Reviews for Cornbread Newark in Newark, NJ
Family of four, $70-$90 with food, drinks and dessert. This was an amazing dining experience. The food was so delicious and... savory! We got the staples which are collard greens, macaroni, and cheese and fried chicken with peach pie. The chicken wasgrilled then fried after it had been marinated that much I could tell the peach pie was made with fresh peaches, the collardgreens were to die for and the cornbread was just unbelievable. The soul food restaurant was very very good and reasonablypriced. For a family of four with dessert we had very hearty meals!. I will definitely stop by this restaurant again anytime Iam in this area. Read more
Fresh food. Like a lot of soul good spots the sides are the stars here. Loved the mac and cheese, yams and potato salad. The... corn bread was also delicious and warm not too soft and not too firm. Fountain soda machine was not working only had 1 or 2options working. I wish they would have told me that before buying a fountain soda. Catfish po boy was good but needed some moresauce imo.

Dined here with my date before attending a show, the food was very good, wasn't sure I'd be able to eat anything as I'm on a... restricted diet, I got baked chicken w/ a mix of collard greens & cabbage, it was good, could've used some type of dippingsauces. My date got the fried chicken & waffles w/ a side of baked mac & cheese, he loved it, his meal was much more flavorfulthen mine, I'd definitely come back to try other stuff, great lil place to eat, nice staff. Highly recommend trying it. Read more
Amazing! I absolutely loved it. It was clean and they had a gel sanitizer as soon as you came through the door. I saw the staff... disinfecting the tables as people were leaving. The food is great and I think it was priced well. Great atmosphere! I lovedtheir music selection too. Read more

Will definitely be back and we?ll be recommending this spot to our friends andfamily. Read more
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. Thechicken and turkey wings were tender inside but had that nice crisp on the outside. The cornbread was buttery and sweet all atthe same time. The sides were also seasoned well. My favorite out of the collard greens and cabbage was the cabbage. I?ll begoing through the tunnel again soon. The staff was so personable and attentive. Love me some Kawana. Thank you Kawana for thegreat service. Read more
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 Macand cheese wasn?t that great, didn?t have much seasoning or flavor at all. The potato salad was the worst of all. The cornbreadand collard greens were tasty though. I wish I could?ve gotten a refund at least for the uncooked chicken but I don?t live inNewark and I ordered in the store. Read more
Very welcoming! Excellent batter/ breading on every dish - catfish, whiting (fish)& chicken -- light, savory & perfect... compliment to both fish; light savory, crispy & delicious for the chicken. First we've had fried food that was not heavy & didnot leave that heavy feeling of regret in your stomach the rest of the day ???? Collard greens were cooked perfectly - notthough, not mushy; the cabbage was really tasty (texture similar to when you have corned beef & cabbage); Mac & cheese was good,mac cooked just right, though kids thought it could be "cheesier;" potato salad was a tasty surprise as it was made with relish- we liked it! Cornbread was moist & sugary sweet. Loved the use of trays, actual plates, mason jar glass mugs & paper straws tohelp reduce waste! Everyone was friendly, helpful & welcoming. THANK YOU!!! Read more
