Restaurants in Newark

“The best sour beer in Ohio!”

“Absolutely wonderful people that work here and an absolutely wonderful selection of wines. The wine selection was very unique everything from wonderful reds to jalapeño wines. Note: the jalapeño wine is not for the faint of heart.
The pizza and Panini’s were great, the thin crust was excellent.”

“Great bar and restaurant. Service was friendly and let us talk and visit with each other, we were not rushed. Relaxing atmosphere”

“we had to go to Columbus today and stopped at The Texas Roadhouse in Newark. The food was good, but BRADLEY was GREAT! HE WAS VERY POLITE AND TOOK GOOD CARE OF US! We will be back and definitely request your area!”

“My husband and I absolutely love this place, they treat you like family. The service is friendly, and the food is delicious. We both had grilled salmon dinners. The salmon was exceptional, we would highly recommend ordering it.”

“Buck's is a great, casual place to kick back and chill with delicious drinks and good company! The positive energy is contagious, with lots of fun board games to play and different food trucks that come each day. The staff is always chipper and ready to serve you when you come in. The establishment is always clean and fresh, with COVID regulations being followed well. Buck's definitely has a new regular now!”

“We drove from Columbus for our wedding anniversary and had a great experience at 1922: the steak was amazing, the prime rib ravioli was awesome, and our server, Ashley, was hospitable and made our anniversary dinner feel special. Worth the drive!”

“Definitely one of the best Pub atmosphere with phenomenal food. Pizza , Burgers , Onion Rings, Fresh Cut Fries and more”

“The best pizza in town! Not to mention the torpedo sub! Always amazing!”

“Great spot with delicious sweet treats. Even the pictures they post has my mouth watering”

“Overall this was a very enjoyable place to grab food and a large variety beer. I will say if you want a huge variety of beer from across the country, this place is a must visit! A range all all styles are represented on their tap menu. They also have space for private parties and very attentive staff that are quick to help with any questions.

I didn't really care for the fully wrapped glasses, takes away from my beer experience by looking at the beer appearance, but that just a personal preference. During my visit they only had 3 of their beers on tap which was a little disappointing, probably wouldn't come back just due to this.

Cheers everyone!”

“Great wood fired pizza and service.”

“Always wanted to go to one of these "fancy" ice cream shops and was so excited to find one in town! The bright colors and environment were so fun and made it even more exciting of an experience. Ice cream was pretty good too! Def recommend if you are looking for your next level ice cream desert experience!”

“Great food and excellent service”

“Great vibes and the biscuits and gravy make your soul Happy”

“I just tried a playa bowl for the first time and I’m honestly so impressed! I had the açaí base, several fruit toppings, Nutella, and granola. Seriously the best decision I could have made for lunch. It was delicious. The portion was much larger than I expected and I may order a kids next time. We’ll see. I asked for a side of Pita bread too, and that was the best pita bread I’ve ever had. 10/10 would recommend!! Support local business and eat here!”

“Tried it this morning had the sausage and gravy it was very good and the waitress was very nice and fast very nice diner plus the coffee is very good I will see myself going back there soon”

“I tell everyone, best Thai food in the area. I especially enjoy their Tom Ka Yum soup. I get ALL proteins available in my soup, except tofu. No heat. Delicious coconut based soup.”

“Awesome chiggin’ and awesome service! Their special house sauce was delicious. Will be going back!”

“Lucky Bamboo is one of our favorite places <3 I’ve sampled most things on their menu over the years, and the food is always good. The atmosphere is peaceful, the wait staff is helpful and friendly without being over solicitous, and the prices are quite reasonable. This is a good place to take visitors not only because the food is terrific but also because they have two main sections, the back one with a bar, and they can usually accommodate a slightly larger group by putting tables together while also having several booths along the outer walls (our favorite spots).
Try their Mala green beans with chicken if you like spicy hot Thai food, or the Mongolian beef.”

“I’m a day 1. From the farmers market till now. Love this place, basically a family member now 😁”

She is the nicest person I’ve ever met. They have wonderful food there I played a nice game of pool anyone Looking for a nice bar to have a drink and shoot a game of pool and meet some really nice people. Please come to the Newark hub bar on W. Church St. in Newark. It is a really nice place.”

“Thank you for carrying gluten free items in your pastry case! They were a life saver for my daughter who was on her way to a doctor appointment and forgot to grab breakfast.”

“I was born in Queens NY, and then moved to PA outside of Philly when I was around 9. The pizza from that was is just out of this world, and when I moved to Ohio I was so sad because honestly every place I’ve tried pizza I’ve been disappointed. I will note that I am also Italian so I’m a stickler about pizza 😂 On a whim yesterday My husband, kids and myself decided to give Christy’s a try. It was such a cozy atmosphere for starters. Every single thing we ordered was fresh hot and sooooooo tasty. There was a little bit of a mix up with my husbands calzone, but they made him a new one very fast and took care of us! He said it was absolutely delicious and he is a very picky man. The pizza was THE BEST PIZZA I have ever had in my 5 years of living in Ohio now. I honestly will never eat pizza from anywhere ever again, also very affordable prices! With every bite I just kept saying wow this is so good 😭 We will 100 percent be recommending to all our family and friends! Thank you so much!! You have earned forever customers”

“Great small bar that I really noticed that when you come in, the bar tenders are wonderful, especially Lisa. She really takes care of you
Great stop before you decide what to do with your life. Tattoo shop next door and I believe I'll get some ink, the TV show dead to me. Was a great show so I think that would be appropriate for my first ink.
The devil is in the Yogi as the carma Drs say. Life will tell. I believe in the Indians saying that ,he who fears death, cannot know life. Been me for 72 years,let's see how it goes....”

“Absolutely addicted to their beef gyros topped with fresh vegs and their strawberry watermelon iced tea super hooked! You're guaranteed to spend about $20 per person for a meal but the taste makes the expense well worth it 😋 I highly recommend everyone try their food at least once I doubt there'll be any regrets.”

“the best Mexican restaurant in town best workers in town A. plus”

“This is my go to coffee shop. Myself and many others in the community are regulars here. Highly recommend any of the frozen drinks they’re to die for!”

“Too Talls hands down has some of the best pizza in Newark Ohio 🫶🫶🫶”

“Ordered my sons graduation cake and it was delicious. Communication was great and price was very reasonable.”

“good food, great service.”

“We ate in the restaurant on our way home. Good food, good staff. Cute place. Friendly people.”

“New to the area so trying all the local spots. All I can say is, "Wow!" I ordered the Margarite. The pesto instead of regular sauce was off the charts. My husband had a what I'll call meat lover, he said it was the best pizza he ever had. Fresh ingredients make all the difference.”

“The day we were there the lobby where you order was completely full and there was only one person working. They quit making my wife's favorite a Sunday cone which I understand that most people don't even know what it is. And the lobby was really dirty I hope the rest of it wasn't. I've been going there for 40 plus years to that location whether he this is the original owner or not. Great location. Right by the ball field. Right across from the Y. There is no dine in at this location it's all take out other than that they do have a couple of picnic tables behind the building.”

“It was pretty busy when we stopped by and the line was very long with a single bartender, but he did great. The beer is always good here, and we enjoyed the session ale on offer.”

“Great fish fry and menu. Friendly staff with great prices.”

“I had not been in a TJs for literally years (at least 10) because the last meal I got was so full of grease that it made me nauseous. Tonight my husband had some friends who were dining at the TJs in Newark, OH and asked me if I wanted to go. I was hungry and didn’t feel like cooking so I said. “Well I don’t really like TJs but I’ll try it.” I was glad I did. My meal was good. The portions were great. The service was outstanding even though they were very busy. We got a military discount because my husband is a vet. I’ll definitely go back to the TJs in Newark on north 21st street.”

“The nicest people. They’re always super quick and happy to help ❤️❤️”

“We love their pizza and get at least one a week good stuff!”

“Excellent Italian sausage 😊”

“Friendly bartenders and pretty laid back.”

“Dirko’s provided outstanding assistance providing food for a local family. With a short notice. Their employee’s were extremely helpful and the pizzas were delicious. If you’ve not tried Dirko’s, give them a call. Thanks so much! Kim ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Lots of pool tables and bar games! Owners are good people!”

“Food is good, but not a sit-down, Dinner meal type of place. Sports bar atmosphere with many appetizers, sandwich, wrap, burger, items, and CHICKEN WINGS, their specialty. Great place to meet friends, rap, and watch sports on TV...LOUD. Kid friendly, with kids menu items. Service is excellent, prices reasonable.

Parking: Place is always busy, busier in late afternoon-evenings, so you usually have to cruise around to find a decent parking place unless you want to park a football field away.

Kid-friendliness: Roosters is kid friendly. They have a kids menu with some good menu options for kids.”

“Wonderful authentic Mexican!! 2 beers & dinner? $41 🥰”

“my boyfriend and I will for sure be eating here more often. we ordered the philly cheesesteak on doordash and it was PHENOMENAL. no complaints whatsoever everything was sooo good, food was warm when it arrived very pleasantly surprised”

“Great hometown loving atmosphere of all Licking County Schools and any other sports game on your docket! The bartenders and servers are top notch, A+…..serving any drink of your desire. My personal menu preferences and those I can personally recommend are: the salads! 🥗 I am not a commercial ranch fan, but their homemade ranch is superb. I usually “hate” ranch, but could drink this one straight! The pot roast sub, ham and cheese sub, and the Italian sub are fantastic and always reliable. I’ve also had the fish sandwich and it’s pretty darn tasty too. I know Don & Sue’s Pizza is known for the pizza 🍕….but don’t underestimate the wings. Love them. And the cheesey garlic bread and side of the authentic pizza sauce is my absolute FAVORITE. Can’t ever get away with starting with that! Enjoy!”

“The BEST club around! The best people running it, welcoming, awesome products and fast service!! Highly recommend ❤️”

“New to the area, so trying all the local spots. 2 weeks ago I ordered a tomato and mushroom. Crust was good and baked properly, but the canned tomatoes and mushrooms made it so bland, threw most of it away. My husband had a meat one, he said it was fine.”

“I live in Mount Vernon Ohio and I drive all the way to North just to get their Pizza. Their Pizza is completely covered in pepperoni and cooked to a crispy perfection. We finally got a Pizza Cottage in Mount Vernon where I am from in the service is horrible as you can see on the reviews I live 10 minutes from Mount Vernon Pizza Cottage I ordered a pizza they told me it would be ready in 20 minutes this is when they very first opened at 11:00 in the morning. I got there within 10 minutes was very surprised that my pizza was ready. When they handed me the Box through the window I found it odd that it was cold. When I got home the pizza was cold as though it had been refrigerated overnight and they didn't even take the time to reheat it it just gave it to me as a cold leftover from last night I'm not joking it was literally refrigerated cold the pizza crust was super rubbery from being stored in the refrigerator. The customer service there is appalling. I will continue to drive to Newark from Mount Vernon to get the greatest Pizza in the world from that Pizza Cottage. Even by the time I get home from there my pizza was hotter than it was from Mount Vernon where I lived 10 minutes away nor have I ever been given cold leftover night pizza from Pizza Cottage of Newark. I would recommend them a thousand times over great customer service very clean restaurant great food always. Mount Vernon is the worst I would never recommend it to anybody not with their childish behavior on the inside nor their cold leftover pizza they didn't even bother to heat up before giving it to me when they first opened. Hopefully it closes down before it gets Pizza Cottage a bad name”

“Absolutely love the pizza and salads. our delivery orders always arrive quickly and are piping hot. We even got a surprise upgrade with our order tonight. My family and I highly reccomend.”

“What an amazing first time here! Laid back bar and restaurant. Kinda reminds me of a 50s style bar. Unfortunately no TVs. But have a good jukebox and lots of things to check out on the walls. Had the benji burger and it was fire. I give this place a 5 ⭐️ Oh and the beer 💯”

“Good and hot 5yrs ago I reviewed..but just the other day in a semi truck ..lobby closed but staff was greatfully willing to serve me as a walk up to the window and gave me zero sh?t and let me order on foot. I'm greatfull for Marcos( I hope I got your name right) he was awesome and reassured me he would serve me even though they were understaffed and had to close the dining room. As a truck driver I knew I could fit in the street to park to go there ... I was so bummed the dinning room was closed but he still made a great sandwich and made my day after dealing with daily selfish drivers on the road. Any trucks rolling 16 in Granville Ohio hit up this Arby's. Even full sleepers can get spun around and walk over. And you don't have to pay truck stop prices...?♥️?????”

“No issues to complain about. Really good service from the bartender- Squirt. The owner is really nice too - Scooter. Went in with ny brothers and some friends to have a littls night out and pmay some pool.”

“Owners are there and they care about you.They always say hello, bloody marys are off the hook big and plenty of Tvs. nice "normal" place. i will stop in again.”

“Overall the food is great and a great value. I only have on complaint. I love collard greens. Their's I extremely salty. I've had it three times thinking it was a one time thing. This time it was not edible.”

“Best chicken place in town. The only place that still serves livers. Better bone-in chicken than KFC. Better chicken fingers than Raising Cane’s. They don’t require mystery sauce to taste good.”

“Been going to changs for at least 20 years. have never been disappointed. the food is always fresh, hot, and delicious, prices are fair. portions are excellent.”

“the food and the people are awesome”

“great food for inexpensive price.”

“Its not easy being GF.. Most people don't care to accommodate your allergy.. BUT shout out to the Newark, Ohio Jimmy John's! The staff is so awesome there, they go to extremes to accommodate my allergy and Even have my usual order ready when they see me pull in, before i even get in the door! Appreciate them sooo much! Thank you for your kindness! #jimmyjohns#freakyfast”

“Love the food and the small town vibe! Great pizza. Always recommend the Twisted Twins BBQ”

“Delicious food. I stop anytime I'm in town.”

“Can not wait to come back and order again. The staff was great, the food was amazing and everything is super clean. Totally impressed and will be telling all our friends to check it out !”

“The price went up to much now”

“We're still in Ohio on our travels. Craving fish and chips. This place did not disappoint. Two huge slices of fish. Coleslaw was awesome. Just a nice feel good place. Place was clean. Staff was welcoming and friendly. Christine our server was great. Will be back there before we leave out of Ohio.”

“The team at the Donatos, under the leadership of Brian, did an incredible job preparing pizzas for our recent large catering order. We could not be more impressed. He was easy, quick and concise with all the communication leading up to the event. When we arrived to pick it up, all the pizzas were ready, fresh and hot, with easy boxes for transporting as well as plates and napkins. We could not recommend them enough, and had an easy Friday night thanks to their hard work.”

“Love their chef salads and boneless barbecue wings. And I love the fact they stay open until 4am. When every one else in this town has closed before 11pm, they dear to be different and stay open all night . Thanks for caring enough about us third shifters so we have some where to grab a meal on are way home from work.”

“Excellent Pizza 🍕 Good fast delivery!YAY I didn't have to cook dinner! With a 50% Off WITH Vip CERTIFICATE... Thanks for the certificate I got in the mail. Two XL pizzas for the one price!🍕”

“Fodd was excellent!
Our order taker was the best..She made sure that we get our ice cream in out meal deal when we leave ..We love the cleanliness and good atmosphere here!!”

“Been there a couple of times but today I tried the Ruben for the first time. I am going to say something very bold…. It was the best Ruben I have ever had. I’ve had Slyman’s and this was better than Slyman’s.”

“We go out of our way 35 minutes from where we live at to visit this one that gives you so much more food than our local 1 does the grilled chicken look so much better bigger fatter pieces and they've never messed up on our order at this place. Tonight I want to thank the manager for fixing an error. I had put in an online order this afternoon called to change the pick up time to 4pm. got there and It wasn't ready someone overlooked the order. but the manager fixed it ...we got home our order was perfectly done. thank you! I highly recommend this location”

“Everything was good. We had a large group. Restaurant was empty but still took a little longer than expected to get food and then I had to ask for our check. Pancakes are much smaller than they used to be, but that seems to be at all Bob Evans restaurants.”
