My husband and I decided to try Grackle for a rare kid-free date night and it exceeded every expectation. The vibe was so cool, the staff was friendly and helpful, service was quick even though it was busy and the food....the FOOD! We rarely eat out so we splurged and ordered quite a few things and everything was SO GOOD. The fall farmers market salad was my favorite!
Easily the best salad I've ever eaten. Next date night we're definitely coming back!

Very high quality ingredients. Even the salads are unique and taste like they picked everything fresh from the garden. Entrees are made in a scratch kitchen and it is reflected by the fantastic flavor. Craft cocktails delish!
Service was exceptional. Our server Logan was knowledgeable, great sense of humor and absolutely never made us feel rushed. We will for sure be back!

Stopped in for a quick lunch with my mom and had a great experience! The decor is clean, simple, and very nice! Also appreciate the outlets in the booths in case you need to charge your phone.
The food and drinks were really good. Nice touch with the ice cube that spells out Grackle too! We tried two different dipping sauces and enjoyed both of them. I will definitely return to try some more. Service can be a bit slow at times but we didn’t mind because we weren’t in a hurry.
Response to Owner: Perhaps you should get both sides of the story before responding as disrespect and rude go both ways. I left before receiving my food after my interaction with your bartender. Good for you for standing behind your employees who lack basic customer service and people skills. Hope that is a good long-term strategy for your restaurant's success. You will note that I have never left a poor Google review ever. If I don't have anything positive to say, I move on; however, my experience at your restaurant compelled my review which I stand behind.

So excited I got to celebrate my birthday at this amazing new restaurant! I love Margie’s Kitchen and Cocktails (it doesn’t get any better than having local, truly family owned restaurants—the family who owns these restaurants is so wonderful and these communities are lucky to have them!), so I couldn’t wait to try out Grackle.
We had the truffle dippers with truffle aioli, sun dried tomato aioli, and spicy honey mustard for our appetizer. I loved all the sauces, we all especially loved the truffle aioli! I had the tostada salad, so good. My husband had the Chimichurri Coulotte Steak and he graciously shared some bites. I may have had food order envy, I’m definitely getting it next time! Our 10yo ordered the “chicken dinner”—chicken breast, mashed potatoes, asparagus and LOVED it. She said it was so fancy. Such a cool option on a kid’s menu! The Mac n cheese was too fancy for our 6 yo who’s offended by anything except the blue box kind, so the rest of us will help her finish that because it’s delicious. We finished off with crème brûlée, which was perfection.
Our server Charles, was top notch. He was helping train in new servers (our other server was also amazing I just didn’t catch her name!), and was so attentive, especially good with our kids! Awesome location, food, ambience and staff, can’t wait to go back!

A MUST VISIT!!! My husband and I picked Grackle for our anniversary dinner and it did not disappoint. From the top notch service (Lexy you are awesome) to all the thought out chef prepared food. We truly had the BEST experience. We tried lots of food all of which we gave 10/10! Can’t wait to try everything on the menu. Well done and welcome to Maple Grove.

Second visit was even less impressive than the first. The staff still seem to be finding their groove, I’m sure it hasn’t helped that the menu has already been changed/simplified. Our group of seven ordered a variety of items - starters, small plates, bowls, burgers, and steak with nothing more than a “meh” reaction. Price-point is on par with nearby Pittsburgh Blue, Biaggi’s, and Redstone, all of which I would recommend over Grackle. I don’t think they compete in their weight class even if service improves - disappointed.

Shiny new restaurant located in a crowded restaurant market in Maple Gtove. However, it stands out for both the food and atmosphere. You'll enjoy it. We all did.
Server Jacob knocked it out of the park!! Great first visit complete with the history of the place, great recommendations, and all done in such a fine fashion. Loved the food, cocktails, and atmosphere and was surprised to see it so busy on a very cold windy week night. Looking forward to coming back! Norma K.of MG

We started with one server, who was absolutely amazing then for some reason they switched to another who was not so good. All our food was really good but the Korean chicken sandwich needs some spice. Both my son and I got it and were very disappointed in the lack of heat and flavor that Korean sauce is known for. Overall atmosphere was great. What a beautiful bright space.

It has a more upscale feel than when Wahlburgers was there. The food options are varied but not overwhelming. The mocktail is a nice option for those who want something other than soda. The food was tasty. The additional side sauce seems to be the signature food item. The truffle aioli was a good choice for fries.
