The News Room

(9 Ratings)
A celebration of American tradition

Enjoy some classic American fare in this spacious and friendly eatery. The seven dining areas are each uniquely decorated with an old school newsie theme with several sports games playing on the tvs. 



Reviews

Over rated

We had a party of six and the waitress was heavily pushing the Brie curds but they tasted like state fair funnel cakes, poorly deep fried. Then she went on to pushing the Berkshire Pork which three ordered. All were ove cooked and dry, I had Pepperd pork ordered med rare, and it came out over cooked, dry and tough. Overall, most were disappointed and not in faver or returning.


trusted the rating, disappointed.

Food was mediocre at best and had to wait forever for it to get served.


Worth a visit

I only stopped in with a colleague to drink beer and watch the Suns lose to the Trailblazers. However, this place is large but is split up into smaller areas - so it doesn't feel like a cavern. To the right of the main room is a sports viewing den with two dozen screens - you can see from any chair in the room. Will definitely go back and try some food next time.

American Food - GREAT patio and people watching!

Went here 5-24-08 with a large group (14) Service was fast and effcient, with awesome drinks coming out too! Calimari was quite tasty with some sort of pineapple-horseradish sauce that was TO DIE FOR! Food was prepared nicely, crowd was small for a Saturday night, but people watching was incredible! The bathrooms don't have a sign stating Mens/Womens, you have to look at the newsprint on the walls - felt like a unisex bathroom, where you could look into the other one. Cool? Creepy? You decide. Otherwise, a great place!
