It's no exaggeration when I say that my dining experience at Maple Tree Inn was one of the best…read morerestaurant experiences I've ever had! My niece and I couldn't believe this was our first visit, especially after hearing so many great things. This place is incredibly popular, so I definitely recommend making reservations. After checking in, we waited less than five minutes and struck up a fun conversation with two lovely ladies who were also first-timers. It was the perfect start to the evening. The atmosphere is warm, lively, and inviting, with Mardi Gras beads and colorful carnival masks throughout the restaurant that give it so much character. Our server was fantastic. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name, but he was friendly, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations made choosing from so many tempting options much easier. Now let's talk about the food... EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious! To kick things off, I ordered the Creole Voodoo Zombie, and my niece had the Hurricane. Both cocktails were fantastic and set the tone for an amazing meal. My niece is an excellent cook herself and has dietary restrictions, so dining out can often be disappointing. That's what made this experience even more special--she genuinely loved every bite. We started with the crab cake appetizer and the BBQ shrimp appetizer, and both were packed with incredible flavor. For my entrée, I ordered the blackened ribeye, swapping the broccolini for the collard greens (worth the $3 upcharge!). The steak was perfectly cooked, and those collard greens were phenomenal. My niece chose the blackened red snapper étouffée, and she couldn't stop raving about it. Even though we were completely full, we couldn't leave without dessert. We shared the Mississippi Mud Turtle Brownie topped with marshmallow fluff and the strawberry shortcake. Our server suggested pairing the brownie with a butterscotch liqueur, and I'm so glad I took his recommendation--it was the perfect finishing touch and complemented the dessert beautifully. We've been talking about this meal ever since we left...and that's probably the biggest compliment I can give. In fact, we were so impressed that we made reservations for next weekend before we even left--and we're bringing two friends with us! Perfect for: Date nights, celebrations, or anytime you want a memorable meal that's worth planning ahead for. Maple Tree Inn absolutely lived up to the hype. 10/10--highly recommend!

My last visit was when they were still on Old Western Ave in Blue Island--way overdue for a return. Let's start with the food--absolutely delicious. The three of us kicked things off with the Cast Iron Cornbread, and trust me, don't skip it. Perfectly done and a great start to the meal. For mains, we went with the Pitmaster's N'awlins Gumbo, Hickory Buttered BBQ Shrimp, and Burnt Ends. Every dish was spot on--flavorful, well-executed, and clearly made with care. The restaurant itself is pristine--clean, polished, and classy without feeling stuffy. Service was just as strong. Our server, Nick, was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Safe to say, it will NOT be another 30 years before my next visit. Highly recommend.

With tax and tip it was closer to $25. The food came out quickly and was cooked very well. I did enjoy the meal, but would I return? I am leaning towards no. While the service was friendly and the food tasty, I'm sorry but $25 for a waffle (flour) and two eggs, along with two pieces of meat? Nahhh, I'm good. Don't get me wrong, there are times and places where you splurge but this just didn't rise to the occasion. I wanted to try their grits but they were like $7 for a cup. Grits...grits! No thank you.

My son & neice ordered from another company & at the last minute that other company informed them they weren't going to be able to accommodate them well after their order had been placed.

We will forever give our business to The Bell's Catering Company. We can't wait to try the pizza, ribs etc. We all highly recommend without hesitation Bell's Best BBQ & Catering.

I stayed in line watching the one girl fix an order and then she passes the tray/container to the next person and it stays organized for like 5 minutes then either she walks off, no back up then the guy next to server walks away doing something else. I counted 7 people behind the counter and they couldn't keep the line moving and constant. It was like the Lucille Ball Show. The owner(s) or manager should step in the line as a customer and just look at how things are ran. Also. I stood in line only to find out they had no short ribs, but tons of chicken. Like how can you run out of short ribs, and bring some caramel and chocolate cake back
