I stopped in for a weekday dinner, and overall it was a good experience. Since it wasn't busy, the parking situation was perfectly fine and we were seated quickly at a comfortable booth. The food came out fast, which was great. The pizza was decent, and I ordered the meatball sub, which was good and satisfying. It's a nice spot overall, relaxed and easy for a casual dinner. Nothing stood out as a major downside on this visit--just a straightforward, pleasant meal with quick service and solid food. read more

If you're looking for a spot that consistently hits the mark on both flavor and atmosphere, Elliot's Wood Fired Kitchen & Tap is a must-visit. Whether it's a mid-week dinner or a weekend hangout, they managed to nail the "elevated neighborhood gem" vibe perfectly. The Food The star of the show is undoubtedly the wood-fired pizza. You can taste the authenticity in the crust--perfectly charred with that signature smoky finish you can only get from a real wood oven. The toppings are fresh, and the balance of flavors shows they aren't just making pizza; they're perfecting it. On the lighter (but equally delicious) side, the fish tacos are a standout. It's rare to find a wood-fired joint that treats seafood with this much respect. The fish is always flaky and fresh, complemented by bright, crisp toppings that make for a perfect contrast to the rich, smoky pizzas. The Service What truly sets Elliot's apart, though, is the bar staff. The service here is consistently top-notch. The team is incredibly knowledgeable--whether you're looking for a specific craft beer pairing or a recommendation from their cocktail list, they know the menu inside and out. It's the kind of place where the staff makes you feel like a regular from your very first visit. Final Verdict: Excellent food, a great tap list, and a team that actually knows their stuff. Elliot's is easily a 5-star experience. read more

The charming original Elliot's was quick to seat us and provide us with our food. We enjoyed their crisp fish sandwich with delightful Carmel dipping sauce for the sweet potato fries. The pretzels were crisp and had a generous serving of beer cheese included. The tacos were spicy and fresh with a spectacular blend of flavors. The French onion soup was fine as well. The restaurant was charming with its tin roof and well thought out interior. read more

We popped in on a rainy Saturday and were seated immediately. It's a small restaurant with a lot of bar seating, but we were able to sit at a high top. They have a huge pizza kiln in the back which added a lot of character to the place. Our waitress came over at the perfect instant when we had decided what to order. We were nervous when she didn't write anything down but she went right over and typed it all in and our food was correct. We both ordered cheeseburgers and fries, with hot wings for an appetizer. The food was amazing!! The wings were of good size and very well seasoned, and our burgers and fries were perfection. But the best part above all was the service. It's so rare these days to get quality service in a restaurant but our waitress was terrific. We'll go back again when we're in town just because of her! read more

Everything was fabulous! The service was so lovely- I wish I recalled our server's name. Cheese curds, pizza- top notch. Would return anytime. read more

I had been here before with a coworker as it's located halfway between where we live. We work from home and she's about a total of a 30 minute drive from me. I had such a good lunch at that time, I said I wanted to bring my husband there. Flash forward many months and I had totally forgot about this place as an option for dinner. Fortunately, I saw my coworker at a training and she asked if I had returned. Within a couple weeks, I returned with my husband. We came for dinner and were seated right away. The restaurant has an extensive menu but I believe I ordered the same thing. Hubby went with a pizza and I got a salad. Our food came out in a timely manner and was prepared just as we ordered. Our server was prompt and attentive and kept our drinks filled. Both our meals were excellent. My husband was as impressed as I had previously been. We will definitely keep this on our radar. As I mentioned, there are other menu options we would look to try - and maybe I'll actually order something different next time. read more

I love going to Elliot's . The place always feels fun and cozy buzzing with happy patrons. I always get the best servers but Taylor is my fav!!! She's just exceptional and pleasant, always happy to help and give excellent service. The food that I can eat is always yummy. Being vegan there aren't many options but it's okay . My pizza is always yummy. read more

This is an other perfect service place in America! Thank you Emily, how nice you were! . I wish order pizza here but we had yesterday and we wanted some thing different . The idea of fried rice and one protein is really good. But the taste not perfect as idea. It was ok. . I like French soup. This was ok. The presentation very good but test wasn't what I expect. It must be thicker I think. Aaand my favorite thing was shishito peppers! It was perfect! OMG, you have to try. Very Turkish style. We serve this in Turkiye with tomato sauce and yogurt. I can give you recipes if you want. We put tomato sauce on top and the yogurt on to tomato sauce or vice versa. I add a photo to show you. But you need nice bread if you eat this:) read more

Great food, atmosphere, and service. Highly recommend the shishito peppers, and Taylor provides great service!

We were here in a Sunday for early lunch. We walked in right after they opened at 11am. There are already people sitting at the bar. It tells me this is a popular place in town! We got hummus appetizer, they came in a large plate with all kinds of veggie and pitta bread. The bread is warm and crispy on the bottom and chewy and very nice. I ordered their shrimp and fish taco, wow, those taco is just melting in your mouth, with so much flavor and texture. It's the best taco i ever tasted after Cozumel Mexico! Husband ordered the pizza with ingredients picked by him. I tasted one slice, it's super good! I think this is a super nice restaurant if you are in the area! read more

I discovered this place just off the square in downtown Newark and was absolutely thrilled with the quality, ambience and service. I was in town to attend a concert at the Midland theater and searched for a perfect spot to relax before the event. Boy did this place hit a home run! Inside tables were full but, no worries, a delightful table just outside was ready and waiting. I started off with a refreshing beer Giddy Up! from the taproom. A very light and satisfying cream ale with notes of fruit and coffee. For dinner I went with their Steakhouse salad. This was no wimpy salad with some meat thrown up top - this thing was a meal in a bowl. Mixed spring greens, a very nice vinaigrette dressing on the side, blue cheese crumbles, tangy shaved parmesan, and plenty of well-cooked sirloin steak strips. Perfection! My server was very friendly and attentive. Others dining outside were also concert bound which made for an enjoyable evening of dinner al fresco. Rarely have I been blown away by a place, but I found Elliot's to be an absolute gem. Highly recommended and well worth what was a 45-minute drive for me. As Arnold would say "I'll be back". read more

I visited with a colleague and customers. We chose Elliot's based on the great Yelp reviews. Those great reviews are spot on regarding the food and service. The venue isn't very big and our party of 4 had a 15 minute wait until a booth opened up. They have some really good craft beers on draft and sports on the TV's behind the bar. The bar maid became our server as well. She was a bit overwhelmed, but it was understandable since the place was very busy. We started out with appetizers ordering wings and cheese curds. We were starving at the time so we also ordered their meat lovers pizza as well as a vegetable pizza. The crust was very tasty and crisp. If deciding between the 2 pizzas, the one with the meat toppings wins. read more

Elliot's is a great place in downtown Newark. Food was great, nice bar seating and selection. Nice atmosphere and great service.

Went for lunch recently. Based on the pics of the pizza online and the fact that they were cut in triangles we were really looking forward to some East Coast style pizza. We ordered 2 pizzas expecting to have leftovers, but when they brought the food to our table I almost busted out laughing. The size of the pizza is about the size of a dinner plate and on average each pizza is about $14. The crust was not cooked well and overall the pizza was just fair, maybe a step above something you could get in the freezer section at the grocery store. The service however was excellent. Our waitress was very friendly and efficient. She checked in multiple times and the food arrived quickly. Very disappointing and will not be going back. read more

Waited for just a few minutes to sit on a busy Saturday afternoon around 2:00 p.m. No kids menu per say it, but a crowd favorite of pizza. Woodfired crust is just chewy and crispy enough for my kiddos. Good amount of toppings, nice flavors. I ordered a meatball sub side salad. The salad is just iceberg and mozzarella cheese, asked for house vinaigrette on the side. Great dressing a lot like Greek vinaigrette. Sriracha honey brussel sprouts -it really just need to be chunked further, large slices not well unless then fairly "rare" with a lot of crunch. Great spot, comfortable, great service, will definitely visit here again when in town. read more

They served my underage granddaughter alcohol. Not just one drink either. I did call and discuss it with them but the person her served her was on vacation so I don't know if it was dealt with. read more

What a fun place! We were seated promptly and warmly welcomed by Patrice, our server. Their full bar and about 20 beers on tap make it easy to find a beverage you enjoy. If you're a bourbon fan, definitely try their Black Walnut Old Fashioned. It's a good one! We enjoyed their Brussel sprouts, meatballs, cheese pizza and meatball sandwich. All were generous servings that were delicious. Wish we lived in Newark so we could visit this establishment on a regular basis. Good service. Good food. Good value. Cheers! read more

A large group of parents and athletes walked away very pleased with Elliott's Wood Fire. Our group of 12 had issues with being able to locate dining and Elliott's pulled through with awesome fast customer service just before closing. Oh and the pies and salads were delicious too! It wasn't pretty but we agreed to get smashed in a booth and table to make it work for dinner around 35 minutes before close. Bless them for agreeing on our groups last night after the final day of swim competition. The restaurant on a Saturday night was packed at around 930 P The location in downtown Newark a block from the courthouse is in a old two story building. The town is so quaint that you can't help but love it. Parking is off street and free. Our super waiter had menus and waters out before we even asked. No pressure to order quickly but as parents we told the athletes to hurry. So orders placed for various pizzas, tacos and salads. We told the waiter one check to have no worries over the bill and expedite service. Our party was seated next to the kitchen in eye view of the wood fire stove. So we could see our masterpieces being made because we were the last orders of the night. The hustle was on to satisfy eight hungry swimmers. Within 5 minutes those with salad orders hit the table. About 10 minutes later beautiful looking pizzas were flowing out. Drink refills were performed. Everyone agreed on excellent taste and quality offerings and was extremely pleased at the expediting of our dinner. The pizza was the hero. Thank you to the staff at Elliott's from the Washu Swim team and parents we are grateful. Hope to see you again next season. read more

Feb. 28, 2024. I had lunch with my brother and his wife today and we all three had the Pick 2 lunch combos and they were delicious! Personally I had 1/2 meatball sub and French onion soup. They each had a salad and a 1/2 sandwich and they were great. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. Can't wait to go back again. What a great place to eat! : read more

Yummy stuff here and a great first experience at Elliot's. My family visited while in town and we enjoyed the outdoor seating. Despite being on the sidewalk right next to the road, it wasn't loud and we didn't feel packed in with the tables next to us. We started with the fried mushrooms--portobellos were a surprising choice, but they tasted nice and meaty, and the horseradish dip was a delicious pairing. My partner got a chicken parm sandwich, which he really enjoyed. He said the breaded chicken and sauce were delicious together. The rest of us--three others--shared two pizzas: the veggie and the classic. Both were simple yet well-made and well-topped. After the appetizer, two pizzas was a good amount to share between the three of us, but I'm imagine if we only had the pizza that we'd have preferred one each. Overall, I'd definitely come back here and would recommend it to others. read more

Smaller location, but surprisingly fits a lot more people than one might think. It is definitely hot inside, of course due to the wood fired oven. Service was good as we sat at the bar. Bartender did a nice job and was friendly. I know this is picky, but I found it odd that they allowed a bartender to wear a shirt from a completely different restaurant in which we visited as well. Pizza was honestly average. For a wood fired pizza, I expect lots of crisp, but mine was almost mushy. Kind of felt as though they forced it through the oven too fast. Another had a meatball sub and said it was done very well. Price wise, I felt like it was on par with what I have seen at similar places, so not a worry here. read more

This is a great little gem in the heart of downtown Newark. The ambiance is casual in a Newark meets the short north type of way. The wood fired pizza is the standout on the menu. I get it every time and I've never been disappointed. I'll add pizza pics during my next stop I'll be back over and over again when I'm in Newark. I think it's the best pie in the town. read more

We had lunch at Elliot's a couple days ago. We discovered Elliot's a couple years ago and have eaten here several times. The meals have always been very good and the service friendly with polite, knowledgeable wait staff. On this recent outing my wife had their smash burger with fries and I had the Rueben. Both sandwiches were expertly prepared within a reasonable wait from ordering to food served hot from the kitchen. Both our meals were delicious! Our server checked in several times after our food arrived first to see if we were happy with our order and the taste and then a few more quick visits to see if we needed anything. They were attentive without being annoying; a welcomed detail. A view of their wood fired oven can be seen from most tables as is the kitchen and prep area. The inside is open with higher ceilings and there's a nice selection of roomy tables, booths, high top tables, and bar seats giving many choices for seating. On past visits we have tried their wood fired pizza, the Italian Sub, and fish tacos. All of our meals have been beyond good. Elliot's is on our restaurant rotation as a favorite dining destination with great food, fast, friendly service, and reasonable prices making it a solid home run! read more

My wife and I had lunch here last week. Service prompt and efficient despite busy lunch hour. I had the meatball sub and southwest slaw. Very good sandwich.having lived and still vacation on the east coast I have eaten a lot of meatball subs. The quality of the meatballs and seasoning was spot on. One note I wish the sub roll had a little more body and some crust to it. The slaw was crispy and I loved the heat in the dressing. My wife who is a b.it of a burger fiend has found a new smash burger favorite. It was gone before my sub. All around enjoyable time and a very good lunch. We will be back. read more

WOW! Amazing food & great staff! We were in town last night for the Night Ranger concert & we walked over from our hotel for a late lunch before the show. Sat at the bar- bartender was super friendly & efficient (her name escapes me - blonde young woman) I had fried ravioli for my app & my husband had the portobello mushrooms app. We shared the Dre pizza-absolutely delicious!!! We are wood fired pizza snobs & this was one of the best we've ever had! Great bunch of people sitting at the bar as well. Next time we are in town we will be back!

I stopped into Eliot's with my wife on a Tuesday around 1:30 for a late lunch. The place was cozy and well appointed, and we grabbed a booth near the wood fire oven. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was friendly. We each had a drink and a pizza. Everything was good, and the pizza was not too bad - not the best, but nothing to be ashamed of either. A strong 4 out of 5. read more

Local restaurant that is a favorite of some interesting locals. There must be a mental health facility with an open door on the same block or something, because I've been here about 10 times and probably 8 of those times someone with profound issues has been somewhere in the bar. I have had the pleasure of sitting beside a guy who though he was a pirate (complete with an eye patch and treasure map), A guy who was having the funniest conversation with himself while adjusting his junk the entire time, and the best was the guy who smelled like his job was dead opossum smuggler. The staff seem blissfully unaware that anything strange is going on, so kudos to them. You're probably going to want a beer or two to smooth out your visit. read more
