    Bummie's on Main: Where Burgers, Onion Rings, and Hand-Cut Fries Steal the Show If you're looking for the kind of burger that makes you sit back, close your eyes, and just appreciate life for a second -- you need to find yourself at Bummie's on Main in downtown Newark, Ohio. Tucked right in the heart of the city, Bummie's isn't just another burger joint -- it's a local legend. From the moment you walk in, you can smell that mouthwatering sizzle of fresh patties hitting the grill. You know you're in for something special. Burgers Done Right At Bummie's, burgers aren't just food -- they're an experience. Each one is made fresh, stacked high, and packed with flavor. Juicy, perfectly seasoned beef patties, melty cheese, fresh toppings, and that slightly toasted bun that holds it all together just right. Whether you're craving a classic cheeseburger or something piled with bacon and special sauce, every bite hits differently. You can tell they take pride in their burgers -- and it shows. No doubt about it -- the burgers are the star of the show. But There's So Much More While the burgers steal the spotlight, Bummie's menu has plenty more to offer -- from tasty appetizers to hand-tossed pizzas. No matter what you're craving, Bummie's delivers comfort food with serious flavor. Colossal Onion Rings You Have to See to Believe Let's talk about those colossal onion rings for a second. These aren't your basic, thin, soggy rings -- no way. At Bummie's, the onion rings are next-level giant. Thick-cut, crispy on the outside, tender and sweet on the inside. Lightly battered and fried to golden perfection, they somehow manage to be both hearty and delicate at the same time. One order could practically feed the table -- but trust me, you're going to want your own. Hand-Cut Fries Worth the Hype And then, the fries. Forget frozen -- Bummie's hand-cuts their fries fresh every day. You can taste the difference immediately: crispy on the outside, fluffy and soft inside, with just the right amount of salt. They're the kind of fries that make you keep reaching back into the basket even when you're full. The Vibe Bummie's on Main isn't fancy, and that's part of the charm. It's casual, welcoming, and full of small-town personality. It's the kind of place where locals gather, where the staff knows your name, and where newcomers are treated like old friends. It's comfort food at its absolute best -- no pretensions, just incredible flavors made with real care. Final Verdict: If you find yourself anywhere near downtown Newark, Ohio, make it a point to swing by Bummie's on Main. Between their amazing burgers, colossal onion rings, hand-cut fries, and a menu full of homestyle favorites, you're guaranteed to leave full and happy.

    WOW... how have I never stopped in before??? What a find... this place is AWESOME. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it rings the bell in all other areas. It has that neighborhood restaurant feel. The environment is super friendly with a great staff. Our waiter, Michael, is a Rockstar - the advice, recommendations, and service were fantastic. We got the mushrooms for an appetizer, which were homemade - not frozen - OMG, they are the best fried mushrooms I have ever had. I had the Reuben with onion rings - the reuben was delicious, but the onion rings were off the hook good. Wifie had Chef's salad, which she loved. Portions were large, and everything was priced very reasonably. This is the place to eat in Newark.

    Found this gem on on Yelp! My burger was amazing and as much as I wanted to love the gorgeous onion rings I just wasn't feeling them! I think the size just intimidated the hell out of me and I spent too much time trying to figure out where to start! Overall it was great and I highly recommend especially if you have a big appetite!

    No place in Newark is better for a burger and beer. They have relocated after a fire over a year ago and less of a dive unfortunately. I lived their old place. The new place outside of downtown took over a previous thriving pizza joint. Parking can be tight! The lot was clear of debris. I sat at the bar with a friend and service was immediate and extremely friendly. The business was extremely busy around noon on a weekday. They list their craft beer on a menu board and rotate around eight. The front area has bar and booth seating. An area in the back and side tables. Everything was clean. I ordered a cheeseburger with side of onion rings. Also a craft brew. Most people around me had burgers. My friend ordered a Ruben. Our waiter said the owner was there when mentioning the old place. Food hit the counter in around 20 minutes. Everything looked and smelled amazing! My burger was juicy and packed with flavor. My onion rings plentiful and a delight. The beer was a perfect accompaniment. My friend said his Ruben rocked! Our waitress checked in on us. We closed out the bar and for the amount of food and quality we both felt the price was fair. 4.5 rounding up.

    Delicious burgers and pizza! Friendly staff. Food was prepared and delivered to our table quickly. Bummie's has become a staple part of our annual trip to the Newark, OH area!

    Burger and fries!

    Everything!! The burger was absolutely delicious! Fries are fresh cut and the bomb! We got seats at the bar right away and served immediately. We were there early, 4:30 and the place filled up quickly! It's a bustling place wya great vibe.

    Heard about this place from friends, wanted to try since they were back open. Went on a Saturday night around 4:30ish. We had around a 10 minute wait, which a couple of bar seats opened up. Shortly after it was packed at the door. Recommend going early if you don't want to wait. Small seating area near the bar, but larger expanded area in the back. We had apps which consisted of the pretzel bites. They were fried and served with a cheese sauce as well as honey mustard. They were good. Crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The fries and onion rings were great. The fries were had cut, nice crisp and soft center. Onion rings were huge! I ordered the Ragin' Cajun' it was amazing. Great cook on the burger. Plenty of toppings to make it all come together. Not too spicy, but had a bit of a kick that left you wanting more.

    Sat at bar! Had a great meal and a great time!!

    Love Bummies!! Drove from Zanesville with family and friends because it's just the best! We all had burgers but everything on the menu is next level! The 5 of us sat at bar to save time as it was busy dinner time. Didn't take long at all before we were digging in! Prices are very reasonable and service is "hometown friendly"!!

    If you're looking for a spot that consistently hits the mark on both flavor and atmosphere,…read moreElliot's Wood Fired Kitchen & Tap is a must-visit. 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.

We had a group of 6 and they had no problem sitting us with no reservation on a Saturday. One of the employees was able to get the Georgia game on and I was happy as a clam watching football and drinking beer. They even had a THC friendly lemonade that was delicious! If I'm ever in this area, I'll be stopping by just to have another pour of that! The food was excellent. I would compare it to an upscale bar food. My wife and I got the pretzel which was very good paired with one of the lagers. They even brought out extra cheese which was very kind. The wings were excellent too. I would absolutely recommend them if you're a wing connoisseur.

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.

As before, he tried to blame the delivery service instead of taking responsibility. It's obvious there is no proper quality control. The restaurant handed the driver only half the order, yet the manager refused to acknowledge fault. When we asked for fresh food, we were met with resistance--we did not want food that had potentially been sitting at the bar for two hours. Poor service twice in a row, no accountability, & constant blaming of 3rd-party delivery services for the restaurant's own mistakes. We will not be spending any more money here.
