Fair enough if there are limited tables but there were open tables throughout the restaurant. Once at our table, the table and seats were greasy. Not cleaned properly between seasons. The digital pay kiosk was also greasy. The shrimp and pasta dish had overcooked shrimp and broccoli. It was not appealing. The grilled chicken salad was as expected. No complaints there. Toward the end of the meal, another family came in with a handicapped person. They were seated across from our table. The management should take ability into consideration when seating tables. Teach your hostess staff to do better. We won't be back.

I ordered the coleslaw which was good and the green beans as my sides..... the green beans had some kind of meat in it and some bacon, which was very tasty. They have great onion rings. Good size portions. My neighbor Up The Street has been coming and suggested getting something from your grill. I have passed by your business many times over the years and never stopped, but I will be back and trying out your other food. Thank you.

I wish this time I had gotten two chicken because they were so good! The beef was good too, but they are more My Husband's flavor style than mine. Nothing at all wrong with them just personal preference. The meats were good quality, and the beans and rice were good too. Mozzarella sticks were nice and crispy battered on the outside with soft gooey cheese inside just like you want from good mozzarella sticks My friend ordered the nachos and let me tell you that plate was stacked. Huge plate of nachos! The place was clean, service was friendly and overall we were just really impressed with everything. Even end of the night food was still served fast, fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend stopping here. Their menu has a gigantic variety so I can almost guarantee you'll find something for everyone!

There was no soap in the bathroom. In fact it looked like there hasn't been soap for a while, it was SO dry. So I just am left to wonder if they wash their hands regularly. Not only that, but the stall I used in the woman's restroom didn't lock. Plus the place just looked nasty. With so many other options in Mesquite to eat breakfast, I would go somewhere else.

I replied I would like to if the kitchen was open. She huffed and asked for my drink order. She brought a drink and asked if the next people coming in were with me. I said "No" again she huffed off. Then she proceeded to asked kitchen person why he did not lock the door? By this time I took the hint she didn't want me or my money by her rude attitude and body language. I told her that fine I will just leave. I tried walking out and she grabbed my arm asking why "I" was leaving. I asked her to let go of my arm and left. I owner's brother approached me while I was driving away to ask me what happened. I repeated above. He wanted me to come back as well. I replied No, I was done with the place.

The migas part of my plate was delicious(price on menu to add meat to the item was less than the what was charged on the receipt). The breakfast potatoes for 2 of us that ordered them were DRY, over seasoned, and COLD. Obviously it was brunch being served but the potatoes were not fresh. Not pictured was a hamburger with sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were overly salty, but they gladly made a fresh batch with no salt. This was our 3rd time here and probably our last. The first 2 times were amazing but now not worth the time to drive here or the $ for less than stellar food and service. There was nobody at the hostess station and several separate groups of people left after not being seated. Our bill was $74-ish for 4 meals. Pepperoni pizza was not worth the $17 and was not tasty. We had 3 waters and 1 iced tea.

The waffle has a Bear on it! The ambiance is so cozy and we love the bear theme and bear plushies. My wife and are pretty picky about breakfast. And we were blown away by how good this food was. My wife is from Georgia and always critiques the grits wherever she goes and says they aren't authentic. And she loved these grits! I especially loved the sliced ham! It was excellent! We tried the coffee again this time and were not disappointed. Our server was attentive and kind. We will be coming back!

I would give this zero stars if I could. We arrived and there were quite a few people waiting to be…read moreseated. We asked the hostess how long the wait would be and she said 20 minutes. While we were waiting, we saw tons of open tables with no people. Turns out the hostess was just signing folks up, but not actually paying attention to when tables cleared. Another employee came and finally cleared the bottleneck and sat a bunch of folks. Once we sat, this same employee brought our drinks bc nobody was paying attention. We waited 10 minutes, in the back dining room which was empty except one other table. When she finally showed up, we immediately ordered bc we had been waiting so long. She took our order and left. Where we were seated, we could see into the prep area. We saw about 5 waitresses all hanging out, playing on their phones, and eating. We saw one other waitress working like crazy trying to get people taken care of. Nobody helped her or left to check on their tables. After an hour at this point, we walked out. There were still tons of folks waiting to be seated, a bunch of empty tables, and the waitresses just hanging out. 0/10 would not recommend and we won't be going back.

Over the years, They have added grilled items that are quite tasty, but Ima go for the fried anything along with mashies, baked beans, etc. The chicken and dumplings are heaven on earth anytime of the year. Prices are decent, considering the economy these days. If you dine in, there's staff that are happy to help you get your grub to the table, will make sure you have butter and honey for the fluffy buns, and smile no matter how busy it gets. Leaving a buck or 2 is not expected, but a nice gesture for their efforts. Blanca sez check'em out!

Thought I would try the Chicken Livers today. I haven't had them since I was a teenager... and…read moreno... not doing the math on that one! Walked in, joined the line and placed my order. Noticed ladies working in the dining room to assure tables are clean as soon as customers leave. Once your meal is ready, they will call your name or someone will bring it to your table. Retro decor. Loved the music. Located across from SMU. You have the college crowd, residents from the neighborhood, grandparents with their grandchildren, and drive thru all buzzing with conversation. I found the chicken livers lightly battered, crispy on the outside and very tender meat on the inside. Mashed potatoes, gravy, and green beans were my sides. All tasty. Add additional seasonings and pepper sauce if you prefer. Be sure to check out the banana pudding. I requested extra meringue. Dessert was made fresh and tasted great. Pick-up, drive through, or dine in. Side note: Although there is no place for a tip when paying for your order... I always leave a tip on the table or hand it to the ladies working there. Much deserved for their hard work, friendly smiles, and pleasant attitude.

The love the venue it's in. Basically It's Dallas community college food court but it's great to grab a bite and read a book, study or meet a long lost friend. The food does take a minute to come out. Your better off bringing a Nintendo switch or watching a full length movie cause baby they are SLOW. Now the taste of the food. The pork chops were spot on but the sides were a little heavy handed with salt. Wait time and salty sides took two stars away.

Waitress: I am SURE I do not want to know. Dad: FAST FOOD! The waitress rolled her eyes and walked away while my dad giggled like an 8-year old boy. You gotta love that! And that's the difference between an four-star greasy spoon and a three-star one. The folks working there! My grandmother loves this place because the chicken fried steak is not really a steak per se. It's very tender. But it's way better than one you'd get at some fast food joint. And the sides are pretty dang awesome. I had a stuffed bell pepper with hominy (which was super fantastic), blackeyed peas and mac-n'cheese. That's how the lunch special works. You get an entree and three whopping sides with homemade rolls. This place can't compete with your gourmet comfort food joints, but as far as diner food goes, this place is near Barbec's. If I were just basing it on food I would have thrown a three-star review out there, but the staff was just over the top great. My one itty bitty complaint is that it's in Mesquite which still allows smoking in their restaurants. We were in the non-smoking section, but I could still smell it. After a few minutes it didn't bother me as much but I'm spoiled by the Dallas ordinance. Otherwise this was a great place to grab birthday lunch with my grandmother.

First up, the pirogies--holy moly, these little pockets of joy were just unreal. Perfectly soft, stuffed to the brim, and fried up just right. I'm pretty sure if my tasted these, she'd give a polite nod and say, "Not bad, eh?" Then came the pot roast poutine, and let me tell ya--this isn't just food, it's a life experience. You've got those crispy fries, squeaky cheese curds (as they should be, eh!), and gravy so rich it could probably pay rent in Toronto. And then--BAM--tender pot roast on top. I nearly stood up and sang "O Canada," no joke. Now the Canadian Eggs Benedict? Ohhh, beauty. The peameal bacon was thick, juicy, and cooked just right, sittin' pretty under those poached eggs with hollandaise sauce that was smoother than a fresh sheet of ice. Absolute perfection, eh. And don't even get me started on the everyday breakfast. Classic, hearty, and no funny business--just how we like it. Eggs done right, toast that actually tastes like toast (imagine that!), and portions big enough to fuel ya through a full day of shovelin' snow... or, you know, strolling around Dallas. All in all, Maple Leaf Diner absolutely crushed it. Let me tell ya, the service was so fast and smooth, I thought I was dreaming eh. Great food, friendly vibes, and enough Canadian charm to make ya wanna say "sorry" when someone else bumps into you. 10/10, would recommend--now pass the syrup, eh?
