Great service first and foremost. Very attentive and checked in on us several times to make sure we didn't need anything else and the coffee was filled. Food was great too. Great value. We ordered to poutine, pancakes and eggs. Poutine was flavorful and savory with fries that were super crispy and fresh. The toast was also warm and buttered which isn't necessarily a given at diners but they do pay attention to the details here. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Pro tip: get the home fries well-done. Absolute game changer. It was busy so we did have to wait about 30 mins. But totally worth it. We will be back! read more

Maple Leaf Diner offers a few traditional Canadian dishes with Texan portion sizes. The majority of the menu actually features classic American dishes. The food itself was enjoyable. However, the Canadian theme and novelty of the presentation make Maple Leaf Diner what it is. If I were a local, I couldn't imagine eating here often, but it's definitely a great spot to hit once in a while or if you're from out of town. read more

Maple Leaf Diner is easily one of the best breakfast spots I've visited. The pancakes were absolutely delicious fluffy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The eggs were surprisingly outstanding as well, cooked just right and packed with flavor. I also ordered the bacon and seasoned potatoes, and both were phenomenal. The bacon was crispy and savory, while the seasoned potatoes were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of seasoning. To top it all off, their desserts are truly top-tier. Everything I tried was fresh, high quality, and clearly made with care. Between the excellent food, generous portions, and great overall experience, Maple Leaf Diner is definitely a place I'll be coming back to. Highly recommended! read more

This place is delicious! The service is good alongside with their food and drinks! The wait time is always super long but it's worth it.

The food was great, the waiter was really kind. The place is comfortable and great. Very busy on a Saturday morning but we still only had to wait 15 minutes so they are hustling those tables! Only thing I can say to improve was that the inside was a bit confusing. Everyone was waiting around and no one was out front. While we were seated, a couple was wondering through the inside unsure on where to go. Other than that it was SO good! They are totally busy but worth the wait. read more

It's been a while since I reviewed Maple Leaf Diner. Since my last review, the COVID pandemic is over so this review focuses on Maple Leaf Diner's current interior. My Overall Rating - 5 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - There is a new remodeled interior (since my last review). Maple Leaf Diner is still in the same location, but the COVID friendly walls have been replaced by traditional booths and seating. There's more decoration on the walls too - especially if you walk down the hall to use the bathroom. Here you can read all the magazine articles that have written about Maple Leaf Diner. 1 Star. Service - Tip: Get in line using the Yelp App. Maple Leaf Diner is extremely popular on weekends, and if you don't get in line, you'll have to wait from 1 - 2 hours. Once you're in, you're greeted with smiles and attentive servers. 1 Star. Food - Maple Leaf Diner is known for its Canadian owners and pure Maple Leaf syrup. So if season pumpkin pancakes are on the menu, ORDER THEM. I did, and I was rewarded with a soft, fluffy stack of thick pancakes with a hint of cinnamon. I was given two small bowls of maple syrup, and I used them both. I also ordered the poutine. Just like in Canada, the poutine had fresh, hot fries smothered in brown gravy and cheese curds. It may sound weird, but it tastes delicious. 2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes, because there's nothing like Maple Leaf Diner. It's true, I could visit another pancake house and enjoy their pancakes, but there's no mistaking the Canadian charm and delicious food of the Maple Leaf Diner. See you next weekend! 1 Star. read more

The search is over! I've been looking for the best Chicken Fried Steak in Dallas, and I think Maple Leaf Diner has everyone beat. The batter is seasoned perfectly and stays crispy without falling apart--a rare find. My fiancé and I also shared a half-order of the poutine; it was delicious, addictive, and the ideal size for two people to split. The service is exactly what you want from a diner: friendly, attentive, and quick. If you're craving comfort food, this is the spot. read more

My boyfriend and I came here after my 10k race. We waited for 45 min (heads up, you can get in line virtually in Yelp) before we were seated. Love the atmosphere and the vibe of the place :) We saw how big the portion was, so we ordered 2 dish to split. i especially love the cream puff on top of the chicken, bacon and waffles, other than that, to me, it is kind of standard - nothing too outstanding. But the poutine *mm* - it was my first ever poutine. Heard so much about it but never had it. Better than expected and will definitely order again!!! Anyways, the dish portion is huge. Sharing is the best decision we made. read more

The ambience is best described as diner diner style (busy & bustling.) We were say immediately upon entering the restaurant and greeted almost within seconds by our server after sitting at the table. I was feeling breakfast and decided to go with something including pancakes. I loved the consistency, I consider myself a pancake conoseur and their pancakes hit the spot. Instead of eggs, I substituted for their breakfast potatoes which came out hot and crispy . I was even more pleased to know they offered turkey sausage as there are some restaurants that only have pork and beef options. So that game a star in my book. Overall, I'd say the meal was very filling, delicious and freshly cooked. Our server was very attentive and kept not only our water cups filled but continued to check on us throughout our time there. Great choice to stop here, as we were fresh off the airplane, coming from the airport and starving !! Way to go Maple Leaf Diner read more

They handled my food allergies poorly, so if you have any this isn't your place. Since I saw Vegan options here on yelp, I assumed I could get something untouched by dairy. I was painfully mistaken, even though I asked and was willing even to not eat if food couldn't be made safe for me. I also brought friends from out of town and my husband. All big eaters, but no one got close to finishing their food or wanting to take their food home. We were all super excited about the reviews, but were not impressed. Finally, how are you going to call a breakfast place "Maple Leaf" and not carry maple syrup? read more

Chill vibes. Clean diner. Friendly host and server, with quick service. I got the chicken fried steak poutine. Fries... good. Cheese curds ... good... chicken fried steak ... good. Gravy, sooo much gravy... good. Enough food for 3-4 meals. read more

5 stars all around. I got a half portion of the regular/classic poutine and a raspberry cream cheese cookie. Both were awesome. The poutine was flavorful and the portion size was enough to make me full. The service was great, food came out very quickly and was hot & fresh. read more

Maple Leaf Diner - *Half Poutine - American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We finally tried Maple leaf and it lived up to the hype. First thing to note that we had to wait 35 minutes on a Sunday at 11:30 for party of 2. We did not about their call ahead program that is designed to keep your wait time shorter. Once we were seated service was seem less. We ordered the standard breakfast stuff, waffles, pancakes, eggs bacon and sausage. All were cooked perfectly and hot. The food quality and quantity were stellar. I would go back but call ahead. I do not think this would be a great place for large parties of 8 or more. read more

Very good food, excellent service and an extremely busy atmosphere. They are religious to take your phone number & call you quickly when a seat open ups. An interesting experience! read more

You guys the hype is real. Amazing service and great food at reasonable price. It's a total diner and I highly recommend you guys adding this to your list. The vibe is total old school diner and the service is impeccable! I cannot wait to return. The poutine was great and perfectly salty. The pancakes are fluffy and the waffles were perfect. My friends got cotton candy mimosa and enjoyed every drop. Add this place to your rotation! read more

Solid diner with a variety of breakfast options! My friends and I stopped by for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We joined the waitlist at around 10:15am and were seated by 10:30am. Service is fast and efficient! Drink: I got their seasonal French Toast Latte, which was perfectly cinnamony and sweet! Food: I ordered an omelet with veggies and cheese. The omelet came with homefries and I chose a biscuit for my side of toast. The omelet was good. The homefries were very well seasoned and spiced! The biscuit was super soft and fluffy. I enjoyed everything! read more

If you want to feel like you are at home eating your breakfast, this is the place for you. Amazing food and ambience to match. Excellent service, wait staff are just a member of the family.

Make sure to get on the Yelp waitlist, cause the line can get long during brunch hours. - Half Poutine 4.2/5 Semi-crispy fries with warm gravy and a whole lotta cheese. It's tasty, especially with the hot sauce. I thought the half was also a perfect size for a party of 2, since we both got entrees as well. - Chicken, Bacon, & Waffles 3.6/5 I thought the waffles and chicken were slightly soggy, hence the lower rating. Everything together tasted delicious. - Lox Benedict w/ Latkes 1.9/5 The hollandaise lacked seasoning, but the eggs were perfectly cooked, yolks runny. The whole dish lacked seasoning, latkes were okay, kind of soggy on the inside. Free parking in lot. read more

I highly recommend getting on the online waitlist (don't forget to check in with the hostess desk when your entire party arrives). The service was very good - glasses were kept filled and extras were brought out promptly. Food was delicious. It was moderately loud, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. A great place to go with small and large parties alike. read more

Third time diner and honestly... a bit underwhelming this time. We waited about 20 minutes--and I do love that you can get on the waitlist before you arrive (huge plus). The place has a loud, lively energy, which adds to the vibe but can be a lot if you're looking for something chill. Our server was friendly, but very busy with other tables. It took close to 20 mins just to place our order. We only ordered breakfast items this visit. Mimosas and Bloody Mary were average, she recommended the eggs Benedict--decent, but nothing to write home about. Bacon was soft, not crispy (big miss for me). Not a terrible experience, just nothing wowed me this round me. read more

What a great spot! I love that they have some familiar options with some items that are difficult to find elsewhere in the area-something for everybody! There's a long wait, but it's worth it! The food was all fresh and tasty. I'll definitely make the drive from Houston to visit this spot again. My only qualm is that their waitlist system is a bit misleading. It'll tell you you're a certain spot in line, and then bump you. Turns out that's because certain people who joined the waitlist haven't actually checked in. read more

Family and I wanted to try out a new brunch spot and happy we did. Full blown Canadian decor all over, with plenty of seating. Menu is massive, so many options. I got an omelette and my wife got chicken bacon and waffles, which came with cream puffs on top. The omelette was solid but the house potatoes on the side stole the show. Seasoned so well with some sort of Cajun/seasoning salt, they were fantastic. Coffee was solid and service was great. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I can only write from a perspective of a California native who is slowly becoming a Texan. I say that because there are some restaurants that I should just stay out of. This is a great restaurant. Little to nothing is what I would normally eat, but I love that they have a few healthier options. I had the half size Greek salad, which is a great portion. Since it's a breakfast place, the bulk of the menu was high carbs. I didn't mark down for that because it's a breakfast place. The food that went past me was spectacular looking. It was piled high with waffles and fried chicken and the kitchen sink was probably in there too. Someone else in my party ordered Nonna's spaghetti. It was a big enough portion for three people. It was huge! If you go there with small children, that is an ideal thing to order for all of them to share. The waitress was amazing! I'm typically a back to basics ol' skool 15% tipper, but it was easy to tip her far more than that. The look of the restaurant is fine. It's nothing fabulous but it's clean. The bathroom was clean. read more

I'm sorry, but if this is one of the highest rated breakfast joints in Dallas, then wow! Lox benedict arrived cold (including the egg, sauce and latke) and included the tiniest piece of lox I have ever seen. The side of fruit was all hard and not ripe. Omelette was thin like they used liquid instead of fresh eggs. They alao give you the tiniest cup of apple butter for the thick toast. The tiny cream puffs are a nice gimmick, but not that great and very sweet. As an out of towner relying on the many Yelp reviews, I was left rather disappointed. read more

Popped in here on my way to a hair appointment in Dallas after reading really good reviews. Such a cute Canadian themed diner with such an eclectic menu. Definitely had some award winners and famous things on the menu that have been featured in TV shows so of course I had to try one. I got one that was waffles and chicken fried steak with some peppers and onions. It was fantastic. It was also huge and I could've shared it with two other people. The service was great. They were all super friendly. The baked goods looked amazing and I regret not buying more. Can't wait to go back and try more at this fun place. read more

Such a fun experience! We were meeting 2 of our adult children in Dallas for a weekend together. This restaurant just happened to be close to where we were staying. None of us have been to Canada so it was really nice to enjoy a new dining experience together. There was quite a long wait so we were thankful to have gotten on the waitlist early (about 40 minutes before we arrived). The staff were super friendly and our server was very friendly. The food was delicious and the portions were huge. The Canadian Rueben was so good. I absolutely loved the Canadian Classic Poutine. The rest of our group had various food like blueberry pancakes, chicken strips, chicken fried chicken, and an omelet. We really wanted to try something from the bakery part, but we were stuffed. Hopefully we can visit again sometime. read more

Call me hooked!! Maple Lead Diner has been on my radar to try for so long. I can't believe it's taken me this many years to finally give them a try! They use Yelp's waitlist where you can plug your name in, and make your way over when your spot in line is pretty close. Efficient system overall. You will wait on the weekends, but don't let that deter you. The inside ambiance is classic, nostalgic diner style with big red booths and bright lights. The staff is courteous and made us feel very welcome, despite the incredibly busy restaurant. The food. Wow. Best chicken and waffles I've ever had. And I've had a lot. It comes stacked with crispy chicken tenders, bacon, fresh strawberries, and delicious maple syrup on the side. I was impressed by the deliciousness of the latte here. The cream was so fluffy! My husband ordered the pumpkin pancakes and they were also a hit! We will be back again and again. read more
