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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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.

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.
