    I truly enjoyed my birthday dinner at Maple Tree Inn. It’s NOLA vibe made you feel you were actually there. The service and food was impeccable. I would highly recommend you visit this restaurant.

    We decided to return to Maple Tree Inn after a long hiatus. I have returned to the area and am pleased to say that the food is just as good, if not better, than it was in 2019. This is a long standing establishment for a reason. The menu is not excessively large, but that is perfect because that ensures the quality of the dishes are fine tuned to excellence. As appetizers, we got fried green tomatoes, which were the best rendition I’ve had thus far, and a generous amount of cornbread for the price. All of the food and drinks were fairly priced and the portion sizes for the main dishes, fried catfish and burnt ends, were easily large enough to have leftovers. Overall, a great dining experience and a place I will return to sooner rather than later.

    Hubby and I went to Maple Tree Inn and they did not disappoint. The customer service by ALL of the staff was amazing. Our server was Joseph and let me say, he was so attentive, professional, spoke clearly when offering his recommendations for food, and appeared to be jovial at work. We ordered the Jambalaya, the Fire Roasted Brussel Sprouts and the Burnt Ends. The chef had a good night because everything was seasoned well, not too salty, not too spicy, just full of flavor and very savory. The portions were plentiful. As a matter of fact, when I ate some of the b. sprouts, I started to get full. Maple T. I. was not stingy with their portions at all. The prices are very reasonable. The bathrooms were clean and they have HOT WATER TO WASH YOUR HANDS!!! (I do not like going to a restaurant and the bathrooms have cold water..like…what germs are you possibly washing away?!!) Maple T. I will surely see us again!

    Beautiful restaurant, staff is very attentive, and restaurant was clean. Matt (our server) was pleasant & attentive. The meals were hearty and delicious. The coleslaw needs work. It's dry and tasteless. The catfish was awesome! Try the delicious jalapeno cornbread.

    The server was not as attentive. I been here serval time and this is a first we waited so long to put our order in also second refills was not right. I have never notice the gratuity was added on the check. And it was put down as great service. I think the customer should be the one who decides on that. The food was outstanding never a complaint on that!
