Welcome to Newark Country Kitchen: A Taste of Tradition
Nestled in the heart of Newark, Delaware, Newark Country Kitchen has been serving up a delightful blend of classic American comfort food and warm, small-town charm since 1983. This beloved local eatery is more than just a restaurant; it's a community gathering spot where friends and families come to enjoy great food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere.
Our Story
Newark Country Kitchen was founded by the late Bob and Mary Lou Smith, who envisioned a place where people could enjoy wholesome, homemade meals in a cozy, inviting setting. Over the years, their dream has become a reality, with the restaurant earning a reputation as one of the best-loved eateries in the region.
In 2015, the Smiths' daughter, Lisa, took the reins, ensuring that the family's legacy of quality and hospitality continues. Today, Newark Country Kitchen remains a cherished local institution, committed to serving the community with delicious food, exceptional service, and a genuine smile.
