    Cool small spot with homemade kinda food and service. Just tried it for the first time on Xmas eve and will most definitely return again and again.

    Although I wish the menu included some breakfast staples like biscuits gravy, blueberry pancakes and the like, I still respect red maple for its integrity. It's straightforward, opens before the sun comes up and quiet in the mornings.

    Red Maple wall of fame.

    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!

    So, we moved to Closter 5 years ago and have JUST discovered RED MAPLE. These are the hole in the wall, greasy spoon, old time breakfast joints you search for when traveling to some unknown destination. But to find one in your very own back yard is just too good to be true. Perfectly cooked eggs (any style), a generous portion of crispy bacon and hash browns (comes with a miniature cup of OJ - from concentrate - and a cup of coffee); plus a short stack of fantastically light pancakes and local friendliness, makes this is our new favorite breakfast spot. Thank you Red Maple.

    Great local spot. Food is always fresh and served with a smile. Staff is friendly and attentive and the prices are on point. Go to spot if your ever in Closter.

    Great breakfast luncheonette. My BF grew up the next town over in Demerest and this is a old family favorite.

    Greasy spoon, good food but the seating could use a deep clean and an update. The benches have zero cushion left. Very nice staff!

    The best breakfast! Sometimes service is a little backed up but worth the wait! It's backed up because people know this place is the best!

I drive by here all the time and finally had a chance to stop in for their burger. It's grilled on the spot when you place your order, and while it's good, the show stealer is is the ice cream. Great flavors that you'll fight over, it's almost it's hidden secret. If the hidden secret wasn't already being to put coins in the dispenser and getting chicken feed. The coops are just down the farm, a short walk from the outdoor benches. It's pure fun, just like this place.

    Farm Cafe 40 Old Hook Road…read moreCloster, NJ 07624 Homemade Hibiscus Iced Tea Farm Burger This country style cafe is located on the Abram Demaree Homestead farm. This building has been around since 1700s and was formerly a general store and tavern. All of the menu items are freshly prepared in house using organic ingredients directly from the farm. These are a couple of the lunch menu items I explored: Homemade Hibiscus Iced Tea: This herbal beverage has a reddish color; its appearance is different from an original iced tea. The drink was very refreshing with a slightly tart taste. Farm Burger: This ounce angus patty includes lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, and a secret sauce. I also added yellow American cheese for a $1 up charge. I cannot identify the ingredients of the secret sauce, hence the name. It was really tasty and I requested a small extra cup on the side for dipping. For the most part, this was a tasty burger. Next time, I will request to have the patty cooked medium well because I feel a well done burger compromises its flavor. This cafe also serves as a farmers market; they sell grocery items such as homemade honey and farm fresh eggs. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating. I highly recommend dining in so you can take in the country atmosphere. #farmcafe #abramdemareehomesteadfarm #farmburger #hibiscusicedtea #closternj

The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and never intrusive. We ordered the prime rib, steak, and steak burger. The prime rib was fresh and thinly sliced but a bit underwhelming in flavor. We ordered the steak well done, so it was drier than expected, and I found it a little too salty. My husband, however, really enjoyed his steak burger. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere and service more than the food. I'd still come back to try other menu items because the overall dining experience was worth it.
