Stay away. Spent $60 for two orders of whiting on Uber Eats and both were days old and broke apart as soon as I touched it. I don't even want to reorder because it cringed me out so much. These people do not care about quality. read more

This is the third time I received old fried chicken. I am so disappointed. I think it's because they dont face the Uber Eats patrons. Now here's the truth. I can fry my own chicken, but I wanted comfort food at work, and yall keep sticking me with old chicken. And that burns. Very disappointed Cornbread ppl. Very disappointed. I paid for yesterday's chicken. Yall got me 3xs thats a bust. Bye Ya'll read more

Me and my husband stopped in here for a bite tea before we went to Justin Timberlake concert. It is within walking distance of the venue. Very casual place ! Their menu is your typical soul food options which I love prices are reasonable and we didn't wait too long for our food. Staff was super friendly. We ordered the chicken and waffle and catfish platter with Mac n cheese and collard greens simply delicious and full of flavors . read more

Mixed review. The place is cute. Service was ok. Food was pretty mid and overhyped. This place was getting a lot of recognition but I have heard a lot of people say the food is generic. read more

The food was delicious, and the service was top tier. Jenell and Shakirah took great care of us and were very kind.

Parking: available on the street Cafeteria style dinning but they bring the food to your table Ambiance- intimate space and super busy Meal: 2pc Catfish with rice and Turkey gravy and Mac and cheese Catfish- was hot, flavorful and cooked perfectly 5/5 White rice w/ Turkey gravy- the rice was good but the gravely was delicious (I think it was homemade) very good 5/5 Max and cheese- it was cheesy but lacked seasoning. 4/5 Cornbread - bland and not sweet enough 2/5 Overall, the food was pretty good. The service was good. I would recommend a visit. read more

Amazing food and even better service !! I'd highly recommend. Great price, great food, amazing service!! read more

The food was AMAZING! Huge portions. I could not finish all three of those wings but they were sooo good. It is on a Main Street so of course there's only street partying. The area isn't the best but we're here for the food, not the extra stuff. Lol. The cashier was extremely nice. The rest of the service was okay. The restaurant is styled similar to a regular fast food place but there are mainly booths. Fairly clean kept. read more

The food is so good. It tastes like homemade. I've tried the fried chicken, ribs, baked chicken, corn bread, collard greens, black eyed peas - all so tasty. Also don't miss the mac & cheese, really good. This place is especially wonderful because of the women that work here. They are helpful and friendly and make you feel at home. Also a short walk from the Prudential Center. read more

I was visiting from Delaware for the Christmas holiday (I'm originally from NJ), I wantEd some good food. Cornbread-Newark came up on yelp. I ordered two catfish dinners. One with Mac & Cheese and another with potato salad. They both had collard greens. Also a side of cabbage. Well, if I would have known you need a gallon of water to drink while you were eating, I would have ordered a gallon water. The food was so salty I could not enjoy it!!! Why do restaurants choose to put seasoned salt on everything???? The whole meal was terrible. I wish I could get my $50 back!!! read more

Frequent customer of the Maplewood location this time tried the Newark location horrible experience....so bad never got my food....customer service was so bad but hey that's what I get for dealing with Newark. NO THIS PLACE IS A BRAND. I understand a bad day I have them everytime I gotta get out of my bed to go to work really could've been better but I'll follow up if my situation is rectified. read more

How do we start this one? @cornbreadsoul ! Wow! * Location - 915 Broast St, Newark NJ * The staff were so friendly, you walk in and are immediately greeted, doesn't matter how busy! * The drinks the food the everything amazing! * What we ate: Baked Chicken Catfish Whiting Mac and cheese Collard greens Yams Cabbage White rice with gravy Potato salad Cornbread (of course and yes it was delicious) * Everything was absolutely incredible, the chicken perfectly baked juicy tender and bursting with flavor. * We preferred the whiting because it was so fluffy and perfectly Krispy on the outside however the catfish was also full of flavor. Our favorite sides for sure were the potato salad and the cabbage! The cabbage was perfectly cooked and the flavor WOW! * To drink we had the uptown and the southern twang, let's just say we had to ask for seconds to take home because of how good they were! * We can not wait to return and see the amazing staff while we enjoy our food, we will be back soon read more

First off the wait was horrendous but we have been here before and the food was good so we figured it would be worth it. However seeing another customer before us becoming extremely irate and asking for his money back several times left us wondering if we should do the same and leave. We waited and we should have left. The woman expediting the food up front was extremely rude and nasty. If you have a poor experience with a previous customer you do not proceed to take it out on the next customers. He cursed you out -deal with it and clearly- based on the way you treated my husband and I -it was most likely warranted. Once we got our order the black eyed peas were cold so he took them up to get a hot order-she was upset because we didn't want cold food? She literally was barking at him. The fried fish was extremely hard and dry and when my husband mentioned it she said "well I'm not the cook". Then I had to ask for hot sauce for the fish (it didn't come with hot sauce or tarter sauce as in the past) and she didn't even respond or make eye contact - she just continued expediting an order while I stood there wondering if she heard me and then just handed me two packets of hot sauce. I said thank you and she said "um-hmm". Just rude. The food was over-salted and extremely sweet today. One piece cornbread we got was dry and hard and the piece my husband got with the fish was thicker and seemed fresher. Not at least being consistent for the same order is crazy. There needs to be better management clearly. Several people walked in and left while we were there. Icing on the cake- ordered an uptown and was given a lemonade. When my husband questioned it she told him "that is an uptown"" "there is iced tea in here " when he came to the table with the same cup I took it back and the girl was already making the correct drink for me and handed it to me and I left the cup of lemonade on the counter. Just bad all around. Time to find a new spot. They need to learn how to work under the pressure of a busy restaurant and not give paying customers- who are polite an attitude. They are not cheap and for my time and money when I go out to eat I don't need a nasty attitude on the side. We wanted a nice lunch before my husband went to work today and we are instead talking about how horrible it was. read more

We saw many recommendations for this bagel shop on social media, and after trying it, we found it truly lived up to its reputation. We tried the egg bagel and the cream cheese bagel. The bagels were piping hot and wonderfully crispy. The cream cheese was excellent, and even after eating the whole thing, it wasn't too heavy. We'll definitely come back to this shop next time we're in New York. read more

today was the first time eating at this establishment and I have to agree with the hype, CORNBREAD is definitely a hidden gem in Newark. I got the pleasure of meeting a Ms. Kewanna (Sorry if I misspelled your name) her service was top tier, a very polite and pleasant lady. The ambiance was very clean and peaceful not sure if it was due to the timing of day I entered the restaurant but definitely a 10/10 and i will be returning. PS that peach cobbler is bussinnnn' lol read more

The place is a hit or miss some days there good some days there not and the price for the food i have to say it should never not be good had ordered some chicken, yams and black eye peas absolutely tasteless today chicken was dry and hard, beans flavorless and the yams were so watery like what is going on I use to love coming here but the food lately haven't been hitting read more

Y'all better run, not walk over here. The food here is so darn good. That mac and cheese has the right ration of cheese and noodles and cooked to perfection. The turkey wings and chicken were succulent. The cornbread was hot, buttery and sweet. The side I liked the best was the cabbage. I found the collard green a bit sweet. Definitely will be back soon. read more

The food is not consistent, definitely not fresh. Skip the baked chicken. And definitely skipped the Newark location.

So I gave this place a 5 star because they basically asked me to do review before I even left the register. Me being nice did complete with 5 star review......However‼ After eating the food I wanted to smack myself for that. So let me be real. My turkey wing were humongous like extraterrestrial size type. Now if you going to have Dino turkey wings at least let them be flavorful and tender. Negative on Both‼‼Very disappointing. And the Mac and Cheese epic FailSorry guys. Stop making people give reviews before they eat. Cause If they honest like me they coming back WITH THE TRUTH read more

When I tell you they don't owe me anything. Everything I order was so good like a Sunday dinner at your great granny house. The fried chicken was so tender and well season Black Eyed Peas I'll put you to sleep collard greens. Oh Lord, let's not talk about them heaven the Bake mac & cheese, nice cheese pull well seasoned delicious cornbread phenomenal and then I had their special drink Southern Twang read more

What a gem! I have to admit, I enjoyed everything though I ordered. I got turkey wings, cabbage, Mac and cheese and potatoe salad. This is the FIRST time I have ordered turkey wings somewhere that weren't overly fatty or overly dried. Perfectly seasoned and moist. All the sides were amazing and the portions were plentiful. Also got the peach cobbler for dessert and it was divine. The only turn off (but not enough to deduct stars for), was that they were out of water. It was pretty early in the day (before 12), so I felt that this was a bit odd. Either way, enjoyed my food and hope to be back! read more

Really good soul food spot in the heart of Newark with a warm and friendly staff. We ordered the catfish with collard greens and Mac and cheese, and the chicken and waffles with a side of black eyed peas. The catfish, Mac and cheese, and the chicken and waffles were our favorite, but everything was tasty. read more

Once again I came to Corn Bread House & I walk out satisfied. Ms. Jenell & Ms. Shakirah's had the liberty of serving me & my family. They did a wonderful job with their customer service skills and their ability to make me feel comfortable. They made our experience a pleasant one. I recommend coming here as the food is amazing. read more

The service and food was great... the vibe was also great...I enjoyed the music... Jasmine was very pleasant... she made sure we had everything we needed...I came here with my 10 year old son... he's usually a picky eater but not today we'll be returning soon read more

Glad we decided to stop by here before attending a show at the Prudential Center. We were in a rush but the food did not take long. We had the turkey wings and the fried catfish. The turkey wings were huge and delicious. You don't find too many places serving turkey wings so please order it. The fried catfish was lightly battered and piping hot. The corn bread and sides were also great. read more

Food here NEVER disappoints. S/O to Kawana and Bernice who are so warm and friendly!!

Good food, poor management and customer service. I want to preface by saying I really like the food but they often struggle to fulfill orders. I order online because they almost never answer the phone so youre either stuck waiting 45 mins+ or risk of them running out of what you order. I usually order the Chicken and Waffles from this place and they almost never have waffles. Last time I went they didnt have any chicken or waffles left and tried to replace it with only sides cause they were out of ribs too. They don't do refunds or any adjustments so they force you to pick from the limited sides they have left. The staff can be rude as well. Again the food is good for the most part (sometimes hit or miss)but there are issues almost everywhere else read more

(Btw this is my first review) Koana, our server, was so incredibly sweet...so, that helped ease us into a great meal of cornbread, fried chicken, catfish, Mac & cheese, candied yams, and collard greens. And did I mention the cornbread! read more

Love love love this place! They have a variety of classic soul food dishes and they're all amazing. I got the chicken and waffles and tried a bunch of sides. My favorite was the mac and cheese, but the collard greens were really good. And I generally don't like vegetables, so this is high praise. Highly recommend if you want your soul food fix!

Super super disappointing. We had a large order and they totally messed up. The sides were old, the Mac and cheese which we all ordered tasted sour and they forgot one of our sides. The only side that was remotely edible was the yams. The chicken was definitely stale, I feel like because we were an online pick up they just gave us all the old stuff when more than half wasn't edible. We spent over $100 and the food wasn't worth it, they really missed the mark on this one. read more

Delicious Food and Great service. We ordered fried chicken with Mac and collard greens and fried whiting with potato salad and mac. The best way to describe it is: It tastes like the seasoning was around in my mouth with each bite of each item! So gooood! We are looking forward to returning! read more

It isn't named cornbread without a reason. One of the best cornbread I've had. The chicken was good and had a nice crunch to it. It's about an avenue and a block away from Prudential Center. Also, surprised by the lemonade! It was good! Fast food for the soul. It won't disappoint! read more

Now, when we first entered, the cashier was not very warm, but I'm also from the south, where we naturally greet everyone. After we started asking questions about the menu, he stated to open up a bit more. My friend ordered chicken and I ordered fish. We both ordered the same sides, which were sweet potatoes and greens with cornbread, of course. We also ordered the tea and lemonade lunch, but we can't think of the name but excellent punch and a must order. A young lady came out and advised that our orders would take a little longer because they were changing out the grease for my fish. She brought us out some cornbread while we waited and refilled our drinks since the wait was about 15 minutes or so. She was very nice and continued checking on us while we waited. The fish and chicken were so worth the wait! It came out piping hot and fresh and seasoned to perfection. Now the sides we were not impressed with at all. Definitely tasted like they came out of a can. The cornbread was so good, hence the name of the restaurant. I definitely would go back for the fish and cornbread again. read more

Delicious soul food!! I have gotten delivery from cornbread before but went to their restaurant in Newark for the first time last night, which was spacious and had a lot of tables. We stopped by before a game at the Prudential Center which is about a block away. We were in a time crunch so we ordered ahead for pickup and the food was ready when we arrived. The fried chicken is flavorful but my favorite are the sweet yams! I could eat a whole bowl of those. I usually don't like collard greens but theirs was delicious and I would order it again. Their cornbread is also tasty, not dry like it often can be and slightly sweet. I think their prices are great for the size and offer a hearty meal for $10-15. Definitely check it out! read more

The ambiance is pleasant and the staff is attentive/hospitable! The food selection covers all key soul food items to choose from. Since it was lunch, I went light and opted for catfish and black eyed peas.....which was well seasoned and delicious. Overall, great experience and highly recommend. read more
