My recent visit to Maple Landing was an unforgettable culinary journey that left my taste buds dancing with joy. From start to finish, every dish was a masterpiece that showcased the chef's expertise and dedication to crafting exceptional flavors. Let's talk about the star of the show - the chili cheese fries. Oh my goodness, these were not your ordinary fries! They put chunks of brisket in the chili! There were an explosion of flavors, with the perfect balance of gooey cheese, zesty chili, and the crunchiest fries I've ever had. Each bite was a tantalizing combination of textures and tastes that left me wanting more even after I had devoured the entire plate. And then came the banana bourbon bread pudding. It was as if the dessert gods themselves had concocted this delectable creation. The warmth of the bread pudding, infused with the rich notes of bourbon, paired harmoniously with the sweetness of the bananas. It was a sweet symphony that played on my taste buds and left me in pure dessert bliss. Of course, the meal wouldn't be complete without mentioning the brisket and sausage plate. The tender, succulent brisket practically melted in my mouth, and the sausage was bursting with smoky flavors that had me savoring every bite. The plate was a true testament to Maple Landing's commitment to quality and authenticity, and it left me with a newfound appreciation for barbecue done right. The ambiance of the restaurant was equally enchanting, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, adding a personal touch to the dining experience that elevated it to a whole new level. In conclusion, my time at Maple Landing was a delightful journey through a symphony of flavors and culinary artistry. The chili cheese fries, banana bourbon bread pudding, and brisket and sausage plate are undoubtedly the stars of the show, but the entire experience was a masterpiece in its own right. I can't wait to return and indulge in the culinary wonders that Maple Landing has to offer once again.

Stopped by for a first try after a trip to UTSW. It was 530pm high traffic time. Love that this little place is a nice unexpected delight in this busy medical district. There were two ladies working: one at the bar and one at the end tables. The lady at the bar warmly greeted us with a huge smile. The two of us sat at a high top. The bartender then came to wait on us. She was quick to walk on over as soon as we sat. She handed us menus and took our drink order. Then she was back in a flash. All the while still handling the people seated directly at the bar. We both order the BBQ burger with the goat cheese and Jalapeños. I opted out of Jalapeños. He opted out of BBQ sauce. I ordered a side of potato salad. He ordered a side of house chips. We both enjoyed our burgers. They were big and hot. I didn't care for the overabundance of large red onion chunks in my potato salad. Otherwise, it would have been great. The house chips tasted like they had been fried in fish or with fish. There was a definite "fishy" flavor to them. Otherwise, the texture was really good. But taste was off. So these two items brought my food stars down to four. Great service. Really good atmosphere. Lots of happy people talking and enjoying their meals after working hard all day. We were so glad the multiple TV screens were not blaring sound because it would have been overwhelming with all the patrons talking. It's really nice to hear people talking and laughing over a meal instead of the silence of people mesmerized by their phones. We really enjoyed the place. The smells of all the different plates available were wonderful. We are planning a return to try some other things that looked delicious on the menu. Highly recommend you stop in for a bite.

Decided to sit outside as we had our dog. Immediately met with menus and shortly after two cheerful servers. One was on her last day of orientation. We were there for brunch- ordered a beer, mimosa and for food ordered the chicken and biscuit and the brisket migas. Mimosa was what you would expect, same with beer lol Food was bland. The server ordered two chicken biscuits on accident both werent great. The chicken was cold, not crispy at all, dry and tough. You know when you eat day old kfc? It was worse than that by far. The biscuit and gravy was alright- nothing exciting. The bacon was good. There was supposed to be syrup also but there wasnt and the menu said $3 for syrup 😵 so we skipped asking. Wouldnt remcommend this dish unless you like really bland food. The migas were brought out without brisket..... when asked if there was supposed to be meat, the server apologized and we were met by the manager(?)And a small plate of brisket explaining he was training a cook and apologized. The migas were surprisingly healthy looking- reportedly tasted good even before the brisket was added. The bbq sauce was strange tasting, recommend trying but dont recommend using without tasting first. Lastly another mimosa and coffee old fashion was ordered. We have had multiple coffee old fashions at Derby and they are great, this one at Maple Landing was not. It tasted like cigarette butts/coffee grounds.🤢 All in all the service was cheerful and kind. Will return to try other things on the menu and report back!

This is a neighborhood type of restaurant. I had tried the turkey burger, which was very good, and the actual bun was very moist with all the dressings on it. The mac and cheese was made with a type of white cheddar and some other type of cheese with bigger shells. It just needs a little bit more seasoning, but it wasn't too bad. The homemade chips weren't too bad, but I would like to go ahead and try there. I believe bread pudding next time. They did have a drinking list, which was a huge list to drink from, but I'm not a drinker. I am a kimchi lover, but I was told it's americanized. I told him, "Never mind I rather have the real thing not watered down. It's not fun if you have another cultural food that's watered down taste. Try it like it's supposed to be not what it is not supposed to be like. My server name was Amir... which I thought he was saying I was here, and I said yes, I know I can see you, LOL🤣... he was very kind and sweet. There's someone else to whom I'm not sure if he was management.... but had glasses on and had a hair color, such as Duran Duran Nick Taylor would have back in the days. He was friendly also. The atmosphere was very laid back, and they had outdoor seating. I did wish they had the mist sprayers that can lightly spray the water on you, which would be on a timer. It's very humid outside right now. There weren't a lot of people around, so I made it kind of nice to sit and just listen to something on Youtube while enjoying the atmosphere.

I’m amazed - it was a first time for both of us. Staff: Perfect - I walk in and am immediately greated very nice.

I went to the bar and Frank was stupendous. I picked 2 allocated bourbons I’ve never heard of - and he let me smell them to pick. The William Larue Weller won - and it was bind blowing!! Point being - crazy good staff!! Score: 10 of 10 Food: I got the chicken tenders (asked for crispy) and all sauces are made in-house. Ranch was fabulous, honey mustard was delicious and very unique. 10 of 10 (I’ll be back!) Banana Bourbon Bread Pudding Crazy delicious!!! Your eyes will roll back into your brain!! Candied pecans, caramel sauce, perfect balance of spices and bread. Best I’ve had since the 1990’s. Score: 12 of 10 Atmosphere: Perfect. They have low-top, high-top, booths and bar seats. Nicely arranged. Look at their 4 clocks - and ask what the times mean! (Hilarious!) Patio seating is good - and they have a back game room which doubles as a private party room. Anything you need they can do. Score: 10 of 10 Overall Score: 12 of 10. I’ll be back and regularly!! GO! GO! GO!

It's a Restaurant located close to our apartment complex. Went for dinner on Friday night First and foremost they have an awesome whiskey selection and great whiskey specials.. we started our evening with a shot of buffalo trace (5 bucks each) I had beer and my partner had Rhett's Cherry Limeade.. honestly it tasted like nothing.. I don't think anyone looking at it or drinking it would associate the drink we received with a cherry limeade.. We had the Potato/Tortilla Chips with Queso the Queso was too thick and tasted like Velveeta (im being honest) He had the Spud with brisket and a salad and I had the brisket and sausage plate with Carolina slaw The brisket is actually pretty good.. actually it's freaking good.. Only problem is portions.. 5 small pieces on this plate. The dinner roll was so dry and the tiny cornbreads were cold.. Everyone knows that true Texas brisket is a labor of love and I would not mind paying more money for more brisket had I known the portion was going to be this small.. definitely would have substituted the sausage for more brisket.. the sausage was not good.. I see this place is popular for Brunch on the weekends but it was almost empty when we went on a friday night.. Service was really good the server was quite polite and talkative Definitely wont return for dinner.. but will give brunch a try soon.. Maybe..
