The vibe is very close-knit with a lot of regulars, and everyone is welcoming the moment you walk in. It feels like a place where people actually know each other and are happy to have you join in.

If you’re looking for an authentic neighborhood bar with good prices, solid pours, and a laid-back atmosphere, George’s is a great choice.“

“TY for accommodating our party of 18 on a Saturday… Your fried calamari was so yummy, the flight of soup was a brilliant idea for someone who’s undecisive to be able to sample 3 different cups, my crab cake was so amazing - I’m drooling just thinking about the jumbo lumps of crab chunks!!! By the way hubby & I noticed the American Psycho decors right away as we’re huge fans of the book & movie. Last but def not least, the service was great even though there were 18 of us with some loud kiddos.“

“Came here for my first time. It was pretty late but service was good, they have great late night specials. I ordered the chicken wonton appetizers and loved it. For my daughter she got the kids chicken Alfredo and loved it. My entire were the ribs and string beans. The string beans were great the ribs were dry and the sauce was overpowering.“

“The chicken parmigiana at The New American Bistro is by far the best I’ve ever had anywhere! Highly recommend!!!“

“My wife and I went for the first time while visiting from Ohio. We loved the atmosphere and the food. The beer selection is spectacular. I cannot recommend the lingonberry ice cream enough, that stuff is amazing.“

“Excellent selections and fantastic service!“

“I would categorize myself as a somewhat fussy eater because I’m not usually enthused about food. This place is EASILY my favorite place to eat. It’s also the only place I look forward to hearing the specials and trying various things on the menu. I go there minimum once a week. Of all the times I’ve been I’ve only had 2 incidents where I was not happy with the cut of meat. When I brought the issue to the servers attention, they went above and beyond to make things right. I suggest making reservations because they are pretty busy from those that have also fallen in love with this amazing restaurant. The manager and all the employees are well mannered and offer top tier service.“

“Great food, great beer. Enjoy the changing, weekly variety of chefs specials.

Even after a few years, the food is delicious as ever! Overall it feels like maybe the niche selections have gone away, which is a bit of a shame, but what remains is as delicious as ever.“

Will definitely get cheesesteaks from here again, recommend if you are nearby and looking for a good quality cheesesteak“

“We travel in that area often. It's easy to get in and out. Plenty of parking. Only stop for breakfast. Never had any real complaints. Food is always well cooked and tasty. Good sized portions. We've had most items on menu. They have great omelet choices. I like the Farmer, with the meat. I would rather a traditional omelet with the ingredients added to cooked eggs and then rolled over. Nudy's cooks all together. Would highly recommend a stop at Nudy's.“

Some outdoor seating with heaters but also saw lap blankets.“

“Roost is the new kid on the block on Market St. in Wilmington but it's growing up fast. We had 5 people on a very busy Saturday night before a show at the Grand Opera House. There were several large tables and the kitchen was definitely stressed. The wait staff amd runners really shown through though and made sure drinks were refilled,etc. The food was excellent ,especially the short rib grilled cheese. Lots to choose from on the draft list and a very inventive cocktail menu are also highlights. Looking forward to going back soon“

“The Halal Cheesesteak Nachos? Unreal. Perfectly seasoned meat, crispy nachos, and melty cheese in every bite. It’s bold, flavorful, and seriously addictive.

The place has good vibes, generous portions, and you can taste the care in every order. If you're anywhere near Chester, make the trip. You won’t regret it.“

“I absolutely love the charcoal pit. Been a customer since I was a kid. But what is up with the new French fries?? The fries that you always had before were way better and perfect rather than these new godaweful things. Please change back to the original ones. These SUCK 🤢🤮🤬😡“

“Clean restaurant with fast service and delicious food! I have a severe food allergy which makes it hard to eat at most restaurants. However, they were very accommodating and we had the best server, Amanda, who made sure I was completely comfortable and taken care of. She was so kind, fast to answer my questions, and very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend eating here during your stay and be sure to request Amanda ☺️“

“This Grill is in The Amish Market. They have table service plus service at the Counter. I had breakfast on Friday and Saturday while getting my car inspected down the road. The quality of the food was not only good, but also tasty. The jelly on the Counter was also very good. Will be back. 🤗👍🏽👋🏽“

“Very nice and friendly owner and staff. Food always delicious 😋 Very clean cozy environment 👌“

“Family ownership taken over by a restaurant group with great results. We are long time residents and abandoned the place pre-covid. Now it's packed and lively and one of the very few later night options in an area where kitchens close at 9:00 pm. It's a large space and they are drawing enough of a crowd that they have set up valet parking. A very nice re-addition to the neighborhood“

“GREAT JOB LIBBY’s Restaurant!!! My wife and I ordered breakfast twice this week through DoorDash and we were BLOWN AWAY by how delicious the food was. The portions were enormous, the prices were great, and the food was just over the top FANTASTIC. We ordered all the way from Newark and the food was still hot and got to us quickly as if we were in Wilmington, and We probably have enough left over that we’ll happily be eating it for lunch as well. Thank You Libby’s. You’ve gained two loyal customers.“

“Wonderful trip to Greenville, great vibe and atmosphere!“

“Nothing really everything is good“

“Good burgers, grilled sandwiches, hot Italian sausages, pulled pork, etc. Sit up at the counter on a barstool or grab a table on their small cafe dining area. Attached is an ice cream shop for hand-dipped bowls, cones and milkshakes. Service is quick and the waitstaff here are down-home-diner friendly.“
