This was so good!! Very cute and tasty brunch spot. They had a great selection of breakfast items and lunch options. Almost too many, literally everything on the menu sounds tasty. My OG eggs Benedict was 10/10. I love that they let me substitute the English muffin with gluten free toast. Even better-the fresh fruit was berries, yum!! The ham was thick cut and the hollandaise was rich. The mimosa flight was a great pairing. They were very sweet and a decent size for $21. The Bloody Mary was also great- perfect spice level and thickness. The service was fast and friendly. We were sat right away. They also have a huge parking lot which is great.

Harvest skillet

My first visit here was on Mother's Day this year! My daughter lives in Champaign and I came to visit and she was set on taking me here for Mother's Day brunch! She was raving about how good the food was and I said ok ok it can't be THAT amazing... she was right! This establishment doesn't take reservations, they do a waiting list. And when we woke up my daughter put us on the list and we were 189th!!! I said welp- we may need to have a back up plan because we're never gonna get in! But sure enough by the time we got dressed and ready and arrived, it worked out seamlessly and we walked straight in and to our table! I don't recall ever witnessing such a highly efficient, AND friendly team at a restaurant in my life. I was truly amazed that we made our way thru the waitlist, and despite it being an extremely busy day on a holiday, it was not at all chaotic. They had a system, and everyone knew their assignments! We were seated in a nice sunny booth for our meal. A server who wasn't even our main server came over to say hello and wish me a happy Mother's Day and offered to take our picture!! So sweet!!! Now to the food!!! Oh my goodness. I literally have not stopped thinking about this veggie skillet since Mother's Day!!!! The combinations!!! So they had sweet potato tater tots, mushrooms, spinach, eggs, pumpkin seeds, feta and dried cranberries!!!! A party in my mouth!!!! That combination was SO delicious!! Major kudos to the chef who put that on the menu! My daughter had the Tuscan omelette which had chicken sausage, spinach, sun dried tomatoes, & feta cheese. She said hers was amazing too!! Outstanding meal! I live in Evanston, IL and I'm telling you this brunch was so good I'm planning a trip back to go visit this place again!!! So yummy! And the staff was handing out single roses to all the moms on Mother's Day! How sweet was that!! And how thoughtful of them even on a CRAZY busy day!! Shouts out to the entire team there! Yall are doing a wonderful job! Keep it up!!

Food was fantastic nice warm and flavorful. The waitress was kind and polite. It was very busy wait was about 1 to 1.5 long worth the wait

Breakfast sandwich
Kamryn A.

Was not expecting such a great meal here! Maple and yolk is new to Urbana and this breakfast place was much needed! Prior to this, there hasn't been a good go to place to meet friends or family for breakfast and maple and yolk now checks that box. We absolutely loved the cinnamon roll (which was massive) and I really enjoyed the veggie skillet. Breakfast sandwich was a hit too. Service was quick and we only waited about 15-20 min for a table-- quick turnarounds here. Cute inside and great little spot for brunch.

Wheat toast that came with my iron man breakfast   Yum

First time at Maple & Yolk. We were greeted with a smile and seated immediately. The chairs are very comfortable as is the bench seats. We ordered the chicken & waffles and a veggie omelet with bacon. The chicken & waffles were very good. The syrup included had a nice spice to it. The chicken was very crispy and the waffles were crispy in the outside and soft on the inside. The veggie omelet with bacon was delicious! It was packed with veggies. The pancakes were very good, nice and fluffy. The service was very friendly and checked up on us several times.

OG Benedict's, skillet and some traditional 2-eggs with sausage.

Yummy food! Service is warm and portion size is generous! Love the house potatoes- very flavorful and well cooked. Will be back!

Corned beef hash with pancakes
Theodore P.

Quite literally the best breakfast place in the CU area. Though a bit expensive, you get what you pay for. The portion sizes are huge. Both the corned beef hash and steak and eggs are fantastic. Staff are friendly and the remodeled restaurant looks very homey.

Mimosa flight
Alanie N.

I have so many amazing things to say about this place, first off this is exactly the type of brunch spot Champaign has been NEEDING! The inside is so cute and honestly because of the waitlist the wait wasn't bad at all! But if you don't add yourself to if before you get there I would expect to wait a little. Next is the menu, when I tell you I could have looked at this menu all day, there were so many amazing options I seriously had a hard time choosing! I ended up deciding on the corned beef skillet and pancakes, the pancakes were hands down the best pancakes I've ever had... in my life lol. I will say the corned beef wasn't super well seasoned, but I feel like that dish wasn't for me. Now my husbands chilaquiles has AMAZING, like the best breakfast ive had in a very long time, and the mimosa flight? Wooo were they strong lol so many fun options to choose from! I can't wait to go back and try something new! But this is 100% a MUST try for visitors and locals both!

Red Velvet French Toast
Rudy C.

Food = amazing, lots of options, delicious. Service = accurate, friendly, prompt, attentive. Ambiance = clean, modern design. Passing through the on our way home, we wanted to stop for breakfast before hitting the road and this place is very close to the hotel. Love that they have a Bloody Mary option. So happy that we were able to get right in with our 8 person group. The menu offers ample options. I ordered the shareable cinnamon roll which did not disappoint. Also had the elevated breakfast sandwich that hit the spot. My daughter had the red velvet pancakes (pictured) and liked them. They are a work of art. We have this placed bookmarked to stop at next time we're passing through. My guess is that it's no secret that it's delicious though.

Mimosa and water... gotta stay hydrated!

I was looking for a place to have breakfast with my family while we stayed in the area overnight a couple of weekends ago and Maple & Yolk popped up with rave reviews. Then, I discovered that they were part of the same restaurant group as one of my hometown favorites, Mornings Breakfast and Brunch, so we had to give them a try. As we pulled into the parking lot between 8 and 9am on that Sunday morning, the place appeared to be jam- packed! I hopped on the website to see if there was a waitlist that I could add us to, but it said that there was no wait for a group of 4. We did notice, however, that larger groups did have to wait. We were immediately sat in a booth in the furthest corner of what I believe was their main dining room. I noticed another dining area off to the right of the host stand that may have been for larger groups, or just overflow seating. It also appeared to be full to capacity. I really liked the sleek, minimalistic, bright and airy decor, but the massive Sunday morning crowd made the lovely, upscale diner feel and sound more like a cafeteria. I wonder if the type of noise-canceling technology used in call centers would help with that?! Our server was very bubbly (like the mimosa that I ordered), and respectful. That's very important to me, as we were dining with my in-laws. She worked her way around the table taking our orders... ladies first, starting with my MIL, followed with me, then she moved to my FIL, finally ending with my husband. I liked that! She was amazing and made sure that we were taken care of. Coffee all-around, except for me, so there was a carafe and bowl of creamers left on the table. The omelet and yogurt bowl entrees were HUGE servings. The breakfast platters containing eggs, meat, and sides were reasonably portioned. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals...I just couldn't finish mine! Part-way through our meals, a family that had been seated a few booths down from us got up and stood nearby. The air vent over their table had condensation dripping off of it. A member of staff used a Swiffer-like apparatus to remedy the issue. Soon enough, I saw them moving about the dining area addressing other vents with the same issue. That's when I looked up. There was one directly above us as well, but luckily it never dripped. If we're ever in the area again, we'll return, but hopefully it won't be as loud and over-stimulating.

Once again in the University of Illinois C/U area. Everything pretty much still closed before school session begins. Set up a breakfast session at Maple & Yolk! Talia was our "Wrangler" We got in and our reservation was registering. Jokingly I thanked them for the ocean view. There "A" Game was in full gear. Ladies Ordered a round of Hot Chocolate Peppermint Cup & I went with a prosecco. There cheese curds are the bomb, WI should be proud. My crew ordered the Red Velvet French Toast, Bavon & sausages , I went, this time with Eggs Benedict with their Hash Browns. The portions are always huge! We all had to get "doggy bags". Talia was such a joy. They must hire positive people lovers! Looking forward to returning, zinnias si could say C/U best kept secret, but everyone knows this is the spot! Many Cheers & Mangia Baby!

Chicken and waffles.
Melissa J.

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile but never have time for the wait. Today we reserved early and it was totally worth the wait time. The food is amazing. The atmosphere is amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly. Also did I say the food was out of this world. We will definitely be back.

I found Black Dog to be really good barbecue. The brisket was perfect. I like the sauce choices…read moretoo. I had the Chicago Hot and a monthly special called Kansas City Firecracker. Both were hot and sweet, my favorite type of sauce. The red cabbage coleslaw was delicious and plentiful. The green beans and tomatoes were awesome. I wish they had greens too , but no. I also tried the polish sausage because somebody on Yelp said it was secretly the best thing on the menu. It was very good, but I'd say the brisket was better. Lots of nice craft beers available - some local. The service was nice and friendly. Nicole was my bartender/server. I enjoyed hearing about her favorite menu items. As you'll see from my receipt, everything has an itemized cost, so the place is a little pricey. But still worth it to me.

Black Dog Smoke & Ale House was a solid BBQ stop while staying in this college town. We came on a…read moreSunday night and it surprisingly wasn't very busy, although there was still a wait if you wanted outdoor seating. A few menu items were already sold out, but the smoky BBQ smell hit us from almost a block away, which definitely built the anticipation. I ordered the burnt ends sandwich without the bun. The flavor was really good and smoky, but the portions felt a little small overall. The coleslaw came in a small sauce cup, which was disappointing. The green beans had great flavor, and the twice baked potato casserole was tasty too, just smaller than expected. Service was friendly and the food came out really fast, so it seemed like everything was prepped and ready to go. Overall, good BBQ flavor and worth checking out if you're in town, especially if you love smoky meats -- just don't expect huge portions. Plus you had to pay for extra sauce and didn't have an option to try the different flavors, which was a bummer.

I am here for Ebertfest and it has now taken over an hour to get drinks, food, and dessert. I am trying to flag down my server because I was worried about the amount of time it was taking. She apologized and took off the dessert, but she seemed to be the only one working. I was near the back so I got to see all the other servers "yucking" it up and just standing around while this poor lady was doing laps. I am from the service industry and only 40 so I'm not being a Karen. This server deserves a huge raise and probably a better job. Pair that with them cutting down the menu, this place went to a "must see" in Champaign to a maybe. What I ate was tasty, but the rest of Champaign has caught up and starting to leave them behind.
