    8oz filet with sautéed mushrooms. Baked potato is just out of the picture.

    You will simply never believe this place is as good as it is. You'll pull into the parking lot and swear you're at the wrong place. But, you're right where you want to be! You really need to call ahead. They aren't built for major dinner traffic but all I worry about is ME! The menu is simple. Steak, chicken ( I think) and tilapia. You're there for the steak. You have a choice of two steaks. Big and massive. The one you see is, I think, their eight ounce ; that's the small one. Get it medium rare. Get the sautéed mushrooms and baked potato. Oh, yeah ... and salad with the house dressing ( balsamic vinaigrette) You won't find a better steak anywhere and I've done steakhouses from San Francisco to Dallas to Denver, D.C., Boston, NYC, and more. Say hi to Richard, the owner and chef. He'll be by to be sure everything is right by you.

    Cool, crooner ambiance in the bar.

    Another HOME RUN steak by the Maples. Let me just comment on one of the other reviews... Someone criticized the price - $69 for a 16oz steak and $154 for a family of 3... and it "wasn't Downtown"... then criticized the restrooms.. First - let me get the laughter out of the way.. :'-D Let me ask you this: what is your average expense to drive from the south hills to a downtown steakhouse? Average distance, say, 20 Miles (oneway)?... 1) Gas (roundtrip): $15-20 2) Tolls (given you take 43): $5-7 3) Parking: $5-15 4) Burdon of Personal Time - 30-45min each way.. 1.5h total, conservatively, say $50 per couple.. 5) Intangible cost - DUI risk, babysitter, traffic ticket risk, stress of driving for 45min plus... etc Conservative Total: $75-92 per couple per TRIP to the City! NOT EVEN INCLUDING ANYTHING REGARDING DINNER! And you're complaining about the best overall streak dinner in all of the tristate area costing $69 per head (salad and giant baked potato included!)? WOW... you're clearly well thought out... :) Grow up my friend... maybe the illusion to you of eating in "the city" is this amazing thing and well worth that cost... but take it from someone who has lived years in each of New York City, Chicago, Miami, Boston, Hartford, and Providence... You are not going tonight find a better "Good Old Boys" steakhouse anywhere.. The fact that there are only 3-5 things on the menu is a GOOD THING! That = quality and consistency... (get your redneck out of your b-hole)... and as far as the restrooms - what, are you going to do? shit? shave? shower? OR to have an effin STEAK?? Priorities my friend! If you don't want it to BE THE VALLEY anymore? Then STOP MAKING IT THE VALLEY... go somewhere else to eat shitty fried food and garbage over-cooked skirt steak for cents on the dollar... Trust me, you are not wanted at the Maples anyway!

    Simply put...out of this world. Started with the crab stuffed mushrooms...all crab and no filler. Next the mixed green salad with ranch...mmmm. Then on to the meat! My strip steak was cooked to perfection and was juicy and delicious...no salt or sauce necessary. My wife got the filet and have never seen a more perfectly cooked filet. Forget wasting your time going to Morton's or Ruth's Chris...make your next steak the maples and be prepared to be amazed!

    16oz with mushrooms and onions

    Absolutely without a doubt the best steak I've ever eaten!!!! No Bullsh_t ... the best.... A 16oz filet with a must order side of sautéed mushrooms.. Old school vibe and decor, but a must try. Rich.. the chef and owner is a great person and delivers a steak experience like no other... When in the Mon Valley area do yourself a solid and stop in.

    16oz Filet. Absolutely amazing

    The Maples in Charleroi PA is by far my favorite restaurant. The staff are the nicest people you could ever ask for. They make you feel like family and that to me means just as much as having amazing food. The quality of the food at The Maples is top notch. The crab stuffed mushrooms have the most amazing taste and I still can not find any other restaurant to compare. The jumbo shrimp were so fresh it felt as if they were right from the ocean to my plate. The filet by far is the best steak you will ever have in your life. I have been to The Capital Grill, Morton's, Ruth Chris, The Georgetown, and numerous other places. None can come close to comparing to the perfectly cooked, seasoned and flavor of the Filet at The Maples. I drive over and hour each month just for this experience and it is completely worth it. The Maples is a small family owned business with a giant heart. If you want amazing food at a great price then the drive is completely worth it. Very highly recommended.

    This is an old school,throwback steakhouse. The steaks are huge,and the drinks are stiff! We tried this place on a recommendation and we were not disappointed! Depending where your from,it's a little out of the way,but so worth the drive! We had the crab appetizer, filet and ny strip,salad,baked potato,and lemon cake. All get 5 stars. Servers were professional and attentive. The chef came by the table as well. If your looking for a steakhouse,the maples can go toe to toe with the best of them..

    Fresh lump crab meat. So good!

    Step back in time, here in this small town of Charleroi. I kid you not when I say it was one of the best steaks I have eaten. The owners, Mr and Mrs Umble took care of us the entire night. Great service, love the odd vintage ambiance... And really, the food is top notch. You pay for what you get. Love love love!

    This was the most delicious meal i have ever had!! The steak melts in your mouth!!!

    See all

    The side of sautéed mushrooms is a must - they're so buttery and rich; the perfect side to the steak.

    More like 3.5. I really wish Yelp allowed half stars. We…read morewere hungry after an event in the area and decided to give this place a try. There is a small parking lot on the side of the building but there is also a lot of street parking available. It was pretty crowded but we were seated quickly. There was booth and table seating and the way the booths are set up they felt fairly private. There were also high top tables. It was pretty loud (which would be expected when it was as crowded as it was). The menu is pretty extensive with a wide variety of choices. Everything from chicken fingers to steaks. They were out of several things the night we were there. As I mentioned, it was busy, but it was still early enough that I wouldn't have anticipated it would have been an issue. So we had to pivot and make changes to what was ordered. My daughter had a steak and she thought it was delicious. It was tender and cooked well. Service was slow and spotty. Again, they were busy, but we had to ask several times for things like water refills. And our server took part of the order wrong, so one of the entrees came out wrong. Because of how long everything took to get, we just took it as is. There were no apologies, just "we're really busy" (yes, I know that). Overall, we had an enjoyable meal and will likely be back. Hopefully on a quieter night.

It reminds me of an old school mom and pop place - there's a u-shaped bar when you walk in the door with some tables around to the left and a small room to your right with additional tables. It was pretty clear when we walked in that it's a local favorite - we felt like everyone knew we were not local. But that dissipated quickly when a waitress greeted us and took us to a table. They were quite busy on a Friday evening, but the service was relatively quick once we got started. My daughter got the pierogies and I ordered the filet. Each of our meals came with a side salad - and let me tell you, that "side" salad could have been a meal itself. Not only was it large, it was a good variety of veggies and black olives. My daughter also ordered a side of meatballs and they were just okay - there was something about the taste and texture that neither of us liked nor could we pinpoint what was turning us off exactly. They almost tasted stale. The pierogies were delicious, including the browned onions. My filet had a nice sear and was cooked medium rare as I ordered, but it has a bit of an oily coating that was a little off putting. The flavor was good, but I prefer my steak with a little seasoning. The asparagus was overcooked and mushy, but the baked potato was massive and cooked to perfection. The amount of food you get is substantial. I'd definitely go back and try some other menu options or get the pierogies again!
