I’d give this establishment a negative 100 if I could. Owner is rude and unprofessional. The food is mediocre at best. They would never get my money again. I hope this place closes down. Looking for good soul food? Try Just Fish in Newark!!!

Solid place to eat some delicious Soulfood… my favorite is the oxtail over rice with macaroni and cheese and potato salad. Second favorite would be the grilled salmon(comes with a sauce on top) with yellow rice and macaroni and cheese. My third favorite are the chicken wings(6 pieces of whole wings) perfectly fried with macaroni and cheese and cabbage. Not many businesses like this around. They do not serve pork. I’ve tried the catfish, whiting, and beef short ribs. All delicious.

I'm totally done with this place. We spent $93 for an 2 oxtail and a turkey wing dinner. Food was not good at all! Very disappointed. Oxtails extremely undercooked! Tough and completely flavorless. Collard greens extremely bitter and needed to cook longer. No seasoning at all! I wish I would have saved my money and my gas. Never Again. Too many times, I come lately and the food is trash. Not good anymore! TOTAL WASTE!

The first time I ordered food it's was the amount was well. I ordered turkey wings one time oh my God . They were horrible dry old an taste like somebody put some wax in it. I was really surprise. And they are not . giving you the same amount now.the plates are lighter definitely. Before it's would take me two days to eat the food.not now. An for some reason they aren't on Uber eats. Or the other apps any more

Omg such a small spot and no indoor seating but the food was BOMB! absolutely loved it. I paid $13 for a lunch of oxtail with Mac and cheese, yellow rice and cabbage and let's say that plate was nice and full i can't imagine what dinner size is like! Only complaints were the juice koolaid in the back that was available didn't look to clean, and the time it took to receive the food.

Ok so this hole in the wall of a place has some of the BEST SOUL FOOD I've had in a good while. Now don't get me wrong I have other favs, lol. Anyway the greens where not Spicy at ALL and I love that! The dang Turkey fell OFF THE BONE ( no name dropping intended) the sweet potatoes are perfect!! Not to sweet. The Mac and cheese was also just the right amount of cheese.. ok cheap o's it is expensive but it's still worth it's price for the large amount of great food.. I willing to pay good $ for good

Food is good but advertising is completely off, I went there explaining to the gentleman that I wanted the $10 quick bite meal and was charged $55 for three orders when I called back I was told that the quick bites are $17 but you get less food not really understanding personally think this is false advertisement as I stress the food is good but the lack of honoring a price that’s advertised from Google is a little upsetting, and the owner says he has no control of what’s on Google ?
This is it!!! Today was my first time buying from them and I’m saying officially it is my new favorite place to eat anytime I’m in Newark and want some REAL soul food! Plus customer service was very great also.

I went to get a haircut up the street and stopped to get a 4 piece wing dinner with mac and greens to bring home.... It brought me back in time to when I used to go down south for family reunions... I have no complaints. I thought it was great tbh. I'm a chef by trade so I'm not afraid to critique food at all. Loved it. Found a new barbershop and a new place to get food in the same day. That's a win. Peace y'all

The location is on a busy street (broad) with no parking but there is a lot on the corner that you can park in. The space is small and you order at the door and they kindly give you recommendations and are very polite. I do recommend ordering the food in advance then picking it up.The quality is amazing. One of the best Mac and cheese dish in the Newark area. The oxtails are clean and flavorful. The chicken wings are juicy in the inside and crispy in the outside. The portions are huge where 2 maybe 3 people can eat. The price is $4-$6 dollars higher than the competition but the quality and serving is worth it.We ordered when we got there and then waited 20 minutes in our car for fresh delicious well presented food. I highly recommend.

Delicious food with unique flavors. Tried the lamb & veggies burgers, liked the lamb better. Fries & sauces were amazing.
