    This place was a absolute nightmare. The restaurant smells,the first red flag. I thought ah support black business. The food was rank smelling, second red flag. I tell no lies. The lady was rude with a screwed up look on her face. Third red flag 🚩 The chicken was drywall. I picked at it and put it down, paid and left. Burned rubber leaving that place. I know every restaurant can have a bad plate once in a while. I will never patronize them again. Your experience maybe wonderful. This is my experience and it was a nightmare. No cap .

    We ordered from Tastey's via DoorDash on 1/31/21 and it was great! The portions were very generous. The potato salad in particular was amazing but it was all very good. Would definitely recommend! Sorry the pictures are so dark, had a purple light on in the room.

    Over priced and bad customer service. The food was not even tasty. The corn bread was so dry I literally almost chocked. 😩 The collard greens were undercooked and the yams was to sweet. The Mac and cheese was burnt and had no favor what so ever.The chicken wings were solid but a blind monkey can cook chicken wings.

    One of the best southern food I’ve had in North Jersey. Had the ox tail and it’s literally falling off the bone. The yams are seasoned to perfection. Highly recommend this place. Great job Gail !

    It was Friday didn't feel like cooking. The appearance was small I recommend to take food to go. But when I say don't judge a book by its cover…..Got home potato salad bomb, chicken wings perfectly seasoned, Turkey wings seasoned to perfection. Down Home soul food. I'm definitely going back.

    The Food and Customer Service was amazing. I am going to recommend this restaurant to everyone. I ordered on Grub hubb. After I received my food the owner called me personally to check and see how I liked the food. She was so sweet and professional. I will definitely order again. I had Oxtais, greens and cornbread stuffing. Everything was soooo good and I had a very large amount of food.

    Warm cute little cozy spot with big delicious plates of food. Taystey's is the Queen and the King of the homecooked meal.
