Have purchased 2 different carry out family meals in the last 2 weeks. Both have been really gOod. The shepherd's pie was great and the BBQ chicken was fall off tHe bone tender - with great flavor and excellent sides. Their frues are perfect - great size and texture as well as ooerfectky cooked. The staff has been great - delivering right to the car to minimize contact. This is one of the small places we need to support and assure they survive the current situation. Call & order - you won't be disappointed!! read more

Our visits to the The Pub are always enjoyable. Having drinks or ordering food the service is exceptional. Looking forward to warmer weather and the beer garden. The owners always welcome us with open arms and we truly feel appreciated. read more

People go crazy for an Oversized Bar Burger. Not necessarily my preference, but they can be tasty if you find one that doesn't taste like overcooked Meatloaf. Maple Park is an old school small town dive. Despite new ownership and some fresh paint, that perception will never change. The place is known for 'Over the Top' Burgers, and they bring it! You choose your poison..8oz, 13oz or any other multiplier imaginable. I took a chance on the 'Patty Melt'.The burger meat was loosely packed and nicely cooked. It was hefty. It was beefy. It was tasty juicy stuff dripping down my chin! But don't eat too fast. It's better to be Boozin' than Snoozin'. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch with the family after the pumpkin farm. Staff was great and accommodating our larger party. Food was excellent and live music was great too! Ripped Jeans Duo was the band playing and they sounded great. Will stop by again! read more

The menu is limited but the food is good. The Service was very slow. We liked the outdoor eating area and the live music. Hopefully they can do something about the service. read more

Nice little small town bar and grill. For myself, I had the Hangover burger, onion rings and wings. The burger was a simple 8oz patty with a fried egg and bacon. It was cooked right to medium and seasoned properly. Nothing complicated about it. It was well made and tasted really good. Simple onion rings and simple fries. The wings fried crispy and still juicy. I have no complaints, if you like a bar atmosphere and simple good food this is a definite place to try. I enjoyed myself very much. read more

Maple Park Pub & Grill - a sandwich and chips - Bars Near Me - Maple Park, Illinois

I guess I expected something similar to Lodi Tap, but it was much more pedestrian. Burgers, beef, brats and the like. Hubs had a cheeseburger (no blue cheese burgers, to his disappointment. IMHO if you want to be known for burgers you gotta have a blue burger!) and it was good. However his poppers were still frozen in the middle, so just the same old poppers everybody else has. The beer selection was equally uninspiring. When we eat in Maple Park we will go to Lodi Tap... read more

Wonderful place that I've enjoyed for years. The new additions the owners have put in are perfect and provide a fun and pretty place for family and friends to converse. The only issue I've come across is there is no longer free popcorn provided. This simple and cheap addition was a big perk in my eyes and something my friends and I enjoyed, as it is such a rare find that I always found so unique to this bar. read more

Went there on Memorial Day when most places were closed. Their burgers and fries were delicious. All 6 of us there were happy with our meals. They have a great outdoor space that we would've loved to check out , but the weather was horrible. Maybe next time. read more

The burgers are bomb and great place to chill. I'd rate 5 stars but this its easier to get a table at Gibson's Steak House on a Friday night than it is here. I thought it was weird there just 3 large tables set up to seat 6+ people (all taken of course) and a ton of unused space that could have had other smaller tables to fit more guests. Unfortunately ended up having to leave to eat somewhere else, two other groups left before us after awkwardly standing around waiting as well. read more

Changed owners but still, the same amazing burgers! They are cooked to order, juicy, hand-packed, flavorful and sometimes made bigger than what you order (who needs a scale)! YUM! Will continue to eat here regularly! Going to try the fish tacos tonight!! read more

I really wanted to love this small town pub, but the slow service, mediocre food and indifferent attitude of the owner proved otherwise. Although our server was apologetic, the many assurances of "your food is next" over the 2 hours we were there was anything but satisfactory. When the owner came near the table I asked what was happening that it was taking so long "slow kitchen today"....you don't say! My burger was sad....barely a piece of bacon, the icing on the cake of this crappy experience! read more

Great burger!!! Imbodens from Dekalb provides a very tasty ground round cut making their burgers epic! Nicely seasoned! I do wish the bun was Brioche but maybe that can change (hint hint). Update: I keep making the hour drive to Maple Park Pub for their 13 oz. master piece burger. If you go on Wednesday, all burgers are priced at $5.00!!!! Hopefully one of these days they'll include Havarti cheese to the repertoire . Ask for extra seasoning on your burger, you won't regret it! read more

This is a terrific small town bar with friendly staff, good food, and a terrific patio. I hope they survive the pandemic. But when my wife and I went there for dinner last night we had to walk through the bar room to get to the patio. Not a single person in the bar including the bartender was wearing a mask. (The wait staff were wearing masks.) This is exactly the kind of behavior that drives up the infection rate, and if it gets too high then the state will be forced to shut down again and all the people in that bar will blame Pritzker when really it will be their own fault, and the fault of the owners of this great little bar. Smarten up people. read more

Oh my goodness!! What happened to this place?!! It used to be fun, packed with people and a huge menu! Not anymore! There was hardly anybody in the restaurant on a Friday night. We got seated quickly and asked what we would like to drink very quickly. The waiter was great. Let's talk about the menu. If you can choose from five appetizers. We chose the spicy chicken curds, which were not bad. The wings, however, were a different story. They only come in one flavor. BBQ sauce. What that means is they serve you wings and barbecue sauce on the side. The 3 of us got burgers. The menu says they are 8 ounces and come with chips. $2 extra for fries. The burgers were cooked horribly. They were huge two. The chips were a bag of Lays potato chips. My burger was ordered well and there was still red dripping from the middle. My husband ordered medium well and had food poisoning the next day! There were only 6 items on the menu. Horrible food and overpriced! Good service. read more

We decided to try ordering dinner here after reading a few reviews. The beer selection they had was overall fine, they had two beers on tap that differed from your typical domestic draughts. The drinks were served in disposable cups which is a turnoff for us. We got a half order of the cheese nuggets to start, the amount you get for the half order is generous and plenty for two. My husband and i both ordered our burgers medium rare, we ended up getting them well done and dry, and mine had a hair in it. It wasn't the worst meal we've had, but was far from the best. We probably won't be back. read more

In retrospect, I should have thought about how much meat 13 ounces is. Maple Park Pub & Grill is an excellent option for an enormous amount of bar food. And it is an enormous amount; the meat I would expect in 2 1/2 patties of beef, all shoved into one giant ball of meat. It was topped with lettuce, tomatoes and grilled onions. I ordered tots on the side (fries and a bag of Lays chips are the other options). The only downside to cooking nearly a pound of meat all at once, is that I requested "medium" and got "well done", with not a trace of pink to be found. Nonetheless I enjoyed my burger, though I was only able to eat half of it. It was well seasoned, cooked well, and quite greasy. The tots were cooked nicely, and even the tiny overcooked tots tasted good too. Overall, a good place to go for great bar food. read more

This place is unassumingly amazing! Hands down the best hamburgers and cheeseburgers I've eaten in my entire life!! The bartenders, cooks, waitresses could not be any nicer. Great prices, great food, great drinks. Honestly, what more could you ask for. LOVE this place! read more

My motorcycle group makes an annual ride to Maple Park Pub to enjoy the great burgers that they produce. It's a shame that they're selling the place I hope the new owners keep it the way it is. All we had to do was give them a call the day before to let them know that a group of us will be attending and enjoying their great burgers and they were always more than willing to accommodate. read more

The large burger was outstanding. I don't know how it could have been better. The chips that are included are a bag of Lays. The burger is huge(not to mention, great) but I Assumed they made the chips. How about a bag of a good kettle chip at least. I don't know why you would detract from greatness with meh! Regardless, we are coming back. read more

After a day of prison ministry in Sheridan I had a craving for a good old bar burger and having remembered the good reviews MPP&G had received made it a good option to confirm yeah or nay. Prior to ordering a fellow customer gave it and other menu items a plug and so I was in the mood you may say. Talk about big it is most certainly one of this biggest bar burgers I had in a long. It reminded me of the 'Jaques burgers' I use to get at the Irish Mill in Mundelein some 20 years ago so that gives ya an idea when I say long time. It's on the very juicy side, so much the better. The fries were on par, and the cook and bartendress were both friendly and I didn't get the stare by others customers that one tends to get walking into a bar as a stranger, especially on a Friday night. If there is one negative it is that they are so good I'd could have one weekly but because I had those jock burgers and many other bar burgers some 20 years ago my blood pump is not in shape to take one on weekly but perhaps every month or two. read more

Great place run by amazing people! A must try are the Nachos with homemade chips ,they will become a favorite for sure! Great way to spend an afternoon have a couple of beers and good food and from the looks of it they are adding a patio outside! read more

Tried to eat here. One waitress, who didn't know what she was doing. Was much better before the expansion. Service quality is right out the window. Got our drinks and then we're ignored for the next 15 minutes. She took orders at several other tables and ignored us. Second waitress was mad at us for wanting to very waited on. read more

Honestly, the best resatuarant to enjoy a single burger with fries. In Maple Park, it's much more rural to enjoy there and you have almost by yourself to eat with your family and friends there on a good afternoon. However, it closes dinnertime by 6:00 or 8:00 because adults are only allowed due to Dinner switching to bar time. read more

Just had a pulled pork sandwich at the pub...amazing!!! Tender with a great smoked flavor! They smoke it themselves. We had a great server...Diane, very friendly and attentive. The place is new and has beautiful features. Family friendly, yet still nice to do a date night. The patio is unbelievable...fire pit with Adirondack chairs, bago's, ring game, band stand, place to dance, regular tables, bar height tables, bar with a roof over it! Truly a fun oasis in Maple Park!!! read more

Friday date night with hubby, great ribeye steak! (Inbodens) Had not been in years, great remodel/expansion! Fun place!

Best burger, best value! For such a huge burger, 13 oz., it was tasty, delicious and cooked perfectly. Beer was cold, service friendly, burger hot, juicy and delicious. We will be back! read more

I tried giving the place another chance still a miserable place. Food and beverage service below-average

The transformation here has been outstanding. I would have given it 5 stars but I was a bit unnerved with a kitchen that closes at 9 PM on a Friday night. It was a beautiful summer night and I realize the kitchen staff has been slaving however, it was a rush. But a minor point. We should have phoned first. Our waiter was very sweet and super friendly and allowed us to place an order at 5 minutes til 9. I love the three different weights on the burgers and had the patty melt which was tremendous. They use good beef and serve quality bar food. For a long time the allure to Maple Park was The Lodi. The Pub has got it goin on too with a big clean space inside and out. A stage for live music on certain nights. An expansive biergarten. They have bags to play and this game with a long sting and a metal ring and you try to get it to land in this hook thingy.... I completely suck at this game. And of course, the preferred mode of transportation for the locals is a golf cart... you've got a Norman Rockwell painting in the making. read more

They're famous for their awesome burgers of various sizes, up to 32oz! Flat Screens everywhere. read more
