I was in the mood for a power breakfast. This place was exactly what I needed. Although it's not the cleanest diner I've ever eaten at they make up for it with the their great service and good food. The place is very small but they had counter seating right in front of the cook preparing my breakfast. The food came out fast. It was nothing fancy but it hit the spot.
CASH ONLY!!!!
This place is a real treat! It's a greasy spoon, to be sure, but clean and comfortable. My waitress was nothing short of a delight, and the rest of the staff seemed equally lovely.
Most importantly, the food was delicious! It was served fast, hot, and fresh, and was really far above average.
I look forward to going back!
I was having some work done to my car in Closter and after dropping off the car, me and my sister needed to have breakfast.
A quick search didn't reveal too much but Red Maple looked like the place to try.
Walking in you're quickly transported to something reminiscent of what you'd maybe expect to see in a 1950's diner (minus the checkerboard floor and shiny chrome).
Red Maple is a intimate small town (where everybody knows your name) vibe breakfast place.
In fact, several customers came in and the staff clearly greeted them by name; clearly indicating many were regulars.
I ordered a full stack of pancakes topped with fresh blueberries and they were excellent. I love my pancakes, and these were expertly made with the perfect thickness and more importantly an awesome fluffy texture.
Blueberries were very fresh as they had a nice pop to them when I bit into them.
The fresh butter was great and the pancake syrup (only slight negative was that it was not maple syrup) was very welcomely served warmed.
My sister enjoyed the full stack of French toast that was equally excellent with a nice texture (not soggy but not too bite through). There was a pleasant hint of cinnamon as well in the batter which also added to the flavor.
Her dish also came with sausage which she indicated was very tasty.
We also ordered two sides in home fries and Taylor ham.
The home fries were cooked with a slight crispiness that was yummy.
Taylor ham was actually my first time eating this NJ staple and luckily my first Taylor ham left me very happy as it too was yummy.
Overall a very filling, honest to goodness, hearty old-school breakfast done very well; and who doesn't like that!
