You have to admit, it is going to be insanely awesome when this place is filling Championship Plaza with smokey pork and beef smell.. And it will be much closer than going to Hill Country in NYC

For me, it will be heaven.

For my vegetarian gf, not so much.

I now feel obligated to try them out again

Wow! Edison Ale House is on my sh!t list! A family member is allergic to tomatos orders a burger says they are allergic (like end up in hospital) and they bring the food out with tomatos. Ok whatever send it back and the "new" food comes out with tomato seeds. fvck them!

That's just a sad lapse in customer service. I hope you said something to a manager

The Star Ledger's Dinosaur BBQ review
I believe that you usually wait to review a restaurant so that they can get their bearings, but who could honestly wait for this?

I hope to go to Dinosaur BBQ tonight for dinner before the game. It's right around the corner from Championship Plaza, right?

Any recommendations? Ribs? Wings? I love it all!

Unfortunately for me, the place was too packed last night. There was a 60- to 90-minute wait. So I had to go elsewhere.

Too bad. First Devils night game, rain washed out FanFest that could have distracted 2,000 people. You had a lot of things conspiring against you, my friend.

You got that right. The joint was jumping!

I walked over to Edison Ale House, and they had a 45-minute wait; and then to Brick City B&G, which had a 35-minute wait.

When all was said and done, I ended up eating inside the arena.

I'll give it another shot next time I'm out there.

I finally got to try out Dino yesterday. Gotta say I will be visiting this place in the future.

Will be coming to Newark for the first time in nearly two years for game five! What's considered the best restaurant around the arena these days?

Dinos is all the word these days

Depends what you want. Dino's good, I like Casa Basca (sp. ?) for Spanish. If you're feeling like eating a ton, there's Boi na Brasa for rodizio. The food at mmmBello's is better than average bar food and they have a huge beer selection. A couple blocks up is Je's for soul food.

[newarkdev01]

Ya eating before the game is all about how close you want to be to the arena. There are still 2-3 restaurants in the works for the surrounding block so I look forward to something new each year

Does anyone know what happened to Arena Bar? A friend and I hit up Edison Ale House immediately after game 6 on Friday and figured we make a tour of the bars right around the arena and walked over to Arena only to find it closed. I know there was a shooting nearby a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure why that would have closed them down. Anyone have any information on this?

Call them (say that you're just asking for information about hours). Their facebook page has had one or two updates since the shooting, but nothing about suspending operations or anything remotely like that.

A bar about 3 blocks down the road had the same thing happen. Shooting outside the bar late at night, and then never re-opened.

Now that bar was struggling, so we figured finances just made the place not worth re-opening. Arena Bar seemed to be doing fine though, so I don't know why they wouldn't want to re-open.

Have been going to Dinosour BBQ place and IMO it is the best place around the Prudential Center. The food is amazing and the pulled pork sandwich is awesome. The sides of BBQ rice and mac and cheese is what I get most of the time. The place is always packed and reservations are always booked. Book your reservation early in advance. Today it is booked and there will be a line out the door.
