    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!

    The 130 Shop (Located in Riveredge Row Strip Mall)…read more35 Riveredge Rd. Tenafly, NJ 07670 French Dip Tater Tots Marshmallow Soft Serve Appearance: 10/10 Taste: 10/10 Located in the Riveredge Row Strip Mall at the intersection of Riveredge Road and Tenafly Road is a locally owned high end sandwich shop. Let's check out the two course meal I explored: French Dip: This signature sandwich was loaded with shaved prime rib, bits of bell peppers and was topped with melted swiss cheese. It was perfectly diagonally sliced on an Italian baguette. The beef was tender and juicy; also included was a savory au jus and a sharp horseradish sauce which both enhanced the flavor. I was more than satisfied down to the very last bite. Tater Tots: The tots make an excellent side to the sandwich. They were crunchy on the outside while soft and pillowy on the inside. The ketchup is a pretty decent, but the garlic aioli wins the dipping contest by a long shot. Marshmallow Soft Serve: To close out the meal, I explored this heavenly dessert. Roasted marshmallow is added to the base of the ice cream. The appearance may be simple and plain Jane, but its rich, smooth, and creamy taste is in a league of its own. As a bonus, a complimentary water cooler with ice and lemon slices is available. If you do not wish to drink water, a variety of cans and bottles are available for purchase. Thank you server Hailey and the cooking crew for preparing a flawless meal. #the130shop #130shoptenafly #frenchdipsandwich #marshmallowsoftserve

    What does one do on the day between Ash Wednesday and Friday in the first week of Lent? Eat MEAT!!!…read more If you are looking for a fantastic food oriented small business to accomplish this task, @the130shop has a menu full of meaty goodness. #The130Shop 's powers that be decided that @BigDudesBigFoods needed to try everything on menu! We started with the "French Dip" with plenty of au jus. Batting second was a delicious "BaconGrilledCheese" with cheddar & chihuahua cheese and some savory tomato soup for dipping. Joe & I hit up the "1/2. LB Meatball" samich next which was so good that you think that you are at a place that strictly makes meatball parm sandwiches. We tried the "130 Cheeseburger next with bacon lettuce and tomato . This double burger masterpiece is piled high and tasty too. As though there was any room on the table in came the "Buttermilk Fried Chicken" with cherry peppers, coleslaw, pickles and sherry Aïoli. That is no ordinary chicken sandwich. Also in this cruise buffet rivaling feast was a "Chicago Style Hotdog" with the works, perfectly cooked shoestring fries and crispy "tater tots." There was not a bad bite in the bunch. My favorite was the Bacon Grilled Cheese and I think Joe's was the 130 Cheeseburger but he also liked the horseradish sauce that came with the French Dip. Not that we want to disappoint our followers but there were doggy bags involved. The 130 Shop is really cool spot in Tenafly,NJ with a great staff and amazing chef.‍ It's part of a trio of establishments in the area with 130 Club and 130 Social. If you are ever in the area you've got to stop in. It's only a half hour from Yankees Stadium if you want to grab a bite once you are back in NJ. #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #BDBFCertified #BDBF
