Maple Street Café

We visited Maple Street Café on our last day of recent trip to New Orleans. The atmosphere was cozy and happy. The staff was good at the beginning but toward the end, I guess they were more focusing on clean up so we had to ask for water more than once. The food was OK but there are so many more options in New Orleans. The most disappointing thing was the tiramisu. It's my favorite dessert but the one we ordered taste more like a chocolate cake than a tiramisu.

5/5 Morgan our server was so sweet and attentive. Plates were hardy and delicious. We maybe had 5 bites and took the rest as left overs. The drinks were the only thing that was ridiculously over priced and pushed us over $100. 1 small 8oz margarita was $15. Other than that we will be back again but just drinking ahead of time at a bar next door or something.

So delicious! Everything was super fresh. The catfish was some of the best I ever had. Very flavorful. The atmosphere is so nice and prefect for a nice date. Very clean. Our server was so sweet and professional.

This place is absolutely a hidden gym! 10 across-the-board for every thing. The food, the service and the atmosphere was great! I loved 🥰 that there were at least six specials and they all sounded absolutely delicious. I had the soft-shell crab, and my husband had the lamb chops. For appetizers we had the shrimp and the oysters. Everything was absolutely flavorful, even the bread was delicious. I didn’t know what drink I wanted so the bartender made me some type of mango cosmopolitan. It was absolutely delicious. Definitely going back to this place just to try all of the specials and get to the menu 😛I would definitely recommend this place to friends. Also, the price was very inexpensive for a great meal with quality food.

Quite possibly the best restaurant in all of Louisiana. Seriously. I didn’t want to stop eating. The fish was so delicious! The white chocolate bread pudding was heaven sent!!! I highly recommend this place! The staff was the best!!

We are so grateful to this restaurant for welcoming our family of 11 on Christmas Day and truly going above and beyond. They accommodated multiple dietary restrictions with ease and genuine care, which made everyone feel comfortable and included. Most importantly, the food was outstanding — beautifully prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with attention and heart. Combined with the kindness and patience of the staff, it turned a potentially stressful holiday into a wonderful, memorable celebration for our whole family. Thank you for making our Christmas Day so special.

This is a hidden gem! One of Tulane students told us about the restaurant and we are glad we went! The food was out of this world! Service was bar none and the atmosphere was excellent! I am already making plans to return! You must check this restaurant out! It's not close to the touristy part of town but once you get there you'll be glad you did!

I can't begin to explain the unrealistic service today. This place was swamped with customers and one server took care of the entire front room. It was amazing, food came out hot and the beverages never ran dry. I don't know how he did it, but he did. Now, for the food, wow. The soft shell crab was insane delicious. It's salty flavor smashed perfectly with the crawfish cream sauce over the linguine. Extraordinary flavor profile un that dish. The eggplant cake was remarkable. Full bar and plenty of beer options.

This just is definitively the best Greek salad in the city. It's got tomatoes, capers, kalamata olives, roasted red peppers, banana peppers, onions, hearts of palm, roasted garlic, green peppers, cucumbers and feta. I add the grilled chicken for protein, doesn't even need dressing! And the mixed greens are always crisp and never limp or starting to turn. I'm not a huge salad girlie (see my other reviews) but when I'm trying to eat lighter I still want lots of flavor and to feel full and this salad always does the job! I've been ordering it delivery, so can't comment on the ambiance but it's prepared quickly and with a good mix of all the goodies. Great for swimsuit season!

I can't believe I never wrote a review of this gem of a restaurant. The setting, Memorial Day Weekend: Girl's Trip. First and foremost, get the pillowy soft French bread with their amazing chilled albeit spicy soft butter accompaniment. Truly the highlight of our meal. We happened upon this place after exploring outside of NOLA near the university. School was out and everything was quiet... and ungodly hot. We were relieved to find a place that was open, cool, and offered spritzers. As we rehydrated and enjoyed the AMAZING free bread appetizer, I ordered the crawfish pita with feta. It was fresh, crunchy, and delicious. I loved everything about this quaint cafe. Go for a visit and I'm sure you'll feel the same way. Bon appetite!

Forever one of my go to recommendations! The service is always fantastic and the food never disappoints. I love the vibes inside as well as the gorgeous patio! We got the chicken lemon pasta and it was the best pasta I have had in a long time. Also don't miss out on the amazing desserts! We obviously be back

Food has gotten better, menu gotten smaller, and service is better. Still issues with the card fees, but this place is improving and a nice spot for a quick dinner.

Visiting our 2 sons at Tulane and found this excellent place just a few blocks from campus. It's not going to win any James Beard awards because it's focused on delivering hearty delicious dishes that aren't assembled with a pair of kitchen tweezers. They served up one of the best lamb shanks of my life. Magazine Street, the CBD and the French Quarter all have amazing restaurants but don't let them overshadow this gem.

Maple street cafe is a hidden gem! Food was prepared well and the service was great! We came for lunch two times and we're in and out within an hour. I got veal Picata and was pleasantly pleased. A good place if you like Italian food!

Charming little space with excellent service and food. I ordered fried oysters on a bed of grilled romaine. Could take or leave the romaine but oysters and Caesar dressing delish. Friend had a very nice salmon salad. They bring warm bread to table in a brown paper bag. Iced tea attractively served with lemon and mint sprig and frequently refreshed.

Had the chicken lemon and pasta a la vodka delivered via door dash. Both were very good. Just wish they had included some plasticware in the carryout order since we were at a hotel and didn't have any handy. Had to improvise but no demerits there. Will do again.

Ordered fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Chicken in description and picture. No chicken. We called and manager said that's an old picture. Not our problem. Threw it away and had to go to drive through. Horrible.

Was eating near Loyola University because we were seeing a play there. Found the only non-dive on the college strip, where it seems professors and a few fancy sorority girls dine (though not together). Surprisingly good food. Oysters Almandine: Perfectly fried oysters so it's crunchy on the outside, with a good amount of batter, and soft on the inside. No funky fishy smell either. But that creamy almandine sauce, wow! That really jazzed up those oysters and made them addictive. Maple Street Crawfish Pasta: A very generous amount of crawfish tails. Like super meaty. With a good amount of diced bell peppers and onions in a subtle butter sauce. Reminded me a little of shrimp scampi, but with a Louisiana twist. Pork Chop: Thick and meaty, tasted quite porky. A subtle sauce, which pairs well. Some random veggies. It was fun, but the crawfish pasta was a better choice. White Chocolate Bread Pudding: Warm. Gooey. Saucy. This was just the perfect way to cap off a meal. Though once the sauce was gone, the dense steamed pudding remaining wasn't as tasty.

Another great neighborhood place for dinner just off Carrollton Avenue. A comfy conversion of house into cafe, you can set on two levels inside or in the side outdoor patio. Whatever you choose you can count on GREAT service, even with my huge party of nine. Can't say enough about the service--attentive, knowledgeable, considerate. Wow! Another wow for the food. Fav apps include the stuffed shrimp pastry, oysters almondine (perfectly fried) and the eggplant cake. Small but solid wine list--competitive prices too. Love the shrimp ziad--light, tasty and filling. A bunch in the group loved the pompano special. Everyone was pleased with entrees. The key lime pie and tiramisu are worth it--a must.

This is a solidly consistent place to grab some good food. I rotate in here probably once every two years or so, as it usually isn't at the top of my list of places to go with all the other great options in the area, but I've brought a few out of town folks here when other places were super crowded and it has always been easy to access. The service has always been pleasant and the interior space is much nicer than you might think from just driving past and looking at the exterior. I've rarely had anything that disappointed me here outside the burger but I've also never had anything that excited me either so this place is definitely a solid three star A-Ok in my book with potential to reach higher. My video review of Maple Street Cafe is here: https://youtu.be/terehP5NC48

This is my go -to place. Large and varied menu. Open 7 days/ week. Great ambiance. Upscale. Reasonable. Owner is open to suggestions. Highly recommend reservations/website or call.

Came to Maple Street Cafe for their Christmas Dinner and it was great. We had a 3 course meal and the star of the show was the delicious stuffed pork chop. I had the soup and bread pudding for my other courses and they were great as well. The service was also excellent. I will be back.

The food was so delicious. The veal, softshell crab, and fish specials were amazing. We also had the stuffed shrimp appetizer that was excellent. The service was the best!!!

Charming place. There is also an outside sitting available. Parking can be challenging, but hey.. this area is super popular. And if you don't mind walking - you can park on a side street. Our server wasn't very attentive though. She came to us asking if we were ready to order food or dessert without giving us much time to look at a menu. We'd ask for a minute to think and she'd disappear. Every time we had to wave to get her attention. But on the other hand, the restaurant was pretty full at a lunch time. But food was delicious. I'd come back if I lived in New Orleans.

Maple street cafe has wonderful food, and a nice but a bit cramped atmosphere. I have come here for both special occasions and normal ones. The food is consistently good!

I love Maple Street Cafe! This is a cozy restaurant situated in a hip area of Uptown. It is nestled among trendy restaurants and boutiques (kind of a micro version of Magazine Street). My daughter, wife, and I stopped in here last week (Friday, August 19, 2022) around 4:00 for an early dinner. My daughter had the Chicken Lemon, my wife had the Chicken Robah, and I had the Veal Nora. All three entrees were very good. The Lemon Chicken was probably my favorite of the three. My wife really liked the breading on the Chicken Robah. To my pleasant surprise: two of our three meals came with red cabbage which is an underutilized side in most restaurants. Service was very good and prices are reasonable. I can't wait for my next visit. I struggled with the rating. There are soo many great restaurants in New Orleans - I can't give them all fives. But then it occurred to me: if this restaurant was in Indiana or Florida it would be hands-down a five star rating. So why should I penalize it just because it is in New Orleans?

Service was great. Food was ok. We split the chicken sereen and it was warmish on the side of cool.

So good and we were able to walk in and get a table without a reservation on a Saturday night. Our waitress was the owner's daughter - service was great and she gave great recommendations. Reasonably priced - very good pasta sui sui and that custard will bring me back next time I'm in town.

Convenient location , and cute small spot Uptown New Orleans. Food was amazing! Servers are friendly! I had the White bean soup and a Greek Salad add grilled chicken. Definitely recommend for a date night!

We had a lovely lunch there...I had red beans and rice (it was a Monday, after all), my husband had ceased at salad with fried oysters. The red beans were seasoned and cooked to perfection. My husband's salad was fresh and good, he said the oysters we're perfectly cooked. One thing that kind of threw us was that on the menu more than wise it had "imported shrimp." Imported from where? With New Orleans being so close to the Gulf Coast why in the world would you import shrimp? I'd rather eat fresh golf shrimp any day.

I came here on a nice weather day one Friday afternoon for lunch. We sat outside under the covered section of the restaurant. The waitress was super nice. We ordered the calzone and it came with a cheese stick which was basically a cheese pizza. I loved Mt calzone but I loved that cheese pizza better! Also ordered a tomato soup and the cheese stick came with that as well. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the food and the service. They have the scanner code foe the menu but if you ask they will Give you a hard copy. Also the restaurant inside has a decent amount of space as does the outside and again it's covered. They have Greek and Italian items on the menu and they do have a parking lot.

Ordered from Door Dash. We had the angel hair with mushrooms and side salads. The food was good, just annoyed that utensils were not provided.

Excellent food and service! The soft shell crab is outstanding! Everything our party ordered was excellent.

Great food. Love the fresh vegetables especially the red cabbage that comes with main courses.

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would! I dined here with a friend for lunch and we were so impressed. All of the food was flavorful and fresh. We also felt like we were dining in an upscale restaurant, but the prices were so affordable for lunch! It's a small, but very welcoming neighborhood cafe. Our waitress was incredibly nice and gave us good explanations of the dishes we asked about. The mezze plate appetizer is amazing and a very large portion size. Oh and this might've been the best Greek salad I have ever had! I will definitely be returning.

Enjoyed New Year's Eve dinner at Maple Street Cafe. I've ordered via UberEats a few times but decided to dine today for the holiday. The dining room is quaint and romantic vibe. Waitstaff were very attentive and offered wine pairings with our meals. Gabby was our waitress. She wore her mask, friendly vibes, and offered off the menu specials while visiting. We started off with stuffed shrimp for appetizers, very delicious and the crust was buttery and flaky MUST TRY! Our entree were shrimp angel hair pasta, and red fish topped with lump crab and pasta. One of the best dining experiences I've had all year! Everything was fresh, flavorful and savory.

We stopped by Maple Street Cafe this week for a late lunch/early dinner. First time at Maple Street Cafe and we were "blown away" at how delicious our meal was! We each had the Veal Piccata which came with generous servings of mixed summer veggies and yummy buttered small potatoes. The veal was tender, cooked to perfection and smothered in delicious lemon/caper/ butter sauce. Everything was absolutely delicious! Our server was friendly and did a lovely job of answering our questions and being appropriately attentive. The cafe is clean, bright and inviting. Compliments to the chef, owner & staff. And our meal was very reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food. Can't believe we've lived here for 20 years and have never tried this lovely cafe! We can't wait to return! .

This place has really good food! The lemon chicken was particularly tasty and even though we got it via take out, the food was still piping hot by the time we got home. Will be back.

The atmosphere of this quaint little restaurant is perfect for a date night. But the food, oh the food was delish. The staff were all so friendly and personable. We will definitely be back.

Food and service were wonderful. One of the nicer places uptown for a good dinning experience

This little gem is a perfect "ladies who lunch" restaurant. My favorite thing is the lemon chicken - perfectly thin slices of chicken breaded and pan fried with linguine in a lemon sauce. So good! The creme caramel custard is nothing short of orgasmic. If you are really lucky they will have artichoke soup that day. It was so delicious that I took a large order home for dinner! It has become one of my all time favorite places.

So so good! The food is delicious, the space is nice, and the service is wonderful and personal. The fresh bread and spice/herb butter that they bring to the table is my favorite. I always get the lemon butter chicken alfredo and it has never failed me. I always take visitors from out of town here and they love it! A must-visit

A great and underestimated neighborhood cafe. The food is just fancy enough to feel like a treat and just approachable enough to have on a random Tuesday. It's small and quaint but the food packs big flavor. My favorites are the Steamed Muscles and Chicken Lemon Pasta (definitely a two meal order). Give it a try if you're in the area or order on Uber Eats!

A hard five on the pasta and oysters. One of the servers might've been having a bad day but I thought it was good experience overall. The decor is great and the butter for the bread is the best. This is a place I want to come back to. Carrollton is great.

Wonderful neighborhood gem! Great staff - friendly and attentive and the food is wonderful! Sound level was moderate - which is hard to find these days at popular restaurants. The pork chop dish was great, as was the perfectly cooked duck dinner. My soft shell crab on pasta was delicious. If you're uptown in the university area of New Orleans this is the place to eat!

If I could give this cafe 100 I would! Hands down the best meal we had on our trip to NOLA! We stumbled across this cafe while headed to the Maple Leaf Bar to see George Porter Jr. We saw it had pretty good reviews so we just gave it a go. You guys. It. Was. Phenomenal. The cutest little home turned cafe style Italian restaurant with the sweetest servers and atmosphere. I must have drank ten glasses of water at dinner (we walked a lot on this trip) and I could barely get my last sip down before our waitress was ready with a refill, talk about quick and attentive service! They even gave us local advice on other places to try in the area. So sweet! The food - I just don't even know how to describe how much amazing flavor our dishes had!!! I ordered the Chicken Lemon with Fettuccine Alfredo, and I will be dreaming about this meal for the rest of my days! I love a good pasta dish and this one was next level!! My sister had the Pork Chop topped with a honey ginger demi-glaze and she literally swooned after the first bite. And let me tell you, she ate pork chops at nearly every dinner we had on this trip (and at home) and she kept comparing each meal after this - to the maple street pork chop. She is on a mission to find the recipe for their glaze 10/10 recommend on absolutely all levels. Just go already!!

Maple Street Cafe is perfect spot for a business lunch or a get together with a few friends. It's quaint, tastefully decorated and cozy. Everyone is greeted with a genuine hello when the arrive. I've always had impeccable service and delicious food. On my last visit I went with a Caesar salad topped with smoked salmon. The Caesar dressing was rich and creamy, and the salmon was thinly sliced, fresh and chilled. My husband went with a grilled chicken salad that was equally tasty. I usually opt for a salad here, but have had some of the pastas in the past. They've all been good choices. This is a nice quiet spot in such a cool part of town. Love it.

The pictures make the place look a lot better than it actually is. This isn't to say that it is bad, it just isn't as quaint as it appears. The service was pleasant and the food was decent - my husband had the duck Jameel and I had the chicken Robah. The drinks were fine. It just wasn't anything special.

This is a magnificent place to eat. I loved having so many entrees over the years. The owner is a great guy. I've been a happy customer ever since the've been open. The food is consistently perfect and delicious. The food has always been just right. The service is impeccable. As you become a regular, you are recognized and treated properly.

great food i always order on doordash or grubhub sometimes the pasta sauce leaks a little but it's worth it for a good meal - i get crawfish pasta also stuffed great great tomato mozzarella is great

THIS SHIT WAS BANGIN 8.5 for sure my gf also got the crawfish pasta that was also very good

I tried this place via the Diner Dash app. FYI: Diner Dash is great. Compared to UberEATS and Waitr, this one is the best in my opinion. The food is always hot and delivered fast. Anyway, I ordered the Angel Hair & Three Wild Mushroom pasta and my friend ordered the Eggplant & Shrimp soup. The pasta was pretty good. I am a mushroom fanatic, and they put a good heaping of mushrooms in it. The pasta, itself, was nicely cooked. The sauce had a distinct taste--I could definitely taste either mushroom "juice" or as if the mushrooms had been really cooked into it. The pasta did have a weird aftertaste after each bite, but that could have been the generous amount of different mushrooms in it. As for the soup, my friend said it was "okay." It appears to be a tomato-based soup. There was only one shrimp in it. I did not see much eggplant, but I guess that is sufficient for a $6 soup. Overall, the food was a 7/10.

We went to this restaurant for lunch when a friend recommended it. The food was fantastic; the service was great and the prices were good. We had the lunch specials. We will definitely go back.

This restaurant was a great find with great food & service! My friends and I stopped in, and we were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable menu prices. We were served freshly baked bread with a seasoned butter, and when we asked for more, our waitress gladly complied. I originally was going to order the penne sui sui, but our waitress, Ashley, recommended I get the chicken Alfredo instead. It's so rare to find a server who recommends something they genuinely like, rather than just the most expensive option. Ashley was right because the dish was delicious! Two large pieces of chicken with a good amount of pasta. I would definitely love to come back and try more menu options, especially because the service was so great!

My daughter and I have food allergies. We are allergic to dairy and all grains. I told the waitress this. Still we were served mashed potatoes made with milk which I removed from our plates immediately upon being served. While ordering I was asked if lightly flouring my fish was ok (no, it's not, bc presumably she meant w/ wheat flour), and after serving us our main dishes the waitress rushed over to give us bread (uh, we don't eat bread!)!!! Further, I ordered a steak for my daughter "medium-rare to medium, but definitely NOT rare," and my daughter's steak was rare (read not properly cooked, and a meat thermometer not used) and covered in a mushroom sauce. That said, the star of our dishes was the red cabbage sauerkraut served on the side! The broccoli was plain (what? not even some seasoning?) and the turnips the same. Meh. I order the fish of the day (Pompano w/ crabmeat), which I ordered grilled. It was ok, but no lemon slice to squeeze over it. I grabbed the lemon slice served with my water to give my grilled fish and dry crabmeat some flavor. It was ok-ish. Not impressed at all, and the restaurant's attitude towards food allergies was close to a complete failure. That said, I had a terrible stomach ache later in the evening that tells me that something I'm allergic to was included in my meal.

Waitress named Nico or Nicole. Sipped her nose twice, open a to go order and had an attitude. Oh no! If you want to get sick then go.

So happy I found this place. The chicken lemon I ordered tn using Uber eats pick up. It was outstanding. Loved the sauce, chicken was breaded perfectly and portion size was also decent. This is the cutest little spot and I live near by so I will be ordered or dinning in more often.
