A friend and I stopped into Keeper's yesterday, before the Iron Maiden concert. Our choice was…read moreeasy, as it's the only bar/restaurant in the immediate area of Sports Illustrated Stadium. The food was very good. I had the pita & hummus side and the Caesar salad. I like how they grind up the croutons into flakes; that's the only way I truly enjoy croutons. My friend had a fish burger and enjoyed it. I like the vibe of the place; lots of unique and sometimes odd photos framed on the walls. Plenty of soccer pics, of course, since they're next to a soccer stadium. We had a difficult start to our visit. I don't know if there was some confusion about our table or what, but as the extended, continuous wait for service dragged on, we considered leaving. Then the hostess, Rachel, noticed we still hadn't been served and came over and got our order. She then stopped by every five or ten minutes to see if we needed anything else, and took our food order too. I truly appreciate Rachel's assistance; she's a perfect employee and really turned around a potentially lame dining experience. Twenty minutes in, I'd have said I'm never coming back here, but the way she turned it around, I would visit Keeper's again.

I would leave no stars, but yelp doesn't allow…read more I'll start by saying the bartender Aaron is sweet and tries his best. The server who I believe is Anastasia, careless in the worst way. Terrible attitude. Food is always inconsistent, so many changes, down to the bread the burger is on. No host staff, which I understand because business only picks during game days, but Ive been here plenty of times to find no one watching the door or caring about any impression. No servers around, the bartender in and out etc. Each time I've come, it only disappointed me more and more, no exaggeration. Nick, I believe is the only manager, and it looks to me like doesn't care about the place, the guests, or anything happening around him. I now go to Joia, a friendly and cute Portuguese spot up the block, where I find less BS and better service.

The Yard is easily one of my favorite spots in Newark. The food is incredible -- especially the…read moreoxtail burger with Gruyère and Wala sauce, which I genuinely dream about. Their hand-cut fries are always on point too. But what makes The Yard really special is the people. Kai has created a space that feels rooted in Black joy, community, and genuine hospitality. He and Niy are always so kind, and every time I leave, I feel seen and appreciated. There are plenty of places to get a burger, but very few places that make you feel connected to a city. I'm newer to Newark and already feel that way about The Yard. I hope they're here forever.

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.

The Junction is part of the Double Tree hotel and accessible on the 2nd floor or from the Gateway walking area adjacent to the train station. I can get to the platform in under 5 minutes, which is nice. Every time I eat here, I order the breakfast burrito. It has a lot of flavor and always is served piping hot. Seriously I ate all the home fries and the darn thing was still burning my mouth! And yet totally worth it. The seating area surrounds a bar and there are a few TVs on the walls. Again, its a nice respite from waiting at the train station. I am sure I will eat here again.

First visit was solid, so I came back. That was a mistake! I won't be returning…read more Ordered a ribeye medium rare. What arrived was rare. I had to call the server over twice about it. She apologized and took it back. When it returned, I sliced it open again and it was still rare. She took the plate a second time with another "sorry," and that was it--no compensation, no offer to remake it properly, nothing. The server was the girl who works the late-night shift. Absolute worst service. She never checked on the table to make sure everything was okay--only showed up when I had to flag her down twice about the steak. The whole experience killed my appetite and ruined the meal. Not sure if they had a different cook on Wednesday, but whoever was on the grill that night has no business cooking at a place that calls itself a steakhouse.

The pizza was so so. The wings arrived ice cold. Service: atrocious. The server was confused from the beginning. It took over 15 minutes for a server to come to us and we had to ask. This is because other tables around us were getting drinks. Another 15 minutes and we wave him down, and he proceeds to ask "what can I get you?" He seriously forgot he even took our order.10 more minutes my husband's drink comes but not my glass of wine. 10 more minutes the server brings the wine. The food was more of the same . He brought the pizza and twenty minutes later (after we saw him and asked) he brought the ice cold wings. Never once an apology. Never asked can I get you anything else. I wish I had looked at reviews before going there. If you go on their website there are numerous complaints similar and worse than mine .
