The Maple Tree Inn never disappoints. I love that they offer vegan options as well as the normal offerings as that is hard to find. The service was friendly and the food came out in a timely manner. Everything we ordered was 10/10. The only hiccup was that the red beans & rice don’t list meat in the description but our server was able to offer the cajun rice as an alternative for our vegetarian guest. All and all, a wonderful experience and definitely a hidden gym in Chicago’s South Suburbs.

My fish entree was excellent, vegetables great but the potatoes were not good. We had a table in the bar, which was great and the noise level was fine.

Wonderful early dinner and perfect restaurant for meeting with son and his new girlfriend. Winetasting should be a part of all memberships. It was weird I’ve been a member since forever and they just joined last month but they had winetasting privilege but my husband and I did not. I understand why but that system sucks and with there no longer being crackers or an attentive person to help discuss the wines, the cost seems really unnecessary for long time members.
