I ordered online. This issue started there. The menu made me believe I was going to be wine and dined. I ordered two cheesesteaks. My total online was 7 dollars more than would it have been in person, and the only reason why I know this is because of the receipt they staple onto the bag. Now the cheesesteaks were very mediocre. I could’ve drove all the way to Philly and back and still would’ve paid less. Skimped me on the meat and fries were cold. I’m not one to complain but I was very disappointed. I’m just upset about the price difference and the quality of it all. Smh

Absolutely love the outdoor seating area. The restaurant is dog-friendly too! We ordered some fried pickles, a breakfast platter and a crab cake sandwich. Food was pretty good and service was prompt and attentive. We like the fact that the restaurant is just before the busy part of Main Street of UD.

Will not be coming back here again. Upon coming in was told by what I’m assuming is the manager that there was no seating outside. This turned out to be false as multiple groups of customers after us were taken outside no problem. The wait for our food was about 40 minutes, and we didn’t receive our appetizer until after we had already been served our main course. I had asked for a medium rare burger and got a burger that was well done. The food as a whole was underwhelming and the sodas we received were watered down. The only saving grace in this place was our server who was super nice and was trying to make up for what was obviously a dysfunctional and unorganized work environment, and is the only reason I gave even one star to this place. He even tried to get part of our meal discounted, but when we were approached by the manager about the issues we had he was less than helpful and we ended up paying full price anyways. Don’t waste your time coming here unless you’re willing to wait longer than acceptable for subpar food.

Great food, even better beer List. Love the beer guide chart they have- very helpful. Only issue is the parking situation, can be confusing for people unfamiliar with Newark.

HORRIBLE place to eat. Cleanliness doesn't hardly exist here! Just look at the recent food inspection violations... 13 in the last MONTH! Failure to wash hands, contamination, and failure to clean utensils. Only go here if you want food poisoning, and search up restraunts BEFORE you eat there using the delaware food inspector website. I sure wish I did ?

I returned to my "alma mater" of the University of Delaware for a visit and was told by locals that a "must" was GRAIN ON MAIN. I wasn't overly hungry but heard over and over about their OMG CRABBY PRETZEL dish. I must admit- it was OMG AMAZING! This restaurant was not stingy with the crab and it was simply delish! Service was good but they could have used more waitstaff for a weekend brunch rush!

Food was good but one person in our group ordered a coffee but was unable to get plain sugar for it. Only chemical sugar substitute was available. It made for a really awkward moment trying to ask the server for it.

Came here for a birthday brunch. The location itself is casual with a sports bar vibe.We were greeted quickly by the host and seated at a high top, there was a large table next to us with some loud kids but otherwise the table was nice.I ordered the grain Bloody Mary that had a big piece of homemade beef jerky that was delicious, two blue cheese stuffed olives, a rather large slice of Jalapeño (I’d have preferred a smaller piece or this one cut up) and a stalk of celery that didn’t seem super fresh but the bloody was delicious.For the food we had the “Bread Basket” to start. The bread came in a skillet and drizzled with honey sriracha and a side of honey butter. The bread balls were doughy but I really liked them, they reminded me pão de queijo for those of you that like Brazilian food. The honey sriracha was insanely hot though (temperature not spice) two of us went to grab a piece and burned our fingers enough to blister, probably our fault for being hungry so be careful ?.For my entree I had the captain crunch french toast, which was good but definitely not what I expected. The pieces were just a bit bigger than bite sized, didn’t seem to have much of an egg coating and were basically dusted with captain crunch with crunch berry jam to dip. It was tasty but I probably wouldn’t order this again. This would probably be a good option to share with a few people.All in all brunch was good but nothing super special. 5 stars for the good service and the quick food delivery.Parking: Large parking lot with many spacesKid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly, there were more than I would have preferred.
Those Agave Old Bay wings are something special. Always have fun with my friends here.

Visited November 21, 2023 DinnerThis is our 2nd visit here but it was a while ago! So long we don’t remember if it was in the same year!This place my choice for birthday dinner. Not busy for after 6p midweek but it’s probably bc it’s raining and middle of the week.Anyway, this visit was definitely memorable.We had Carly as our waitress and she was EXCELLENT! Very attentive, aimed to please and did her job wonderfully. I hope I got her name right.The restaurant atmosphere is great. Because it’s around a college area, lots of young people as the wait staff and bar area. The customers are a mix with folks our age and older. You don’t feel like a fish out of water.We ordered our beverages and apps which came in a sufficient manner. We had the Bavarian pretzel and 4 types of dipping sauces: beer cheese, honey mustard, pub mustard and bourbon caramel. OMG, let’s say you will not be disappointed! I could’ve bathed in the caramel it was pure awesomeness. Light and gooey! We also go the street corn dip with taco chips. Also scrumptious!After devouring the apps, we actually ordered entrees. Yes, our eyes were bigger than our bellies!Entrees were grilled cheese on Texas toast with a side order of fries, cheesesteak sub with side order of chips and pork belly tacos with side order of taco chips.We were quite pleased with our meals. I will say, I would’ve liked more of the aioli sauce on my tacos and line on the side to squeeze over top of them. Also, some salsa for the chips.Lastly, we ordered the fried apple egg rolls with the bourbon caramel to take home. I’ll update on how these taste later!OVERALL: This will permanently be the place I have my birthday dinner from now until an apocalypse, goes out of business or I well…we won’t go there…
