Maize Restaurant

Shared a wonderful meal with friends from Doylestown last night. The attention to detail is second to none. Starting with the warm bread to start with honey butter up until the final dessert — every course was stellar. The smoked brisket ravioli was a show stopper for me personally. It’s great to see a family working together and watching Matt, MJ & Liam working alongside each other was great! Our server Carl did a fantastic job as well. We are planning a return visit very soon!

I am eating here at the moment. The service is amazing. The food is delicious. The chefs are absolute rock stars. My wife and I ran out of red wine and they brought us some more out of the personal stash on the house. One of the chefs brought me out extra bison. Highly recommend. They are AMAZING.

We went for my birthday dinner mid-June. I had heard nothing but rave reviews from several friends. I am a cook, and admittedly difficult when I eat out. First of all it was packed and extremely noisy. We had a very loud table next to us, unfortunately. We did the tasting menu with wines for this special dinner. I have to admit that the quality of the food was outstanding, with tremendous effort and attention to the food, but absolutely nothing that night wowed us. I know that the menu changes regularly so it might have been just the selection that night, but not one dish had those really exciting flavors i look for when I eat out. The sauces lacked herbs or just that special punch. Everything was very good. Nothing was exceptional, except for the quality, but i cook that same quality local meats and fresh vegetables regularly at home. The scone at the beginning was delightful, but I didn’t want to fill up on bread with this big dinner coming. The popcorn had almost no flavor. The bison was very tender. The fish was cooked perfectly but nothing had any special, memorable flavors. The service was excellent. Everyone tried very hard but it unfortunately fell short for me.

My husband and I went here for our Anniversary. Our experience was incredible from start to finish. It is such a cute, quaint intimate place. Our service and food was impeccable by Matt, Breanna, MJ and Austin. Everything we had was spectacular not only the presentation but the freshness and the flavor of the ingredients was delicious. If you want a unique and amazing night out do not hesitate to go here!

I tried the 4 course menu a year ago and it was good. But left me wanting more. This time we did the 8 course for my wife’s birthday and it was wow (in a good way). We have eaten numerous tasting menus in the US, UK, and Canada and this was top 3 as far as memorable. The signed birthday card at the end was a nice touch. Dessert was the most memorable part, As it should be, but each course (plus some bonus courses) were carefully orchestrated culinary art. Service was prime with both the FOH and BOH explaining each course. You can see the kitchen from the dining room which adds a bit of a live show to the experience. The only 2 critiques is that it does get loud, but hey, the place used to be a house. Also, the chairs could be more comfortable for a 3 hour experience. But overall, everything was wonderful. It is certainly worth your next special occasion or if you are looking for a local culinary experience without the drive to Philly or NYC.

Maize was incredible. Every course was delicious. Fine dining at its best. Be prepared for a long meal. It takes time for quality to come out and it’s worth the wait. Bring some wine, it’s BYOB too! The bison was my favorite dish. It was out of this world.

Food is excellent! Everything is super fresh. Some commenters say the food doesn't have much flavor, but once you understand where the chef is coming from, the subtlety of the flavors is what makes the place different. In a very good way. Our party of 4 was in a room upstairs, so we didn't experience the noise issues others have mentioned.

Absolutely the best meal I've ever had. Thank you for making our evening amazing! The food is phenomenal and the service is Top Notch! If you have not been, make a reservation ASAP!

We returned to Maize on October 10, 2025 for the early seating (530pm) four-course tasting again. It was another outstanding dining experience. The evening started perfectly with their signature homemade biscuit, followed by the chive popcorn. For the courses, we enjoyed a prawn, then a rich and tender beef cheek with Brussels sprouts, a beautifully cooked dayboat halibut, and finally duck. We ended on a sweet note with a refreshing sorbet and then a warm apple cake paired with homemade cinnamon ice cream. If you noticed, its more than 4 courses with a few kitchen additions! Every dish was delicious and expertly prepared. The Maize staff once again worked seamlessly in tandem, serving each course at just the right pace -- never rushed, never slow. We've probably dined here close to a dozen times over the years. Each visit has had exceptional food, courteous service, and a great vibe. From start to finish we spent 2 hours at Maize. Well worth the time & money! Highly recommend Maize for anyone who appreciates creative, well-executed food in a warm and inviting setting. We will be back!!!

This restaurant hands down is one of the most imaginative and culinarily superb meals I have had in a long time . Kudos to the team behind the glass wall that you get to watch prepare your meal in the small 2 seatings a night gem . Chef prepares a 4 course tasting menu that differs depending on local availability of ingredients . The meal started with a few amuse bouches that wet the appetite but the stars of the meal unfolded in the next 4 courses . Please check out these website to see previous tasting meals to capture a glimpse of their cooking . On the night we were there we had gorgeous shrimp and grits , perfectly cooked steak over a melange of vegs that were sautéed and some were purée to make a fantastic accompaniment to the rare meat . Desert was a polenta tea cake with lemon ice cream and whipping cream all sitting in a wonderful cream sauce . Ive simplified the menu but it was so much more nuanced with flavors and spices . I can't say loud enough that getting reservation to Maize is like getting a golden ticket . We were also very impressed with the waitstaff and their commitment to communicating the chefs vision.

Absolutely exceptionally fabulous service. In this restaurant, you definitely make reservations and let them know you were food restrictions in advance. One of my friends couldn't eat red meat. So the restaurant accommodated her. You just sit and chat with your friends the chef surprises you with something wonderful that he made . It was fun and it was so exciting . It's like you kept being delivered a little precious nourishing gift ! For example, the soup was delivered in such an adorable pottery piece. Each piece of dishware was like art, and it was such a wonderfully cooked food item . So flavorful and so amazing. I loved everything so much. It's hard to pick a favorite! I'm gonna say that the salmon was so fantastic and one of the other items had kombucha pumpkin with some sort of maple sauce and it was so magnificent and delightful. It ended with a smile ... and a smiling chocolate chip cookie! I smiled the entire evening . I really enjoyed my time here and I look forward to coming back ! The ambience was so charming.

Every course was creative and perfectly done, and the extra courses were a perfect complement to the "4 course menu" the chef presented. We also shared in the reservation that we were visiting to celebrate an anniversary and the staff presented us with an anniversary card signed by everyone, what a nice touch!

The BEST meal! We did the 8 course option and not a single one disappointed. They even threw in some surprise extra courses so it really turned out to be 11ish courses. The chef even asked us if we were still hungry before the dessert came just to make sure we were satisfied! The level of service is just impeccable. The wait staff was awesome too. So attentive and informative about each course. The open kitchen concept is awesome; you can see how much work and dedication goes into each dish! We can't wait to come back.

Service was excellent. Chef took time to say hello and the waiter took time to explain each dish.

Took a friend to Maize to celebrate her birthday. It was pure perfection. This is a foodie's dream restaurant. Chef Matthew knows food and delivers. All fresh and all local. All made in house. The waitstaff loves to talk food and the meal with you. We started with an oxtail ravioli and it was amazing, it was served with local wild mushrooms that were foraged nearby. Next we had fresh swordfish, caught that morning. Cooked perfectly. Lastly we had warm gingerbread cake made with real ginger. So delicious for a holiday dessert. Service is always friendly and impeccable.

So delish here! If you've never done a tasting, this is the place to go! Our 3 course meal was mouthwatering and delicious! Farm to table ingredients with a Hell's Kitchen view. Staff were informative, helpful, accommodating and cheerful! We had the Buffalo ravioli, cod over lobster crème sauce and mussels. Our desserts were a rose Pinot noir sorbet and mixed other pieces. We will definitely be back for the larger tastings! Great experience, gluten free accommodations and small town feel!

Great vibe and tasty food and cocktails! A fun place to meet friends for a night out.

We came in from South Lake Tahoe looking for a good local dining experience and hit the lottery. We couldn't believe the food at Maize in the small Pennsylvania town of Perkasie. I should have photographed each of the 4 courses because they were so beautiful and tasted divine! My husband and I haven't had an experience like this in a while!!! Delicious, great atmosphere and lovely vibe. We'll be back and highly recommend Maize!

This restaurant is a gem. The experience changes every time you go. By experience I mean the food you are presented. The service is always top notch. The food is extraordinary. The atmosphere is great in that it is comfortable without being pretentious. What more could you ask for?

You haven't lived until you've experienced an 8 course tasting at Maize. Chef Matt is one of, if not the most, talented chefs I've ever met. To say you can taste the love in his food would be an understatement! I've visited Maize now countless times with my husband and numerous family and friends, and we can truly say this is one of our most favorite restaurants! Nothing else compares to the experience, from the fresh and local ingredients, to the friendly and attentive staff, to the most delicious and creative dishes. Our favorite part is not having to decide what to order since there isn't a menu, and the chef prepares creative dishes based on what's fresh and in-season/local. We've done the 3 course, 5 course and 8 course. All have been amazing but if you're not a picky eater the 8 course is the way to go! Chef Matt is also super accommodating to different allergies and preferences, and some of our pickiest of friends have been blown away! Chef Matt, thank you! It's so refreshing to find a restaurant that is not only delicious and unique, but one where we leave wondering why we waste our money elsewhere! You are truly talented and we cannot recommend Maize enough!

From start for finish, a superb meal. Cozy atmosphere. The chef was able to accommodate our last minute request to do a 5 course tasting menu (3 courses are the norm. ) Flavors perfectly melded, portions perfect, and presentation beautiful. Can't say enough about the staff...so attentive to our needs. Truly a hidden gem.

Experience was amazing. Went to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. Be aware all food is made and prepared at the same time as your neighbor & time slot. Bring conversations & any drinks you enjoy. Food is super fresh and the food has many layers. Chef is so friendly and willing to engage with you.

The food is amazing, from the presentation to the taste. Each course compliments the next. It was a real dining experience! No question about going back!

Awesome!! The food was beyond excellent!! We got the 3 course meal & it was plenty. It is a bit pricey, but you're paying for quality. It was our anniversary so I splurged a little.

After hearing people rave about this restaurant, we decided to book a reservation sight unseen! We got lucky and we're able to book a table for two on a Friday night after a cancellation. The place is super small and quaint with a full view of the kitchen. Personally, we really appreciated this since it adds to the "farm to table" experience. The chef was right there cooking each dish. It's BYOB which is always a plus. The menu is fixed so if you have no food allergies, restrictions, and are a bit more adventurous it'll be right up your alley. Personally, I don't mind since sometimes choosing from the menu can be a daunting experience. Either way, you will not be disappointed! Each dish was carefully crafted and full of flavor. I highly recommend for a nice dinner!

The only negative here is that it can become loud because of the small seating area, but it's easy to forget once you taste your meal. Each meal I've had here was cooked to perfection and once time I was actually served an actual honeycomb! Their menu changes due to season and what is available locally. Make a reservation you'll thank me later!

Food was exceptional and wait staff friendly and attentive Loved the preset chef menu. Very creative and delicious

Amazing experience! For those of you who are in Bucks County or close, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a culinary experience that will still be dancing in your mouth days later.

Hey, my wife and I have been going to maize since Matthew opened the restaurant years ago. This restaurant is truly unparalleled and there's nothing like it when it comes to food and service unless you're willing to head all the way in to Phildelphia. It's also BYOB so you're not going to be wasting a lot of money on the drinks. Every dish is made to order and all dietary restrictions are no problem. This is a great place to go for an anniversary celebration, a date or to treat yourself and loved ones. Remember to make a reservation because it does fill up and know that when you arrive your journey into culinary perfection will begin.

Always consistent and wonderful. Service is excellent, timed perfectly. Definitely recommend this place for a great meal.

I don't even know where to start. We saw all the excellent reviews and enjoy tasting menus. We made our reservation and read that it will take 2-2 1/2 hours. We arrived and the place was packed and LOUD. I asked our server the different between the $50 and $70 tasting menu and she said the upgrade meats. She mentioned that people who upgraded had been getting blue crab and steak. I told her that's what we wanted!! We waited and waited and finally 35 mins after we were seated, we were finally given a biscuit and a very small tasting of popcorn to share. A party who had just arrived and sat down and received their popcorn and biscuits immediately. I was a little irritated but I didn't want to let it ruin our dinner. Another 30 mins later we had already finished our wine - we had already been there an hour. Our first course finally came. It was a crab salad with micro greens. Crab tasted fresh but the whole thing was very bland. Not much flavor. We are still very hungry at this point.. It took an hour from the crab salad before we got our 2nd course. The party who arrived 1/2 an hour after us had already had 5 plates brought to their table. I believe because they ordered from the menu they got all of their food very quickly. They were being catered to very attentively as we sat there... hungry... A table of 4 that was there before us got up and left after their first course because of how long it was taking. At this point we have been there 1hr 45 mins and we're just receiving our second course- blackened fluke. This was another bland dish. I couldn't wait for my steak. The restaurant finally quieted down and we were happy that we'd finally get our food. 20-25 mins later we see the waitress walked by with 2 steaks. She walked right past us and gave it to a different table. Then she arrived with our 3rd course. We got squab and figs. Are you freaking kidding me? We get pigeon?? What happened to this steak?? I'm hoping it's delicious but neither me or my fiancé liked it but we ate a few sliced pieces and continued on.. 4th course was a mini salad with beets, toast, blue cheese, and bread. This was actually very tasty and flavorful. We were asked if we wanted tea or coffee and we asked for coffee. 5th course was dessert- we enjoyed that as well. But still didn't receive any coffee. When I was on my last bite - the waiter told me he forgot about the coffee and brought it to our table. Didn't really feel like coffee after we had finished dessert. Our whole experience kept us there almost 3 hours and we ended up leaving hungry. They had overbooked themselves and made for a very bad first impression. When you have customers leaving because the food is taking too long you can't laugh it off and say "it's a 2 1/2 hour experience" when your served your 2nd course 2 hours later. Courses should be spaced out appropriately and if you're going to keep people waiting, make sure the food is excellent! At $70 a person for the "upgraded" meal it truly was not worth it. Again- very disappointed.

Food and experience are always the best, or at least an interesting dish even if it's not your taste. Staff is friendly and it's a special treat to come here. It does break the wallet so we reserve for very special occasions. Tasting menu consists of 8 small plate courses so you truly get to sample a whole bunch of fine cuisine dishes throughout a 2.5+ hour leisurely meal. In addition, there are biscuits to start the meal and an extra sweet dessert with your check. $9 for a decaf cappuccino is a little ridiculous, but you are paying for the experience and it was delicious. It's clear that the intention is to talk and not feel rushed but truly savor each small bite. Seems like they only host one seating per evening. Meals can take hours but you'll leave feeling like you just experienced something special. It can get loud, as it did for us last night, due to rude and obnoxious guests, since the place is small. It's not the restaurant's fault of course, but they could make more of an effort to let people know their voices are traveling and may be disturbing other patrons. It's BYOB which is a plus since you will easily drop $200 for two on their tasting menu.

Absolutely amazing food. This is basically a Michelin star restaurant in little old Perkasie!

Party of 6. Meal consisted of a biscuit, small cup of popcorn, tiny serving of swordfish, small serving of duck which was rubbery and not edible, a small cranberry cake dessert. The meal is extremely overpriced. $75 a person. Paid $190 for my wife and me with tax and tip. portions are bitesize and are lost on the plate. The meal was not worth half that price. Expected a better experience.

Maize is just amazing. We did the three course and I fully expected small courses and maybe even a little hungry when we left but no, portions are adequate and just damm delicious. We will be back!

Food was great. Amazing. And, the wait staff were very friendly and courteous. Portions were much smaller than I'd expected given what you pay to experience this place. And, it is an experience. The flavors were incredible.

This was different experience for my husband and I. We enjoyed our meals. The chef definitely comes up with some interesting combos that really work together. Looking forward to going again the future.

Did a beer tasting. Ate things I would have normally not have ordered. The food was excellent. I will be returning.

Small, delicious and personal service. Always a treat snd the menus are interesting.

We were one of only 2 couples in the restaurant that evening. The "experience" begins before you arrive, as we were contacted by the restaurant the afternoon of our dinner reservation. They inquired if there were any food allergies in our party and if there were any particular dislikes or aversions. In our case there were none, and I happily informed them we are both adventurous in our tastes and looking forward to a memorable experience! They did not disappoint! The food and service were impeccable, as 4 people prepared each course and together painstakingly plated each. The course was then brought to our table and "presented" to us by our server Don, who explained each dish and happily answered any questions. Each of the 8 courses were uniquely prepared, unusual, and delicious. Being a "tasting menu", each individual dish is small, but we were pleasantly full when finished. Not inexpensive by anyone's standards, this was a truly enjoyable experience that I would certainly recommend to any "foodie" for a special occasion.

Simple, locally sourced ingredients are elevated to yummy perfection by Chef Matt and the staff at Maize. The current 3 course tasting menu changes daily and ours included a meat course, seafood course and desert. There are 2 seatings each night, so there is plenty of time to relax and linger over each dish as it is presented to your table. It's a cozy place but not crowded and only seats about 25 people. It's Fairly priced and since it's BYOB, you can enjoy a great meal without breaking the bank. I would give this place 6 stars if I could!

Excellent fine dining in a cozy space at a reasonable price....and BYOB. Decent portions- if you order the chefs tasting you will leave stuffed. Reservations a must (generally 2 seatings - 5pm and 8pm) This was our second time at Maize, and it was almost as good as the first time (to be fair, last time our reservation was delayed by an hour due to a table from the first seating refusing to leave....which ended up in a few extra courses from the kitchen to make up for it once we were finally seated, no complaints about that!). We have only ever done the 5 course chef's tasting, because at $50 why wouldn't you? The kitchen will accommodate any allergies or food preferences- for example asked if we were ok with meat/fish served rare/seared. Here's the rundown, though the menu changes based on local ingredients and the chef's discretion: Seasoned popcorn to start (it's called Maize after all) Buttery, steaming hot, fluffy biscuits served with honeycomb 1st course: crab cake with seafood risotto and shellfish sauce. OMG. Favorite dish of the night, best crab cake I've ever eaten. 2nd course: seared tuna with fingerling potatoes, green beans, pesto, kalamata olive. Interesting flavor, nice mix of textures with a vinegar zing, reminded me of German potato salad...topped with perfectly cooked tuna. 3rd course: teres major with celery root puree. I have yet to have a fish/meat not cooked to perfection at Maize, and this was no exception. We all enjoyed the puree...the taste was something new and it was silky smooth, something different for most of us. 4th course: pear salad with aged blue cheese and candied walnut. Good, but kind of a let down after the 3 warm courses....wish this was 1st course instead. 5th course: warm hazelnut cake with ice cream and pistacio. Also warm mini cookies were served with the check.

Love it here! Superb food and service. It's the gem of Perkasie. Try it, you won't be sorry. Been there twice in same year.

My husband I had dinner at Maize last Friday. Despite living in Perkasie for 8 years, this was our first time here. It was one of the most amazing dining experiences I've ever had. The menu is incredible and I implore you to be open to things you've never tried before. They create the most incredible dishes using unique flavors and local ingredients. The food was well timed, 3 courses included in the price. The restaurant is small and the staff were very attentive. We will definitely be back!

Nine years of happy dining at Maize. The format has changed several times (currently a 3-course prix fixe, with popcorn, biscuit and cookies as added goodies), but the quality remains top-notch. Service remains warm, attentive and friendly (now featuring MJ, Katrina and Dakota as the service team). The best restaurant, by far, in Bucks County and perhaps all of Southeast PA outside of Philly.

To be honest, I have not eaten here - I live in Florida but, I called to inquire about gift certificates for my cousin who lives nearby. I looked at several options before choosing Maize, but the menu and reviews sealed the deal! The staff was polite and helpful while discussing my options over the phone. I was told they would mail the gift certificate out - but someone must have hand delivered it, because it was there the next morning! I am beyond thankful for the care and attention I was given by the staff... and a big THANK YOU to the person kind enough to deliver i UPDATE: My cousin and her husband used the gift certificate recently and

Honestly I wouldn't have written this if dessert was something cooked. The food was mediocre for Bucks County. Everyone saying there's only food this good in the "city"- which city? My main issue is that dessert was a cut up peach. For a three course 70$ meal, I expected something cooked or baked or elevated. Not a raw peach with blueberries, blueberry sauce, and the same vanilla sauce that was on the main course (shrimp). It took 30-45 min to come out and the wait staff couldn't even give anyone a fork. The entire dining room was clinking around a spoon to try and pick up a slice. It allegedly soaked in champagne, but I couldn't find it.

I called to make reservations, and the person I spoke to on the phone was pretty rude and turned me off from this place. However, the reviews were good enough that I still wanted to try it. When we actually got there, the staff was very friendly. It was also my birthday, and the guys in the kitchen seemed so genuine and wished me a happy birthday. They started us off with popcorn, which we polished off quickly. Next up was biscuits with honey and butter. The biscuits were really fresh. And they gave us honeycomb! I've never had that before. I think they made the biscuits just for us, which meant it took a little longer but we weren't in a hurry. The entrees were also very good! I got the Rockfish, with butternut squash puree, pistachio sauce, and spinach. I was really savoring it, taking my time, not wanting the last bite to disappear. The two people I was with both got the duck. I tried and didn't like it, but I think it was just my personal preference. They both liked their food. To finish off the meal, they give you a chocolate chip cookie. Also baked fresh. And the cookies formed a smiley face! The presentation of everything was very nice. I would highly recommend that you try this restaurant. Don't come if you just want to grab a bite to eat and go. It's nicer, locally grown, seasonal foods that you should savor.

I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! It is not a restaurant it is an experience with delicious food and time to spend with who you are with. The courses are always amazing! Matt, owner and chef, is so good at what he does and they always ask if there are any food allergies and can accommodate accordingly. In the middle of a small PA Town we have NYC dishes that will make an impression!

Amazing food. We've been there twice. First time had a girl hostess that was sweet and attentive. Decided to treat my daughter and son in law the second time around and had Matthew as host. He was terribly insulting. To be fair, we changed our reservation time twice, being my daughter and and her husband we're traveling from NYC after work I was so excited to treat them to Maize, but it backfired. Matthew was annoyed about my husband asking about appetizer portions and then so my son in law and husband we're both insulted by Matthews remarks and demeanor towards us. I'm forgiving, but they won't go back. The food was in any case exceptional, sad.

We went to Maize for the first time last night and were absolutely delighted with the entire evening. From the moment we walked in we were impressed by the entire experience. Our waiter, Liam, was pleasant and presented each course with a full description of what the chef had prepared. Being a big eater, I was concerned that I would leave feeling less than full, but that didn't happen. Every course was perfectly done and the melding of flavors was amazing. You owe it to yourself to try this little gem for a special occasion. We will definitely be back to Maize! It was truly a wonderful dining experience! Just be aware that it is a BYOB. The only thing missing was some soft background dinner music, but even that different take away from a wonderful dining experience!

I cannot recommend Maize highly enough. 5-star, gourmet dining in the heart of Bucks County. The food is creative and the service is exceptional. If you live within an hour's drive, or even a bit more, it will be worth your while.

Had the most amazing dining experience here for my birthday last week. I had been wanting to try this place for awhile now and was not disappointed. Can't wait to go back!!

Came here for the first time, to celebrate my birthday. We had such a great time, everything was delicious. We had the 5 course tasting menu. LOVED the scallops and the grouper! I will be dreaming of those dishes for the next while...

Love this place. The open kitchen and service is amazing and welcoming. We consistently invite friends to join us for the experience.

One of the best meals we've had in a while. As it was late on a Thursday night we were the only couple at the restaurant. This was quite the experience as we didn't have to decide what we would be eating off of a menu. It was a prix fixe 5 course meal. It was fun not knowing what we would be getting next. (We were asked before dining if we had any allergies or preferences). Plating was fantastic and the flavors even better. Definitely pricy but well worth it. We will be back!

Absolutely outstanding! An excellent orchestrated dining experience. Each course was perfectly balanced with ingredients complementary to each other with whole being far greater than the sum of the parts. The main course and dessert each had two different but complementary sauces that enhanced the dish. We were pumped for a special experience, but the actual experience exceeded expectations!
