The New Maple Hill Restaurant

I stopped at this place to try something different, boy was this different. This place should be called the Sugar Hill, where the macaroni is soggy the peas are smoosed and the chicken taste like wood. The owner seemed to be a over aggressive hen, with no idea how to run a business. The staff although homely was nice

We just picked this place off of Unilocal and it has been our best meal in NJ thus far. The escarole soup rivaled any wedding soup that I have had. My son enjoyed his French onion soup. I had the fried chicken and it was the best I had ever had. My son, who is always searching for the perfect meatloaf said this was the best of the three he had in the area. The vegetables were good. They were steamed without any butter. Really good diner meal. Best of the 6 so far in NJ on this trip.

I just moved back in town after 6 years of living over seas.
Iv bin on a soul search looking for a good home town restaurant since I came back, and I found it!
Although the food is average (still better than most places)
The energy in this place is fantastic
The staff is nice
And the kitchen is clean and professional.
Recommended to anyone who wants to have a nice time with family.
What a fun breakfast:)

Back again. Early dinner. Ordered their Chicken Parm w/​side of penne and Manhatten Clam Chowder.
Chowder was great as was the chicken parm.
If your looking for good solid cooking and food, This is the place. Better than most dinners in the area.
BTW: Not as many people, so the noise level was down.

I would rate it three and a half stars if I could. I had gotten the jumbo lump crab cake sandwich with broiled crab cakes. For the first couple of bites, it tasted quite delicious and had a legit crab taste but towards the end it felt kind of heavy, most likely because of all the oil. The fries were pretty fresh too but I didn’t end up finishing everything. It was nice that I had gotten a free soup with it though since it was lunch time. In terms of atmosphere, it had a homey diner feel. I would probably come back again though to try the breakfast since those are usually the highlight of a diner.
P. S. Don’t get the chicken croquette because that’s what my friend got and it was rather dry and bland in comparison even though it comes with potatoes, veggies, a salad and a dessert.

**Disclaimer: I did not get any of their breakfast options, which is what a majority of people reviewed.
I randomly found this little residential diner on Unilocal and decided to give them a try for lunch, but I was pretty disappointed with my order. I got the chicken croquette meal which comes with a soup or salad (I got the Caesar side salad), mashed potatoes with gravy, choice of veggies (I got green beans), and pudding or ice cream (I got the black cherry yogurt ice cream). To break it down:
–Caesar side salad was solid, although the salty croutons kind of overpowered the rest of the salad.
–Chicken croquette was a little dry even with the gravy and there was a huge lack of flavor and seasoning on it so after a while it started to get hard to enjoy.
–Green beans were terrible… super soggy, mushy, and tasteless (but they give you butter on the side to make it «better») – it was a struggle eating it.
–Black cherry ice cream was pretty standard, nothing amazing – you could probably get the same thing at your local grocery store.
–My friend ordered the jumbo crab cake sandwich with fries and his dish was far better than mine. The crab cake itself was delicious and you could really taste the crab. Overall, not too dry, good flavor+seasoning, and huge portion for only $ 9 (including the fries, which were nice and crunchy as well). ***Note: Mon-​Fri from 11 – 3, all sandwiches come with a free side of soup.
If I were to come back I would probably try their breakfast options and see if they are better than their lunch and dinner menu. However, it’ll probably be a while before I come back here to try anything.

To the person who said they don’t use real veal is untrue there are not any patties in the rest get ur facts straight before you speak thank you

Great little local restaurant. Breakfast was great and the service was good. Laid back atmoshphere. We took a menu and will be trying take from here soon.

This place is a dive on the inside and out, but I think the old outdated (but still functioning) restaurant equipment behind the counter and the group of old tough but nice waitresses really give the place good character. Been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Best breakfast in town with a variety of specials. Like most diners I rarely get anything besides breakfast food but my wife is always satisfied with her lunch and dinner selections. This place is really popular with the old timers for some reason I’m usually 30+ years younger then the rest of the patrons.

Great breakfast. I recommend the French toast or creamed chip beef. The staff is always friendly and accommodating.

Friendly place, with a great tasting breakfast. the bacon was done perfectly and the crispy home fries with onion was awesome (they ask if you want it crispy, say yes!). A very relaxing place.

I’ve been to this establishment numerous times and each time the service has been fast and friendly and the food has been delicious.

Hometown friendly diner! I’m home again! Chain restaurants need more of this appeal.

I have been to this establishment two times and it was two times too many. The staff are flighty and cater to the regulars (because you know, why make new regulars?!?). I see tables getting cleaned off and was told I would be seated as soon as some people get up to leave. They ignore my party for almost ten minutes and seat people before us (and being assertive apparently does not work). People walk in behind us and sit at a clean, open booth, when we were obviously waiting. Additionally, it smells like a nursing home in there, their bathrooms are filthy, the wait staff look like they’re from a Roseanne episode, and the customers all look like they’re about to keel over from massive heart attacks after shoveling corned beef hash and silver dollar pancakes down their throats. I do not recommend this place.

I’m amazed that I’m the first person to write a review for this place. In fact, I had to create their Unilocal page! I stumbled upon this restaurant as I was looking for free wi-​fi in the Maple Shade area. While I expected to find a large Perkins-​esque restaurant but I was pleasantly wrong.
Pulling up to this place may catch you off guard and you may be hesitant as its a small little building on the corner of an intersection with a small parking lot. Once you walk in, you’ll see a sign to seat yourself in one of their booths or at the small bar top. I came at lunch time on a Monday so I was surrounded by lots of happy locals laughing and socializing.
The menu is your standard diner menu, only they have real photos of their own food and not the standard cookie cutter pics some diners have. I ordered the monte cristo sandwich (ham and turkey with Swiss in between two thick warm pieces of French toast, lightly coated with powdered sugar) with a side of fries. The sandwich was a hearty portion and the deli meat was very delicious. I believe the deli is fresh cut to order too. The fries were VERY delicious. Perfect crispness. I could order a whole plate of them to go.
Maple Hill was a perfect find. You can’t beat a family owned and operated diner with the local friendly atmosphere. The cook/​owner even asked me how my food was. I hope this new Unilocal page and review will help spread the word to all hungry travelers!
(Yes, they take credit cards. And they have FREE WI FI)
