...several times during my meal in fact she came back to see how I was doing and they don't have any two tops, where they gladly sat me in a four top on a crowded Sunday and I had plenty of room to stretch out and didn't have stick my butt in someone's face getting in and out and where the person next to me didn't have to return the favor. In a heads up comparison it's a no brainer. If you like Mappleberry, you'll probably love Savory, as it's my new breakfast place in town.
(2)Tim Y.
Service was fine and the place was pretty busy for a weekday morning. The gyros skillet was really good - lots of meat, lots of feta, lots of everything. Also came with a side of tzatziki, yum. Tim tested, cardiologist approved. I also had some pancakes, since I had a choice of pancakes, english muffin, or biscuits and gravy as a side. They were mediocre; not as good as I've had elsewhere because they seemed as though they'd been sitting in a warming tray for a while, but still better than Bisquick. Same goes goes for the syrup - it had that awesome film on the top that says "put me away or heat me up, but don't let me sit here any longer" Would I go back? Sure. It's close to home and relatively good food. It's not the cheapest place in town, but it's also not a crappy IHOP.
(3)Amber N.
My fiance and I went here on a whim to try a new breakfast place other than Denny's or Ihop. Once we were there and ordered our food, that was all the service we got, we barely ever saw our waitress. When we did see her she was waiting on other people, and when we would make eye contact she would quickly look away. I ordered french toast with strawberries... the taste was kinda off and I look over at the kitchen to see my french toast was frozen and the strawberries where prepackaged... not the new home cooked breakfast I was hoping for.
(2)Elizabeth T.
Sometimes you only get one shot at it and you're done. Mapleberry is done for us. I'm searching for a good "wheaty" pancake and noticed advertised that they have a multi-grain pancake. So we drove a ways to get there. The place is pretty packed on a Sunday but the wait isn't long. There are a few tables that I was prepared to say "No, we'll wait" unless you want all those folks waiting for a table to be walking by every minute but we didn't get one of those. To cut to the chase: only one of us got breakfast and even that wasn't great. I ordered the multi-grain pancakes with pecans. Out came a wheat waffle with pecans, which are sprinkled on top rather than cooked in as I would expect. No, wanted pancakes. Partner kept his skillet even though he was very specific that the eggs should have stopped running by the time they got to him. And they were decidedly still runny. Finally, my pancakes arrived. Three bites - flavorless and raw. Partner showed me his pancakes - not quite raw but not quite done either. The server was apologetic but if I were the manager there, this customer would have a coupon for free pancakes. But judging by the other comments, they would be giving away a lot of coupons if they adopted that policy. So I had coffee and we left. How DO these kinds of places stay in business?
(1)Lindsay C.
Soooo delicious! I enjoyed a lunch at this restaurant and EVERY THING our party ordered was great (HIGHLY recommend the stuffed french toast). Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant was clean and decorated beautifully.
(4)John L.
Good breakfast is served here. We've been here several times, as it is very close to home. Nothing to complain about here. Good food and service. What more can you ask for?
(4)Katie W.
It's close to home and I had a friend working there so we would go there for her. But then.... She got a better job. We still went there as it is close but it just went downhill. The nail in the coffin for them, from us, was over the biscuits and gravy. The gravy, particularly. It tasted as if the milk had gone bad. This was our son's meal. We of course told our server who sent the owner over. (Plastic looking woman.) Simple problem, really. This woman however, took it so personally that he did not "like" the biscuits and gravy. ITS HER OWN PERSONAL RECIPE, HOW COULD WE NOT LIKE IT?! ~ which was not the issue. The issue was that the ingredients were bad. Rotten milk is rotten milk, if someone tells you this to your face rather than the health department, listen. She argued with us about this issue pretty intensely and the conversation ended when realized that we were going to pay for the 2 bites taken because she simply was not taking it off the bill, period. Yes, she made us pay the percentage of what we ate. And we shared our small portions with our son because he refused to order anything else. This calculating woman. Wow. We will never be back there. This was a couple years ago, I am surprised they are still there.
(1)Alex N.
Food was good. I had a 4 egg omellette that came with hash browns and pancakes or toast (I got both, hey it was the weekend!). Coffee was quite good this morning as well, they give you a whole caraffe of it to pour yourselves (lazy SOB's). Brianna W had the blueberry pancakes that looked ok. Service was ok. Had to wait about 10 minutes before I went up and asked the waitress for a take home box before we headed towards the front to pay the bill. I dont appreciate these diners where you have to go to the front to pay your bill. If the owner doesnt trust the tramps walking around taking orders with money he shouldnt of hired them! If I was choosing between breakfast places in the area I would more than likely go to Red Apple or Egglectic Cafe over this place.
(3)Rose W.
OK - so I was talked into trying this place again. Not much changed, but it did seem the servers were a bit more on the ball. They were a completely different group than before and they seemed to want to do a good job. However, the kitchen was slow, our orders were cold when they arrived and the food was off just a little bit (American cheese is rarely shredded, but the waitress insisted that the cheese inside the omelet was that and not cheddar). I think I could have gotten a better value going to the IHOP.
(1)Dan N.
One of the better Diner style breakfast places in the area. Service is good and fast, food is always good and the prices are very reasonable. I almost always get a Skillet (it gives you the largest volume of hashbrowns) The only complaint and its a common one is I wish they would cook the veggies longer, I dislike crunchy peppers and onions in my skillet. But Most every place that does a high volume of breakfast has that issue. There pancakes are excellent and they sometimes have some unique specials. I always know what to expect and hey do not disapoint.
(4)Andrew N.
I'm a bit surprised that this place has only 3 stars. It's a pretty decent breakfast place. The waiting staff are polite and quick. The food's been pretty good from my 3-4 visits.
(4)Michael V.
This is really close to our home and decided to check it out since we are new to the area. The place was busy on a Saturday morning but we were seated right away. The place feels clean and bright. The service was fast and attentive. I ordered the polish omelette with pancakes. It was tasty and I shared it with my son. My wife ordered the Grecian omelet. It was tasty as well and it didn't feel oily. Looking forward to coming back for the lunch time and more mornings.
(5)Lefai K.
This diner had the old "greek diner" vibe to it and it was A-OK. The food here was good, and the service was prompt and courteous. Jennifer and I both ordered the 2x2 plus, which comes with hashbrowns, eggs, and bacon or sausage. All food was tasty.
(3)Jennifer S.
Mapleberry has turned out to be a pretty good breakfast spot. I had it bookmarked for what seemed like forever and finally after hemming and hawing over...where should we go? We went here. We've been back a handful of times all of which have turned out the same. Good food and good service. We visit on the weekends and there is always a wait. We have yet to walk in and be seated, but that's a good sign. The waiting area is nice, there's most standing room between the front doors and there's always room to stand outside. Parking has never been an issue here. We have tried everything from biscuits and gravy to crepes to a chicken breast on a pita to the cream of chicken and rice soup to their poached eggs and their corned beef hash. Everything has been good. There is nothing fancy or overly interesting about any of their dishes, but for consistency, it's a nice choice. Plus, it's a great spot to cross paths with other Yelpers! Lol!!
(4)Steve W.
Better than stopping at McDonalds, but not by much. For a place that calls themselves a pancake house they have the smallest list of pancake offerings I've ever seen. There are not even any pancakes in their specialty section. Owners obviously paid a marketing firm to come up with a great name. It just doesn't really describe the business. Better name for business, would be breakfast/lunch place. Hint: create a pancake offering on the menu with maple and berries. You could even put it in your specialities section. Crazy thinking, I know. The big signs in the front windows stating its a non smoking business looks cheap. Hello, this went into effect 10 years ago, pretty sure no one will be surprised at this point. Believe there were a couple other signs that had nothing to do with the food posted in the windows too. My first impression was one of those furniture stores offering 70% off for their going out of business sale, but I digress. Average pancake house. Food was ok, nothing spectacular/special about it. Service and interior was ok and average as well.
(2)Marie K.
First time trying this pancake house and it's definitely worth coming back to! They have good customer service and their food is amazing. Their menu had a great variety and everything was reasonably priced and portion sizes are more than sparing. I got the saganaki skillet and it was mouth watering good! I recommend this to anyone who likes saganaki! I am very eager to go back and try their other pancakes and drink more of their Kona coffee!
(5)Connie L.
The menu is HUGE. Mapleberry gets busy during weekends but the restaurant itself has plenty of space. Any of the omelettes can be grilled instead of pan fried, which uses much less oil. You can also upgrade the pancakes that come with your dish for an extra $2 to any of the pancakes listed on the menu. My bf ordered the gyro omelette, which I actually liked better than my dish (I had a veggie omelette with avocado).
(4)Heather H.
Mapleberry always seems to be busy but you don't wait long for a table or for food. They have a pretty big breakfast menu, a few lunch items too. Never been for lunch, seems more like a breakfast joint. I really love the ham and portobello skillet.
(4)Helena W.
My favorite food for breakfast since my childhood are my mom's pancakes! And pancakes at this place really taste like my mom's ones. Living in different cities with my mom this place makes me feel happy and its kind of nostalgic for me.
(4)A K.
I eat regularly at Mapleberry and overall enjoy the food. I don't eat pork products so I like that they have a turkey option. My fiancé eats plenty of pork for the both of us and loves the meat skillet. If you go on a weekend after 9:30, be prepared to wait because it's packed....which I think speaks volumes about the food. The only reason for the 4 star review is I think the portions are too large for 1 person and I hate wasting food.
(4)Dan B.
Mapleberry Pancake House is a place that was on my radar for a long long time. It's not particularly far from where I work, but by the time they're open in the morning I'm usually hard at work and had been unable to stop in. I finally made the trip to visit after well over a year of having scoped the place out. The first thing to note is that the building itself is actually a ways off of Army Trail. Signage is visible from this very busy street, but the restaurant itself is actually off of Kuhn road and you have to either make a left there or drive through a parking lot to reach it. Once I finally made my way there I stepped in to a fantastic smell of pancakes, from first impressions that appeared to be exactly what I was looking for. After thoroughly investigating the menu I settled on a Mexican skillet with pancakes. Placed my order and waited, the wait was around 20 minutes (about a time and a half what most places I order skillets at take) and there wasn't a lot of customers. This was just slow service. Now the question became was the food worth the wait? I dug into my skillet immediately and there wasn't a lot of egg, there was a decent amount of cheese but the chorizo was a bit on the weak side in terms of spice and flavor. The potato used for hash brown at the bottom of the skillet was mostly soft potato mush, it wasn't very crisp and it wasn't very tasty. The overall taste of this skillet was bland, it was certainly decent sized but it was made up mostly of potato. The pancakes were slightly better but not by much. The pancakes themselves were dressed with powdered sugar, and came with maple syrup. The syrup was fairly thick but had more of a bitter taste than a sweet taste. I wouldn't say the syrup was bad, just not to my general liking. Overall I've certainly been to worse breakfast places than Mapleberry Pancake House. My food wasn't exactly bad tasting, just bland. While service was polite and friendly it was also slow. I'll rate this place well below average and give it two stars.

Love going to breakfast places so decided to try maple berry. The service was good everyone was friendly. The food overall is average. We had omletts and pancakes. The food was ok nothing bad about it but nothing tasted great as well. It was a solid 3 star meal but there are better places.

Very happy with our first trip to Maple Berry Pancake House. Nice menu with breakfast staples. Have the option to grill their omelets which is awesome. Service was awesome - place was clean. Will go back seeing that it is so close.

My hubby is a frequent call in and order on his way home from work so I thought I'd give it a whirl. We went for brunch the other day and I was pleasantly surprised. We pre-ordered and dined in. The food was hot, fresh, cooked to perfection and the coffee was divine! I'm looking forward to going back!

I've had brunch here a few times. The food is decent, but not as good as Brunch Cafe or Red Apple. Their coffee is fairly weak, but this seems typical of places around here. Portions are average. Odd thing? The tables are really cramped. My biggest complaint is the service. Wait staff is ok, but definitely stretched too thin. Worse is the hostess - they routinely give us wait times 50% below actuals. If you call ahead - they seem to be trained to say no wait. Get there 10 minutes later? 30 minute wait. It's annoyed me enough that I won't be coming back.

Well today's trip was ok...I get that it can be busy but today was a fail. I had ordered an omelet with a side of biscuits and gravy...as it was set down I grabbed the end and realized that it was cold and so was the order my dad had. We flagged down the waiter and told her they were cold. She looked at us like we were stupid and asked "are they really cold cold?" Really? How many different options of cold do you have? Sorry but I will be going back to Red Apple where we have never had a bad service.

Food is very good. I used to come here practically weekly. I just stopped a year or so ago because I find the wait staff the majority of the time to be pretty rude. It is a shame. If I had more pleasant experiences with the wait staff I would still be going there.

I wasn't overly impressed with this place. Went here a couple times and had just OK food.

Food is delicious and the staff is very good. My waitress always had my coffee full and the food came out fairly quickly. On a weekend they can get very busy until about noon. Food is worth the higher price

Went here for breakfast today for the first time and we both ordered skillets. They both were very good and the pancakes were also good. The service was not the best and the time it took for the food to come may be the reason there is such a long line at the door but other than that, it was good. Must add that there was a little too much Greek stuff on the menu, we get it, it is owned by Greeks but you don't need to have a Gyro Skillet or Saganaki salads/skillets at a breakfast place. A little more variety would be nice.

They had excellent service considering now busy today was. My family and I came in for brunch and were all very pleased with our meals. Our waitress even re-made a grilled cheese for my nephew because he's so picky! Very nice waiter and excellent food. Overall we were very pleased with our experience. Would recommend to friends!

My family and I love this place! We try to go for breakfast once a week! The servers know who we are and know what we like to order. We get the same corner booth and we obviously love the food too!

In the years since I wrote my original review, Mapleberry has taken the title of my favorite local breakfast spot over from Red Apple. Their staff is much improved and the food continues to be great.

I am pretty much an eggs benedict snob. This place had the most delicious "Irish Benny," made with 3 poached eggs & corned beef hash atop a crispy English muffin and, of course, slathered with hollandaise sauce. It was outstanding! The only reason I give 4 stars is due to the average service. Will definitely visit again!

Cook takes pride in their eggs. Poached eggs are made perfectly!!! I thought the price was expensive for a breakfast place. More expensive than our family eating at Wildberry.

This place put me in a good mood for some reason. Maybe it was because I was hungry and the food hit the spot. Maybe the decor was bright and cheery. It certainly wasn't the dirty coffee cups or silverware (gross, but I was able to overlook them). The waitress eventually found some clean ones, so it wasn't that bad. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but I really enjoyed the coffee here. I think the flavored creamers were a contributing factor. My eggs were done just right and I thought everything was reasonably priced. $6.99 for 3 eggs, 2 bacon, a sausage and 2 heavenly apple Cinnamon pancakes = one satisfied customer!

Good potato pancakes. This place is close by and we would always pass by. It was almost so close we'd forget about it. But then one day we went in. There always seems to be pretty quick service even if it looks busy. My one gripe is they don't really have a good place for a baby carseat. Ok, I suppose they dont' need to, but it's either bring the stroller and block the aisle or squeeze into a couple of the booths that will fit the carseat. The area up top works, but sometimes it's closed when they are ramping down. I like the healthy pancake combo, I forget what it is called. But it's like some egg whites, multigrain pancakes and some splenda syrup. Oh and turkey sausage. I'm happy they have turkey sausages. Too many places only have pork. That's fine, but I prefer turkey. Overall it's a good place, and we've even done takeout (when our kid was first born and wifey had a hankerin for some hash browns.) One thing to point out: if you get your hash browns well done, it seems to take a while.

Mappleberry is probably one of the worst restaurants that I have been too. The food is below average - ordered biscuits and gravy and it was cold, have order eggs benedict where the eggs were overcooked (poached eggs should not be hockey pucks) and the staff seemed put out that I brought it to their attention. I don't like to be negative after only one visit and that is why I've given Mappleberry multiple chances - everyone can have a bad day. But this has been a constant theme with them at each of my visits. Also disappointed with the service. Prices are too high as well - $20 for eggs benedict, chocolate milk and a side of bacon is ridiculous!

We've been to Mapleberry Pancake House a few times for breakfast on the weekends. They haven't blown me away yet, but it's pretty good. The restaurant itself is nice and open and bright. It's a pretty big place, which is nice at those busy times. Although it can be fairly loud, it's a not tooooo loud to have a conversation with my family. The food is pretty good. The first thing I tried, the golden french toast, was strange albeit edible. It was an odd choice of ingredients to throw together on a plate, I didn't see it on the menu last time we were in, so maybe they realized it's not a great choice. With that said, they still were able to pull it off and it was tasty. My brother really likes their tamale and chili omelet. The service is always good. No complaints there. They never bug us but don't leave us waiting for them either. They have a huge sign in the window stating that their last tables are seated 15 minutes before closing time. I don't really understand this theory, but, at least there is a sign letting you know. So, while they close at 2:30, you need to be seated by 2:15 if you want to be served any food. Which, to me, means you close at 2:15, but I'm not a restaurant professional, I don't even play one on tv, so what do I know.

Our family went on Sunday morning expecting to wait. It was pouring rain so everyone was cramped into a small waiting area. Instead of the hostess accommodating the guests that were waiting she chose to have everyone move for her. She walked through announcing "you will need to move I need space to walk ". We gave her space, we left! Their food is very over priced and the space cramped.

Happened to be in that area with family on a sunday morning. Saw it and pulled in, unfortunately. Walked in and was not greeted by 3 jersey shore look alike teenage girls. They all seemed busy counting the ceiling tiles. So then this other girl walks us to a table, drops the menus and just keeps walking to another table to chat with her regulars i guess. A waitress shows up and i ask for the wifi password.....she gave me a dirty look and told me they didnt have wifi. Yes lady. You do, and i'd like to connect to it. To no avail. This place just gave us a bad vibe. So we got up and walked out. So i habe no idea if the food is good or not. Nor will i ever know. We drove down the street to Spring Cafe and had a great bkfst with warm professional service.

I ordered a create an omlette with chicken onion cheese and bacon with no fruit or hasbrowns no toast just an omlette and it was over $10.50!! It was good but not that good.

We drove out of our way to partake in some chocolate chip ppancakes that my husband was craving. This was decent, but totally average. We arrived to what appeared to be an extremely long wait. Come to find out it was a large table waiting ot be sat together. We were sat within 5 minutes. Bonus... The server was nice and brought out our own insulated pot of coffee for our table. I have mixed feelings about this. One... I'm happy I have unlimited coffee but two, it is in a thermos and I'm not really being waited on. What the heck do you do with my coffee when I'm done with it? Serve the luke warm remnants to the next unsuspecting guest? I ordered a denver skillet with a side order of buscuits and gravy. The skillet was quite good. The buscuits and gravy were marginal and had little to no sausage in the gravy. It suspiciously tasted as if it were made from a packet despite the guarantee from the waitress that it was homemade. Don't waste your side on this.. Get the pancakes. My husband ordered scrambled eggs, bacon hashbrowns and chocolate chip pancakes. A-OK in his book with the exception of his feeling the coffee tasted like water. Perhaps he got someone else's left overs? Last, I have to note the obnoxious sign as you enter the restaurant that they take their last walk in 15 minutes prior to closing? Hey- here's a thought... Don't be ghetto and turn away business. If someone wants to walk in 2 minutes to your 3:00PM closing time... SERVE THEM with a smile on your face or close earlier. I dealt with this a server and you are not that awesome that ou can beat customers away wiht a stick. Can't say I won't return but can't say that I will rush back.

Great restaurant. The wait is perfect. We were seated not even 10 minutes after we checked in and the waitress came right away to offer us drinks. We ordered and 15-20 minutes after placing our order and the food was nice and hot. I ordered the avocado omelet which had big chunks of avocado which I loved because I love avocado. I was pleased with my first visit here at mapleberry and will come back again!

My husband and I came here for brunch yesterday. We usually have good service and quality food when we come here, but we had a major issue yesterday. We did get seated right away, since we went after the huge rush. Once we got seated, our waitress or waiter didn't come to our table. We waited for 15 min before we decided to walk out. As we were walking out, the person at the front didn't want us to go and sat us back down. She had another waitress take care of us and specified that the whole meal would be on them. After that, our service was steller and the food, as usual, was excellent. I didn't give this review a full 5 stars because of not being acknowledged for 15 min, but once we were, we didn't have a bill and the service was much better. I'm not sure what had happened in the beginning, but we will continue to come back due to the service we received after we almost walked out.

I can't say anything bad really about Mapleberry, the food is hot, the place is clean and the service i usually pretty prompt. We go because of convenience of location. Pancakes are alright, nothing special. The skillets are usually pretty good and the rest is alright as well. I wouldn't go out of your way for it but if you are int eh area and want breakfast, not a bad choice.

Been here with some friends and even dined solo when I wanted a day to myself. If you can get past the somewhat surly hostess, the experience is quite nice. Very bright and open space, even when it's overcast outside. Large windows bring in a lot of natural light. Its a "pancake house" but I've never had the pancakes! But the other items I've tried have been good--French Toast, Eggs Benny, and most recently Egg White Omelet. Dining service is friendly. I like how they leave a carafe of ice water and a carafe of coffee at the table for you. There are the international delight mini creamers on the table if so need a little flava with your java. The menu has a lot of basic breakfast items on the menu with daily specials. It's also not hard to miss all the ads they place in their menu from the local businesses that want to advertise--I felt like I was reading one of those magazine flyers we get in the mail with all the coupons. Anyway, solid breakfast place. No frills, good food. reasonable prices.

We go here all the time! The food is great when they get it right..ordering for take out can be hit or miss!! All I can say is double check order when picking up, cuz chances are it will be wrong or missing stuff! We will continue to eat there but make sure i check order before I leave!!
