The menu means towards middle-American classics: turkey sandwiches, meatloaf, pork chops, etc. The twist? There's a maple-syrup theme snuck in wherever it can go. The glaze on the baby carrots, on the pork chops, on the chicken breast? Yes! Maple! The service is skilled and efficient, the people-watching unparalleled, and the portions are enormous for the listed price. Figure two meals for the listed price, and it seems a better deal! Limited wine and beer list; gift shop on premises for maple syrup and jams as souvenirs.

Our meal started out with side salad with vinaigrette, dinner rolls, mini muffins and butter. Next came our turkey dinner that included both dark and white meat, mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, carrots & cranberry sauce. The portions are extra large & my to go container looked like I didn't touch my meal. Then came dessert and as full as I was I still had to try some. It was warm apple pie that was excellent! Our service was great, water glasses were full & there was a coffee carafe on the table. The waitress came around with decaf coffee and to see if there was anything else someone needed to drink. The place is cute and family friendly. You enter through a long driveway and pass a pond that has carved bear statue's fishing before reaching the ample parking lot. Cute little gift shop at the front of the restaurant , I always get syrup & have previously bought their syrup and pancake gift sets for presents.

Guess who got greeted first, the other table. Our server was lovely, after a while. She started off slow, but then she perked up. Sadly she never gave us her name, I finally got it when she set the check down. I had the double cheeseburger and lord it was good. My only concern was the side. I asked for the Caesar salad and when it sat down, it was a kale Caesar salad. I don't eat kale but our server took care of it. The restaurant has a great vibe and very friendly. The tables were close but far enough that you could hear murmurs of conversations, but nit what was actually being said.

It's definitely got a polished casual, wine bar sort of vibe to it so you can pretty much dress however you want. It's not the normal sort of place you'd go to for breakfast necessarily, but it was open and my friends swore by it. My kids got hot chocolates and the adults all got Irish coffees. The hot chocolates were decadent and delicious without being scorching hot. PERFECT for the kids! My friends loved their Irish coffees as their typical go-to. I like my coffee a bit on the sweeter/creamier side and this wasn't really it with a bit of that coffee bitterness still coming through that was a bit of a turnoff for me. That's just me and my personal taste though, so take it with a grain of salt. My kids shared a French toast with blueberries (no kids menu available, it seems) and it was HUGE. They will usually pound an adult portion of anything between the two of them and even this was too much. There were 2 extra thick slices to start and there was easily a half slice left, enough to fill a small to-go box up pretty solid. I got the burrito which came topped with salsa (ranchero) and cheddar cheese plus a side of shredded hash browns. The hash browns were half crispy and half limp but still quite tasty. The burrito itself was a good size though not enormous. While nothing mind blowing, especially for the $19 price tag, it was a solid meal overall. One of my friends got the lobster eggs benedict special and said it was life-changing. It was $24 and came with a massive hunk of lobster meat. For a $3 charge over the standard benedict, that's a steal and smartly priced for a good heaping of lobster. Getting the food out seemed to take a little bit of time, but the server was good about checking in on us throughout and the other staff we spoke to were also very friendly. Overall, a solid experience. Definitely paying a little bit extra for the ambience and ski resort town, but I'd still come back to check out the lunch and dinner offerings for sure!

It was really tasty with some thinly sliced apple. Served with plain chips (sigh) and a pickle. Really good lunch. They make a wonderful latte - even better enjoyed at the restaurant in one of their big mugs. So flavorful. The desserts look like they are TO DIE FOR - large slices of cake, cookies, on and on. I always have just barely enough will power to not get these freshly baked goods. (Argh!) Wish they made fresh-brewed iced tea for hot summer days. I truly hate sugary bottled tea. All in all - a cute little cafe with a lot of heart and solid sandwich game.

They have a variety of mixed breakfast drinks, smoothies and breakfast food. I got 2 eggs, homefries, bacon and toast. My wife got a sausage breakfast burrito. The food was honestly really great! We also got coffee but refills were hard to come by. Our server was working hard, so I don't blame him, but the place was just too chaotic. Since this is a tourist destination with frequent surges in population these issues shouldn't exist. Your sit down breakfast options in town are limited so give it a try!

You know you're close when your phone goes into SOS mode and you fully commit to pancakes & maple syrup as a survival plan! I learned something new on this visit. We were initially shown to a table, but since only 3 of our 4 party members had arrived, we were asked to return to the lobby until everyone was present. The server assured us that once our fourth arrived, we'd be seated with the next available table, and that's exactly what happened. It gave us a few extra moments to watch pancakes methodically and continuously be poured, flipped and served from the griddle. We had the chance to sit in the original dining room, which features beautiful hand-painted murals. The booth cushions are well worn from years of use, adding to the charm and nostalgia of the space. The room itself felt bright, warm, and inviting. Service from Michelle was prompt and friendly, even with the steady pace of the restaurant. We ordered three AYCE pancake and sausage plates, coffees, a kids' pancake, and a maple milkshake. Pro tip: skip sugar and add maple syrup to your coffee. Trust me! Whether you're visiting with a few family members or bringing a large group, the Maple Tree Inn is a place full of memories, tradition, and perfectly maple-infused breakfasts. Remember to bring along cash or a check since digital payment is not an option. And mark your calendar for next season because they are only open for 2 months each year between February through April, while the sap is flowing. Looking forward to their 65th season next year in 2027!
