This was my first time visiting the establishment. It was five (5) of us visiting for the first time. Place was very clean and very inviting. I was quite impressed the owner came out and greeted us so politely. Today was the first time I ever tried Brussel sprouts (I’m addicted), Mac and cheese (I’m going to HELL eating all this deliciousness); Henny wings, candied yams (Fresh); dirty rice, etc. Nothing was bad. Food was freshly prepared with a dash of love, and seasoned to perfection. You will not be disappointed. I traveled from PA and will come again

This was our first but not the last visit! We started nibbling before we even put our seat belts on LOL. Absolutely delicious!!! We had the Henny wings, Poboy sandwich with Cajun fries, and Catfish and shrimp with rice n peas, corn muffins, and Mac n cheese. We had enough food for leftovers the next day.
The young gentleman was absolutely wonderful with customer service. The restaurant was clean including behind the counter. Of course there’s a wait when you’re cooking fresh food (just like when we cook our own food ), I don’t understand why anyone would complain about that lol… take your time so it’s right! Thank you for an amazing first time experience. Delicious!

This was my very first time visiting A Mother’s Touch Bistro in Livingston, NJ — and honestly, I’m mad at myself for putting it off for so long! I finally decided to stop by with some friends, and from the moment we walked in, I knew it was going to be a great experience.
The staff was super friendly, and the cashier, Charlotte, was truly the cherry on top. She made our visit worthwhile with her warm personality and great conversation while our food was being prepared. It’s always nice meeting someone genuine, especially a fellow Jersey native!
The restaurant itself was spotless, and you could tell everything was made fresh to order. The menu has so many great options, and for the quality and portion sizes, the prices are an absolute steal! I ordered the chicken wing dinner entrée with 7-cheese mac and cheese and bourbon yams—every bite was incredible. I also tried the lunch special sliders, which came with three nicely sized sliders and Cajun fries, plus the soul rolls (egg rolls stuffed with mac and cheese and yams — genius idea and so good!). To drink, I got the Uptown, a refreshing 32oz drink that’s another amazing deal.
Everything was delicious, and the portions were so generous I couldn’t even finish — which just means I had more to enjoy later!
If you’re looking for delicious, affordable soul food in a clean, friendly, and welcoming environment, I highly recommend A Mother’s Touch Bistro. I’ll most definitely be back!

Decent food!!!
I really enjoyed it.
I only pass this place if I’m taking a detour from work and I finally hit the u turn and went.
Parking SUCKS know that.
I’m vegetarian so I got like 90% of all the sides.
What I liked the most is they did not add sugar to savory dishes! This food was close to what I make at home. It’s plain and simple but very good! I ate everything. And my meat eater friend ate it all too!
If I pass this way again, I will stop in. But I doubt I go out of my way to come again because it’s so close to what I already make at home.
Maybe it’s more of a catering place for when you have multiple mouths to feed and don’t want to cook but you must have good food.

Food was great, its a bit pricey, but its worth it. I had the Hennessy wings meal, Jerk chicken meal, and i had to try the collard greens egg roll…i suggest order before you go. But its worth every penny, am going back, its so much more on the menu.

I had to stop by to get me some soul food and Imma tell y’all you to go get some of these, the catfish is well season, the sweet potato is a good balance of sweetness and not overly sweet, the collard green is well seasoned and flavorful. The cashier had a overall a good energy when greeting me and helping me with my order. I would definitely be coming back again.

I’ve been to A Mother Touch twice now and both visits were great. The food tastes fresh, seasoned well, and really gives you that authentic homemade soul food feeling. I ordered the wings, yams, and macaroni both times and everything was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The yams had the right amount of sweetness, the mac and cheese was creamy and rich, and the wings were cooked just right.
I also want to give a special shoutout to Ebony for the excellent customer service. She was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was taken care of. Great food and great service definitely makes this a spot I’ll keep coming back to.

The food was great. The chicken was fried to perfection. The collard greens was not over salty & had juicy turkey in it, the dirty rice was on point. My only critique would be the catfish was slightly overcooked but it had amazing flavor. Overall id come back to try something else for sure!
Just a tip for newcomers. I would order ahead & pickup. The wait was about 25 minutes. Which i didnt mind because that means its fresh! There are no bathrooms & only outdoor seating available for up to 4 people. So keep that in mind if youre coming to eat in person. If I lived in NJ I would definitely be picking up food to go often.

I need to go back to try other dishes, but my 1st impression is underwhelming. There has been a lot of hype around this place. The main takeaway from the 3 dishes is that they are under seasoned. My Cajun catfish and sheimp were no close to Cajun. The mac and cheese is the queen of the ball.

I ordered from you on Saturday and unfortunately was very disappointed with both the service and the quality of the food. I placed an order for two dinners — a fish and fries combo, a jerk salmon dinner with yams and potato salad, as well as the collard greens egg rolls.
When I called in, the person on the phone rushed me through my order and ended the call without a thank you or any courtesy. The food itself also fell short of expectations:
• The salmon was so overly seasoned that it was difficult to enjoy, and the rice and beans were dry.
• The whiting sandwich only came with two pieces of fish, whereas I’m used to receiving 3–5 pieces, especially at this price point.
• I specifically requested plain fries, but they were heavily seasoned with parsley and Old Bay.
• The yams were the most disappointing — they were very dark in color, tasted sour with too much nutmeg, and were inedible. Even my two-year-old spit them out.
For a $70 order, I was expecting much higher quality and better service. I wanted to bring this to your attention in hopes that it can be addressed for future customers.
