Reviews for Grain H2O in Newark, DE
We called on a Saturday night to see if it was pet friendly and got a welcome on that. They were also closing early (red flag)... because it wasn't busy. Plenty of parking, outside seating available and 2 bars inside. Everything was sticky. The menu wassimple with some decent value offerings. The draft beer and ales were fresh and cold. Fries with cheese sauce and crab meat arethe best quality of the items we ordered. Everything was OK, but attention to detail was lacking. Burger meat and chips tastedstale, Caesar salad (photo); lettuce was fresh, parm was the pre- cut large flake type and had at some point dried out, no blackpepper, and it wasn't tossed before service. Fish and chips (photo) has fresh filets, but little or no Batter. ? Lobster rollwas traditional with a generous portion of chopped lobster meat and a side of melted butter. We were seated outside and theyprovided water for the dog. Pavilion seating had nice fresh air and people watching available. Also got an uninvited guest(photo). Would not recommend. Read more
Grain was launched in 2015 by the O’Donoghue and Mikles’ families as a desire to create a warm inviting place to meet... friends and enjoy a shared experience of contemporary American fare. The concept is a casual and energizing space wherewell-crafted food and drink happily go hand-in-hand. Worth a visit, nice atmosphere, good food. Read more
They have various seating areas and we loved the food and service by Sinclair …. They even have a heated area with several... high tables. We had the Hangover and The Grain burgers with side substitutes. Read more
Had a Peewee hockey team lunch here. Let's just saw we brought the madness. The staff was courteous and did an excellent job... sorting out all the orders. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was great will definitely go back again next time we'rein the area. Read more
May 2021 Wonderful beer selection and they have a handy guide that shows where beers fall on the bitter, sweet, fruity, malty... spectrum. Great brunch menu but we opted for a couple burgers. Burgers were good and I loved the jam and onion roll, but Ifound it to be nothing special, just an average, good burger. A bit expensive, too, at $14 for an average burger with chips. I’ll come back but will try something else. Great service, though. But after drinking my canned beer, I noticed that itwas 4 months past its due date, so I was not happy about that, but they did remove it from the bill. Read more
First time visiting and we were not disappointed. The food was awesome and our server was attentive. The crab pretzel was huge!... Just ask for extra Old Bay on the side. The chicken and donuts were good. Next time I am going to ask for the honey glaze on theside, my preference. We also got the fried scrapple. My daughter liked them. She also got the apple crumble pancakes and shesaid they were very good. Read more
Short and succinct review ! Good and diverse collection to beer on the tap as well as bottles ! 3 separate seating areas,... outdoors, bar area and an indoor area with live music ! Limited food menu . We ordered a crab cheese fries : Server on a bedof cheese with thick cut fries and topped with crab meat and cucumber. Taste : Too cheesy for our liking but cheese lovers maydig it . Lobster Roll : Best dish of the day/night , lightly seasoned lobster served on an open roll and server with fries !Fresh lobster but the portion could have been better . Turf Tacos Chicken - Nothing special , 3 tacos with chicken and greens,better off eating at any taco place . Don’t order this here . Chicken Cheesesteak: Again a little seasoning required for ourpalate but the portions are good . But have had better ones at stalls in Philadelphia where they put some sauce too. Overall ,great for beers , not good enough for food !! Read more
25 Jul 2022: solo lunch. Black bean burger fries, and pomegranate margarita ($25 total). The black bean patty was interesting,... the patty seemed to be made with different black beans, I liked the taste. Fries were good. Margarita was mediocre, a little toosour. Nice place overall, courteous staff. Overall recommendation: yes, but towards expensive end. Read more
