Bentleys - Newark

First time trying this place. I like to try and support small black-owned businesses when I can, but when I do I 'm often disappointed. For the prices I was charged most of the food was underwhelming. I ordered the lump crab cakes with mac and potato salad. The mac was beyond dry to say the least(pics to follow). I also ordered the lobster roll which had a very strong fishy smell to it. Not used to that from fresh seafood. Me and my wife went to an actual seafood restaurant and I smell more fish from this roll than I did from the actual seafood restaurant. My wife ordered the henny wings with collards and mac. Her mac was just as dry as mines with the collards being bland and the wings being just barely passed cooked for consumption. The only winner was the lobster mac and cheese. Other than that I don 't think I will be giving this place another try especially not with the quality of food for the prices they charge.

The food looks good, but when you actually eat it there?s no flavor, no seasoning, how do you not use salt? But the chicken had an odd sweetness. The mac and cheese was dry. KFC has better mac and cheese, put that into perspective. The peach cobbler looks like jail food. The peach cobbler from the military MRE?s taste better and they?re pre-packaged. The only thing that they made good was the plantains.

My husband and I where on vacation and discovered this hidden gem. The atmosphere was soothing as well as the food we ordered. I ordered oxtails with a side of kale greens and mac n cheese and it was cooked /prepared/served to perfection! My husband ordered chicken wings and fries which where juicy, sweet and tender. This is definitely on our must eats list when we are in town. (Wish they had a location in Dallas, lol) Thanks again Bentleys of NJ for your exception service and immaculate food!
