I absolutely loved coming here. I was so impressed with their social distancing. I felt extremely safe while inside. The wait staff was also amazing. Everyone was so friendly and very prompt. I also enjoyed the food! I ordered the Bloody Mary! I would highly recommend trying their Bloody Mary if you enjoy bloodys. I also ordered the smashburger and pizza quesadilla! Both were delicious. If you have never been to Birch and Maple, you are missing out! read more

Birch & Maple - Bloody Mary- highly recommended! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Frankfort, Michigan

Stopped in for lunch...smash burger ordered, spinach salad, and breakfast salad. Review on the breakfast salad was "always good"; charged for more dressing Review on the spinach salad was...small salad for the price, pitas could have been served as croutons, something imaginative, not just heaped on top of the salad...dwarfed the salad Review on smashed burger...it wasn't prepared as a smashed burger at all, no crispiness, no flavor, looked dead on the bun Our server saved the review from being a one star. Bathroom was clean, warm inside! read more

This is a treasure in Frankfort- we had the breakfast salad and the fish tacos. Yum! The extra added highlight was our wonderful server- Victor- a rock star with great recommendations. Make this a stop for sure. read more

Good food great service but small portions for the price. I'd recommend the chicken and waffles.

My husband and I stumbled across Birch & Maple on a trip to Crystal Mountain. We sat at the bar and split a couple of appetizers and had drinks. It was off season for the town, so we didn't have a wait which was great, but this place is well worth any wait we would've/could've experienced. The apps we ordered were phenomenal. The bartender was so helpful, attentive, and kind, the prices were very reasonable, the at restaurant was well decorated and nice. We are already looking forward to another trip up to celebrate our anniversary in the fall! read more

Breakfast was full of flavor. Amazing crispy eggs. The host needs to be friendlier. A little overpriced but worth it.

Food and Atmosphere reign supreme here at this chic style restaurant that is on the strip in Frankfort offering a high end dining experience. Staff was friendly, courteous and attentive. Quality of our dishes matched the price for the meal and you must order the bloody mary spicy it's a kick but also refreshing and tasty. Highly recommend if you've never been! read more

Worth the wait! Loved the drinks and the awesome brunch. Great ambience as well. And do yourself a favor... Get the chicken and waffles!

Good food. Victor, our server, was personable and gave us great recommendations. I had the fish tacos and my partner had the breakfast salad. Breakfast salad was a hit and I devoured the fish tacos. read more

Wonderful food, wonderful service, wonderful decor, wonderful experience. Best restaurant in Frankfort!!! They have breakfast, lunch and dinner so this place is good literally all the time. I live in metro Detroit and I'm planning a trip to Frankfort specifically for this restaurant, it's that good. You can't go wrong here! read more

Ever arrive so hungry that when brunch nirvana shows up, you plow right in verses snap a picture? The toffee bourbon syrup is the perfect base to chicken and waffles. If we were here for a few more days, I'd be back to try the breakfast salad or burrito. The service is really friendly. You leave feeling like a guest, not a cover. The musics great too! I'd pay them to create a fun soundtrack to follow me around for the day. Would have tried the cocktails, but we're heading out for a long bike ride. Next time for sure! read more

Had a great experience this weekend, all homemade fresh food , excellent service. Coming back in a few weeks for sure. Keep up the excellent work. read more

Birch & Maple - Monte Cristo sandwich w Crispy Egg - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Frankfort, Michigan

Good brunch spot in downtown Frankfurt. Hit it on the way out of town for a late brunch with some peeps. Pretty busy early so we did an online reservation in which you have to pay for your spot in case you decide to not show and they keep your deposit (which is the antithesis of business since they'd just steal your money). However they did get a 2 person add on to our party seated next to us quicker than the 45 minute wait time they claimed it would be (pretty empty by this time now). Seated pretty quickly and waitstaff was great! Helpful and thorough, answered every question our party of 8 had. We didn't wait long either to get food nor drink. They pride themselves on their Bloody Mary so we all tried one. Not that impressive. The $14 version came with really good crispy chicken and a boiled egg but overall, we didn't finish them. Zing Zang and Tito's is a much better mix than what they offered. Spice levels were great though. Had the boatman's breakfast, 2 eggs any style, choice of meat and toast and potatoes. Pretty standard. Nothing to rave about nor complain about. Bacon was a level up from normal which was good. Also tried their corn soup; not bad. Again it was fine not above anything else I've had. Good amount of food for the price and nice, quaint atmosphere across from the lake. Give it a shot but note, they close after brunch for dinner so be mindful of their hours. read more

Our first time at this restaurant- a lovely experience! First, our server complimented my daughter and granddaughter on how nicely they were dressed. A small menu, but a good variety of dishes. The portabello fries were delicious as was the stuffed burrata. I had the pasta purses, they needed seasoning but they were good. The ahi tuna was the favorite dish of the evening - so many flavors! Our server was excellent, always smiling, energetic, and informative. We will be back next year! read more

Birch & Maple - ENGLISH SALMON- Whipped Cream Cheese, English Muffin, Cold Smoked Salmon, Dipped Egg, Arugula, Served with Tomato Slices - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Frankfort, Michigan

Best breakfast in Benzie County. Quality ingredients here: eggs were very tasty, the house-made jam for the sourdough toast was delicious. Skillet potatoes were crispy and well seasoned. Service was good as well. And the atmosphere is nice as well. (For us tasty food is the most important quality and this place has that over Platte River Inn in Honor by miles) Best value for the money with what you get. Be aware that it gets busy here. It's worth it. read more

Excellent food. Top tier service. A little pricey, but would come back for a special occasion.

We love Birch and Maple. Amazing food supported by even better people! A must stop if you visit Benzie County.

Went for breakfast- had a reservation but didn't need it, the place was empty, and they still sat the two of us at the smallest table they had! I had been looking forward to trying the delicious pancakes that are the featured photo on their website. Guess what? They don't have pancakes on the menu. I asked the waitress and she said they don't do pancakes there because "the grill is too small". I am somehow able to make pancakes on a small grill pan at home, so that didn't ring true to me. I showed the waitress the photo on their website and she said she didn't know why that was there, since they have never had pancakes. We drank our coffee and left and got pancakes at A&W down the street. Definitely underwhelmed. The coffee was good though. read more

Classy place right near the water downtown. The Chicken and Waffles were very tasty. The breading was crunchy and the chicken itself had retained all the juicy goodness. Plus the toffee/maple syrup coating was excellent. The Meat Lovers Omelet was also a winning dish. They had some of the best cooked potatoes of any breakfast restaurant I've been to, ever. Most times they're burnt and your left with a dozen actual potatoes and a plate full of scraps. This was excellent, plus, definitely try the hot sauce. Highly recommend! read more

The halibut fresh catch on a rice cake was perfectly toasty and delicious! The server was friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere provided views of the bay, and the inside booths with the birch decor were trendy and pretty. read more

Amazing food and cocktails, Nick and his staff are top notch! I spend the summers in Frankfort and this is my go to place a couple times a week. I highly recommend Birch and Maple! I'll be making special trips during the off season to get my fix. read more

While we are at the family cottage on crystal lake it's a must for our family to go to Birch & Maple for a Bloody Mary with the chicken and egg with a side snoot of local beer along the kids having the chicken and waffles!! Great service great food!! It's a MUST!! read more

Always great. Everything is well prepared. We really like the dinners for two. Bloody Mary's and Portobello fries are high on our list as well. read more

Favorite spot up north! There weren't many options before birch & maple arrived! Love the Monte Cristo

The food was fresh and delicious.The service was friendly and fast. It was clean and cute! Would definitely go back!

Exceptional on every level from flavor profiles to variety to service to ambiance. Top notch!

This place may be great but if you want breakfast before 10 AM FORGET ABOUT IT . Also closed Tuesday & Wednesday?? Are they running a restaurant or what. read more

Great food. Great service. The porch seating is lovely. During the height of the summer the restaurant can be crowded and inside, quite loud. read more

Line was long, wait was short, waitresses was quick, informative and pleasant. Like that you can put your name on the yelp wait list. Maybe the wait seemed short as we conti used our craft show adventure across the street. Menu offered many sweet as well as savory options. I went with something unique and my wife went with her traditional omelette. Both were excellent. Atmosphere was bright and cheery. Would recommend! Thanks Kim! read more

The service was great even though it was super busy because of the race. Victor, our server, was excellent. He kept our drinks full and frequently checked to see if we needed anything. The food, breakfast salad and turkey club, were amazing. So worth the wait! read more

The food was excellent - we each had one of the specials - filet and walleye. The kale and cherry salad was delicious. I'd read great things about the server but either she was having an off day or her best service is reserved for people who order alcoholic drinks - our sodas and our waters were never refilled. The server didn't check to make sure the steak was cooked properly but the manager did. Bottom line is the service didn't match the quality of the food but the food made it worth the trip. read more

Another 5-star experience at one of our regular restaurant places. Nick was tending bar so I had a Manhattan and Rhonda Lynn had their "Dark and Stormy" signature cocktail (think Moscow Mule but with a premium dark rum). Both were terrific. It was so nice to have sweet Sarah serve us our delicious meals. We started out with the grilled brussel sprouts with parmigiana and spices. Rhonda had their famous kale and cherry salad with added Gorgonzola for her entree. Chef Natalie stopped by our table and helped me to choose her 8-hour Bolognase over a light pasta. It was like a dinner in Tuscany. Once again an outstanding dining experience overlooking Betsie Bay. Seasonal visitors are thinning out, so if you could not get a reservation during the peak summer season, you should be able to get in now. Bon Appetit!

Fun location right across from the bay. Food was fresh and tasted house made. All in really good. Would come again when in the area

We saw this on our way through Frankfort today and circled back for dinner. Couldn't be happier we did! Fantastic food, fantastic cocktails. We sat out front at the picnic tables. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The only food item that was just okay was the seasonal soup--a coconut curry for our visit. Other than that, we ordered Cocktails: - French 75 - Pear of Wolves (super awesome!) Food: - Portobello Fries - Swedge Salad - Seasonal Soup - Beef Tenderloin - Pumpkin Risotto - Chocolate Tort Skip the soup and this is a good, very filling split for two people over a couple hours. Worth your time! Get in there! read more
