    Vlore hash stack with cinnamon toast
    Chris C.

    Like you might not be the Captain Cook type, but if you take a little detour, you'll discover something great (but maybe not Antarctica great). I had the Vlore Skillet - hash browns, bacon, sausage, gravy, cheese and scrambled eggs - frickin' so good. Wife had the veggie skillet - she loved the black olives in every bite. Look, I know, it's a bit off the road, but I'm telling you it's worth it. Service was great. Place was clean and neat. Danville is tough, maybe a little sketch, but you have to stick with it to get here. You won't regret it. Have an adventure. You won't be the first to cross its path, but you'll be glad you did.

    The Haystack skillet with added bacon n sausage.
    Tim W.

    Da-damn! So good! It's 20° outside and I was looking for something filling and warm...I found it. I couldn't finish my haystack skillet but it had everything I ever wanted. Great service too with a smile.

Our waitress came to take our drink order right away and we all decided to get the breakfast buffet. That was a great choice. Several options on the buffet. I liked that you could get hashbrowns and scrambled eggs plain or with peppers and fixings mixed in. They had a good jalapeno egg option too. Pancakes, waffles or french toast. Grits. Tortilla soup. Bacon, sausage links or ham for meats plus sausage gravy and biscuits. Tried a bit of everything except the soup and enjoyed it all. I did find the need for some salt and pepper on the potatoes and eggs but that's typical of a buffet. The only thing I would have liked to have seen added to the buffet was some cheese. It would have been nice to have for the eggs and/or the grits. Another add would be some berries for the pancakes and waffles or even some small packs of peanut butter. They kept the buffet stocked and made sure it was tidy. I love that they have a fresh squeezed orange juice station if you want some fresh ok it's available. The waitress checked back on us regularly for coffee and water. They didn't even seem to mind that we lingered for a while after we were done eating just visiting and catching up. Seems to be a family friendly meet up spot where you can eat and hang out for a bit. Definitely worth a visit. You'll be able to get full and the food is tasty.

We were taken to a booth and the seats and table were wet from the quick wipe it had just been given. It wasn't just wet, there were also lots of crumbs that had been left behind. As I looked around, I noticed that the floors were littered with trash and food also. Straw wrappers, napkins and bits of food were present under each and every table. I understand that during a busy rush, the staff probably can't take the time to sweep, but even after the rush nobody bothered to address it. There was a gentleman bussing tables who stayed "on patrol", though. He circled the dining room at regular intervals and made sure that dishes were cleared in a timely manner. I see you, sir! We were greeted right away and our drink orders were taken. That young lady was very kind and upbeat, which was quite welcoming. When she returned with our beverages, she offered to take our orders, but we weren't ready. And just like that, she ditched us! J/K, but kind of for real. A different waitress appeared and took over from there. She was efficient and took good care of us, but in a way, she wasn't as warm. She was no-nonsense and straight to the point. Our food was decent. My husband had The Special, which is a basic breakfast plate (eggs, French toast and bacon), I had the turkey club with fries, and my in-laws both had phily steak sandwiches with fries. The food didn't come out super fast, but that gave us time to settle-in and not feel rushed. It was quite nice and a change from what my husband and I are accustomed to where we live. We had a leisurely meal and caught up with old friends who wandered in and out during our meal. That was another clear sign that this place is a local favorite.

    We LOVED Maple & Yolk! We found it from Google Maps suggestion when looking for a place to eat…read moreafter an appointment at the doctor and wanting to shop at Costco. So the location was perfect right off I74! We went on a weekday around 10 am. As we pulled in, the parking lot had a lot of cars and it being a weekday and not a holiday, right off this seemed like a great sign! As we exited the car we were already hit with great scents as we approached the front door! The building had been easy to spot and was cute! The interior design was nice and in excellent condition. I really hate seeing places with like water damaged ceilings it's just gross. This place was in tip top shape! We were seated right away in a nice booth but had passed a long seating area which I'm sure gets used a lot during busier times and it's nice to see that they have seating for waiting customers. The booth seating was comfortable. The environment was peaceful enough not too quiet but not too loud. We were attended to perfectly by the server who answered any questions we had and politely took our order. She allowed a substitute for my boyfriend and when I had picked pancakes with two sides she pointed out a breakfast dish to me that was better priced. I really appreciated that as I had not see that combination. My boyfriend ordered biscuit and gravy and a fruit cup with coffee as his beverage. His coffee stayed filled. It seemed a little odd that it was just one biscuit but the dish normally came with hash browns not sure if that drowns in gravy? But his dish had TONS of gravy and he LOVED it! He really wanted to pick up the plate and lick every drop of gravy but he resisted!! The fruit was incredible as my dish came with strawberries so I got to experience it too. No idea where they get it but it was incredibly fresh and so tasty it definitely did not seem like grocery store fruit.he had scrambled eggs too I almost forgot. I opted for two pancakes (you could get 3) and bacon (it came with 3 thick slices perfectly cooked and they also offer turkey bacon but I got real), oh and I had the strawberries as a topping! Fresh creamy butter and a tall, hot maple syrup dispenser was provided. Oh I also had scrambled eggs! Cage free. Everything was delicious! So good! The server checked in with us enough. I shared one piece of bacon and some pancake with my boyfriend which he used to help get that gravy! My boyfriend cleared his plate except for a little fruit but I couldn't finish my 2 eggs and as I mentioned I gave my boyfriend some of my bacon and pancake so it was perfect. We felt the pricing was fair in today's market and for how much we enjoyed it. We definitely will go back!

Maple And Yolk is one of the most popular places to go in town for brunch or whatever. Expect to be waiting so make reservations if it's a big group. The menu is pretty basic classics along with some other things. Coming in here in the morning there was already a line going out front. It's certainly a favorite around here. The wait was maybe an hour so basically we got other things finished and came back later. A lot of what you expect at breakfast. It's about $5 for the cheapest items. We got the Avocado Toast. Before going know the vegetarian choices are limited. This one comes with an egg but we instead got more of the other toppings. Also we got Hash Browns. The meal was actually filling before we got hungry again later. Also has lots of lunch items. There's the usual items like salads and sandwiches. Got to say the food was good enough we could come here again. It's closed Mondays. There's limited options for vegans and vegetarians.
