Hello, my husband and I took a little summer evening ride to Newark and had dinner at the Homefires…read moreGrill. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, the service, the food, the beverages, and everything. I requested a drink off the menu, a Moscow Mule, and it was so good. It was relaxing, a good sound level for conversation, comfortable lighting, and clean. We asked to see the patio which is almost completed and the staff member welcomed us to have a look. It's really cool and we look forward to coming again. Glad to support stand alone, entrepreneurial businesses and have a good time too.

Fried mushrooms were the BEST I've ever had!! My chicken tenders were good. The burgers looked nice and a friend had the Philly Cheese steak which she said was very good. Only weak link- and it's a big one- were the salads. Looked pretty below average with boring iceberg lettuce and just a few other toppings ie. pepperoni, cheese. Spring mix would really boost the appeal factor with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and croutons. After seeing their salad, I would not order that and a lot of women order salads when they go out. Our server seemed annoyed at times but in her defense, it was a big group. I would probably go back

My friend told me they have great burgers, but he got the special "Bennett" listed on the "Burger…read moreSpecial" board which came with corned beef, so he was surprised that there was no burger, and told me that the corned beef was "cheap lunch meat quality". I was looking forward to trying a couple beers listed on the website, but they were not there. My BLT was delicious, but the "avocado" upcharge was really just an avocado sauce, not real avocado. Most irritating though, the waitress brought us our check while I was only halfway done with my meal - I didn't ask for it and was clearly not ready. My friend commented to her that I still was thinking of getting a boozy milkshake. She didn't get the hint that maybe we weren't ready for the check, and just asks me which one I want. I was planning that as a dessert, so I stared at my half-eaten meal and told her that I'd like to finish my meal first before thinking about that. I haven't felt so rushed in a restaurant a long time. My friend told me that he goes often and had never had that experience before, so we'll try it again - and get a real burger.

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.
