Maple and Motor

5 stars!! The parking lot was packed as was the inside! But after a short wait in line, the manager helps you find a table and was SUPER helpful. When looking for utensils, he directed me and gave me a helpful recommendation to try the jalapeño ketchup they have - so good too! The meat is the juiciest burger patty I've had in probably 10 years. Cooked perfectly and practically had juice running down my arms! The French fries look simple but they have the perfect seasoning and the perfect crunch. The flavor is very unique too. Ambiance was really nice as well. While it was packed, it was also still easy to talk in and there wasn't extremely loud music playing.

1st of heard of this place from the Nextdoor app! Then after the google review complaints about not allowing dogs inside, and no changing tables I knew I wanted to try cuz I don't wanna eat anywhere there's dogs and annoying pretentious parents with noisy babies to match. Both can order delivery Also I'm black who doesn't toss out the easy race card when sh*t doesn't go my way like some in the google review!The snowflakes complaining about being yelled at are the same who don't read apparently as the rules are on the front door. The food was decent I had the tenders and fries and they were great. My friend enjoyed her burger. We didn't get a chance to see anyone getting yelled at but we wanted to for laughs! I'm gonna check the newer location on Preston that has the reviews mentioned above next.

Who doesn't love Maple and Motor. As Nacho Libre would say, "it's the best!" I love their burgers, their fries and tots, everything taste amazing. The soft drink is well above average and who could forget all the pics of celebrity endorsements.It's an all-American, traditional, perfectly made burger. No weird ingredients, no odd named burgers. They keep it simple and make the very best burger in DFW. Simply put, it's the best!

We initially thought we were heading somewhere else, but we're so glad we ended up here instead! My partner and I shared a BLT topped with a perfectly cooked over-easy egg and a side of loaded tater tots. Every bite was delicious, and the wait--about 15 minutes--was absolutely worth it since everything is made fresh to order. **The Food:** The BLT was a standout with its perfectly crisp bacon and the added richness of the egg. The loaded tater tots were indulgent and packed with flavor--an ideal complement to our sandwich. And the lemonade? Easily one of the *best* I've ever had. It was so refreshing and just the right balance of tart and sweet. I'd come back for it alone! **The Atmosphere:** The setup is cozy, and I loved the bar table near the window. It offered a great view of downtown, making the meal even more enjoyable. **The Service:** The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We'll definitely be returning next time we're in the area. This place is a hidden gem!

Apparently this is a Dallas staple and has been around for years. Stand in line, order your burger pink or cooked all the way. With cheese and or fixings. You receive a keychain with a number. They will help you find a seat once you have ordered. We chose to sit at the bar. The burgers and fries came out piping hot with awesome service. Friendly and delicious. Food hit the spot.

The place was packed, like we had all come to join a cheeseburger cult. It'd be a cult I'd consider joining. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. Unbelievably juicy with the right amount of toppings and seasoning. I've been thinking about this burger since I left and will continue thinking about it until I get an opportunity to come back. Highly recommend.

always a winner. love this simple good food with a great Road Side diner feel. i've never had anything but the bologna, Cincinnati style. Works for me.

Delicious burgers and fries, although I believe we had the tater tots. Would love to try the fries loaded with cheese and jalapeños. Staff were very helpful and friendly. You've got to love a burger house with Shiner Boch on tap!

Decided to stop for a quick dinner because it was close to the airport. The woman at the counter walked us through the menu because we were new to Maple and Motor. Pro tip from her -- order the tots over the fries! I wasn't in the mood for a burger so I ordered the grilled YardBird chicken sandwich and tater tots. It was a fresh tasting sandwich that was simple. The tots were fried well and served hot. My boyfriend ordered the cheeseburger and onion rings. The onion rings were in a sweeter batter, they were tasty but different.

------ Critics Review ------Skip this one. Visually appealing burger but no flavor!! Very disappointing. Strange to have such a big following with barely average burgers. I've heard lots of hype about it but it might simply be nostalgic (or they have no palette). I was very happy at first. Mexican Coke at the fountain (never seen that before!), but there was no yummy smells in the air. Ok, I arrived on a Saturday at opening so I cut them some slack.FRIESI asked for crispy fries and got them the way I like. (Most places fail this test.) Excellent crunch, salt/pepper, soft center, and a perfect size. 10 out of 10. BURGERWhen it arrived I was impressed. Visually awesome. Extra lettuce, not greasy, and very thick bacon cooked properly. The patty had a good thickness and cook (medium). Then I took a bite. I could taste the lettuce, I could taste the bacon... but as the old TV commercial said, "Where's the beef!" I could not detect any amount of beef flavor. Very weird. I actually looked at my burger to see if I could tell what was wrong. The only thing I can come up with is that it's super lean, low quality beef with no salt, pepper or seasoning of any kind. 3 out of 10. Many, many places are better. Overall score: 4 out of 10
