“I eat here whenever I need to slurp on some noodles bc the broth and the decent portion of ramen ? is ?. Tbh I was surprised how this was in Newark cause the outside for a sec can make u think the shop is abandoned yet once you go inside you smell what’s been cooking. The price is definitely right ($13) and I am happy a plate of DELICIOUS and savory ramen isn’t overpriced like other places. I enjoy coming here as it’s very fulfilling. And this place definitely deserves it’s recognition as it’s 2 good 2 b true 2 be in Newark (no offense) ?♀️. Overall, the vibes and food, plus free WiFi and outlets is a place Ik I can enjoy a meal while doing work or relaxing. Either way Ramen Gami is ”

The Yard
“I must say The Yard Newark is one of the best things that has happened to Newark. Kai set the tone for his staff and the environment there. I consider myself as a Customer Service expert with 20+ years under my belt. The customer service is amazing and inviting. The environment has its own special vibe. It is nice, clean and cozy at The Yard making every customer feels like family. Last but not least “the food!!” The food is beautiful, awesome and so good.I brought my 76 year old auntie in and Kai took her order and catered to her every need and she loved it so much. That’s just Kai, he treats everyone that way. I’m so looking forward to so much more with The Yard ⭐️”
“Food was AMAZING! Service was great too. Got the chicken kabobs with a sauce the lady working recommended. They were amazing, so was the rice thing she recommended.”
“Staff was very attentive and the food was very good. One of our waiters, Gerbin was especially very kind and accommodating, doing everything he could to fulfill our requests. Very nice! Our bartender Kevin also had a kind demeanor, very friendly and attentive.”
“This tiny little spot has the most delicious ribs. It's a no frills kinda place that hits the mark every single time. Their food is always so good, prices are extremely reasonable & staff is always friendly. Only downside is finding parking can be a challenge, but this place is worth it driving around the block a couple of times.This location is CASH ONLY! :)”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Beautiful and modern interior design with incredible ambiance Great service The dishes are beautifully presented in artistic elegant plates The pastas are freshly made with amazing texture”
“My curiosity led me to Sabor Unido in the Ferry Street area after reading all the rave reviews. Wanting to see if it lived up to the hype, I convinced my brothers and their families to join me for a dinner outing.I started with the Grilled Octopus, and it was fantastic! The Calamari appetizer was delicious as well. My wife and I both ordered the Hanger Steak – a nice change of pace for this Rib Eye enthusiast – and it was incredibly flavorful and tender. My side of sweet plantains and fried Yucca was a delightful surprise.We skipped dessert since my brother brought a cake for the celebration, so I can't speak to those. Overall, the service was great, the food was excellent, and I'd highly recommend Sabor Unido.”
“I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! the food is DELICIOUS and hits every single time.The service is wonderful- shout out to my favorite guy, Henrique. He makes the best foodRecommendations and is overall a great human !Atmosphere is amazing.”

“Jimmy is the best cook you can ask for! When I stop in to grab lunch, I’m always grateful to see his face. I eat here 3 times a week because it’s near work and I feel better about eating this than any other fast food place. Black eyed pea burger and sweet potato fries is the lunch of champions. Don’t forget your hibiscus tea! Tell them I sent you if you see this review.Vegetarian options: Greatest quick option for the area.”

Burger Walla
“It was a really fun and chill atmosphere. I had lunch with a colleague here recently. I enjoyed my time here. The samosa burger was interesting and stacked. The pickles were crisp and yummy. The sweet potato tater tots were more burned than crunchy but overall still alright. I really like the selection drinks. Great place for casual dining and lunch with friends as well.”
“I was recommended by a dear friend and can't thank her enough.I’m glad I visited the Tavern. Let me tell you what I was missing so close to home. Great menu choices of delicious food with reasonable prices. The hospitality was amazing. Felt right at home, they really know how to welcome you. I highly recommend this place. If nothing else satisfy you, try them. It’s a definitely do over for me.”
“An honest Irish pub that pours a great pint, has lots of young people at night and keeps you occupied with TVs and a huge number of tchotchzkes that remind you this place dates back to the '30's. Oh, the music playing over their system on Friday night was just right for my crowd. If you're looking for a comfortable place to have a drink, this won't disappoint. If you're looking for an upscale bar...well why are you in Newark?”

“Very nice dinner, took the fajitas which I really recommend! A lot of food, could barely eat all but it was extremely tasty! Maybe a bit crowded and noisy but hey, what do you expect from a restaurant on a Saturday.”
“Kayla, was our server she was so attentive and helpful! She completely made our experience so special! The food was amazing the drinks were delicious! I would so recommend it if you’re looking for a good vibe! A place to just chill and enjoy ?”
“Gourmet Lunch is amazing! Please go in to the door on the left "Gourmet". Maria makes the best food, and it is fresh every day. The menu changes depending on what she has, so you can call ahead if you would like to know. She usually has meat, chicken, 3 types of rice, plantains, vegetables, beans, and sometimes shrimp. I'm sure the side selections may change during the seasons. The meat is so tender, and the chicken so flavorful. Maria and group are so sweet and genuine too. I am happy to support this business, and so is my heart and stomach.”
“Love the food here! The salmon burger is delicious and the new renovation looks amazing. Great place for a drink on the patio! The owner Yaneris is very kind. #LoveLocal #”
“I went to Ocean Seafood last weekend for the first time. I was in search of octopus. Not only did they have it, but they had multiple options. It was very good quality. Was excited to see so many options for seafood, and even some Spanish specialty items (cheeses, sausages, and more)...all at very reasonable prices. This is very likely my new seafood market.”
“My go to! Love the food because it’s always cooked fresh! The owner is fast, cordial and keeps the restaurant clean. It’s my hidden gem for shawarma, lamb, chicken and falafel! I highly recommend!”

“We had a super deli dinner at this place! I recommend the sangria, the salmon with shrimp in garlic sauce, the clams and the oysters!! The chorizo is not even super delicious ?”
“What a wonderful hidden treasure! We’ve driven by so many times without stopping in but I’m so glad we finally did. Food and drinks were all fantastic and service was warm and friendly.

“What a great experience! From start to finish everything was top notch! The staff was friendly and so accommodating! The food was absolutely amazing! We are definitely going back again.”
“Great space and courteous service. Food and drinks were delicious. We had 1 charcuterie (olives) and 4 tapas. (Artichokes, lamb chops, chorizo and squid ink paella) Plenty of food for just the two of us. My only advice would be to ask for plates to come one at a time. We felt a little rushed. Our son is there today ( just a day after we were there) ... we suggested he ask for more relaxed service. We shall see ...”
“If you’re a Cheesesteak lover, Philly style, I highly recommend Prados in Newark! I love everything about this place, only drawback the inside could have more room for additional tables but the food, Serb ice and atmosphere- oh and prices- are spot on! I had onion rings with my cheesesteak they were good too! No parking lot but there was plenty of on-street parking and the guts that work there are super helpful and pleasant! Don’t go to Prados - Run to Prados!! Highly recommended!”
“I arrived and the first thing I thought was... It has a little piece of my land here... Here is Honduras... They have the seasoning... Of the food... the spark of attention that still characterizes Hondurans... I loved the variety and Without a doubt I recommend it 100%.. They make it possible to enjoy what we like.. THANK YOU very much?? BLESSINGS”
“Omggg I been trying to get here and I don’t regret it ! Food was 10/10 and I rarely eat diffeeeent cultural foods ! I’m hookah ! Not to mention the music & the drinks Shareena was my bartender and she was amazing ! ?”

Café Avenida
“The term don't judge a book by its cover, perfectly describes Cafe Avenida. Friends had invited me several times and I was very hesitant based on the restaurants exterior. Doesn't help that NJ's best burger (Krug's) is directly across the street.Wow am I glad I finally tried them out, my T-Bone steak was perfectly grilled medium well. My wife had the grilled Picanha with rice and fresh cut fries.The food was rustically served on wood plates which made the whole experience all the better. Service was on point, very friendly, and we never waited more than a minute to get additional drinks. The server even brought me to thru the kitchen to see the brick oven grill behind the building. Very impressive setup.”
“My first visit and it won’t be my last. Excellent service and delicious food!!! Large portions of wild black rice mushroom chic peas sweet potato….can’t wait to try other menu items. It was with the one hour drive!!!”
“On my first visit, I was welcomed in 15 minutes before they opened and was able to place my order before the front door was even unlocked. Great onion rings, an incredible burger and good vibes all around. I didn’t expect the fat-daddy pickle, but it was a welcomed surprise.I’ll definitely be back!”

“Best customer service hands down. The food tasted fresh and the portions are huge however I did not like the jerk chicken pasta but the wings and rice and beans were good. I willBe ”
“(Translated by Google) Good place only that they should have the right of admission since when I went there was an annoying drunk person who did not stop yelling and insulting but the staff was very nice(Original)Buen lugar solo que deberían de tener el derecho de admisión ya que cuando fui había una persona molesta borracha que no dejaba de gritar y insultar pero el personal bien nice”
“I love this Dunkin.. the atmosphere is great it peaceful no one bothers you. I can charge my phone in peace. Oh and I gotta say these are the freshest Donuts I've ever had in any Dunkin donuts they put a nice thick layer of icing on there donuts ?? amazing..”
““ALEM”Everytime I come to this place it feels like a completely different place as soon as I’m greeted with a good morning and a giant smile from “ALEM”! Super kind, professional and nice is an understatement! ??”
“A super great good location winter spring ?? summer and fall .a lot of homeless ness around business which is not a good look at all over all great customer care service and spot was clean as well a little 2023 face lift won't hurt at all at all”
“I have to give this 5 stars for the great combo of a decent price, better than average airport food and healthier options than everything else around. The ordering was easy and straight forward and the kiosk is nice looking.”
“Have been using this vending option for several years now and always impressed with the fresh organic options. I find that the machines are generally well stocked regardless if day of the week or time of day. Pro tip: try the truffle couscous chicken bowl (absolutely divine!!)”
“Nice, clean, and spacious store. Comfortable seating. The staff is friendly. Washrooms are access controlled and clean. Parking is available and free :-)They were cleaning the floor while we were there. I guess it might get a bit messy if there was a larger crowd but they managed it well – and did not cause any inconvenience.”
“My experience at this White Castle was very good. The food at this location tastes better than any other White Castle. The sliders and chicken rings are good and I pair them with a Dr Pepper. The store is very clean and the service is alright. The prices are also very reasonable.”
“Come here fairly often. Even when it's busy the food comes out properly. My only complaint would be the arrangement of the drive through. Traffic gets a little nuts in the am. They also run out of donuts fairly quickly. In the years I've been coming here I've only had maybe 1 or 2 orders messed up.”
“We had several hours before our departure so we decided to eat at the diner. I had the onion soup and my husband had the fried chicken dinner. My husband found the chicken overcooked but tasty, sweet potato fries and cole slaw were excellent. Our server was very good. The menu stated coffee options of almond milk, cream, low-fat or whole milk but only low fat milk was available.”
“Atmosphere? Be careful of people soliciting right before you walk-in. The service and food is decent with timeliness, the workers are careful with your orders too. They make sure you're handed the correct order which I appreciate.”
“Didn't get my order done right but I'm giving 4 stars because when I went back to fix it the employee was nice, helpful and didn't give me a actitude. I'm ok with people being human and making mistakes but now a days you don't get good customer service and that's exactly what I expect.”
“Even do almost everyone speak Portuguese, they give a great service, Hamburgers are a bomb and totally different from the rest, prices might be a little bit high , and they are worth it.”
“hello wanted to rate the young lady at the cashier drive through today it was very busy and she took the time out to let us know its busy and she was so sweet gave us our order and even thought the wait was long they way she went made it worth it I think her name was holly”
“Luiggi’s is family, the food taste like a loved one cooked just for you,and the girl who takes your orders is a sweet heart as well as the guys that do delivery… ”
“Great place for dinner. Sit down side and bar service side. Well staffed and excellent Portugese food. Many seafood options. Prices are reasonable. Eaten there a dozen times will on the way to Newark airport.”
“Came here with my girlfriend for Valentine’s Day what a night ! Henrique (manager) took care of us as if we were staff. The food was amazing as well as the jazz band playing. Recommend to anyone visiting the ironbound as well as the ”

“Was disappointed to learn that this establishment changed hands. However, I would give it a try. In the past, this was an old school blast from the past with the Nonnas cooking old school classic.The Nonnas are gone, the neighborhood has changed, and so, has the charm that this Cafe had.They've done a nice job, sprucing the place up. A few tweaks here and there..The pork roll/Taylor ham sandwich just isn't the same. I also ordered a chicken cutlet/Mozz/peppers/balsamic for lunch. I haven't tried it yet...Btw Prices have increased a little, but what hasn't.If I'm in the neighborhood, I would stop again but won't go out of my way anymore when I am headed to the airport with time to kill.”
“This tiny little spot has the most delicious ribs. It's a no frills kinda place that hits the mark every single time. Their food is always so good, prices are extremely reasonable & staff is always friendly. Only downside is finding parking can be a challenge, but this place is worth it driving around the block a couple of times.This location is CASH ONLY! :)”
“Love coming here for inexpensive girls night/ date night. Drinks are always spot on! Staff is super friendly. Food is great although I don’t prefer their pizza.”
“What a treat! This was our favorite typical "casado" meal while on our two week trip in Costa Rica! The herbed lemonade was fresh and delicious, and vegetarian casado plates creative and very fresh. The house homemade mango pepper sauce was delicious! The two women who ran the restaurant were so friendly and even let us take their photograph! Very clean, cute atmosphere. Highly recommend!”
“Listennnn, I drove an hour to try this place and I was not disappointed. Modupe was so sweet when we entered her establishment. She made me forget that I was in Newark. Her customer service and her food was superb. I will be back .”
“Sooo, I don't like anything made with apple. However, on two occasions, I overheard folk placing orders for the apply turnovers. Third time was a charm, I ordered one for myself and to my surprise I loved it.. I'm a frequently flyer now lol... and all thanks to Ms. Cathy...”
“It was a really fun and chill atmosphere. I had lunch with a colleague here recently. I enjoyed my time here. The samosa burger was interesting and stacked. The pickles were crisp and yummy. The sweet potato tater tots were more burned than crunchy but overall still alright. I really like the selection drinks. Great place for casual dining and lunch with friends as well.”
“So today was my first time ordering from the house salad off of DoorDash, and may I say the salad was on point. They wasn’t stingy with the portion and for me to build my own salad I can split it into for two people even though it’s one bowl. However The price is pricing but it’s worth it at the end of the day because you get a nice healthy hefty portion and it fills you up 10 out of 10 recommend. And if you was wondering, what salad did I get I built my own it was baby greens, Romain lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, feta cheese, carrots, roasted red peppers, croutons, Red onions, with grilled Chicken and crispy shrimp. My new favorite meal ❤️. I would have taken a picture, but I ate it already. That’s how good it was.”

“Stopped by for a quick coffee run & got a caramel latte. It was very delicious & for the price is totally worth it. They offer variety of milk oat milk, regular milk, almond milk etc. The young lady was nice & very quick. Overall if you're in the area definitely check it out!”
“If your from Newark then believe what you heard, if you’re not them call before you go because they sell out SUPER fast and when they sell out they close! Great ”
“Went here for breakfast and we are coming from 35 minutes away just to try their Puerto Rican breakfast and this place did not disappoint what so ever. The food came out fast and hot. We had (which l'II picture) two coffees, oatmeal (avena), ham and cheese sandwich (with the works) and a breakfast platter. This reminded me sooooo much of breakfast from the island. We enjoyed all of it and we will definitely come back out to try lunch & dinner food as well. But we wanted auth pr breakfast and that's exactly what we go. Not many around like this.I wish they would update the restaurant a little bit, it's a bit outdated and it has so much more potential for a nicer ambiance.”
“Great food, Excellent Service, Clean. A great place to Relax and eat.The waiters are top shelf. They've just added plant-based sausage and burgers, they were great. Also now open every day till 4:00 a.m.”

“Great spot for coffee, some assorted cakes and sandwiches. Has a great seating area, couches, chairs, tables, catch up on work or just hang out.Great hot chocolate too.Zero street parking allowed, paid lot around the corner.”
“This food is delicious and true to Dominican food! It is incredibly hard to find authentic DR/PR food in Newark area. Customers service is cool, you are greeted properly. They're usually very busy near weekends. I had the pork mofongo, the chicharron with rice and beans. Everything is flavorful and seasoned well. The portions are well rounded and filling. Price point is great. I'll definitely be back to try Empanadas, chicken etc. It's nice to finally get some real Dominican food around here! I ate it so fast I didn't take a flick, maybe next time.”
“Would give 10 stars if I could! Shikhana was super nice and the ice cream was amazing. Super creamy and tasty. If you like chocolate covered pretzels, consider the sweet and salty caramel pretzel flavor. Just moved to the neighborhood so I’ll DEFINITELY be back!”
“My family have been to Las Canastillas here and there over the years. We always thought this Salvadorean restaurant to be good, but we went recently again and found it to be outstanding. The food is amazing and truly represents Salvadorean cuisine. Their pupusas are delicious. They also have Salvadorean baked treats that you can’t get enough of. Additionally, over he past year Las Canastillas has upgraded their decor inside and out with beautiful murals, original art, vibrant floral designs and fun signs in Spanish and in English - making for the perfect place for a multigenerational family to enjoy an outing at a place that cares about every little detail.”
“Years ago I went here with my husband and the food was really delicious, I ordered a grilled octopus and I loved it, it was very delicious, but my husband and son and girlfriend ordered Rodizio and they didn't like the meat, just the taste. They took meat once and I just tried it and I don't know the taste was strange, but the very good service from an Ecuadorian boy, I think it was at the beginning, a girl who I really didn't like served us, she served us the sangria and poured a There was a pile on the table and he left it like that. I had to clean it with a napkin. Nobody likes to eat at a dirty table. Then that boy came and he took care of us very, very well.”
“Really good food, But as we use to call this spot "Crenshaw" *Menace To Society movie.....DONT b around after party and wanna grab an bite to eat You'll end up BEING the party”
“This Burger King is located near a hub of transportation, and thus it seems, almost always busy. The food is alright, but there occasionally are a vagrant or two taking up seats or even falling asleep in them. One of the night people however, does have a connection to access to homeless services which, according to a conversation I had, has helped a few find either shelters or warming centers.Vegetarian options: Few veggies. Garden Salad. Not much else.Dietary restrictions: Signs posted regarding calories and potential allergens informationParking: Modest sized parking lot to sideKid-friendliness: VeryWheelchair accessibility: Accessable entrance. Sufficient maneuvering room inside.”
“Let's just get this out of the way: yes, I ate at Taco Bell twice in one week. On Sunday I got food from a location on East Ohio Street in Chicago; it was terrible. I cursed myself for having the audacity to dine there. "Stupid!" I shouted into the mirror. Today on my lunch break I weighed my options and decided to roll the dice. I walked up Broad Street to this location, ordered a few things from the value menu and one Doritos Locos Taco Supreme, then waited patiently for my order. It only took a few minutes, then I was out on the street tearing into my order. I was relieved to discover that everything was hot and fresh. I devoured the Beef Burrito, reveling in the hot nacho cheese, with plenty of ground beef and well-textured rice. Next, a chicken chipotle melt. This tiny wrap is so small. I've seen thicker pencils than this lil guy. Taste was okay, nothing to write home about. And then my Doritos Locos Taco Supreme. The shell had broken and it was a trial to eat this without getting sour cream all over the place. The flavor was perfect though. So so good. I can't even remember what life was like before these bad boys hit the menu. Overall, a satisfying and affordable lunch. Yes, it's fast food, and maybe I got lucky today. No idea how consistent this place is but I had a great experience. Shout out to the team who made it happen.”
“Great Burger place...in my opinion Burger King Burgers are wa better than McDonaldVegetarian options: They sale salads and plant base Burgers that's so good u can't even tell its a plant Burger.”
“Food was good, fries were average, nuggets were average, chocolate frosty was good but looked like it had lumps in it. Service was basic but not bad, no seating just a counter and a kitchen behind.”
“First off let me start but saying May God continue to BLESS this establishment! I’m Kenyan but I love some good Nigerian food. A lot of my coworkers were giving great reviews about “one proper Nigerian spot down the road”. I came here after work ordered Jollof, chicken, fish and my favorite Asun. I wish I took pictures for this review but when I tell you not one thing missed the mark. CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE BOARD. I will definitely be coming back perhaps tomorrow even.”
“I feel the mc chicken and fries are really good in McDonald’s. If you order in drive through you will end up paying more try to order it from app and add mc chicken and use rewards and deals. I hope this helps ?”
“Leaving this review to hype up my favorite employee, Prince. Just an all around genuine and kind person. Prince remembers the name of every regular that walks through those doors (which says a lot, this is a busy university campus) and greets them as if they are a friend. 10/10 service and if Prince isn’t a store manager already, I hope a promotion is looming.”
“Have always enjoyed Hot Pot and was thrilled when this location opened. The layout of the place is a bit odd. The bar is stuffed off in a corner and there is very little room up front. These things are only worth noting because unsurprisingly, at least on the weekends, you will almost certainly have a wait. We were lucky to get a seat at the bar, but by the time our table was ready, there was a huge crowd stuffed into the front end. In the summer this may not be as big a deal, but on a cold winter evening, this could be annoying.Other than that, the atmosphere is cheerful and upbeat. The place being relatively new is as expected clean and bright.Selected the mushroom broth for the hot pot and it was delicious. Ample options make it interesting. The server was friendly and helpful in making selections. The only problem, and I don't know where the breakdown was, whether it was the person taking the order, or the people bringing it out, but every order we placed, had something missing. Not really.thwt big a deal as you just ask for it and they eventually bring it. It is just a little annoying, and I am sure over time they will get any bugs they have in their setup fixed. And everything else is with that little inconvenience, because all the food is fresh and delicious.A second trip for the BBQ was equally delicious, and unfortunately had the same issue with orders missing parts was still there. But it still isn't annoying enough to prevent me from returning again.”
“I went to Ocean Seafood last weekend for the first time. I was in search of octopus. Not only did they have it, but they had multiple options. It was very good quality. Was excited to see so many options for seafood, and even some Spanish specialty items (cheeses, sausages, and more)...all at very reasonable prices. This is very likely my new seafood market.”
“We love going out. Last night we came to this fine restaurant which we didn’t know before. We enjoyed a beautiful experience there with excellent food and an experienced stuff and a distinguished chef. We added this fine restaurant in our phone list and we will no doubt return soon. We warmly recommend.”

“Kayla is so so sweet! I have never had such a nice and caring server - especially at the airport. She brought everything out so fast and it was a very calm and relaxing process. She even let me chill out for a little bit after I was done eating, since my flight wasn't until a little bit later which meant a lot to me because the atmosphere in here was amazing and the entire staff was great. I can't wait to come back to this restaurant again. One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to. Take care Kayla!”

The pan-seared salmon with risotto were a culinary masterpiece, each bite bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. What truly elevated the experience was the impeccable service from our server.

“This sun-shined Street, is seconds off of Broad street Newark. Cafe Airlie is like walking into Cheers (The 80’s TV show where everyone knows your name). The owner/ manager is the friendliest person. Calling everyone that walk in by name. I soon felt like I was eating breakfast in my living and talking with my family. Everyone one that came in seems to interact. It really felt like home. The breakfast platter was yummy. Yesterday I had a chopped salad. Checkout their menu. I’m sure you’ll find something you like. Shop local. Eat with friends or family. This cafe was clean and had spacious seating. The staff was friendly. Come on in.Parking: Plenty of places to park and walk over .Kid-friendliness: The owner seams to be friendly with the school kids. I think that is Awsome since they are future members of this community.”

“I remember this place since I used to work for Bell Atlantic back in the day, before it switched over to Verizon.Growing up in the Ironbound section and it was Ralph's orange truck at Independence park when I was a kid before that.You still keep your prices low, which helps the rest of us greatly, and I remember the prices before 2000 which let you put away 5 or 6 of them easily.I even had one of your shirts, it was red on white, with the JJ's Hot Dog logo and "eat me" below it. That always got looks when I wore it in the summer down at the shore.”

“Small spot with seating for 12 or 14 people inside. Deserts are amazing!Had the cheesesteak sandwich, which is a filet, not chopped. You need to remove the fat strip, but it was cooked perfectly and tender to eat. Place is immaculate as far as cleanliness, and very modern. Been there twice, will definitely be back.If you go, you MUST try the chocolate covered grapes!!!”

Excellent value for money too, and lovely service.”

“I really enjoyed the Cuban sandwich made 'Mexican style' with Pork, ham, chorizo and egg. The ingredients came together very well. The Mexican Cuban was a hearty sandwich for the price. I'll try to take pictures next time..”
“Great space and courteous service. Food and drinks were delicious. We had 1 charcuterie (olives) and 4 tapas. (Artichokes, lamb chops, chorizo and squid ink paella) Plenty of food for just the two of us. My only advice would be to ask for plates to come one at a time. We felt a little rushed. Our son is there today ( just a day after we were there) ... we suggested he ask for more relaxed service. We shall see ...”
“Service was excellent! I had early and the restaurant was not busy. The food was seasoned well and tasted good. My only complaint is the lobster tail didn't have enough lobster in it, which was disappointing.”

“Ate here with a group of co-workers (total of 8 people) after work on a Tuesday evening. It had a casual atmosphere. The food was excellent starting from the appetizers all the way down to the dessert! The calamari and the shrimp during the appetizer was on point. The sauce on the shrimp was great dipping for the bread. For the Entree the seafood pasta was fresh and a generous serving portion for 5-6 people alone in 1 serving. We also had the picadinho, which was my favorite- excellent... not too greasy! And had a good portion of salad with steak. Then we each had a serving of different desserts that we shared- flan, chocolate mousse, tiramisu, cheesecake, and some pudding.”
“Freshest fish in the Ironbound. The fishmonger answered all of my questions about the fish (labeled in Portuguese, but I don't speak the language), then scaled and cleaned the ones we picked out.”

This store is amazing healing at our door steps.Valerie Dale”

“Delicious food! My partner enjoyed the sliders while I savored the chicken sandwich; both were bursting with fresh, flavorful ingredients. Mauricio, our waiter, was impressively knowledgeable about the wine selection, offering perfect recommendations and attentive service. A must-stop gem for travelers!”
“Cool spot. My family and I tried this place out last week. We loved the decor and the cleanliness of the place. I ordered the shrimp and garlic as a meal. They added a side of rice. It was very tasty. It wasn’t salty and super seasoned like most places. The portion was a nice size for 18$. My husband ordered picanha - the meat was fresh and cooked well. It was missing a little salt for our taste but that’s an easy fix. The deserts were amazing (variety) and the coffee was too. It’s family friendly. They have parking out front for a few cars. Street parking maybe a problem on weekends but it’s worth the try.”

“The food here is incredible. I had the Sonoma salad with tuna. Fresh, light and yummy. This place should be Michelin rated. It was so good. My wife had the chicken sandwich. She raved about her meal too. Our server Mauricio made the meal even better with his wine recommendations.”
“Hiba Hala was the only Hala place open on Thanksgiving, for the ones who didn't celebrate the holiday, they offer great food and service. I didn't get to take a picture, I had egg whites and turkey bacon cause they don't serve sausage for some reason, but ok and French toast. I ate it all before my flight to Jamaica. For a tea and breakfast ran me about $18 that blew my mind, but I did enjoy my food and was just happy they were open.”

“10 stars!10 days of coffee ☕ service, always with the freshest bagels, pastries and muffins and your delivery service were impeccable.Lisa who delivered the items was outstanding thanks so much Lisa for your gracious patience and wonderful deameanor you are a star amongst stars?!”
“Went early and sat at the bar. Had an AMAZING bartender, who had the best looking pretzel on her shirt and we got one. It was delicious! Good beer options but it's very expensive. I ordered an old fashioned and it was the smallest one I have ever received and the highest priced. At least NYC gives you an adult glass.I highly recommend but be ready for a big bill.”
“Wonderful little gem. Near my hotel (the Courtyard). Had the half chicken with collards and black beans to stick to my keto diet. The chicken was small, but the sides were enormous. Food was excellent. Even though the selections I ordered were simple, the preparation was evident. Easily the best bowl of beans I've ever had. The garlic and oil on the collards were perfect too. I was hungry and forgot to take a picture of the meal, but trust me: it was good. You won't be disappointed.”
“Excellent services, and delighted with the food. I tell him that on Fridays they have live music. A super family atmosphere. And the service from the super charming waitress Keiry. I recommend the entry Leche de tiguera. Great.”
“Update:We returned last week and we feel that now they served us less food than before,We have been back several times but now we notice that the portions are small, not like before it is more the flag (look at the photo) before they served us on oval plates that were a little bigger. And they no longer gave us avocado like before, now they gave us fried ripe ones.Excellent atention!Good tasting foodThe dry goat that we ordered had burnt meat (deep black) on one side, it seems that because it boiled so much, it stuck to the pot, or something like that.Let's hope this first experience in the place is only due to the fact that they did not move the ingredients in the pots from below, but those meats should not have gone like that.Otherwise, all good!Kid-friendliness: Children's menu, sausages, papipollo, and others,”

All were delicious but my favorite were the flan and chocolate mousse. As for the drinks, we had a 2 pitchers of the red sangria and my friends had their beer from tap from their little waterfall grotto... it was so cool! We were all seated in the patio at the back of the restaurant which had a great breeze from outside on a nice summer temperature... our day happened to be rainy which was relaxing to see and hear from where we were seated. All in all the service was prompt and excellent from our waitress Rose. The owner happen to be in there during our visit and was very friendly and accomodating. And if you're in doubt just for the parking alone, there's a private parking lot in the back of the restaurant. Would reccomend this place and would come back again with family and friends!”

“Came here for the pupusas….stayed for the tacos, the chicken salad, the jugo de maracuya, etc etc etc!!! Great food and great people running the place. Wish I lived closer to come more often!”
“Great experience from a local black owned restaurant. I dined here today with my family and this place was lively and energetic. The service was good and the food was even better. The waitress recommended the turkey wings and it did not disappoint. We also had the whiten fish and BB CUE burger. The value and quality was worth the short wait. Keep up the good work.”
“Family-friendly restaurant. Great food, friendly staff & amazing atmosphere. Empanadillas are on point! My husband enjoyed the Chuleta & I killed my order of Bistek Encebollado ?

“Awesome Italian food in Downtown New Jersey. They have a wide variety of vegetarian options. The portion was huge. I couldn't finish the food at the restaurant. I took the leftovers with me. Their sandwich was good even after 5-6hrs. The staff is friendly and checks on you regularly to ensure you are fine.”

“Delicious and fresh food...the attendants too professionals , friendly atmosphere, suggest visit this place to go with family or friends...Parking: at least 15 parking Spot available”
“I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 because the normal menu is very limited. They don't serve a full soul food menu every day. Only on Sundays and certain days when there's a special. Luckily the 2 times I went they were serving soul food. And it's amazing! Probably the best soul food I've had at a restaurant. If they made this their core business and served it every day they would get 5+ stars from me.”
“Well worth the time. Wish I'd taken pictures. Food was excellent. Service very attentive to customers. The server constantly checked with us several times, to make sure that everything was okay. You don't see that much in restaurants, anymore .Usually they bring you food and then next time you see them again is at the register.”
“There's a very good reason we have no Taco Bell in this neighborhood of Newark. We don't need one. This is the real deal and the evidence is in the dining room: everyday lunch and dinner, Mexicans eating Mexican food, prepared by Mexicans.”
“The pizza is absolutely phenomenal. I think I ordered 3 times after my first experience within a 2 week span.Just make sure that if you order online, call to confirm they received your order. I showed up to pick up my order and they hadn't checked the computer to see the incoming order.If you speak Portuguese, you're better off placing a phone order. As opposed to me, I don't speak it so I thought ordering online would be ideal but they hadn't even began making my order.”
“Great breakfast place for mornings,open around 530 in the morning, this place is always available for me in the early mornings because I work early mornings so great for me..Parking: Good luck finding parking most people double park anyway”
“The restaurant is under new management. I expected a change, yet customer service is great as always. The food tastes awesome. And the portions are big. If there is an ingredient in the menu that is not of your liking they are very accommodating. Eating at the bars is like being with family. Very good food, still Portuguese, but now a new addition is the Brazilian cuisine. They make us feel like home. The price is very accessible. My waiter was Jozimar and he was really very attentive.”
“I used to get ribs from a brothers from someone in that area . I wonder if it’s the same place. If it is their ribs are the best ! They used to come in like a waxy bag . Small or large. Does this sound familiar? Thank you”
“I met Chef Mo in Restaurant Depot. She told me about her restaurant in Newark. I told her I would visit the following week. The food at The Weekend Spot was excellent.... I am a New Yorker and we love food. I had the Mac and cheese, Collard greens, Jasmine rice, black beans, potatoe salad, fried chicken and Oxtail stew.....

The workers are Friendly, helpful and professional......Please visit The Weekend Spot you will not be disappointed....I am recommending this spot to all my family, friends and co workers.”

“Went here for a quick bite to satisfy the inner-carnivore with family. Table carved meats were all really good. The salad bar was mostly good as well. The meal price was also very friendly, given the prices of nearby competition. The only knock is the suffocating traffic of the neighborhood, and non-existent parking. Fortunately, they have a valet service for $5., worth it, and worth the trip?”

“I ordered Dominican food on Uber eats and it's always mediocre. I called this place when I search for Dominican restaurant and they said they didn't deliver so I showed up. Totally worth it! Plenty of parking. The rice was soft. It wasn't grainy and unflavored. It was cooked through and the grains opened up. it was flavorful. You can tell it was from today. The chicken was a little too sweet and oily for me. You can tell they burned it in sugar for too long, but it was still much better than the competitors. It was soft and cooked through as well. The beans were good. I know that people talk about the pork a lot, so I'll go back and have that an update this review. this restaurant definitely feels authentic and homie.I normally order Dominican food on Uber Eats and it's always more or less. I called this place when looking for a Dominican restaurant and they said they don't deliver so I introduced myself. It's worth it! Plenty of parking. The rice was soft. It was not grainy and tasteless. It was cooked and the kernels split open. it was tasty. The chicken was a bit too sweet for me by far.. You can tell they burned it in sugar for too long, but it was still so much better than the competitors. The string beans were good.

“Looks like there are tons of negative reviews and rightfully so, but I had a good experience. Ordered, got a fresh chicken sandwich and fries and got them quickly. Both were hot and frisk crispy. Tomato and lettuce on the sandwich tasted fresh enough too. Yeah it's expensive but it's the airport. Which isn't a pass it's just that everything is here which sucks. But mine was good.”

“First time trying this place. I ordered the spicy tofu bowl with noodles, yaki style. I love spicy food so much, but this bowl had me breathing fire. I had to drink so much water because the spice level was unreal. I started getting dizzy from it that I just didn't finish my food even though I was still hungry. The food was good but I couldn't be sure because of how spicy it was. Next time I will have to ask for light spice.”
“An awesome oasis from the buzz of Terminal C, it's seriously crazy you basically forget you're at an airport. And the service is impeccable, toyed always looked after by the staff, checking up on everything. Our server (Biata, I believe) was phenomenal!As for the food, there are some exclusives only available at Classified. But I found a lot of the menu is just the Saison menu since it's a shared kitchen and you order just the same (scan the QR). The food was pretty good either way, but definitely recommend the French Dip. It's fantastic for airport food.It's totally worth the the experience if you have the time!Vegetarian options: Deviled Eggs (minus prosciutto) and the salads or sides. Not much in the way of EntréesDietary restrictions: The reservation manager will ask to list any dietary restrictions, but since all ordering is through the QR, you still need to enter special instructions at the time of ordering.”

“I love this place!! I give it a five star for both good quality food, and good customer service very professional and friendly and the guy up front is definitely a cool dude, I love this place way better than the other local Chinese restaurants. A bit pricey but it’s well worth it, definitely good quality amount of food. I love getting the bigger plate (3 entrees and 1 side) keeps me satisfied and full. I give this place five stars but also five thumbs up too ??????????”
