Maple Tree Inn: Reviews & Ratings
I had the jambalaya and it was perfection . The chicken was tender and juicy. The shrimp and crawfish were not overcooked. The rice was delightfully spicy but not salty. I also tried the burnt ends and grits which melted in my mouth. I was not a fan of the tangy pickled cabbage that it came with but I would get it again without it. I also tried the mac n cheese, greens, fried tomatoes, and beignets. The drinks are pretty good as well. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu . The atmosphere was gorgeous upscale yet comfy. We sat next to the fire and Christmas decorations. The servers were all attentive and they described the dishes masterfully. We couldn't decide so we ordered a bunch to share! The portions are a nice size.
Vegan menu with plenty of options. Food was delicious, I recommend getting the vegan cornbread muffins and the brussels sprouts. Food came out fast. It was packed, you might need a reservation (we had one). Our server Adam was so friendly and gave great recommendations. We will be back.
I just need to say that I’m pissed I hadn’t discovered this place sooner. Wow. I’m vegan and they have an entire separate vegan menu I had the vegan cornbread muffins and the.... Vegan creole jambalaya....... My God today. I was and still am blown away. It was so delicious. I’m mourning the leftovers I just finished but I was just reminded of how close this place is to me and I’ll be there at least twice a week. Thank you.
Hidden Gem. Great atmosphere. Great food. Great drinks. Great service. All around great experience. Our bartender Joe was awesome. Definitely a new date night spot 10/10 recommend.
We've been waiting years to eat here! Came in with my family for my husband's birthday. The service was exemplary. The food was incredible. Worth the wait. Make sure you make a reservation! This place is popular for a reason!
Had a great experience at this place! The service was wonderful, and I was pleasantly surprised that the serving staff spoke Spanish too. Really good variety of cocktails and drinks. The menu is small but the dishes are really hearty with good portions. While a bit more on the expensive side, the quality of the food is really good. The cornbread was amazing, and one 8-inch skillet was enough for our group of seven. The only dish that was missing something is the trout, which lacked a bold flavor. Otherwise everything was very yummy and I would recommend visiting!
Everything about the Maple Tree is wonderful, from the front door service to the kitchen/ bar. The wait service is wonderful. I'd love to come here every month if I could. The beignets were delicious as always, and the burnt ends and grits (jalapeno cheddar) were outstanding! I'll be back before my next birthday for sure. See you all soon.
Maple tree Inn was amazing. Located in Homewood, IL. Celebrating my sister’s birthday we chose the perfect spot! The establishment was such a cute and cozy spot. Very intimate atmosphere. A vibe for any occasion. Maple Tree Inn menu are Cajun/Creole cuisines. So much flavors and a southern culture. You will not regret! We ordered the Double Roasted Beet Salad and the cornbread skillet for starters which both dishes were fresh and full of flavors. And for our entrees we ordered the “BLACKENED REDFISH ETOUFFEE: Red snapper served blackened, set over white rice and topped with our famous Crawfish Etouffee; served with braised collard greens. Collard greens definitely had a spicy flavor but still blended so well entirely. Also ordered the BURNT ENDS which consisted of a half-pound of 14 hr. slow-smoked beef brisket, cubed, topped with ancho molasses BBQ sauce, then braised and caramelized; served with smothered okra and horseradish & gouda cheese grits. This was my favorite dish with all the umami flavors you couldn’t resist the dish! And for drinks we had the hurricane & Creole Voodoo Zombie. Both drinks were sooooo good! Made just right! Our server named was Aziel. He was phenomenal! He had a great personality, mannerisms, very attentive and if multitasking was a person! He was our bartender & server and did the job well and with such grace! He made great suggestions and made my first time and sister’s birthday a wonderful experience! Take for the pic! Beignets for cake any day! This spot is a must! Check em out!
