    Very good as a lunch place. They're still undergoing renovations so a few things aren't up, like the bar, but that doesn't affect the quality of the food one bit. The sandwiches are excellent, and the owner gave us individual attention the entire time. Would like to come back to try more!

    Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

    Delicious!! My daughter got the chicken fettuccine and I got the grilled vegetable salad with chicken. Both were perfectly flavored. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others to try!

    Location: 3/5 Resa Grill is a hidden gem tucked away on Locke Street by automotive and parking spaces. It's very quaint, no parking, and barely any inside seating (however there were chairs outside). It looks like a cozy little shack as you approach it. Beware- the deck in front of the entrance can get very slippery after it rains. Food: 4.75/5 I got the acclaimed Vermont Rooster. It did NOT disappoint. The chicken is juicy and tender, and seasoned well. They made a fried chicken sandwich NOT seem heavy, which is remarkable. They add maple, bacon and pickles so there's a beautiful meld of flavors- salty, sweet and acidic to cut the fat. It comes with thick-cut fries, generously seasoned with salt and pepper. It's obvious a chef made this burger. It's not your typical, run-of-the-mill, diner burger. It also comes with a very quaint pasta salad. For $10, I'm pretty happy with my meal and I'd probably go again. Heads up: wait time is 20 mins so def call well in advance before you pick up your food. Good hole-in-the-wall American restaurant for nearby Newarkians. #supportlocalbusinesses

    New Orleans Sandwich (Fried Talapia)

    My first time coming here and was not disappointed at all. It's small little restaurant in the cut, but the owner was hospitable and welcoming. The New Orleans sandwich was delicious. I plan to come back to try the pizza and burgers!

    Turkey sandwich with a side of fries and salad, to-go

    My friend and I came here on a rainy Saturday night after studying at NJIT campus. This place is small, but the owner is extremely pleasant and made sure we loved our food. It has a cute homey feel with outdoor seating as well (which would be great for the summer time!) I ordered a turkey sandwich which came with a side of pasta and fries, and my friend ordered penna al vodka with shrimp. It was all very delicious and we were both satisfied. We were ordering to-go, but because of the rain we decided to just eat in-house. Would definitely recommend this place whenever you're in the area. There is also a parking lot in front of the restaurant, which is convenient.

    Resa Grill is a diamond in the rough that is Newark. Lots of love and effort put into every dish. The owner is an amazing guy. Would highly recommend you try if you're around the area.

    i ordered the wings and they were really good. It has a cute outside area and a smaller inside area. The owner was sweet and attentive.

    Some of my favorite Resa dishes.

    Very slow kitchen. Maybe because the food seemed defrosted. Not good at all and would not recommend.

    We had the amazing experience of being in downtown Newark on Juneteenth and upon Yelping, found The…read moreYard and its 4.6 star average. We came for the Oxtail burger but on this day they were only making beef burgers, lamb burgers, and catfish sandwiches. The bonus, however, was the BBQ offerings in the backyard -- Mac n cheese, corn on the cob, fries, and plantains! Between the awesome cheeseburger and lamb burger, I was in seventh heaven. We had a great time sitting on the lawn and celebrating this glorious day with our brothers and sisters.

    I really wanted to support this restaurant, but unfortunately our experience left us feeling…read moreuncomfortable. When we arrived, the owner/chef told us the wait would be about 10-15 minutes. Shortly after, another couple came in and were told about 20 minutes. We were the only two parties waiting. When a table opened, the waitress began seating us, and the chef stopped her and asked the other (AA) couple if they were there first. He then told the gentleman, "I see you with family, and I'm not trying to start any problems." This was said while we were literally being seated, and nothing was said to us. It put us in an awkward and embarrassing position, as we would never intentionally skip ahead of anyone. As a Hispanic couple, the interaction also left us wondering if we were being treated differently, even if that wasn't the intention. Then the drink order added to the frustration. I ordered a hibiscus lemonade and my boyfriend ordered a regular lemonade. The waitress repeated it back incorrectly as strawberry, and I corrected her. About 10 minutes later she brought a strawberry lemonade anyway. When I said that wasn't what I ordered, the chef took the drink and handed it to the other couple who had just ordered a strawberry lemonade , saying it was freshly made and "they didn't want it." That was uncomfortable because I never ordered strawberry to begin with. Overall, the interaction felt dismissive and awkward. Mistakes happen, but the way this was handled -- especially the comments made -- left us feeling unwelcome. I hope this feedback helps improve communication and customer experience moving forward.

It sounds like the setup to a…read moreJeopardy! clue, but it all comes together when you discover that Jake LoMatta's favorite second cousin sits proprietor over one of Jersey's best burgers in the Portuguese section of Newark. I of course joke about the famed boxers relationship but I can confirm this Newark institution packs a championship punch where it counts. For decades, Krug's Tavern has been proving that a neighborhood bar with a small well-seasoned grill is sometimes all you need. Without any unnecessary fanfare, they've been serving truly exceptional burgers to Newark locals and hungry visitors from across North Jersey, and there's no sign of slowing down. I stopped in one afternoon on the recommendation of a friend who works for the utility company and had spent more than a few lunch hours beneath Krug's dimly lit ceilings. Within a few bites, it was easy to understand why the place has earned such a devoted following. The Shrimp Scampi may sound like an unusual order off the bar menu, but don't overlook it. It's outstanding and deserves a place on the table no matter what else you're eating. Better yet, ask for the house "secret sauce"--a glorious combination of the scampi butter and Buffalo sauce that somehow works far better than it has any right to. When it comes to burgers, the quintessential Jersey Taylor Ham burger is a must, delivering that perfect salty, smoky bite only New Jersey can truly appreciate. The bacon cheeseburger is equally memorable, piled high with crispy bacon and juicy enough to make napkins less of a suggestion and more of a necessity. Pair any of it with an ice-cold draft beer, soak in the neighborhood atmosphere, and you'll quickly understand why Krug's Tavern has become a North Jersey institution. It's proof that great burgers don't need gimmicks--just a hot grill, cold beer, and decades of doing things the right way. It's bound to be a good time, an IRONbound good time (I'll see myself out)

    This is a top rated burger in New Jersey for sure! I ordered the 12oz burger cooked Medium with…read morecheese and grilled onions. It was juicy and perfect! Pickles and peppers are free but you need to ask for them- the mild cherry peppers tasted great! This Ironbound bar has a great drink selection too with many different beers on tab. I of course got a Guinness. It gets very busy during the lunch hour rush but we grab two seats at the bar. Once everyone goes back to work. It clears out a little bit, but you might have a small weight for a table. Highly recommend this if you're in the area or flying in or out of Newark airport. Our flight was very delayed so we took a quick nine dollar Uber ride over to Krug's and had the best meal.
