Klondike Kate's

Kate's caters to the needs of he college crowd, so don't expect anything extravagant on the menu. The place has a nice outdoor seating area and plenty of room inside for those hot or rainy days. Food quality is a bit inconsistent and the beer selection is run-of-the-mill. Service can be slow. This is a good place for a lunch, as long as you are in no rush.

This is a second visit for me. I mainly went back to have wings, which this time they didn't seem to be as big or tasty as my visit long ago. Service wasn't that great either! My wife had ribs and fries. We had to request new fries because they were cold. I'm pretty sure the fries had sat for a while before making it to our table. If we are ever back in Newark and want to eat this won't be on the list again.

I keep trying to like this place, and it just keeps letting me down.  The most recent venture was for brunch on a Sunday.  We got the tuna bites (or something like that) for an appetizer, which were okay but not worth the price.  I ordered the fish tacos and my girlfriend ordered a steak salad.  Fish tacos weren't bad but they weren't too good either.  Nothing to write home about...definitely had better.  The problem was the rice and refried beans that came with it.  The beans were so dry, paste-like, and looked like they were right out of a can.  The rice was dry and generic looking.  Terrible...eating the beans was like eating a brown clump of sand.  The steak on the salad was a disgrace.  Chewy, dry, grilled to oblivion, and just not good looking steak.  They also forgot the black beans on the salad.  The service there was poor too.  The waiter was confused and wouldn't refill my water.  My girlfriend and I decided to never eat here again.  

Other food ventures:  I've had the breakfast burrito...not good.  It also comes with the beans...terrible.  I've had a burger....soggy, but I ate it and took a quick shower when I got home.  The only good food items I've had are the boneless wings and the nachos, but I rarely order these items or order them only if there is a large group.  

Bar scene:  Don't even think about it.  A mess...and the line is around the corner.  It is just sweaty, tight, loud and filled with frat bros.  Go somewhere else.
