Avoid this place! The older waitress has a terrible attitude, was super rude, and her demeanor/tone towards me was as if she was deliberately trying to lose a customer, which she succeeded at. Service was slow despite there being maybe 6 people in there, which I understand why, this place must be determined to go out of business. I'm new to the area and will certainly never go back...well done Mae's!! read more

Lively service! Great MOSA! Plenty of options. Great choices of brunch menu! Very nice cozy cool spot to stop by! Service was pleasant and friendly. Will recommend this place read more

I always appreciate when the server brings up any issues they may be having. The day we stopped in for brunch, the restaurant was down to one cook, and she informed us once we were seated that it would be maybe a 40-minute wait for our food. Not a problem! There was a card game our family tried to figure out while we waited. When the food arrived, everything was tasty and hot! Despite it not being a Mexican restaurant, there was an option for a burrito, and I ordered one with spinach, mushrooms, cheddar and sausage, and it was surprisingly grilled and delicious, with a nice crunch to the flour tortilla. With a side of salsa and sour cream, it was quite nice! The decor was marked by fluourescent lighting and high ceilings, which quickly faded into the background with our tasty brunch. read more

I've lived in town for over 12 years now. When ever you want to get a good meal at a reasonable price Mae's is the place to go.

Mae's is an absolute fantastic place to get a breakfast on a Sunday morning! The Erin (owner) was running the floor today by herself and was absolutely killing it. There was a little wait in food but it's so WORTH IT. The Maple-Mosa is a MUST! Their were to die for and real local VT maple syrup that can't be beat. They up charge for fake syrup which they absolutely should! I can't say enough about my favorite restaurant and would highly recommend this spot to everyone. That women is an absolute super hero read more

Mae's Place - Delicious - Cafes Near Me - Brandon, Vermont

We always have breakfast at Mae's when we visit Brandon. The restaurant is nicely decorated in a soothing blue. There are plenty of traditional breakfast options. Fun Benny varieties. Syrup for pancakes is served in cute little animal pourers! Service has always been great! They have a penny press machine for a Brandon Souvenir Penny. Plus they carry some literature like a fun map of the area for visitors to take and use. read more

Felt super bad for our server because she seemed slammed the whole time we were there. The kitchen also seemed backed up, only saw one guy in there and it was Saturday morning. So I'd recommend only going if you're fine with a slower dining experience. For how busy it was the food was surprisingly mediocre, a little overpriced for the area but there also aren't a whole lotta options around read more

Food was delicious but served cold. Waitress may have been the only one for a full house. Place was busy. read more

I had a nice breakfast over there. Food is good, and prices are affordable. I liked the place. Friendly people.

Great place to stop in Brandon. Went for breakfast and had a great meal - eggs, homemade corned beef hash and added a pancake with of course delicious maple syrup. Service was very attentive. Food came out quickly with coffee checks regularly. Very clean and bright setting. Look forward to trying it for lunch soon. read more

Just regular breakfast grub- eggs, pancakes, home fries. But they have a selection of Eggs Benedict dishes that come with home fries too. The pancakes were superb. A bit pricey, but you should get at least one. There are specials and granola. Clean and spacious. Not busy this Friday in mid August at 9:30 am. Coffee ok. Service is good, but may be a bit stiff. read more

Mae's Place - Pancake with syrup cow - Cafes Near Me - Brandon, Vermont

Loved their Irish Benedict for breakfast. Delicious and delivered hot, including the home fries (something breakfast establishments often botch). Strongly recommended for your meal if you like benes. Good service--kept the coffee topped off for the duration of the meal. Atmosphere a tiny bit sterile/generic-- could benefit from some decor upgrades and music. Clean bathrooms Will return. read more

Yummy food! Solid breakfast food the lunch food is good too but the breakfast food is the real Jewel of the place! Great service, when they're busy you can tell they're trying their hardest to get to you! Amazing pancakes- so so bacon on the side though. And the ambience is super cute! If you're looking for sit down breakfast save the drive to Rutland and go to Mae's!! read more

Great cozy and local community business, ai love finding breakfast and brunch spots like this on my travels! Scored a 4-egg omelette with steak and a side of bacon. They nailed it! read more

Seems they struggle with serving people quickly, even when tables are not all full. When we came up, we saw another patron who stormed off after waiting to get service of any kind. They said that someone first stopped by their table 20 min ago and said food wait was 45 min. but then disappeared. When they came back a second time they told this customer they had never noticed them before so they were not even in the queue to be served yet. We asked inside and were told 55 min to get food. We did not stay. read more

Great place for breakfast! The food is amazing and service was friendly. The place is decent nicely and clean! I would recommend eating here. read more

We came for breakfast before a day of hiking while on vacation. Breakfast was phenomenal. The corned beef hash was the best we've had whether in Philly, NY or anywhere else. The Irish eggs Benedict and chocolate chip pancakes were pretty awesome too. The coffee was hot and the juice was fresh. We felt bad that the place seemed understaffed and business was steady, but that seems to be common during these times. We still got quick, friendly service. We wouldn't hesitate to return. read more

The only reason I didn't give a 5 is because the potatoes weren't cooked thoroughly. However, I had a great steak and eggs brunch, and you won't ever hear me complain about $2 mimosas! I love the fact that it's downtown, and within walking distance of other shops and the waterfall. I would highly recommend this place for a Sunday Brunch. read more

The Irish Egg Benedict is fabulous! We loved the outside seating option! Friendly service! Will definitely visit again.

A cute little diner in downtown that serves the most flavorful diner food I've ever had! Typically diner food has one flavor- salt. I decided on the sausage gravy and biscuits (all made from scratch) and it was so flavorful. A little spicy zip, home fries were the amazing skin on seasoned twice cooked type... so so tasty! And very kind people running the place and working there! read more

Clean, fast with pleasant service! The corn beef hash is legit as legit can be! It's moms corn be hash made from scratch. Closest to a NYC diner experience you can get while in Vermont! read more

Good prices, great food (their breakfasts are yummy) and friendly staff. One of my go to places in town.

Amazing food! Super cute lil spot in town and the food is amazing! It definitely gets busy on the weekends but they also offer takeout. I was visiting from out of town but when I'm back in Vermont I'll definitely be back! read more

Went to this place today for the first time with two friends. Allie the bartender took care of us made us the most fantastic strawberry margaritas and was very attentive to us would highly recommend anyone going here the place was great the atmosphere was fun and the food was fantastic read more

Way too expensive for what you get. We always leave still hungry, my omelet was see through, they totally skimp on the eggs and the portion of home fries was like kid sized. If you're going to charge that much for an average breakfast then you at least need to give bigger portions. read more

Our first visit here, we were greeted warmly by Paula our server. Not many people there for a Saturday, so our lunch came out quick (and piping hot.) Food was good, generous portions and great service. Will come back again! read more

Do not come here. Horribly rude staff and cafeteria quality food. Our waitress was a horrible, rude, sarcastic, condescending bitch and she made us feel like we were being a burden just for being there. It was a Sunday, St. Patrick's day actually, but my family isn't big on it. We just happened to be traveling through and needed a place to stop and eat. This was the only place around that was open and affordable. There was 8 of us, but we travelled in two separate cars, so the first group of 4 of us walked in. The place was empty except for a couple people at the bar and another family sitting down. The only waitress in the place told us to sit wherever we wanted. I told her there was actually 8 of us, four more were coming, and she said to push together the two tables in the back. The two tables in the back only would have fit four people. So instead we pushed together two other tables nearby. Again, the place was empty and we chose tables near the side so we were out of the way. She comes back literally yells at us. "No, not those tables! I said the two tables in the back!" she grabbed a table and whipped it so hard that the salt and pepper and sugar fell off onto the floor. She walked away and didn't even help us pick it up. So we decided to just all split up and take up 3 separate tables because the way she told us to sit we would not all fit. She comes back, with a completely different demeanor, pretending to be sweet and takes our order, there were four people in the group who all ordered corned beef dinner. It was supposed to come with a side of corn bread. She brings the food later, and my aunt is the only one that ordered corned beef who did not get corn bread. So when the waitress comes to check on us, my aunt mentions this, and she also asks for a bottle of mustard. The waitress seems extremely upset that my aunt would ever even ask such a question. She says that she's pretty sure that they are completely out of corn bread, in such a tone that she expects my aunt to know this. She comes back with literal pan scrapings and says "this is all we have". She doesn't bring any mustard so my aunt politely reminds her and asks again. The waitress actually sighed and said "oh my god, okay" and when she came back with it she slammed it onto the table and meanly said "anything else??" As if we were scum on the earth for asking for anything at all. Then she didn't come back to check on us until we had all finished and were ready for the bill. She pretended to be nice once again, maybe because she caught on to her own attitude and tried to save it. But too late. I won't be going back there and if I do, it will be to treat her exactly the same as she treated my family. Seriously the worst service I've ever received. She needs to find a new job. Maybe in a place working without people where she can fully blossom and be the raging bitch she is. read more

Every year I stay a night in Brandon. Every year I eat breakfast on Sunday morning at Mae's Place. Every year the food is amazing. I've had the breakfast burrito, the sausage gravy and biscuits, the classic American breakfast, and more--it just gets better every time. Mae's Place provides the ideal breakfast. Everything is homemade, and it sure tastes that way! The biscuits are perfect, the pancakes are fluffy, and the eggs are always done exactly how you want them. Mae's is a charming restaurant in a charming small town. The service is equal in quality to the food: you will always be treated with kindness and hospitality when you dine at Mae's! Just make sure that, if you find yourself in Brandon, you stop by Mae's for a good meal surrounded by good people. read more

Not a place to even bother with... the owner fought with me on FB when I asked for prices for dinner specials... As we where a large group(26 people) we wanted this info to plan our expenses for the evening... but was told that they don't tell prices... and maybe an employee would contact me eventually to fill me in... no one contacted us... so save yourself the headaches and enjoy one of the many other, very accommodating, restaurants Brandon, VT has to offer read more

The food was great! Had one of their burgers. It was fresh and cooked to perfection. Our waitress, Jessica, was so kind and helpful! She was amazing! Small town and a perfect place to eat if you are driving through. read more

Basically the perfect little spot. We were served by the owner, who was working very hard and is very friendly. Hollandaise sauce is to die for. Prices are more than fair. Highly, highly recommend Mae's Place!!!! read more

Fantastic breakfast and lunch spot. Place was busy the entire time we were here, but it didn't slow anything down! The waitress was pleasant to regulars and those passing through. Food was incredible. Pancakes were easily the best i have ever had. Thick but not dry! Good amount of chocolate chips. The bacon was cooked well done as requested and came back crispy. Overall a pleasant experience. If ever in the area check this place out! read more

Great food. For breakfast anyways. Never been for lunch. The service is always pretty slow. I've never seen more than one waitress working here at a time, and they are usually pretty busy. It's a great place to go as long as you want to take your time with whoever you go with and chat over a cup of coffee. read more

The service was quick and personal, it was easy to get a table. The food was comfortable, with big portions and delicious sides. Would definitely come again! Also, they are open until 8pm Saturday's, probably later on other days too. So don't pass this place up when you're stopping in Brandon! read more
