This food spot is definitely one of the best places my man and I have been to in Newark. From the hospitality, to the vibe, to the food, it was overall a phenomenal experience! Kawana was especially helpful and so sweet! She took the time to really cater to us and made sure we enjoyed our time there. Will definitely be back and we’ll be recommending this spot to our friends and family.
First time at Cornbread and had a great experience ! Kawana assisted us with recommendations and her patience and outstanding service made the experience THAT much better. Food was great, music was good and the aroma walking in, confirmed our choice for dinner tonight was on point! Definitely would recommend if you are in the area!
First off, this was an impromptu stop that turned into my newest fixation. The food was absolutely delicious and the customer service was hands down amazing. Try the catfish, greens and mac & cheese. The cornbread is on point too. It was moist not too sweet. Ask for Kawana!!! She was the bomb.
Food was great but service was even better. The fried whiting was cooked to perfection and the mac and cheese was real mac and cheese. The cornbread was delicious as well as the yams!
Visiting from Atlanta Ga., I was searching for a great soul food restaurant. Being in NJ for over 6 months, and trying different spots, I thought my search was futile. A friend suggested Cornbread in Newark...I was hesitant. I'm so glad I did. My catfish dinner was soooooo good! It was seasoned and came out nice and hot!! I will definitely be back!! The staff was so sweet!! I just want to thank Keba, Denzel and Christelle for making my dining experience truly amazing!!
This Brooklyn foodie is now in love with Newark because of Cornbread Farm to Soul Restaurant. Let’s start with the mac and cheese. It was cooked to perfection. That cheese blend was so gooey and had a nice crust on top. Now on to the meats. The chicken and turkey wings were tender inside but had that nice crisp on the outside. The cornbread was buttery and sweet all at the same time. The sides were also seasoned well. My favorite out of the collard greens and cabbage was the cabbage.I’ll be going through the tunnel again soon.The staff was so personable and attentive. Love me some Kawana. Thank you Kawana for the great service.
Trudy is so sweet. She brought the food to the table and plated it so well. The restaurant is very clean. Covid protocols are heavily enforced which is a great thing. First time here but I will definitely be back!
I was looking for a place to eat while my daughter was at the concert on 1/24/22. I ordered this delicious work of art. It came out piping hot, fresh and DELICIOUS. Portion sizes are more than adequate. I couldn’t eat it all. The place is decorated with tasteful, culturally appropriate decor and it is clean. Kawana was the most beautiful, helpful server. Trudy gave us portions that had me asking for a to go container. I have lunch for work tomorrow. I will be back when I’m in this neighborhood and I’ll tell everyone to go to NEWARK CORNBREAD. YASSSSSS!!!!
This place has excellent service and even better food! If you’re looking for comfort food this is the place to go. Trudy gave us a very warm welcome and made sure we got everything we needed.
Unfortunately my first visit at Cornbread- Newark was not a good one. The staff was fine, process of ordering was fine. The downside was the food. The chicken was not cooked. It was pink in the inside, as you can see from the photos uploaded. The Mac and cheese wasn’t that great, didn’t have much seasoning or flavor at all. The potato salad was the worst of all. The cornbread and collard greens were tasty though. I wish I could’ve gotten a refund at least for the uncooked chicken but I don’t live in Newark and I ordered in the store.
