We had the amazing experience of being in downtown Newark on Juneteenth and upon Yelping, found The…read moreYard and its 4.6 star average. We came for the Oxtail burger but on this day they were only making beef burgers, lamb burgers, and catfish sandwiches. The bonus, however, was the BBQ offerings in the backyard -- Mac n cheese, corn on the cob, fries, and plantains! Between the awesome cheeseburger and lamb burger, I was in seventh heaven. We had a great time sitting on the lawn and celebrating this glorious day with our brothers and sisters.

I really wanted to support this restaurant, but unfortunately our experience left us feeling…read moreuncomfortable. When we arrived, the owner/chef told us the wait would be about 10-15 minutes. Shortly after, another couple came in and were told about 20 minutes. We were the only two parties waiting. When a table opened, the waitress began seating us, and the chef stopped her and asked the other (AA) couple if they were there first. He then told the gentleman, "I see you with family, and I'm not trying to start any problems." This was said while we were literally being seated, and nothing was said to us. It put us in an awkward and embarrassing position, as we would never intentionally skip ahead of anyone. As a Hispanic couple, the interaction also left us wondering if we were being treated differently, even if that wasn't the intention. Then the drink order added to the frustration. I ordered a hibiscus lemonade and my boyfriend ordered a regular lemonade. The waitress repeated it back incorrectly as strawberry, and I corrected her. About 10 minutes later she brought a strawberry lemonade anyway. When I said that wasn't what I ordered, the chef took the drink and handed it to the other couple who had just ordered a strawberry lemonade , saying it was freshly made and "they didn't want it." That was uncomfortable because I never ordered strawberry to begin with. Overall, the interaction felt dismissive and awkward. Mistakes happen, but the way this was handled -- especially the comments made -- left us feeling unwelcome. I hope this feedback helps improve communication and customer experience moving forward.

The wait time was a bit on the long side (about 20 minutes) but that's how you know things are made to order & fresh. we'll worth the wait. When the food is fresh, oh man theirs no topping it. I thought the fries had a weird sweet seasoning that I couldn't quite put my finger on nor could I necessarily get with, but this place is called "Wingstop" not "Fry-Stop" I ordered 2 orders of classic wings one garlic parmesan and the other lemon pepper.

The chicken did have a flavor too it which was good, but got a little boring. The nice thing is that the chicken was crispier (but it was also less juicy). Pieces were smaller than other fried chicken spots like Popeyes. I ate 6 pieces versus the 4 I would usually have. No parking lot. Need to find a street spot

Can't remember the bread but the chicken stole the show. Even my dog loves Royals fried chicken. It's a counter service spot where you have to grab parking wherever you find but they usually have you in and out. I believe you can call orders in but I never felt the need. There's no seating, just a quick flowing line with ppl standing around. Worth the trip my favorite chicken spot in NYC/NJ

A bacon cheeseburger, a Raging Bull, and an Ironbound tavern. It sounds like the setup to a…read moreJeopardy! clue, but it all comes together when you discover that Jake LoMatta's favorite second cousin sits proprietor over one of Jersey's best burgers in the Portuguese section of Newark. I of course joke about the famed boxers relationship but I can confirm this Newark institution packs a championship punch where it counts. For decades, Krug's Tavern has been proving that a neighborhood bar with a small well-seasoned grill is sometimes all you need. Without any unnecessary fanfare, they've been serving truly exceptional burgers to Newark locals and hungry visitors from across North Jersey, and there's no sign of slowing down. I stopped in one afternoon on the recommendation of a friend who works for the utility company and had spent more than a few lunch hours beneath Krug's dimly lit ceilings. Within a few bites, it was easy to understand why the place has earned such a devoted following. The Shrimp Scampi may sound like an unusual order off the bar menu, but don't overlook it. It's outstanding and deserves a place on the table no matter what else you're eating. Better yet, ask for the house "secret sauce"--a glorious combination of the scampi butter and Buffalo sauce that somehow works far better than it has any right to. When it comes to burgers, the quintessential Jersey Taylor Ham burger is a must, delivering that perfect salty, smoky bite only New Jersey can truly appreciate. The bacon cheeseburger is equally memorable, piled high with crispy bacon and juicy enough to make napkins less of a suggestion and more of a necessity. Pair any of it with an ice-cold draft beer, soak in the neighborhood atmosphere, and you'll quickly understand why Krug's Tavern has become a North Jersey institution. It's proof that great burgers don't need gimmicks--just a hot grill, cold beer, and decades of doing things the right way. It's bound to be a good time, an IRONbound good time (I'll see myself out)

Krug's is GREAT!…read more The burgers are huge, juicy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, they're just phenomenal. The melted cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion on a perfectly toasted bun? So good. And they serve complimentary pickles and hot peppers on the side, which really sets it off. You literally don't even need fries with this burger -- it's more than enough. I ordered a whole one and could only eat half. My friend and I even said we should've just shared one! We started with the garlic fried shrimp scampi. The flavor was definitely there, though the shrimp were just a tad tough. I ordered a lemon berry Arnold Palmer, which didn't really impress me -- but I wasn't there for the drinks. I came for the burger, and I was more than satisfied. The prices were fair, and you get a small discount if you pay cash. They have their own parking lot behind the building (not the supermarket one), which is a big plus because parking in that area can be rough. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and I loved how everyone helped each other instead of just one assigned server handling everything. TVs all around, music playing, people laughing and enjoying is what you'll find here! It's kid friendly so bring the fam with ya! I will definitely be back. If you're a burger lover, I highly recommend this spot!

If you're a wing lover, you have to check out Wing Bar, especially on Wednesday for $1 Wing Night!…read moreIt's a 'dine-in only' deal with a 6-wing minimum, but the best part is that for every 6 wings, you can try a new flavor. I tried the Classic Buffalo and the Yard Bird (a mix of classic and garlic parm). Both were fantastic. The chicken was clearly fresh and had the perfect 'bite' to it. The staff here is incredibly nice and makes you feel right at home. I'm already planning my next trip back to try their Smashburger, which I've heard great things about. Also, a huge plus: they serve Baonannas banana pudding for dessert!

I'll give it another shot in the future, but just want to let the people know.

Even though the interior was small, the tables were full when I got my pickup order. I was also early and acknowledged I didn't mind waiting, but the cashier quickly prepared my order, which was nice. The soy garlic wings sounded intriguing, and they were. Not too saucy, and the chicken was nice and crisp. They made such a great shareable for football but are obviously great for any chicken craving. The sides offerings weren't much, but I am intrigued to return and try a potato or rice dog. But yes, it was indeed good chicken, and it has a lot of chicken styles to fit everyone's satisfaction.
