“We didn’t get a chance to take any photos of our food… but let me just say the food was absolutely amazing!! Jariah, Kim, and Jasmine were amazing host! The atmosphere was lovely. Andre the chef definitely knows his way around a kitchen! If you’re indecisive about where to grab a bite from, please. Don’t hesitate to stop in to cornbread! You will not be disappointed! Kim let us know how those lamb chops come out (insider)“
“My visit to Madre & Son Soulfood Cafe was a great experience. The waitress was pleasant and the food was very delicious! I had the oxtail, potato salad, yams, and fried chicken, which was well seasoned. Definitely coming back and do recommend their food and catering services.“
“Some of the best if not the best food I've had in jersey, outside of other cuisines I regularly eat. Great place to treat yourself or someone after a hard time.Food portions were heavy, 3 people split 2 entrees and 2 starters and had food to take home. Definitely going back for more of that cornbread dressing stuffing & cheesy grits“
“Great fried chicken. Not greasy, with a nice crunchy batter that was not too thick. Oil used was fresh and chicken seemed also fresh and was good quality. I didn’t give 5 stars only because I would have liked more seasonings but this restaurant will still be my go to when I’m looking for fried chicken. Service was also fast.“
“I absolutely love Lite & Soul. Great quality!Their food is delicious and fresh, and the portions are generous, in my opinion. I've tried a few different entrées. You really can't go wrong with whatever you decide. My husband loves it too! This allows me a night off in my kitchen. lol“
“Had the catfish poboy at uptown night Market! They told me 15 minutes was done in 15 minutes. It was a large fried catfish filet and it was perfectly crispy. I think the tartar sauce may have needed a little more salt but overall great experience. Reminded me of Louisiana“
“The experience was outstanding! The waiter Ramell was amazing! He was super attentive and polite, also recommended things to our tasting. Truly a great experience! We also got to talk to the manager, Aisha, who welcomed us at our table to make sure everything was well. Overall this place is a 100000000/10. Definitely come-you won’t be disappointed from the ambience, music, staff, and the FOOD IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!We ordered the veggie plate with (rice and peas, yams, and cabbage, along with jerk lamb chops, jerk chicken Rasta pasta, oxtails, collard greens(with turkey), jerk chicken egg rolls, buffalo chicken egg rolls, jerk chicken quesadilla, and honey butter cornbread skillet! All of it was 10/10!! Insane to say I know but it’s the truth!Come here! It’s amazing! You won’t be dissatisfied.“
“The after church crowd was here on Sunday and I completely understand why. The food was every thing it needed to be & then some. I ordered the shrimp & grits with a side of eggs. They serve breakfast all day and have a vegan menu. The restaurant is connected to an apartment building so be careful not to pass when looking for it. It has a black & white striped triangular umbrella hovering over it. The staff were kind and the atmosphere was extremely down to earth, but not ghetto. This is a great mom & pop shop that you should fed check out. Be sure to try a flavored lemonade or iced tea. They are tall and one was more than enough. I didn't notice any ASL speaking staff, it wasn't needed, but there is space for wheelchairs. There is also street parking so be mindful. Only downside, our table wasn't exactly clean when sat down, but it was obvious they were busy. Overall, this is a great place for brunch or Sunday takeout dinner.“
“My girlfriends invited me to join them here after church. I ordered the whiting meal with mac & cheese and yams. Drink- uptown and peach cobbler. Love the atmosphere. Food came out hot, not warmed in microwave like some others. The meal was tasty, favorable and good. Especially love that the yams were not 'doctored up canned" but real. Whenever I come north from Trenton, this will definitely, be a stop for good food. Also reasonably priced. 4 good size pieces of whiting.“
