Lacey NallaJuly 10, 2016The vegan nachos are AMAZING!! Also, the Banh Mi with seitan was very yummy, too.
- One of the best gluten free menus. Their homemade gluten free bread is awesome - getting to order a GF grilled cheese out is something I've missed! The Bahn Mi is also great w/ the GF bread!
ᴡ WilliamsApril 14, 2016The veggie burger is the best I've ever had hands down.. I order it vegan cemita style on a ciabatta... And the fries addictive and heavenly!
Shauna GollerMay 1, 2016You must have the Korean cauliflower wings. Also the veggie burger was incredible!
Aubrey SamborAugust 9, 2016Lots of great vegan and vegetarian food, and an awesome beer selection too!
Green apple salad with rare tuna is very good. The owners are really cool. #eatlocal #netde
The best grilled cheese ever! Every time I come I think I'll try something different but then end up getting the grilled cheese anyway because I love it so much!
The vegan boneless "wings" with the lemongrass sauce are ridiculously delicious! I could eat it daily!- Their gluten free menu is the best! They now offer gluten free bread on their sandwiches. They also use it for their flatbreads, which are awesome.
Sue Ehler PicciottiAugust 1, 2012An eclectic healthy menu...Lot of fresh herbs and creative dishes made with such amazing flavors...For those that have a create palette and appreciate good food!
Marie ChaApril 9, 2013It's good for the vegetarians and vegans out there. Not great but definitely an option. I usually get their falafel wrap~!!
Élise RodgersAugust 30, 2012Order the cook brie with sweet walnuts and fruit - you will be glad you did even if you don't like Brie… Even if you don't like cheese… Even don't like food...
Roasted veggie flatbread on the starter menu is perfect for lunch. So yummy!
Chuck DykeNovember 8, 2011One of the few restaurants that offers so many vegetarian options ... food is great and you can sometimes hear some great live music as well
My favorite place on main st. Their lunch box deal is great!
Angel ChanelJuly 24, 2021They card adults.....like working not in college pretending to be adults adults🙄🙄. Newark literally has nothing open late night and this is one of the few places that has quality food.
As if we were in the 1980's in the middle of Texas, Homegrown does not allow dancing at their venue. They bring in great bands and have reasonable drink specials but they have lost their charm. Congrt
Ashley CarterOctober 31, 2011Get the apple wrap and add chicken! MMMMMM!!! First time here and now it has definitely become one of my favorite places to go!!!
Just moved here from New England and I absolutely love it here. Good tunes, good people, great bartenders
Get the American create your own with seitan and vegan bacon & cheese. GREAT.
Stop by at happy hour and observe a handsome bearded gentleman reading wine whilst drinking poetry
Robert SchraderAugust 24, 2012The grilled cheese is amazing! Definitely my favorite restaurant on Main Street.- Kathy NowreySeptember 7, 2015
I've changed my mind about the music! It's pretty great! Also try a Golden Monkey with the long hots.... Mmmm
- Homegrown used to be a lot of fun. I like the food and beer selection but the bands they have play there really suck.
- Come here if you love a Drunk Campus crowd especially on Fridays/Saturdays. Food is nice though
Put the crab fondue in your mouth and prepare for bliss.
For brunch, "The Best B.L.T, ever" lives up to it's name. Try it!- Chris DahmsOctober 13, 201310 mile and 7 mile run respectively getting ready for philly 1/2 marathon. Good food getting oyster mushroom omelet.
- Order the powerhouse and feel amazing. Order a stout or porter and you will feel even better. Read more
