Maplewood III of Vineland

I’ve been here many times before spanning decades. I visited this past weekend with my mom. I retired the day before, so this was a special occasion. The bread and salad were as I remembered, very good. My mom ordered a cup of fish stew and that was very good. When they brought her broiled seafood platter, I immediately noticed it looked overcooked. The clams casino was burnt black. The fish was dry and stuck to the metal plate. The shrimp were too salty. I had ordered surf and turf. I requested the filet mignon medium rare. It was medium well. Although it had a decent flavor, it was dry. The lobster was even off. It had a weird mushy texture and didn’t taste like any lobster I ever had. I never left lobster meat on the plate before but I did this serving. About this time the manager visit

As someone who was born and raised in Hammonton, I’ve always believed it had the best Maplewood location. After dining at the Vineland location- it’s safe to say I was wrong. Everything was great- just as I’ve always known it to be since I was a kid BUT better. If you have room for dessert- make sure you get whatever pie they have seasonally (peach pie was to die for.)

After dining several times at Maplewood in Vineland I can say that the food is pretty good. My only issue is how much they cram people in there. It makes it very difficult to have a romantic meal when the next table is right on top of you. While we waited for our reservation, we waited at the bar and it was a lot more private and less cramped there. Service has always been very good. They don’t try and rush you. The prices are a little on the higher side, but that’s what you get for a better quality product and service. Not my favorite restaurant, but great place for a good meal.

It's a great little place! Bartenders are very friendy and make a nice drink! We had dinner at the bar. And met some very nice people! Food was great and so was the cocktails! It's was pretty busy luckily we found some seats! I would like to come here again!

We love the Maplewood and the service is always very good and consistent. Usually for 25 years coming here food is excellent. Could there be a new change in the culinary staff? Tonite something seemed off as if there’s a new cook. The salad was very heavy with vinegar and our meals were not the usual high quality, smaller portions ok but at high prices we expect better. The stuffed shrimp with crab was too salty and shrimp scampi just didn’t taste the same. Will take a break hopefully in a few months it will get back to normal if this is just a hiccup of a different cook. Service was excellent though.
