Timothy's is less than a mile from Main St Newark and fairly close to the university campus. The restaurant offers typical fare along with a few nice alternatives (bison burgers, veggie choices) and a wide array of beers of draft. During nice weather, you can sit outside on the deck, overlooking the White Clay Creek. Aside from regular dining, a second floor banquet area holds 150 people for parties and functions.
If you're in the mood to relax and enjoy the company of others, or a 350 gallon fish tank full of fish from the White Clay Creek, the downstairs bar is a nice spot. If you're in the mood to play some pool, foosball, or other video games, the upstairs bar is available. Late night Dj and dancing is also very popular upstairs because of the spacious area available.
Favorite Dish: Bison Burger and Hot Wings are great here.

Built in 1851, this restaurant serves as a local hangout for upperclassmen, grad students and faculty at the university. The tavern offers a nice lunch and dinner menu, along with weeknight specials (all you can eat wings, half price nachos, etc). The bar offers a nice selection of draft beers and bottles, along with the usual mixed beverages.
On the weekends, stop by for live music upstairs. Arrive before 8 and miss the cover charge!

Delaware's small Mexican restaurant chain called La Tolteca, has a very good location in Newark. We stopped in for a late lunch of Enchiladas Poblanas including two chicken enchiladas with mole poblano, cheese, onion and rice ($5.99) and Special Lunch #7 which consisted of one quesadilla, enchilada, and a chalupa (5.99). The enchiladas were "fantastic" and "extremely satisfying" while the #7 special was also very good. With our meals we enjoyed a tasty frozen raspberry margarita and a lime margarita on the rocks ($5.50 each).
This Tolteca location is very deceiving but nice. From the outside it just looks like a small grocery store in a shopping plaza. Once on the inside you'll realize this is a very nice, and large restaurant. Besides the bar and seating area in the front, the rear of the location has a large dining room with an upstairs area including a 360 degree balcony. All very pleasant and modern.

Matilda's is similar to Outback Steakhouse in terms of menu and decor. The waiter there even has an Aussie accent.
We had pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches for $6.99 each (including fries) and Yuengling draft (only $2 for 16 oz and $2.75 for 22 oz).
The food was pretty good, the service slow.
They have 8 or 10 TVs in the bar area, plus plenty of seating, so it's a good spot to catch the game.

This 2 story tavern has been occupied by many different businesses in its long history, but has been known to students and locals as Kate's for sometime now. A great place to stop in after a university tour, or in the evenings for a good samling of the college scene. Very strict ID policies enforced during the school year to curb undereage drinking. I had some of the greatest times of my life at this watering hole, I still refer to it as my favorite bar.
Favorite Dish: Kate's has the best wings in town if you are looking for a quick appetizer or a meal.
