    First time here with 6 family members to celebrate Christmas early. What a gift!! I had the silver dollar pancakes with a side of bacon and oh my— every mouthful a pure maple drenched delight. My husband and grandson ordered pigs in a blanket —holy moly!! We’re talkin a huge pancake log roll filled with 3 large pork sausages - big enough to feed 3 adults yet my grandson ate the whole thing!(eye roll). My husband brought a third home for tomorrow. Daughter had brisket hash which came with seasoned potatoes _ she loved it but also took home leftovers because the portions are so large. She also had a pickle bloody mary— the pickle was the size of a toddler’s foot! The eldest grandson decided to try the french toast logs which could easily have been used to build a log cabin!!! His girlfriend wanted the squash blossom entree which came with eggs smothered in a cheese sauce, the fried blossom plus zucchini. Let’s just say no one left hungry.

    First time here. Loved the maple bacon donuts. Bacon scramble was great and filling. Chiliquilles were delicious. Nice portions. Server, Josh, was on top of every request; and friendly. Tables were close together but noise level was not bad. Next time we’ll try patio.

    Best brunch spot in San Diego! Highlights were the Pork Belly & Eggs and the Holiday brisket hash. Service was great and attentive, they offer almond milk for coffees. Noise level is semi-high but nothing crazy Parking is difficult but normal for Hillcrest area.

    We take my daughter here every year for her birthday. It’s a very special place that has such a vibe. The servers are amazing. The food is so delicious and memorable. I highly recommend the brisket hash and the powdered sugar beignets.

    Our waiter, Justin, was great. My friend kept saying his name over and over....she recently had a horrible waiter at a super high end restaurant, so she was a bit over the top with poor Justin.🤣 The food was phenomenal! We had the special which was a Basil Scallop risotto, which was excellent. We also had an amazing wedge salad. I asked if they had shrimp to add since I wasn’t feeling chicken or salmon. He said sure! I couldn't believe the amount of large tasty shrimp that was added! Most places are stingy and charge like $18 for a few shrimp. Nope, not here. Loads of shrimp and I was shocked when we paid that it was only $8 more! Way to go Great Maple. Already planning a return!
