Newark's Country Kitchen

Reviews & Tips

  You know that you're in a real small town restaurant when you're the youngest one and the only person not wearing overalls and a trucker hat.
  
  Prices were a couple bucks cheaper than I'm used to as you'd be hard pressed to find an entree that was $10 or more.  Even the steak and eggs were affordable as I believe were $8.  I vied for the country fried steak that came with a potato side and 2 eggs, which was only $6.99.
  
  Never had country fried steak that had chunks of sausage on top of it, which was an added bonus.  You simply can't beat that price and are guaranteed to walk out not wanting to think about food for a while.  Everything tasted delicious by the way!  That and 2 oj's came to $10.
  
  Local History lesson:  The town was originally founded as Georgetown by George B. Hollenback about 1833.  The name was changed in 1842 to avoid duplication of another Georgetown in east central Illinois.  The town's name was possibly named directly for Newark N.J., but more likely for Newark Ohio, itself named for Newark, N.J.
