    Great Maple is the best brunch in San Diego. The beef brisket hash, scrambles and French toast are outstanding and service is always attentive and friendly. This is a neighborhood gem!

    Great Maple remains a "must go to" restaurant for my family and friends. Today's experience met expectations for service and food. I introduced 2 friends to Great Maple, and they plan to go back. The beignets sealed it for them. They have their eyes on the maple bacon donuts for the next visit.

    Truly a fantastic experience ! Mushroom Parmesan fries were memorable! Caesar salad was best we ever had, and fresh toast logs with buttermilk fried chicken and gravy were a real treat for dinner! Will be back when whenever we visit San Diego!

    We love Great Maple for brunch, but this was our first time going for dinner. It was amazing! The holiday decor made for such a fun ambiance after seeing The Grinch in Balboa Park. Food was delicious. Holidays cocktails were jolly. I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

    Maple bacon donuts were obviously cooked in oil that was not up to temperature. Dense and greasy. Avocado toast was tasty.
