    If you are looking for an authentic soul food restaurant, check out Mamma's Place in Linden, NJ. The owner and cook is a 75 year young woman from Alabama. Food is delicious, and she has great stories.

    Turkey Wings Dinner
    Michelle H.

    I've had the smothered chicken in the past and liked that a little more than the Turkey wings. Though both were good and the Turkey wings are one of their popular items on grubhub. Collard greens were good both times and so was the meat but feel like the Mac both times (which I forgot this go round unfortunately) gave stove top. Just seemed underbaked. I know the new way with Mac n cheese, people often do a cheese sauce but still have had Mac made that way that's been more well baked/ still tasted like baked Mac n cheese. When stirring it, it stirs and mashed like stove top, versus it being a bit more stiff when trying to manipulate it. I'd order again but with the yams instead (they were good last time), didn't get them this time. Makes me want to give 3/3.5 stars because baked Mac is essential to a soul spot so sucks having to order rice or another starch from a soul food place.

    Huge Wing Leg Part.

    So the lady tells me I'll be back!! I receive my order of Turkey Wings, Mac n Cheese, Collard Cabbage mix, and Rice and gravy. I open my plate and false advertisement smacks me in the face. The photo shows 2 Wings, but when I look there is this huge Leg part of the Wing and one Wing! I'm like WTF!!! This is the first place I've ever seen this. The Greens were awful. They were sweet and i've never had sweet Greens. The Mac N Cheese need major help. I'm guessing all of the good reviews came from family members. The Fish my wife enjoyed, but the sides and that big ass Whole Turkey wing was awful and dry even though it had gravy. I won't be back!! Trust me!!!!

    First we were craving some soul food; second we want to support african-american establishments. we drove 1/2hr to get here but it's well worth it. Curbside pickup. Owner (Momma) was so kind; asking us to call when we're about 1/2 way there so we pick up freshly cooked food. Came out to let my hubby know she was still cooking :-), awesome! whiting fish delish & fresh! chicken wings SO good! mac & cheese, cheesy but not creamy (i don't like creamy do i'm very happy); the candied yams are so good very flavorful but not overly sweet; a good sweet that offset all the fried. such a good combo. hubby ordered fried pork chops but hasn't tried it yet but they are fried, like fried chicken. this is our new go-to in Linden! ooooops i forgot ordered a slice of caramel vanilla cake that smells heavenly, but will eat later. Also, each dinner serving I think is enough for two servings. YUM!

    Great Food, Moderate Price, Great Customer Service!

    So I've been wanting to visit this place for years and today I felt for some bbq. The restaurant is…read moreconveniently found near vermella in Union across from Kean. There is a huge parking lot so there is ample parking even since the area is busy. The restaurant when I arrived was very clean. There was only one person in front of me ordering with a young man. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and patient and helpful to pick out the best of the menu. I ordered the 3 meat sampler with ribs, pulled pork and brisket. None of the sides looked too appealing so I left them out and didn't get the combo meal. To my surprise it was a whopping $30 for the 3 meats. Granted it is certainly enough to feed two people, I was expecting a side of some sort to come with it, a roll, something. Last minute I was given a cold slaw. Taste wise it isn't the best bbq I've had but if you're a carnivore like me...it will meet the need. The pulled pork had too many overcooked hard areas and the ribs were just okay. Will I be back? Maybe maybe not. I didn't eat anything that I would necessarily write home about but maybe.

    Got TGTG from in Nov2025. It was for $9 but the retail value said it was for $27. It's a scam…read more Similar to Target/Amazon black Friday sale, they put a very hight retail price to make it seem like there's value. For $9 it's okay for 1 meal. I probably wouldn't stop by after trying this TGTG. I'd probably have to spend at least $60 to get a BBQ from here and it doesn't seem worth it. I would hit up Red white and Que in green Brook for decent BBQ around the area.
