Restaurants in Newark

“Great place to chill and hang with your friends!”

“I had my best friend and her kiddos and I had a couple of mine kiddos with me. We had a small girls night out if you want something well worth your money when you go out to eat and just to have a good time I highly recommend coming and visiting the people at the buckeye winery. Also try their bloody Mary highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!”

“Over the past week i have been in 3 times !! Absolutely love the juices i picked and came back recently to try the shroom coffee and oh my goodness soooo good!! Everyone there has been so nice and offer to answer any questions i might have !! Can’t wait to come back for more !!”

“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.”

“This place has a cool atmosphere. The vintage brew signs make it feel like the man cave. This location definitely has a local crowd, as we stopped in on game night. Plenty of bar seating and some bar snacks. There is also tables near the front of the establishment if you do not prefer bar seating. Service was great, very friendly bartender and plenty of brew options as they have 10 on tap. Overall a cool local hangout!”

“Stopped here for dinner while visiting family, this place is a hidden gem!Had Calimari to start- the texture was great, the breading was airy and well-seasoned but very tender.I had the Chicken Riggies for my entree- the chicken was perfectly cooked and the vodka sauce was delicious! I asked for a little extra spice in the sauce and it did not disappoint (though would order as it comes if you're sensitive to spice).I finished with the flourless chocolate torte for dessert- the flavors of the dark chocolate balanced well with the fruit topping and was dense but not too filling. I would definitely get it again!Staff was very friendly and quick. I had an Old Fashioned, generous pours but not over-powering.We will definitely be back next time we're in town!”

“Went for a group event. Place is lovely, the quiche was served cold which surprised me, only negative was the dining room is very loud, it was hard to have conversations.”

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

“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 !”

“Walking into Pizza Nerds, I was immediately struck by the casual and laid-back atmosphere. The place buzzes with a vibrant energy, reflective of a passionate team dedicated to crafting unique pizza experiences. It's a takeout and delivery-oriented spot, so keep in mind that seating options aren't available. Pizza Nerds lives up to its name with an array of inventive pizzas that tantalize the taste buds. Each pizza I tried boasted a perfect balance of flavors and textures, from the crispy, buttery crust to the generously topped and perfectly melted cheese. Their house-made ranch, a recommended accompaniment, elevates the pizza dipping experience. Each slice was a testament to their commitment to quality and creativity in pizza making. And for those with a sweet tooth, don’t miss out on their cookies…they’re incredible! The service at Pizza Nerds was efficient and friendly. Despite the absence of dine-in options, they ensure a smooth and quick takeout and delivery service. The staff's enthusiasm about their menu and willingness to suggest favorites added to the overall positive experience. Pizza Nerds in Newark is more than just a pizza place; it’s an expression of culinary art and creativity. While the lack of seating might be a drawback for some, the quality and uniqueness of their pizzas make it a must-visit for pizza enthusiasts and culinary adventurers alike. It’s a testament to how a small, passionate team can create something wonderfully different in the world of pizza.”

“Today was my first time using the drive-thru and hands down BEST customer service in town!! From the welcoming voice to the quick service. I was there less than 5 minutes and that was with 3 cars ahead of me! I also got to listen to them joke with their regulars and it was so nice to hear such happiness so early!!

“this place is the best ice cream joint I've ever had I would seriously recommend it and the cookies and cream has me dying so if you were to have a first date I would recommend this place to.”

“Good service, menu is broad enough with a few Thai options in addition to Chinese classics. If this were in Columbus, I might give it four stars but on the licking county curve it's definitely a five if you live around here.”

“Are you sick of paying $15! for a hamburger?This place is for you.It’s been an institution for over 50 years. It features diner-style food with a full-bar.Food is delicious and prices are cheap. The kitchen can take awhile if they’re super busy. Won’t impress foodies, but a solid Midwest meal.My only boomer comment: the jukebox is extremely loud!”

“Tom Kha with Tofu was AMAZING! And the Thai Tea was the sugary drink of your dreams ?On point for a Gluten free and Dairy free meal as they use rice and coconut milk. Green curry was better than most although they served with sticky rice which wasn’t the texture I’d wanted. Will be back for this hole in the wall gem. ?Dietary restrictions: Dairy Free, Gluten Free”

“The Hub is a wonderful venue for many genres and events. Great bartenders and delicious food. I love that there are four pool tables available for practice and for fun. Recently added the Dart boards which expand on your experience. There is always something going on at the Hub. I love the weekend shows that are always happening. It is a very relaxed and laid back atmosphere. I love my Hub.”

“This used to be our favorite coffee shop. We went there religiously. Lately the line is so long at 21st. We've been going elsewhere but tried to give it a shot today. My husband was in line at 2:51 (they close at 3). By the time he got up to order there was an automated recording saying they weren't taking orders anymore. Ridiculous. The hours are awful now too. When Josh and Cam were there it was top notch!”

They had the heat ? on it was hot. I asked the guy behind the counter if it was warm in here or was it was just me. He said thank you. I'll turn it off . While we were eating, the heat came back on. I got done eating, and I had to go outside. My face was flushed ? . So that's why the 3 stars.”

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

“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.”

“I went the Summer Solstice at The Station and was blown away!!! The variety of handmade items and “one-of-kind” jewelry, necklaces, etc was phenomenal!! All the booths (which included tarot card readers and a medium) were incredible! And thanks to the best bartender in center Ohio-Abbie, you rock girlfriend!!! You definitely want to show up to the next Pop-Up Event, and bring lots of money!! You won’t be able to resist the goodies! Thank you Vicky Graham for organizing a wonderful day out in the sunshine!!!”

“Just visited with a bus full of high schoolers that were in town for a dance competition. Everyone had ordered and had their food/ ice cream in under 10 minutes. Staff was friendly and on their toes with all these teens ordering.Great job! We'll definitely visit again when down this way.”

“The staff and owner is amazing and everyone at my sons graduation party loved it”

“I recently discovered this fantastic smoothie store, and I can't say enough good things about it. The variety of smoothies they offer is simply outstanding, and the friendly staff make the experience even better. Not only do the smoothies taste delicious, but I love that they offer options to add in extra items like protein, immune system support, and heart-healthy ingredients. It's great to have these additional choices to customize my smoothie exactly the way I want it. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a wide selection of healthy and tasty smoothie options with the added bonus of personalization!”

“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.”

“everyone was friendly and I had a great time”

“I have been a customer for many years and have recommend it to so many friends and family. Every one absolutely loves this place. Such wonderful pizza, subs, and everything else.”

“A consistent great experience at this location. It gets VERY busy at peak times. And that's for a reason. It's worth the visit if you're looking for a good steak or some larger portions of food. And the wife loves the rolls of course.”

“WOW I don't believe I have anything to complain about! Yes they get a 5 star, Thursday eve tables available, the restaurant has a friendly atmosphere with a typical barbecue /pub ambiance. Good for a casual date night or a girls/guys night out. I waited to order less than 5 minutes. Cheerfully greeted, helpful staff (I had reviewed the menu in the parking lot but it had been a long day). Patiently waiting while I choose my order. Ordered a brisket sandwich, chicken wings and fries with cheese and bacon. Now for the kicker, I dislike brisket (sorry Texas) to the point of NEVER ordering it, BUT on the recommendation of a friend I gave it a shot. Here is the result, I don't like smoked brisket but the brisket sandwich was fabulous, I ate 1/2 the sandwich without sauce, no added salt or pepper basically in bbq language NAKED. awesome flavor, perfect amount of char, moist and tasty I might start ordering brisket. Now the chicken wings were small in size but not in flavor. Perfectly smoked still moist and in my opinion better without any sauce just a little salt and pepper. On to the fries, now my order was to go, and that's why I'm leaving this for last. The flavor was spot on! But the fries were not cooked long enough not for the moisture in the nacho cheese to destroy the texture. Again I say the flavor was great and if ordering for a table order the fries are good, I just wouldn't order them to go again.”

“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.”

“Order was ready when they said it would be, hot and fresh.Vegetarian options: Have not personally tried, but it is on the menuDietary restrictions: They offer cauliflower crust”

“Seems like this place got planked by the removal of the intersection here, now you have to cut through the cherry valley neighborhood to get to it.The food here is perfectly fine most of the times I eat here, but just remember to check your bags before you leave.They stopped doing loaded curly fries, I think that's a thing for all Arby's now.I dig the smokehouse brisket.”

“PLAZA PIZZA NEWARK IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST PIZZA IN TOWN!!!!!! ITS THIN, CRISPY AND FULL OF FLAVOR! OUR GO TO IS A EXTRA LARGE CHEESE PIZZA AND IT HITS THE SPOT EVERYTIME! SOOO DELICIOUS! THE PEOPLE THERE ARE KIND, ALWAYS SHOW US GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND NEVER DISAPPOINT!!! IF YOU HAVENT TRIED IT, YOU MUST! Already started digging into this one on the way home! Couldn't wait!”

“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”

“I always look for new places I went to a sister location two years ago and had a great time. This time did not disappoint. The staff are all womderful and our server was energetic and over all lovely. The food is great for the price, mine was slightly over cooked but it wasn't enough for it to be ruined. It was the thinner bits anyways so let's be honest nobody cares. They were slow when I went with my party of four. Regardless it was clean it was a chill atmosphere. If you want a good place to go I recommend old bag of nails. (The pickle spears are amazing next day cold.) I got bread pudding as a desert and it is wonderful. Give it a shot if you haven't tried it just remember be patient and be polite.Parking: Free lot could be hard if they were packed. Wheelchairs would have difficulty entering but the inside layout is flat”

“Fantastic! Kallie has personality and provides great attentive service. Our food came out hot and very delicious. This Newark location of Roosters has never failed to deliver satisfaction to my high standards over the years the many visits I've made.”

“Great food, clean restaurant, and the friendliest employees! The menu was so large and the prices were unbeatable. Will definitely be back! 10/10!”

“This is my FAVORITE pizza place of all time. Everyone who works there is very amazing. They are very respectful, hard working, and my food is always hot and just perfect.Parking: It's a big lot with a lot of open spaces.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly atmosphere I bring my kids to grab the pizza and they love the staff. They are really good with kidsWheelchair accessibility: They have an incline in the pavement for wheel chairs.”
