The Peach Blossom Eatery — Restaurant in Newark

This place has really good food. We had the burrito, a panacake, which was a little hard and not hot when it came out, so that tells me they cooked the panacake and it got done but the burrito and/or the shrimp and hominy that we got as well was not done making the panacake cold from sitting. They should’ve brought the pancake to the table as soon as it came off the griddle or cooked that last. The panacake was not bad though but would’ve been better got or close to hot. The shrimp and burrito were good and also the pastries We had a wait for food and the manger gave us free pastries in the house took a percentage of the total off the bill, which is amazing customer service. Now for the reason for 2 stars for service.

Right before we went in to eat a waitress came outside to serve customers eating outside and they had a dog. The waitress petted the dog and then allowed the lick her hands. Now that was so unsanitary, nasty, disgusting and definitely against any health code policies. She went into the restaurant and did not go wash her hands, she went on serving people and we know because we came in right behind her to see what she was going do, but even if she did you don’t let a dog and let them lick your hands when your serving the public and unfortunately she was out waitress too. She gave us our drinks with no straws so I asked her for a straw and she gave us two coffee stirring straws, the black thin ones and what was horrible about it was that she handed them to me with no kind of wrapping. She had them in her bare dog petted and licked hands like that was normal to give someone a straw not individually wrapped, which was not even the right straw to drink water or juice out of in her bare hands and she had them gripped right in the middle of the straws so I couldn’t even use one end of the straw that could have clean be she gripped them were they would be emerged on your drink. I looked around was everyone Elsie who has water, juice or soda had a regular straw, so I asked another waiter for a straw and he gave me an individual wrapped straw and I didn’t have to ask for it to be the right type of straw. I was like is this girl not trained, doing this on purpose, not bright or is it that she is just a dirty person and I believe she is just a dirty, non handwashing, with little to no type of proper home training when it comes to being clean because of she did she wouldn’t pet a dog and purposely let the dog lick her hand. I forgot her name but she had blond hair, peach colored skin, nose piercings and about 5’-4. Just because of her I would never eat there again, even though the customer service from the manager was amazing. I don’t want to be getting food poisoning and/or some other type of sickness because...

I’ve been thinking about eating at The Peach Blossom Eatery for sometime. My partner was there about a week ago with her friends and absolutely loved it. She’s been having a really painful two weeks due to her Grandfather possibly passing away soon. I figured going to a place she loves for lunch and a moment of calm would help. So, that’s how we ended up at Peach Blossom.

Right away we were greeted by a Host with really welcoming energy. He wore a pink Shania Twain shirt that was dope. We were seating quick and given water right away. With the heat and humidity it was really nice to just have it. The waiter was extremely quick when it came to getting to our table. He’s a good dude and it felt like he enjoyed his job. Apparently my partner talked to him when she was there her first time and she was excited to have him as the waiter again. My Partner ordered the Chicken Cutty as well as the Lavender French. One bite of the sandwich and she was in heaven. The Lavender French was exactly what she hoped for. I ordered the Cuban, a Peach Soda, and an iced latte. The Cuban was the best I’ve had in a long time because the meat was super tender and moist. The Peach soda is exactly that. Peach with, I believe, sparkling water. I was surprised because it wasn’t what I expected but it was so perfectly simple that I warmed up to it right away. The latte was perfect as well. Not too sweet and the coffee packed a punch that a lot of lattes don’t have.

I asked the waiter about how to review incase there was a different place than google. After he answered my question a woman, who was sitting at the back bar, walked over to me and said that I’m welcome to write a review on google but if it’s more of a personal review then she would like it if I talked to her. I explained how much I enjoyed this experience, not just for me because I could tell my partner had her moment of calm, and that I was blown away.

Woman introduced herself as Olivia and as one of the owners. Olivia, if you some how read through my review/story time and got here, this part is definitely more for you and your staff.

Thank you. Thank you being such a wonderful team and just being who you all are. As well as having some of the best food on Main Street, obviously.We will definitely be back again and again.

Thanks again, Sam

Tldr; Eat here. It’s...

if i could give zero stars, i would. upon walking in, i thought it was a cute little establishment and was excited for my friend to have a birthday brunch there. until we talked to the miss ma’am at the front who was everything but kind or even attentive to my friend asking for a table. as a former hostess/waitress and even a decent human being, you treat humans with kindness and respect. but you never know what kind of day a person is having, we let it slide it. then they said that they would put together two TWO-people tables for EIGHT people. but then, a picnic table outside open up and my friend went back to ask them for it for us; miss ma’am said no because she wanted to seat FOUR people at that very spacious table. they wouldn’t seat us until we were all there and i guess, that’s fair. but the tables weren’t even enough for us to sit comfortably. the other waitress tried to be polite but not really. we were in a sour mood (RIGHTFULLY SO) and i’m sure they were talking about us in the restaurant. my friend’s sister spoke up for us and miss ma’am came out and took a dig at my friend, saying “sorry but i told her it’d be a tight squeeze.” like, okay girl. We got drinks, paid, and left. as people of color (brown and black), it felt very prejudice and i felt that some of the white people got preferential treatment. it could also just be that they lacked common sense, courtesy, and respect or they were just plain rude. but i wouldn’t come back. not even if my life depended on it. and the coffee wasn’t even good, how do you have a bad attitude and bad...
