Soul Food Chess House - Newark

I had the pleasure of eating from this restaurant 2 days ago and I want to say the food was delicious. Everything I ordered was very good. The yams, mac cheese, oxtails, chicken, turkey chops, potato salad collard greens was all fantastic. I give them a 5 star and we are ordering from them now...

Solid place to eat some delicious Soulfood… my favorite is the oxtail over rice with macaroni and cheese and potato salad. Second favorite would be the grilled salmon(comes with a sauce on top) with yellow rice and macaroni and cheese. My third favorite are the chicken wings(6 pieces of whole wings) perfectly fried with macaroni and cheese and cabbage. Not many businesses like this around. They do not serve pork. I’ve tried the catfish, whiting, and beef short ribs. All delicious.

It place kept showing me this spot, so I decided to come check it out. This is basically a take out spot. Due to the Pandemic, you have to order outside underneath a tent. At the time, it wasn't to crowded. You have to wait about 15 minutes after you order your food. The Turkey Wings were delicious. The Catfish could have been seasoned better. Overall, the food was good.

The food wasn't too bad for an out-of-towner like me

The only reason y I tried it again was because of that one time that I ate from here the mac and cheese and yams was great. I'm searching for that taste again. But the food I just got today was basically telling me yall don't care. They literally took elbow noodles and shredded cheese and mix them togather and put it in the oven so the cheese and melt a little and put cheese on top. Definitely not baked mac and cheese super disappointed. Never again. I just recieved my food like this. Def a waste of money.
