Must visit!!!! Food here is made with so much love, care and passion which you can definitely taste. This place has the best vegetarian salad that I have ever had, it’s so light and has really good grilled taste in every bite. We tried St Gerard pizza and Vermont rooster sandwich, everything was freshly made. All the flavors were so distinct and fresh. Would definitely love to visit again. We even spoke with the owner he is very polite and nice. He cooks freshly made food all by himself. Note- use the QR code on the table and order your food online.

We found this place while working in the area and decided to give it a shot. Located on Lock St in Newark. The outside looks inviting with music playing and seating outside. Inside is newly built with plenty of seats and a bar area. The menu is all online as is the ordering. I ordered the Vermont rooster sandwich which comes with fries .. it's a deep fried boneless chicken thigh on a brioche bun with lettuce tomato and pickles with bacon cooked perfectly. My buddy had the cheese steak which he said was really good and he's a bit picky. Tons of cheese and a horseradish aoli spread. They have salads and pizza as well. Don the owner cooks everything from scratch and it really shows once you dig in! Nicely plated and priced right. They also serve dinner after 4 pm. If you're looking for good food cooked with love and you're in the area stop in and I think you'll be glad you did.

This place was absolutely delightful, it was pretty empty when we went but that's because they just reopened. Me and hubby had the vailsburg and rest burger . Let me say that the burgers were delicious 😋 not a scrap left. The guy who waited on us was very nice and wonderful 🏅. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be back as a regular because the bar area was cute 😍 and they have outdoor dining area.
