NJ Weedmans Joint

Love the fact that there is a legit place that serves real vegetarian food in Trenton. The Chef is awesome. He always checks to see if everything is ok. Don’t let the man get you down

Highly recommended. The fish sandwich was outstanding. The fresh bread made it. The Weedmans’s Joint is a little oasis of freedom on State street.

Staff friendly staff great food free pop corn
Bumblebee sauce was amazing I can’t wait till my next visit

DOPEST RESTURANT IN NEW JERSEY!
They don’t spend a ton on décor, but they pass the savings on to you. I stopped in for a coffee and the novelty but then I saw the menu (which was full of colorfully named food items). The $ 4.20 lunch menu had a meatball sandwich that came with fries and I had to try this place out.
Basically it’s a small, affordable luncheonette with all weed themed menu items. The food comes to go and the place was busy the whole time I was there. This place is right across from city hall and down the street from the Federal courthouse. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in Trenton for business. Street parking outside at meters.

While waiting for my food in a nearby establishment, I was checking on Unilocal other spots in the neighborhood and this place popped up, I had never heard of one quite like this, I don’t know if it’s for lack of paying attention or lack of interest, but looking at the pictures this one place definitely caught my interest and I bookmarked it. The day of my visit I actually did not intend on stopping here, but the powers that be had other intentions. I went to two spots and they were both closed, I looked up and literally here it was.
I go in check out the place, there is a section for complimentary coffee, nice touch. I looked over the menu and decided on the crab cakes… I really wanted the salmon burger I had seen pictured but I’m currently not eating bread so that was a wash. I added to my crab cakes a side of sweet potato fries, they looked delicious in the pics as well. I sat and waited for my food, a few interesting patrons came in and ordered as well, I know that salmon burger is delicious because it got a few orders while I was waiting.
Once my food was up, I paid and headed to the office, I will say next time I will either call ahead or wait outside. the interior has a certain aroma, evident from the title of the place that I’d prefer not to pick up. But I will say the aroma of the food that filled my car on the way back to the office was heavenly. I couldn’t get back to the office fast enough, I was so intrigued. I had every right to be, the flavors were amazing! The crab cakes were on a bed of mixed greens topped with blueberries. Delicious! The sweet potato (chips) were topped with like a honey/​fruit glaze. seriously? who does that?! It was so good!
I’m so glad I stopped in here, I was skeptical, but my love of good food, and ability to step out of the box definitely served well in this instance. I can’t wait to return.

I’m intrigued by this spot. I recently moved to Trenton and finally got over to check this place out. The owner was very nice and gave me a sample of his mayo-​less potato salad (which was pretty good). I ordered their chicken cheesesteak and sweet potato fries and it all tasted fresh and made to order. The steak was topped with fresh romaine lettuces, and the fries had a light coating of maple syrup. Order came up to $ 7.20 with tax. I’ll be back!

This place is a great neighborhood find! Less than a 5 minute drive from the Trenton train station. Great food for great prices. I ordered the salmon burger with the spring mix salad. The burger was large and the owner told me he recently upgraded the quality of the salmon. I believe it. He packaged up my to go order quickly and efficiently, even included a big thick napkin to clean up the bbq sauce! Service is super friendly. Liked the Ray Charles bobble head by the counter. Give this place some love, you won’t regret it!

Great fresh food at a very affordable price! I work in the area and next time I don’t bring a lunch I’m heading into NJ Weedman’s again.

Good & tasty food at a great price! Lots of breakfast & lunch selections & daily specials. The salmon burger & sweet potato fries are yummy. Having the chicken quesadilla (special) today. Yummy!

This is very new and unique business. Visit the web page
to get the full gist. Wish Ed would follow through and use paper instead of styrofoam and protect the environment though. Chicken and waffles were fine! Salmon burger was good!

I LOOOOOOOOVE the food here!!! The workers are very helpful. The Buffet is a blast.
I’ve been going non stop since my first visit… WoooHooo on the Salmon Burger

Great food and vibes… really enjoyed the food and atmosphere… the black beans burger is a must… Saturday afternoon is a great time with live music, DJ“s and spoken word. Grab ur crew and roll over and chilax…

Full disclosure: I am, in some areas of my life, an uptight puritan. I disapprove, personally, of recreational drug use. I’m in the minority, but I’m not confrontational, and can make decisions for myself without imposing my ideas on anyone else. I’ve known plenty of people who were able to partake and still function normally, so I don’t really judge. I also spent more than a decade living in Trenton, and watched with rage and a broken heart, the neighborhood kids choose to become drug dealers; I watched the soccer moms in their minivans, pull up alongside my house to buy; I witnessed petty turf wars and gang violence associated with this, and it ruined the quality of my life. The problems in Trenton are many, and the causes are complicated, and this is perhaps not the most appropriate place to delve into the matter. But the War on Drugs has certainly contributed to the dystopia in some of the tougher neighborhoods. I bet if drugs were legal, and/​or the penalties associated with selling/​buying were more sensible, we’d all be better off. One of the best things about living in the United States is that we can take a look at how one state handles a particular issue, and legislate with some experienced-​based knowledge, so it’s interesting to see what’s happening in Colorado. It’s interesting to see what’s happening in states that permit medical marijuana use. We can learn.
I also admire panache. I admire an underdog. I admire people who are willing to risk their comfort by facing off against a disinterested or self-​serving authority — not in an oppositional defiant, fighting-​for-​the-​sake-​of-​fighting, sense; but rather, my respect is for those folks who campaign with a purpose, a desire to educate, and need to help those without a voice. Ed Forchion is that person. It’s always a thrill to see his Weedmobile, and now it’s thrilling and amusingly heartwarming to see it parked across from Trenton City Hall, in front of his new restaurant, the Joint.
Restaurants come and go all the time, especially in Trenton, but there’s definitely a need for quick food in that spot, just steps away from City Hall, a short walk to the State House, and courts, as well as dozens of other businesses; all of which are filled with busy people. The Joint covers all the go-​to lunch grub, and also features plenty of more healthy options — smoothies, salads, etc. We ordered wraps and salads for a lunch meeting, and were pleased with the helpfulness of the staff, and the quality of food — it didn’t knock our (hypothetical) socks off, but it was more than adequate. I noticed a eat-​in diner with a plate of chicken and waffles that looked great: I’m definitely getting that next time — so the Joint could earn another star. If this spot only offered wraps like the one we had, it’s probably a only 3-​star restaurant, but the novelty of the Weedman, as well as the intrigue of the other menu items, definitely gives them a bump to 4. I am totally going back!
Ed Forchion’s hope is to provide good food for good prices. He does do that. Most of the menu items are bargains at either $ 4.20 or $ 7.10 — both numbers are pot references.
Also full disclosure — I dislike reggae, but I am not deducting stars for that personal preference. Just mentioning it because you will get reggae, at a slightly louder-​than-​normal volume in this establishment. But it’s clean, and everyone is friendly, and concerned with customer satisfaction. One of the employees was mowing the lawn in the lot next to the restaurant — I believe this leads out to the Sanctuary. I do not need refuge or saving, but based on what I could see, it looks like a visually agreeable, relaxed place.
The Weedman’s Joint is definitely worth a visit!

No doubt, NJ Weedman and his Joint have a long and interesting story to tell, but that is best left for historians and devotees of the man.
Me? I was just looking for a cup of coffee after exiting Trenton City Hall across the street. And, I was successful. The small shop with the brightly painted van out front was empty when I entered, but I heard rustling in the back, and soon enough Weedy’s son came to see me to inquire of my desire. When all I wished for was hot coffee, he easily obliged by pointing me to the coffee corner where self service was the order of the day. What’s more, he asked if I was a government worker. No. I’m in private practice, but thanks for asking.
Never mind, then. You can have a free cup, too. His father believed in hospitality and graciousness to all, and he was continuing that generous tradition.
Felt a little guilt not ordering anything else to put some gelt in his cashbox, but I didn’t see anything within sight.
The coffee was very good (Jamaican Blue?), and stayed hot all day in my coach given our steaming weather.
My curiosity has the better of me. I want to go back and learn the Weedman’s story. Next time, over lunch.

Today is Seafood Sunday I had Clams over a bed of pasta from the menu which included a few seafood platters. All reasonably priced, The Staff very knowledgeable, respectful and thoughtful what a difference to some restaurants. I will be back.

Friendly, compassionate service and an upbeat atmosphere. Everything I’ve tasted has been delicious. Turkey burger with onions & peppers, shrimp pancakes, and the plantain breakfast bowl were great. Felt refreshing and nutritious, rather than heavy.
Cheers!

I LOVE this joint! Healthy fare at great prices. Very clean restaurant and very helpful staff. I had pancakes and eggs with fresh fruit. This is a cannabis friendly place which is helpful being a medical marijuana patient. I like the lounge/​spiritual retreat next door. There’s always something cool going on there. There’s even a radio show broadcasted from there every week! GREAT STUFF!
