“I stop by this beautiful coffee shop where I’m able to sit with my pet, and I ca tell… the food is elegant presented, the coffee amazing and I took the chance to try the matcha absolutely recommended! Adding that is difficult to find a place where I can share time with my pet sitting down!!!“

“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.“

“This place is excellent. I bought my friend from Japan with his family and was happy to take them to Cornbread for some authentic soul food. Needless to say my friend and his family loved the experience. They were finishing a road trip throughout the US and they thought the food at Cornbread was some of the best they had in their month long journery. The turkey wings were particularly good and I'm saying this as a person who is mostly vegetarian. Service was also excellent with attentive help and the servers were conversational and friendly with my friends and I. Bathrooms were also very clean. I wholeheartedly recommend Cornbread Montclair as a solid business and a great place for delicious Soul Food.“

“The food and service at Tasha’s is great! My husband loves her food he won’t even let me cook him oxtails. He has had us try so many dishes and we are delighted everytime. The portions are large enough to eat a 2nd 3rd time depending on your appetite. There’s always dessert selections fresh in the fridge. And Tasha along with the family friendly staff are pleasant and welcoming. Now she sells her Oxtail Rub so you can try your hand at it. Overall I give Tasha 5 plus stars. Go see for yourself you won’t be disappointed…“

“JS Soul Food (Orange, NJ) is a true gem! Our group of 10 visitors from Canada stopped by, and we were absolutely impressed.

The food was perfect — especially the fresh, made-to-order omelets and a unique millet porridge prepared with a special house recipe. Everything was delicious and beautifully done. The interior is welcoming, the place is spotless, and the service was outstanding — warm, attentive, and professional.

We will definitely be back and highly recommend this wonderful place to anyone visiting Orange, NJ!“

“The weekend spot is our go-to place for catering! If you’re planning a meeting or family get-together, you absolutely have to check out The weekend spot! Chef Mo is fantastic, and her team is always quick and precise with our setups.

We’ve had turkey wings, garlic string beans, chicken, sweetish meatballs, baked beans, salmon. The Chocolate crunch cake was so good. Ask about their vegan options. Thanks so much to the Weekend Staff!

“Listen!!!!!!! I’m one of the biggest critics when it comes to food, and I’m usually the first person to jump online and give a bad review when something isn’t right. HOWEVER… D&J Country Cooking is absolutely AMAZING. 💯 I was a little disappointed that they don’t offer dine-in, because I would’ve loved to enjoy my food hot at a table. Instead, I ended up eating it in my car. But let me tell you — it was still worth it. I ordered the fish, yams, and mac & cheese… and it was incredible. Everything was seasoned perfectly and tasted like real home cooking. When I walked in, I was welcomed by a very kind elderly woman who greeted me with eye contact, a warm attitude, and great recommendations. She was sweet, helpful, and really made me feel comfortable about trying the food. It was a true example of Southern hospitality. I’m giving this spot 9 stars. It would’ve been a full 10 if they had dine-in seating, because the food is so good it deserves to be enjoyed fresh at a table. Hopefully they consider adding a sit-down option in the future because it would really take the experience to another level. I’ll definitely be back. I’ve got to try the neckbones on Wednesday or Thursday next time. Great spot!!!!!“

“Hoy es nuestro aniversario and nothing better to indulge ourselves!!!-my wife and I had a great time at Rosa Mexico specially with Margaritas and Guacamole made by Kevin Quito at the River side Square Hackensack NJ“

“I had a great experience.. food was delicious. Anthony took my order and was so pleasant and patient. Anthony made sure I had everything I ordered he went over and beyond. Excellent service Five stars all day“

“They hooked me up! Delicious food; good portions. I usually get oxtail from Jamaican restaurants. I'd say it's one of the top of the restaurants I've eaten from.

That said, oxtail is generally an expensive meat to buy and can be hard to cook right. So, it can be difficult to find places like this that give you a decent amount. And I've orderd from them a few times, so I can say their potion size is generally consistent from what I've seen.“

“The food was great and I really enjoyed it...“

“Dishes are not consistent. My meatloaf was burned so badly they put a lot of BBQ sauce on it to cover it up. This was done despite the fact that I requested no sauce. Next time I requested one blackened whiting dish and was given fried whiting.“

“friendly Atmosphere good service nice perfectly cooked portion sizes and food makes you feel like Sunday dinner with family“

“I eat here and order regular since COVID. Fast service. Courteous staff. Very kind owners community oriented. Food is exceptional and portion sizes are great. 2 people can eat one dinner meal.“

“The best food and customer service“

“My order was quite enjoyable. I had some large fish that was topped with rice that had been seasoned and sauteed onions and peppers. Since I had never really had African food before, I ordered something that didn't really fit with my order, so I really appreciate that they phoned me. The ginger beverage was flavorful, zesty, and refreshing.“

“Live band better Ac and make sure the women’s bathroom more cleaner“

“i tried the spot in linden today everything was gd the fish could use a lil more seasoning but overall my meal was tasty“

“I celebrated my PhD last night in this great place. Well we had a brilliant evening and the place was absolutely one of the reasons for that happy evening. The crew cooperated in a sweet way, the cuisine was yummy and my buddies were very happy. We shall surely visit again for more joyful events. Thank you very much.“

“Good atmosphere… great service and prices are just where I need them..LOL“

“Tried this place for the 1st time. I had the Rasta pasta with shrimp and I ordered the honey jerked wings. The food was good but pricey for the portions. And the inside of the restaurant is something to be desired.“
