Krug's Tavern

The Best Burger I have ever had in my life.
Service was great as well.
First time eating there and will definitely go back.

If you haven't been to Krugs, make it a point to try them out in 2024. They've been around since 1933 which tells you a whole lot about them.

The menu is limited, but everything they make is amazing. If it's your first time.. the bacon cheeseburger is a must have. Add an onion ring/french fries combo and your drink of choice to wash it down.

Always have a great meal and great time at the last remaining dive bars in the Ironbound section of Newark.

Legendary
In business since the 1939s

But...

Grill chef doesn't wear gloves

Never again

Really enjoyed our time here! Casual sports bar with more open area/seating in the back. No frills, laid back. There is a parking lot, but it's behind the building! The parking lot along side the building is for a grocery store nearby.

The drinks were good, the food was awesome for the most part. Fries were whatever but that's just preference. Everything was served hot. The burger was awesome, cooked as requested! There is a note on the menu that the burgers take 30 min from order, which was worth the wait. Taking a star off though because they served us the burger 30 min in, and we didn't get our fries and pastrami sandwich for another 10 minutes after that.

After hearing about how awesome these burgers are we had to venture to Newark NJ to try ourselves. The end result? Nothing outstanding. In fact I found the chop meat to be flavorless. The burgers are HUGE. So maybe that is what the hype is about. But I prefer taste over size any day. Even the fries were lame. Sorry.

Burgers are amazing, onion rings were made the right way my wife loved her chicken sandwich

1973 fast forward to 2024. Didn't skip a beat or dropped the ball. Still the same as it was yesterday the day before the decade before and on an on. This truly is a much visit and enjoy the flair that you get with a burger or any other items on their menu. Service is like a well oiled machine. Nothing left undone. The atmosphere is of a time gone by. But nevertheless enjoyable. You must visit. Many of the places such as this have all but disappeared.

Authentic hole in the wall bar. The burgers are great. They also put out pickles and peppers for free. So tasty. I make it a point to try and stop by when I'm in town. The place is hopping at lunch don't be surprised if see pd, fd, etc eating there. The service is good as well

Reasonably priced and deliciously massive burgers. What more could anyone want? The burger fell apart as I was eating it, but in a good way. The fries were also pretty good. It's about a mile from Newark Penn Station, and a pretty nice walk too. It was a good spot to catch up with a friend over some beers and giant burgers.

Excellent food. This is a pretty cool dive bar with some of the biggest burgers you'll find in NJ. All hand crafted marvels of meat (pause). Everything is made to order and you can taste the passion in each bite. Good service, very attentive staff, and they make you feel like a regular. Definitely glad I tried this spot out today and can't wait to return.
