The first time I ate at Home Grown I was not at all happy. The food was tasteless and over-priced (I ate some vegan dishes). However, whenever I go here for brunch I am always delightfully surprised by the delicious vegan omelettes they make. This is my new favorite breakfast restaurant- where else can I get a vegan omelette in Newark? :) I don't know how the good breakfast dishes did not translate to my dinner plate there; maybe the chef was different.

I had the vegetarian burger with cheddar cheese and the chopped salad along with a $2 margarita. The food was good and my server was nice.

They handled my eating style beautifully! I eat no gluten/or grains of any kind, no dairy, no nightshades ( tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant etc). No big deal, they substituted what I could eat! And it was very good!

Really liked this place. It was the first time here and they did not disappoint. Great vegetarian selection also. My vegetarian friend was pleased. Try the dirty burger in either vegetarian or regular...

This place is a bit far from me, but absolutely worth the drive. I had the vegan BLT, and liked it so much that I wish I had ordered another to take home. The buffalo cauliflower bites were superb! And you really can't beat a bottomless, build your own Mimosas - they have a bunch of different juices that you can choose from - for Sunday brunch.

Great service and varied selection of bottled and draught beer. Consistently well prepared, high quality food on the Sunday Brunch menu.This was the first time that just my wife and I were there. Usually we meet and eat with our daughter and granddaughter here. Their absence took some of the bloom off of the rose for us. A little nit-picking follows.The room was unusually cold but it was an unusually hot day. My "over easy" eggs were "over hard". But I didn't want to sit in the cold and wait while they re-fired my order.

Excellent vegan breakfast burritos. Also EXTREMELY clean and super efficient over and above covid-19 precautions.

Our server Matt was fantastic! We had brunch, including french toast, the homegrown breakfast, and bottomless mimosas. Our food was out quickly, it tasted great, and our glasses were rarely empty. Will definitely be back.

Home Grown is great for vegans. We’ve gone here a few times in our first month in Delaware. They are great with kids, have an amazing brunch menu and awesome apps for vegans.UPDATE: Added some photos

Lots of space. Interesting modern decor. Friendly staff. Music that makes you wonder what the name is. Top tier food options. Interesting cocktails. Enough variety to find what you want. Great location on main Street. Easily accessible.

Great selection of tasty vegan food. Had a hard time choosing between so many delicious options. Reasonably priced.

This place has a bar and serves many different kinds of food. The food I have eaten here ranges from good to excellent. However, the prices here are higher than the average restaurant in the area. A person could easily spend $20-30 on a meal here. The Mac and Cheese here is excellent.

Happened to visit this place during a late night craving episode. We were looking for a vegan option just for the night and this was a perfect spot. The staff was courteous and friendly, the ambiance was cosy and the food was pretty good too. Parking will have to be parallel parking on East Main Street. Have tried out around 3 dishes so far and all were good. Will update as we try out new ones. Will definitely recommend this place.
