    I always return for their excellent service and famous pigs in a blanket. Drinks are cute and also tasty. Consistent breakfast spot. Only plate I wouldn't get again was the chilaquiles. It was a bit too citrusy for my preference and the plate felt too mixed up. Would probably be better plated differently and not all mixed.

    Great maple French toast
    Irena T.

    HUGE portion of French toast. Get it with the bacon, you won't be disappointed by the sweet and savory combo. An order comes with four ginormous logs, I'd recommend splitting it with your group. Don't forget to top it with some of their maple syrup.

    Two Classic Egg (2) Breakfast
    Audra H.

    I had a great experience here at great maple. My friend and I sat outside and enjoyed a really private breakfast for most of the time. Service was fast and courteous! I got a simple two weed breakfast with sausage and it didn't disappoint! Everything was perfectly done and tasted great. I was happy the eggs were done over hard as requested. The chicken sausage were also very tasty!

    Eggs Benedict and maple bacon doughnuts
    Miranda C.

    One of my favorite breakfast spots. The only downside is the parking. It's pretty difficult on the weekend especially if you come during the farmers market. I got the eggs Benedict and we shared the maple bacon doughnut balls which were incredible. Highly recommend. Definitely get a few things and share here. Everything I've ever gotten has been delicious. The servers seem quite busy all the time so sometimes hard to flag someone down.

    Silver Dollar Pancakes- Peanut Butter with fried banana
    Blenthony M.

    We came here for a Sunday brunch to finalize our girls' weekend. We were a party of 5 and got seated within 20 minutes of arrival. Parking is horrible so be prepared to park in the neighborhood and walk. This is a leisurely place to dine. Despite having quite a bit of servers, it took awhile for food to come out as well as water refills. We were in the middle of the patio area so there were always servers walking by but just not attentive to our table. The pancakes were not the greatest. It was just a dollop of peanut butter on top with a fried banana. Those did not taste the greatest. Everything else we ordered was pretty good. We would go back for the food but definitely plan on it not being a quick spot to grab a bite.

    Let's just say I know why the French Toast Logs put them on the Michelin Guide because holy crap they are good! Great Maple is a small busy diner in Hillcrest serving up amazing brunch food. They do sweet and savory well. It is a must try!

    Brisket Hash
    Justin M.

    Great Maple is an iconic San Diego staple and a non-negotiable visit every time I'm in town! Their night dinner service is incredible--the smoked brisket is unbelievable, so delicate to the touch that it literally melts in your mouth. Between the huge portions, beautiful patio aesthetics, and a staff that works like a well-oiled machine in walkable Hillcrest, it's a total 5/5. Pro-tip: Book a reservation ahead of time to secure a table, though you can sometimes slide in early on weekend mornings!

    The maple bacon donuts
    Kayla M.

    1M/10 Teleport, don't walk Truly the best food my boyfriend and I have ever had. I'm also a breakfast/brunch enthusiast so I was in heaven. We went for breakfast on my boyfriend's birthday and it was the highlight of our day so unfortunately nothing else compared the rest of the day The donuts came out first and made us speechless! The crust perfectly protects the light and fluffy inside and holds the maple icing beautifully! The bacon is crunchy and crispy and the perfect complimentary salty crunch to the soft warm dough. It's a unique mouth feel and you want to eat all 3. I recommend ordering them last The caramelized brie and braised duck skillet hash was so unique and delicious, we had never had something like that before. The meat was juicy and melted in your mouth with the brie and soft scrambled eggs. The bread was toasted a crisp golden brown and was the perfect vehicle for the hash. They came with a side which wow THE CRISPY POTATOES OMG they were one of our favorite bites. So herbaceous and topped with coarse flakey salt for a tasty balanced bite. By time we got to the french toast logs I was ready to tap out, but boy momma didn't raise no quitter and my man knows that applies to him as well so we did what we had to do. They're extremely dense, thick, and very filling so I would split with at least one other person. I slathered them bad larry's in whatever magical whipped butter they gave us and got to work. I had to be pried away from the plate and table and airlifted home because of how full I was, but I couldn't stop eating it. We had leftovers and they heated up decently, as well as the donuts! Neither got soggy from refrigeration or microwaving, so that was impressive!

    Very cool place for brunch! Great food! Must try the maple bacon donuts! Staff were friendly and calm even though the restaurant was busy. We went on a Monday and it was packed! Can't even imagine what this place is like on the weekends! Fresh ingredients, and food came out pretty quickly. Finding parking can be a challenge especially with the surrounding community under construction but if you pack your patience to find parking the food here will be the reward! Restaurant was bright and simple deco but seemed a bit cramped. We were seated fairly close to the kitchen area but also next to the main walking aisle. Sitting somewhere different may have provided a different feel. Would definitely try this place again!

    Vegan Hash
    Niki P.

    A cool brunch/lunch spot! Parking can be a little tricky, so I'd recommend carpooling if you're going with a bigger group. We went on a weekday and didn't have to wait, but I'm not sure how busy weekends get. The service was friendly and the food came out quickly. The vegan hash had amazing flavor -- I especially loved the sweet potatoes and mushrooms. The maple bacon donuts were good too, but definitely very rich. I couldn't finish one myself, so I'd recommend sharing them with a few people. Overall, the food was really good. A little pricey, but honestly what isn't these days?

    Pancakes, eggs, bacon
    Sonya P.

    This was nice brunch surprise that was really tasty!! We were seated outside, where the San Diego weather was really nice! Our server was attentive and brunch was spot on!! So good here!! I have NEVER had bacon on a donut before, so this was a first and as a signature choice here, it was surprisingly DELISH!! Everything was cooked to perfection. This was my first time having poached eggs and let me tell you, I AM A FAN now!!! I def recommend checking this spot out when in San Diego!!

    Luigi C.

    We got lucky with parking this morning just before 9am. They seated us right away since we there were only two of us. The service was exceptional and one point during Sunday brunch . The portions were ginormous and I could complain about the 25-30$ price tag on most of the menu items. Everything tasted delicious and my wife loved the ginger lime mimosa

    Lavender lemonade

    A simple easy breakfast! Fried eggs, sourdough toast and to die for potatoes! Everything was delicious! The service was good. The lavender lemonade is my absolute fav!!everything here is fab

There's a covered front patio, a bar with countertop seating and several high-top tables inside, and then a back patio. I recently came for breakfast as they open at 9 am daily which is not that common for a bar and grill. Paper menus used to be available, however like many eateries, they have moved to a QR code provided at each table to scan and view the online version. Breakfast fare was served until 2 pm. What caught my attention was the Shrimp and Cheddar Grits ($17). The dish consisted of two eggs any style, chili-rub shrimp, diced bacon, and tomato in a bed of cheddar laced grits. I asked for the eggs to be scrambled. The bowl came with a decent serving of the above contents. I liked the addition of the bacon and tomato that gave a salty and acidic flavor profile, respectively. The disappointment was only three medium sized shrimp were included. I had expected double that number because shrimp was the first word in the name of the item so it should have been featured more. The service from the waitress was pleasant. I gave a 3.5 rating for this visit to Working Class.
