“All I can say is WOW. My fiancé had talked about Moe’s and been wanting to try. We finally gave it a try and will be returning!! The service is next to nothing. The food is fantastic, especially the potato salad, cornbread, smoked wings. Trust me when I say to get the moe’s fries and queso - it is LIFE CHANGING!!!”

“It’s great food!!!!! Check it out you won’t be disappointed!!!!”

“We've never eaten in the restaurant to give it an honest review on the atmosphere, however it looks nice & clean inside and the people working are always friendly. Now, for the food...the portions are generous and has great flavor. The variety of baklava, made fresh in house, is impressive and so delicious. Even the sugar-free baklava is sweet and flaky. The service is top-notch. The best place in Newark for gyros!”

“Chili blog on the road. on a road trip to columbus.. After a nice fall walk and some record shopping. i picked up Chili and cornbread. For 5.50 The chili was very decent. Huge chunks of beef chili and kidney beans. Onion dices so thin that you get that flavor without the texture they also appear to use red pepper but no chunky tomatoes. This chili had a very minimal amount of spice. Overall. 7.5 I'd definitely come back for the chili.”

“Service was wonderful and quick! Willing to help and make sure our pizzas were just right! Never had a woodfire pizza before and let me tell you..it was DELICIOUS!! I loved the option to custom make it with unlimited topings!! Highly recommend and can't wait to come back!! Oh and loved how affordable it was!”

“i have had nothing but good experiences at this 7 brew, it’s definitely my go to location for drinks and good interactions. liam especially stands out, he is always very friendly and positive and he genuinely made me as a customer feel welcome and appreciated. he goes out of his way and made my experience enjoyable! even when it’s busy, i’ve always gotten my drinks fast and with high quality. definitely my favorite spot for coffee and other drinks!”

“good food, great service.”

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

“My family absolutely loves Texas Roadhouse in Newark. The kids were so excited to go there tonight. My daughter and I both always order the 6oz and 8oz sirloin and my little one orders the bites. We were very disappointed to find out after our order came out that they were completely out of A1. We always eat A1 with our steak. My steak had zero seasoning. Yes I could have sent it back but for personal reasons that is not an option for me. The manager happen to come around as I was boxing up all our steak and was very apologetic and said that their shipment must have not arrived. I totally understand that things are delayed but we would have ordered something else if we had known.”

“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.”

“Me and my daughter went to dinner tonight at 1922 and had a FABULOUS experience! Our waitress Emma, was hands down the main reason. Great service, great food, and super cute decor. Will be coming back, requesting Emma’s table of course :)”

“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.”

“They did an outstanding job at my daughter’s wedding! So many compliments on how good the food was ! Best Wedding food I ever had!! Above and Beyond any expectations I had and would highly recommend them.”

“I work here and love it great crew”

“The employees that work early morning (5-5:30) are awesome. I never think to catch their names until after I drive away, but they took care of my order on 7-12-26 around 5:20 am.”

“This is my go to local stop with my girls. No other place compares to Rolls. The staff treats you kind and are always welcoming. They greet you when you pull up to the speaker. Ask how you are. Something that is lacking in most drive thru experiences. Most places just say “order when ready” or “what can I get you”. Nothing personal. At Rolls you get that family feel. Their rolls are outstanding especially when heated for a few seconds. The long johns beat any in Licking County. Simply because the cream in them is light and very whipped. Not heavy and greasy. The oatmeal cream pies are also one of my favs. Honestly I have never had anything bad from there. The lattes are tasty as well. I have never tried the bagels but my friend says they are awesome so I’ll be getting one next time. Give them a try the next time you “roll” into town 😉 You won’t be sorry. They are a great small family owed business that strives to please each customer. I wish them nothing but the best!”

“oh my!Tthey are truly an amazing Cafe! they are so welcoming and kind! coffee taste amazing! love the librarian coffee. Banana bread was so yummy. Truly a business I want to keep supporting! plus it's so adorable inside! 5 star business”

“Awesome place!! Highly recommended!!”

“Great place. Owners were awesome. I recommend the mac n cheese pizza and the red beer.The homemade salsa with chips was great too. Great place for family to gather or friends.”

“Great food and excellent service”

“What an amazing first time here! Laid back bar and restaurant. Kinda reminds me of a 50s style bar. Unfortunately no TVs. But have a good jukebox and lots of things to check out on the walls. Had the benji burger and it was fire. I give this place a 5 ⭐️ Oh and the beer 💯”

“the best Mexican restaurant in town best workers in town A. plus”

“I love this pizza. The recipe has been consistent and excellent for many years. This place is super clean, and the staff is exceptionally nice. however, remember when going to pick up this great food, take CASH”

“This place is really cool, it has a small town local vibe, actually the time i was there they where two gents where singing live in an acoustic way, they where also accepting some requests from the public, it was really cool of you want to chill and vibe for the week.”

“Great vibes and the biscuits and gravy make your soul Happy”

“Excellent service and tasty food”

“Love it!”

“Overall just great love the service love the treats cant go wrong!”

“New to the area, so trying all the local spots. 2 weeks ago I ordered a tomato and mushroom. Crust was good and baked properly, but the canned tomatoes and mushrooms made it so bland, threw most of it away. My husband had a meat one, he said it was fine.”

“I drive from Cambridge at least once or twice a month specifically for Debra’s. There’s no other options for pizza for me 😊. Do yourself a favor and try a slice as soon as you pick it up and get it in the car. The taste is unbelievable!!!”

“Awesome bar that's fun for bikers and non bikers alike!! The bartender Stacy is the best and the regulars treat you like family !”

“I rented this venue for my daughter’s graduation party and everyone had an amazing time dancing. The staff were so helpful with everything. I Would book here again. Highly recommend!!!”

“Just picked up a blt pizza and it is fantastic, will definitely be back”

“I had a wonderful Mother’s Day brunch. I was thrilled to see a packed restaurant and the staff working hard to make our experience great. Everyone had a wonderful meal. Thank you from a mom who got to enJOY being served.”

“I make a point to stop here when I come through Newark, the food is always hot, fresh and delicious. The prices are so reasonable and the servings are very large. We ordered Honey Chicken and Wor Sue Gai. I also had won ton soup which is very flavorable.”

“Been there a couple of times but today I tried the Ruben for the first time. I am going to say something very bold…. It was the best Ruben I have ever had. I’ve had Slyman’s and this was better than Slyman’s.”

“Delicious food. I stop anytime I'm in town.”

“Just purchased your clothespin cookies and nut kolachi cookies from Rulli Brothers in Austintown and they are amazing.”

“Besides the Mexican restaurants in town it's one of the only places you can go out with your family and not break the bank to eat. Portions are always fair and the prices are good.”

“Great fish fry and menu. Friendly staff with great prices.”

“The owners are awesome people, good vibes, crowds aren't too bad. Love this bar!”

“I enthusiastically recommend this establishment to all individuals. I have participated in the recreational volleyball league for three years, during which one may either form a team and register to compete or enlist as a free agent to substitute for a team in need. Initially, I joined as a free agent three years ago and subsequently remained with the same team for the duration of that season, continuing to play ever since. The cuisine offered at the grill in the yard is exceptional, and I particularly endorse the wings. Most importantly, this venue is family-friendly, as my daughters take great pleasure in accompanying me to the yard while I engage in volleyball.”

“Excellent Italian sausage 😊”

“we go here twice a week and every time I get a twister it's soup by the time I get it i used to love there twisters but now not so much and there sizes have gotten really small”

“Took extra precautions when it came to making my sub. Very understanding with my allergy!! Tried their Famous Philly on glutenfree bread, will definitely be going back! Thank you.”

“Owners are there and they care about you.They always say hello, bloody marys are off the hook big and plenty of Tvs. nice "normal" place. i will stop in again.”

“Great place I stumbled on. Service was great and will return when I am close by.”

“The brisket was yummy.
Green beans were a touch salty.
I got it to go, so I'm not sure about atmosphere.
But the order was ready and they were nice giving it to me.
Will order the brisket again. Yum!”

“R.I.P. B-dubs! I will never go back there again for wings now that I’ve found Don & Sue’s… hands down the best place for wings in the Newark-Heath-Granville area. Only wish I had found this place earlier. It’s so cool. Very well decked out with a hometown sports vibe. And the food is on point. Great garlic cheese bread, great onion rings, great pizza and now great wings. They have an “extra saucy” option, but there’s no need. My wings were drenched in Carolina Gold (my fav). And to top it all off, Harley was the greatest, nicest, sweetest server I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in ages. Whoever is running this place is hitting on all cylinders. Absolutely my favorite Newark restaurant by far.”

“Jenn shift man anger and Kayden team member nice and helpful!”

“Ordered online; online said busy but gave estimate time for order. I arrived at the latter time and was told my order had NOT been started yet, could be up to 40 minutes. Waited 45 minutes. Checked again and was told order NOT started. CANCELLED the order. Worst service ever experienced!”

“Taylor, our favorite waitress, at the Big Apple Cafe on W. Church St. is the BEST! All of the food is great. It's our go to for breakfast or an early lunch.”

“I've worked here many years and going to miss it and the customers”

“EXCELLENT PIZZA AND VERY FRIENDLY SERVICE.”

“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”

“The best pizza in town! Not to mention the torpedo sub! Always amazing!”

“We've been ordering from Slingin for years now and it's always outstanding. They offer a wide variety of pizzas and the Italian subs are superb too. You won't be disappointed with anything on their menu!”

“Awesome bar that's fun for bikers and non bikers alike!! The bartender Stacy is the best and the regulars treat you like family !”

“been going here since I was a little boy 60 years ago.”

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

“Just purchased your clothespin cookies and nut kolachi cookies from Rulli Brothers in Austintown and they are amazing.”

“Food was excellent as well as the service. I definitely recommend going there or having it delivered. The food is consistently great, every time.”

“Note: I'm Not a food critic nor a 'foodie'; if you want such a review, move to NYC. However, I grew up in Nerk & was in town for the holidays & decided to give Alley Cat a try... My wife ordered a 12" Veggie pizza & I got their Full-sized Philly Steak sub & a Full order of their Cheesy Garlic Bread. ALL were EXCELLENT !! One of the Rare exceptions where website/app pics posted by a restaurant Actually matches what you receive as your order. All the ingredients were fresh & the pizza had enough cheese on it to go well with all the veggies that they lavishly heaped on the pie. The crust was a happy medium between not-too-thin & a hand-tossed; it passed for thin in my wife's discerning eyes. Order was ready for pickup at the specified time; owner & chef were very friendly & even called to verify one of my special requests, which most restaurants would've blown off & just made it the way they wanted to. They are the most recent owners, who rely on the Slice app to receive orders, since the original website was not transferred to them in the transfer of ownership.”

“The team had a slight delay in giving the food, trying to service as many customers as possible. They asked us to pull around and not only brought out hot food, but was apologetic and provided a bonus drink for the extended wait. This is good service.”

“I had not been in a TJs for literally years (at least 10) because the last meal I got was so full of grease that it made me nauseous. Tonight my husband had some friends who were dining at the TJs in Newark, OH and asked me if I wanted to go. I was hungry and didn’t feel like cooking so I said. “Well I don’t really like TJs but I’ll try it.” I was glad I did. My meal was good. The portions were great. The service was outstanding even though they were very busy. We got a military discount because my husband is a vet. I’ll definitely go back to the TJs in Newark on north 21st street.”

“Excellent service and tasty food”

“Haven't had Lee's for years since their isn't one where I live. I've got to say way better than KFC. At KFC the strips are like chicken fingers they are small. At Lee's you actually get some chicken! Next time I want something like KFC, I'll travel to Lee's!”

“We are now open! Come stop on by for lunch and dinner. We have all your late night cravings! Open 10am-2am”

“Wow this was my first time to eat here. We are from Wyoming and have never stopped to eat at a Steak and Shake. What a great surprise. Get the orange creme shake to eat with your burger and fries, you won't be disappointed.”

“Me and my daughter went to dinner tonight at 1922 and had a FABULOUS experience! Our waitress Emma, was hands down the main reason. Great service, great food, and super cute decor. Will be coming back, requesting Emma’s table of course :)”

“Stopped by Bob Evans in Newark, Ohio, for a delicious homestyle meal. From the warm hospitality to the comforting, made-from-scratch favorites, it's always a great place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you're craving classic comfort food in a welcoming atmosphere, Bob Evans is a dependable stop that feels just like home. ❤🍳☕”
