Bloomfield has a lot of good food spots. Gotta go back to Montclair, I haven’t been there since college but they’ve really upgraded the food and night scene. Love it!!! 💖

[@MattDV]

Yes.

[@derekgaters4536]

Matt it's gater. That food looks delicious. Also I went to that spot ferry st BBQ on Sunday, and the ribs were delicious. It was just too much rice and not enough meat but the meat that I got was delicious. Chicken was good also but the line was going out the door.

[@MattDV]

You know, I should have captured the video line, but some people looked as if they did not want to be on camera. I know what you mean. They pile the rice on but that BBQ is delicious.

[@Gmen4life]

I love the fact that food was free I hate when I watch these videos and they charge the food reviewers

[@MattDV]

I feel you. And, we have to be careful not to be biased because the food was free. We have to tell it like it is.

[@Gmen4life]

@@MattDV I can't tell you enjoyed the food I may take a ride over from Jersey City

Hi Pat. You are very welcome, my friend. They truly did. It may have been the cabbage. They were mixed greens.

[@chipguy11]

Yum DV!! Like them that size also! Good they had hot sauce! I seen shrimp on that menu! Should have split order chicken and shrimp!! Looked tasty as usual! Or was that just your magic! lol!

[@michaeljohnson4344]

"Between the brick wall and the bay window, you found your soul." This is the best looking video so far. I'm no director, but I liked the first camera angle SLIGHTLY better since it showed more of you and the red couch. However, the second shot showed more of that gorgeous restaurant, so now I'm torn. With that pure sunshine pouring into the room and dancing off every surface of The Juke Joint, you had the perfect spot inside AND on the patio at the same time.

[@MattDV]

LOL LOL, Im laughing because I was also torn. If I could do it again I would have put both camera's to my right. The second angle was a little silhouetted. Thank you very much. Means a lot.

[@DearBoi-mg2fb]

Okay that's definitely delicious looking! Where is this place again? LoL 😂❤

Hello, my friend. Can't remember off hand, but we posted it in the video. Thank you.

[@mtthwdnns]

A great eatery been several times

[@MattDV]

[@TeeMoneyTight]

If they could maintain their hours and full menu, they would be a 10. To often they don’t open on time or out of menu items. Like how are you out of cornbread? It’s jiffy with a kick.

Thanks for sharing TeeMoney.

[@greenangeleyes614]

Don't be fooled by what you are seeing in this video. I guarantee everything went right for Matt bcuz they just opened! There's always a LONG waiting period and they always run out of certain dishes or sides without telling the customers. You really don't have to take my word for it, but just read the reviews of this restaurant. I'm not one to down any business, but customer service should come first as well as quality.

[@MattDV]

Thanks for your candor . Oh, did you like the food ?

[@greenangeleyes614]

​@@MattDV unfortunately when my hubby and me went over 4 years ago, it was in the evening time and what we wanted they ran out of. So what we did manage to get (which wasn't much) was ok, but overall disappointed at the place. We had to wait almost an hour just for them to tell us they didn't have what we ordered. It was the first time there and the last. I am one to show my support for small businesses, especially in my area of Newark. Newark is home❤. What I could suggest to you if you've never tried yet are 2 other places, one Soul Food and the other Jamaican. MaMa's Southern Style BBQ II at 2083 Springfield Ave, Vauxhall, NJ is the first, and 2nd would be Cafe Mobay at 1039 Broad St, Bloomfield, NJ And if you like Deli spots, go to the New Jersey version of Katz at Pastrami Grill Bistro at 83 River Dr, Garfield, NJ Note: They actually have 2 workers that worked at Katz Deli before working at this Restaurant. Just a few suggestions for you! Thank you Matt for what you do! Keep showing the love for our Community and small businesses around the area! ☺️👌🏽
