“I’ve eaten inside and ordered delivery. The quality of soulll food at Bradford’s Barr is top notch. The stuffed shrimp, salmon, wings, waffles, tootsie bread, broccoli, mac n cheese, drink and everything is BUSSIN (that’s Ebonics for delicious/ out of this world). The food is great and I honestly can’t wait to invite more people. Also the owner is amazing too! Such a sweetheart. Best American south soul food in New Jersey!Kid-friendliness: The owner was so sweet with my children!“

“Ordered here for a company luncheon and everyone absolutely loved everything we ate. We ordered a number of different items for our team and everything was fresh, hot and tasty. The wings, oxtails and shrimp were a real treat. I will definitely be ordering from here again.“

“Love the food but the carry out system needs serious work. It takes too long to get your food when you ordered it for pickup and paid for it already. It was about 25 minutes. It was one person to take orders, answer phones and get the pickup order. This is not the first time that this has happened to me. You shouldn’t advertise if you don’t have the help to execute the orders. Please do better. I see a lot of people complaining that they won’t come back.“

“Kawana and Natorie provided outstanding service and was very welcoming when entering the restaurant. Kawana made sure that my food was fresh. I would come here again.“

“Really good food!! Enjoyed coming here for the first time and will be back. Got the BBQ ribs and was scared they were gonna be dry. I was VERY wrong. SO delicious and with the uptown and mac and cheese it was wonderful. Excited to come back.“

“My first time trying A Mother's Touch. Chef Mel has genuinely pleasant energy. She was patient as we made a decision. I wanted the Chicken & Sweet potato waffles which they don't make after a certain time. She made an exception and made my mine fresh. The chicken was well seasoned, crispy and juicy. I loved the texture of the waffle and it wasn't overly sweet. We also had the combo whiting/shrimp with greens and Mac and cheese. The fish and shrimp were well seasoned. The shrimp were a nice size. The mac and cheese was absolutetly cheesy and not dry. We also had a fish sandwich which was served with cajun fries. As a fry snob I had to steal one and I will be back for my own order. Honestly the best soul food experience I have had in Jersey in a while. The service and the food were both ?“
