Yesterdays Pub - Newark

Stumbled upon this unassuming restaurant last week. Have eaten there twice since. Great food, friendly service nostalgic environment.What seems like just a little ranch house with white siding is a cover for the blast back in time once you enter the front door. Impressive, massive, beautiful antique bar greets you. Vintage antique kitschy decor scattered on the walls and bar kept me entertained just looking at every nook and cranny. The dining room with bentwood chairs with red white checkered tablecloths remind me of the original Buddy ‘s Pizza in Detroit.Now on to the food- The awesome burger truly is awesome. Cooked perfectly and full of toppings. We were fortunate enough to get the last order of crab cakes they did not disappoint! HUGE chunks of crab absolutely delicious. Rueben sandwich had shaved corned beef vs giant thick slices which I loved. Homemade Clam chowder is the best I’ve ever had. You can taste the love it’s made with I bet it’s a 100 year old recipe it’s that good. Can’t wait to go back and try the French onion soup everyone raves about.

Amazing homemade food! Great eclectic little joint that anyone looking for a unique place should go.

This is the best small family restaurant in Newark! The staff was attentive, the decorations were impressive, and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the ham and bean soup with cornbread, and the beans were seasoned perfectly, packed with plenty of ham. For dessert, I had the bread pudding with cream sauce, which was simply amazing—just perfect. I learned that it was a recipe that's been passed down for 100 years. My friends tried the pork chops, and they were exceptionally seasoned—so tender that you could cut them with a table knife. They also had the peanut butter cake for dessert and claimed it was the best cake they had ever tasted. The restaurant closes for a few months after New Year's, but I can't wait for it to reopen. I will definitely be back!

Yesterday, I visited a charming pub that felt like a lovely restaurant. The atmosphere was friendly, the service was excellent, and the food was absolutely delicious.
