The food was great. I can't wait to go back and try something else on the menu. The biscuits are as delicious as everyone says they are!

An unassuming spot that always hits the spot with both sweet and savory breakfast choices

Great coffee , bigger than your head light, fluffy pancakes , eggs , and sausage patties . Super crispy bacon ! Yummy & get their loyalty card :)

Best time to come is during the week. Fast service . Great atmosphere. The lemon raspberry pancakes are heavenly.

Leaving this casual breakfast spot without trying the pancakes would be a sin. 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday. Read more

Try the pancakes at Sweet Maple . They've been voted among the best (#1) in the city . But don't neglect the catfish and eggs on Fridays, or the egg and cheeser with country sausage . Don't wait!

The Sweet Maple special alone is meal and then some. The biscuits are bigger that my fist. The home fries are just like Mom's.

Share a table! You meet awesome people & get in quicker! Fantastic food really good service . I will be back :)

Oatmeal was very moist and good. Bacon is too crispy for my taste. Southern breakfast . Tiny in the inside.

I didn't have to wait at all :) Wonderful food! I'm from SC & I love that I can get grits in Chicago!!!

The pancake - checked, the omelet with homefries and biscuit - checked. The surprise: No check for me, coz I sat on 11th table on its 11th anniversary! Happy bday guys and big thank you!

Excellent breakfast . Killer biscuits . Bring your own soy or almond milk .
