But when I took my first bite, I immediately forgot about the wait because it was SO GOOD. They gave me so much food, it took me three days to get through the whole thing. I decided to visit them again today. I ordered their oxtails to go. I got home and bit into it and I immediately turned into a neanderthal as all of my table etiquettes completely left me. I'm pretty sure that at one point, I picked up the plate and started pouring the food directly into my mouth. Other than the wait time (probably should just call in advance and order) I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't come here. It literally tastes like my Grandma from the south cooked this food and sprinkled black magic on it. The best part (besides the taste)...they give you a TON of food for the money.

Let me start out by saying, we've been coming here for years and used to love their food. But after…read moreour last visit, we won't be back. As we entered the restaurant, the floors were "crunchy", sticky and tacky. I assume they mopped the dining room with the same mop they use to clean the greasy floors in the kitchen. They don't have high chairs, So we spent most of the time with our toddler in our lap. The sweet tea tasted off, sour almost. Had to give it back to the server because I couldn't stomach it. Had my husband taste it, and he immediately agreed that something was wrong with it. The plastic utensils were such a turn off. We're dining in, is it too much of a hassle to give your customers actual silverware?? Got fish and grits. Potatoes, toast and eggs. Honestly, the only flavorful item on my plate was the potatoes and eggs. Was upcharged to add cheese to my grits, but the cheese never melted. Pre shredded bagged cheese is what they have on hand it seems. My husband ordered shrimp and grits and asked for a side of eggs, but that arrived 15 minutes after we all received our food. Not sure why it took so long so cook up 2 eggs for him. He was also disappointed in his brunch. It was obvious they used frozen bagged shrimp. Probably the 26-30/lb because the shrimp were really small and had the nerve to be overcooked. Workers just seemed disheveled. Not sure what happened to Vondas but it fell off for sure. We're not from Newark and would travel here for years. Not anymore. This is the end of an era, definitely won't be back. Absolutely don't recommend.

Was craving fish today so I dec I decided to order from this establishment today to support a local…read morebusiness, but the experience was deeply disappointing. I ordered three fish dinners; not only were the portions incredibly small--one piece wasn't even half a fillet--but the fish was old and inedible. The texture was so hard it was clear the food had either been sitting out for a long time or was refried. Beyond the food, the service was unacceptable. My drink was missing, and when I called to resolve it, I was put on hold five separate times, waiting over 10 minutes each time. When I finally spoke to a host, she hung up on me mid-explanation. Subsequent calls went straight to an 'unavailable' recording. As a culinary student, I make it a point to support Black-owned businesses, but great food must be matched by great hospitality. There was zero customer service or problem-solving here. This experience has only motivated me more to ensure that when I open my own doors, my guests receive amazing food paired with the high level of service they deserve. I will be seeking a full refund for the money lost on this inedible meal.

We got some whiting, fries and yellow cake w/chocolate icing…read more The 3 pieces of whiting were small and just tasted ok. The fries were bland, pale and not worth the money. As I was eating it, I was wondering if the fries were just microwaved and not fried in grease. Or maybe they were baked? My biggest issue was the chocolate cake. It tasted like bad store bought cake mix and store bought icing that was thinned out. I've made many of a cake from box mix and container of icing so I'm not judging the fact it tastes like a box mix. It did not hit (taste good) like you'd think a yellow cake with chocolate icing should...even from the box. We won't be ordering from here again.

Candied yams had good flavor, Mac and cheese was okay, whiting was delicious. Customer service definitely needs to improve.

Ordered the fried whiting crispy with hash browns and toast. Hubby got the fried catfish with grits and toast. One of the kids got pancakes and we got two orders of pork sausage. My whiting was absolutely delicious. Very tasty. Hubby enjoyed his catfish. The pancakes were also good. Not too fluffy and not too stiff. Very well made. The kids loved the sausage. Hash browns were good too especially with the sliced onion pieces in it. Service was good. At the end they gave us the wrong check so always be sure to review it. Overall good experience.

I'm glad SIP (neighboring rest.) provided poor service because I would have not been able to indulge in these tasty oxtails, tender collard greens, right amount of cinnamon candied yams. Potato salad dang near better than mine. well upon entering the cornerstone restaurant, no one was up front, but a young lady quickly comes up and greets with a smile. chipper and pleasant. The inside is small, not really a sit down and eat type establishment. Two small tables are available. I wish I had asked the young lady her name. she was patient and laughed when I asked what's good and best selling item. She said "everything!" Leaned towards me ordering the oxtail. She helped me deciding on sides and even convinced me the potato salad was good. she was right! everything was yummy and worth my $32.87. Portions are in keeping with the cost. I definitely can get 2 meals off this plate. Couldn't wait on the potato salad--Mustard base and sweet pickles. I normally wont eat mustard potato salad. apologies on the pic. I have a spot when I come back.
