I went on a Saturday morning and it was busy but the space isn't cramped and there was no wait. Our server was so nice and helpful. My Mexican skillet was delicious and we shared a strawberry cheesecake pancake. Yum! I had never been here and am not familiar with the area, and Maple & Hash seemed to be a great place where my friends and I could yap comfortably and enjoy a great meal! I didn't take pics because I was too busy yapping but definitely want to give this place 5 stars. I'll happily recommend it to anyone who's looking for a breakfast/brunch spot in the area!

Food and portions were great. Gluten free pancake was not your typical fluffy pancake. It was remarkably thin. It tasted fine, not sure I would order it again, it was a substitute for toast. Great coffee and several fun latte's. My husband had the potato pancakes. Giant portion, he said they were very good. I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a great breakfast place. I'll be back!

Chef Patrick slayed our brunch dishes on this beautiful Sunday morning. This was our first time…read morestopping for brunch. We started with mimosas (only way to start a Sunday morning breakfast). What we ordered: * Steak Hash- my husband said this is his new favorite breakfast meal. This is a man who loves breakfast over any other meal. Order the steak hash, you will not be disappointed. * Piquant sausage crostata- I absolutely loved this dish. It was bursting with flavor in each bite. Definitely had a kick of spice, which I love. I think we have found our new Sunday brunch spot! Thank you Chef Patrick and Kathleen for giving us wonderful food and a beautiful atmosphere to enjoy our early Sundays.

Let me start by writing that this place deserves five stars and should be five stars, and I wanted…read moreso badly to give it five stars. But sadly there was a private event that spread the kitchen very thin and it took away from the overall experience. Food: 5.0/5.0 - Everything we ate was awesome. We did the Wood-Fired Artichoke, the Two Pigs in a Basket Crostata, the Steak Hash, and the Arugula Salad. Everything was cooked and flavored nicely but I wish the steak hash had more steak. (See my photos) Service: 4.5/5.0 - The server was kind and Joe was walking around checking in regularly, making sure we were protected from the rain. I dinged half a point because the server didn't have the best explanations for why everything was out. More on that later. Ambiance: 4.0/5.0 - I think on a normal evening on a date, this place would be 5.0/5.0. The decor is rustic/modern and it felt like a vacation spot that you'd visit on the Florida coast. Loved the brassware and the attention to detail in the presentation of food. It was a Sunday afternoon when we were there, so the band across the street was disruptive to the feel outside the restaurant in the garden and patio. By 3:00pm the flies and gnats were becoming annoying. So good scores in general and worthy of 5 stars, but alas, the kitchen was not prepared for the afternoon private party along with the crowd from the night before... apparently. They were "unable to make" or were out of several dishes. From what I can recall, there were no: pizza pies, whitefish, and chimichurri. They also ran out of all soda except a few bottles of Coca Cola. And there was no beer on tap because the keg was broken, so they only had Guinness and Stella bottles. Because of this, it stung to pay the prices we did for our items. I'd say a fair price point with all said and done is probably $3-$4 less on any item here. Crostatas were great, but maybe for $13. I'd pay $16 for the steak hash. I'm sure if we came back on a weeknight, this place would be amazing. Great people, great food, and everything in stock. If we came back, I'd love to upgrade this review to 5 stars. The problem is, the price may keep us from giving this place a second try.

You can tell who are regulars, the staff is very friendly towards them calling them by name. Parking is not an issue here. My server was very friendly and checked on me a couple of times during my meal. The food portions are very generous! I ordered the chorizo skillet with a side of pancakes. In fact, I would say they overdid it with the hash browns in my skillet. I only made a small dent in the food and had to take the rest home. It was enough for my lunch meal. I will note that the coffee was terrible - don't bother ordering it.

I also tried their vegan chocolate glazed old-fashioned donut. Great spot for meeting with friends or doing work. They have a huge collection of board games to play as well!

Hi there! Hub-hub and I (and let's not forget our little Puppy) wanted a nice spot to eat breakfast…read moreon a beautiful Saturday morning. We ended up here! We were seated promptly, and brought menus- which we immediately perused! I ordered a build-your-own omelette with Havarti cheese, peppers, and sausage. It came with hash brown taters and pancakes. Ok- now a place that purports to be a pancake place should have good pancakes and syrup that's awesome. The pancakes weren't all that. Too tough - and the greater sin was that the syrup was already on the table in portion-controlled plastic containers. In other words- it wasn't hot, fresh, nor was it that good. And sure enough- the pancakes were tough. The syrup was cold. The omelette was nice and fluffy- no issues there at all! The hash brown taters were - well- abundant! Probably too abundant (darn it) as I couldn't finish them all. Hint - bring out warmed up syrup with the pancakes, please! Hubby had an acai bowl which he labelled "Yummy" - yay! One of us got a good breakfast! Service was just fine- not special over great. The prices were reasonable and the ambiance was just perfect. So- will we come again? Maybe. Maybe. But I'll avoid the pancakes - they need some work.

French toast just didn't have much flavor and it seemed like just a cinnamon slice of bread. Wasn't giving much french toast vibes like with a brioche piece of bread.

I first had the veggie bliss omelette and the berry bliss pancakes. The omelette was satisfying and the berry bliss pancakes stood out on their own. The fruit and sweet glaze did not require any additional syrup and made for some delicious pancakes. I liked the barbacoa skillet the second time around. I think the meat could have had a little more seasoning , but the side of sour cream and picante sauce helped bring more flavor to the skillet. This time I had plain pancakes and they were no were as good as the berry bliss! Triple Berry is a solid breakfast spot for some good eats.

So, when visiting them, we decided to stop by here for breakfast. The atmosphere is cute, I guess. Neighborhood greasy-spoon/diner vibe, with obvious regulars and staff greeting them. Our waitress was brash and frankly, barely came around, so maybe they favor the regulars here? Not sure. I asked for an Iced Coffee, was given bland cold brew. The food was decent but not great. The Irish Benedict was very heavy, and the hollandaise sauce tasted like grease. My Dad got a Traditional Breakfast. He said the eggs were fine but the sausage was slick with grease. The best item was the pancakes, so I guess this restaurant is named accordingly. No, I wouldn't come back, due to the mediocre service and food. However, this location has shut down/is shutting down since I visited a few weeks ago. Can't say I'm surprised!
