I met family at Maple Table for a recent brunch. It's a cute space and much larger than it appears…read more We were drawn in by the broad menu with options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. Our service was good and the server was friendly. I will say there are not enough soft furnishings here and it's pretty loud. I tried the Crab Cake Benedict - Poached eggs on top of two crab cakes, topped with hollandaise sauce, and scallions, served with remoulade sauce. It was quite good, but the crab cakes had more breading than I'd say is ideal and they were pretty dark. I also had a Lemon Grove mimosa - champagne, the Botanist gin, Limoncello, bitters and lemonade. Very tasty. Three of our party had Corned Beef Hash & Eggs - hand-pulled, slow-braised corned beef & red potatoes & onions with eggs your way with choice of toast. They all raved about the dish. The corned beef was especially noteworthy and exceptional. My cousin-in-law had a drinks flight that included a bloody Mary, a mimosa, a screwdriver and a beer. Fun, but he did say the drinks were all strong. My cousin had a Blackberry Basil mimosa - champagne, basil syrup and pureed blackberries, which she liked and she likes very few alcoholic drinks. She also liked her waffle, hash browns and her side of bacon. All in all we enjoyed our experience and would definitely go back. Parking can be a challenge since it's right on Memorial Square.

The staff was excellent; our server was kind, thoughtful, and helpful. The parking lot was uneven and had potholes (I'd recommend getting those fixed as they are hard with wheelchairs and strollers.) We ordered brunch options and also had coffee. I ordered one of the omelets with the pancakes on the side, my companion ordered a delicious special (not on the menu) but it was really good. We ordered coffee and lingered for a while - the coffee was good. It was a very enjoyable visit and meal and we'd visit again. I really like their lifelong guarantees, printed on the menu. I recommend giving it a try.

I've eaten here many times and enjoyed it... this time I was quite disappointed! So the service was…read moreexcellent and our server was attentive. I decided to try something different and got the special Spanikopiomlette. Very disappointed! I have never had their omelettes before but it was really overcooked. Not fluffy at all! It was supposed to have feta in it and I could not taste the feta at all and the sauce on top was almost flavorless. It definitely looked better than it tasted. My son's eggs were also overcooked. The pancakes were delicious and my friend enjoyed her meal as well. It was really the eggs. I would usually say something bit I was with a friend and we were having a good time. I didn't want to spoil it.

This place is a perfect brunch spot sort of tucked away off the main drag... wasn't too crowded and…read morethe service was awesome! Kind waitress, genuine... goes a long way for me. Booths and tables weren't over the top fancy or anything but they were really clean. It makes you feel welcome and like you can take the whole family, unlike a lot of trendy breakfast stops in Racine these days. The food was accurately priced, super affordable and you get what you pay for. Simple breakfast... simply priced. I was hoping the chicken and waffles would have been better and the corn beef hash isn't highly recommended but both were just fine. I am looking forward to trying the breakfast scramblers next time we go. See you soon!

Check your bill before you pay or leave a tip!!! I handed…read morethe waitress 27 % tip, she said thank you. When I went to pay my bill there was a $16,89 add on. I asked her why? She told me when waiting on five people or more, there is an automatic 20% tip charge to the bill. She told me it is stated on the back of the menu. Who reads the back of the menu, when there is on menu on the back. I had a fit and she gave me back the $20 I gave her. Beware it's on the back of the menu and very very fine print. .

There is a specific outdoor waitress I'm thinking of while writing this...I'm not sure of her name because they don't wear nametags unfortunately. She seems to be in her 20s, has blonde long hair that is always up, average height, never smiles and always works Sundays. This waitress is straight up rude. I could give specific details, but there would be quite a selection of stories to tell. We go in to have a good time, eat some food, and relax on our last afternoon of sailing but this server dampens the mood. It's unfortunate there are typically only two servers on, otherwise I'd just request someone else. Late night is kinda cool, the bands are pretty good most of the time.
