    History on the wall
    Kenneth K.

    Deer Park Tavern is an amazing historic tavern in the heart of Newark. This is where my parents and I ate while visiting Delaware to meet my graduate school which is now the Biden School of Public Policy and Administration, and I've eaten here numerous times during my program between 2013 and 2015 including my 24th birthday in 2014. It was fun coming back a decade later with my wife and best friend. Our friend had a burger and me and my wife shared a Philly Burger and Chicken Cheesesteak which was amazing as well as various beers from their large selection. There is plenty of seating in this rustic tavern and the service is always a great

    The food was mid but our server Gabby was the goat. She was so nice and attentive I loved her. Shout out Gabby.

    Pretty table!

    It's a beautiful Saturday & a perfect place to stop and have brunch! French Toast with Cantaloupe and Sausages!! So delicious and a very good portion. My server was excellent & she was so friendly. Thank you everyone.

    The burger was solid. Fries were good. Like the $5 off on Thursday burger special. The historic brick walls were charming. The loud country music didn't fit the vibe. My server was less than attentive. I'm glad I stopped in for lunch, but.... not sure I'd be back if I was a local.

    Starting with a Blue Moon who know where I'll go from there.

    Starting with a Blue Moon who know where I'll go from there. Coming here for a quick dinner with a great coworker and soon to be Yelp Elite. Checking out the restaurant for the first time during the off semester season while the rest of the Blue Hen UD population is away. This place is always busy during the semester but today it's calm for a drink and bite to eat. No happy hour on Fridays but we still grab some drinks and a French Onion sandwich made with burger meat than roast beef. I'm ok with that. The bread was crispy yet soft along with the dipping sauce gave it some more flavor and didn't make it all soggy. I'll have to continue to check this place out through the year with friends and coworkers.

    We had a friend bring us here recently and were so excited to try their brunch but it ended up being disappointing! We sat outside and our server did not come by very much. Our waters were not refilled and we had to wait a while to get our Bloody Mary's ordered. When we did order and get our drinks, all of our Bloody Mary's were not consistent with the amount of alcohol in them. We mixed them all up, but yet my friend's tasted like straight vodka with a hint of tomato juice mix when mine was well balanced and tasted good. The meal itself was pretty good, although we received some items we didn't order and the food was cold when it came out. Towards the end of the meal, we were just ready for the check and to head out, but had to keep waiting.

I enjoyed the bacon and cheese potato kegs. My wife and I split the BLT and grilled cheese. Hers came with a side salad mine with shoe string fries. My son has the salad. Salmon was very good, it was vodka cured; bloodline and skin removed (+++)! Grain was pretty busy for mid-afternoon on a Sunday. Modern pub/ sports pub feel. Phillies game on the TVs. Music playing. Service was OK. My one pet peeve is allowing servers to leave dirty dishes and empty glasses on the table. And our server, although attentive, did not clear any dishes or glasses. Thank god I don't have epilepsy, the light over our table kept blinking non-stop. Plenty of off street parking for patrons. Lots of varied seating, both indoor and outdoor. See warning sign in my pics (haha). As far as prices, they are in line with any other places, as far as these other reviews that said it is excessively expensive, not true. Lunches are $15-20. Apps are a little pricey. Nice beer selection in the $8 ish range. Forgot I wanted to get a pan dessert, next time. I paid using InKind and got a nice discount.

Not surprising, as on holiday weekends most students go home so the town isn't crowded like a usual week. Service was friendly, fast and attentive. Everyone's meals were very good, except for mine. I made a bad choice. Skip the hot honey chicken over donuts brunch item. Its nothing more than 3 chicken fingers over what tasted like a couple of dry entemann's donuts. (Missed opportunity..theres a greta bakery across the street..should get fresh glazed donuts from them. The donuts ruined the dish. Other meals were very good. Easter quiche special with hollandaise sauce and fried potatoes was delicious, although the size of quiche slices was kind of small. Burrata avocado toast was great, and so was their cheese omelette. It was perfect dining for us as we didn't want a heavy, upscale meal at 1:30 in the afternoon. Will definitely come back next time we are in town for dinner and drinks.

Walk in and the energy goes up a notch ...Nifty Fifty's is not for hushed conversationalists it's all about quality fast food fun! I had not had a milkshake in ages and there were so many incredible choices. Before deciding I watched one of the workers pouring milk into the milkshake machine ... a very good sign. Our server was smiling ...had a non stop smile, another good sign and she advised us to go small on the fries (We had debated one large for the two of us but right after she said go small a server walked by with a large fry order ...it could feed six of me! Good advice from the server ... another good sign!). They also have "the world's largest soda machine." I doubt it's the world's largest but it allows for some really creative drink choices!

They charged over $5 for just two tiny pieces of chicken fingers, which is ridiculous. The onion rings were okay, but that was the only decent item. This is supposed to be a grab-and-go fast-food type place, yet we had to wait for a host to be seated, and the waiter service was unnecessary. It doesn't make sense to have full service for this kind of setup, especially when it's not even a proper restaurant experience. No wonder the place was empty on a Saturday night. Definitely not worth the money or the wait.
