I got it delivered while working long hours over the weekend and hadn't heard of it before - to my detriment, because WOW. My order: Biscuits with duckfat gravy and an overhard egg Extra biscuit with their house jam Seasonal lemon berry griddle cake Jalapeño rosemary fries I'll start with the last thing. I LOVE rosemary, and like the taste of jalapeño but jalapeños themselves don't agree with me. So they arrived without jalapeños as requested, and were very good. There wasn't much rosemary flavor, which was kind of a bummer, but I would get these again in a heartbeat. Well-cooked, not too soft but not too crispy, nice and fluffy inside. I love a good spiral-cut potato and these didn't disappoint in that regard. The lemon berry griddle cake was phenomenal. They're pretty big, so a single will do most people (I had quite a bit left over). The whipped lemon curd was AMAZING, and the berry compote drizzle was probably the best I've ever had from anywhere - which is saying something. I didn't get the berries themselves as berries don't tend to hold up well during deliveries, but I got some of the blackberries I grow in my own garden and slapped them on there. GOODNESS gracious. 1000/10. Now for the highlight, in my opinion - the biscuits and gravy. I have long thought that one can tell the skill of a chef and the quality of a restaurant by its most "basic" items, and if you were judging solely by the biscuits and gravy, you'd be doing the same thing I am and telling EVERYONE about it. The biscuits were dense and flavorful, not in any way dried out, very filling, and the light toasting done to the inside of each half was such a quality touch. The gravy is TO DIE FOR. Just the right amount of kick, and a little went a long way. I had more than enough with my order to save some for another day! MAN it's gonna be difficult not to order from here every day... This type of restaurant is exactly the kind of thing Belleville needs to hold onto. It's high quality food, with a high quality staff and a commitment to community and sustainability our town desperately needs more of. Not only that, but it's reasonably priced; normally you'd see places like this charging 60% more minimum for the food and it's almost never as good as this. I am SO intensely impressed. Very, very well done, Clara B's crew!

I really enjoy the food at Clara B's! I found it first when I used Door Dash once and I loved the…read morebrisket breakfast burrito that I ordered. A mix of chunks of lean and marbled brisket. The order was packaged with care and I decided I'd have to eat in person if it was so good via delivery. Clara B's is housed inside of LongStory coffee just outside downtown Belleville. I've been there for coffee a few times and like the atmosphere there. I've now been to have breakfast a few times. If you go there on a weekend, there is a line to order food by 9am and the tables fill up but food comes out in a reasonable timeframe and people clear out as more come in. You pick up a menu and wait in line and order at the register. Not much wait time. Employees are nice. The smaller menu is full of hearty comforts. I love that their choices for breakfast proteins include a fried chicken breast and brisket. Their bacon is thick and delicious, the kind that melts in your mouth. The biscuits are the southern homemade style that are thick and crumbly, not sweet. I've saved one once to make a perfect strawberry shortcake for two. The duck fat gravy is good, a little watery, but it absorbs well into the biscuits. The breakfast potato fries look amazing and one day I'll try the pancakes. I'm low carbing it right now and I like that I can go in and order eggs and a protein and grab an iced coffee and read. I highly recommend for anyone to stop in for a lovely breakfast/brunch and support this local gem.

Upon entry, I was greeted by a very friendly barista, and I believe her name was Leticia (sorry if…read moreI'm wrong). She introduced herself, asked me my name and welcomed me. That was very impressive! I ordered a peppermint bark & oat milk iced latte and she started that while I continued to look over the menu. Music was playing oldies -- The Temptations, The Dells, etc., which was a chill vibe. I then ordered a half order of biscuits and gravy as I am always on the search for the best b's & g's. Latte was handed to me quickly at the counter and my food was brought to me within 2 mins of sitting down. The latte was quite sweet, I didn't taste much of the espresso, which isn't my preference. I really am kind of biased though as a former barista myself, ;) However, I know next time to remember to ask for less syrup, if I order again. The b's & g's are very fresh -- the biscuits were warm and tender; the gravy is more of a brown gravy and not your classic white gravy. It was thick, with chunks of sausage, flavorful, with herbs on top. It was not that salty which I noticed right away as I am very particular about that. I appreciated that a lot! I don't think I would order these again, solely based on liking white country gravy better. But very flavorful and for someone else, worth a try! And they were served in a Togo container which is cool, in case I wanted to take it with me. The cafe itself is immaculately clean & that included the beautifully wallpapered bathroom. The tables are all clean and they all have pretty little real mums in cups, I love that simple touch - so cozy. One walls is covered with photography pieces for sale and as I photographer, I love to see the support for us and our work! Definitely super cool. As a NYC native, this cafe felt more urban-esque, while sitting in downtown small town Belleville and really such an, "at home" type vibe -- really though, shout out to the barista who really stands out in treating you like family. They live up to their sign, inside, "Welcome to the family." That's valuable! Overall, I'm super impressed with the service and I'll definitely come back to try another drink and more food. Definitely worth it! I recommend, Justitia's! Thanks for having me. :)

The bourbon drinks rising star- 4 stars. Rustic charming restaurant. Reservations required because this is not a big place. I made reservation and have been wanting to come here. The aroma wanting on our server was fish. Fresh fish should not have a smell. Drinks: ordered the rising sun bourbon drink. It was unique and delicious and highly recommend. I like it was served with no ice. My co-workers drinks were served with ice and they were removing the ice. Appetizer: crab stuffed mushrooms. The texture was good but you can smell the crab. The smell put me off but it was temperature hot and it tasted good with lots of crunchy texture. Service: a bit slow but we were deep in conversation. My co-worker order wine with his meal it arrived half way during the meal. Bread: free bread was provided but it was so dry even with it being drown in butter it was inedible. It did have a nice hint of garlic but it was as so dry, I took one bite and left the rest of the bread. Main: ordered the double pork chop with Brussel sprouts. Wow a ton of brussel sprouts! I love Brussels sprouts so I was cool with that. They had great texture. My pork chop was fantastic and cooked perfectly to well. I like that nothing was too salty. My co-workers ordered wagyu ribeye and filet. Both of my co-workers were meh. The filet was ordered medium rare and it came medium well. My co-worker that ordered the wagyu ribeye ate 1/4 of their steak. They love carrots and only ate 1 piece. I looked over and was shocked their place was almost not touched, I asked what is wrong. They provided me a piece of their wagyu ribeye and it was not Wagyu. It was tough like choice and it had a weird texture and taste. It tasted like it was going bad. The carrots were cold and the polenta was inedible. I gave my co-workers a taste of my pork chop and they said I made the better choice. The plating needs work. The Wagyu ribeye beef was thrown on the side of the plate when it should have been the star on the plate. The filet was served with mushy something. I gave them some brussel sprouts because their dish looked sad. Sadly I was disappointed that my co-worker had meh to bad dinners. I will only come Back for their pork chop or find another steakhouse.

The staff checked on us periodically, and everyone was pleasant and welcoming. I ordered the seared scallops appetizer, and they were amazing. The flavors came together beautifully, and I genuinely enjoyed them. The cocktails were also refreshing and delicious. Now, the cons: For the amount of money you spend on the steak, I expected much better quality. My medium-rare ribeye was tough to cut, lacked flavor, and even with the mushroom sauce, it was underwhelming and nothing memorable. We also ordered several sides, and unfortunately, the flavor was a miss across the board. The garlic mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables with portobello mushrooms and risotto, mac and cheese, and creamy spinach all lacked flavor and were disappointing. I was really hoping, based on the reviews, that I had finally found a steakhouse worth returning to, but unfortunately, the search continues.
