text: 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 mins for a table which was not to my liking since it was only of us But being that it was a sunday and we had just arrived in Vegas I did not 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 people maybe the restaurant is not very big in itself so it does not help the rate at which you get a table After about 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 was not so much better we actually requested to be changed to a table underneath one of the ceiling fans which helped I do not know if the AC was not working or if they chose not to have it on now that we are out of the summer time but I definitely cannot imagine being in there during a hot Vegas summer under those conditions nAnyway 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 notso 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 do not 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 nnAs 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 should not go here if you are in a hurry You might wait a little bit but I think once you try the food you will forget about that
