Adding BBQ sauce definitely…read morehelps, but if you're not a barbecue-sauce type of person, you'll notice the seasoning is pretty mild. The chicken, on the other hand, was good and tender. I did try the garlic sauce, but that was a miss for me -- it was extremely heavy on vinegar and overpowered the dish. Overall, this place is decent if you're craving barbecue. The rice was flavorful and moist, and the fries were actually great. Not mind-blowing, but solid for a casual BBQ stop.

I've been eating lunch here for about 15 years and I keep coming back for a few reasons:…read moreThe food is exceptional; the chicken and ribs are the best in Newark by far, probably the best in the state. The yellow rice is a personal favorite of mine and the portions are always generous. The staff are all very friendly, even when it's busy. I'm always greeted with a smile and taken care of promptly. Cleanliness! I've been to plenty of places in the area and not all of them are concerned about cleanliness and hygiene. Pulaski is always sparkling clean and the staff is constantly cleaning every inch of the place. Prices are very fair and well worth it. I always get more food than I can eat in one sitting for between 10-15 dollars. They recently completed a total renovation of the restaurant and it's beautiful! They've really stepped up their game! Check this place out you won't regret it.

Food is great. Went to a party and the room is small but inviting. I'll always will go there.read more

Upon addressing various issues like double orders , old looking meat , doubled charged and sassy men messing up the orders and arguing with the customers when there wrong. However the 3 meat combo came out dry and old they wouldn't replaced ,the beef rib was order that was old and dry and hard for 59$ but ok not worth it , my steak tacos was fatty ,garnish was old and soggy. The turkey was over cooked & dry. Side orders are nasty and over priced. Been trying to contact the Owner since Last Sunday no one has called back or responded the same sassy men answering I guess I will stop in there.

Did try the brisket and greens from another coworker. Delicious!! That brisket!! Tendernism!!! You can order delivery I believe through Uber Eats, Doordash or Grubhub but those prices definitely do change and go up so we ordered over the phone and picked up for best value. The service was very nice, it's a family run business and they got out entire order correct which included several platters and the three of their delicious homemade lemonade, strawberry limeade and the blue raspberry lemonade. The establishment is very cute and cozy on the inside, very clean as well. Sorry was in a rush on lunch break to get food and eat I forgot to get any pics b4 devouring my meal but we will be ordering again soon and definitely will next time.

Although it was a bit crowded at the bar, service wasn't too bad. However, one of the book club members specifically asked for a drink without alcohol and ended up receiving a frozen lemonade with alcohol. So she left upset. As far as food: super mid. I was actually surprised when I cut into my fried chicken sandwich and it was a bit pink. The chef himself assured me the food was cooked but it just had that color because of the brine. Idk sounds like they should change the brine then. Loaded waffle fries were also kind of gross because there was so much oil. Seems like it's a place locals enjoy, I'm glad I'm not a local.

Loved this place!…read more Located in what used to be an old train station, this spot is as cool on the outside as it is on the inside. The vibe is fun and family-friendly, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. Inside, there are games for kids, making it a great hangout for all ages. I ordered the Pineapple Express cocktail, super tasty and strong! For food, I went with the half order of beef brisket, fried chicken, mac and cheese, and cornbread. The fried chicken was stellar, juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Everything was solid, but that chicken really stood out. It's located in Lackawanna Plaza, which has a trendy, up-and-coming feel with several other eateries to explore. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu and maybe check out the rest of the plaza while I'm at it!

It literally was the little things that made this such a great experience. He held the door open for a customer carrying a lot of bags and who was struggling to open the door, handed us a paper towel after we each used the restroom (also it's a basic bathroom but clean!!), and this was THE icing on top: moved us to the other side of the small room because he said the wind draft would hit us when the door opens. He came over to talk to us because he said it can only be a good or bad thing if customers were quiet when eating the food. Well food was great and he was so friendly and shared a bit of his family's experience and history with food. Food wise we ordered the soup of the day (chicken), garlic shrimp, salmon, and beef rib. Also had some local Portuguese sodas. The salmon truly surprised me because it was crispy and tasty!! He also mentioned it's a BYOB and liquor wine store was across the street. Love this place.

Ordered the lamb burger and it was cooked perfectly, medium, juicy with a great fresh flavor. Side salad portion was generous with fresh greens and grape tomatoes. Got off to a bumpy start waiting for them to take my order, but after that the staff was very friendly and checked in frequently. Fairly small space and could use some sprucing up, but nothing to complain about. Will be coming back.

Chef Kai was super welcoming and engaged in convo with us, including with our 8yo daughter - he set the tone for a cozy dining experience that felt like we had entered his home. Everything was fresh, quality, and obviously made with TLC. The dipping sauces were each characteristically delish and I loved that they gave all of them at once so we could try them all. Best ground chicken burger I've had - juicy and worked well with the brioche bun. The oxtail burger was super flavorful and tender. Next time I need to try the shrimp burger. I went with the side of sweet potato tots and oxtail gravy, and it was the best tots I've had especially in the gravy - again, quality and fresh. The pink lemonade was perfection - fresh lemons, real sugar, and not overly sweet at all and check out the container it comes in! Plus lollipops with the check - such a cute added touch. The location is in a park, walking distance from the NJ Pac and train stop. If we had more time (and could take a to go bag with us) we would've absolutely ordered wings and tried another burger - so that'll be for next time! Love having this kind of dining experience in NJ and supporting a community gem like Chef Kai!
