This is a really great place for everyone! They have funny items on the walls and the decor is just great. The food is amazing and the service is even better. We ordered lots of dishes as there were 4 of us, but beware these...servings are huge. The pot roast is amazing, the fish and chips are flawless, pierogies oh so good and the poutine is out of this world. The gravy they make is so good. Then you find out they have these crazy good desserts. Come hungry!More

We weren’t sure we had time to wait on the waitlist due to another commitment so we ordered to go. It was ready quickly and we decided to eat outside. As soon as we sat down they came and got us and found us a...table inside even sending someone to check on us and get us anything else we needed. The food was delicious but honestly it was the friendly staff from the hostess, dairy bar , to our waitress. Thank you for a great dining experience.More

I’ve been here several times, and would not go back. Food is nothing special and way overpriced. Staff has no clue how to treat customers took a long time to get waited on and get served. Not what Texas diners are. Much better places to...go with better food and cheaper prices.More

The food was great! Loved the cream puffs, scone, pierogi, and the main courses were also fresh and delicious. The waiter was really friendly as well and it’s a great place to get breakfast/lunch.

We ate here for breakfast and loved the food. It was a very busy place as it was the weekend but once seated food was fast and tasted great.

First let me say that there should be a law that all restaurants everywhere should be as good as The Maple Leaf Diner. The breakfast menu is diverse to the point my wife and I having a difficult time deciding what to order. Oh and...the prices are quite reasonable for the quality. and quantity. The service from top to bottom was great. My wife had pancakes while I had scrambled eggs and latkes with sour cream, rye toast, and fresh fruit. Both of our breakfasts were excellent in every way - period. A nice surprize was the apple butter for the toast.More

When in Dallas for a morning business meeting I visited the 'Maple Leaf Diner' for a good diner breakfast. It did not disappoint as the ambience was good, the service was fast and the food was to a very high standard. I had the Irish...Corned Beef Skillet with 2 poached eggs ($16.49) and a Coffee ($3.25) and the skillet was superb. It was a good portion size and the ingredients were all top quality... Very tasty. I would certainly recommend anyone to have breakfast at Maple Leaf Diner when in Dallas Texas.More

We stopped in almost right after it opened after traveling 10 hours. The bathrooms were clean. The decor was charming. The service was great. But it cost us $75+tip for a family of 5 to get breakfast. We did get one of their signature dishes...(pictured) but it still wasn’t justifying the price for us, personally.More

They do have some dishes that are common in Canada, but I have had those dishes elsewhere and their version was only so-so.

It was all simply delicious, and the waitstaff friendly and attentive! It was a short 10 minute wait with plenty of room on the sidewalk without feeling crowded or like cattle being herded.

On the whole, lunch at the Maple Leaf Dinner was a nice experience. The staff was prompt and friendly and the 10 year old in our group was pleased with the attention that was paid to him. The portions are huge. I had one of...the poutine dishes and I could only eat half of it before I ran out of appetite.More

Read reviews and wanted to try. Went with friend for breakfast on Saturday morning at opening. Not busy. First impression of the restaurant was misleading. In a strip mall and poorly decorated. However, this is not indicative of how the food was. The food IS...Amazing! Pricey, but don’t let this detour you from trying. The food portions are large and the presentation great! Will be returning soon!! Definitely recommend!More

The Maple Leaf Diner Most definitely worth the time and money. I drive 30+ minutes to eat here and NEVER regret it! Whether you are getting a small pastries and coffee or a steak and waffles here they do everything extravagant. I’ve been here a...few times, and they never disappoint, if you come during the weekend and expect to wait 30 to 40 minutes to get seated once seated the food does come out in a timely manner. If you come during the week, it is a pretty fast seating. definitely have five star service food and environment. I wouldn’t recommend to anybody visiting the DFW or just trying to check out a new place, you will get wonderful food and a great experience.More

I've read other reviews and they are all raving about how good this place is and they are NOT wrong! Yes, there is usually a short wait but well worth it. We had a breakfast omelet fixed the way we wanted it. It was served...with some of the BEST pan fried potatoes I've ever had. The Butter Tart was divine and my husband loved the Cream Cheese filled Blueberry Scone. A bit of Canada come down to the Canadian River1!More

I do not eat Hollandaise sauce, so I am not sure if that is made from scratch or not. Best to call the diner and ask them.

I was a walk in at the Maple Leaf Café. I was seated immediately. It was late in the morning so it was not crowded. I do not know if they take reservations. I hope that helps.
