From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel extremely welcome (&& not in that forced service way ) just warm and natural. You can tell they actually enjoy what they're doing. Ordered some food and I was honestly surprised at how fast everything came out (it was really good on top of it) Also! Tony was behind the bar and he deserves a special shoutout. Not only was he super attentive without being intrusive! His drinks were killer! They also have one of those modern jukebox system that allows you to control the music from your phone and queue up your own songs!! Which makes you set up the vibe!

The Junction is part of the Double Tree hotel and accessible on the 2nd floor or from the Gateway walking area adjacent to the train station. I can get to the platform in under 5 minutes, which is nice. Every time I eat here, I order the breakfast burrito. It has a lot of flavor and always is served piping hot. Seriously I ate all the home fries and the darn thing was still burning my mouth! And yet totally worth it. The seating area surrounds a bar and there are a few TVs on the walls. Again, its a nice respite from waiting at the train station. I am sure I will eat here again.

We had an 845 reservation for an FDU graduation dinner... we had a big group and it was wonderful!…read more I was truly living in the moment because I don't think I took any photos of the food, but we all really enjoyed what we ordered! Thank you !

We were in Newark a late afternoon on a Sunday and looking for a burger. Went to another famous…read morelocal place and it was closed so decided to try Burke's Tavern. The atmosphere and restaurant look great. It has a good vibe and the service was great. Let me tell you about the burger, not the best, they give you a slider size patty, overcooked and served on a bun that comes apart when you grab it. I'm not sure about the rest of the menu, but not a burger place. Now the chocolate cake with the raspberry ice cream--wow! This was the best part of the meal. I'm giving this place 4 stars even though I didn't like the burger because that's all I tried. I'll come back and revise this rating up/down if I come back and try other menu items. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Located in the lobby of The Marriott Newark Intl Airport Hotel, this restaurant offers healthier…read moreand tastier options than eating at the airport. When we landed we headed here since we were staying at the hotel anyway. While I wouldn't go out of my way to come eat here if you do happen to be at the hotel it's a solid option. Musa was our server and he was outstanding! The seasonal flatbread (mushroom) was our favorite item we ordered. I also really enjoyed the Asian salad.

No reason to go here unless you're staying at the Marriott Newark Airport, but if you are,…read morehonestly, it's not too bad. Kinda slow at times both in terms of service and the kitchen, very American menu, and they can get busy. It's an older hotel so the ambiance is kind of business-dated. But considering they have a captive audience, they are sufficiently decent that I don't mind coming here.

This place is a gem and a must go . The only thing they have to work on a little bit is table service . People need to be a bit more friendly . Service at the bar is always great tho . Definitely recommend for the food and ambience .

Stopped in on a Tuesday after work for a light meal with some drinks…read more Nice but simple open floor plan. Looks like a small stage was available in the dining room that contained the (approx) 20 seat bar. I saw a separate glass enclosed dining room, assuming that was for customers who wanted to avoid loud music. NO dress code as some of the bar patrons looked like sloppy. Staff seemed nice, however or waiter was not that good. Almost seemed like his first waiter job. Prices were a bit on the high side for the return ( food, atmosphere, service). based on this I would say not much value for your $$.' I realize that in these times more & more places are charging a 2-4% fee to pay with a credit card, BUT this is the very first restaurant I have ever been in that includes the tip on a party of 2 ( approx 18%). They have a decent wine & cocktail list. However I found the beer choices a little light. THE FOOD, We just stopped in for a few apps ( we shared) and drinks. -Ceviche & Sweet Potato chips- good portion; was good and fresh, but lacking any large chunks of fish or shrimp that I've had elsewhere. -Crab stuffed Clam Shells-- very good stuffing; 3 for $15 -Paolica with Raclette---winner here; chorizo bread with fresh melted cheese ( done table side) was sooo good! wanted more. MY first time having something with "raclette", wont be the last. We didn't have entrees, but they had some nice options ( $27 and up) Looks like they put more thought into the entree menu that the app menu.

Seasoned well, lots of margarine sauce with fresh garlic. A little salty but a good amount for the price. My second order just a month apart was vastly different. The crabs came and that ammonia like smell hit me like a baseball to the face. Spending all my summers in Maryland,I recognize the smell of rotten crabs. It was potent. I was highly upset because how could you send this out?? You could literally kill someone like this! Throwing a mountain of garlic and old bay to mask that heavy ammonia scent due to expiration is a very dangerous game. I was refunded my money but that's honestly not the point here. It's pure dangerous to sell rotten seafood to folk. I looked on the app reviews and saw 2 others say the same months before me. Unforgivable.
