This was my first time visiting the establishment. It was five (5) of us visiting for the first time. Place was very clean and very inviting. I was quite impressed the owner came out and greeted us so politely. Today was the first time I ever tried Brussel sprouts (I’m addicted), Mac and cheese (I’m going to HELL eating all this deliciousness); Henny wings, candied yams (Fresh); dirty rice, etc. Nothing was bad. Food was freshly prepared with a dash of love, and seasoned to perfection. You will not be disappointed. I traveled from PA and will come again

This was our first but not the last visit! We started nibbling before we even put our seat belts on LOL. Absolutely delicious!!! We had the Henny wings, Poboy sandwich with Cajun fries, and Catfish and shrimp with rice n peas, corn muffins, and Mac n cheese. We had enough food for leftovers the next day. The young gentleman was absolutely wonderful with customer service. The restaurant was clean including behind the counter. Of course there's a wait when you're cooking fresh food (just like when we cook our own food🙄🤣), I don't understand why anyone would complain about that lol... take your time so it's right! Thank you for an amazing first time experience. Delicious!

This was my very first time visiting A Mother’s Touch Bistro in Livingston, NJ — and honestly, I’m mad at myself for putting it off for so long! I finally decided to stop by with some friends, and from the moment we walked in, I knew it was going to be a great experience. The staff was super friendly, and the cashier, Charlotte, was truly the cherry on top. She made our visit worthwhile with her warm personality and great conversation while our food was being prepared. It’s always nice meeting someone genuine, especially a fellow Jersey native! The restaurant itself was spotless, and you could tell everything was made fresh to order. The menu has so many great options, and for the quality and portion sizes, the prices are an absolute steal! I ordered the chicken wing dinner entrée with 7

★★★★★ 5.0 Andrea Jackson · Nov 2025

Decent food!!! I really enjoyed it. I only pass this place if I’m taking a detour from work and I finally hit the u turn and went. Parking SUCKS know that. I’m vegetarian so I got like 90% of all the sides. What I liked the most is they did not add sugar to savory dishes! This food was close to what I make at home. It’s plain and simple but very good! I ate everything. And my meat eater friend ate it all too! If I pass this way again, I will stop in. But I doubt I go out of my way to come again because it’s so close to what I already make at home. Maybe it’s more of a catering place for when you have multiple mouths to feed and don’t want to cook but you must have good food.

★★★★★ 5.0 Rob Little · Oct 2025

Food was great, its a bit pricey, but its worth it. I had the Hennessy wings meal, Jerk chicken meal, and i had to try the collard greens egg roll...i suggest order before you go. But its worth every penny, am going back, its so much more on the menu.
