This was some of the BEST food I've had in this area. Our waitress, Elena, was extremely knowledgeable with the menu, and with some of the dietary restrictions I had. She was fast, on top of everything, and even brought over some gluten free bread with our appetizer. The vibe of the restaurant was incredible, many different seating options such as high top tables, bar seats, couches with lower tables, and outdoor seating. The food was EXTREMELY delicious, flavorful, and piping hot. I am excited to come back here, and thank you Elena for making our night and experience read more

The atmosphere is amazing and fun the food simple fabulous The staff is very knowledgeable and always so attentive. Will go back as soon as we can read more

We were driving through town and saw the place. It looks very nice and the menu is enticing. Unfortunately, they don't open till 4pm so we will need to try another day. read more

4 of us came in on a Friday afternoon. Very busy, that is a good thing. Got sat in about 20 minutes. Bologna app was very good, I would order it again. Had 3 different cocktails, all were good. All 4 had different meals. Shrimp and Grits. Ribeye. Fish and Chips. Pizza. Service was on point. Will return when back in the area. read more

Stayed in Rockwood, TN for the weekend and stumbled across this gem. Maple Creek Bistro was fantastic. The pizza was absolutely on point, perfect crust and great flavor. Their mixed drinks were just as impressive, well-balanced and crafted way better than most places around. On top of that, they had a decent bourbon selection, which was a great bonus. Definitely a spot with a nice atmosphere worth coming back to. read more

Delicious food and great atmosphere. Service was average but everything else made up for it.

This is a pleasant, welcoming place in an area of East Tennessee where options are limited. It's my dad's favorite restaurant. We had a great, attentive service. With well-made cocktails, my dad toasted our get-together. Menu and dessert options are varied and enticing. We all were pleased with our choices. The beef tips were especially good. Good coffee but a bit tepid and served a bit late. Most of us were nearly finished with desserts by the time the coffee came. Minor complaint. Overall a very enjoyable experience and will return when back in town. read more

Maple Creek is a very cute, inviting place. Nice menu with lots of choices. We recently stopped there for an early dinner. They open at 4:00 and we were there at opening. we both knew what we wanted, so our server took our order shortly after we sat down. I ordered meatloaf with mashed potatoes, my husband ordered a burger. almost an hour later, our food was served. An hour!? Anthony, our server was very pleasant but never came back to us to explain the delay. People were seated and ordered after us had their food and some were finishing up by the time our food came. The mashed potatoes were bordering cold but I didn't want to send them back fearing the wait. Disappointed that our server didn't think it was unusual to wait almost an hour to be served. An explanation for the delay would have been appreciated. read more

Wonderful ambiance and a creative, delightful menu. Our personal favorites are the casseri cheese appetizer and the grilled chicken dinner. Delicious! Also a great bar with extensive choices. read more

Our server Anthony was the best we have had yet at Maple Creek! Well done Maple creek on the new hire!!!!

Really neat atmosphere, the service was good, we sat at the bar and there was only one bartender manning the bar and serving up drinks. He did pretty well managing it, but had to be reminded that I ordered a water twice before he got it to me. The food was good, a little pricey for what we got. We got the fish and chips and the brisket meatloaf with potatoes. The fish was well cooked and the breading was seasoned well, but a bit overdone. The tartar sauce is made with sweet relish, which is a little odd in my opinion so I didn't eat it. The fries were well salted and cooked well. The meatloaf was delicious! The potatoes were a good accompaniment, but nothing super special. The drinks were also good, I had a sangria and espresso martini. The sangria was a white wine base which made it a little sweeter, and the espresso martini was well made. All in all a good experience, but I don't know that it is somewhere I would crave to visit again. read more

Hubby surprised for our anniversary. The restaurant itself is really cute! The owners did a great job with the decor. The place was very clean and lots of outdoor and indoor seating. The cheese fig appetizer was good. My hubby ordered the steak and loaded mashed potatoes definitely just okay. The Hubby old fashion was made perfect. I ordered the twin chicken with roasted Brussel sprouts and it was fantastic. The raspberry cheesecake was not good. Our waitress Hailey was fantastic! Would I go back- yes. The score of 4 is because my hubby steak was ordered well done and they brought it out still mooing. Our waitress took it back and it took them over 30 minutes to bring back a well steak out. Also, the food is good but not great. Decor and waitress awesome read more

Food, Service and Ambiance are A+. The best find in Kingston, TN. Absolutely a must.

Facilities and ambiance were nice. Front staff was pleasant. Fish and chips were doughy, and clearly not defrosted correctly, and coleslaw was tasteless.. BLT was delicious. Thanksgiving dinner was horrible. Chicken tenders were just ok. Service was slow. read more

Service was good one of the nicer places to eat in Kingston They have outside seating but passed because of how warm it was outside ... The restaurant has good food too. read more

This place has a lot of potential. The food was ok, but a lot of the offerings seemed really more geared towards local palates. We got for desert the caramel cheesecake and found out it was just a New York cheesecake with a bit of caramel poured on top. The service seemed stretched thin, and the host was gone for an extended period. The kitchen seemed to take quite a while making our entrees that night. I think it may have been an off night. Staff had the misfortune of dealing with a Karen who couldn't deal with a twenty minute wait time on an entree. Things happen. I assume some kinks occasionally need to be worked out. There were cups already on the table which looked nice but got in the way. We had a messy table because of that. The ambience other than that is absolutely beautiful. The bar has a very nice glow to it. I would say it is a bourbon heavy bar with a few key cocktails and wines. They could opt to offer more variety of local beer styles. Though they do a good job of putting some local beer they could add more styles within that. Perhaps most customers don't care to venture out. I would say that this place has a hell of a lot of potential being pioneers in Kingston and being such a cozy atmosphere. I feel the food and drink could be retooled some more and even the table setting could use larger cups for drinks. The food overall was mostly standard American casual dining faire. I wouldn't recommend adding a bunch of Instagram trendy food though since a lot of it really isn't good for restaraunts. I would say it is better food than Aubrey's which is a staple throughout Knox and Sevier counties. A couple of items i would recommend off hand are Volunbeer by Next Level Brewing in Knoxville, a porter by Calfkiller in Sparta Tennessee, a dessert like honey lavender cake by Magpie's in Knoxville or even a burnt Basque cheesecake, and an entree like a pastrami sandwich or German smoked pork chop. Smoking those two meats and especially pickling pastrami might be too much to do. However the barbecue place in town acquaints people with smoked meats quite a bit and guests may have a taste for it. read more

Everything was delicious! We tried the meatloaf, shrimp and grits, daily fish(snapper) and steak! The flatbread and cheese appetizers and homemade blue cheese dressing. read more

This place is quite the gem! With it hitting all of the "Restaurants worth visiting" levers in my brain. Before I even walked in the atmosphere outside of the restaurant screamed relaxed and classy, with the metal sign and fire-pit-fire-place-like thing immediately catching my eye. Entering the establishment, I was greeted by two incredibly noticeable things, the warm and beautiful interior packed with hungry patrons. And a bunch if huge TVs over the bar. They aren't bad at all, just a little distracting. Now for the most important part: the food. I ordered the Maple Creek Burger. It was a decently sized burger with toppings galore, bacon, red onion, lettuce, and the pimento cheese all in a wonderful grilled bun. The cheese gave the burger this extra dimension, it was subtle but the burger wouldn't be the same without it. The fries it came with were crispy and delicious, but could've held back a little on the salt. But overall the place is definitely worth coming to! If I actually lived in Tennessee I'd come back often to try everything on the menu! read more

We ate there on December 26th. We were celebrating 2 birthdays. We could not have picked a better place! It was my inaugural visit but it will not be my last. From the time we were greeted at the door until we returned to our cars to go home was festive, warm and delicious. We had as our appetizer the flambé cheese, truly as much fun to watch being prepared as it is to eat, with the fig jam the perfect salty sweet bite! Destiny, was our waitress and she did everything possible to spoil the birthday girls! Thank you Destiny, you were awesome. Our entrees were Strawberry Spinch salad, I added grilled chicken. It is served with a strawberry vinaigrette. The birthday girls got the flash fried shrimp. The shrimp was not heavily covered in breading and the perfect Carmel color. One had a side of fries, the other had the potatoe trio. Seriously you could not go wrong with either option! Beautiful brown skin on French fries or the baby potato's baked and shredded melted cheese on top. Fork tender and delicious. The restaurant is over the top decorated for Christmas, the drinks are served in different holiday drinkware. We had sprite in a grinch cup, coffee in a Christmas tree mug and sweet tea in a gingerbread nutcracker glass. It was such a fun experience! read more

Geeeeez! This was hands down the best meatloaf I have ever had go into my mouth, down my throat canal, and into the pit of my gut. It was banging, and I mean banging! If I had a genie to give me three wishes... I'd use all three to go back and try their meatloaf for the first time again. The service was great!! the restaurant had a great vibe to it and had the cutest landscaping and decor! 20/10 recommend! read more

Awesome food and great service. Thumbs up for the Cumber Gimlet. Make sure you try their red Argentina shrimp! read more

At a high class-looking place like this, with prices as high as they are, you would think your getting top quality food. My steak was as tough as jerky and tasted even worse. Medium rare didn't do it any justice and even the waitress was not a fan of their steaks. If you prefer conventional, hormone-filled beef and love a good jaw-workout, then this place is for you. Even the brussel sprouts had no flavor to them. Salad was good. Will not come back. $50 for this meal was enough read more

Aleena gets the gold medal for customer service and innovation! The restaurant does not take reservations, and we showed up with a party of 8. After being told it would be 1.5 hrs until they could seat us, we were ready to leave, but she figured out how to make it happen in about 15 minutes. Then she was what every waitress should aspire to be, remembering our orders and getting drinks out quickly. We felt like the only ones in a crowded restaurant. The food was hot, delicious, and full of unique flavors, as expected. All-in-all a great dining experience for our weekly supper club. read more

This is a little gem in Kingston. The food is always good and Colton behind the bar mixes up some amazing cocktails. Always a friendly environment. Highly recommended. read more

Coming from California, we were worried we might not find these types of gems in Tennessee. I am so relieved that we were wrong. The Maple Bistro is a little slice of heaven. 1st, the ambiance is amazing. While the location being next to a grocery store isn't the best, the way they made it look is absolutely amazing. The way something looks is juat as important as the service and food. People want to feel like they are spending a night out. The place.is well laid out and I can't wait till it warms up and we can eat on the patio. 2. The service is top notch. The majority of the time, we always get one girl. I think her name is Aleena. I could be wrong. She always recognizes my wife and makes us feel very welcome. Awesome job. 3. The food. What can I say other than the facts. The food is pretty darn good. Lol. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. The menu is small, but so worth trying everything. Don't take my word for it, go for yourself and try it. Go on Thursday, they usually have live music. read more

Nice friendly staff w excellent quality food.Its a local place with plenty of spaces for private meals. My wife and I staggered around and found it kinda tucked away in a food city center. We have just moved back to Kingston after many yrs away. The food is offered as slightly different twists of country cooking like I had the meatloaf. The bar is great I had a Bloody Mary and it was nice and thick spicy. Bottom line is it is a gem worth finding... if you wonder I have 22 plus yrs in the restaurant trade and have seen it all and this place is well worth a visit read more

I had the salmon and rice, which was very good. Others had fried shrimp which was just ok, and the side of slaw was barely a tablespoon - not worth dirtying the little dish! The chicken Alfredo was cold and used penne pasta instead of fettuccini. It also took over 35 minutes to get our food for 4 adults and 2 children. read more
