The Maples

Amazing...steak cooked perfectly. Baked potato was the best I've ever had, food was amazing

Great steak, great atmosphere, great service, great side dishes, great deserts! Old school steak house supper club... would be a great throw back restaurant experience anytime, however, would be really great experience on Mew Years Eve!

Best filet mignon I have ever eaten anywhere. It's perfect every single time and it comes out on a sizzling plate with butter sauce. Oh my.

Another HOME RUN steak by the Maples. Let me just comment on one of the other reviews... Someone criticized the price - $69 for a 16oz steak and $154 for a family of 3... and it "wasn't Downtown"... then criticized the restrooms.. First - let me get the laughter out of the way.. :'-DLet me ask you this: what is your average expense to drive from the south hills to a downtown steakhouse? Average distance, say, 20 Miles (oneway)?... 1) Gas (roundtrip): $15-202) Tolls (given you take 43): $5-73) Parking: $5-154) Burdon of Personal Time - 30-45min each way.. 1.5h total, conservatively, say $50 per couple..5) Intangible cost - DUI risk, babysitter, traffic ticket risk, stress of driving for 45min plus... etcConservative Total: $75-92 per couple per TRIP to the City! NOT EVEN INCLUDING ANYTHING REGARDING DINNER! And you're complaining about the best overall streak dinner in all of the tristate area costing $69 per head (salad and giant baked potato included!)? WOW... you're clearly well thought out... :) Grow up my friend... maybe the illusion to you of eating in "the city" is this amazing thing and well worth that cost... but take it from someone who has lived years in each of New York City, Chicago, Miami, Boston, Hartford, and Providence... You are not going tonight find a better "Good Old Boys" steakhouse anywhere..The fact that there are only 3-5 things on the menu is a GOOD THING! That = quality and consistency... (get your redneck out of your b-hole)... and as far as the restrooms - what, are you going to do? shit? shave? shower? OR to have an effin STEAK?? Priorities my friend! If you don't want it to BE THE VALLEY anymore? Then STOP MAKING IT THE VALLEY... go somewhere else to eat shitty fried food and garbage over-cooked skirt steak for cents on the dollar... Trust me, you are not wanted at the Maples anyway!

I refuse to adjust my comment due to the fact that a moron has said something about me. Apparently I over stepped when I gave them 3 star for an over priced steak. A lot of people would like to know the prices. I have been to many steak places and did not find my steak at Maples to be better then a an ordinary steak at outback steak house. The service was slow, I had to keep asking for my water to be filled. The world is full of Idiots."Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."― Mark Twain

My husband had heard about "The Maples" ....a little throw-back SteakHouse in Charleroi, Pa.. He immediately decided we also had to try this "diamond in the rough so to speak", just to see what all the fuss was about. The recommendation had come from a respected "self proclaimed" Foodie friend of ours, he said in fact that the filet he had gotten was one of the finest he'd ever eaten.The filet, my personal favorite cut of meat, was said to rival any other. So, true to our nature we had to get there ASAP. My husband and I having eaten at some of the finest steakhouses in world for work, combined with our vacation get-away's, including major cities, cruises and resorts. We had to see for ourselves. So with reservations for 3 couples, I have to admit we were anxious to get there. As some other reviewer's have stated; it doesn't look like much on the outside, but you walk in and the place is adorable! A very comfortable atmosphere, very friendly service. Our waitress was extremely attentive. I won't go into details but the bartender even went over and above to make my evening perfect. The menu is simple, but enough of a choice for everyone. I got my filet mignon med-rare, a baked potato loaded with sour cream and butter, and some crabmeat on the side--it was fantastic. My husbands meal also very good. All at the table enjoyed every bite and I don't honestly believe there was a bite left on any plate when we finished. Did I mention clean? It was the cleanest restaurant I've ever been in. So clean I found myself looking for something to be out of place. The chef came out to talk to us, and I swear when we left half the staff said goodbye, now if that doesn't make you want to drive on down to Charleroi, Pa. for a good steak dinner then I don't know what more I could say! We absolutely loved our experience and we-will certainly be back, and not just to retrieve the scarf that I left on the back of my chair either. Which by the way, the waitress called us to say it had been left behind. We had enough time to turn right around but we were in a caravan headed on to the next water hole. And, my husband stated, " No problem, it gives us a reason to come back, we'll bring our adult kids down in a couple weeks!"

Honestly the best filet around. I honestly feel bad for people who haven't experienced this level of quality in a cut of steak or the level of perfection the chef cooks the steak at. Get the 16oz filet, it comes on a scorching hot plate keeping the excess juices piping hot. You will not be disappointed!

Absolutely without a doubt the best steak I've ever eaten!!!! No Bullsh_t ... the best.... A 16oz filet with a must order side of sautéed mushrooms.. Old school vibe and decor, but a must try. Rich.. the chef and owner is a great person and delivers a steak experience like no other... When in the Mon Valley area do yourself a solid and stop in.

Simply put...out of this world. Started with the crab stuffed mushrooms...all crab and no filler. Next the mixed green salad with ranch...mmmm. Then on to the meat! My strip steak was cooked to perfection and was juicy and delicious...no salt or sauce necessary.My wife got the filet and have never seen a more perfectly cooked filet.Forget wasting your time going to Morton's or Ruth's Chris...make your next steak the maples and be prepared to be amazed!

You will simply never believe this place is as good as it is. You'll pull into the parking lot and swear you're at the wrong place. But, you're right where you want to be!You really need to call ahead. They aren't built for major dinner traffic but all I worry about is ME! The menu is simple. Steak, chicken ( I think) and tilapia. You're there for the steak.You have a choice of two steaks. Big and massive. The one you see is, I think, their eight ounce ; that's the small one. Get it medium rare. Get the sautéed mushrooms and baked potato. Oh, yeah ... and salad with the house dressing ( balsamic vinaigrette)You won't find a better steak anywhere and I've done steakhouses from San Francisco to Dallas to Denver, D.C., Boston, NYC, and more. Say hi to Richard, the owner and chef. He'll be by to be sure everything is right by you.
