We had a wonderful New Year’s Eve meal this evening ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Coming from Vermont staying in Newark a couple nights it was within walking distance of our stay. I love the name as I live near Burke Vt.
We loved our visit and food we went 2 nights in a row. The food was amazing. We had prosciutto pizza, lamb meatballs, tomato pie, and chips. It was the nicest food we had in America. Very clean and cosy atmosphere.
The tavern offers quality food and a lively, albeit loud, atmosphere. However, service becomes inconsistent when the establishment is busy, as servers appear to struggle with the demand. The dining experience would likely improve with additional staffing or enhanced training for the serving staff.
Came for an early dinner at the bar and had an espresso margarita, sliders, and fries. The espresso wasn’t bad (7/10 bc I’m not used to a block of ice in my espresso martinis). The sliders were delicious, cooked to a perfect medium rare. Everything served hot and tasty. Since it was early (around 5p), the restaurant was pretty much empty so I can’t speak much on the atmosphere. However the space and decor were very cute, would def come back.
Excellent food and very attentive service! The place has a European feel to it and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcomed. The Moroccan lamb meatballs are absolutely out of this world. I'm glad I picked this place out of all the other choices in the Ironbound section of Newark. Great atmosphere ! Thank you!
How can this place not be a 5 star?! The service is friendly and helpful. The pizza crust and toppings are great ( hence half eaten in pic). Look at that chicken sandwich!!! I am not from the area and admittedly was not sure of the area. I was pleasantly surprised the restaurant was safe, clean, all the clientele was wonderful. A surprise home run!! Give it a try!
Outstanding experience from start to finish. The service felt genuine and welcoming, the European inspired ambiance created a cozy vibe, and the Moroccan lamb meatballs were bursting with rich, unforgettable flavor. Easily one of the best spots in Newark’s Ironbound area.
Burke's is a gem to say thr least. Obviously those who were in the know didn't let me in on what amazing food and ambiance. The shrimp with sauce...tasty. My chicken sandwich with slaw was flavorful and last but not least that blueberry cheesecake... My words will not due it justice! Definitely will be back great staff and treated us like we home.
Ordered the sliders… so good. Also ordered the espresso martini. Perfect. Highly recommend. Service was on point. No waiting .. was greeted right away. Will definitely come back when im in the area. Atmosphere was lively. Lots of chatter, music but super relaxed.
Great food and service. Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices. The pizza was great and the wings were outstanding. Also had the fish and chips which was killer too! You won’t be disappointed!
