New American Restaurants near Claymont, DE

“This place has got to be 1 of the best jems of Wilmington. I had the cowboy burger with fries for lunch and the black forest cheesecake for dessert and when I say impressed I mean it. Service was great very friendly. Will be back DEFINITELY!“

“This place is a great spot for happy hour or a date night. Its really sleek and cool place. The bartender here is great! The food is good. The have outside seating too. Try the caramel macchiato martini, you wont regret it. Also this place is open late on weekdays.“

“I tried the mozzarella as an appetizer and the Tenderloin for the meal. The mozzarella was very good. Between the peppers and topping that was a great was to start out. The Tenderloin was ok. The Gravy had a very good flavor but the meat itself i didn't think was that good. The mashed potatoes were nicely prepared and the asparagus was hot but still had a snap to them, which is just the way I like it. Add a nice bourbon to it all and it makes for a good meal. Cozy atmosphere to the place. Definitely worth checking out.“

“Our favorite restaurant in Wilmington“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best burgers in Delaware. Service is always exceptional.“

“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.“

“ymmmmmm food and we like it“

“First time here. Good food and service! Only 'ding' is alcoholic drinks were weak and, the vanilla gelato did not taste like it but more likely ice cream. Gelato is creamier than ice cream. And it was not a scoop but more like 2 tablespoons. For $3, would expect a little more 'gelato'. Overall, good experience and would try again.“

“They have the best coffee and the best breakfast in Delco! Love this place!!!“

“One of my favorite stops! I have loved everything I’ve ordered but my favorites are their speciality lattes or the chai tea latte. It has a super chill environment and is a nice break in my day. Highly recommend❤️“

“Had a great dinner with friends last night.... menu, as usual, was excellent... but want to especially recognize our server Kara...friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating... made a fun time even more so... Ask for her... you can't go wrong.“

“Great food and excellent service!“

“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.“

“Went for lunch with my son. We ate on the patio. It was cozy, quaint. Beautiful weather made it even more enjoyable. The food options were great; different from the same old same old. The waitress was busy but brought our drinks and food in a timely manner. Can’t wait to go back.“

“First time I came here, I was a little nervous, but the regulars are super friendly and the bartender is great!! I went there to read, and while I did get a lot done, it was great talking to the regulars.“

“Nice setting in the countryside. Lots of outdoor seating and dogs are welcome. The food was okay but I wouldn't recommend their Reuben. There was very little meat. Maybe two teaspoons at best...mostly sauerkraut and cheese. I searched my sandwich to try to find a little small chip of meat to give to the dogs. It was definitely cut so tiny and spread so thinly, that I couldn't even find any. The fries were awesome. Crispy and tasty. The bratwurst was good as well. They have live music inside as well which was a nice touch.“

“Kelly’s Logan House is hands down one of the best spots in Wilmington. The food is great, especially the wings — they’re honestly incredible, some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The rest of the menu is solid too, with plenty of good options beyond typical bar food.

What really makes it stand out is the late-night scene. Whether it’s live music, DJs, or just the energy of the crowd, it’s always a fun vibe without feeling overwhelming. It’s the perfect mix of lively and laid-back.

I also really appreciate that it feels safe. The staff do a good job of keeping things comfortable, and it’s the kind of place you can go with friends and just enjoy yourself without worry.

If you’re in Wilmington and looking for good food, great wings, and a fun night out, Kelly’s Logan House is a must.“

“Good Evening Google Family. I visited for the first time today. I googled breakfast spots and this came up. Originally, I was going to Bittersweet Kitchen in Media, but alas, no parking in Media. There is metered parking but no spaces were available. Also there was kiosk parking but I do not have the app that is required and I was not going to download it. I have Meter App for Philly, but not the one for Delaware County. I ordered take out at Antonia's. A nice young lady handed me a menu. I decided on 2 slices of french toast and turkey bacon. Salma, another nice young lady who smiled, took my order. It was $12.93. I was happy because I finally found a nice breakfast spot and it was inexpensive. What a FIND!!! I can't wait to tell AJ about this one. I received my food quickly and I also asked for an orange juice, a large. I was so hungry after trying to donate blood at the American Red Cross. This time at the Wawa Beverage Center in Media, PA., located at 1393 Baltimore Pike. My hemoglobin, once again was too low for Power Red. They tried two thumbs. The one thumb registered 8.9, so so low and the other thumb was 13.0. Not enough for Power Red. I didn't want to give a regular blood donation, I signed up for Power Red. So I bade them goodbye and then I left. I love donating Power Red since you only have to do it four(4) times a year. Salma, my server, was so so nice at Antonia's and she smiled. I gave her my business card and I asked her to follow me on my social media platforms. She said that she would. I gave her a $5.00 tip since she was so kind and hospitable. She smiled and was very happy. I wonder if she is named after the actress Salma Hayek. I paid my bill and then I left. This is a nice quaint restaurant. The set up and the inside of the place is very inviting. Antonia's reminds me of a quaint little inn that you see on social media. Also it reminds me of a cozy bed and breakfast. I enjoyed my experience here even though I opted for take out and ate in my car. I don't like dining alone in a restaurant. I will be back. I liked the service here very much. Not like IHOP IN UPPER DARBY at all!!!! Good night Google family, workout, be healthy, fit and Fabulous!!!!!!“

“Everything is so good and fresh! The dinner rolls are out of this world. So far we had the chicken pot pie, turkey, meatloaf and strawberry pie! Their sides are so delicious too especially the macaroni and potato salads! Thanks Rebecca for the affordable tasty food you bring to this area!“

“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 ☺️“

“So far I only order for delivery but the it was prepared and delivered in a timely manager.It was cook just right and the vegetable toppings were fresh( lettuce,tomatoes,onions) After ordering once I feel as though this is the go to place in the area for me so far for as long as Im in the area.Menu's with the delivery order would be nice though.“

“Great place to watch March Madness. Had Phillies on, then switched to basketball, then Sixers, Flyers, then basketball. Great job managing multiple games. John Daily 6/10- would have preferred real ice tea vs what appears to be iced tea mix. Bartender/waitress offered to switch out for free. Wings- sweet chili 10:10 On Point. Maybe a few wet naps Draft beer selection- great. Hammerhead 10/10 Nachos- 7/10 wish more pico but overall great with chicken and guacamole Ham/Cheese with cranberry- 4/10 too much ham, too little cheese.. no cranberry. Told out after the fact. Staff needed roller blades- Waitress was bartender… she did a great job! 8/10. We’ll be back“

“We recently hosted a shower for 90 people and used Difabio‘s for some large cutlet sandwich platters and a croissant salad sandwich platter. The food was amazing and the presentation of the trays was very appealing. Alexa and her team were professional, timely and over-communicated which we loved. Looking forward to using them for our next event and highly recommend you give them a try!“

“Very friendly staff. Food was good. They need gluten free bread.“

“We had my wife and her twin sister’s birthday party there with over 70 people. The event was well organized and the staff was friendly and accommodating. They were patient with our younger guests. Everyone said they had a great time. Thank You to Barnaby’s for a great job!!“

“I work closeby to this restaurant and had been wanting to give them a try. I never had African food before and I was curious so after work was over on Thursday I stopped in to try a lamb shank with yellow rice. It was so good! The lamb fell off the bone smoothly and the yellow rice was flavorful. I was afraid the dish was going to be spicy but they put the spice in a small container on the side. Service was friendly and fast. The price came out $20, which was not bad at all. Next time I will try either the dibi or the peanut sauce dish. 10 out of 10 Kenedougou Grill, thank you for introducing me to African food. I recommended this restaurant to my family and anyone who is curious about African food. Give it a try, you won't regret it.“

“Amazing staff! so welcoming and helpful!“

“I asked the bartender to make me a kettle one martini, and I asked me if he had blue cheese in the olives, he said no, but he would make it happen, and he did, I had two of them, had dinner with my children spent three hundred dollars and had a blast“

“Bartending is top notch! Five stars for the bartenders Derek and Paul. They serve me at the bar everytime I go which is about two weekends a month. Farmstead and crab tots are amazing! . I will say though the service of the staff has declined in the last year or so as far as the food running goes..They seemed to be short staffed now, and it takes a lot longer to get my food or I have to go up to the counter to get my food, when I used to be served. I feel like there are a lot more cover charges than there used to be so it doesn’t make sense that there’s less staff. Music is good as far as dj and bands go, and I love the brand logo so much that I’ve always wanted and looked for merch for me to purchase because I love this bar. Some hoodies or tshirts for sale would be dope!“

“Atmosphere is amazing. Lots of decor and TVs.
Service was phenomenal. It was very quick, friendly, and professional.
Food was good, could maybe use a little more flavor, but great menu selection. Creative options. Good prices.
Drinks were delicious, good selection and well made cocktails.“

“Celebrated my wife’s 73rd birthday here today. We’ve been meaning to try it for years. Today was that day and they did not disappoint. The entire visit was a pleasant surprise! And it was absolutely wonderful! Sorry we waited so long before trying it. The icing on the cake tho was our server, Aubrie. She was AMAZING! Her efficiency and warmth was overwhelming! If you come to try it out, be sure to ask for her. You won’t be disappointed. 👍👍👍“

“We had a fantastic meal. I have a food allergy. Staff went to chef to make sure what I ordered was safe. Loved the laid back atmosphere. Sat outside on a lovely day.“

“Awesome food and people. You won’t go wrong enjoying breakfast or lunch.“

“We just had a bridal shower there in May 2025. We picked Chelsea Tavern because it was in a central location for our 2 families to come together and celebrate. All I can say is that everything was fantastic! The service, the room, the attention to detail was perfect! The food was phenomenal! The portions were huge and tasted terrific! Madelyn was a wonderful hostess and Rob the best bartender and pancake bar chef! We couldn’t ask for a better day. Picking Chelsea Tavern was the best decision and the bride to be was so happy and said everything was exactly as she had imagined. Thank you to everyone involved, it was the most special day 🌸💗🌸“
