"At the Marcus B & P in Newark, we pay $20 per hour. That’s almost double New Jersey’s minimum wage of $11 per hour, because we know essential workers deserve higher pay while putting their health on the line, and coming as close we can to paying people their worth is part of how we climb back from this crisis — and also begin to address the issues of economic justice and fair pay, which go to the heart of the sweeping systems that the ongoing protests aim to address." - Marcus Samuelsson

"At Marcus Samuelsson’s downtown Newark restaurant Marcus B & P, he’s worked wonders with mac and cheese, locating his version somewhere between Roman cacio e pepe and the traditional soul food rendition. It’s gooey and salty, sharpened with cracked black peppercorns and topped with extra shaved pecorino and bread crumbs." - Robert Sietsema

"Marcus Samuelsson’s Marcus B & P has been open a little over a year northwest of downtown Newark, and has established quite a following. It’s not a bad walk (or a cheap cab ride) from the PATH station to the comfortable restaurant that seems decades older than its actual age. The giant fried chicken platter is a tour de force, and even the cornbread, with its giant schmear of butter on the side, is praiseworthy. But the chef doesn’t stick to soul food. The dorowat rigatoni adapts the Ethiopian national dish, while a jerk cauliflower, hemmed in with lentils, provides a new take on a Jamaican dish." - Eater Staff

I have been here 4 times in the last month. I have had the southern breakfast which comes with chicken sausage, eggs, potatoes, and the best biscuit (next to my mama's) I've ever had. The photos do these dishes very little justice. Each dish posted, are very different with very different tastes. And still each one is so DELICIOUS 😋. I love this place. She their Cosmopolitans. 🍸😊 Yes, the food is absolutely wonderfully delicious. But the place itself has a whole vibe and displays plenty of art, diversity and culture throughout the restaurant. If I were to recommend anything on your first, second, even third visit would be to try the chicken and cornbread waffles. As you can see in the pictures, it will not and does not disappoint. On my next visit, maybe I'll have the shrimp and grits. I'll keep you posted.

Great food, I had the Oxtail Ragu and it did not disappoint. I also grabbed a side of Mac and cheese. I was impressed which is saying something because as a rule I don't care for restaurant Mac and Cheese. Somehow restaurants always manage to mess it up for me. Y'all did a great job. I also treated myself to the brownie and ice cream. It wasn't my cup of tea, but I'll give it a 10 because it was quality and really creative to the pallet. Things guys I'll be back.

The girls and I got together for food and drinks here. I been here a long time ago before and was looking forward to it. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and found my table. The place is super cute! We were served by Kioni, and she was great. I started with the lemon drop martini drink, and it was good. For my meal I got the mussels and it was delicious. The girls really enjoyed their meals and they looked so good. The bill was very affordable, and I definitely enjoyed my time!

Went with my husband last night and we really enjoyed it. Every bite was delicious! We had the grilled salmon with watermelon salad and the chicken and waffle. Everything had so much flavor and texture. To drink, we enjoyed a lychee martini and an espresso martini. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. Will definitely be coming back!

I had the opportunity to finally visit this restaurant after passing by several times while shopping at Whole Foods (which is just around the corner) with my college-bound twins. It was an early Father’s Day dinner. The food, in my opinion, was good and my son agreed. He even mentioned he would like to return. However, my daughter became emotional during dinner. So, she did not have much to say about the meal, except that she did not enjoy the deviled eggs. On the other hand, I personally enjoyed them. We had a great experience visiting the Red Rooster in Harlem a few years ago and it was evident that the neighborhood community fully supports the restaurant. Thus, for this place located in downtown Newark, it might take the additional support from the surrounding business community to make it a long lasting go-to spot in the area. Nonetheless, I plan to visit again in order to gain a better perspective on the overall experience.

What a delight!! I’m so glad I came here. The deviled eggs are absolutely addictive. I could easily eat 3 orders in one sitting. The cornbread is probably even better!! You will not want to share. The appetizers are pretty strong and I could easily just come for apps and drinks. I had the oxtail pizza. It was okay but paled in comparison to the deviled eggs and cornbread. My friend who had the ragu raved about it. I also had the roasted corn (which I thought would be whole but was more of a chowder fyi). The corn was good and so were the fries but both were a little heavy on the salt. Overall a good experience. At the very least you must go for the cornbread and deviled eggs!! I will probably be back to try the ragu.

The food was mediocre - the fried chicken was dry and you can get much better ones at Popeyes. The pasta was also basic. It also took forever to get served even thought there weren’t that many customers.

Experienced the sexiest, tastiest, seasoned waffle fry I’ve encountered in all of my life, to complement an equally tasty ‘Yard Bird’ Sandwich (Not pictured since I was so consumed with eating them). Staff was attentive and atmosphere very welcoming. Prices are surprisingly affordable. Will be back and most definitely would recommend. Good news, I was back and it was better. 10/10 would recommend. 🙂
