“A hiding jewel. After the Missy Concert, we decided to check out some local black owed businesses while in NJ. We ordered the lamb burger and the oxtail burger. Boy oh boy, it hit the spot! The cake must have been popping cause people were picking up orders but by the time we ordered it was all gone. Waiter and chef was very friendly.
Location small, location not the best (in park alot of unwanted traffic).“
