My husband and I was finally able to visit Maple Tree Inn after hearing so much about it from so many people. We went on Valentine’s day. I was initially concerned because I knew it would probably be extremely more busy then usual because of it being a holiday! Then I thought well they are tammy busy on a regular so I’m sure they will be able to handle it. Everyone was super nice the whole night. We were initially irritated because itv did take a while for the waiter to come to our table once we were sitted but we understood that it was a busy night due to it being Valentine’s day.
The menu had so many options that sounded yummy so I had a hard time picking what I would have. Ultimately I decided to start with the crabcake which was so good! I got the fried chicken, greens and mac and cheese! Everything was delicious! I also got the cornbread! My husband got the blackened ribeye and he was really happy with his choice as well. We will definitely have to return because there were so many items that we would love to try on our return. So I’m sure we will be back over ave over again.

Laissez les bons temps rouler at the Maple tree Inn! It’s a classy little Creole/Cajun brassiere in Homewood.
Definitely get reservations, because this place is bumping. We had a Saturday night 630 seating for 3 and it still took them 20 minutes to get us to our table. We didn’t mind, it gave us an opportunity to get a cocktail at the bar. By the time we finished our espresso martinis and a Champagne 75, our table was ready.
Our server was working like a mad man. He was covering for a lot of other tables and it seemed like only some of the staff was super attentive and hardworking, where others were kind of just there, but not like really doing much.
No matter, our time there was great and our meal was awesome.
Definitely get the bourbon roasted oysters. The sauce is sooo good for sopping up with their bread.
Oh. They have draft wine! That was kind of neat. We guzzled a few liters and stuffed ourselves with a sampling of 3 or 4 starters and 3 entrees.
Do yourself a favor and get your tuchus to the Maple Tree Inn. You will love there spicy, deep flavors and fun atmosphere.

Where do I start!!!! If I could give this place more than 5 stars I most definitely would. We started off with the crawfish fritters, the fried green tomatoes and the jalapeno cornbread. The crawfish fritters were good but the fried green tomatoes were out the ballpark delicious. So good we ordered a to go order. The jalapeno cornbread has the perfect crust and a super moist inside and was accompanied by both a sweet and savory butter. Now I am not a huge gumbo fan (because of the okra) however, their gumbo is so perfectly prepped you don’t even know it exists. Moving on to the service. We had Joe as our server. I can’t say enough about how excellent our service was. He was friendly, knowledgeable and most of all passionately service full!!!

I’ve been here twice and I really like the place.
I’ve tried the red snapper entree, catfish, Mac and cheese, turtle brownie, peach cobbler, cornbread, and beignets.
Pictured, but haven’t tried: voodoo catfish and friend chicken.
This time my cornbread was a bit burnt at the top, and I wasn’t a big fan of the red snapper entree specifically the etouffee sauce. The turtle brownie was too much chocolate. The description says drizzled with Carmel sauce, but it also had chocolate drizzle which wasn’t stated in the description. The peach cobbler was ok, but not worth the $12 in my opinion. The ice cream they have on top tasted like medicine, but my 3 year old son liked it.

They have an excellent vegan dinner and dessert menu – just phenomenal! Loved the food, service, and atmosphere. It’s a bit out of the way location wise, but worth it for a nice date night!

This was my first time dining here, my sister had been here before and this was her recommendation. Now it will be my recommendation, seriously. Our wait staff Ozzie was insightful with the good recommendations for me because I’m not a spicy eater. I was debating between the boil or the pasta dishes. He suggested the shrimp boil and that it would be on the garlicky side. What a treat for a garlic lover, there were whole cloves in the boil. Happy Dance!!!

I came here for dinner to celebrate my birthday. They have complimentary Valet. The atmosphere is pretty, I took plenty of birthday photos. We did not have to wait long, HOWEVER, I STRONGLY suggest having reservations because its a very popular restaurant. The customer service was top tier from the hostess to the server. Our waiter OZ was very helpful in helping us decide on what to order. I had an Espresso Martini, the Red Snapper and crawfish etouffee, fried green tomatoes, and cornbread. The food and drinks were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Everyone enjoyed their food. I got a birthday card and beignets. I will definitely be going back.

Had a late lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. I’ve eaten here before, so I knew what to expect.
I expected a great atmosphere. Jazz playing in the background, nicely decorated.
I expected the service to be good and it was. Our waiter was very attentive and if ever he got delayed in coming to our table, there were others waiting to fill in the gap.
I expected good food and yes it was! I had the Surf and Turf Thibodaux (a pasta dish). We thought they forgot the bacon, but it is very thickly sliced. not the bacon you’d cook at home. The dish was quite tasty.
I ordered a beet salad and a slice of sweet potato cheesecake to go. The cheesecake was amazing. The salad was not what I expected. Considering the most inexpensive thing you can get at a restaurant is lettuce, the other ingredients need to be over the top. It would have been more flavorful if the beets were pickled, but that’s just my choice. It says roasted, but the beets were flavorless. They supplied one small container of the balsamic dressing, which was not enough. This then brings me to my last expectation… cost. Though the atmosphere is good and the service is great, the food does not make up for the price which I feel is a little expensive. The Surf and Turf Thibodaux was thirty two dollars. The salad and the cheesecake that I purchased for later was thirty dollars!
Salad aside, I have to again say that I enjoyed the meal… just not the prices.

This was my first time visiting this place and I was beyond impressed. They have a Nola vibe and everything that crossed our table tasted amazing. The service was beautiful. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly. The managers all walked around and greeted everyone and women at the front desk were very approachable. I can’t wait to come back and try something else on their menu.

Food was really good. I recommend the burnt ends and Mac & cheese. I wish they gave a other option besides thighs for the fried chicken but my mom enjoyed it. I know it’s a creole/Cajun inspired restaurant but I do wish that everything wasn’t so spicy. I wanted to get the cornbread but it has jalapeños. Not pictured is the gumbo which is nice but too spicy for me.
