While on the road traveling, we decided to stop for a bite to eat and this place looked interesting. When you first walk in, you get kind of a funky vibe which we liked. Unfortunately, since there was more travel ahead, I did not get a chance to try the libations, but they looked quite good. For food, I went with the Chicken Caesar Wrap. It was good. Met the need. No complaints. And the rest of my crew seemed to be happy with their selections. Onward!

Passing through for lunch. My team recommended to stop here. Good call. The carnitas tacos were about as good as any that I could get at a mom and pop Mexican joint. It was basic and straightforward. And it worked.

I hadn't been to homegrown in over 10 years so decided to try it again for a dinner with my sister. Went around 6 pm on a Saturday and it was not busy at all. We both ordered a beer which you can the QR code on the menu for (very cool to see new/seasonal brews) and our choice of the Mmm...OSA was very good! For an app we got the crabby fries and they came in a flower pot! Also so delicious and perfectly spiced. For dinner I got the Greek salad with falafel and my sister had the Peruvian chicken. Both were very nice sized portions and flavorful. I probably would skip the falafel though, I like mine to have a bit more spices. They had a blacked chicken option that sounded promising. It seems they also do happy hour so if you're in the area and want good brews and food this would be a solid choice.

Food was excellent, the farm stand burger was a big hit. The bacon was incredible and really made the burger. The caesar salad with shrimp was also great. Friendly staff and great service. Lots of interesting patrons, but all in all a good experience.

Home Grown Cafe on Main Street, Newark, DE, is exactly what its name states - a locally owned and operated college town foodery and drinkery dedicated to providing quality and fresh approaches to restauranting for the people surrounding the University of Delaware. My son, a senior at the school majoring in engineering, chose to go there when I stopped to see him on a return trip from Virginia to Bucks County. While it wasn't overly crowded when we walked in around 5, it was very much so by the time we left 90 minutes later. We sat in a booth in view of the bar, and were served well by the competent attractive server. My son ordered the Cheesesteak Banh Mi with Sweet Potato Fries, while I was enticed by Fried Brussel Sprouts appetizer and Beet Salad. Everything was very good to excellent, with special mention to the Vietnamese sammy and beet salad. While I love Brussels, I found this iteration to be strong on the expected bitterness, but lacking a little sweetness via vinegar or dried fruit to offset the dominant flavor. Leftovers were bagged for later consumption by the young lad. Given the majority of less than sterling food options in Newark, Home Grown Cafe is a welcome high point for this university community. Just a shame I only made it here in my son's final year at UDel.

This was a favorite of mine when I went to school at UD so when I had a wedding to go to in Newark I knew I had to stop by. The Buffalo Cauliflower wings are so so good and such a great healthier alternative to traditional wings. It is also a very large portion so even though it is a bit pricey, it is certainly worth it for how much food you get. I also had the Cesar salad which was great as well! Service was quick and very nice so an overall great experience!
