Place is great for breakfast or lunch. Â Super friendly owner is constantly chatting up folks and cooking on the flat top. Â Food is great and is prepared spot on. Â From omelettes to french toast, Charlie knows his stuff. Â Â
On a side note, I am amazed at some of the reviews that attempt to criticize this place for what it clearly doesn't attempt to be. Â It's like going to Wendy's and giving them a review as if one was expecting a gourmet experience. Â The Red Maple is exactly what it is advertised to be and isn't apologizing about it.
Just an OK breakfast place.
It reminded me of waffle house. (Do they have the awful waffle up here? Its a greasy spoon staple in the South.)
Kinda disappointed that the only vegetables available were tomatoes and onions.
My western omelet was just a flat scramble with a whisper of green peppers and onions.
If you're just looking for eggs and toast and the other usual suspects (pancakes, bacon, sausage) then look no further.
If you like vegetables at breakfast, Â then skip it.
Red Maple ROCKS! This is the real deal. A main street, old school luncheonette with as good a breakfast as it is possible to have. I just moved to the area from Manhattan so having good food with good vibes is important to my mental health. I will not be wasting much energy figuring out where to have breakfast - Red Maple will be my staple.
In addition to a terrific omelet, fantastic homefries (a true judge of a breakfast joint), and reasonable prices, the owner Charlie and waitress Mercedes both had just the right combo of welcome and wiseass.
Definitely put this place on your short list.
My husband and I went in for the first time this past week. Â We heard about the restaurant from yelp and wanted to try it out since we were disappointed by the local diner. Â People at Red Maple were very friendly and although they did not know us they did seem to know everyone else in town! Â The pancakes and omelettes were great, but the sausage was amazing. I definitely recommend giving them a try if you're in the area. Â They also do takeout. FYI, they only accept cash!
Review Source:Some of the best home fries I've had in a long long time. The portions could be a tiny bit bigger but there's no need to be picky. It really is amazing how this place looks like a gift from God when you compare to that pathetic diner down the road. Everyone knows everyone at Red Maple so if you aren't in the mood for a local-fest, try elsewhere.
Review Source:The Red Maple is an old fashioned luncheonette, set in the heart of Closter.
They have a long counter you can sit at, or small booths in the back.
Charlie is the owner and main chef, and makes the best homefries in the area. Eggs/Pancakes/Tuna Melts.. whatever you want, they have it.
Such a nice treat seeing as NJ is so overrun with diners!
fun fact: The Red Maple was used in an episode of Law & Order: SVU.
