I went to Bummie's based on recommendations and I was not disappointed. I had the Reuben with onion rings and a fountain drink for about $20. They are known for their burgers but I would also recommend their Reuben. The sides are ridiculously good with large portions (1 side will satisfy 2 ppl). As others have mentioned, parking can be a challenge, but if you can get in you'll enjoy it.

OK, here's the bottom line on my thoughts on Bummie's: It's GREAT! I rate Bummie's on Main a solid 5. The facility gets a 4(it would get a 5 if they had more parking), the service gets a 5 (Carol is great), the food is fantastic, and the value is a 5. So what do we like to eat at Bummies? Well, the burgers are fantastic, their home cut fries the best, and we like their pizza, fried mushrooms and their flippin fish! Fact is, we've never had a bad meal at Bummies, and we have eaten there numerous times! It's our place to go when we are in the mood for their type of foods!

Love Bummies!! Drove from Zanesville with family and friends because it's just the best! We all had burgers but everything on the menu is next level! The 5 of us sat at bar to save time as it was busy dinner time. Didn't take long at all before we were digging in! Prices are very reasonable and service is "hometown friendly"!!

Generous serving sizes. Order of fries serves two. Burgers, sandwiches are big and very good. Prices are good too. Don't expect a fancy place. Wait staff was excellent, helpful and friendly. It was crowed on a Saturday afternoon 2:30pm and we had a group of eight. Food was served quickly and hot.

Typical bar restaurant, but with excellent food! Small and kind of cramped inside, but if you're lucky enough to get a table-get ready for a tasty meal! There's also a pizza shop in the back, so it smells amazing inside! I had a grilled chicken club with deep fried mushrooms-both were delicious! My husband had a burger and a bowl of potato/corn chowder. Equally delicious! Everything was fresh and hot and prepared to perfection! We will absolutely eat here again.

We stopped at Bummie's on Main purely based on Yelp reviews. Bummie's is a bit of a dive but with EXCELLENT food. I'm told that their original location, which burned down, was true dive bar but that this location (while upgraded) is still a bit of a dive bar. Not much to look at from outside but DON'T LET THAT DETER YOU. The menu leans heavy to burgers and sandwiches. My wife had a Reuben (her "go to" favorite) and she said it was excellent. I had the fried bologna and it was also excellent. My benchmark for a good fried bologna is the G&R Tavern in Waldo, OH. The fried bologna at Bummies was as good as the one at G&R and a lot closer to home. Now for the "icing on the cake" - their onion rings were incredible. Both my wife and I had the onion rings and we might drive back just for the onion rings. I didn't get a chance to try the fries but they looked awesome. On top of great food, the service was excellent. We'll be back (soon).

WOW... how have I never stopped in before??? What a find... this place is AWESOME. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but it rings the bell in all other areas. It has that neighborhood restaurant feel. The environment is super friendly with a great staff. Our waiter, Michael, is a Rockstar - the advice, recommendations, and service were fantastic. We got the mushrooms for an appetizer, which were homemade - not frozen - OMG, they are the best fried mushrooms I have ever had. I had the Reuben with onion rings - the reuben was delicious, but the onion rings were off the hook good. Wifie had Chef's salad, which she loved. Portions were large, and everything was priced very reasonably. This is the place to eat in Newark.

Heard about this place from friends, wanted to try since they were back open. Went on a Saturday night around 4:30ish. We had around a 10 minute wait, which a couple of bar seats opened up. Shortly after it was packed at the door. Recommend going early if you don't want to wait. Small seating area near the bar, but larger expanded area in the back. We had apps which consisted of the pretzel bites. They were fried and served with a cheese sauce as well as honey mustard. They were good. Crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. The fries and onion rings were great. The fries were had cut, nice crisp and soft center. Onion rings were huge! I ordered the Ragin' Cajun' it was amazing. Great cook on the burger. Plenty of toppings to make it all come together. Not too spicy, but had a bit of a kick that left you wanting more.

No place in Newark is better for a burger and beer. They have relocated after a fire over a year ago and less of a dive unfortunately. I lived their old place. The new place outside of downtown took over a previous thriving pizza joint. Parking can be tight! The lot was clear of debris. I sat at the bar with a friend and service was immediate and extremely friendly. The business was extremely busy around noon on a weekday. They list their craft beer on a menu board and rotate around eight. The front area has bar and booth seating. An area in the back and side tables. Everything was clean. I ordered a cheeseburger with side of onion rings. Also a craft brew. Most people around me had burgers. My friend ordered a Ruben. Our waiter said the owner was there when mentioning the old place. Food hit the counter in around 20 minutes. Everything looked and smelled amazing! My burger was juicy and packed with flavor. My onion rings plentiful and a delight. The beer was a perfect accompaniment. My friend said his Ruben rocked! Our waitress checked in on us. We closed out the bar and for the amount of food and quality we both felt the price was fair. 4.5 rounding up.

This place has a comforting vibe from the moment you step through the front door. Our server, Zoey, was outstanding! She recommended the BBQ Fried Chicken sandwich special which turned out to be a generous portion of comfort food. Delicious. The bologna sandwich and Rueben were top shelf diner-style meals. The sides of French fries, onion rings and coleslaw were excellent. They offer about ten draft beers and and full bar for cocktails. If you're hungry and want a terrific diner experience, check out Bummie's. Cheers!!!
