    Happy hour cocktail.
    Allegra H.

    I stopped in one day to see what was on their menu and to my surprise, it was "All day happy hour". I tried the salmon bites, okra, collard greens, macaroni and I had a cocktail. Everything was hot, crispy and tasty! I have been back weekly to try different menus item. Try it out.

    Our office had our holiday lunch at Sweet T's and it was phenomenal. I had the catfish entree with candied yams and potato wedges. Food was delicious and portion size was very generous. My colleagues also loved their mac and cheese, collard greens, chicken and waffles, and grits. Shoutout to Hazel(?) for being our bartender, waitress, and for the good vibes!

    Finally made it to Sweet T's for a date night with Hubby. We made a reservation on a Sunday evening. The area in Teaneck where the restaurant is located has a free shoppers parking lot nearby. One we entered we were hit with very loud music to the point where the host could not hear me and kept telling me he didnt see our reservation. Finally i spotted our name and off to our table we went. The restaurant is small and was very packed. The staff definitely works hard maneuvering around the restaurant and serving guest. We did realize that our reservation time was in the middle of their Sunday single and mingle event which was why the DJ was present and the music was louder than the normal. When the event wrapped and the DJ left i think it turned much more pleasant in the dining with overhead music playing and we were able to talk to one another. Our waitress Jade was so wonderful. She took our order and apologized for the wait time (we didnt mind) and treated us to complimentary shots which was nice of her. I love the tablet menus especially for those of us who can see the menu without glasses, the bright tablet with nice pics of the food and drinks is a nice touch. Now lets get to the food......OMG Amazing!!!!!!!!! Literally the best soulfood i have had at a restaurant in a very very long time. I had the catfish with Mac n cheese, Yams and Greens. Every bit of it was sooo flavorful. Perfectly seasoned!! I was in heaven! The portions are huge that we took food home. My husband had the fried chicken and i usually dont like the breast meat this chicken was not dry at all!!!!! They have a nice cocktail menu and they are perfectly crafted. A bit on the pricey side but i did enjoy it! I highly recommend this establishment!!!! I am still thinking about this meal 4 days later!! I need to come back soon maybe during the week when its a bit quieter.

    Excellent food! Mac was perfect veg collard green, the best I have had. My son said the wings were good. Catfish was good, but a little too salty for me.

    Such a nice spot with good ambience. Our waitress Alyssa was sweet and attentive. The peach cobbler drink complimented my southern meal. Corn bread, bbq chicken and mac and cheese were my favorite. They have happy hour specials and parking lot nearby

    This place is a vibe. It's great for dates, friends, family, etc. I love that they use ipads as menus. That made the experience so much easier. The food was delicious. We did not have time to try the entrees but everything we had had us talking about being excited to come back and bring other people. I also love that they had vegetarian/vegan options. Very excited to have this in Teaneck. Shout out to DJ our server.

    Stopped by for brunch while in town for Cowboy Carter. The shrimp & grits were GOOD- the grits were creamy & buttery goodness. They just got their liquor license so we enjoyed mimosas. The inside is pretty, and the server was nice. It had a lively and family atmosphere, it offers a little something for everyone.

    This job is located across the street from my job and I had been dying to try it once I saw the "Coming soon" signage. Southern comfort food is definitely not common in this area of Teaneck. I placed my order online and walked over to pick up my food. The hostess was kind and he asked me if I wanted a glass of water while I waited for my order to be brought out. I've never had that happen before and it was so kind. I waited less than 5 minutes. My friend and I tried their corn bread with strawberry butter, Mac and cheese and banana pudding. Everything was delicious! The corn bread was definitely the winner to me - buttery, not overly sweet! The Mac and cheese is give a 7/10 and the banana pudding 7/10 as well. I definitely want to try more of their menu but since I was at work I didn't want to get any fried or too large of an entree. I will be back soon to try more! The inside is also gorgeous and has a lavish feel. If you love southern food and are in the area, definitely check it out!

    I'm apparently late to the party when it's comes to this NJ favorite. Sweet T's became famous for their delicious soul food at their Montclair location. They recently opened this location in Teaneck on February 1st. I had the pleasure of meeting the owners, a husband and wife duo who were both so pleasant. They spoke to me for about five minutes and gave me their suggestions on what to order and the wife even came over during the meal a few times to check in. They have a VERY extensive food menu. A few things that surprised me was that they have some breakfast items on the dinner menu and they had a few vegan options. Their mocktails menu was also very impressive (I think they're still working out their liquor license?). I'm used to seeing only 1-2 mocktails when I go to a restaurant, but they had several, mostly sweet teas (get it, SWEET T) and lemonades. For my meal I ordered the fried catfish entree which came with two sides. I ordered the mac and cheese and collard greens. I really wish I could've ordered the corn bread as a side but unfortunately it only comes as an appetizer (I though that was a little silly since it's the same price as a side but it's okay). My friend who was with me ordered the beef short rib, mac n cheese and potato salad. Everything we had was incredible, but the catfish was rally the star of the show and the corn bread with strawberry butter really blew me away. This cornbread was just the right amount of sweet and that strawberry butter was *chefs kiss* . I liked that the cornbread wasn't overly buttered or greasy. The restaurant markets itself as "healthy soul food". While I wouldn't go that far to say it's "healthy soul food, I do think they have nice variety and healthful options (it helps that they don't cook their food in pork too). At the end of the dinner, they gave us to-go containers for our leftovers (plan in advance. You will probably be taking leftovers. They do NOT skimp on portions, unlike so many soul food places these days). Overall, my experience was a 5/5. The food is exceptional, the portions are generous and the service was very attentive and friendly as well. A few things to note: 1. This location is cashless so they only accept debit and credit card. 2. Gratuity is automatically included at 20%! They will highlight this on the bill but it'd probably be better if they let you know up front. 3. The menu is entirely pork free, so you don't have to worry about your collard greens being cooked in ham or lard if you don't eat pork. Vegan options are available upon request too.

    Strawberry flapjacks and maple syrup

    First the service was exceptional! Jayla was so friendly, knew the menu and recommended customer favorites, the best! The menu - well you don't eat southern food if you want "healthy" choices but certainly they offer salads and vegan choices. Sweet T's serves comfort food in large portions (definitely shareable) We started with Cornbread, fried okra and salmon bites. The okra and the cornbread were favorites. The flapjacks were as tasty as dessert. A variety of sweet Teas are available. The restaurant is small so make a reservation! GO TO SWEET T's for your comfort food!

    Catfish and grits
    Sandy K.

    Went here for lunch on a friend's recommendation and loved it! DJ the server is fantastic. I told him that I unfortunately have allergies to wheat and dairy and he went into the kitchen and came back with a full list of what I was able to eat. I ordered the Salmon cakes and collard greens with a baby Kale salad that had green apples, walnuts, cherry tomatoes and a lemon vinaigrette. The salmon cakes were delicious with a little fresh squeezed lemon and tartar sauce. Light and flaky, The collard greens were flavorful and not too salty which is so key. My friend enjoyed the Catfish and grits and it looked amazing. The vibe is great in there and I would definitely go back for the food, service and vibe. DJ told us they do karaoke, have live music and a Sunday brunch. It is cashless so keep that in mind. Parking was easy on the street. Highly recommend!

    This was my first time to this location and I was super excited to try it out. From reading other reviews I was aware there were no alcohol options, however, it was byob. Upon arrival we were informed that we would have to wait to be seated. After about five minutes we were informed that the manager would have to be called regarding seating as my table is not ready. This was mind boggling as there several tables available at the time and I had a party of 3 (see pic below). We were later informed, after a talk with the manager, that we would have to wait for the table with a party of 10 to finish, and then the table would be cleared right away so we can be seated. This was confusing as had a reservation for a party was for three including a child. I asked the hostess if we can take one of the four tables available and she reported I could there and then move when my table was ready. I was flabbergasted and asked why. I inquired if it had something to do with the high chair request and she stated no. She stated there is a party of three coming soon, though they are late for there reservation. I inquired why the party with a reservation after me would be seated before me when I was standing right infront of her. I proceeded to inquire on why I can't be seated now and give the next reservation the table that would be cleared soon. We sat there and starred at each other for about 30 seconds. I honestly was about to leave because the math was not adding up. She then allowed up to sit at one of the four opened table. The were several items in the menu not available. This sometimes happens when restaurant newly opened. I wanted to try the salmon cakes but will try them next time. The cat fish and grits were delicious. The cat fish was seasoned to perfections and fried perfectly. The French toast was sweet, however, the ice cream toned down the sweetness and was the perfect combination. It is recommended to make a reservation. I went for brunch and was informed I could order off the regular menu after 12pm. 20 percent tip is included in the check which were were informed of when we received the check. This is a cashless establishment. Im hoping things get better at this location. The establishment is clean with a cute vibe. Maybe individuals from the other locations can train the staff at this location because this was extremely disappointing customer service with delicious food.

    I am going to get FAT. I cannot believe Sweet T's opened so close to my BFF's house. We are in trouble. We visited the Montclair location about a month ago and we kept talking about how good the food was and how we would return soon. And then BOOM, they opened a location in Teaneck! Woohoo If you haven't tried this place, give them a chance. They just opened and their food seems very authentic, and it's delicious. The place has a great vibe for everyone. I highly recommend: -Cornbread & Strawberry Butter -Fried Okra -Salmon Cakes and Grits -Catfish and Grits -Sweet Potato Pie Honestly, everything on the menu looks so good. I will have to write multiple reviews once I have tried the rest of the menu.

Once you enter, you place your order and pay at the register. Someone will call your order when it is ready. I ended up getting chicken wing lunch special ($10) which comes with three wings and two sides. For my sides I got the collard greens and Mac & cheese. The portion for the sides is really big and for $10, it's a really good meal deal. The wings were solid, crispy and juicy. Overall, solid meal. I will be back to try the jerk chicken lunch special. I wouldn't say go out your way to get the wings but if you're around the area especially during lunch hours and want soul food, this is the place. * Free parking in back * Metered street parking * Good lunch special deal * a lot of dessert options

I ordered baked chicken, but there were still feathers on the wings. The potato salad tasted fishy because of cross-contamination--probably because they used the fish spoon to serve it. This could be a health hazard for guests with fish allergies. The greens were too salty, and I found a piece of foil in the coconut cake's frosting.

She did not apologize for the wait, she just stared at me and then asked if anyone is ordering anything fried as it will take 25 mins. Obviously we left. I haven't eaten at Maggies in over 5 years and was excited to order but now I will definitely not return. There are other soul food restaurants in the area who have better customer service and do not run out of food.

Staff is friendly and gave me free tap water. I ordered the bbq chicken platter with mashed potatoes and gravy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were good, but I wouldn't come here just for that. Garlic bread was hard and didn't taste like garlic. Chicken was cooked well, but the sauce was VERY sweet with zero hints of smokiness. What a disappointment. I tried my dining partner's pulled pork, and it was the same sickly sweet sauce. The Mac and cheese was 10000% Kraft Mac and cheese. Also the menu had no brisket, which you could find at even an average bbq place. Although it's difficult to find decent bbq in this area, I would not recommend Cubby's.

The brisket lunch special was only $16, was super juicy, cooked perfect! The chicken leg lunch special was only $14, was also great, the skin was crisp and meat just fell off the bones. Fries were very lightly coated and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. We also got a half pound order of pulled pork, very juicy and delicious, plus they serve the meals with 6 different kinds of sauces. Now... the various pickles! They all seemed homemade. Pink onions, cucumber pickles, peppers, and achyote (?), very crispy and refreshing to balance out the meats. Coleslaw was also very delicious. The cornbread. Very rustic. Initially I thought it was a bit dry but by second bite, you begin to appreciate the coarse cornmeal, the crunch, the balance of moisture and the crumble. I saved one to bring home so I can cut it and pan roast it in butter tomorrow morning. I have a feeling I will crave this cornbread in the coming weeks. The lunch also comes with a kielbasa, snappy skin, juicy and delicious. Such an unexpected find, glad we stopped in today. Very friendly service, they explained our questions well. Great ambiance and fast attentive service. We will definitely be back to try more items.
