| - On this last trip to Vegas me and my gf decided that we wanted to get away from the buffets a little bit and look for some of those places that the locals recommend. After doing a little research on Yelp of course, we decided on the Maple Tree for our first morning there. We arrived in Vegas just a little bit past noon on a sunday, which ended up being a real good thing since we avoided the huge breakfast rush. Even then, we ended up waiting at least 20-25 mins for a table, which was not to my liking since it was only 2 of us. But being that it was a sunday and we had just arrived in Vegas, I didn't let it bother me much. We started off our wait standing outside because the little "lobby" is as tiny as you can get, sitting about 4-5 people maybe, the restaurant isn't very big in itself so it doesn't help the rate at which you get a table. After about 15 minutes of waiting the seats in the waiting area opened up so my gf and I went in there to sit down, big mistake. The area was so hot and muggy with the sun hitting it directly and no ventilation, we were about to step back out and keep waiting outside but they called us up right at that time so take us to our table. Inside the restaurant the temp wasn't so much better, we actually requested to be changed to a table underneath one of the ceiling fans, which helped. I don't know if the AC wasn't working or if they chose not to have it on now that we are out of the summer time, but I definitely can't imagine being in there during a hot Vegas summer under those conditions.
Anyway, so we finally got to our table and ordered our drinks. As we looked around we noticed the homey, country kitchen vibe that others describe. Again, the restaurant is not very big, it is located in a small strip mall, so you end up pretty close to your table neighbors. After asking for recommendations from the waitress, I ordered the country fried steak and home style potatoes, my gf went with the Cinnamon raisin french toast. And after all the waiting the first time I tasted my food, I completely forgot about the couple of not-so good things. My steak was real new york strip steak, not that fake frozen cube steak they use at most places. The gravy tastes absolutely amazing, not canned, which is common. And the potatoes??? Great!!! I don't even like onions, yet they tasted so good in these. My gf really liked her food as well, she said the french toast looked and tasted like it had actually been prepared from scratch.
As far as the staff, they were all really helpful and courteous. WE actually even got night club recommendations from our waitress. We loved this place so much we both agreed that it is now a must on any future visits to Vegas. If you love good home cooking, you must try this place too, but you probably shouldn't go here if you're in a hurry. You might wait a little bit but I think once you try the food you'll forget about that.
