This is my first time actually ordering from the eatery. The Baklava is quite a dessert. After eating one Baklava, I have no craving to eat another sweet for the rest of the evening. As a matter of fact, I feel no inclination to eat a sweet anytime soon, after eating one Baklava. After eating the delicacy, I drink a cup of hot tea before a savory meal of home cooking. I don't know if this will always be the case though I have a visceral response to the Baklava. The dessert is quite fulfilling as a dessert. The establishment contains seating for about 20 people and offers a variety of drink and food options. The establishment accepts different forms of payment.

I ordered the sweet chili salmon meal with white rice, cabbage, and sweet plantains, along with a small oxtail meal with rice & peas, sweet plantains, and steamed cabbage. Top tier! The food is an absolute must-try. The portions are generous, especially considering the price of the meals--you definitely won't leave disappointed! The service was also excellent. Everyone was straight to the point, patient, and polite. We were able to watch the amazing staff prepare and serve our food, and they were happy to accommodate us if we wanted to add extra gravy or any additional items. The beef patty was delicious and fresh as well. Huge thank you to the amazing, hardworking staff! The restaurant is spacious with a few indoor seating options, making it a comfortable spot to enjoy your meal. Authentic flavors, generous portions, fresh food, and great service. Definitely worth trying! But be prepared to spend money

A 24-hour Jamaican spot? Yes, please! After an exhausting…read moreday of adulting, we ended up here around 2:38 a.m. and I'm so glad we did. This place was exactly what you hope for when you're looking for amazing food at an unexpected hour. The food was absolutely delicious: fresh, flavorful, and cooked with so much love. We had the oxtail, jerk chicken, peas and rice, and cabbage. Unfortunately, they were out of macaroni and cheese, but everything else was so good that it didn't even matter. The prices are fair for the portions and the convenience of having a 24-hour Jamaican spot available when you need it. That alone is a huge plus. The staff were friendly and welcoming and took our order with a smile!! The area is a little rough around the edges, but we felt fine grabbing our food and heading out. They offer takeout, which makes it even more convenient. I'll definitely be returning again and again. Great food, great flavors, and a true gem when you need a delicious meal at any hour.

Their hand-cut fries are always on point too. But what makes The Yard really special is the people. Kai has created a space that feels rooted in Black joy, community, and genuine hospitality. He and Niy are always so kind, and every time I leave, I feel seen and appreciated. There are plenty of places to get a burger, but very few places that make you feel connected to a city. I'm newer to Newark and already feel that way about The Yard. I hope they're here forever.

We came for the Oxtail burger but on this day they were only making beef burgers, lamb burgers, and catfish sandwiches. The bonus, however, was the BBQ offerings in the backyard -- Mac n cheese, corn on the cob, fries, and plantains! Between the awesome cheeseburger and lamb burger, I was in seventh heaven. We had a great time sitting on the lawn and celebrating this glorious day with our brothers and sisters.

Run don't walk to this delicious Jamaican spot!!…read more I'm rarely in North Jersey nowadays after moving to Somerset County about 5 years ago. Jamaican food just doesn't hit the same in Central Jersey, so I had to try this spot. I asked for recommendations at the counter and she said the oxtail cheesesteak, oxtail patty sandwich, and the empanadas are really popular. I ordered the oxtail cheesesteak and 2 empanadas (jerk chicken and oxtail). OOOOOHHHHHH THEY WERE ALL DELICIOUS!!! Such juicy, tender, and flavorful meat in the empanadas and cheese steak accompanied by their "grove sauce". It was so good that I had to buy a bottle of the sauce to take home! Everything was served piping hot and fresh. The staff was also super nice and the dining space was really clean. Highly recommend!!

The Grove Grill Part II 143 Grove Street…read more Bloomfield, NJ 07003 Sorrel Smoothie Oxtail Cheesesteak Jerk Chicken Loaded Fries I previously posted about this locally owned Jamaican spot located near the intersection of Grove Street and Bloomfield Avenue only footsteps away from the Bloomfield Plaza strip mall. My last visit was "Jamaican" me so happy that I returned to explore some more menu items, especially a beverage from the new juice bar Owner Susan recently introduced. Sorrel Smoothie: This chilled, refreshing smoothie is blended with banana, coconut, ginger and sorrel, which contributes to its reddish appearance. The ginger added a mild kick. If you wish to add a nutritional supplement, feel free to add 1 or 2 tablespoons of Sea Moss Gel into the beverage. This healthy algae is not included with the drink, but it can be purchased separately. Oxtail Cheesesteak: This Grove original is topped with sautéed onions, blended american cheese, with mounds of deboned oxtail on a soft, doughy 8 inch sub roll. It doesn't have the most cinematic appearance, but the taste is out of this world. There is no question that I cleared this down to the last bite. Jerk Chicken Loaded Fries: This side was so fully "loaded" with toppings that it practically eats like a meal. It included hearty chunks of jerk chicken, blended American cheese with a stack of fries hidden beneath. These fries are "loaded" with ultimate flavor and comfort. Anything and everything can be supplemented with Susan's sweet, spicy, and savory secret Grove Sauce. If you enjoyed it as much as I did, full size bottles are available for purchase. The sauce is perishable and must be stored in the fridge. In addition to Susan making her original homemade sauce, she also published her first book. Built Under Pressure is a business guidebook containing informative tips and advice for anyone starting their own business. Copies are available for sale in the restaurant or on Amazon. Indoor seating is limited to four chairs, but there are a few outdoor picnic tables. Show your appreciation by posting a review on Google Review, Yelp, or both; the choice is yours. Overall, I had another priceless experience. Thank you Owner Susan and staff for making me feel right at home. #TheGroveGrill #BuiltUnderPressure #grovesauce #oxtailcheesesteak #JerkChickenLoadedFries #sorrelsmoothie

Met up with some friends on a Friday night for Happy Hour. We got there at 5pm, knowing we only…read morehad to 6 pm to enjoy happy hour. We were seated in the back area as there was about 8 to 10 of us. The well drinks (tito, margarita, etc) were priced at $10 and appetizers priced at the same. I ordered a lemon drop martini to drink, grilled oysters and steak crostini to eat. My grilled oysters were okay, except for one that has some "crunch"...lol to it. My steak was medium and cooked as ordered. But the show stopper was definitely the lemon drop martini, it was a good strong. So I ordered a second. The other girls really enjoyed their Caesar salad and mango margaritas. Our service was a bit slow, but good overall. Good happy hour spot, with a parking lot.

The resturant was smaller than I thought but very cozy with a room with a bar and a dining area…read more There is an upstairs area where the only bathrooms are also located but it was empty when we were there. Also there is a parking lot, and they were offering valet when we went. I enjoyed the food I had as an entree (steak frites). What I didn't like was our waiter was constantly trying to up charge us. He kept asking if we wanted to add specific things to all our orders and even if we said no, he still insisted on it. This even occurred with shots of alcohol. I explicitly said I was driving and didn't want it and still shots were brought out with out us even asking. We thought maybe he was being very nice. Or maybe something was included we didn't know about ( what was added were things like a Caesar salad, Brussel sprouts, and sweet potato fries so it easy to see how we didn't see it was things out of the ordinary included as sides for meals) or we were for some reason getting something comped, but that was not the case. Our bill was ASTRONOMICAL. If we didn't have these items we didn't want added on, it would have been fine but this type of way of doing business makes me never want to go back. We considered fighting the bill, but we did eat the food because at the time we thought it was either included or comped. Please be aware of this if you visit this restaurant, and if you are insisted upon adding things to your order learn from our mistake and ask more questions if it's included or make sure you explicitly say NO.

Outstanding!!! I've seen this place of my Facebook feed…read more. Several Videos of the food. So on this day I told my wife Let's try it out First No Reservations Second CASH ONLY... The place was packed for 7pm on a Saturday We had to wait for a lil while which was fine After we were seated our server Lauren with a great attitude We got Bread & Escarole salad to start Then ordered Shrimp Beeps Fried Shrimp in a mild spicy sauce which I cleaned up with the bread Chicken Murphy One of the crispiest & seasoned fowls we ever had in our lives!!! Spaghetti Giuliano With Shrimp Scungilli Clams in a red sauce Cavatelli with Pot Cheese Delicious flavor in a lil Marinara sauce Chicken Savoy Chicken in a vinegar sauce which I needed more bread to soak it up There are no Desserts You can bring your own & they have Big Espresso Pot for $25 Or lil one for $20 5/5 Fuhgeddabouits!! Thus is a must try The owner & all staff very friendly As I was leaving the owner was seated to eat I went over to tell how much we enjoyed the food They were eating the clams oreganato They asked if I ordered it I said no They made me eat one Which was delish!!! So I suggest to make the trek to Bloomfield NJ like I did from Staten Island

Food. Never heard of a place without meatballs when ordering spaghetti. New one on me…read more So went with shrimp...but mistake. Obviously frozen as it had various flavors mixed into it...dry and stringy Service was poor. Sat at the bar for around q0 mins until the bartender was done talking with friends only to be told no food at the bar. Service slow..for me. Fast if you are a regular. Their mistake. No music. One lone TV. I'm sure there are better dishes but the service put me off. Not coming back. Life is too short and too many other places to try. Try to get the thin blonde as she hustles If you're a regular..good for you. If you're not..try the places. It's ok

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.
