    I can no longer recommend this restaurant, as my previous last visits have not been very good. The service has gone DOWN-HILL.. The food has become average, with no reason for me to keep returning. The servers here are starting to be slow, and treat you as a nuisance to them, while expecting you to get your food, and get out, while expecting you to GIVE them a large TIP, for poor service. It's a shame because it used to be a good place, but then, nothing lasts forever. Save your money and time. Hopefully a new spot with better service will come along soon.

    Went a few weeks ago on a Sunday, it was busy but was seated quickly at the diner bar area. We were HUNGRY and went full on to the HUGE Skirt steak and eggs for breakfast. Accompanied by hash browns and buttered toast, also ordered a cup of cream of chicken soup, coffee and fresh squeezed OJ. Best skirt steak I’ve had in a lonnng time. It was cooked perfectly and extremely juicy and tender. Everything was fantastic! We enjoyed our BIG BOY breakfast and service was excellent. It was my first time at Maple n Jams and will definitely be a returning customer :)

    Sorry to see the staff so overworked with help not returning. Great food again.... Apple cinnamon stuffed French toast, Country skillet, Country omelet. The Country gravy with both tastes great. The remodeled inside looks great.

    Must try this place! Their toasts are delicious. We were catered by Michelle. She is amazing, wonderful and very considerate. My sister ordered omeletee and forgot to order without mushrooms. Michelle took no time to come with the new omelette without mushrooms. This is going beyond and above. Excellent customer service and very friendly staff! Highly recommended! 🙂

    Maple N Jams is always a friendly environment. Staff is very kind. Food is delicious!!!! Prices are reasonable for today's economy. They even have sugar free syrup and a bomb vegetable omelette... The potatoes are yummy. The kids enjoyed the jumbo sausages and my sister cleaned her plate ... Definitely check them out. I can't remember my waiters name I want to say Michelle but I think I'm wrong... I'll find receipt and update later.

    Okay, don’t pass an opportunity to eat here. My wife and I grew up in this area. We traveled in for a family wedding and wanted to grab some breakfast. OMG from the moment we walked in we were warmly welcome. Our waitress Corie was absolutely amazing and would have never known it was her first day. The food was DELICIOUS and served quickly. I can’t say enough about the management and quality of the experience. Michelle one of the managers even stopped by to make sure our experience was truly exceptional. Treat yourself to this place and request Corie you won’t be disappointed

    Delicious food and great service. Our waitress Michelle was welcoming and attentive. She’s amazing with children. I love how Michelle acknowledge my niece when ordering instead of asking me. My niece definitely felt like a big girl. I really enjoyed that moment.

    Maple N Jams Cafe is a superb dining experience. Went there and had breakfast. You can also do lunch. Ok, I had the Country Fried steak ( there's also chicken) with sausage gravy biscuits, potatoes, eggs and some rye toast. Wifey had some delicious Cream cheese stuffed bananas foster french toast. Thanks Michelle for your advice for meal choices. Great food!

    Went here unexpectedly with my expecting daughter after picking her up from the airport and we both enjoyed the food and service. It was pretty busy (as it seems to always be), and our wait time was about 20 minutes. Once seated, we probably had our food just as timely, like 20 minutes. The menu includes both breakfast and lunch options. She chose a personified skillet and I opted for the egg white omelette with a twist and we both had pancakes. Both meals were tasty and filling and I had leftovers. The restaurant is small for the customer base and the space is tight, especially when waiting for a table. Overall good stuff and on the "go again' list!

    Very busy place, but very organized the wait time is not long at all, and of course, the food is delicious. Definitely our new favorite breakfast place.

    If you're looking for great food and a small town atmosphere, this is the place to go! We went for the first time after driving by almost weekly since moving to the area. The food was exquisite and well worth the portions. The staff was friendly, welcoming and very attentive from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. The atmosphere was decorated for Halloween with the theme music to accompany.

    It was a great experience up until the last second. We sat immediately, and the server was very fast, polite, and attentive. The food was delicious and I'd come back. It was freezing indoors, but i suspect it was because the day before was really hot. It would've been nice if that was fixed before opening. What I did not like was when I was leaving after payment at the front, the lady handed my receipt and started giving me a speech about not bringing outdoor beverages like Starbucks in the restaurant. It was said kind of rudely, and I just told her that this plastic cup (not branded) was given to me here. It was my iced vanilla latte. That was the truth, and it was not great to leave the restaurant that way after such a great experience.

    I used to live in the Near North but hadn't been back to Chicago in over a decade. Got Portillo's, Lou's - the usual stuff. Last day on the way to the airport decided to try this spot because of the cute name and good reviews. This was the best meal of the trip and honestly the best french toast (Donut French Toast with strawberries and whipped cream) I've ever had in my life. The adorable woman who sat us and our server Donna made the experience perfect. Heads up to those who may be sensitive to noise - it's loud on a busy Saturday morning, but nothing too unpleasant.

    I took my son for his birthday. He's typically not impressed with food that isn't pizza. However, he is a big fan of breakfast fare. He enjoyed the two different plates he chose. We both enjoyed our meals. Our server was very nice and friendly. Will definitely come back again!

    Absolutely our FAVORITE breakfast place. We go there every weekend. Staff is extremely nice and professional. Food is DELICIOUS! 10/10 recommend ❤️

  • 3/5 Steven K. 2 years ago on Google
    I did not eat the food to be clear. I didn't even stay to be seated. I hear the food is excellent in the service is good. But the close proximity of everyone sitting and eating was disturbing during covid. Yes it is a very small restaurant, But then come up with clever ideas for dividers. You could literally be sitting shoulder to shoulder with a stranger who's chewing with their mouth open and spitting. Food for thought. We left to another restaurant that was properly divided.

    We didnt know what to expect. We thought it was going to be a small cafe/coffee shop from the name. Turned out to be a full service diner. Loved the food, service and atmosphere.

    I ordered the banana nut bread french toast. It was nasty so I didn't eat it. I should have sent it back. When I got home, I was about to give them to my son until I noticed hairs baked into the bread. How can you serve this to customers? I want a full refund.

    It was my first time in here yesterday and let me tell you, as soon as you walk in they treat you so nicely and like family. Just like I would if I had guests. Only problem was the cashier was a little bit unprofessional but the food was fantastic. So delicious 😋 I will be back again , thank you

    Just ate here today with my fiance! The food is so delicious. I got the country eggs Benedict and the eggs were cooked very well and the biscuits were buttery and delicious. Our server Donna was super nice and friendly and she made sure our coffee cups were full. I would love to come back and try more dishes on their menu. The portions are decent and we left extremely full! Also the interior of this place is warm and cozy and they are all decorated for Christmas!

    The French Toast and Crepes were delicious.😋 Our server, Michelle, is always super friendly and social with my sister and I when we dine there. 🙂

  • 5/5 Natalie F. 2 years ago on Google
    We came in on a very busy morning and they were all so pleasant to us the entire stay. The service was excellent and food delivery (even though the whole inside of the restaurant was packed) was incredibly fast and delicious. I try to order something new every time I come and I haven't been disappointed yet. Highly recommend this place for early breakfast or even brunch to anyone. Even though we came in an hour to closing time, we never felt rushed. They even sat an entire family down few minutes to closing the doors. We will most definitely continue coming back and telling our other friends about this place! Their food is a must-try! You won't regret it.

    Great service from hostess to waitress! Excellent varieties including choices for those that do not eat pork such as myself. I had the Philly steak skillet with feta 😋 my Mom had an omelet with country ham. She also tried the pecan pancakes 🥞 😋! This was our 1st time and I definitely will be back.

  • 5/5 Reggie D. 1 year ago on Google
    The Ranchero skillet had eggs, bits of chorizo, half of avocado, sauteed potatoes, peppers, and a spicy ranchero sauce. But what sets the restaurant apart is it's friendly and helpful waitresses.

  • 5/5 jessica c. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely recommend this restaurant for everyone :) Outstanding service, quality food, tidy atmosphere, and reasonable prices! Today was my 3rd time at Maple N Jams, and I am pleased to say this is my new favorite breakfast & lunch restaurant! Donna, the waitress, nicely served my delicious Monte Cristo sandwich. 10/10 love it

    What a great spot for a Sunday breakfast! My daughter in Oak Park found a place to meet my son traveling from Indiana to Nebraska, so we drove down from Milwaukee for a mini family reunion! Super convenient location and amazing fresh and delicious selections! We enjoyed the veggie skillet, the healthy omelet, and the gyro skillet. Generous servings with delicious pancakes on the side - including their yummy red velvet pancakes with honey cream cheese and whipped cream, an indulgent treat. Our coffee mugs were always filled hot and fresh by Michelle, our friendly and efficient server. Overall a gem of a hot spot, with warm hospitality, outstanding service and a bountiful breakfast. We highly recommend Maple N Jams! Thank you!
