Another excellent experience at Maple Block. Service was fantastic and the brisket and chicken were delicious. We loved that the pulled pork didn't come out drenched in sauce--it had just enough to balance the fatty pork.

We visited on Monday, December 9 for my son’s 21st birthday. I wanna say our server’s name was Isaac. I’m not sure I got that right but he was absolutely amazing. We sat at the table right next to the front entrance. He was the best server. We had a great time and we truly appreciated him making it a great night.
