I loved the Original Pancake House and was happy to see a new breakfast place in that space. Finally got a chance to try it. The food is very good, but prices are out of line with other high-end places in the area like Palette Bistro or Bay View Inn. Pancakes are $12. Eggs Benedict is $17. Omelettes are $15-16. Plus, everything is a la carte, so toast with your scramble is an additional $2; if you want bacon with those pancakes, you'll pay the full $6 price. We enjoyed the food, but the cost will make it an occasional destination at best. read more

Delicious Breakfast! What an upgrade from the old place; the food is incredible, the ambiance is fresh and cozy, and the service is great as well, even during these transitional times. Flapjacks were the clear winner for me, but the strawberry pancakes, the omelettes and the bagel sandwich were yummy as well. Definitely will return when we come to Bay Harbor! read more

Expensive pancakes that are not that great. Other breakfast items are good. I have not had lunch here.

We dined at Maple + Batter everyday while staying in the Petoskey area. Great breakfast! This place is fabulous. We met Paulo who was super sweet. He has excellent customer service skills. The food was wonderful. We enjoyed the mushroom truffle quiche with gruyere cheese and chives, sausage and apple quiche and strawberry waffles. Everything was delightful and this lovely breakfast joint is located in beautiful Bay Harbor. We can't wait to come back. read more

Maple + Batter - Mushroom Truffle Quiche - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bay Harbor, Michigan

Cute place , super busy at noon , lots of to go orders . We had their biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs with ham and onions . Rarely do I order eggs scrambled but this is on their menu so I gave it a whirl . It's a fine line between runny and over cooked , the chefs version was perfection . Service shined even with the mayhem of a full plus restaurant . There is plentiful outdoor seating options if you have to wait as well as things to see wondering . Our wait time was quoted as thirty five minutes , we received a text saying our table was ready fifteen minutes later :) read more

Don't get an iced latte here unless you want straight up milk. They gave me a croissant and it was frozen in the middle and burnt on the outside, but they gave me a refund on it. My friends liked their food, mine was pretty mediocre, but the ambiance is cute. read more

Absolutely THEE best breakfast I've ever had!!!! I'm a biscuits and gravy type of breakfast person. They were great. Top 5. But my son ordered the French Toast....game over, shut it down right now. Served with real butter and hot maple syrup. It's no joke. Breakfast is my favorite food, so I'm not joking. Service was great. read more

Service was outstanding, breakfast was really good and fulfilling! Place was clean and very kid friendly!

I was pretty excited to head to this new restaurant with my friends... but it was just okay... and left me feeling a little bummed. The main reason it was just okay in my book... the food and drinks were nothing too amazing. I love finding new places that serve up Bloody Marys, and I was disappointed with their Bloody Mary. Especially because it was like $15. For that much money, I expect a stellar Bloody Mary with fun skewers and such. And then the food was also just not too amazing. My friend ordered some bacon as a side dish, and clearly stated she wanted it extra crispy. When her bacon came out, it was anything but crispy, and she didn't end up eating any of it. All in all, if I'm looking for a really awesome breakfast or brunch spot, I'll head somewhere else in the Petoskey area. read more

Great brunch spot. Homemade bread for the French toast. Easy to get into during the winter, I assume summer is a different story. Great service! read more

Maple + Batter - french toast with powdered sugar and syrup - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bay Harbor, Michigan

Underwhelmed. Maple and Batter has potential to have a superstar breakfast place. Location is the former Original Pancake House and the same problems of OPH still plague Maple and Better: slow service, feeling like they're doing you a favor, lack of vibe. Some items on the menu sounded great, but in actuality, underwhelming. Breakfast is the least value added meal to eat out, breakfast/brunch is purely a vibe. If the food and drinks don't wow, if the service is rushed/inconsistent/doing us a favor and if the place is kind of blah, there's no vibe! Lets get to it: I ordered a latte. It was so blazing hot it burned my mouth so badly, I had to spit it out. It took 3 days to get sensation back on my tongue. My partner ordered coffee with Baileys. That's the extent of their boozy cocktail options featuring coffee and they don't have an espresso machine. They wouldn't make a substitution on my order because they said they were busy. But they weren't busy and a restaurant that doesn't accommodate a simple request isn't really interested in making your meal a happy one. They're understaffed (longstanding issue in this place long before Covid, OPH was always understaffed, too), and the wait for food and service was long. Maple and Batter lacks enthusiasm for a restaurant poised to be amazing, serving a meal that should be fun, delicious and begs you to come again and again. I get it, it's a struggle to find help but breakfast/brunch is a vibe and this place has none. They could start by benchmarking others. read more

Maple + Batter - A simple swap- I asked for bacon instead of ham. Too busy they said, so neither. Presentation of this menu item sucked, like a pile of slop. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bay Harbor, Michigan

The best breakfast burrito my husband has ever had. The breakfast charcuterie board and candied bacon were phenomenal and enjoyed by myself and 2 kids. Service was excellent. read more

Best Breakfast ever! We came in with a group of 15 and we're seated right away on a Sunday no less. It's not easy serving that many people and our waitress did a great job & was very patient even with a table of 6 hungry kids & 2 more people arriving late. The food was excellent - MAPLE BACON ! We all left satisfied! read more

This was a good choice. Great food. Not the most bubbly waitresses, but that is okay. Food was good.

Really fantastic breakfast! Specials are always unique and delicious. Bright and airy inside with a covered patio for summertime. Great staff. read more

I had such high hopes for this place. The menu, service and atmosphere were great. We got the breakfast charcuterie platter and it was room temperature, and very bland. It kind of had a boxed or frozen meal taste. We also got 2 sides of scrambled eggs which were like a powder egg item and left a liquid on the bottom of the dish, also bland and not seasoned. One person got a side of ham and barely finished half of a piece. We also got two lemon poppyseed muffins to go. They tasted like baking soda and we're very dry and flavorless beyond the baking soda. read more

The restaurant is gorgeous and the breakfast menu is great! I was with my family (party of 7) Joran took great care of us and handled our crazy questions well! The breakfast charcuterie board was amazing and my family enjoyed their dishes. I had the avocado toast, the omelettes and hash browns were good and my aunt loved the brioche sammy. We came for the real maple syrup! Amazing, I can't wait to enjoy it again! read more

I've never seen a douchier group of people in a single restaurant, let alone town. Our family of four walked in at the same exact time as a loud party of 20 that didn't have a reservation and we weren't spoken to for fifteen minutes. Once we were acknowledged, we waited an additional 20 minutes for a table. While waiting, we walked down the street and returned one minute past our 5 minute text notification. Because we were a minute late, they gave our table up. We didn't eat here after all but I'm hoping that if anyone is considering driving to Bay Harbor to have brunch here, don't bother. The sticks are so far up everyone's you know what. read more

This place is not great. I really don't understand how it gets such great reviews??? We assumed it was higher end but it ended up being diner food at high end prices. That was annoying. They call themselves maple and butter and they don't even have real maple syrup. We ordered the blueberry pancakes, the avocado toast and the mushroom omelette. All of them lacking in flavor IMO. Final review, a diner disguised as a scratch kitchen. read more

We had to wait a very long time even though there were several open tables. We waited for over an hour! The service was average, as I had to ask for a refill on my coffee, and our table was next to where everybody's walking. I really didn't like that! I actually had one lady walk by and cough. Yuck! The food was above average. More than likely, we will not be returning. read more

This place makes amazing breakfast... the coffee to start was amazing (looked it up local too so that's a plus). Sweet potato hash with bacon with 2 over easy eggs and some hot sauce was FANTASTIC. But the show stopper at this place was the flap jacks.... Crunchy, thin, not super filling like a traditional pancake... honestly everything we got was amazing but I would go out of my way to get those flap jacks and coffee. Can't wait to go back over the summer. read more

Simply awesome. Pricey but great food. Try the biscuits and gravy The hash browns are a must.

We were in the area on a whim and needed to find an allergen friendly restaurant. We came here after looking at their menu online and those in our party each being able to find something. I had a spiced maple latte that was really good and ordered their apple sausage omelette. Our server was efficient but not very friendly. She actually seemed a bit irritated when asked a couple questions about the menu. The food was pretty and the plates had nice presentation but it really lacks on any flavor that stands out. I thought the Apple-sausage omelette was a different menu item. It was a great concept but really just lacked any "wow" flavors. I couldn't decide if it needed a different kind of cheese, more seasoning, or something... it just didn't wow me at all. Someone else ordered the French toast, my fiancé ordered a burger. None of us were wowed by flavor and mostly just shocked at the very lack of flavor or distinction that would warrant the prices. Ricky Gervais has a friend that he made a show about--"An Idiot Abroad." He famously visited the infamous 'Great Wall of China' and dubbed his own take on it as "The Alright Wall of China." While, that's absurd, I don't think it's ridiculous to say that 'Maple and Batter' was the 'alright' breakfast restaurant. Nothing wow'd us to warrant a trip back, especially for their yacht club pricing. read more

Wonderful breakfast!! Great food and service. My breakfast burrito was so good and hash browns were perfectly cooked. My son loved his chocolate chip pancakes. Pumpkin spice cold brew was delicious. Will definitely return! read more

Was super excited when I heard about this new brunch spot opening. I had the opportunity to eat there over the weekend, which I'll be honest I was concerned bcz it was 4th of July weekend. The staff to the food to the ambiance were all incredible. The menu had a lot of great options and my table was all very impressed. This is exactly what was needed in the area and the new team seems excited to keep on creating a fantastic culinary experience. I would highly recommend! read more

The food was really good. Liked the candied bacon and breakfast burrito. Service good be friendlier. Recommend.

We stopped in because our son recommended it. It's a really nice place, people were great, and the food was pretty good. The coffee was less than good though, likely because they serve out of plastic thermos'. It had the same nasty plastic taste as airline coffee. We'll likely stop in again though, we'll just avoid the coffee unless we see it being served in a glass pot. Just being honest. read more

The food is great, the service is to. The Ambiance is Northern Michigan, what could be better?

WOW! Talk about a much needed upgrade. The team behind this did an amazing job of interior updates to the space and the menu (while still having the good old fashion thick cut bacon that we've loved over the years). I indulged in the Bay Harbor Benedict while my wife had the Wild mushroom omelette. Both amazing! Looking forward to being a recurring customer. Also, how do I get a shirt? Love the logo read more

Food was delicious, attractive and generous. I ordered the veggie frittata and eager to try more.

Went for breakfast this morning. Delicious! We had the eggs Bennie, mushroom omelette and a ham and cheese omelette. Very good! Cripdy hash browns. The service was great, coffee delicious and the iced tea was strong, just like I like it! We will be back for pancakes, soon read more

Absolutely a must when in boyne! Delicious food everytime. fresh squeezed orange juice , the eggs Benedict, everything was so fresh and seasoned wonderfully ! The strawberry shortcake pancakes are amazing! read more

Finally a consistent breakfast spot in the Downtown bay harbor. I've been in a few times and the service and food have always been amazing. The menu has something for everyone and they have freshly squeezed OJ. The owners are hard workers so it makes supporting this place easy. It's a must if your in Petoskey. read more
