First of all, we had the best waitress, Neidy! ❤️ The food was fresh, excellent portions, and sooooo good. My sister had turkey wings, mixed greens and yams. We also had the chicken wings, cornbread, and cabbage. You will NOT be disappointed.

We waited about 10 min to be seated as the waitress continued to walk pass without acknowledging our presence so we asked can we seat ourselves the waitress said yes . We sat for 30min no one came to our table . They took orders from tables for takeout that were already served instead of serving us after 10 more minutes we left we tried to be patient . The service is terrible the waitress don’t even say hello . The food looked delicious but I’ll never return. Date night ruined .

I'm allergic to fish. So, when I call the staff always is there to assist me in getting my order correct and they bring it out to me since I can't come inside because they serve fish. The food is finger sucking goodWheelchair accessibility: U can eat inside or outside. They also have beef ribs my favorite

ordered almost everything on the menu, delicious, but can be a bit salty, if you are cooking for alot of us with high pressure, this can be a problem., some times great and like tonight I could eat the mac and cheese , it was like the salt fell into it.,

Recently I moved out here from my home state about 3 years ago back home we got tons of soul food spots that are on point I was really hopeful this would be it cause a coworker recommended I’m starting to think my co worker hate me cause yall really did me dirty I got the fish meal and it was basically skin you sent me the Mac and cheese was regular like I could make that the potato salad was regular I want the type of soul food like back home soon as I get paid from work I’m telling the family we ordering the spot it’s Friday we spending money on the spot this did not happen like to the point I’m afraid to even try soul food in New Jersey like yall really got me contemplating soul food from Jersey like yall gotta do better for the people like this ain’t it legit the only thing I got was the banana pudding and that was like a couple spoon fulls and I was done here’s the skin of fish I got like when I go back to work imma ask my coworker if we have beef lol cause he sold yall to me but I’m convinced that he too ain’t never had real soul food God bless y’all and I wish yall the best I would not recommend yall to anybody cause I would be responsible for the poor choice of food I sent them yall be safe

I just ordered from them and the chicken was so salty and I can take a good seasoning. And I'm not at all a salt sensitive person at all. The uptown was so sweet that you could fill up one cup with a gallon of water and you can still taste the sugar. They were very stingy with the portion of cornbread. The mac and cheese was okay portions they were stingy with the portions of their sweet potato fries. Overall, I expected more out of this place with the hype around it. I was a little disappointed I really wanted to like this please but I don't think I'll ever try it again. It's money wasted to me for me personally, Popeyes tastes better.

This place used to be one of my faves, the service is terrible. Ordered online, went to pick up 45 mins later (1 platter mind you). I get there it’s no food, claim order not received and then they proceed to make the wrong order, bagged it and sent me on my way. Also, why are the collard greens sweet? And they downsized the portions significantly since I was there last. It’s a hard pass for me from now on.

OMG!!! Everything was delicious...the staff is friendly and the atmosphere was a definitely vibe. I haven't had soul food that this good from outside in a very long time. And I'm from the area which says a lot.. Nice job guys I'll definitely be back ????

First off, I almost didn't make it since my GPS was acting up! But thanks to a local and the young lady at the restaurant, I was able to finally find the restaurant. My son and I were craving some soul food and decided to give The Juke Joint Soul House a try and do not regret it! I was greeted with a smile and the atmosphere was nice. The food was delicious! My son had the catfish, mac & cheese w/potato salad. I had fried chicken, mac & cheese w/potato salad. I even ordered two extra meals for tomorrow. I did order takeout, but they do have a dining area. Pass by and give them a try. I do recommend. Thank you

Ordered a chicken wing dinner from JukeJoint yesterday, they sent me chicken from the Chinese restaurant. Also sent this tiny slice of cake that I was charged $6.00. I’m done ordering from here.

The inside of this place is extremely beautiful for my first time ever being here! A nice small low key environment which I love! Unfortunately we arrived and sat for almost 40 mins with nothing but cornbread on our table no drinks! The place literally had 5 tables eating which 2 tables were already done! No one came to take our orders at all! Once the African American server came to us it was no apology or even a hello. She just stared at us with a attitude, and then asked are you gonna order! We replied no we’re leaving and she just walked off. Oan the other server (a lite skin beauty) apologized to us for the misunderstanding thank you sweetie! Lucky for them I’m a blogger who will be eating this place down! I’ve opened a lot of restaurants across the states and never in my life have I ever encounter a place like this one! I will not be returning! See you guys in the funny papers ❤️
