Reviews for Belgian Beer Cafe in Newark, NJ
You expect airport food to be overpriced and average in quality. This place is ludicrously overpriced for how low the quality... is. To start with, the service was appallingly slow. This wasn't the server's fault ? they're clearly understaffed ? but it's aproblem when people have flights to catch. I ordered moules-frites. The server looked confused and asked if I meant"moolay"-frites. I nodded. A little later, while I was waiting, I overheard someone else asking after their own moules-frites.The server said they'd check on it. It arrived shortly afterwards, apparently with the cream curdled badly enough that it wassent back. (The customer declined to order something else and just left.) Mine eventually arrived and, lo and behold, the creamwas indeed curdled. When I inquired about it, the server said it's how it's supposed to look, but he'd ask. He came back andsaid he was told that that's just how the cream turns out. I pointed out that it shouldn't, but I was hungry and I didn't havetime to wait for something else, so I ate it and paid the $24 (!). I recommend you avoid falling into the same trap. At leastthe fries were fine. Read more
Only few restaurants at this terminal (after security check), so ended up having food, otherwise wouldn?t visit this restaurant
Our server is Emely who is absolutely brilliant! She is politely, helpful, attentive and friendly. She would give... recommendations but not pushy at all. The wagyu beef burger is cooked just right. The beef is tasty, juicy and yummy. Thebrioche bun is soft and the fries are so crispy that I can?t stop eating them. Sausages with potato salad are delicioustoo. All in all, the service is excellent and food is as good as the dishes served in a nice restaurant. Read more
Good airport food. Awesome beers save the day! Beer prices not on the menu. Ripoff.
Unlike an earlier review suggests, as of Jan 2019 the plates are ceramic, and cutlery is metal. This place has been down-voted... into oblivion on Maps to the point that it doesn't show up even if you "zoom in and enhance" to the point where you can see theoutlines of individual gates. It's also one of only two sit down places in the B50-57 area, so it's not like you're spoiled forchoice. The steak in "Steak Frittes" was done.. /well/.. outside any reasonable well-doneness scale, but still edible. Howeverdo not, I repeat, DO NOT ask to replace fries with mashed potatoes. You might be imagining a smooth and creamy delicious Belgianstoemp.. What came in a separate bowl was literally some mashed boiled potatoes.. with nothing else added. No butter, no cream..not even salt. Just a sad pile of rough, dry, tasteless starch chunks. On the positive side, I now have a revenge fantasy ofwatching the chef, who mashed those potatoes, eat them without having anything to wash them down with. Read more
The margaritas here are massive! ???????????????????? and not overly priced. Cute place for an airport restaurant. I ordered... the charcuterie platter. It came with sweet cornichons and some good mustard. It was great. Very happy with the service here.The food looked good! Read more
Good beer selection here, and a nice enough space, but.... prices are high, even for an airport I feel. Draft beers clocked in... at $13.50, and they don't tell you those prices on the menu. Food was expensive as well. My fries were fine, but cost too muchat $8. The woman next to me found two hairs in her burger. Read more
Bartender used a manual punch in to charge my card $4027.44 for 2 beers. I discovered the charge 14 days later after returning... to the states. I wouldn't recommend this location unless you want to be robbed Read more
