Big Easy of Downtown Trenton — Restaurant in Trenton

Big Easy of Downtown Trenton is a gem! The food here is absolutely immaculate. I ordered the stuffed salmon, paired with salmon fried rice and a side of mac and cheese. Every single dish was packed with flavor, cooked to perfection, and arrived hot and fresh. The stuffed salmon was rich, tender, and perfectly seasoned, while the mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and comforting. The salmon fried rice was a unique twist that brought out the bold, savory flavors—simply outstanding!

The service was exceptional and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Each server took the time to explain the menu items in detail, offering helpful insights into the flavors, ingredients, and preparation of each dish. Their passion for the food and pride in what they serve really shone through, adding a personal touch that made us feel valued and at home.

The atmosphere of Big Easy radiates character and culture. The decor, music, and vibe celebrate the soul food experience, creating a space that’s inviting and full of life. The space feels both cozy and vibrant, with an ambiance that’s perfect for relaxing and enjoying a meal with friends and family.

My Lunch Date and I wanted something really good for lunch, we were choosing between, “The Hummingbird” , “1911 Smokehouse” (which are both steps away from each other). and "The Big Easy". We decided on "The Big Easy"

I forgoed looking at the menu before ordering and instead let my eyes decide. I had “Fried Chicken Wings”, “Mac n Cheese” , “Collard Greens” and a “Bottled Peach Tea”. My Date had “Sweet Chili Wings”, “Mac n Cheese”, “Collard Greens” and a “Bottled Water”.

I found the Wings to be good, but was really bowled over by her “Sweet Chili Wings”. The “Collard Greens” were ok, not the best a little bland, the “Mac n Cheese” was good. I found the service very fast, the variety great and the staff very pleasant, We dine out a lot and are aware of the typical cost for a decent restaurant experience.

As such we were not disappointed, however the bill was $30 (Including Tip) which if we were say in Atlantic City, or Philly would’ve been a GREAT Price, but in comparison to what’s available near-by and for Lunch, I can say that it seemed over-priced. Suffice to say I will return, but because of the cost, I would only visit...

I went during lunch time around noon. I ordered the Mac n cheese, string beans,collard greens and ox-tail. For 2 sides and 1 meat $15. Pros - waitress was polite and attentive 2.Restaurant decor is very nice 3.Great music playing 4.Location is convenient 5.Was decently priced given the location and portion size 6.Ox-tail was tender. Sauce had a nice flavor Cons- 1.My least favorite dish was the Mac n cheese.the cheese used did not give the taste a kick. Didn't really taste seasoned. 2.The string beans didn't have much flavor either. The collard greens were okay. 3.Potato salad was offered as a menu item but the waitress informed us that there was no more .Before offering the menu items, items should be verified. I decided to try this restaurant because it was suggested to me. I was disappointed because as a soul food restaurant Mac n cheese and collard greens should be on point. When you grow up on soul food, you become a tough critic lol I would visit again to...
