Wonderful experience eating while visiting from Boston. This is a must try while in Vermont.
Everything we tried was delicious - elevated and home cooking esque all at the same. DO NOT SKIP THE CORNBREAD. (We tried the cornbread, mizo black sea bass, steak tips, and maple creme brulee)
Ambiance is warm and inviting, and the chef owners are great hosts. Exactly what we wanted after a long day.
Recommend getting a reservation (at least for a Saturday night)

Stayed in Rochester for a ski trip and Maple Soul was right down the road. I don’t know what I was expecting but it certainly wasn’t to be transported to another world when I tasted my food. Everything was perfection. Started with the corn bread and muscles for appetizers. The corn bread is like a warm hug from your grandma. I hate that I had to share it with the table. The muscles were hands down the most delicious muscles I have ever had. Tender, full of garlic and perfectly cooked. My only complaint is that they didn’t serve it with a straw to drink the juices when the muscles are gone. Maybe bring your own loaf of bread if you plan on getting this because it’s a crime to let those juices go to waste. For entrée we got the bacon wrapped meatloaf, the pork chop, and shrimp and grits. I’m sure you can guess by now that all 3 of these dishes were incredible. The meatloaf was moist and flavorful, the pork chop was the most juicy and delicious I’ve ever had. Pork chops can be very easily overcooked and ruin a meal, but they know exactly what they are doing here. The shrimp and grits was fantastic. It was also a huge portion and I felt like I could barely make a dent in it. It made for excellent leftovers with a fried egg on top the next day (shoutout to our server Caitlyn for the recommendation on that and for being so friendly and putting up with me and all of my gushing about the food!!). We finished it off with the maple crème brûlée and it was of course incredible. I highly recommend you make it a point to stop here. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

We've never had a bad meal here! The service is fantastic, the food is always delicious and the menu changes based on what's in season. This has to be, hands down, one of my favorite restaurants.

My wife and I are from the south and love traditional southern food. The shrimp and grits here were on par or better than any we get back home. Maple Soul is a great find and we would highly recommend it.

Delicious food and top notch service. This is an establishment that really shows what the highest level of a local mom and pop can be.
Anne Richter
Absolutely amazing! The food is INCREDIBLE and the farm-to-table concept is so cool. You can really taste the quality. The staff are so friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. We loved it so much we came back the next night to try more dishes, and the chocolate cake for dessert was heavenly. Can’t recommend this place enough!
Such an incredible spot and I’m so glad I found it! Amazing food and the kindest staff I’ve ever encountered at a restaurant. Thank you so much maple soul for making our last hot meal before camping so wonderful!

This place is fantastic. Not only is the food exceptionally good, but you can tell that thoughtful planning went into every aspect of the menu, dining area, and staff. Place is generally quite busy though, especially Fridays cause of the town events, so make sure to check availability!

Food is always excellent and changes daily. A very nice wine and beer selection. Biggest issue at last visit seemed to be a shortage of wait staff
