    All the stars because our server, Michelle, was the friendliest, kindest server. She took the time to talk to us and comment on the kids. She made our kiddos Mickey and Minnie pancakes extra special and brought out sprinkles that they could decorate their pancakes with. I ordered the Cinnamon Swirl French Toast with cream cheese butter. It was tasty though somewhat basic. My "over-medium" eggs and bacon were both cooked perfectly. Left wishing we had a Michelle back in Texas!

    Better than last visit though there was a slight stench of something moist in the air. Not sure if sewer, but food was good. Server was on point for most part except when asking for take out containers; took a bit. Water guy didn't speak though he spoke to other tables. The female cashier didn't say anything until she swiped my debit card and asked if I wanted to leave a tip. No hi, no thank u which means last time patronizing this spot.

    We ordered the omelette and breakfast sandwich and enjoyed the breakfast sandwich the most. It was loaded with turkey bacon and cooked nicely. The omelette was alright while the potatoes carried the meal. The pancakes were too crispy on the outside and not just on the edges so it gave it a weird dry texture. We didn't finish those. But I'd return any day for a breakfast sandwich. It was also really hot inside the restaurant. Idk if it was bc it was early morning but it was almost unbearable.

    Great experience, great place and great food! Tyler was very friendly, very helpful and o ce again a great experience as this is our second time here.

    I had been attempting to visit Maple N Jams Cafe during the family's annual day after Thanksgiving brunch, but I'm glad I wait because we have a party of eight, this location doesn't take reservations, and there's definitely a 20-minute wait. The waitresses are super-friendly and knows the local return visitors.  The hubby had the buttermilk pancakes with a build your own omelette, a healthy side of hashbrowns and pancakes.  His omelette included chicken, chorizo, mushrooms and jalapenos.  I was a little adventurous and got the House Skillet and Stuffed Strawberry French Toast. Well maybe I was too adventurous because the french toast had an option of using glazed strawberries and usually that is too sticky and thick with cornstarch and I'm not a fan, but without it, the french toast is pretty dry.  That's okay, I took them home and used some authentic strawberry syrup which made this dish so much better.  The skillet had a great savory flavor too, the eggs were fluffy and the all the ingredients melded so well together!  This restaurant definitely has something going here! :-)

    The food was as amazing as other Yelpers have indicated. The ambience is great for breakfast or lunch and the service is awesome. In fact, the service is the reason for my 5 stars. The food came out cold and I had to send the potatoes back twice however, our server was on top of her game (Vickie)! My wife had the banana foster French toast. The description was correct when it described this as decadent. Me on the other hand, my breakfast was basic (personal choice) eggs, house potatoes and sausage. Hmmm, the sausage was better than normal and Vickie did not mislead me by recommending the sausage. You should not leave this place hungry because the portions are great! They have a wide variety of breakfast and lunch dishes to explore. This was a great breakfast before heading home! Merry Christmas!

We walked back out and found the door to the restaurant. Staff is warm and friendly and we were seated quickly. Our server was Robert and he was great! He gave his recommendations for which sides would go best with our meals and I felt they were spot on. They give complimentary bread and butter. It was warm and delicious. Hubby ordered the rib tips with fries, baked beans, and had the hot and mild barbecue sauce on the side. I ordered the 1/2 dark smoked chicken dinner with mac-n-cheese, spicy Cajun green beans, and spicy honey garlic barbecue sauce. I agree with Robert, that the sauce pairs very well with the chicken. The tips were tender and falling off the bone. He didn't care for the fries and loved the baked beans, even though they were a bit too spicy for him. My chicken was also very tender and I enjoyed the smokiness. The green beans had the right amount of spice although they were not as spicy as the baked beans. The mac-n-cheese was creamy.

Nothing is ever truly perfect, but these wings came close. The sauce was spot-on--easily some of the best I've had. The vegetables were cooked just right and packed with flavor, and the Cajun fries tied everything together perfectly. Overall, this spot delivers on both atmosphere and quality. Definitely worth checking out.

I felt the entire meal was just OK. The corned beef hash was crumbly and though I was told it was made in house, it didn't seem like it. The hash browns and eggs were cooked fine but lacked seasoning. The pancakes were too thick and even though I paid $3.50 more for blueberries, they were hard to find within the actual pancake. The majority of blueberries were placed on top or around the pancakes. My sister's banana foster French toast was the best thing I tasted, so kudos to the cook for that dish. Otherwise, everything else we felt was just average and the prices were above average. My son's strawberry lemonade was $6, and it was fountain lemonade with a strawberry puree syrup added to the glass.
