    I went on Saturday, December 28, 2024. This was my first time. The fried catfish and Mac n cheese were delicious. Also, the jerk chicken wings were good. I enjoyed the live music. I enjoyed everything and will be going back. ☺️

    My experience at Maple Tree was wonderful! The valet who parked my car was friendly and accommodating and so was the hostess at check in. I had my meal at the bar and Emily was the bartender/server. She was extremely warm and friendly and offered excellent drink recommendations! Service was efficient but not rushed and the music and atmosphere made my experience even more enjoyable. I’m a vegan and I love that they offer a full vegan menu, from starters to dessert! I ordered the cornbread muffins, blackened mushrooms and grits and for dessert, cranberry apple crisp. Every morsel was delicious! Great energy and scrumptious food, I’d highly recommend!

    Food is amazing and the ambience is great but the service was lacking. It was not crowded at all (3 other tables and a few people at the bar) yet we still had to wait quite awhile for someone to take our order. Our appetizers arrived less than 5 minutes before our dinner. We were nearly done with our meal by the time someone came to ask if we wanted another drink (our glasses were empty for a good 30 minutes). Despite the service we would definitely eat here again. The food and cocktails were fantastic.
