Diddy’s Lounge & Southern Grill

"This is by far one of the worst dining experiences ever. My wife and I order whiting fish with kale and Mac and cheese. Appetizer was fried shrimp. The shrimp wasn’t great it clearly was out of a box. Wasn’t like they were so busy they couldn’t use fresh shrimp and batter it. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse, the entrees came out. One whole piece of whiting cut in half. Mind you, whiting fish isn’t expensive at all. The kale was horrible. So dry I took one bite and left it there. The Mac and cheese tasted like Kraft out of the box. This restaurant is an embarrassment and clearly they lost any and every sense of authenticity they may have had in the past. I wouldn’t feed my dog this food. The Chef/Owner never came by once to ask how our food was. He didn’t care. I will never support them again. I feel like I got robbed. The atmosphere was as horrible as the food. The guy singing was horrible. Please don’t go to Diddy’s it’s a complete waste of an evening."

"This sucks because I want to like this place since the owner is a cool guy but it’s really mid. For starters this “soul food” doesn’t hit your soul the mac n cheese is horrible like I’m talking a disgrace to the race bad. The cornbread is hard and dry and when it’s soft it’s still dry. All meals I’ve tried aren’t restaurant quality more like that one uncle who says he knows how to cook at the BBQ type of quality but in reality he only knows prison recipes. You get the point right? In a town like this i imagine most are gonna find this spot to be nice just cause of the looks and parties/drinks but I can assure you anyone who’s actually had soul food or Caribbean food is not eating here on the regular. I gotta give it 1 star cause the events are nice but I truly am convinced that the events and cool owner are the only things this place has going for itself. Though in a town like Suffern this type of restaurant doesn’t have much competition. I really did wanna like this place but after trying muitple meals I can honestly say this place is pretty bad and that’s being kind. A cool design with live music and nice bar cannot save you from a mediocre attempt at jerk seasoning or disgraceful mac and cheese. And smaller items like the wings and burgers yea they are just quick heat food no homemade batter no handmade patties just stuff you literally can buy from Walmart and make yourself so ignore that side of the menu for your kids sake. I want to see black owned business win but the food the portions the kids menu all of it made me really depressed for our people genuinely makes me sad this place sucks."

"It’s a Friday night back again for the spicy burger with bacon! The first time i was here has the wings does a rate for one day at a burger fell in love. “Diversity”Rude Boy Ruddy on the Mic, DJ Twiz on the one and two, so you know it’s a grate vibe."

"As I was on the highway, I googled soul food restaurants near me, and this place happened to pop up. It's definitely a place not on my regular route home. It's a small spot with limited parking on the street. It's better to call in your order over the phone. It takes time for them to cook it with a wait time of 10-15 minutes, and that's with it being empty. The staff was friendly. The Pork Chops are DELICIOUS! It's seasoned well, and one of the best I've tasted so far. The Fried Fish is okay. You can add on Ribs at $2.50 each. They don't fall off the bone, but it was flavorful. The Mac & Cheese is okay, but doesn't taste like it was made from scratch. Overall, not bad."

"Place is just straight sweet and simple. Good consistent food at a great price. They offer weekly meal plans and more so it's a little more interesting then your average restaurant. Indoor and outdoor seating. Also have ordered via UberEats and it delivers well. I would absolutely recommend to others specifically for lunch."
