    Still going great, where consistency is the hallmark of this place, maybe not the greatest…read morebreakfast foods, but pretty darn good! Always has been served hot, that's another signature of the Waffle shop. The wait staff is friendly and attentive and even when busy you get served in a more than reasonable manner. I say all this after two years of patronage, comprising around 20-25 visits. Of course you'll be emerged in nostalgic ambiance of the brick buildings in old downtown Lincoln. This lends to an entertaining morning stroll to the door of the Waffle Shop. I especially like parking in the old 1930s era garage, couple doors down, in the middle of the block... that is if you're lucky enough to get a spot! it's a little small (mind you, era 1930s) but it's worth checking out. So bon appetite! Enjoy breakfast at the Waffle Shop, where you'll get a hot cup of coffee, a full belly and a smile in your step!

    I belong to the Lincoln Business Networking Group and we meet at The Waffle Shop every Friday…read moremorning. It is a perfect spot for large meetings as they have an upstairs area that accommodates a lot of people and gives a little privacy for a meeting. Every week we have 15-20 people here and the restaurant is on top of it. Our meeting is 1 hour long exactly, and they are able to take our orders, deliver our food, and clear the tables and we still have time before our hour is up. Kelly usually takes care of us and is absolutely amazing. She remembers what everyone's favorite meals are, is extremely personable, and her service is top notch. We thought she would be the only one that could handle a group our size, but last week she was out and we had the pleasure of being served by Jennifer, and she did not disappoint. She stepped in and took care of us like she had been waiting on us for months. Very impressive! I have not heard any complaint about the food from our group either. Everyone orders something different and everyone is always pleased. Portions are substantial, flavors are great, and everything is cooked to perfection. My personal favorites are the California Benedict, the Chicken and Waffles, and the Chorizo Scramble. The ownership and staff are amazing and I highly recommend this place. We enjoy it so much I even bring my daughter here for breakfast on the weekends.

In my opinion, the restaurant could use some remodeling and general updates. The structure feels a little dated, and there are small details that stand out if you're paying attention. The mimosa flights are what seem to draw a big crowd. They're cute and very aesthetic, which I think is part of the appeal. Some of them can be on the sweeter side, so if you enjoy fruity, sweet drinks, you'll probably love them. As for the food, it just hasn't been my favorite. I've tried several items over multiple visits because friends enjoy going there. The chicken and waffles were okay, nothing special. The omelet was decent but not memorable. I tried the chilaquiles once and wouldn't order them again. They were very heavy on the sauce for my taste. I also found some items like the hash browns a bit too greasy, the fries are three large wedges, not my favorite. On the positive side, most of the servers I've had have been friendly and attentive, and the bathrooms have always been clean, which I appreciate. Overall, Maple Bar Cafe may be a great fit if you love sweet brunch options and fun mimosa flights. It just isn't my personal go-to spot, but I can see why others enjoy it.
