    Chicken and Waffle
    Alvin M.

    Local diner serving very affordable food with large portions. The chicken and waffles and omelettes are my usual breakfast favorites here. The staff are very nice and refill your coffee often.

    Got grape jelly for our burger and chicken wrap. Perfect!

    This is an awful diner. We have ordered takeout from here whenever we aren't in the mood for much and just want something basic. The food is consistently lackluster, but edible. Today, however, was the final straw. I ordered the chicken Philly cheesesteak wrap, hold the peppers and NO SIDE OF FRIES; they are always undercooked and terrible and just go straight in the trash. Of course, the (extremely greasy) wrap was full of green peppers (an unholy act for a PHILLY cheesesteak plus I despise green bell peppers) and there's a big pile of gross halfway-cooked fries I didn't want. But it gets worse. My partner's Taylor Ham and egg burger.... wanna guess? ... was just a grilled burger patty with cheese on a bun. No Taylor ham, no fried egg. The lettuce and tomato was wrapped separately in tin foil, so at least they gave him something to put on the burger. There was also a separately-wrapped pickle, but he didn't get his side of cole slaw at all. Looking at that sad display, I said never again. I'd rather eat taquitos and dried-up pizza slices from under the heat lap at a 7-11 before eating from the Maplewood Diner again.

    Came here late night and as expected it was empty. The waitresses on duty were really friendly and expectedly were pretty attentive since it was pretty dead, except for a few straggler other patrons coming in for small orders. I got two shakes, a vanilla and then a strawberry and neither of them were stellar. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt since it is a diner and have heard that of the three diners in Maplewood (the other two being Parkwood and Maple Leaf) this is the lesser of the 3. The Vanilla shake was alright and the strawberry one was just eh. The cherries were a nice touch but they were those kind out of a jar were also eh, but did make for nice presentation. My biggest gripe is I found that for how the milkshakes were, and at a diner they were a bit expensive. About $5 bucks each I find that a bit high especially since I've had much better and cheaper at other restaurants and diners. Perhaps I'll find myself here again, but I think I'll skip the milkshakes and try the other usual diner fare.

    Really enjoyed my dinner! Service were very friendly. Food were delicious. Place was very clean!

    Homefries with onions and peppers $5.57 ..........
    Stephanie S.

    Called in to get homefries with onions and peppers this morning ... menu says $3.95 got there and was charged $5.57 ... for just homefries ... apparently onions and peppers are extra. Extra is ok but $6 for just homefries? Not even a sausage added in? No ma'am. I've been here several times they are really over priced.. the food is just ok. Pros: Waitresses are very nice. Place is clean. Never crowded. That's it... Update: I keep trying to give this place a chance but hell no.. overpriced as hell!!!! This half containehour of homefries was $6. Are you serious?!! Will NEVER return.

    Food was ordinary. While the service and ambience is good, the food was significantly better with the old ownership.

    Didn't get half my order but made some decent food for lunch very quick. Fries were a little soggy but my panini was good.

My wife goes there fairly often; I, on the other hand, only go occasionally. Over the years, I had always been happy with the quality of the products they sell, but lately the pricing has gotten completely out of hand. We were there this past Saturday for breakfast. We shared a shakshuka and had two mocha coffees in the table area, and my wife also ordered a salmon toast. That was it. Somehow, this breakfast cost as much as four meals we had at an Israeli restaurant in NYC the very next day -- and, by the way, those meals were far superior to anything I've ever had at Liv. While at the NYC restaurant, we noticed they charge only $7 for fresh-squeezed orange juice -- in a larger portion than Liv's $12 glass of OJ. Their shakshuka is also only $16, compared with Liv's $22. And this place is in the heart of NYC, not in suburbia New Jersey. I also used to love getting Liv's cookies and croutons, but those have become expensive beyond reason as well. Two packs of cookies, one crouton, and a mocha coffee came to over $50. Seriously? At this point, it is clear to me that the owner's strategy is to keep raising prices to see how much he can get away with. Well, as far as I'm concerned, I'm done. I will no longer be patronizing this kind of price gouging.

The kind of confidence that doesn't announce itself, it just delivers. Then there's the crema de cilantro and aji, which basically tag team your taste buds and ask, "You good?" Yes. I'm great. Mind your business. This is not a, "Instagram made me do it" sandwich. This is a composed, disciplined, shut up and eat sandwich. Every ingredient is there on purpose. No freeloaders. The owner is a Peruvian chef who lived in Canada and now cooks in New Jersey, which explains why this sandwich has flavor, restraint, and zero patience for mediocrity. This isn't fusion, it's life experience on bread. Fair warning: eating this will ruin weaker sandwiches for you. You'll start asking questions. You'll judge more. You'll be disappointed elsewhere. Peruvian soul inside, llamas, Incas, Cusco, with Maplewood graffiti keeping it honest.
