Macaroni pie from Jamicon's on Elizabeth Ave in Newark NJ & conversation with a rep who saw FB review.
ImportantPerspective ..

Unfortunately instead of removing the item from my order after realizing they didn't have the ingredients, they decided to lose a customer with their decision to give me the most disappointing Mac pie. Was never reimbursed, but instead offered to shop with them again with a discount. Why would that be the only choice to give a customer instead of reimbursing for the price of the $3 Mac pie. Never again! Will try to post pic.

Curry Shrimp and Okra needs more Flavor and a Larger Portion for $15.00..

Pros 1. Curry Chicken is Cooked Well and Super Flavorful. So far Best in Newark. 2. Sweet Plantains was delicious. 3. Rice and Peas was Fluffy. 4. Delicious Jerk Chicken. Cons 1. Oxtails was Tender but needed more Flavor. 2. Mac and Cheese needed more flavor. Maybe more Scotch Bonnet Peppers. 3. Curry Shrimp and Okra needs more Flavor and a Larger Portion for the price of $15.00.

Dry noodles with hard cheese on top

I just received a delivery from Jamicons and I don't think I will be ordering from here again. First, they cancelled my veggie patty. I was disappointed but thought "no big deal". I ordered the stew chicken, rice n peas, and steam cabbage with a side of Mac n cheese for my husband, and Mac n cheese, plantains, and potato salad for myself. The delivery was fast, but I see why. The order was baaaaadddddddd! First my husbands stew chicken ended up being Jerk. It looks like they tried to play it off but it was definitely jerk. Second the Mac n cheese looked like cooked noodles with just hard cheese only on the top. It was so dry! No cheese in between the noodles. Wasn't good at all! Lastly, the potato salad, it looked like a milkshake with chunks in it! Didn't even waste my time trying that's. I'm very disappointed in the food.

This is suppose to be vegetable stew . There is nothing stew about this a complete disrespect to how stew is made never again!! N

I would never order from here again unprofessional and rude and when the chef is not there expect them to put some bs together just to get their money's worth.

I ordered through ubereats. With the rave reviews and the customer service over the phone, I was very excited for my curry goat. I asked for extra gravy, but only thing extra I received was disappointment. Hardly any goat meat on the bones they sent (check the pic, exactly how the food arrived). I also had a chicken patty which was literally all sauce, no chicken at all. I know patties are mostly filler but this patty was whack. Two stars because there was flavor in the food, And because someone reached out to me with options as the patties were not ready when my driver arrived, but still such a great let down compared to what I was expecting. $11 not well spent. Do not recommend, will not eat here again.

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

My cousin ordered a fried turkey for our family thanksgiving dinner. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!!! NEVER…read moreAGAIN!! The TURKEY was fried in OLD OIL and it was BURNED. She paid $75.00 for a badly burned turkey. WHAT A WASTED.... We will never give them anymore 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.
