Which popular fast food chains is Newark missing? Or maybe not so popular ones that you would want to be here? I’m thinking Arby’s, Long John Silver, where else?

Why bring in chains when we can grow our own?

Hilariously good local restaurants are really Newark's strongest point.
But also white castle.

Where are the Newark late night diner spots? There appears to be nothing, at least not by UMD. You’d think between the hospital, the colleges, and the court complex there would be something.

For real it is time for jersey to get some waffle houses. The argument against them used to be we had diners that are 24/7 but now that they aren’t a thing anymore we need Waffle House

I loved waffle house growing up in Maryland. It was one of my favorite hang-out places in my 20s. It was either a place to hang out with friends or have sunday breakfast with my dad

Is that only 24hr food spot?

Altas horas nearby is 24 hours too last I checked but yeah, COVID killed a lot of the 24 hour spots, it really sucks

We briefly had Pollo Tropical in the late 2000s / early 2010s but they closed all there NJ locations. QDOBA is very similar to Moes...

Covid killed alot of 24/7 places even most of NYC is dead after 12am now...even busy highway spots shut down after 1 or 2am on weekends...Hopefully that trend reverses after inflation goes down.

I moved a few years ago. Did it even kill the "suspicious yellow rice with equally suspicious sticky chicken that only copious amounts of hotsauce can fix" 24/7 Chinese restaurants?
sutisuc t1_iw4ia4q wrote
LOL I avoid Chinese restaurants in Newark like it’s my job so I can’t offer any insight on that one fortunately
CaptainTurdfinger t1_iw4jw75 wrote
Fair, but there's Fernandes for steak and 15+ places for rodizio. P.F. Chang's would be good though.
CaptainTurdfinger t1_iw4kmwg wrote
Hamburgão is bangin, but just not the same when you want to get 15 cheap little burgers then smell like you ate 15 cheap little burgers for a day or two.
CaptainTurdfinger t1_iw4l6jv wrote
Yeah, understandable. I definitely ate a lot of that cheap, shady Chinese food in my younger party years.
BTW, Chinatown in Harrison is your best bet for good Chinese food. Their sushi is great too, if not a little pricey.

I used to like them but they went way downhill if you haven’t been there lately
CaptainTurdfinger t1_iw4q3zc wrote
Yeah, it's been many years. That sucks to hear, they were the only good Chinese food within delivery range. I wonder if they changed owners or something.

That 5guys is always slammed. They tell you 20 minutes, and it’s an hour. During Covid when takeout and DD was huge, they had to-go orders on every surface available, it was insane.
I think Newark could benefit from one
Also I decided I’m getting 5guys for dinner tonight now, ha

I moved here around 2 months ago from NYC and was shocked at the lack of Starbucks locations. It seams like Dunkin Donuts has this town locked down like the mafia

Shake shack is pretty expensive though.
That would have to be close to the college.

They opened a new one in Edison a few years back but it closed rather quickly.

Just because there is one in Harrison doesn’t mean there can’t be one in Newark. It’s two different places

Wawa was proposed for 21, but a very silly lady campaigned against it because it would “bring prostitution” to Lower Broadway. It went to Belleville instead.
Nwk_NJ t1_iwoscng wrote
I hope so, bc it really sucks. Almost all former 24/7 spots are closed by midnight. Most 10 p.m. these days. You're right...even in NYC, and forget trying to find 24/7 diners. Jersey used to be full of them. Such a damn shame.
Nexis4Jersey t1_iwq0v77 wrote
I think once inflation eases some more next year you'll start to see 24/7 return on weekends...and by 2024 everywhere.

NEW York aside from the lack of late night options is back to normal and people seem unfazed by the higher prices.
Nwk_NJ t1_iwq2nuq wrote
I'm there pretty frequently. Will be there tonight. Back to normal on a few levels, but changed in others. Not historically, but as compared to the last 2 decades or so. It seems to have a little more grit, and a few more quiet corners.

I feel the grit areas only expanded from a few neighborhoods like Les or hells kitchen
