Food: chicken was very good and flavorful, grilled cheese was good and toasted golden brown. Waffles were bland thick and hard to swallow even with syrup still bland . The worst thing about my whole meal was my drink there was something floating in the bottom of my drink that no one could identify.

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.

The owner of the restaurant was not only friendly but very accommodating. In addition to our order, this restaurant was putting out catering orders and more walk ins like us. I highly recommend anyone looking for something both Latin and Soul food - home cooking at its best...made and served with lots of love! Notable were the greens, cornbread, Pollo Guisado, potato salad and the Arroz con Gandules. Take out only.

I do appreciate it being plainly shown on the receipt so it's up to the customer to decide next time opposed to just blindly up-charging the customer, like other places. Parking is hit or miss in the area, so I intentionally went not long after opening hours. The restaurant was completely empty when I arrived. I thought that would mean no long waits for food. I was wrong. Also, the service wasn't the most pleasant for placing a takeout order. The gentleman behind the counter seemed frustrated and hesitant to offer a menu, as if I was supposed to know everything they offer despite being a first time customer. I had the grilled chicken rasta pasta. Almost an hour wait! It was a decent portion, but overly salted. I probably would not get that again. Perhaps I'll try something else on the menu another time, but I am not in a hurry.

I always get them with the spicy vodka sauce, fresh ricotta and shaved pecorino, but they're just as good with the traditional sauce if that's more your style. Two generous portions. Don't leave without trying the banana dulce de leche milkshake. It's hands down one of the best I've had. Honestly, I've never had a bad meal here. Whether it's a burger, salad or one of their fish dishes, everything is consistently fresh, flavorful and cooked perfectly. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of seating, including a nice outdoor area and the service is always quick and friendly. It's one of those places I keep coming back to because I know I'll leave happy.

It was made to order so it was nice receiving a nice, hot sandwich. It wasn't a WOW sandwich; maybe something I can get at other places. I think I should have for sure gotten one of their staples. Maybe they play it safe with breakfast? Ample space inside and out. You can pay cash, or card (+fee). Their desserts looked yummy: maybe for next time. I suggest this place in the event you need a quick bite

Late night staple for Rutgers students. The owner is very friendly…read more The fat sandwiches are all generally good. Some better than others but that can be qualified as personal preferences. Absolutely comfort food, and great if you have the munchies. However, I do think sometimes the sandwiches are dry, but definitely depends on the content of the sandwich. Overall, a nostalgic place to visit and perfect if you're out late and you are ravenous enough to eat a horse. If it's mid day and you're looking for lunch, only eat half. You will get the itis if you eat the whole thing. There is a decent amount of seating, even during the day. You can sit at a table and do your homework here if you would like. Their cheesecake slices are amazing. I don't know what bakery they source them from but I'd like to buy a whole cake!

The reason I give it 3 stars is because I don't think they've ever gotten my food order 100% right. They make a tasty burger, but they always forget at least one requested topping on the burger. The menu says "lettuce, tomato, and onion on request" and even though I always request all three, I never get all three. If I ask for a different kind of cheese, I get American anyway. A lot of the time my receipt will have all of my requests on it, but the burger doesn't match. Also, they seem to have downgraded their onion rings. The old ones were awesome and were a major selling point for me as an onion ring enjoyer. The new onion rings remind me of Burger King. Overall solid spot with a nice Irish pub vibe. Waitresses are mostly cool and friendly.
