1. Caprese Chicken sandwich- delicious; get breaded chicken instead of grilled
2. Crab pretzel- it was fresh and exactly what you want it to be; I would suggest adding a little crab on top just because it gets lost under the cheese
3. Boneless wings with grain sauce and truffle fries- very good better than I was expecting
4. Skillet brownie- exactly as it sounds; came out hot and delicious

Had a good experience at Grain Craft Bar + Kitchen. The fried pickles and Teriyaki bowl were really good. Chicken sandwich was okay, and the drinks were good too. Overall, a nice place to visit.

I lived in Newark for years and it’s my visit time dining in. I had two drinks with a friend and one entree. I liked the food and drinks but you should definitely look at the prices when coming or plan to spend a little more than usual.

I cannot say enough about our experience at GRAIN in Newark, DE. My friend took me out for my birthday and told me to pick somewhere to go. I looked on Main Street in Newark as it is a great halfway point for us. The minute I looked on their menu, I knew there was about 10 things I HAD to HAVE! I got there early and was immediately helped when asked for a party of 2. It looked like there would be a long wait, so I said I would sit outside in their heated tent. I was approached by a man who had been cleaning tables, delivering food and basically working harder than anyone else. He scooted me to a table for 2. I am disabled but don’t look like it so I feel like he noticed that I needed to sit. He continued to help us all night. I later found out he was the manager- What a great showing of leading by example! Our server was ANDY. He was SO personable, and kind and catered to our every need! We ordered the POKE GUAC as an app, I had a BLUEBERRY LAVENDER MOJITO (actually 2 of them 🙂 )- HEAVENLY! For our meals Sue had the PLAIN NACHOS and I had the CITRUS AVO BOWL.- delicious! The food was amazing, the service was fun, that atmosphere is great and I love that the manager doesn’t expect anything of his employees that he wouldn’t do himself, as he was the hardest working person in the room! Again, ANDY was phenomenal…. The kind of guy you cheer for, and because of him, I wanted to take the time to write this review. He brought me over a free dessert because of my birthday. Sue & I shared it and couldn’t finish it! Between ANDY and the manager (I wish I would’ve gotten his name) made out experience to pleasant… We felt so welcome and taken care of. It was truly a special experience and I cannot wait to go back to try more menu items, although my meal was so good I would struggle not to order the same thing.
Simply put, GRAIN offered a great menu, great personalities and a great overall dining experience. We are bummed that ANDY is leaving to move to Florida, however with the action of the manager I have no doubt the rest of the staff is great as well. The manager sets the tone and he really does it right!
Will be back again…. soon.

Brunch is so amazing! Staff is super friendly. We got the coffee cake pancakes and breakfast skillet. SO delicious. Everything is reasonably priced- including mimosa pitcher. Used to come here when I was in college and years and years later and it’s still great.

Grain Craft Bar + Kitchen is definitely an excellent place to grab any meal. Their menu features food inspired by classic American dishes, which are not only tasty but also prepared with fresh ingredients. However, I do have some notes that could improve the overall dining experience. Firstly, the prices for the main dishes seem a bit high. Despite this, the restaurant boasts an amazing outdoor area that is fully equipped for seating even during the colder months. The servers are incredibly friendly, although they could be a bit slow at times. Nevertheless, this isn’t a significant issue as the overall atmosphere of the place makes for a fun and enjoyable time. In summary, the restaurant offers good food and a great atmosphere, but it is a bit overpriced.

Sorry people, no pics because the food came so fast, and smelled so delicious, that my husband and I started to eat right away, our Whiskey and Olé smashburguers which were amazingly good! We usually go to the bar, because it is easier, we don’t waste a whole table and it is easier to get drinks. And we had the nicest bartender who went through hoops to find our favorite beverage. They won another regular!

Grain Craft Bar + Kitchen can get a bit noisy, but the food makes up for it. They always have something new on the menu while still keeping a solid rotation of favorites. The beer selection is excellent, and the service is attentive and helpful. A great spot if you like variety and a lively atmosphere.

Order the salmon cake and the chicken cheesesteak . Felt that the cheesesteak was missing a flavor, but overall the food was good.
Great service the food didn’t take long to be served and the staff were very kind and polite.
To be honest I didn’t like the atmosphere especially inside you feel it’s more like a bar, and the smell of alcohol is just unbearable. However the outside seating was good, but in a hot weather like this week it’s not that great.

Good service, appetizers (deep fried crabby deviled eggs & grain grain shrimp) were pretty quite tasty & crispy. The Korean St tacos (pork belly) were also good, think the sauce kicked it up. But the Short Rib Stroganoff was disappointing, no flavor in the beef, sauce was watery, not creamy and also had no flavor.
I get one goes here to drink beer, but the sign out front highlights its brunch. Finally, had the old fashioned and lavender lemon drop drinks; they were okay flavor wise, light on the alcohol.
