The Weekend Spot Restaurant

"I met Chef Mo in Restaurant Depot. She told me about her restaurant in Newark. I told her I would visit the following week. The food at The Weekend Spot was excellent.... I am a New Yorker and we love food. I had the Mac and cheese, Collard greens, Jasmine rice, black beans, potatoe salad, fried chicken and Oxtail stew..... I better not forget the banana pudding.....Everything was good. I mean excellent..... Flavors are bursting thru your mouth. Thank you Chef Mo for introducing me to your Weekend Spot Restaurant.... The workers are Friendly, helpful and professional...... Please visit The Weekend Spot you will not be disappointed.... I am recommending this spot to all my family, friends and co workers."

"I was skeptical about this restaurant. Only because I was trying it through DoorDash. Let me tell you! I ordered the whiting and shrimp. It came with hush puppies and fries. The sides I ordered were 2 garlic string beans, 1 order of cabbage and 2 slices of cornbread. I also ordered the Smothered chicken. You can choose dark or white meat.My husband chose the breast and a wing in chicken gravy for my husband it came with 2 sides. He chose the garlic potatoes and the yellow rice. The fish and shrimp was pleasing to my eyes! That’s a huge deal to me! I told my husband that the food was pretty ! The color of the food was perfect coloring. The fish and shrimp had a golden color. and fried just right it was not hard and dry it was very pleasing to my pallet! The string beans were on point for my husband and myself! The cabbage was on delicious and not greasy! The cornbread was fresh and melted in our mouths! My husband said that the smothered chicken was delicious as well as the rice ,string beans cornbread was delicious!! Run do not walk to this restaurant! You definitely will not go wrong! This was our first time ordering from there but it definitely will not be our last!!"

"This place is trash …front girl worker had to be about 16 was very slow on the cash register…counting seemed little bit hard for her..she moves beyond slow & can’t handle more than one thing at a time.. I stood in line for 10-15 with only 2 other customers in front of me ! Mind you they called me & stated the food was ready 15 mins prior . Now lemme get started on the FOOD. STAY AWAY ! It’s giving “I just woke up 1 day & decided to open a restaurant” . I’m really curious as to where the cook got their culinary training from ? On paper a Puerto Rican soul food infusion is an amazing idea but there has to be execution & on that note failed miserably. You have to know how to be able to mix & blend flavors correctly & not rely on sofrito sauce to get you buy. Everything was bland tasteless …the MAC & cheese was beyond horrendous…just noodles dried up cheese & pepper! Salt non existent! Why are there over 60 menu items for such a small establishments. Focus on a few menu items & get those to perfection Overall I would stay away there much better quality of food in the area. The customer service is what really sealed the deal for me Wendy’s drive through at 1am moves faster then this place & that little big child they have working the register"

"Great Environment, Great Hospitality, Great Food , Food did take some time but great food will take a long time to perfect .. The white rice with the red beans are so delicious. Fried Fish and Fried Shrimp is a must try and make sure you don’t forget to get The Uptown to wash all the food down and finish off with the Strawberry Cheesecake… I’ll be back you’re favorite reviewer Ariii"
