Whew! I 'll try to be kind while still giving my honest feedback. This was the second time I ordered from The weekend spot and I hate that I didn 't give that chance to another business. I spent $50 on a whiting plate with rice and cabbage and fried chicken with kale and macaroni. The whiting was ok, seemed to be a bit thinner than I 'm used to having. The rice was ok. it didn 't seem to be fresh or seasoned well. The cabbage was only boiled with no other seasoning. The kale was ok. The macaroni was murdered. Dry and not cheesy at all. I 'm from the south, born and raised, and it seems my folk up North need a lesson on how to make a proper mac and cheese. Now the fried chicken really burned...
This place is trash front girl worker had to be about 16 was very slow on the cash registercounting 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...
I was hesitant to try this restaurant, especially ordering through DoorDash. However, I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the whiting and shrimp with hush puppies and fries, along with sides of garlic string beans, cabbage, and cornbread. I also got the Smothered chicken, where you can choose dark or white meat. My husband chose the breast and a wing with chicken gravy, along with sides of garlic potatoes and yellow rice. The fish and shrimp looked amazing and tasted even better. The color was perfect and the food was cooked perfectly – not overdone or dry. The string beans, cabbage, and cornbread were also delicious. My husband loved the smothered chicken, as well as the rice and sides. O...
Highly disappointed. We came in to order and spent close to $100 on our order. After waiting in line for almost 20 minutes, to place our order, with only 2 people in front of us (which, one left without ordering)our order was taken. We watched multiple orders being over the phone and additional walk in orders come and go. Several times we were told our order would be out shortly. An hour and 40 minutes later, after speaking up..... we had our food. Definitely not worth the wait at all, let alone the food was cold when we got our order.

The Weekend Spot is a soul food take out that I stumbled across while working a freelance gig in Newark. The food was good, the service was on point and Mo the owner was so cool and chilled we had good conversation while I was placing my order. I got the Whiting dinner with mac cheese, collards/cabbage mix and corn bread. This place is definitely the Weekend Spot for soul food take out. I didn’t even get home before I ate it all in my car Mo we need a Weekend Spot in the New Brunswick, Somerset area for sure! I ll be back soon. Mike
The food was ok could've definitely been alot better. I had bbq chicken (dark meat) with bake mac cheese and sweet potatoes. The bbq chicken was over sauced i felt like a whole bottle of bbq sauce was poured over the chicken. The mac cheese was dry and the sweet potatoes were different they had pineapples and raisins in them which was kinda good minus the raisins. For dessert i had banana pudding which was awesome . Service: Take out

Thanks for the excellent food and great customer service and on top of that it’s a Cowboys family. Food: 5
The Weekend Spot is a favorite among students at Michelle Obama Elementary School in Newark. The food is incredible and reminds us of a delicious Thanksgiving meal. Once you try it, you'll be hooked just like we are. Delivery service is available for lunch.
