Wait times are ridiculous. What's the point of waiting an hour for diner food? They should improve wait times or at least have coffee or water available. Water would be appreciated when you are forced to wait outside in 90+ degree heat in Dallas. read more

Food was ok. Cabbage rolls reminded us of dog food. A tea mug arrived with lipstick and grease marks, poutine arrived cold, wait for food was excessive and to be seated, even more so (even on the waitlist and after reaching #1, we had waited another 15 minutes resulting in an 1.45 minute wait!). Waitress and hosts were super professional and sweet. We've lived in Dallas for 3 years and finally decided to try this place as we also have enjoyed our travels to different parts of Canada (owner is Canadian) but for me, it was not worth returning. I'd easily go to my local Cindi's for hot, fresh food, generous portions and great service instead. read more

Great food! Delicious Latte! We were seated immediately! It helped a lot having the YELP app because you can see if seating is immediately available. The location was very clean and even their bathroom was sparkling! Wait staff were very friendly. read more

This place I s an airport franchise restaurant attempting to pass itself off as a local diner. Over priced, a good bit too salty, and definitely very mediocre food. They are however, extra proud of it, and are happy to argue with you about why they are right and you are fortunate to be breathing their air. FWIW, they got all three of my orders wrong. read more

One of the most delicious brunch places I have been to in Dallas so far. My friend recommended this place to me and we went to check it out. I ordered the blueberry pancakes and my friend ordered an omelet with home fries. The food was delicious. My pancakes were fluffy. I love that it was full of blueberries. They looked like they made it from scratch and they weren't cheap with the amount of blueberries. The service was excellent. The server was very attentive. I was also able to get a free cookie from "check in" on the Yelp app. He gave me recommendations of which cookies I should try. I ended up choosing Dulce de Leche flavor cookies. It was good. Also, I love the decor in the restaurant. It has Canadian decorations. It makes me want to go back and visit Canada. This place is must try brunch restaurant. I will want to come back and eat here again. read more

Consistently good service and great food. Definite try to anyone looking for breakfast, brunch or lunch.

This is a really great place for everyone! They have funny items on the walls and the decor is just great. The food is amazing and the service is even better. We ordered lots of dishes as there were 4 of us, but beware these servings are huge. The pot roast is amazing, the fish and chips are flawless, pierogies oh so good and the poutine is out of this world. The gravy they make is so good. Then you find out they have these crazy good desserts. Come hungry! read more

As many of the reviews mentioned, the wait here is LONG. Definitely be prepared, especially in this Texas summer heat. I almost didn't go just because the wait was so long, but I changed my mind last minute. I'm so glad I stuck it out. The wait was absolutely worth it! I ordered the Country Sausage Waffle ($17.99). While a little pricey, the dish came with a lot of food. The fried chicken was tender, the sausages were SO DELICIOUS, and the waffles were perfect. The strawberries, whipped cream, and cream puffs were also fantastic. Service was nice, and despite it being incredibly busy and packed, the food came out in a timely manner. read more

I went to lunch here one weekday with coworkers. It is kind of hidden in the back of a shopping center. I love breakfast so I got the Chicken, Bacon & Waffles $16.99. The chicken was really good, had flavorful seasoning you could actually taste in the breading. The bacon was just okay, not as crispy as I would like. The waffle itself was good too, had a nice crunchy exterior on the edges while still being soft and fluffy inside. I enjoyed the cream puff on top too. It has whipped cream and a few sparingly strawberries on it. I did not use much of the maple syrup as it was quite sweet already. If they included a gravy I think this would have put the whole thing over the top. The service was okay, it was a little slow to get the checks but other than that good throughout. I think it is pretty good but for the price, a little off on value but I would go back. read more

Such a cute spot for brunch. They were quick to seat us, take our order, and serve us. Perfect for a morning brunch. We got there a little early to check in for a table since there's usually a wait, so if you're coming during peak hours I'd account for that in your timing. The food was good- standard brunch. We especially loved the dulce de leche cookie they had. Melts in your mouth! read more

I'd been wanting to try this place for a while as I hadn't had poutine since the place I used to eat it in Austin shut down 5 or so years back The restaurant was busy in the early afternoon about an hour before closing (at a shockingly early 2:30pm on weekdays since they seem to specialize a lot of breakfast foods) but they do a great job of dividing up the tables and have folding screens that seem to dampen the noise a bit. Service stood out and my waiter was friendly and attentive. The classic poutine (full size ~$10) was awesome. The gravy was thick, the cheese curds nice and gooey without being too much of a stringy mess, and the portion was enough where I didn't end up quite finishing it all. In addition the also have varieties with pot roast, chicken fried steak, and southern gravy that I'm sure I'll have to come back to try, as well as a bakery that I was too full to think about ordering from at the time. Maple leaf diner is a great option if you are craving some poutine and their menu looked pretty inviting as a nice brunch possibility as well. My only mark against it is with their hours it might might be hard for me too make it there for a late lunch or early dinner when I'd be more likely to be on that side of town. read more

Chef's Kiss .. Maple Leaf is a true North Dallas GEM! From the poutine, Canadian bacon, or cream puffs Maple Leaf is rooted in Canadian essence. Right off 635, Maple Leaf is located in a shopping center, usually a bit packed, it'd be a good idea to add your name to the waitlist via Yelp. Flavors are great, pastries line the counter .. and the portions are heavy! read more

My husband and I arrived at the Maple Leaf Diner mid morning on a weekday Friday. We easily found parking near the entrance of the establishment in the strip mall lot, and we were seated right away in a massive booth where four booth seats had been pushed together that could sit a really large family or two! Needless to say we were comfortable and somewhat partitioned from other patrons. Our waiter was awesome. He must have refilled our tea glasses half a dozen times or more bringing two pitchers to the table each time: one sweetened for me and one non-sweetened for my hubby. The paper printout menu was easy to read and cheap to replace for covid sanitary reasons. Breakfast served all day made my heart sing. I went all out with chicken fried chicken smothered in a heaping of thick, white-peppered gravy and accompanied by a biscuit and scrambled eggs made my day. On a separate plate was a stack of fluffy pancakes and a large cup of maple syrup to drown them in. The chicken was piping hot and served to perfection. I thoroughly enjoyed my gluten filled meal, something we don't eat at home due to my husband's diet. The massive portions kept me full all day despite not being able to finish the pancakes or the biscuit. What a bargain for $13.99! This place is fantastic. I almost don't want to write this review because I don't want the place to end up crowded and dirty like other national chains who specialize in pancakes and waffles. Alas, the owners, managers, cooks, and wait staff need to know they are doing a fine job. I hope they can continue offering such great service and delicious food. read more

Service and food are always amazing my only issue, I wish I lived closer so I could go every day

Amazing!!! Everything is amazing! I recommend it to everyone! It's cozy and everyone is so friendly!

Worth the wait. Love the variety of options. We've been several times and we've always enjoyed the food.

I took a few friends to Maple Leaf Diner for an early breakfast while they were in town visiting. We had a 35 minute wait and were offered mimosas (at our expense) to help offset the time. Once we got seated the staff took great care of us. Our food was fresh and timely, the amount of attention we needed to feel appreciated was provided and great recommendations from the menu were made. Will absolutely be back to visit. read more

Please join the waitlist before you head to this very popular spot! We were so excited to try this place out, and it did not disappoint. I can see all the hype, but there are still ways they could approve. We started out with the southern poutine which was the best decision of that morning. All 3 of us killed it and there was no fry left ! I could have just had that as a meal. We then ordered so baked goods which were the blueberry scone and a stuffed cookie. The cookie was not memorable and small, but the scone took our hearts (like we ordered some to go as well). For the meal, I had the French toast and it was delicious! The cream puff thing on top just did it for me. I also tried my friends breakfast potatoes and they were seasoned with love. My other friend was not a fan of the waffles, but loved all other parts of her meal. Overall, I think this place is a good pick! Super picture worthy entrees plus they actually taste good! read more

We've never had the same server, but we've always had amazing ones. Food is amazing. There is way too much of it and they are not pushy. My hubby gets the chicken and waffles always. I flip between the corned beef skillet and the farmers breakfast. You can't beat it. read more

Always an amazing taste and with tons of hospitality at the diner. Our weekend must to go place.

The food was just what we ordered and tasty, our waiter was amazing and thoughtful. We will be returning soon.

Came here for an early dinner and was amazed at the value, cleanliness and personality of the staff. Always the sign of a good store when the team is having fun. Arrived before 5 on a Sunday night for dinner. I ordered the fish and chips and was amazed not only with the great taste but the huge quantity of food. There was enough for two meals there. The cod was freshly cooked and tasted wonderful. The special house sauce for it was a nice sweet touch. I think it was relish based. The huge piece of fish was on a larger pile of chips (aka, fries). Also added were some soft, sweet cooked carrots and plenty of green beans. Finally the sour dough roll topped it all off. My dinner partner had the eggs Benedict and raves about it. Another pile of potatoes, this time home fries with a special seasoning on them. The food was very good, but the waitress - Miss Mae - was fabulous. Just the right amount of attention, very personable, and a gem of a waitress. Oh yeah, the Owner / Manager stopped by at the end to see how things went. Mike was the first manager type ever to ask how things went and seemed to genuinely mean it. If they were all that good, it wouldn't irritate me each time they blew by on the way to somewhere/something else as they asked. Great place for great food. read more

Our cousin visited from Cali and was craving Waffle House. My husband decided that we go here instead and I am glad he did because this place is awesome! We started out brunch with some poutine and it's one of the best poutines I've had! As you can see, there's no photo because we devoured it so fast. My husband and his cousin enjoyed the chicken waffle. The portion is enormous!!! I had the latkes, it was okay, however, the portions is perfect as I did not feel overwhelmed. The customer service is also great! Don't forget to also check in so you can claim your free cookies! read more

Get a butter tart, it comes out warm from the kitchen and was one of the best things I've ever eaten! I really enjoyed the Canadien eggs Benedict. The Canadian bacon was thicker and crispier than the stuff I've had before. The home fries were a bit soft for my taste. It's a busy breakfast spot with booths and some tables. Service was excellent I would be happy to eat here again. read more

So we finally made it back!! Again everything here is super good- pancakes were on point!! The screwdriver was not that good!! I had the pizza burger this time, the burger was so good!

Well we returned to try different meals and once again came away disappointed. This time I went with corned beef hash with two over easy eggs.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Desserts: 5/5 (YUM) Environment: 4/5 Honestly my favorite thing in the entire restaurant was the (free) cookie I got with checking into YELP and the blueberry scone. I would honestly come back here just for the desserts. They were affordable, not super sweet, and delicious! I got the Greek omelet and it was very filling and tasted good. The plate came with bread and potato crisps? Overall the plate was tasty. I would love to come back here and try something new again. There was so many food options!

Make sure to join the waitlist before you're on your way here, especially on weekends, as this is a hot place with an hour+ wait time. As I got to the place and checked in, there were people waiting outside the door for this place and I still had to wait a bit after checking in to be seated. The place was very busy and was just like a diner. Our waiter took a bit to get our order and was running around, which was no problem as it was busy, but I think we only saw her one time from serving our food to getting our check which was a little concerning. I got to try the famous Chicken, Bacon & Waffles, featured in Paula Deen Magazine, and it was outstanding in terms of presentation. The cream puffs on top were VERY sweet, overly sweet for me, but some people are a fan of that. Both the chicken and the waffles were lacking flavor and seasoning which was disappointing. (6/10) I also ordered the Chicken Fried Steak Poutine as I have always wanted to try poutine and it was advertised as "seen on the Travel Channel's Food Paradise" and it met my expectations as to what I envisioned Poutine tasted like. Plenty of gravy, cheese curds and fries, but the Chicken was not as flavorful again. (8/10) Overall, I think this place is great to try with a big group who's in the mood for some breakfast/diner food. Lots of unique and outstanding dishes, as well as diner classics. read more

Great surprise for a quick breakfast! Who would've thought that a Canadian themed diner in Dallas, Texas would be awesome. I mean any place that has cream puffs on the menu for breakfast can't be bad right?? The service was quick and attentive.

Liked the vibe ofthis place. Super friendly servers and it was and amazingly clean restaurant. Not very busy this Friday morning - I picked a table it was greeted immediately. I loved my massive plate of Chicken Fried Steak Poutine with a Fried Egg on top and Extra Cheese Curds. it was all pretty amazing the way the flavors blended. Fries were crispy & hot with just the right amount of gravy too. No doubt the best poutine I've ever experienced. Be sure to use your Yelp! check-in for a free cookie. Thought my peanut butter and jelly cookie was outstanding too. Jessica my server was stellar. i'll definitely be back my next time here in Dallas. read more
