My 2 daughters and I walked in on Father's Day and were greated like family. The family working there are some amazing people. Instant great vibes !!!! They had free peach sweet tea for Father's Day. I knew the meal would be amazing from the vibes and the tea. But it was way better then I expected ! We got oxtail platter, the oxtail was perfect !!! The Mac and cheese was biblical !!!! The candied yams were also on point. I loved the fried chicken and the Rasta pasta with jerk chicken. The corn bread made me want to write a poem it was soo good. The banana pudding was also top notch. They put shortbread in there for some amazing texture ! Can't recommend enough !!! Oooh and the strawberry lemonade was very tasty and had the perfect amount of sugar.

The worst thing about my whole meal was my drink there was something floating in the bottom of my drink that no one could identify.

Let me start out by saying, we've been coming here for years and used to love their food. But after…read moreour last visit, we won't be back. As we entered the restaurant, the floors were "crunchy", sticky and tacky. I assume they mopped the dining room with the same mop they use to clean the greasy floors in the kitchen. They don't have high chairs, So we spent most of the time with our toddler in our lap. The sweet tea tasted off, sour almost. Had to give it back to the server because I couldn't stomach it. Had my husband taste it, and he immediately agreed that something was wrong with it. The plastic utensils were such a turn off. We're dining in, is it too much of a hassle to give your customers actual silverware?? Got fish and grits. Potatoes, toast and eggs. Honestly, the only flavorful item on my plate was the potatoes and eggs. Was upcharged to add cheese to my grits, but the cheese never melted. Pre shredded bagged cheese is what they have on hand it seems. My husband ordered shrimp and grits and asked for a side of eggs, but that arrived 15 minutes after we all received our food. Not sure why it took so long so cook up 2 eggs for him. He was also disappointed in his brunch. It was obvious they used frozen bagged shrimp. Probably the 26-30/lb because the shrimp were really small and had the nerve to be overcooked. Workers just seemed disheveled. Not sure what happened to Vondas but it fell off for sure. We're not from Newark and would travel here for years. Not anymore. This is the end of an era, definitely won't be back. Absolutely don't recommend.

The whiting was seasoned and delicate. The shrimp was tasty but tough, just a bit too overcooked. My friend has the oxtails, black eyed peas and cabbage. He couldn't stop raving about sides but took issue with the oxtails, like the shrimp they were tasty, BUT TOUGH. Not tender at all. He ended up taking them home to simmer for about two hours for a better result. We would likely come back only if in the area but not make a trip specifically.

Was craving fish today so I dec I decided to order from this establishment today to support a local…read morebusiness, but the experience was deeply disappointing. I ordered three fish dinners; not only were the portions incredibly small--one piece wasn't even half a fillet--but the fish was old and inedible. The texture was so hard it was clear the food had either been sitting out for a long time or was refried. Beyond the food, the service was unacceptable. My drink was missing, and when I called to resolve it, I was put on hold five separate times, waiting over 10 minutes each time. When I finally spoke to a host, she hung up on me mid-explanation. Subsequent calls went straight to an 'unavailable' recording. As a culinary student, I make it a point to support Black-owned businesses, but great food must be matched by great hospitality. There was zero customer service or problem-solving here. This experience has only motivated me more to ensure that when I open my own doors, my guests receive amazing food paired with the high level of service they deserve. I will be seeking a full refund for the money lost on this inedible meal.

Fried shrimp: The shrimp was tender and well seasoned throughout. The batter was light and…read moreflavorful yet still crunchy. Chicken Leg: The chicken leg was like 10x the size of kfc chicken. It's actually bigger than any of the fast food spot or local soul food spots that I can think of. "The soul food factory" used to have nice size and chicken and "The Weekend Spot" may still have some nice size kettle chicken. I had it delivered so I don't know what the set up is but this wasn't one of these spots with the chicken under the lamp because mines came fresh, crispy, and hot. It was tasty chicken. Mac and cheese: Their Mac has the creaminess of the stove top box versions but it's also infused with actual real cheese imbedded so you have a creamy texture along with the stringy cheddar cheese that gives baked Mac its authenticity. So it feels like a hybrid mac that may be more palatable to a general audience. Seafood Salad: It was good more on the acidic than I personally prefer but not extremely tart so it's not an issue. Plus that's something I can rectify at home with a drizzle of honey. Yellow Rice: Their yellow rice tasted more plain than the yellow rice I'm used to. Since I ate it in combination with the salmon that wasn't an issue. I just wouldn't eat it by itself as a side dish. Its more of complement side to a dish with a meat. Salmon: It was tasty, tender, and cooked well. Strawberry Cake: So good! Soft and moist. First issue is it's hard finding strawberry cake. Second issue is when I do find it in these soul food spots they be STALE, DRY, and CRUMBLY! I should've bought two cakes but I decided to be conservative this time because all the times I got played and it bites me in the butt.

Hash browns were good too especially with the sliced onion pieces in it. Service was good. At the end they gave us the wrong check so always be sure to review it. Overall good experience.

The catfish was fried to perfection, the mac and cheese was delicious, and the yams had just the right amount of sweetness. The second time, I ordered the same meal and added a side of fried shrimp. The shrimp was delicious, but it was obvious there was a different cook in the kitchen. The mac and cheese and yams were just mid, and the rice that came with the catfish had way to much garlic. Tonight (6/22), I decided to give them one more try. Unfortunately, it was my worst experience yet. I ordered the same meal, and the mac and cheese had chunks of chicken or some other meat mixed in it....totally unexpected YUCK. The yams were not good, the rice was mediocre, and the catfish was just okay. The biggest issue is consistency. The catfish seems to follow the same recipe every time, but the sides are all over the place from visit to visit. Management really needs standardized recipes so the food tastes the same no matter who's cooking. Consistency is what keeps customers coming back. Based on my last two experiences, I won't be eating here again. The first visit showed me how good the food can be, but unfortunately the quality hasn't been consistent enough to earn my business
