Home Grown is not just the name, but the Menu!! Every dish was so fresh and delicious! Even the bottled Strawberry Lemonade was naturally sweet, super refreshing and not sugary at all. This is definitely a great place for a tasty, freshly made meal. My next visit there I'll be sitting on the outdoor patio enjoying a mimosa for brunch ?
The menu has a wide variety of options (from burgers to Asian noodle bowls) with plenty of choices for vegetarians and gluten sensitive people. The atmosphere is casual and the artwork is fun, you'll often see a lot of the local college crowd inside. The Tot-chos are a MUST-TRY and stop by for happy hour!
Very good vegetarian options. Grilled eggplant steak was very yummy. Food is very good but on the pricier end.
This american restaurant is really nice. The service is on point, reservations are easy, the waiter is friendly and fast. The food is good. I recommand the salmon if you want to change a little. Otherwise their burgers are excellent, especially the dirty burger (the one on the picture).
I see why this has been rated best of Delaware for so long! An impressive variety in terms of cuisine and offerings. They have an excellent sense of balance within the dishes as well. The jerk tator tots have a fruit salsa and the Thai chicken and waffles has a veggie slaw. In both cases the heaviness/savory-ness of the dishes are nicely complemented by the acidity/sweetness of the sides.
Omg when I say those crabby fries SLAPPED!! They were so good! I got huevos rancheros. Also, buffalo chicken and waffles. I really liked the portion sizes and it was all under great prices. It hit the spot. Definitely a great brunch place.

Stopped at this place for dinner while driving home from a weekend away and what a find it was! Staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean and surprisingly not too loud for being full of college students, and the food is great! They have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options which is always really nice. The vegan nachos were delicious, can’t say enough about them! The chips stayed crisp despite all the toppings. Veggie burger was delicious, as was the curry bowl (forgot the actual names, sorry). The s’mores tots were an interesting and tasty idea but probably could’ve done with fewer tots and more Graham crackers and cinnamon. We’re excited to go back next time we drive through the area!
This artsy vegetarian friendly location is truly a large part of why I knew Newark, DE and the University of Delaware were the places for me. Both times I visited the university before committing, I knew for certain the place to eat was Home Grown. The large menu, adorably artsy atmosphere, and the versatility of the food perfect for any diet create an unforgettable experience!
Staff and management is always friendly and attentive. Most menu items have vegan options. They have good specials during the week - Thursday's half priced nachos and margaritas are my favorite. Definitely one of the best restaurants on main street!
