Confused when we walked in, empty place but felt like we weren't super welcomed. Told us to have a seat wherever we'd like. Didn't know it was self service, sat down for a while before we went to grab our menus. Food was good, not worth the wait and sticky tables though. read more

Ordered delivery yesterday... they forgot to hand the driver my drink and this was my squawking goat. It left me squawking alright. . . C'mon guy's!! Where's the quality control?? Definitely not worth the price. Boo on you. read more

Food was incredible. They moved the line quickly on a FL game day, were super friendly to me (even though I'm wearing my UT Volunteer colors:), great atmosphere to pull open. my laptop and get some work done. The manager on duty was particularly helpful. read more

This will sound weird. But this was a poor experience but the food was great. We waited nearly 70 minutes for food. After all that wait our food came out one order short. Fortunately my wife and I ordered the same thing so we split it. The missing order came out about 15 minutes later. Most of the coffee containers were empty or close to empty. Ended up having to mix two coffees to get a full cup. My son waited 45 minutes just to get his drink. Table is sticky and gross. No one cleaning the tables. My wife and I had the steak tacos and they were delicious! Our son had one each of the signature tacos and they were also very good. Not sure what happened, perhaps they are short staffed today. If you come here choose carefully. Perhaps ask people how long they have been waiting for the food. In our case, the food was great but not worth the wait and the sticky gross table. read more

I hadn't been again since a few years ago and went again last week -- it was excellent. I got the Retro breakfast and everything was delicious. The scrambled eggs perfect -- not dry or wet -- the biscuit and berry jam top notch, the smoky thick bacon perfectly cooked and the best ever, and the unique hash brown version (smashed potato with green onion I think) had a crispy brown exterior all over -- again perfect. I'll be back. read more

We went to see what all the hype was about this establishment. Service was not up to par. Food came out very slow and cold. read more

I had the "Retro Plate" and a cup of coffee. Food was ok and service was relatively quick. I just wish someone would wipe tables clean, and sweep the floors a bit. read more

Terrible. We ordered and paid over one hour ago and still waiting for food. I could have gone to a sit-down restaurant and been in and out already. You should tell people there's a one-hour wait for food when they order, so they can make the choice whether to order or not. The only nice thing was the person who took our order. read more

Food took forever to come up. When it did it was cold and the order was wrong. Specifically requested something be left off a dish but of course it was included. Between being cold and added unwanted ingredient rendered it inedible. Then they proceeded to tell me I didn't order two of the items we were waiting on. Won't come back. read more

I've been here a few years ago and remembered enjoying the food, so I came back today while I was visiting town and sadly it was not a good experience. When we arrived around 11am, there were a fair number of people there but it was definitely not full. We waited in line about 10-15 minutes to order and then went to sit at a table to wait for our food. Luckily, I was sitting close to the counter so I could just barely hear them reading out the orders, but I don't know how anyone sitting farther away would have possibly heard it (perhaps a speaker system would help). Also, I'm not sure how I feel about replacing name or order numbers with answers to a question. Like sure asking people what they wouldn't want to run into in a forest is an interesting idea, but when they have 8 orders where someone chose "Bear," maybe they should realize this isn't the best system. I can imagine people forgetting how they answered, but they wouldn't forget their own name or a number on a receipt. Anyways, after about 30 minutes of sitting and waiting they finally called our order. When I went up, I was expecting to get our food, but instead they told me that the steak was not available anymore so they asked if I would mind if they replaced it with chicken, so I guess my The Cowboy basically turned into a The Five and Dime except with no compensation even though The Cowboy is more expensive. I said yes since I wasn't really sure what else I could say; I really would think that they would be able to figure this out sooner when I order rather than waiting til half an hour later to let me know. I then went back to sit down and continue waiting for my food. They mentioned that they had also run out of a type of milk for drinks, and even managed to run out of biscuits so they had to put orders on hold for 15 more minutes. In this time, we also witnessed them topple some orders and need to remake them. After over an hour of total waiting, they finally called our name again for us to get our food, but when I went up, the person had already walked away and their were multiple orders there, so I just had to look and figure out which was mine based. When I finally got to eating it, I was sorely disappointed. The chicken was warm, but everything else was cold, and cold gelatinized gravy was just not what I had hoped for in my brunch, especially when I waited so long that they better have made it fresh. I used to like this place, but after my experience today, I don't think I'll ever go back or recommend this restaurant again unless they really change up how they do things. Based on the level of business today and simplicity of the orders, I would think 15 minutes would be about the maximum time I would expect to wait, not longer than an hour. read more

Maple Street Biscuit - Gainesville - The Cowboy, except they told me they ran out of steak so they replaced it with chicken so I guess it's more like The Five and Dime - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Love this location. Chrissy at the front is so helpful and sweet. the food is always hot and fresh. the atmosphere is always welcoming

Pretty bad experience overall. 1. They were out of half of their ingredients by 11:30am. I'm vegetarian so I really couldn't get anything at that point except for the grits. My friend had already ordered so I just got it even though I don't really like grits. 2. It was a 30 minute wait just for a bowl of grits. 3. The bowl was pretty pathetic. They didn't even melt the cheese and the portion was small. 4. Instead of calling your name, they asked you what you'd bring to a cookout and then called you by that. I get that it's supposed to be fun but there was no warning so we were really confused as to what was going on. My friend gave a generic answer and apparently so did others so it was really confusing which "drinks" was her order. Plus we could barely hear them. 5. There was also no more silverware so we had to use the take out forks. I don't really care but just was another example of bad management. The staff was nice at least and they gave us a $10 certificate for the wait but honestly, I'd prefer my money back because I really don't think I'll ever go back to this place. The orange juice was good but overpriced. Overall, small bowl of grits + orange juice = $17. read more

We were visiting the Gainesville area today and had the pleasure of finding this great breakfast spot. From the time they greeted us at the entrance to the time they called out "6 plates for the Crown" to announce that our food was ready the cashier/barista was absolutely a joy. She helped us decide on what to have, patiently answered our questions and even made small talk with us. Now to explain the "Crown", this place is so cool that they have a question of the day and based on your answer that's how they call out your order. Today's question was what show are you binge watching? I am watching the Crown. I thought it was very cool and also fun to watch the people that went up for different shows. It was like getting called up for an award as our group got up to get our order. Now to the food which was absolutely delicious. I had the Hash Bowl, a yummy dish of potatoes, mushrooms, peppers, spinach, goat cheese, and bacon, topped with 2 fried eggs. We also had buttery waffles and about 3 different types of bacon. They also have a Keto bowl for those diet conscious people which came in good for us. Their choice of drinks was also impressive, with more than just coffees which were amazing. If you have the chance and are looking for a good breakfast spot stop in you won't be disappointed. read more

As I reflect back on 2024, I think of three major hurricanes impacting Florida. I think too of Ms. Kristal Green and the team at Maple Street Biscuit Co. in Gainesville who went out of their way to express their appreciation to first responders and crews deployed from South Florida to support the response and recovery efforts in the northern part of the State. The heart shaped biscuits were a wonderful gesture and a morale boost. It seems that Ms. Green and the team are very engaged in their community. Much appreciated (sorry for the delayed post). Oh ... and their vegetarian gravy is great too! read more

I had biscuits and gravy and it was great, 5 stars. The food took over 30 mins to get, 1 star. It was a Sunday mid morning and fairly busy. First time here, so not sure if it is always running behind. read more

We have a mixed review of this place. I thought my chicken and biscuit was good, but nothing special. My husband did not care for his, but that could be a personal preference. Our biggest issue was the price. While we definitely got enough food, it just didn't feel like we got the value for the money that we would expect for breakfast. It is an order, sit, and pick it up type of place that can be pretty loud when it is busy. Again, for the price, I think I would choose a quieter place that has full service. I don't think I would go back but that is not solely based on the food. read more

Bacon was burned to a black crisp. Scrambled eggs were not even recognizable as eggs. Food was not good at all. In fact it was horrible!

We came in and tried to order food, if you want to customize your item they don't, as in take or add items. I had customize my food due to restrictions and it took them 45 minutes to create a carna asada bowl. When the food came out 70% of the bowl was mushroom and there was and sprinkle of meat. We ordered 7 different meals anything that was a bowl was like that. Customer service was also not great at all. read more

Absolutely horrible!! THE worst experience I have ever had at a food establishment. Customer service is nonexistent, had to wait around 2 hours from the time the order was placed until it was served. Also extremely unsanitary, staff does not wear gloves to prepare your food, no hair nets or anything...just screaming over your food, dirty hands and playing around. Absolutely disgusting. read more

This was a popular place on a Sunday around brunch time, with the line just to order wrapping around the front entryway. Luckily there is plenty of seating inside. I ordered The Squawking Goat, which had a tasty combination of savory, creamy goat cheese with the sweet pepper jelly. The price, though, seemed high for the size of the actual biscuit, making me question whether I would ever get a different biscuit combination here again or try another item off the menu. read more

This was my first time here and it is a GREAT place to eat!! Customer service was out of this world. I had to wait for fresh biscuits to finish cooking and to make up for it they gave everyone a free maple cinnamon glazed biscuit. The manager and 2 other employees visited my table to make sure everything was good and to see if I needed anything. I highly recommend, the food was delicious and the service was beyond top-notch!! read more

Maple Street Biscuit Company offers a fun twist to traditional comfort food. Came here for lunch. It's an order at the counter sort of situation. Once you order, rather than offering a name for the order, they ask a question and your answer provides the name that will be called to retrieve your order. The question the day I was in was: If you could name a planet, what would you name it? (my answer, Gemini! Mainly because it's the first thing that popped into my head.) Their menu is so full of deliciousness, I had a hard time deciding. Fortunately, I was with someone who is quite familiar with their menu and he offered some recommendations. I ended up opting for the Squawking Goat from their biscuit menu (adhering to my rule of always ordering a menu item if it's included in the name of the business...since they're Maple Street BISCUIT Company, I was bound to order a biscuit!). I'm so glad I did. The Squawking Goat is a flakey, buttery biscuit, topped with a fried chicken breast, fried goat cheese, and smothered in their house made pepper jelly. It's delicious indulgence at it's finest. For my side (because when you're betting on a caloric sh*t storm, might as well go all in), I opted for their mac & cheese. I was a little worried because living in Wisconsin has made me a bit picky when it comes to mac & cheese. We have good cheese, after all. I needn't have been concerned. Their mac & cheese is all ooey-gooey crumbled cheez-its topped cheesy goodness. For beverages, they offer a variety of fountain drinks. I opted to get my first ever sweet tea (whoa, they ain't kiddin' when they say sweet). I ended up adding a bit of lemonade to offset the sweetness with a bit of tartness. The service was over-the-top lovely and accommodating. Their prices are reasonable. Get to it! read more

And that's why they named this city Gainesville. Lol late post but while I was in Gainesville, Fl my client suggested a couple of places and this was one of them. It was close to the hotel so I had to try it. My first biscuit was the Sticky Maple. The biscuits were huge and soft. The warmth of the biscuit went well with the maple syrup. The chicken breast was bigger than the biscuit and crispy. I so happy to add the pecan smoked bacon for extra flavor. I love bacon dipped in syrup! The second sandwich was The Farmer. The biscuit and chicken breast was very good along with the bacon, but instead of maple syrup this was topped with fresh house-made apple butter. It went very well with the biscuit and I love how they gave you enough apple butter to cover the breast. These biscuits were filling. read more

After walking in the door a worker announced "who here goes to Florida? I'm glad y'all lost they suck". Mind you, we are in Gainesville, FL. Then we are told it will take an hour to make the food and the place is half empty. Bad service from workers. They do not care at all about efficiency or manners. They are out of multiple items. Generally the staff seemed complacent and unhappy. Bad vibe, will not be coming back. Should have gone to Cracker Barrel. Extremely disappointed. read more

Just ate here 2 days in a row. I feel I am a coffee expert and I feel this is the best coffee around. The beans are infused with maple syrup. It's not too sweet just a hint. I suggest mixing their dark bark with the amber. You can even have free refills. Ask if Neil is there. He takes great care of his guests. They are closed on Sunday so don't wait until then. read more

The first time I ate at Maple Street was in Jacksonville, Florida. This is my second time, but in Gainesville, Florida. The atmosphere is very nice and clean. Customer service is excellent. When you place your order they ask a question of the month, so whenever the food is ready they yell your answer at the counter. This is not your typical restaurant, more like a order at the cashier, pick up your food, and discard your plates. So I guess similar to fast food, but not really fast food. The Squawking Goat is a fried chicken and biscuit with pepper jelly and goat cheese. Pretty good! Also got an order of the Hashups which was their home fries, bell peppers, onions, smoked ham, and melted cheddar cheese. Reminded me of an omelette with potatoes instead of eggs. Overall, I thought the fried chicken was a little warm, and not pipping hot as I'd like, but still good. read more

Very disappointed with my experience at Maple Street today. First, every table was dirty when my friend & I went to sit down. We had to bus our own table & clean up the mess other patrons made previously. Second, my friend ordered fried green tomatoes & they arrived burnt with no accompanying dipping sauce. Third, I waited 43 minutes for my order. While my friend had already finished eating her meal & the family of three, who ordered after us had already received their order, mine was no where to be found. I requested a refund as I needed to leave, & magically, my food was ready. I was given it to go, with no refund as I had requested. This is the second time I've had this exact same experience at this establishment & as a result I feel compelled to leave this review. There are other amazing establishments in the Gainesville area that will be receiving my patronage from now on. I will not be back. read more

This is a secret pleasure place for me. I love the walk in order and the unique pick up the tray process. The biscuits. Ok these guys are the scientist of biscuits and biscuit related combinations. I think they are the best I have ever encountered. They are very serious about providing high end biscuit product with awesome creative variations. They have family style bench seating. Typically very clean. Serve yourself coffee and tea, high quality and tasty. I travel here to go to the hippodrome and I always stop here for breakfast. Leonardo's RIP. Why did you leave me! read more
