Cornbread Newark

delicious food and friendly service! the portions are huge and the prices are reasonable especially for the quality of what you get. i'll dream of the collared greens, and the chicken was falling off the bone and seasoned to perfection. i like a baked mac and cheese and this one is delicious, but if you prefer a saucier one i'd pick a different side. they were able to confirm the entire meu was nut free for me, and a second drink/refill came out with my order (i don'r know if this was a mistake or on purpose, but delicious tea either way!) get the gravy!

I was looking for a place to grab dinner and found this restaurant on Google Maps with great photos and reviews. People mentioned tasty food, large portions, and good prices, but that wasn’t my experience at all. The portions were small, the chicken wasn’t very good, and the black-eyed peas and yellow rice were bland. Definitely not worth paying over $20 for such a disappointing meal.

The hotel shuttle driver recommended that we try The Cornbread Soul Food restaurant. He was absolutely correct in his suggestion. Dropped in about 7p on Friday night, the place was fairly busy. The staff was amazing, willing to walk 1st timers through their menu choices. You better bring your best appetite cause you can't eat it all, especially if you select the large meals. The collards are perfect and you'll drink the "pot liquor " (juice), the cabbage was slightly crunchy exactly as I like them and the juice was consumed as well. The yams were sweeten just enough to make your mouth water as they enter your mouth. Of course the Cornbread was the perfect compliment to the meal. The turkey leg meal was overwhelming, much more than I could eat without taking a nap in the restaurant after e

Stopped by on a whim and ended up having such a satisfying meal. The catfish was cooked perfectly, the yams were full of flavor, and the mac and cheese was rich and comforting. Even dessert did not disappoint, the apple cobbler was warm and delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. The dining space felt welcoming, clean, and comfortable. This place is absolutely worth another visit.

When Cornbread first opened, I really liked the food. Over time, though, the quality has fallen off badly. Every time I go, I end up saying, I’m not going back.The prices have increased, but the food and service have gone way down. Something is always missing from my order, and I have to go back and deal with the ill mannered staff. This was my first time returning in about six months, and I honestly don’t know why I gave it another chance. The cabbage had decent flavor, but it was so mushy like it had been cooking way too long. And the fish?? Oh my goodness. 🤦🏿‍♀️ I ordered the two-piece whiting and ended up eating unseasoned fish jerky. Dry, tough, and completely flavorless. Not even salt. Don't believe me? See photos attached. I am beyond disappointed. This was the last time for me. I
