Sweet Maple Cafe


1339 W Taylor St
Chicago, IL 60607
(312) 243-8908

This place is slap-yo-mama good. Well, I wouldn't actually SLAP my mother (because I enjoy living). But I would slap someone's mama - because the food is so good! The only downside is the wait. Yes, I know the whole "ooh, the food is so good it shouldn't matter if you wait for it" argument. Thing is, when the wait gets so long the people in line start side-eying tables and figuring out which grannie would be the easiest to take out...that's a problem. Either extend the hours, add on or get rid of the small tables and seat everybody country-style (long table, shoulder to shoulder with friends and strangers).

The food: get the pancakes, any beverage with strawberries, biscuits, ham, eggs and bacon. I don't eat bacon and I eat bacon at this place. Get plenty of food or plan on never leaving the table to go to the bathroom. Your table partner WILL steal your food. You'll notice. You'll argue. Your good mood will evaporate. You won't speak to each other for the rest of the day. You'll start to talk about one another. Someone will get his car keyed. Someone's house will get egged. Ex'es will be slept with. Someone will go to jail. Was it worth all that? Order the extra chocolate chip pancakes and save your friendship.
