Very loud inside. But grateful we had a reservation.Parking: Thank goodness I arranged for a driver from a service in Temecula. I was celebrating my 75th birthday, with family members who all live in San Diego.

Although Great Maple is off the beaten path from downtown San Diego, it was well worth the short trip!!! The food was amazing and definitely one of the best meals we had during our trip!

It was a lovely Sunday Easter Brunch. Don’t miss the standard on the menu Pork Belly and polenta!Kid-friendliness: The staff is very attentive. They could tell that my waitress hadn’t been here for a minute and the front hostess person saw that and she came over and immediately took our drink order before our entrée order.

Great Maple in San Diego is a culinary gem that truly lives up to its name! From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming ambiance set the stage for a fantastic brunch experience. The menu, brimming with innovative dishes, offers something for every palate, but it's their famous maple bacon doughnuts that steal the show – an absolute must-try! The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff ensuring a memorable visit. Whether you're a San Diego local or just passing through, Great Maple is a dining destination that shouldn't be missed. Five stars all the way!

Delicious food, fun and different menu offerings but everyone came away satiated and we all look forward to another visit. I enjoyed the kale quinoa salad, another deep fried banana and peanut butter pancakes. We started with their turnovers. Yum! Super fast service with a smile and on Easter we were all expecting a wait.

The food was great, service great, I guess I'm still getting used to the post-Covid prices. I didn't order the fried chicken but I will next time! It looked amazing as did the popovers! I know they're known for brunch, so their Bloody Mary assortment wasn't available. Next time!

Fantastic brunch place, super tasty, super portion sizes and super friendly staff.We were very happy with our trip, couldn't possibly eat any more and still took a lot of food home!It got very busy, very quickly after 9am so book in advance. By the time we left, there were 7 people waiting to be seated.The food was very nice, the service was very good and the portions were huge. We had the 2 farm egg breakfast, French toast and brisket. All were delicious and all were taken home for another attempt. On that note, it is expensive but the amount of food you get is impressive...Parking was good around 8am however after we left, there was hardly a space free.

The best french toast I've ever had. We got Great Maple French Toast Logs and California Chorizo and split them before the two of us.The french toast was perfect and it paired nicely with the chorizo. This is a brunch place you can not miss in San Diego.
