Firebirds Wood Fired Grill: Steak, Seafood and Other Fine American Fare

August 25, 2015 by

At the Newark branch of Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, you'll find everything you'd expect of this local chain: glossy hardwood floors, softly lit stone walls, and decadent steakhouse fare. In fact, many Yelp reviewers have a hard time believing that Firebirds resides within a strip mall given its upscale aesthetic and high caliber cuisine. It does, though, so keep an eye out for the storefront when you get close.

Step inside to sink your teeth into juicy steaks, plump seafood, and other high end American eats. Locals highly recommend the coconut shrimp, which comes as both starter and entree. The main course version boasts tortilla slaw, mango habanero chutney, and a hearty serving of steak fries (the appetizer skips the fries). You can also opt for wood-grilled salmon, parmesan-crusted mahi, or cilantro-grilled chicken breast if you're not interested in steak. If you are, however, then try the bacon-wrapped filet mignon or the center-cut, pepper-crusted sirloin. You also might be able to order the slow-roasted prime rib if it's available.

Sixth and Pine: Where Comfort Food Gets an Upscale Makeover

June 9, 2015 by

Don't count out Sixth and Pine just because it's located inside of the Christiana Mall's Nordstrom. The big-name department store actually has a reputation for serving high quality cuisine in its in-store restaurants, and Sixth and Pine is no exception. Modeled after the quintessential '50s diner, Sixth and Pine recreates comfort food in a contemporary way that both delights and surprises diners.

Snag a red vinyl booth or a stool at the counter and browse the menu of revamped diner fare. Try the BLTA sandwich, which takes the classic BLT and adds avocado (plus whole-wheat bread). Or dig into the crisp roasted chicken served with garlicky fingerling potatoes, a far cry from the typical chicken tenders. Flat-iron steak, turkey chili, and cilantro-lime chicken salad round out the menu of modern American fare. Save some room for a classic dessert, perhaps the apple cobbler a la mode or the warm chocolate cookie sundae.

Jake’s Wayback Burgers: Where Burgers Are Well Done and Done Well

April 28, 2015 by

Jake's Wayback Burgers serves big, juicy, hand-shaped burgers to a happy crowd of loyal regulars, and once you try these burgers you just might become a regular yourself. This is a quick, casual burger joint, but it's got little in common with the greasy fast food places you might be used to.

Bite into a one of Jake's signature "cheesy burgers," each piled high with four slices of cheese, two all-beef patties, and served on a grilled, buttered bun. Add a few slices of bacon or some grilled onions, and add a side of chili cheese fries or beer battered onion rings. Wash it all down with one of Jake's hand-dipped milkshakes. Sip on a traditional chocolate shake, or go gourmet with chocolate mint or cafe mocha. In addition to the standard menu, Jake's offers a new, custom-crafted burger and shake every month, so there's always something new and special to order.
