Family headed there just before 7 on a Saturday night. We were seated promptly and our waitress Heidi came over quickly. We placed our drinks order and ordered for our son. His meal was quickly prepared and that was appreciated. I got the smaller just a taste with maple sweet on her recommendation. I wish I had gone maple hot but that's on me. The pretzels and beer cheese are amazing - like last meal on earth amazing. The wings were crispy and sauced nicely. Husband got the bigger just a taste with ribs. Everything was prepared quickly and was delicious. One of our favorite casual restaurants in the area - we plan to go back! read more

Maple City Taps & Eatery - Just a Taste with maple sweet. I couldn't wait to take a bite, not sorry at all - American Near Me - Chardon, Ohio

Can't beat the pulled pork quesadilla!!! Great beers on tap too! Service was great!

Best pulled pork I've had this side of Maine and the baked beans & baked potato were a treat as well. The corn bread waffle was tiny but tasty and the draught IPA from Columbus just right. My mom loved her 1lb garlic butter mussels and my dad the ribs, Nice, weathered atmosphere and the wait staff was friendly & responsive. Apparently their Friday Prime Rib and Friday Fish Fry are worth a visit. We'll be back! read more

Long time rib eater at MCT, really enjoyed their maple BBQ sauce in the past. I just had the ribs on the 16 Sept. 25 they were very meaty but very skimpy on the sauce and not as flavorful as the last time. My son had the Cajun rubbed and he was also a little disappointed flavor wise. read more

Maple City taps is we building that looks like it's been around for 200 years no lie. When you walk in you see hand hewn beams. You have low ceilings and to look at the actual structure and architecture of the place you know it is very very old. Turns out it actually is very very old! I have a buddy that goes here who is a regular and I can always tell if he's there because he generally takes the same parking spot in the parking lot he's like Norm from cheers everyone knows his name! At first it looked kind of intimidating because there are a lot of blue collar and biker people at this bar and truth be told there are. But every time I've been here I've never felt more comfortable or more welcome. The beer is normally ice cold from draft and that's something that I don't take lightly. The last time we were there our waitress could not have been nicer or more prompt with my ice cold beer. My go-to meal every single time I go here is the grandma burger. I know there's a ton of stuff on the menu but I keep going back to the grandma Burger cuz it's so God dang good. I really like the fries too but because I'm fat I have to get a salad instead of fries. The grandma Burger kind of has Big Mac sauce on it which is why I like it. The bathroom reminds me of a restroom in a camper it's that small but remember the building is 6000 years old. They also have a pretty cool patio. Overall I haven't had a bad meal here but if you were at all into civil war era buildings it would be cool just to go in here and look at the beans and get a grandma Burger while you're doing so! read more

An under-the-radar bar/restaurant in Geauga County that is an absolute gem. Been here numerous times and have always been very pleased with the food and service. Fairly typical bbq fare but always good, very generous portions and reasonably priced. Kind of a rustic/log cabin decor that is more comfortable than fancy. Decent enough brew selection. Service has alway been good, not polished, but familiar and pleasant. Bathroom is a little tight. Great spot if you want something casual and a nice cold beer. read more

We had Greg at Maple Taps cater an 80th birthday party this weekend (Memorial Day weekend), and although the restaurant was closed over the holiday weekend, Greg accommodated our order and did a fantastic job. The pulled pork, chicken breasts, green beans, Mac and cheese, and corn bread waffles were all delicious. I would highly recommend for a catering event, or even stop in to have dinner, which we've done many times. read more

Enjoyed our dinner on our first trip to Maple City Taps. Quick and friendly service. Pretzels were good. The house chicken sandwich had a great flavor. Fresh cut fries were great. Pizza was very good. Boneless wings were ok; good flavor but dry and didn't appear good quality. read more

Amazing food I got the grandma burger and it was perfect!! the service was amazing I highly recommend this place.

Always good food and friendly staff. Avoid Friday at 6:00, people are lined out the door. Get there by 5, or after 7:30 read more

Maple City Taps & Eatery - 2 quarters dark - American Near Me - Chardon, Ohio

This was definitely a gem we stumbled on thanks to yelp. We were a bit curious when we walked in to a dark bar atmosphere but our waitress warmed us right up by sitting in our booth and explaining the menu to us. She was so friendly and personable. She gave us suggestions on the menu and suggestions of where to go afterward for ice cream. The pulled pork dinner was phenomenal, the different homemade sauces were flavorful. Sweet and spicy was more spicy! I enjoyed the honey bbq which also had a bit of a burn. The mac and cheese was so creamy but for $1.50 extra the portion was a bit small for the upcharge. The slaw was also phenomenal but a very small plastic cup, I could have used more with my pork! The meat was tender with no fat (hallelujah!) My dad enjoyed his burger and fries, no complaints there! Beer on tap was a good selection, they had games to play and complimentary popcorn to enjoy. Definitely not a fancy place and the floors were kinda slippery from idk what but the food was awesome and the service was even better, we luckily sat by a big bright front window otherwise It would have been too dark for our preference. Overall, Id return!! read more

This is my favorite BBQ place! Absolutely love the pulled pork with the original sauce, it has a great smoky flavor. Love the burgers too. The wife really enjoys the fish fry and the Buffalo chicken salad. We've always been treated well there especially by Gabby and Sherri! You guys are awesome! We live about 15 miles away and it's worth the trip. During the height of COVID they were very serious about the protocol. The place is always clean and tidy even though it has the look and vibe of a roadhouse. If you like a casual atmosphere and good food make sure to stop in, just don't take MY table!! read more

Great burgers, crispy Fry's alongside a great environment makes for an enjoyable dinner or hang session Definitely coming back to try the ribs. read more

My husband and I go here on the regular. We absolutely love the staff, the selection of beer, and just the atmosphere all around. We go here the most during lent when they offer the absolute best fish fry in town. However, my husband swears he cannot find a better tasting pizza then their white pizza with sausage and jalapeños. Oh, and the free endless popcorn doesn't help. If you are looking for a local bar with amazing bar food, a fun atmosphere for game nights, and just a chill environment, look no further than Maple City Taps & Eatery! read more

I love this place. I live down the road and come here often for dinner. The portions are big and the food is good for a good price! During lent I had the fish fry friday and it was amazing and HUGE, 2 people can share. I've also had some of the salads, pizza and appetizers. Highly recommend. read more

Awesome Food, Awesome Service! First time visit and I will be back. Pulled Pork is excellent!

This has been our go- to spot for months. They opened as soon they could after Covid, making sure to put the right precautions in place. All back to normal now, but I think it shows their commitment to the neighborhood and location. It's nothing fancy, but the food is great, the servers are awesome- especially Kim. It's truly a favorite local restaurant and bar. Tonight my husband ordered the mussels in a tomato sauce and I had the pulled pork sandwich. The mussels were nice & plump and perfectly done. The pulled pork had a choice of sauces and I haven't had one yet that I didn't like. Tonight I had the spicy maple and it was delicious. Just the right balance of smoke, spice and heat. Beer was ice cold, and our server made sure she stopped by before they were empty to see if we were ready for more. Great local place in Chardon. We always appreciate great food & service, and this place does it every time! read more

I really would like to give this place a good review because the food is good. Actually, the best fish fry I have ever had. BUT, the service is horrible! We gave this place four tries. Three of the four times we had such a rude waitress that it felt like we were in the twilight zone. I can not believe this waitress gets away with how she treats her customers. Even though the food is good, we will never be back. read more

By far, the worst place I have been to in several years. Hostess was an absolutely rude introduction to the establishment. Her answer to our seating timeline was "could be 10 or twenty minutes or an hour...". Once we were seated, our table was missing both a chair for everyone and the high chair we had requested for my grandchild, leaving my daughter standing there holding the baby. Server had a really sour attitude, like we were there to make her life hell. Service was slow. Food took forever and was fair at best. Server had no regard for my 20 month old grandchild, placing plate after plate right within her reach. My family talked me out of not leaving a tip for the server. Certainly did not deserve what little she got. Would not recommend this place, especially for a larger party (6) or if you have a child. read more

Got a cup of Gumbo. Was excellent. Got pizza to go. Haven't tried it yet, but got to wait and have another beer. Ashley was the bartender/server.She was excellent. Love the Ambiance of Taps. Rustic and inviting. I will return. read more

Good tavern food with quick service and friendly staff. What more do you need from your friendly local tavern.

My husband went there for dinner. His chicken sandwich was good. I ordered the pulled pork with baked potato and both were not warm at all. More like room temperature read more

Great food! We've eaten here twice now and both times we've really liked what we ordered. I've had the chicken sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich and my husband has had the wings both times. So far so good! read more

Best wings in Chardon! The maple bbq is excellent. Fries are very good. Highly recommend!

We walked in and it wasn't very busy which was fantastic. We thought quick bite and then go home. We sat down in a booth of our choosing, and then waited for at least 20 minutes until we got our drink orders in and menus. The waitress didn't tell us the specials of the night we had to ask. We also watched her eat some meals in between shots with the staff. Over an hour in we finally Got the sampler and we split a burger and fries. The burger was decent- nothing special and the rest of the food was so greasy and over fried. This was our second try at this place since we heard the wings were so good and staff was so quick. Both times were like this which sucks because it's close to home. Unfortunately, I don't see this place staying open forever. read more

BBQ pulled pork pizza was excellent. Choose the maple BBQ sauce. Similar feelings from others at the table for burgers and the seafood pizza. Our server was very helpful as this was our first visit. read more

Wow, what a great little find. The place is NOT fancy, Has a few locals hugging the bar in the corner who stare you down when you arrive but... Food was excellent, service was fast, friendly but not invasive, price is reasonable and has a huge menu for "bar food". The deluxe chili was flavorful and loaded with corn salsa, tortilla strips and flavored perfectly. Ribs were as good as any ribs at a rib cook-offs. So many sauces to choose from.... we'll have to go back read more

A hidden gem maybe? I'd say definitely! Was out visiting family and they took us here. So glad they did! My 5 year old niece says chicken wings are her favorite food and she can eat 28. 28! After sitting next to her at dinner here, she is correct. I saw her do it. Really really tasty food. I can't wait to come back. Chicken wings, fries, pizza, pulled pork - yum. read more

Tried the maple wings and a pizza with pulled pork on it. While the maple wings were good, I wasn't as impressed with them as their reputation led me to believe. (Maybe I was just too excited to try them...ahaha). The pizza was amazing though! As others have mentioned, there's nothing fancy about the exterior or the interior, but solid food quality! Service was great even though it was quite crowded. read more

very impressed with this local bar. Came in after volunteering at Vintage ohio and they still were serving their full menu at 10pm. huge salads and hand cut fries. a rib and chicken dinner with 2 sides and a roll $14 read more

Great place. Love the food. Love the people. Definitely recommend. Will always be my go to spot when I want that BBQ.

We stopped here after visiting Holden Arboretum, and I must say it does look like a hole-in-the-wall place, but don't let appearances fool you! This place was hopping with locals, our waitress was friendly and patient (love the warm welcome, smiles, and attentive service), and the food was pretty dang good! It is a bit dark inside, and there is nothing fancy about this place, but they have plenty of tv's, free popcorn to much on, and delicious BBQ. On Sunday's they have 10% off BBQ so I went with the ribs and pulled pork $14.99 and it came with two sides (coleslaw and garlic parm fries) and garlic bread. My date went with the BBQ chicken breasts $9.99 and got regular fries and mac & cheese. They make all of their own sauces and they have a ton of them, but the waitress will let you sample some to help you decide. I went with the sweet & spicy for my ribs, the golden BBQ for my pork, and the spicy ranch (definitely has a kick!) for dipping my fries in. My ribs had a wonderful crispy bark on them, they weren't huge (and watch out for that cartilage), but my mouth really enjoyed eating them. Pulled pork tasted awesome with that golden BBQ sauce (it's a mustard base) and I enjoyed the homemade cream based coleslaw as well (came out in the same 3-4oz containers that the sauce came in so don't expect gluttonous portions). Fries are fresh cut which is always great in my book. I had a bite of the white "gourmet" mac & cheese and it was just okay, but my date enjoyed it. He also liked the tender chicken that he got. This place is pretty far from where I live, but if in the neighborhood again I would definitely hit it up! read more

Excellent meal at Maple City Taps & Eatery! We started with the wings as an appetizer with the Maple BBQ sauce the wings were meaty and crispy - with just the right amount of the delicious sauce. Some of the best wings I have had. Our table had the BBQ ribs and BBQ pizza. All were delicious! The sauces for the ribs (selected by each individual) were excellent and the ribs were moist and tender. The pizza was delicious and the dough was great. Definitely worth the try!!! read more

Even here numerous times and the food is always well above average and a nice atmosphere. Most times though our waitress is nonexistent. It's to bad, the food and drinks always good. Maybe be more selective in the hiring process and profit margins would rise. I would hate to see this area lose this place , but poor service can kill a place like this. read more

I just had them cater a golf outing for 23 golfers. Ordered the half slab rib dinner. It was awesome, everybody really liked it. Easy to do business with. They delivered to the local course. Would definitely recommend them. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! It's not much to look at, but the food is simply the best. I get the same thing every time I go, their pulled pork platter. The pork is so delicious, especially when you pair it with one of their home made maple based BBQ sauces. I went to another BBQ place in Chesterland (one that is rate really well by the Food Network) and Maple City blows them away! I can't wait to go back to Maple City! read more

Good BBQ - Good Gumbo - Good God clean the place up. C'mon people - sweep the floor and remove the cobwebs from the ceiling. I'm a fan of dive bar ambiance but dirty - no thanks. The BBQ is quite tasty for these parts, the fries mushy and wishy washy, cole slaw just okay. I will be back and hopefully someone decides to don a clean rag and a vacuum cleaner and do a bit of housework. read more
