I went to the location at Newark Liberty Airport. The food was the absolute best, coconut shrimp, burger, chicken sandwiches and soup. Everything tasted like a five start restaurant. Visit them you won't regret it!

I come here every time I’m in Newark on business. This is some of the best barbecue I’ve ever had. The barbecue beef rib is unbelievable and can’t find one near where I live anywhere close to as good as this. I live in the south and know good barbecue. This place is very good. Great bar great atmosphere great service.

Love this place. I am there often, great atmosphere. The food is always perfectly seasoned. Seafood is fresh. The “Mussels with Sausage” appetizer is beyond amazing. Ohhhh, and the mashed potatoes??? Out of this world…homemade, buttery, comforting for the soul. I am a food lover, I know when effort is put in my food when I eat out. Also the Shrimp Tacos…the portions are not small. Their desserts are to die for. The staff is positive, fun. They are very attentive. I always seat at the bar area I always go for a “Jojo Marley” my favorite drink. The inside is well decorated and the outside is simply a vibe that you can’t find that beauty put together anywhere else in Newark. Make sure you check their patio. The flowers are gorgeous and their decoration is perfect for private events as well.

This place is so nice I'm not sure why it was empty on a Sunday but it looks like a fun place to go to for night life with a beautiful patio. The bar is really cool to made out of wood. Lots of good sports on TV including soccer which is so cool. Staff was super friendly and the brisket was so good! Will come back next time I'm in New Jersey!

Went here on Sunday and the vibes didn’t disappoint. From the food, drinks, and live band— the experience was great. The staff are attentive, and accommodating, and everyone that comes here is friendly and open.
