"On our way to Saginaw, we decided to stop at The Maple Grill, a highly-rated farm-to-table restaurant with over 20,000 Facebook followers. First Impressions: Upon arrival, we found the parking situation and entrance a bit confusing. There weren’t clear signs directing guests where to park or enter. Once inside, we were greeted by a cozy, rustic ambiance, but again, there was little direction on what to do next. Several employees were present, but no one initially provided guidance until a waitress finally explained the ordering process. Ordering Experience: The menu is displayed on a wall near the counter, meaning you have to make quick decisions, especially if there's a line. Since it’s a farm-to-table restaurant, the menu likely changes often, which is great for variety but can be overwhelming without descriptions of the dishes. A printed menu at the entrance would be more convenient. Food Service: The food itself was delicious, well-prepared, and priced fairly. However, when we had questions about certain dishes, multiple staff members seemed unsure of the answers, which raised concerns about their familiarity with the menu. Despite the longer wait time typical for a farm-to-table establishment, the quality of the food made it worth it. The Downside: The biggest drawback was the lingering smoky scent from the restaurant's cooking process. After sitting for an hour, we left smelling like we had been at a campfire. This could be an issue if you're headed to an event or work afterward, as the smell clings to your clothing. Improved ventilation would make a big difference. Overall: While the food was excellent and the concept appealing, the lack of clear instructions, the rushed ordering process, and the strong smoky smell were drawbacks. If you're looking for a relaxed, rustic dining experience and don’t mind the lingering aroma of wood smoke, The Maple Grill is a great stop. Just plan accordingly if you have somewhere to be afterward!
