My family has been waiting to try Maynard's out and so far have only tried their brunch. We went the other morning for brunch and were pleasantly surprised to find out that there wasn't a huge wait first of all.

Right off the bat the only thing that really put us off is that we had our 3 year old with us and they handed us a kids menu but it was for dinner/lunch. I asked if they had a kids menu for brunch and were told no by both the waitress and the hostess. They said that they could make her something but it's always hard to do that when they don't have a menu because you never know what they are going to charge for said items. Ideally they would have a few different kids options but instead there were none. We ended up ordering her a $5 english muffin since there wasn't other options really, definitely not ideal. I would have loved to order her an egg, toast, fruit option etc.

( I had previously messaged the restaurant asking if they had kids menus for brunch and didn't receive a response until after we had already gone, oddly they said that they did in fact have a menu and that they will need to re-educate their staff. I did appreciate the quick response and have managed multiple food establishments myself so the response wasn't taken lightly. I just would have much preferred to have received the proper information for my daughter so she could have had a better meal. )

They started off by bringing us complimentary lemon poppyseed muffins and they were a pleasant little surprise. I tried the biscuits and gravy and scrambled eggs and it was really delicious! The gravy was really tasty and the scrambled eggs definitely tasted like fresh eggs (you know how you can just taste the difference with fresh eggs, these definitely tasted that way). My husband tried one of their breakfast burgers and absolutely loved it.

The food was quite enjoyable and we were very glad to have gone to try it out. We will have to come back and try the dinner another time.

On the way out I did also buy an Almond Croissant to try later, I was disappointed in the lack of Almond paste, it really tasted more like a croissant with almonds on top instead of filled with almond paste. Now, I went to school as a pastry chef so sometimes I can be a bit picky about them but definitely would change up their recipe on that one.

Overall though, enjoyable experience. Most of it tasted great and everyone was extremely nice while we were there, just need to make sure that everyone on staff is well informed about the menu so that children actually get a good meal next time!
