    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.

    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 Maple Leaf Diner is still in the same location, but the COVID friendly walls have been replaced by traditional booths and seating.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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    *Half Poutine

    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.

    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!

    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.

    The food was amazing next time I'd just get the whipped cream on the side of my waffles. The service was great and I'd definitely be back. Award winning breakfast spot.

    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.

It isn't vegan but I find great options when we split plates. The only reason I dropped my rating from 5 to 4 stars is that even in 100 degree weather they keep a huge service window open so the bar is accessible both inside and outside. This practice is hugely irresponsible to the environment, to the Texas power grid and residents, and to those of us paying our bill here knowing we are footing that bill.

I had booked a reservation on Resy and we were seated immediately in a small, intimate booth. Initially, it was not terribly loud, but as the evening progressed and several large parties were seated nearby; the sound of the music was completely drowned out. I think more noise abatement measures could be taken to absorb some of the obtrusive loudness we were getting. For a starter, we ordered the Calamari. It was fried perfectly and was great, but the Thai Sticky sauce was too sweet and the consistency of the sauce was thin. It needed something to make it more viscous, and a secondary sauce, like a marinara or even an aioli would've been nice to balance out the sweetness of the Thai sauce. For an entree, I ordered the Maple- Ginger Salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly and itself was delicious, but the sauce was too sweet and rich. The fired rice that accompanied my meal was over-the-top salty. It was almost going into "too much" territory. For desert we split the Passion Fruit Ice Cream Pie. This was actually very good and not overly sweet. It was my favorite item from my meal. Overall Renny's truly employs a lot of care and attention to the food, but some of the items crossed a line into "too much" territory. Be it sweetness or saltiness, the kitchen could exercise a bit of restraint to let the flavors of the food shine.

The Tuna & Avocado Crunch Roll was just... okay. It tasted like it had been sitting for a while because the rice was cold and hard. Definitely didn't have that fresh-made texture I was expecting. The biggest miss for me was the Katsu Chicken Salad. If you've had proper katsu before, you know it's supposed to be juicy AF with a crispy coating and packed with flavor. This one was dry and just kind of... there. If someone asked me if I'd order it again? NOPE. The drinks definitely redeemed the meal. We tend to customize our cocktails and the bartender absolutely knew what she was doing. Every modification came out exactly how we wanted it. Overall, I'd come back for the atmosphere, drinks, and that Korean Cauliflower alone. Next time, I'd probably skip the sushi and katsu and stick to sharing appetizers and cocktails.

We made reservations for dinner here on a Saturday evening. We were seated in a cozy booth and were greeted by multiple waitstaff. I ordered a Strawberry Basil Lemonade Mocktail. It was nice and tart and wound up being a perfect complement to my meal. For a starter, we got the Hot Artichoke and Spinach dip. It was magnificent! You could really tell the flavor was rich due to the cream cheese. It came with some lavash chips and the hearty crunch paired beautifully with the creaminess of the dip. For an entree, I got the fish tacos. They were stellar, and I enjoyed every component, from the chipotle tortillas to the fried fish- it was excellent! It also came with a chilled orzo salad with a basalmic dressing- it was so refreshing and was just as good the next day as part of my leftovers. The portioned were generous so it was enough for 2 full meals for me which makes this an incredible value.

Features a compact bar with only 2 screens, which again is preferential versus something loaded to the gills with cheap TCL displays. Menu is simple and direct, with all of what you might expect from an upscale neighborhood bar & grill. The tuna tartare is excellent, but it's more of a dip almost than a traditional imagining. It has jalapeno, heaps of cilantro, and muddled avocado to tie it all together. Very fresh and pleasant. Pastrami sliders were also tasty, but I would venture to say they are a little too bready for an appetizer, but nicely done otherwise. My go to entree is of course either the hanger steak or filet with fries and semi traditional bistro sauce, can't go wrong there. I have only seen 2 deserts on the menu, but there might be some special appearances from time to time. The do not miss item there is the Basque cheesecake. Which is basically a cheese forwards cheesecake without a crust, and somewhat reduced sugar content versus it's American cousins. Very good, and served with a berry coulis. The only trespass I experienced was with the wine list. It's overall somewhat expensive for what's listed, and on my last visit two bottles I had ordered were out of stock.

I ordered the…read morerotisserie chicken with a double serving of Brussels sprouts, and both were flavorful and well prepared. I was initially looking forward to substituting the mashed potatoes for the potato wedges, but I learned that the wedges are no longer offered. Even so, our waitress was gracious enough to let me sample the mashed potatoes, and they were absolutely delicious. The ambiance was warm, inviting, and impeccably maintained, making for a very enjoyable dining experience. Overall, I had a great visit and look forward to returning soon to try the pizza.
