Have been going here since I was a child and the food is always good. I recommend the Joes special or the chicken parm. You will not be disappointed.

Great service (friendly, helpful, attentive, professional) and delicious food. Old world ambience. The table bread is baked in house. Looks like a baguette but with rustic Italian flavor. Simply delicious! Fried oysters appetizer was very good - 3 large oysters with sauces. For $14 I think you should get 4 personally. Also had their "famous lobster bisque". It did have OK flavor, but the consistency was like pudding. Honestly, I was disappointed in it and wouldn't order it again. You get a delicious homestyle Italian salad to share family style with your entrées. I didn't realize that was coming or we wouldn't have had all the appetizers. The salad was fantastic! Definitely one of the highlights of the evening. For entrées, we had the shrimp and crab scampi with imported spaghetti and the stuffed shrimp. Definitely recommend the stuffed shrimp. Wasn't impressed with the scampi as the pasta was over cooked. One of the dessert options was banana cream pie made in house. It was so delicious and highly recommend. Worth returning just for that!

Last night we went to the Maplewood for my dad's birthday and the staff made the experience great! Though they seemed to be short staffed our waitress Mariela was wonderful! She had a lot of tables that she had to attend to but she was always checking in on us when she could! When she couldn't another waiter Brian would and he was just as enjoyable! Rocco brought out our food out and was very kind. He made sure he got us whatever we needed and was a delight! You could tell they all wanted to make the guests feel welcomed and appreciated! Our experience there was made by the people who helped us! The reason we didn't give a 5 star is due to the room being understaffed.

Food and service here is great! Appears to have a loyal following among families and seniors. The menu is old school Italian and continental specialties, everything from steak to fish, soup to nuts - all well prepared and tasty!

First let me say that our server Brian was great. Not over pushy, understood our needs and deserves a 5-star rating. Now onto the food- The appetizers were not what one the best- let's say 3-star, the stuffed mushrooms were watery in texture, the clam's casino were very small and the bacon piece over it was larger than the shells. Entree(s) Shrimp and scallops, red sauce- 4-star Shrimp Scampi-4-star Joe's Special-Well, this is where the biggest failure happened. Portion size 5-star, but there was something missing, oh yeah, FLAVOR- it was bland, it lacked the garlic flavor, although garlic slivers were there, just not enough (2 people had this meal) Desserts- 6-layer Carrot Cake-yes Cherry Pie- yes Biscotti-yes Banana Pie- not so much Atmosphere- Not to bad- if you are looking for a larger dining area, this is a good place-however, placement of restroom door to hallway where restrooms are- awkward. Would we go back? 1/2 said yes, the other half said no.

Old-fashioned diner experience. The interior is 70s-80s fancy. Food was good. Portions were generous. I got a half-order, and it was more than enough. My eggplant entree came with two sides, as did all meals. We all were served bread and salad (family style) as well. We enjoyed the bread. I was also impressed by the vegetable sides. The green beans were perfectly roasted and garlicky. The broccoli was fresh with garlic and lemon. Everyone in my party of four enjoyed their food. Those who got full orders had leftovers to take home. Service was efficient. Good option if you're in the area.

After several visits to this location, I have finally decided to place a review. I can say that the quality is very consistent and good. Although the food is very good, during my last visit, my steak was slightly overcooked. Didn't complain because it was still very good. I have always had wonderful service! Staff is very friendly and attentive. They are always very quick to bring you your drinks, refills, and food. There is usually a little wait for bar drinks but you eventually get them. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. It is great for a date night or a family dinner. Will eat there again.

Maplewood III is a timeless classic. This is simple, old-school Italian food. As summer kills in, you can always find their soft-shell crabs on the menu: fried, with a side of fresh, bright tomato sauce. Get the homemade pasta on the side. Service can be fast but the staff is welcoming and seasoned. It's a great spot for a quiet dinner with someone you love, or to celebrate a big event.

Ordered 4 takeout dinners on a Saturday night for pickup at 6pm. I arrived 10min early and paid. Everyone was friendly and upbeat. The place was busy. The girls were hustling to get people seated and get the numerous takeout orders ready to go. Dinner was delicious. My Joes Special Pasta was tasty and had fresh seafood. The portion was generous. My dad liked his veal- it had three pieces. He had requested to get veal piccata but had to stick to the menu. My mom liked the crab cake. There is one to an order. The entire order was packaged well. The salad had too much iceberg lettuce ratio to other greens and the iceberg pieces were too big. I was disappointed; it seemed cheap. The bread was ok. It came with butter and a dipping sauce which I liked.
