Maple N Jams is jammin' for sure. Jammin' those customers into a tiny busy space that is! As a repeat customer, most of the waitresses know me and greet me with familiarity, which is really nice in this anonymous world of ours. These days I expect to be ignored and moderately abused to get a meal out in the suburbs, but I've never felt like a burden or like I had to ratchet up my personality just to get some napkins. The napkins and water refills flow freely at MNJ! The food is solid and their cooks are more professional with casual plating than they need to be. They've managed to serve up excellent food cooked to order consistently enough that without question, when someone asks if I want to go to MNJ the answer is yessssss. I've tried a bunch of things and I haven't been disappointed, which is rare because I'm a real crabby pain before coffee. Plus, the portions are generous enough that I end up taking half home for a second meal, letting me relive the warm fuzzies in my warm fuzzy pajamas. Oh and the coffee is multi-cup good too. The only downside is that other people know about MNJ. The place is pretty well packed on week days and absolutely swarmed on the weekends. Their booths are more packed than....something that is tightly packed and not sardines because I'm tired of that metaphor and who eats sardines anymore anyway? Let's go with vacuum-packed tamales. As tight as tamales. Never mind... To their credit, the staff never makes you feel like you need to eat as fast as possible and get out, even with the tight quarters and crush of people waiting. So put on your eating pants and tip your waitstaff well, Maple N Jams is a winner. read more

Wow, you must've went in on a good day or I went on a day when the cook was made he had a job, I just didn't like it sorry can't win em all

Loved this little restaurant. Great breakfast. Was jam packed on a Saturday morning! Wonderful, friendly service.

Bit busy on the weekends, but they have a breakfast that can't be beat and the service is always excellent!

Not only is the food amazing our waitress Donna was beyond AMAZING. She truly was refreshing and so sweet. Anyone that dined out during the pandemic knows that customer service is becoming a rarity but Donna and her positive disposition ensured that we will be return customers. As long as she is employed here we will be patrons. Thank you for your excellent service. read more

Super good! We enjoy it every time! Would recommend to everyone looking for a quick well priced breakfast

I really wanted to give Maple N Jams Cafe 5 stars. Everyone is very nice here. I really like Helen and Michelle. Yolanda is very nice too. The decor is nice and the place has a good vibe. The food is good. I've tried both the breakfast and the lunch items. The reason I can't give Maple n Jams 5 stars is because the portions are a little light. I ordered an Omelette and it was good but there weren't enough ingredients to satisfy a hungry man. I'm skinny so I need to eat a lot and I don't like skimpy portions. There were not enough hash browns either. I also ordered a french toast and again there was not enough bread and it was thinly cut. I like a nice thick french toast. If you are on a diet this might not bother you but like I mentioned portions mean a lot to me. The coffee is too strong for me here and well over $2.00. No reason to charge that much for coffee. This is not downtown. read more

Stopped out hear for a quick breakfast with my son and everything was excellent. Great omelets and fantastic pancakes but more importantly the service was outstanding. Michelle took care of us and was super friendly and attentive. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

My first time coming here today and everything was great. I was able to use the online yelp tool to be added to the waitlist and I'm glad I did because there was about 3-4 groups waiting to be seated when we got there because it was so busy. We were seated immediately and the waitress came to our table really quickly and took our drink order. Right after that a woman came by to fill up our coffee mugs...the service was so quick it was nice to have prompt hospitality. As for the food, I ordered the eggs, bacon and potatoes combo with French toast, the fiancé ordered an omelette and my friend ordered the crepes. There was not a single complaint from any of us about the food or anything else. It was very delicious and this will probably be our go to breakfast spot from now on! The food was inexpensive but had quality that went above and beyond. Definitely will come here again read more

Found this gem on yelp.. we wanted a good breakfast before leaving and we were tired of our hotel breakfast.. I wish we could give more than 5 stars. I haven't had pancakes in over 2 years due to a gluten intolerance but I had them here.(gluten free) WOW. Everything was delicious! read more

Hi are u hiring at the moment been a waitress my entire life looking for part time my name is Cassie thanks

I've been wanting to eat here since I read the reviews. The restaurant is clean and cozy.. Michelle', our waitress was super friendly and helpful.. The food was delicious. I had the stuffed French toast with fresh strawberries and fresh whipped cream with a side of ham off the bone. I'm not sure what my son ordered, but it looked amazingly and he said it was sweet and savory. I only remember Miss Piggy was part of the description. We both brought home doggie bags, but not for the doggies. I look forward to my next visit to try more of the menu. My visit was Fantastic and delicious. Well done Maple and Jam! read more

I visited last week sometime. This restaurant is AMAZING! The staff is so so sweet and seem like they really care about their guests and their needs. The Host was very sweet and insisted I pick my own table. Michelle was my server and she was very pleasant, GREAT attitude, very nice and the service was very fast! Keep it up Michelle you are awesome!! The food? Omg also Amazing!!! Some of the best crepes I have ever had. The only thing about this visit was that I waited alittle long for a box and my check but other than that I will most definitely be returning to Maple and Jams forsure and will be making it a go to! 100% recommend this restaurant to anybody and everybody! read more

Inexpensive food. Portions are reasonable. Even during COVID, the wait was not long. The food is served in a timely manner. Parking is small and at times, there is no where to park read more

This place had good food and exceptional service. The host and waitress were super friendly and accommodating to my large party of 6. This is a small place, the prices are reasonable, and again the breakfast was good. I will definitely come back here again. read more

Never leave disappointed. Me, wife and kids frequently visit this establishment at least once a month. Prices are reasonable and service is great. At times it's busy and no seating so there can be a slight wait for a table to clear. Place isn't too big but isn't too small either. Food is real good. Now this is a mom & pop spot to support. read more

Staff is always pleasant and welcoming, very good find. Can't wait to come back. I recommend the .. you can't go wrong with that. It's amazing. read more

Eggs Benedict was delicious different styles. Parking is a little small but get there early.

Pancakes were good but food was bland! Needs some salt n pepper! Waitress very friendly but food not good enough for a return visit! IHOP is better read more

Food is delicious and servers and host are very nice! Been coming here for a year and every time we visit the food is great. I recommend making a reservation on Yelp 15 mins before arriving as the wait time usually is long. read more

From the time we arrived, my family and I were treated like royalty at Maple and Jams. The greeters met us with a smile and great assistance, esp since we were with our sassy senior mothers. Michelle our server was a true gem - Customer service beyond compare. The food was excellent, esp the blueberry pancakes. This place is a hidden gem which definitely wont last for long. We will absolutely be back read more

This place is awesome. It reminds us of a small (not really small) mom and pop diner/bistro, where you are warmly welcomed and treated like family. The hostess was accommodating and the waitress, Michelle, was knowledgeable of the menu and patient with our indecisveness. We asked for her recommendation and she did not under deliver. The service was quick, food GREAT and the environment, clean, friendly and inviting. Our experience was so wonderful, we didnt even think to try another breakfast spot during our 2 day visit; we returned the very next morning. We had the Mexi-Skillet and Supreme Burrito the first day... AWEMSOMSAUCE!!!!; then we returned and had the Chicago Skillet (OMG the gravy) and Banana Foster French Toast (w/ bacon and eggs) the next day. The bacon was meaty, not all shriveled and thin and eggs were fluffy. This place will be our first stop every time we return to Chicago. Ask for Michelle and tell her that her Atlanta friends sent you. Attached pics are of the 2nd day meals. read more

The cutest place ever. Great prices!!! Food is amazing. Get the fresh orange juice!! Amazing servers, ask for Michelle.

Stopped in after my sons basketball game at Kruger Park. We were not disappointed. Very welcoming place. Menu had lots of options. Our waitress, Michelle was amazing!!! Very attentive and warm. I had Greek omelet with buttermilk pancakes and a big cold cup of apple juice. My cousin had the country fried steak with fruit. Everything was great and I definitely will be back. Great place! read more

Was looking for a new Breakfast spot to try with my mom, this morning. Found Maple N Jams Cafe on Yelp and read great reviews and honestly I was not disappointed. Immediately upon our arrival we were greeted by the Host, who was extremely welcoming. We were approached by our Waitress, Donna. She is AMAZING, super bubbly. Donna made me feel like I was at home. We talked as if I have known her out of the restaurant. I ordered the House Omelette and my mom 2x2x2. Pancakes were so soft and basically melted in my mouth, Omelette was huge and so good! The food came out so fast, and coffee refills were constant. I can see other reviews about the rest of the waitresses and this is the exactly what every business needs to keep a great reputation. I will bring my family here on our next family gathering. **Note to the Owner/Manager(s), Fantastic job with your business and Staff! read more

Definitely recommend. Food is delicious and very fresh. I love the skillets and crepes with strawberries or with cinnamon apples.

Came here because Stacked had a 40 min wait on a Friday morning. Came in, got seated right away, which is always nice. Food was amazing! Menu had a lot of great options, definitely will be back to try more We had the florentine eggs Benedict and King Kong meets Miss Piggy French toast. Our waitress Tammy was sweet and attentive. I love great customer service. Definitely a place to try out. You won't be disappointed. read more

I was hesitant to try this place out. I can be a snob and it looked sketchy to me. I was wrong (again). We have been several times now and it's quickly turning into one of my favorite breakfast spots close to home. The coffee is good and they come around often. I love that they have an option for a short stack of French toast. I'm not a huge fan of the turkey sausage they have though. I really wish they had turkey bacon as an option. It would be 5 stars then. I love turkey bacon! I'm trying to get over there for lunch soon. They have a ton of options for lunch and it seems to be available all day. The service is great. The wait always goes fast on weekends and the servers are all very friendly. I have to say though that our favorite has been Michelle. She's excellent and I will probably wait for her from now on! read more

This restaurant is so goood that there is sooo many choices great pancakes and syrup greatest breakfast quality restaurant known.

This place blows. Well let me clarify, the food blows, service was decent and the place was clean but pricey. One of my close friends had been raving about it so I found myself out Burbank way one morning hankerin' for some breakfast. We walked in and the specials board had a crab benedict and pork chops as well as some other good sounding grub. The menu boasted an entire section of benedict products which happens to be my all time favorite breakfast food so I figured "why not? must be good if they have an entire menu section of benedicts, they can't possibly be using the hollandaise mix sauce I despise so much......". Well I was wrong!!!! That chicken boullion base dry mix sauce was just nasty and the english muffin and overcooked poached egg were nothing to write home about either. I could have let the bad benedict go as a true benedict lover knows ordering that at a new restaurant (unless it is a fancy hotel) is always a crap shoot and if you get bad benedict that's on you. My husband wanted a Feta cheese omelette and saw the pork chops listed on the board so he ordered the omelette and told the waitress he wanted the pork chops on the side. They would not serve the pork chops on the side nor would they substitute the omelette for the eggs in the pork chop special (even though I offered to pay more.) Well with all the hub bub about the chops he relented and got the "special" which was two pork chops and three eggs. The sunny side up eggs were cooked horribly (a lot of uncooked yolk phlegm) and the chops were a joke - they looked like tiny mcribs with out the bbq sauce! Small, boneless, dry and I swear the grill marks were fake. What kind of breakfast place won't let you craft your own order? read more

I'm sitting in this beautiful restaurant after eating an amazing and large breakfast of banana bread French Toast with a side of bacon and half an order of biscuits & gravy. I'm wondering why this place isn't packed. The did was awesome and the service was terrific. Definitely a must go place for breakfast. There was so much I wanted to try on the menu that I will be back for sure. read more
