We really enjoy going out to Iron Hill Brewery in Newark. The staff is always friendly & helpful. We like that the atmosphere is low-key (especially when the college students are on break!) and we can watch sports while eating! Tonight our server was prompt, attentive, & nice. Everyone enjoyed their food - and we had a wide variety between our party of four: traditional cheese pizza, black bean burger, country schnitzel, and scallop special. We went out to celebrate my dad’s birthday so he chose the apple pie with ice cream for dessert… it was sooo good! Overall, we look forward to our next visit!

Love this place. The reason for the 4 star on food was there was too much pasta - it overwhelmed the sauce. Better to have half as much and enjoy the flavor more. It was lovely and quiet and of course apps and desserts were stellar

Decided to take my team here for our year end happy hour. Service was great overall - prompt, engaged and offered recommendations. Menu was expansive so lots of options. Everyone really enjoyed what they ordered - a solid bbq place with the added bonus of fun donuts! Even the burgers come on a donut bun! Only critique is pricing - prices are high. The brisket platter with two sides was $34.99 with four slices of brisket (1/4 lb). In Texas bbq places, this would have been $18 tops. With all the Main St options and being a college town, it may not survive at these prices. Definitely worth a visit though for quality bbq.
