“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.“

“Just stopped and got the buffalo shrimp taco and it was EPIC!!! Dave and staff are really great and the atmosphere is spot on. If your near booths corner check them out, also does catering as well.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We came in for a relaxed Valentine’s Day lunch and had an awesome experience. The food and drinks were fantastic. The butternut squash soup was rich and comforting, and the lobster bisque was smooth, flavorful, and felt like a little indulgent treat.

That said, as good as the food was, the service somehow still managed to be the best part of the meal. Attentive without being overbearing, warm, and genuinely welcoming... it made the whole experience feel special and unrushed. Exactly what you want when you’re out for a nice date.

Great food, great drinks, and even better service. We’ll definitely be back. 💚🍲🥂“

“Amazing experience at The Pear last night! Matt and Francesca were both wonderful. Delicious food. If you haven’t made it out here yet definitely book a res and go. Soooo good.“

“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.“

“I love the atmosphere at this quaint spot in North Wilmington. The service and food are the best! I highly recommend.“

“Wonderful food, highly recommend the grilled shrimp and the jerk egg rolls. Enjoyed the lobster Mac n cheese too! Old fashion drink was really good!“

“I haven’t been to DE in a while. Tonight I had a surprise night off so I asked my son if he’d like to have dinner. He recommended a new nice looking restaurant, Roost Kitchen & Pub. I checked out the reviews and was pleased. We had a party of 4 and Ashley was our waitress.

Her recommendations were A1. I ordered the cheesesteak bao bun snack and salmon with broccoli entree. My son and his friends ordered roost burgers with fries. He also got the sweet potato fries with a “marshmellow” dip (delicious). I ended up ordered an additional to go.

I ordered an herbal-sweet mocktail, very good. Clean bathrooms, industrial/city aesthetic black/brick with clean lines, and phenomenal service. We watched a few basketball games and enjoyed ourselves. We’ll definitely be back.

A very nice night back in DE, thank you for your hospitality Ashley!“

“Great food and great price. Such large portions and friendly people. The owner is so nice. Clean place too“

“Drove by Springfield Ale House a bunch of times before ever going in. We have been there twice in the last few weeks and I could kick myself for waiting so long to go in. Can’t wait to go back. Good selection of beers on tap and some excellent cocktails as well as a great food menu.“

“Meghan’s was busy when we arrived. Breakfast was brought out to us in minutes after placing our order. Waitress very pleasant and fast. Bacon 🥓, sausage, coffee and eggs were good. Personally I can make way better French toast. Highly recommend Meghan’s. We will definitely be back.“

“Very friendly staff. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. Enjoyed! Doug Cocking. :-)“

“I’ve always loved Columbus Inn throughout the years and highly recommend it for quality fine dining and a quaint enjoyable atmosphere. And the front deck is an amazing spot all year round.“

“This has quickly become my new favorite spot to eat. They offer unique breakfast specialties like gingerbread pancakes and pumpkin bread French toast, and the food always comes out fast. Prices are reasonable for brunch. One important thing to note is that they close around 3 p.m., so they’re not open all day—definitely plan to get there early. Also, there’s another nearby location called Nudy’s Cafe Glenn Mills, which can be easy to mix up when meeting someone, so make sure you’re headed to the right one.“

“Solid cheesesteak at a good price versus some newer places opening up. First time having their cheesesteaks today, tried Provolone on regular roll & seeded roll with cooper, both were solid.

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

“Great food and excellent service!“

“Had a wonderful Dunch at Snuff Mill today. Fabulous food, ambiance, and service! Shout out to Dorrie. I was able to get in at 3:30 but starting to fill up as I was leaving around 5pm on a Tuesday!... Definitely make a reservation for dinner! Some outdoor seating with heaters but also saw lap blankets.“

“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 🤢🤮🤬😡“

“Me and my husband wait all year for dollar margaritas lol so we stopped by Aston Applebee's and Randy was our bartender he was absolutely amazing. He's so attentive and funny we love visiting him while he's on shift he never skips a beat❤️“

“Used uber eats. Food arrived quick. Portions are huge!“

“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 ☺️“

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

“the food was really good. I had a new sandwich it was fried shrimp on toast, and my boyfriend has the steak omelet. Our friends had the chicken on a salad and we were all full when we left. Our friends go their a lot. Great service, and great staff. Highly recommend it. Food was delicious.“

“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“

“Authentic Pennsylvania Dutch / Amish-style comfort food
Rebecca’s Dutch Kitchen is a hidden gem inside Booth’s Corner Farmers Market. The food is homemade, hearty, and full of traditional Pennsylvania Dutch flavor, just like real country cooking.
Everything tastes fresh and made with simple, quality ingredients. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming—exactly what you expect from a traditional market kitchen.
If you’re looking for authentic, comforting, no-frills food that feels like it came straight from a family kitchen, this is the place. A must-stop when visiting Booth’s Corner. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Nothing really everything is good“

“Truly a wonderful little diner. All the menu items you can expect from a typical diner. There are plenty of vegetarian options but would not recommend for vegan or gluten free customers.
The staff was so nice and friendly. The atmosphere was very welcoming. They have a lot of regulars and it is very cool to see all the interactions between the staff and the customers. Such a great atmosphere.
Food was good. The scrapple was really tasty! Eggs were cooked well and loaded with cheese. Grits were delicious. All of the serving are of heaping size. Coffee is fresh and tasty and unlimited refills.
Prices are unbeatable.
Really enjoyed eating here and would recommend to anyone looking for a good breakfast spot!“

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