WOW! First visit this evening. Maize is a small very intimate venue. The mode is prix fixe. There is an open view of the kitchen and the small but highly skilled culinary team. The dining area seats no more than 24 and is expertly managed by Carl. Things started with a delightful amuse buoche. Ours was a bite of bison brisket on an herbed crema. Then came a hot from the oven biscuit. The fish course was roasted grouper perfectly prepared and plated. Next up was sautéed shrimp on a vanilla sweet corn sauce with roasted okra. Then came seared rare slices of NY strip with broccoli rabe, scalloped potatoes, and steamed albino beans. A scoop of watermelon sorbet to cleanse the palette was followed by a desert of peach bread pudding with blueberry compote and crème freche. Mauser is a fine example of the difference between merely eating and fine dining. read more

Maize is a wonderful and special restaurant that is so worth seeking out. We visited for the first time on a Saturday evening in late March. Service was friendly, professional, and attentive. The dining room was warm and comfortable. And the food? We loved the succession of bites and plates. Everything was delicious and nicely presented. The chef and his team are focused on and really care about the details. In terms of the overall experience, Maize was at least as good as fancy, super-pricey Philly restaurants like Lark. We'll definitely be back! read more

We returned to Maize on October 10, 2025 for the early seating (530pm) four-course tasting again. It was another outstanding dining experience. The evening started perfectly with their signature homemade biscuit, followed by the chive popcorn. For the courses, we enjoyed a prawn, then a rich and tender beef cheek with Brussels sprouts, a beautifully cooked dayboat halibut, and finally duck. We ended on a sweet note with a refreshing sorbet and then a warm apple cake paired with homemade cinnamon ice cream. If you noticed, its more than 4 courses with a few kitchen additions! Every dish was delicious and expertly prepared. The Maize staff once again worked seamlessly in tandem, serving each course at just the right pace -- never rushed, never slow. We've probably dined here close to a dozen times over the years. Each visit has had exceptional food, courteous service, and a great vibe. From start to finish we spent 2 hours at Maize. Well worth the time & money! Highly recommend Maize for anyone who appreciates creative, well-executed food in a warm and inviting setting. We will be back!!! read more

Overall, just a really enjoyable and relaxing experience. I appreciate that the owner was able to find room for us to celebrate a birthday. Dakota was lovely and very helpful. All of the tasting menu dishes were good. In response to some of the reviews regarding the price, paying for the experience more so than the quantity of food. It is not an inexpensive experience but overall well done. read more

Absolutely exceptionally fabulous service. In this restaurant, you definitely make reservations and let them know you were food restrictions in advance. One of my friends couldn't eat red meat. So the restaurant accommodated her. You just sit and chat with your friends the chef surprises you with something wonderful that he made . It was fun and it was so exciting . It's like you kept being delivered a little precious nourishing gift ! For example, the soup was delivered in such an adorable pottery piece. Each piece of dishware was like art, and it was such a wonderfully cooked food item . So flavorful and so amazing. I loved everything so much. It's hard to pick a favorite! I'm gonna say that the salmon was so fantastic and one of the other items had kombucha pumpkin with some sort of maple sauce and it was so magnificent and delightful. It ended with a smile ... and a smiling chocolate chip cookie! I smiled the entire evening . I really enjoyed my time here and I look forward to coming back ! The ambience was so charming. read more

Delicious, fun, and creative food, and they accommodated my severe allergies with no issues! We had a great time!

We went here for our anniversary. I was unaware of the restaurant's size and concept. It is a smaller establishment which we enjoyed thoroughly. A nice personal romantic culinary experience. The food was delicious and creative. And the service was great. The whole experience was a wonderful time. We will definitely return. read more

The wine pairing was top notch- great courses and extremely well executed. This chef is no joke. Worth the drive to Perkasie.

This restaurant hands down is one of the most imaginative and culinarily superb meals I have had in a long time . Kudos to the team behind the glass wall that you get to watch prepare your meal in the small 2 seatings a night gem . Chef prepares a 4 course tasting menu that differs depending on local availability of ingredients . The meal started with a few amuse bouches that wet the appetite but the stars of the meal unfolded in the next 4 courses . Please check out these website to see previous tasting meals to capture a glimpse of their cooking . On the night we were there we had gorgeous shrimp and grits , perfectly cooked steak over a melange of vegs that were sautéed and some were purée to make a fantastic accompaniment to the rare meat . Desert was a polenta tea cake with lemon ice cream and whipping cream all sitting in a wonderful cream sauce . Ive simplified the menu but it was so much more nuanced with flavors and spices . I can't say loud enough that getting reservation to Maize is like getting a golden ticket . We were also very impressed with the waitstaff and their commitment to communicating the chefs vision. read more

The BEST meal! We did the 8 course option and not a single one disappointed. They even threw in some surprise extra courses so it really turned out to be 11ish courses. The chef even asked us if we were still hungry before the dessert came just to make sure we were satisfied! The level of service is just impeccable. The wait staff was awesome too. So attentive and informative about each course. The open kitchen concept is awesome; you can see how much work and dedication goes into each dish! We can't wait to come back. read more

Every course was creative and perfectly done, and the extra courses were a perfect complement to the "4 course menu" the chef presented. We also shared in the reservation that we were visiting to celebrate an anniversary and the staff presented us with an anniversary card signed by everyone, what a nice touch! read more

Took a friend to Maize to celebrate her birthday. It was pure perfection. This is a foodie's dream restaurant. Chef Matthew knows food and delivers. All fresh and all local. All made in house. The waitstaff loves to talk food and the meal with you. We started with an oxtail ravioli and it was amazing, it was served with local wild mushrooms that were foraged nearby. Next we had fresh swordfish, caught that morning. Cooked perfectly. Lastly we had warm gingerbread cake made with real ginger. So delicious for a holiday dessert. Service is always friendly and impeccable. read more

So delish here! If you've never done a tasting, this is the place to go! Our 3 course meal was mouthwatering and delicious! Farm to table ingredients with a Hell's Kitchen view. Staff were informative, helpful, accommodating and cheerful! We had the Buffalo ravioli, cod over lobster crème sauce and mussels. Our desserts were a rose Pinot noir sorbet and mixed other pieces. We will definitely be back for the larger tastings! Great experience, gluten free accommodations and small town feel! read more

Service was excellent. Chef took time to say hello and the waiter took time to explain each dish.

Great vibe and tasty food and cocktails! A fun place to meet friends for a night out.

We came in from South Lake Tahoe looking for a good local dining experience and hit the lottery. We couldn't believe the food at Maize in the small Pennsylvania town of Perkasie. I should have photographed each of the 4 courses because they were so beautiful and tasted divine! My husband and I haven't had an experience like this in a while!!! Delicious, great atmosphere and lovely vibe. We'll be back and highly recommend Maize! read more

Maize Restaurant - Peanut butter cake with chocolate ice cream, vanilla wafer, chocolate sauce, fresh berries and creme - New American Near Me - Perkasie, Pennsylvania

You haven't lived until you've experienced an 8 course tasting at Maize. Chef Matt is one of, if not the most, talented chefs I've ever met. To say you can taste the love in his food would be an understatement! I've visited Maize now countless times with my husband and numerous family and friends, and we can truly say this is one of our most favorite restaurants! Nothing else compares to the experience, from the fresh and local ingredients, to the friendly and attentive staff, to the most delicious and creative dishes. Our favorite part is not having to decide what to order since there isn't a menu, and the chef prepares creative dishes based on what's fresh and in-season/local. We've done the 3 course, 5 course and 8 course. All have been amazing but if you're not a picky eater the 8 course is the way to go! Chef Matt is also super accommodating to different allergies and preferences, and some of our pickiest of friends have been blown away! Chef Matt, thank you! It's so refreshing to find a restaurant that is not only delicious and unique, but one where we leave wondering why we waste our money elsewhere! You are truly talented and we cannot recommend Maize enough! read more

After hearing people rave about this restaurant, we decided to book a reservation sight unseen! We got lucky and we're able to book a table for two on a Friday night after a cancellation. The place is super small and quaint with a full view of the kitchen. Personally, we really appreciated this since it adds to the "farm to table" experience. The chef was right there cooking each dish. It's BYOB which is always a plus. The menu is fixed so if you have no food allergies, restrictions, and are a bit more adventurous it'll be right up your alley. Personally, I don't mind since sometimes choosing from the menu can be a daunting experience. Either way, you will not be disappointed! Each dish was carefully crafted and full of flavor. I highly recommend for a nice dinner! read more

From start for finish, a superb meal. Cozy atmosphere. The chef was able to accommodate our last minute request to do a 5 course tasting menu (3 courses are the norm. ) Flavors perfectly melded, portions perfect, and presentation beautiful. Can't say enough about the staff...so attentive to our needs. Truly a hidden gem. read more

Experience was amazing. Went to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. Be aware all food is made and prepared at the same time as your neighbor & time slot. Bring conversations & any drinks you enjoy. Food is super fresh and the food has many layers. Chef is so friendly and willing to engage with you. read more

Food was exceptional and wait staff friendly and attentive Loved the preset chef menu. Very creative and delicious read more

Food and experience are always the best, or at least an interesting dish even if it's not your taste. Staff is friendly and it's a special treat to come here. It does break the wallet so we reserve for very special occasions. Tasting menu consists of 8 small plate courses so you truly get to sample a whole bunch of fine cuisine dishes throughout a 2.5+ hour leisurely meal. In addition, there are biscuits to start the meal and an extra sweet dessert with your check. $9 for a decaf cappuccino is a little ridiculous, but you are paying for the experience and it was delicious. It's clear that the intention is to talk and not feel rushed but truly savor each small bite. Seems like they only host one seating per evening. Meals can take hours but you'll leave feeling like you just experienced something special. It can get loud, as it did for us last night, due to rude and obnoxious guests, since the place is small. It's not the restaurant's fault of course, but they could make more of an effort to let people know their voices are traveling and may be disturbing other patrons. It's BYOB which is a plus since you will easily drop $200 for two on their tasting menu. read more

Maize Restaurant - Dessert - chocolate ice cream, chocolate almond cake, two mousses, cream and berries. Yum! - New American Near Me - Perkasie, Pennsylvania

I don't even know where to start. We saw all the excellent reviews and enjoy tasting menus. We made our reservation and read that it will take 2-2 1/2 hours. We arrived and the place was packed and LOUD. I asked our server the different between the $50 and $70 tasting menu and she said the upgrade meats. She mentioned that people who upgraded had been getting blue crab and steak. I told her that's what we wanted!! We waited and waited and finally 35 mins after we were seated, we were finally given a biscuit and a very small tasting of popcorn to share. A party who had just arrived and sat down and received their popcorn and biscuits immediately. I was a little irritated but I didn't want to let it ruin our dinner. Another 30 mins later we had already finished our wine - we had already been there an hour. Our first course finally came. It was a crab salad with micro greens. Crab tasted fresh but the whole thing was very bland. Not much flavor. We are still very hungry at this point.. It took an hour from the crab salad before we got our 2nd course. The party who arrived 1/2 an hour after us had already had 5 plates brought to their table. I believe because they ordered from the menu they got all of their food very quickly. They were being catered to very attentively as we sat there... hungry... A table of 4 that was there before us got up and left after their first course because of how long it was taking. At this point we have been there 1hr 45 mins and we're just receiving our second course- blackened fluke. This was another bland dish. I couldn't wait for my steak. The restaurant finally quieted down and we were happy that we'd finally get our food. 20-25 mins later we see the waitress walked by with 2 steaks. She walked right past us and gave it to a different table. Then she arrived with our 3rd course. We got squab and figs. Are you freaking kidding me? We get pigeon?? What happened to this steak?? I'm hoping it's delicious but neither me or my fiancé liked it but we ate a few sliced pieces and continued on.. 4th course was a mini salad with beets, toast, blue cheese, and bread. This was actually very tasty and flavorful. We were asked if we wanted tea or coffee and we asked for coffee. 5th course was dessert- we enjoyed that as well. But still didn't receive any coffee. When I was on my last bite - the waiter told me he forgot about the coffee and brought it to our table. Didn't really feel like coffee after we had finished dessert. Our whole experience kept us there almost 3 hours and we ended up leaving hungry. They had overbooked themselves and made for a very bad first impression. When you have customers leaving because the food is taking too long you can't laugh it off and say "it's a 2 1/2 hour experience" when your served your 2nd course 2 hours later. Courses should be spaced out appropriately and if you're going to keep people waiting, make sure the food is excellent! At $70 a person for the "upgraded" meal it truly was not worth it. Again- very disappointed. read more

The only negative here is that it can become loud because of the small seating area, but it's easy to forget once you taste your meal. Each meal I've had here was cooked to perfection and once time I was actually served an actual honeycomb! Their menu changes due to season and what is available locally. Make a reservation you'll thank me later! read more

Hey, my wife and I have been going to maize since Matthew opened the restaurant years ago. This restaurant is truly unparalleled and there's nothing like it when it comes to food and service unless you're willing to head all the way in to Phildelphia. It's also BYOB so you're not going to be wasting a lot of money on the drinks. Every dish is made to order and all dietary restrictions are no problem. This is a great place to go for an anniversary celebration, a date or to treat yourself and loved ones. Remember to make a reservation because it does fill up and know that when you arrive your journey into culinary perfection will begin. read more

Always consistent and wonderful. Service is excellent, timed perfectly. Definitely recommend this place for a great meal. read more

To be honest, I have not eaten here - I live in Florida but, I called to inquire about gift certificates for my cousin who lives nearby. I looked at several options before choosing Maize, but the menu and reviews sealed the deal! The staff was polite and helpful while discussing my options over the phone. I was told they would mail the gift certificate out - but someone must have hand delivered it, because it was there the next morning! I am beyond thankful for the care and attention I was given by the staff... and a big THANK YOU to the person kind enough to deliver i UPDATE: My cousin and her husband used the gift certificate recently and read more

Awesome!! The food was beyond excellent!! We got the 3 course meal & it was plenty. It is a bit pricey, but you're paying for quality. It was our anniversary so I splurged a little. read more

We were one of only 2 couples in the restaurant that evening. The "experience" begins before you arrive, as we were contacted by the restaurant the afternoon of our dinner reservation. They inquired if there were any food allergies in our party and if there were any particular dislikes or aversions. In our case there were none, and I happily informed them we are both adventurous in our tastes and looking forward to a memorable experience! They did not disappoint! The food and service were impeccable, as 4 people prepared each course and together painstakingly plated each. The course was then brought to our table and "presented" to us by our server Don, who explained each dish and happily answered any questions. Each of the 8 courses were uniquely prepared, unusual, and delicious. Being a "tasting menu", each individual dish is small, but we were pleasantly full when finished. Not inexpensive by anyone's standards, this was a truly enjoyable experience that I would certainly recommend to any "foodie" for a special occasion. read more

The food is amazing, from the presentation to the taste. Each course compliments the next. It was a real dining experience! No question about going back! read more

Absolutely amazing food. This is basically a Michelin star restaurant in little old Perkasie!

Maize is just amazing. We did the three course and I fully expected small courses and maybe even a little hungry when we left but no, portions are adequate and just damm delicious. We will be back! read more

Party of 6. Meal consisted of a biscuit, small cup of popcorn, tiny serving of swordfish, small serving of duck which was rubbery and not edible, a small cranberry cake dessert. The meal is extremely overpriced. $75 a person. Paid $190 for my wife and me with tax and tip. portions are bitesize and are lost on the plate. The meal was not worth half that price. Expected a better experience. read more

Food was great. Amazing. And, the wait staff were very friendly and courteous. Portions were much smaller than I'd expected given what you pay to experience this place. And, it is an experience. The flavors were incredible. read more

Amazing experience! For those of you who are in Bucks County or close, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a culinary experience that will still be dancing in your mouth days later. read more

Did a beer tasting. Ate things I would have normally not have ordered. The food was excellent. I will be returning.

Small, delicious and personal service. Always a treat snd the menus are interesting.

Excellent fine dining in a cozy space at a reasonable price....and BYOB. Decent portions- if you order the chefs tasting you will leave stuffed. Reservations a must (generally 2 seatings - 5pm and 8pm) This was our second time at Maize, and it was almost as good as the first time (to be fair, last time our reservation was delayed by an hour due to a table from the first seating refusing to leave....which ended up in a few extra courses from the kitchen to make up for it once we were finally seated, no complaints about that!). We have only ever done the 5 course chef's tasting, because at $50 why wouldn't you? The kitchen will accommodate any allergies or food preferences- for example asked if we were ok with meat/fish served rare/seared. Here's the rundown, though the menu changes based on local ingredients and the chef's discretion: Seasoned popcorn to start (it's called Maize after all) Buttery, steaming hot, fluffy biscuits served with honeycomb 1st course: crab cake with seafood risotto and shellfish sauce. OMG. Favorite dish of the night, best crab cake I've ever eaten. 2nd course: seared tuna with fingerling potatoes, green beans, pesto, kalamata olive. Interesting flavor, nice mix of textures with a vinegar zing, reminded me of German potato salad...topped with perfectly cooked tuna. 3rd course: teres major with celery root puree. I have yet to have a fish/meat not cooked to perfection at Maize, and this was no exception. We all enjoyed the puree...the taste was something new and it was silky smooth, something different for most of us. 4th course: pear salad with aged blue cheese and candied walnut. Good, but kind of a let down after the 3 warm courses....wish this was 1st course instead. 5th course: warm hazelnut cake with ice cream and pistacio. Also warm mini cookies were served with the check. read more
