    Had a great brunch with my bestie! Service with Justin was excellent - he was attentive without hovering and he was especially patient when we spilled a cocktail! Ordered the churro donuts which were excessive (we knew that when we ordered) and I would have liked the chocolate sauce to be Mexican chocolate to cut some of the sweetness but that’s just my preference. I love the vegan hash and their espresso martini! Their martini is the best around SD in my opinion. The strawberry fields margarita was also delicious!

    We had a fantastic meal, including drinks, salad, dinner, dessert, and coffee. I had a pear deux for my starting drink, and it was decorated with a cinnamon stick and thin slice of pear. My husband had a whiskey blended with orange and blueberries. Both drinks were in tumblers and were delicious. I had the duck over risotto with the freshest peas and micro greens. The sauce was divine. My husband had the ribs over mashed potatoes, whereby the meat just fell off the bone. We finished with a pot of chocolate, with real whipped cream and a side of tangy raspberry sauce. The service was so perfect, checking on our progress and filling water with great timing. Thank you! This restaurant created a really enjoyable evening for us.

    Our food came out quickly and was so delicious. I do miss the pop overs but I’m so happy they still offer the slow cooked brisket. I always love bringing out of town family and friends to Great Maple because I know it’ll always be a good time. Good food, good service and good ambiance. Thank you!

    We enjoyed our meal. The mushroom appetizer was fantastic. We asked for a booth and got a very nice one. Will be returning for sure.

    Had a luncheon with a friend at this venue and ordered quiche. It was just ok. The staff, however, were very friendly. My impression from the menu is that this is likely a great place to have breakfast rather than lunch.

    Everything was amazing. The one downside, not the restaurant’s fault, was the ppl sitting next to us.
