Maples has made up for it multiple times over. In addition, Maples offers breakfast all day long which is rare and hits the spot when you're in the mood for comfort food of the AM variety around dinner time. Thank you very much to the chef, and all of the Maples team. Your professionalism, cleanliness and menu variety are greatly appreciated. Whether you're just passing through the state, looking for a good place to grab a bite, you won't regret going to Maples Family Restaurant. Kind regards and God bless.

It's been a long time since I've walked into this diner. That being said, this did used to be a…read morehaunt my mom and I would go to sometimes for breakfast. I went alone today because I needed to pick a place for breakfast and get some sustenance in my body because I know I'm gonna need it. I'm working a side quest later today and I had time before my train came. There's not much to this diner, but it does kind of have an old-timey feel to it which is not at all a bad thing in this case. The lighting gives off a vibe that this place might have been more posh in a time long ago. But I think what really factors into my rating today is the customer service because all the employees I came across today here were super chill and nice. One of them took the time to notice I was wearing a fundraiser shirt and we talked a little bit about Tom Petty which was nice. One bit that might make you readers chuckle is that my waitress asked out of the blue if I vlog. I said no and she remarked I looked like I would be good at it. I smiled at that because little did they know I write reviews here on Yelp and I was not about to let them know that. On top of all that, service was very quick. In fact, it was quick enough to make me think twice about paying another visit to Spirit Cafe in the future. I was greeted immediately (I decided on a bar seat since I was by myself), they got my food out real quick, I got my coffee almost right after I ordered, and they even took care to bring out the syrup in advance with my coffee. Also, prices are very reasonable. For what I had today, my price was $12.29, which for 2026 is pretty good when you consider that breakfast was a full stack of french toast with a side of bacon. There is a $10 credit card minimum, but since I had a food order this time around I didn't mind that as much this time around. As for the food, coffee was good. I was given the full stack, sliced in half with butter to spread around, and 3 strips of bacon. And before any weirdos decide to judge me, yes I do put syrup on my bacon. Might as well since I'm having something such as french toast. The bacon was crispy and seasoned well. Where I do have a slight criticism for was the french toast. I usually do not like to see the egg whenever I am served this breakfast, and I was able to see the egg used in this order. It was also a little on the soggy side, but not too bad. It was an overall satisfying breakfast that will help tie me over to lunch and/or dinner. Honestly, even though my rating here is a 4, it really should be a 4.5 and that is what I would actually give it if half-stars were a thing. The customer service was excellent enough that you can't really go wrong with either rating here. I will gladly return another chance I get.

Interesting list of specials by the entrance. The affable and efficient Karen was my server. I opted for Mary's omelet (when in Rome...). 3 eggs, with tomato, spinach, and feta; w home fries and rye toast. Coffee came quickly. As I do in many diners, I asked Karen if she could get me a ballpark figure of how many dozen eggs they go through in a typical week. She came back quickly. Converting to eggs, Mary's goes through approx 4,320 eggs / wk. Wow!!! The hens are thinking of unionizing and the roosters, although they won't admit it, are exhausted. Back to the food. The omelet was eggggcellent. Just the right amount of feta, which popped w each bite. HFs lightly spiced. Service (Karen) was excellent, as was food and value. Recommended. 4.5 stars

Yesterday was a very big day, and I have several reviews to catch up on. To start it off, let's…read moretake a trip to Mary's Diner for breakfast and see what this diner is all about. This was the only business I visited yesterday that was in the state of Connecticut. This is because this is where I wanted to have some breakfast before I caught the 8:45 am train to go to New York City, so I made my way here around 6 and got there maybe about half an hour after I started walking. There was a regular who got there less than a minute before I did. When I got there, we were actually the only two customers in the diner, so I decided to take my seat in the same stretch of the bar area as him, about three seats away. This is important to note because this gave me the chance to actually meet the owner, and I liked this because it gave me an introduction to what the owner's life is like, both in and out of the business. Later on in my visit we as well as that regular talked about New York City and Metro-North transportation policies which was pretty cool. And yes, Mary is quite friendly. Finally, regulars here get treated like family, so I can definitely see family becoming friends and friends becoming family in this diner. The interior of the place has a very elegant look to it. While Waterbury itself may be one of the least safe cities in this state to live in, you have to admit that Waterbury is not shy about having business that at least have the look of being on the fancier side of things. There's a patio that gives it outdoor seating as well as an atrium that overlooks that outdoor seating if you prefer to eat away from the dining area. The pictures on the way provide a window into not only Waterbury's past, but also some landmarks else in the world like the Eiffel Tower. My order was pretty simple. I did the Belgian Waffle with a side of bacon as well as two cups of coffee. I did also get to see what the other guy ordered (he didn't really need to say much about what they wanted because he'd been coming here a long time). If my taste buds were different then I could see myself ordering something to what he did because the presentation looked nice enough. This was some oatmeal with blueberries on top, a few hard-boiled eggs, and toasted English muffin. What can I say? You eat with your eyes first. Going back to my order, I put some syrup on my waffle and bacon. and ate away. It was a fluffy waffle, very easy to cut with a knife so that I can eat. It's an overall good, filling breakfast that would have no problem tying me over to when I get lunch once I got to Brooklyn. The coffee was good as well. The price wasn't bad either. I was charged about $18 for what I got which is about on par with other diners in this state I've been to not named Elm Street Diner. Honestly, rating this diner is a tricky because it could go either way between a 4 or a 5. I did round the last diner I had this conundrum with down to a 4, so this time I decided to do the opposite and round this up to the full 5. This is a very good diner that I think those passing by in Waterbury should definitely try out.

So sweet to us and understanding we had just ate, professional and recommended dishes for our next visit, other great places, just one of the best servers we have had recently. The restaurant offers indoor seating, has a lovely bar area, I saw two tables that looked perfect for a wintery romantic dinner by the fireplace (electric I think). But it's the outdoor dining on the water that's truly special. I asked Katie about the beautiful flowers everywhere and she explained the owners wife handles them all. Talk about a green thumb!! Amazing. Idk why the low rating on yelp but I wanted to give five stars for service, ambience, and cleanliness but couldn't because we didn't eat so tomorrow I hope to add to this review with our food experience. Go with complete confidence. Unfortunately Katie is going back to teaching kiddos soon but just go.
