Came for a recent brunch - looks like they have revamped this location since I last came which was many years ago Very busy but fast service and food came out fast and fresh and hot I got the strawberry pancakes not realizing how big the order was but it was delicious Endless coffee refills too

My favorite breakfast spot in the area. The staff are always nice and no matter how busy they get, the place always feels clean and welcoming. The waiting area could be bigger but overall a decent size and I love how you can get free self-pour coffee as you wait by the front. So many pancake flavors to try but my top 2 are pumpkin or chocolate chip! The bacon here is the best but they also have chicken patties or turkey links options. They also have ketchup or a selection of hot sauce to try if you like. Pro-tip: RSVP or get in the waitlist online- it helps a lot, especially on the weekend there is always a waitlist/line.

I have been to this location twice. Like all of their other locations this place is clean and very busy. If you want to eat here on the weekends come early. We came at 6:30 am and there were people there but the morning rush had not started. Love their presentation in the menu of all of their pancake options. What sort of scared me is all of the calories listed. That's probably why they call it guilty pleasures. Their pancakes and breakfast are pretty delicious and looked amazing . I didn't feel like something too decadent this morning and went simple with a 2 x 4 with gas browns. Still a lot of food and very delicious. Sometimes simple is best. If you're looking for breakfast this place never disappoints.

Solid choice for breakfast lovers. Good food, vibes, and service! FOOD: well done breakfast food. I enjoyed their egg dishes, toast, and brewed iced tea! Highly recommend. PARKING: pretty easy SERVICE: expect a wait unless you find a spot at the bar. The service was very great though. The servers are knowledgeable and were attentive. AMBIANCE: a good classic brunch vibe spot! Bright and cheery. Medium loudness. Overall, I highly recommend.

We be back soon. Thank you all

Be be back soon ;)

Cowboy omeletts
Stephanie P.

Solid breakfast choice is Maple Grove. This place is always busy, so reservation atr highly recommended, especially on the weekends. They use good quality ingredients but food is very basic in taste, hence the 3 stars. We got the cowboy omelette. Its a souffle style omelette, so very fluffy. This isn't my favorite type of omelette texture wise. Lots of meat and cheese, covered in sausage gravy. As with all their food though, it needed seasoning. We also got the eggs benedict. The eggs were cooked nicely and the hashbrowns had a nice onion taste to them. Again, pretty bland though, needed some seasoning. It doesn't seem like they even use the basic salt and pepper when they cook, which could go a very long way in helping the taste of the food here. Prices are pretty expensive consideringits just breakfast. We paid $64 with tax and tip for 2 eggs benedict and 1 cowboy omelette. We didn't get any coffee or drinks, just water. Service is always good here. Staff is friendly.

Raspberry French toast. So good!!

The food here is phenomenal! Always hot and fresh, great flavor. And so many great choices on the menu, it's hard to pick just one option! I love that you can order an omelette and still get a side of specialty pancakes. I cannot recommend this place enough! The service is always phenomenal as well, they go above and beyond, and always ensure you are well taken care of. Restaurant is cozy, clean and comfortable.

Cinnamon Bun Pancakes - Full Order (6)

Pancakes were so buttery. They gave us a free Apple Soufle because they had extra. Normally I don't like apple flavored things the apple was my favorite. We also had bacon, eggs, oatmeal and fruit everything was hot and fresh!

Butter plate including homemade caramel
Paige K.

Honestly super impressed with this location! It's crazy busy all the time but you can join the waitlist online. I've gone twice now and was pleased both time. I got the ham and eggs with egg whites plus upgraded pancakes. First time I got the banana bread aka griddle cakes with cane with a homemade caramel and they were delicious! Way too much powdered sugar though so I scraped that off. My husband got the bacon and eggs with potato pancakes. Nice thick bacon and the potato pancakes surprised me, they were super tasty. The second time he got the corned beef hash with egg whites and the 49er pancakes, also both very tasty! He was happy. He did get a biscuit side to try but we weren't super impressed with that. Everything else including the service was great! Will def come again.

Stopped in on a Saturday evening and had a great experience. We ordered the Prime Rib and it was…read moretasty. The outer crust spice rub was excellent and the meat was beautifully marbled. Salad was good and the house blue cheese dressing is good. Baked potato done for easy eating and the insides were soft and flavorful. Hot dinner rolls too. Service was excellent and they even had a group of 40 in the back room. Ambiance is old time supper club. The value for the money is good. Give this place a try!

This review is going to be difficult to write because I have such mixed feelings. My last rating…read morewas a five-star review and parts of my wife's and I experience merit another five stars, but parts of the same experience merit a one-star. And that makes it difficult! Let's start with the positive... Their prime rib continues to be fantastic. It's meaty, flavorful, and juicy. After having some prime rib specials at other restaurants, I can really see that they quality varies. In addition, Dehn's dinner comes with excellent Parker-house rolls and butter, cup of au jus, and a baked potato -- all of which is good. It also comes with soup or salad. Their Beef Barley soup is one of the best version of beef barley soup that I've ever had. It's loaded with ingredients, the broth has a deep flavor and I have always enjoyed their version of it. So far, this is five star territory. However, on to the not so good... I ordered the prime rib medium rare and it was clearly medium to medium well done. Honestly, if you want medium rare, medium well done is a big disappointment. I asked the waitress for a more rare piece and when she returned she told me that the chef said the piece I got was from the center of the roast and was the rarest piece they had. Although they took $8 off the price, it was not a great experience and the meat just could have been much more juicy and tasty if they had cooked it properly. But there is more. My wife order the fried chicken and for the third time in a row, they said they didn't have it. (Dehn's, if you don't carry it, either take it off the menu or tell your guests about it before they order). My wife went with the grilled chicken breast, which arrived looking like and tasting like either a frozen piece of chicken, or a bad airline meal (for those of you who can remember that). It was really tasteless and dry. In addition to all of that, we waited 15 minutes to be seated in the nearly empty restaurant because (we were told) they were short staffed. In fact, there seemed to be one waitress and one kitchen staff person for the restaurant. Service was slow (although friendly by the person who wasn't really a waitress). So what's up with Dehn's? The area around the restaurant is turning from farm land to housing. The hours of the restaurant have been cut severely and they are now only open for dinner on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights. My gut tells me that they are "caretaking" the restaurant and that although they have been open since 1958, I doubt they are going to see 2028.

There is a kids outdoor playground which is amazing to sit and watch the kids play! There are also beach volleyball courts. There is a fun kids menu where you can upgrade your dessert to a classic Sponge Bob ice cream popsicle. The adult menu is large with lots of options. They have plenty of beer options but also cocktails and wine. Love this as a patio option! Service was fast and attentive. Lots of staff to help out each other on a busy night

I was a regular at The Lookout before this, and have easily spent thousands of dollars at this establishment, but I will literally NEVER go back. The bartender wouldn't allow us to sign our own tab, so she signed it herself right In front of us, which as far as I know is illegal. Maple Grove has so many options, and this is easily the worst customer experience that I have ever had. GO ANYHERE other than this place. The waitress will yell at you, call your entire group liars, and then kick you out for being upset about it. If you want to be treated for trash, even if you are a regular and tip over 30% every time, the this is the place for you.
