    Hillside - which is their version of an Uptown, named after the town that the restaurant is in.
    Will B.

    One of the hidden gems in Hillside Township. Grilled Chicken Palace offers some of the best comfort & soul food. They put their own spin on a number of standard dishes, such as fried chicken, or shrimp w/pasta, but there's way more to their menu. Their cakes are AMAZING! Their cornbread....AMAZING-ER! A small spot very easy to overlook, but this small location packs a big punch. If you like Soul Food, &/or Comfort Food, add this place to your list. FYI- They do NOT accept credit/debit. They accept cash & have an ATM on site, CashApp, or Zelle, & their menu items can be a bit pricey depending on what you get.

    Grilled Chicken Paradise always hit the spot! I have tried everything over the years. The Sexy 1 (substitute Tilapia with Salmon) and Sexy 2 dishes are my favorite. The Jerk Chicken and Apples over rice is also very delicious.

    First time coming here. I'll definitely be back!!!! Delicious!!! Cajun Shrimp and Crab Alfredo.

    The place looks a bit worn down but the service was nice. They don't accept cards but they do have a cash app option. Cool. The lady offered me free samples but seemed to be rushing me since it was close to closing time. I ordered the salmon and noodles, it was good, just needed some Old Bay. They also have really good potatoes stuffed with meat or seafood.

    Sexy I - $13.95 + taxes

    Been meaning to check out the place for the longest and finally found the opportunity today before I start eating clean again. This was definitely the perfect cheat meal. FYI, the restaurant is best suited for takeout. I would like to begin my review my saying the service here was great! Upon entering the first thing they asked was if it was my first time there and then proceeded to give me multiple samples that got my taste buds jumping. Based on the samples alone the potato salad, pineapple jerk and pink lemonade are not to slept on. I was more so looking to try their seafood dishes and the server recommended pretty much all the ones they had but at end said the Sexy I & II were the way to go on the first round. I went with the Sexy I which was a tilapia, shrimp and scallop white sauce pasta dish and cornbread. The pasta was very tasteful.. a little disappointed the linguine was broken up so much. Overall, my experience here was great and will be back.

    Awesome little takeout joint in the heart of hillside ! I traveled 20 mins to try their chicken and it was so worth it . The staff was very nice and let me sample some of their signature items . I ordered the teriyaki chicken wrap and the sweet / spicy salmon pasta . The wrap was super flavorful and the chicken had an authentic teriyaki sauce . A little messy to eat in the car, but I managed lol. The salmon pasta mini meal was delicious as well . The salmon was cooked perfectly and the sauce was true to its description ., kind of like a sweet and sour style . I will definitely be back !

    I'm the type of person who doesn't mind traveling far to eat good food, whether it's at a full service restaurant, a grease truck, or a small neighborhood eatery like the Grilled Chicken Palace. Little traveling is needed as this little gem is not that far from me. Palace Chicken Combo (Mango Chicken + Palace Chop Chicken w/ White Sauce + Salad All Over Rice) ($18....) (A-): I never order "sweet entrees," but the mango chicken (with real slices of mango) was one of my favorite items today. It goes well with the yellow rice and isn't too sweet. The grilled chicken with white sauce was a must have for me; the white sauce is light and herby, while the chicken itself was well seasoned. The slaw consisting of squash, cucumber, cabbage, broccoli, and carrots had a peppery kick to it. More importantly, the vegetables were crispy and fresh. We also ordered the special (Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Stirred w/ Vegetables ($8.95)), which was similar but with teriyaki instead. Corn Bread Muffin (A+) ($0.60): Let me say it now...this was--hands down--the best corn bread muffin I've ever had. It's perfectly moist, slightly sweet, and has real corn in each bite! The half that the owner let us try was all I needed to buy two for the road. Service (A+): No amount of stars or a letter grade can show how friendly everyone here is--from the owner to even other customers, this little eatery will make you feel welcomed. It isn't just the many free samples the owner gives out. She's friendly, inviting, and really wants you to try her cooking. The portions were great with the takeout aluminum pan and take out box being filled to the top. It's not fancy, but this places serves a variety of dishes that you would expect to order at a full service restaurant. There are a few stools and a corner bar table for you to eat in, but for the most part, it's a takeout type of place. Even though parking is a bit tough, I'm coming back for more, especially for the seafood dishes.

    DRINKS AND FOOD WERE they definitely didn't hold back on drinks and they had some decent music…read moredefinitely coming back

    I really wanted to love this place because my first experience was amazing. My first order was the…read morefried catfish dinner with mac and cheese and yams. 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

    Just Fish? Needs a name change. They do so much more than "just" fish. They should call it "Fish 'N…read moreE'ything". [insert "Black Pride fist Emoji" here] Just Fish is a really wonderful SOUL food spot. They are SOULED out, without having SOLD OUT. They really connect with the community of Newark, and neighboring inner-city communities. First off? EVERY SINGLE TIME I go in, the owner is in there and working. I've been visiting this joint since 2009, when I was a bartender at Mangos Lounge around the corner. I would always go in for a pre-work meal, but one that wouldn't make me feel entirely lethargic when serving drinks to people. Anywho... The owner is ALWAYS at the front greeting people, taking orders, preparing beverages, collecting monies, etc. Many restaurant owners posture as being customer-oriented by simply peeking their heads out to say "hi" to customers and be a mystical figure. This gentleman (forgive me for not remembering his name) is always there to ensure that every customer is properly taken care of! Now, on to the food.... This is as close as you'll come to Big Mama's food down home somewhere in North Carolina, Atlanta, Mississippi, etc... They make REAL DEAL soul food that is well-seasoned, well-cooked, & high quality! My goodness, the portions are huge also. Lawd, have mercy. I'm always a stickler for quantity-quality-pricing ratios. Just Fish Cafe gives great combination deals & bargains, where you get a GRIP of food, for a wonderful price. I always get the Big Mega Meal Classic. Dope selection of either fried fish or wings, with an assortment of sides. Great greens (I LOVE greens, and I'm very picky about them), awesome mac and cheese, MAGNIFICENT cornbread, and dope yams! I mean, there's so much more, but I haven't been on to the whole menu because the Big Mega is my go-to. So delish, bruh! You can get your food with some awesome lemonade, Southern sweet tea, or mix them up for a wonderful concoction called (BTW "suburban" folk, this has already existed for years so don't try to act like you discovered it like you do ALL of our creations and inventions) an "Uptown"... Just Fish Cafe gets my endorsement every time. I'm always PROUD to point to Black-owned businesses, and I will always point to Just Fish as a testament to what we can do when we provide quality, quantity, AND great pricing.
