You know you're close when your phone goes into SOS mode and you fully commit to pancakes & maple syrup as a survival plan! I learned something new on this visit. We were initially shown to a table, but since only 3 of our 4 party members had arrived, we were asked to return to the lobby until everyone was present. The server assured us that once our fourth arrived, we'd be seated with the next available table, and that's exactly what happened. It gave us a few extra moments to watch pancakes methodically and continuously be poured, flipped and served from the griddle. We had the chance to sit in the original dining room, which features beautiful hand-painted murals. The booth cushions are well worn from years of use, adding to the charm and nostalgia of the space. The room itself felt bright, warm, and inviting. Service from Michelle was prompt and friendly, even with the steady pace of the restaurant. We ordered three AYCE pancake and sausage plates, coffees, a kids' pancake, and a maple milkshake. Pro tip: skip sugar and add maple syrup to your coffee. Trust me! Whether you're visiting with a few family members or bringing a large group, the Maple Tree Inn is a place full of memories, tradition, and perfectly maple-infused breakfasts. Remember to bring along cash or a check since digital payment is not an option. And mark your calendar for next season because they are only open for 2 months each year between February through April, while the sap is flowing. Looking forward to their 65th season next year in 2027!

The staff was super friendly and helpful and attentive. There are definitely a lot of locals in there to grab lunch. But a fair amount of tourist that we're passing by as well.

Their menu has what you'd expect from a classic diner, prices are cheap, and service is quick! We got the Country Style Eggs and Patty Melt. Both lacked basic seasonings like salt & pepper. If I was rating off the food alone, I'd give it a 3/5. The home fries in the Country Style Eggs could've been crispier and adding hot sauce definitely saved this a bit. The biscuit we got with it was homemade and so delicious. It was warm, buttery, and satisfying. The Patty Melt was a bit dry and desperately needed a sauce. I used ketchup and asked for pickles which helped. The rye bread was surprisingly not dry and grilled nicely with butter. It was definitely a heavy meal but we needed it after a long drive. It's not the kind of place where you'll have an amazing meal but it'll do the job at a super affordable price.

We drove over an hour to try them out.

There was a young thin bartender girl that was very friendly and actually waited on people, but my cherry lime smash drink from her being off was either her being new with no one to help her or the bar's recipe being pretty bad. The beer selection, ranch, and fries were good. The moose track burger was okay, but bland and salty. We're in no rush to drive over an hour again and waste over an hour sitting and spend around $100 again on such a so so underwhelming experience. I'm sure it's better just for drinking with different staff.

The interior is contemporary yet comfy, the staff is super friendly and helpful. There are food specials everyday of the week and it is impossible to decide what to order.

I chose an IPA called Little Lobster and it was fab! Tip with the draft menu, scan the QR code inside the drink menu to get the most up to date draft list. I will definitely be back here because there are so many more things on the menu that I want to try!

After being seated, we waited about 15 minutes before anyone greeted us. Once our server arrived, we found out that about half of the sides we wanted to order were already unavailable. We decided to give it a chance anyway. When the BBQ platter came out, the portions were surprisingly small, especially for the price. The food itself was just okay--nothing terrible, but nothing that stood out either. I could hear a cook/manager having a heated discussion by the bar which sort of killed the ambience. Overall, it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. Between the slow service, limited menu availability, small portions, and average food, I left wishing it had lived up to the hype. I genuinely wanted this place to be a new favorite, but it just didn't deliver.

The menu offered some incredible Italian dishes and some excellent specials. I decided to try their Chicken French and it was probably the best Chicken French that I have ever had. We also decided on the garlic bread appetizer and the sauce that you dip the bread in was to die for. It also just so happened that it was $4 beer day and for me that was better than a 2 for 1, and it was hard not to have every beer on the list. Our server was super helpful and next level knowledgeable about all the food on the menu. I need to bring a group back down here to experience the Chicken French the great service and $4 Beer Tuesdays!!!!

I guess if you come in early to work to eat, the food must be good, right? We had the Artichoke French as an appetizer, which had a delicious lemon flavor. My manager and I both ordered the Gyro Salad, her's with chicken, mine with salmon. Plenty of fresh toppings and the grilled pita was a nice touch. Just would have loved to have actual gyro as a protein add-on option. And because I have a wicked sweet tooth, we ordered peanut butter pie to-go. The server mentioned that none of the desserts are housemade, but still worth a try. I did enjoy the pie, which was rich, not a cream-cheese base. Overall, a nice lunch spot if you ever happen to find yourself out in Hornell.
