Restaurants in Newark

“Whitney was great and very attentive.”

“Ole Tapas has come to our event for two years in a row and they are definitely a favorite. The food is always prepared to perfection and the staff is always so kind and professional. I personally always recommend the street tacos. We are so grateful for the hard workers over at Ole Tapas.”

“I came to Metro Diner this morning off the humbug. I was starving & was craving some chicken & waffles from somewhere close in the area. Surprisingly the chicken was very seasoned and crispy. The waffles were also very tasty and soft. The strawberry butter mixed with their signature hot sauce was also pretty good. Alicia was my server. She was such a doll :) Her knowledge of the menu is impeccable and she took very good care of me. If you are in the Newark area and would like some tasty and quick diner food, go there & ask for Alicia <3 Thanks Alicia will be there again real soon !”

“Yummy. Breakfast so good,”

“Every time i come in for a DoorDash order, there never seems to be enough workers, and the girl putting the order together always has an adittiude and moves at her own pace, which is slow as hell.”

“had original sandwhich mild and mac. amazing!”

“Been coming to this place ever since they’ve opened up. They have the best banh mi I’ve had since I moved closer to Delaware. If you love some good cracking pork in your banh mi. You should look into the fire cracker banh mi cause it’s amazing. My experience with the staff has always been amazing since they’re all are so kind and friendly.”

“One of my new favorite spots in Delaware for casual dining and cocktails. Great fresh cooked healthy and tasty food at a very reasonable price. And they can bring the heat. Super nice and attentive staff as well. Don't miss out on this best kept Delaware secret right off Route 95!”

“We stop in once a week. Sometimes we eat there and sometimes we call and pick up. The atmosphere is fabulous. If we ever do have to wait for our food, it’s totally worth it. If my husband and I are together we sit and have wine while we wait. They are all very friendly! If we get take out, we always get extra so we can have leftovers, which are always delicious. We reheat the pizza in the toaster oven, it’s amazing. We also love the desserts there! It’s just a great spot and we love it! I’ve never once been disappointed with any of their service or food.”

“I love the boba here.I definitely recommend the coconut bubble tea. I know it sounds bad but please try it.”

“Great food and desserts! Strawberry shortcake is amazing!”

“We had an amazing meal - chicken Pad Thai, shrimp lo mein, orange chicken, and fried dumplings. I can't wait to go back! The restaurant was spotless, quiet, and very comfortable. the service was excellent - very friendly!”

“Amazing service! The brisket and Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious! Their brisket cheese fries were out of this world, the cheese sauce was so flavorful! & their collard greens are perfectly made! The cornbread is sweet and moist! If you are in Delaware you MUST check this place out! Thank you Smok'd BBQ!! We will absolutely be back!”

“Had lunch with a friend there last week and was very satisfied with everything. I have been to Istanbul, Turkey many times and it was as good as being there, they even made a special bread called balloon bread for me. 👍 from me”

“Great series, friendly staff, food was delicious and served quickly”

“Beautiful 😻 Place to have lunch with friends and family”

“Kiara, was amazing! The attentiveness, friendliness, and overall customer service was above and beyond!! I wish I could have her at each restaurant I dine at. The food was very tasty as well!!”

“Great food and atmosphere!!”

“I've been there four times, 2x Lunch, 2x Dinner. Food, Ambiance, Service, each somewhere between Very Good and Excellent.”

“First time trying this place and it was amazing! We had a friendly, attentive server. He checked in with us many times, refilling our drinks and chatting with us. The garlic bread, salad and Pizza was absolutely amazing!! Can’t wait to go back again.”

“We were visiting Newark for a furry convention nearby and my partner and I got stuck in a random hailstorm on our way to Chipotle down the street. We took cover in Home Grown and found out it's got a large selection of vegan selections, which was a surprise! We took the opportunity for a date and our server, Dana, was wonderful. They introduced us to the restaurant and gave us an overview of the menu, specials, and their favorite drink. We ended up ordering the Maple Barbecue seitan wings, the casserole style loaded fries, the seitan birria tacos, the winter mac, and Dana's favorite drink, the Bird by Bird. The drink was amazing and a perfect choice with all of the food being incredible. I wish there was one near where we live. What an absolutely wonderful date.”

“The sushi is always fresh. The staff is very friendly & attentive. Food is served swiftly & accurately. The owners are usually always present. Busting their humps making sure they are best sushi restaurant around! We love y’all! Sasha & Edward Try anything served here. You won’t be disappointed. ❤️”

“We decided to go to dinner at Firebirds. I had been once and was not impressed; however my husband had never been there. I have to say the food was good. Cooked exactly the way we wanted. The only draw back we had is the portions of food that you receive for the price that you pay. We felt like we were robbed. We don’t over eat so when I say we had small portions, we really had small portions. The dessert was even small portions for the price that you’re required to pay. The five very thin layers of lemon cake were good but the slice was very thin for $10.25. Out bill was $76.30 for two and I would have no problem if we had an appetizer and alcoholic drinks but there was none of that because we don’t drink. We each had a soda because the lemonade was too tart. The server was very pleasant and on time with everything. We tipped her well as we should have. Not sure I can return there. A little more light would be appreciated if I did return.”

“I love this place! Impressive array of very fresh ingredients for tasty sushi bowls and burritos, including hearty options for vegans like edamame, peanuts, and avocado, plus about 20 fresh plant mix-ins and toppings.”

“Outstanding dining experience. Delicious food & wonderful atmosphere.”

“Had a retirement dinner party at Brio last night. My experience planning with Christine, the Regional Sales Manager and with Miranda, one of the Managers at Brio was beyond my expectations. They were both a pleasure to work with. Miranda did a great job preparing the room and was available with her charming smile everytime we needed her! Our servers; Lawrence, Sofia and Erin were just as wonderful! Shoutout to Erin for helping me connect Smartview with the TV when we had a technical glich!! If you need to plan a party and need a private room for 50 people or less, with delish food, drinks that are not watered down, and great customer service, I highly recommend Brio!!”

“We have a great meal everytime we go it’s our celebration place!”

“Endless Shrimps was delicious. My grandson loved it. The waiter was extremely nice”

“Tonight’s visit was very nice. Our server made our meal enjoyable. Prompt, professional and she enjoyed our cheese jokes. Thank you for a wonderful dinner”

“Can’t go wrong and close to UD.”

“Great menu options. Always fresh and delicious. Great service too.”

“1/1/25- The server Sarah and the grill cook Angela were amazing and so welcoming! They acted like real people, and not the standard run of the mill servers. Both women were working their you-know-whats off.

4/2/25- The server Pam was incredible and hard working! Second time here, and still have yet to be disappointed! The people who work here are always extremely welcoming!

5/29/25- Still amazing! Two hard working women with a full house! Riley and Jackie did an awesome job!”

“Very helpful and friendly plus very good cheeseburger!💕”

“i would usually have given 1-2 stars for the service, as almost every order of mine is screwed up(i do usually customize my order) but the shorter hispanic mgr always makes it right. She's great- other mgrs OK but shes the”

“I settled into my seat for a grueling four-plus-hour bus ride, and within the first hour, a fierce thirst hit me hard. It’s wild how intense it gets when you’re stuck on a bus with no stops until near the end. Finally, we pulled over for a quick 10-minute break, and I spotted a Burger King nearby. Inside, a lone employee was hustling behind the counter, powering through his shift without a hint of complaint.

Desperate to quench my thirst, I approached him to buy a small drink. My jaw dropped when he said a small cup was nearly five bucks. Stunned, I asked about water instead—turns out, even that had a price tag. Sensing my reluctance, the cashier paused, then kindly offered me a courtesy cup. That small gesture hit me right in the chest.

I darted to the fountain, filled the cup with ice-cold water, and chugged it down—pure relief washing over me. Grateful, I returned to the counter, asked for his name, and promised him a glowing review. It felt like the least I could do for his generosity.

So, thank you, Joe, for being a bright spot in the middle of my long night. I hope someday you get the same kind of help when you need it. Looking forward to crossing paths again next month”

“sausage mcbuscuit was great and sausage burriti”

“I’m not usually hanging out in the area, but I needed to get my car windshield replaced yesterday and had to run a long zoom meeting afterwards. So I needed somewhere to camp out afterwards since I wouldn’t make it back home to wilmington in time. I stumbled upon this place in my “coffee shops” map search. Everyone working was very kind, and the drink + bagel i had were both so good that I felt compelled to actually write this FB review. I have been mourning the loss of my favorite wilmington boba spot (it sounds dramatic but I am serious, the others just aren’t the same) so am so glad to have found a good one, even if it’s a little bit of a hike.”

“Alli,Sadie,Emily,Abby,Sean & Nick are the best”

“They give you a lot of food. The brother that helped us was nice as I could hear him talking to my husband and trying to ensure he had some free tea as we waited for our food.

I didn't see any restroom in the waiting/ dining area,but when my husband needed to use the bathroom, they allowed him to use theirs on the back, which was nice”

“The people who work there are so nice! They also put the right proportion of toppings on my bowl every time. Food is fresh, yummy, and good for you. Fav cava location!”

“My wife and I enjoyed a great meal this evening at Pinang Asian Cuisine. The flavors were wonderful. The service was excellent, friendly and prompt. The atmosphere in the dining area was pleasant aesthetically with music to match. Definite 5 stars.”

“I’ve ordered twice from Suya House. The first time I ordered the jollof and chicken and the second time I ordered the jollof and suya. I was impressed both times. Will definitely order again as I miss my mum’s Nigerian cooking and this is a great replacement. Great job suya house! Would love it if you added fried plantain sometime in the future 😛”

“Damon is a genuine person! Very knowledgeable and good at his Job! To-Go is fantastic and the food is great!”

Hope we see you and your friends again, Vanessa! - Jim & Laurel Lambert”

“We stopped in to Two Stones Pub at Kennett Sq after visiting Longwood Gardens. What a wonderful experience! The service was friendly and helpful and the food and craft beers were exceptional! The mushroom soup was the best we've ever had. Wish you had a location in Ft Myers FL!!! Thanks again!”

“Enjoyed my birthday tonight with family and friends. Grew up in Newark and have never eaten here. It did not disappoint. Love the history and the ambience. Our waitress, Piper was phenomenal, .... friendly, accommodating, and very attentive. The food was perfectly portioned and all tasted great. The soft pretzel was wonderful. The Brussel Sprouts was excellent and the short ribs were tender and flavorful. The apple cider mule was a perfect drink to top it all off.”

“This is the best cheese steak in Delaware! The family that runs the place is so friendly, they really make you feel at home. Delivery is always speedy. Advice: look at the WHOLE menu. They offer a lot!”

“Drove pass this place so many times until my brother said his friend works here then I finally tried it which I wasn’t disappointed.

This is a mom n pop type of food spot so you have a variety of snacks, drinks, desserts, and hot or cold foods. Had a hard time choosing something cause the menu so large.

My reuben sandwich was good and flavorful and I got some onion rings which are thick cut, beer battered very good and even better paired with some blue cheese.

I will be back based off my food cause I enjoyed. Definitely will be 1 of my frequent spots.”

“We are Vietnamese and had food for our family event catered by Pho Ever last Saturday. The owner was easy to work with when placing the order and was flexible when I added to the order a few days before the event. The charcoal grilled chicken was perfectly seasoned, very tender and delicious. The charcoal really gave it that authentic smoky flavor and my family raved about it. They even threw in some free veggie spring rolls which were delicate and delicious. Everything was ready on time and everyone was very kind when my husband came to pick it up. Would highly recommend Pho Ever if you need catering and would recommend this dish in particular. They do an excellent job and its authentic!”

“Ate here several times and have enjoyed the food. Though since opening....service at tables seems a bit slow here and there. Can't review alcoholic drinks because I don't drink.Recently I ordered pick up. Upon the return time they gave me... It took about a 20 minute wait for someone to come to the front to assist me with my pick up . They gave me a receipt but not my debit card back. Partly my fault to realize this.....but their fault too...this is the 2nd time that happened to me at pick up.. I think maybe a bell would work at the front desk to get someone's attention.i even stood at the bar for 5 minutes but no one came out.for awhile.. all in all I will probably return here be a use thw food I've had has been delicious each time....I recommend the shrimp quesidilas and I love their rice. However I think that their customer service really needs attention. They gave me a menu. I ordered pick up and they said 15 to 20 minutes....once arriving to pick up I waited about 15 to 20 minutes for someone e to come to the front to get the food.”

“I LOVE the Brookside Country Maid!!! BEST subs I've had! And great service too :D”

“Cheddar’s is pretty good. I don’t believe the food to be anything to write home about but it’ll do the job. Service is always friendly and attentive. The cheese bites are very tasty though.”

“I stopped by Raising Cane's yesterday and was pleasantly surprised by how simple, yet satisfying the experience was. The menu is straightforward, focusing mainly on chicken fingers, which were incredibly crispy and tender. The Cane’s sauce definitely lives up to the hype—tangy with just the right amount of kick. Even the crinkle-cut fries were hot and perfectly seasoned.

The staff were friendly and kept the place clean, which made dining in a nice experience. My only critique would be that the options are a bit limited, so if you’re looking for variety, you won’t find much beyond the core items. But if you’re craving consistently good chicken fingers, it’s hard to go wrong here.”

“Yummy. Breakfast so good,”

“Every time i come in for a DoorDash order, there never seems to be enough workers, and the girl putting the order together always has an adittiude and moves at her own pace, which is slow as hell.”

“Great menu options. Always fresh and delicious. Great service too.”

“The food is amazing! I ordered the fried broccoli and the chicken burro. My wife ordered the beef burro and a side grilled mango avocado. Both got the jambalaya on sid with burro. We were just amazed with everything. The service is always great! They all wear white coats and action very professional. I highly recommend with this place. The atmosphere is very cool Southern cajun small town vibe.”

“I got Mirchi ka Salan Chicken Pulav…it is awesome. I went to some Indian restaurants in Dallas, it is Equal to those places. I strongly suggest Weekend Special “Mirchi ka Salan Chicken Pulav”.”

“We’re frequent customers at the Montvale, New Jersey, store, but this was our first visit to the Christiana (Delaware) First Watch. Spectacular food and spectacular hospitality from our server, Vanessa! I always get the ‘Traditional’ breakfast and a blueberry pancake. So yummy! My wife loved her ‘Farmhouse Skillet Scramble’! Hope we see you and your friends again, Vanessa! - Jim & Laurel Lambert”
