Krug's Tavern

The Best Restaurants in Newark, New Jersey | Eater NY

"Opened in 1932, Krug’s still has the classic neighborhood shot and a beer feel — but it’s much more than that. It is a great sports bar, without looking like one. Maybe the widest cross section of Newark walks through the doors here to drink and eat, most famously for what’s considered the best burger around, cooked on the small tabletop-sized griddle at the back corner of the bar. Go full Jersey and order the 12-ounce burger topped with grilled Taylor ham and cheese." - Hank Zona

"I had the Taylor ham cheeseburger at this 1932 Ironbound-founded classic; topped with Taylor ham (pork roll), it adds a savory note unlike bacon or ordinary ham, and the patty itself is a hefty 12 ounces — a distinctly New Jersey bar-style burger." - Robert Sietsema
