“Best Clam Chowder I ever had, so hearty. Had the pasta dishes, wraps, and pizza, can you tell we love this place! Definitely get your money's worth. Great friendly service. HIGHLY recommend.“

“I would normally recommend Six Paulpers, HOWEVER, last night's service was terrible. Not sure what the problem was. We first waited for quite awhile for a waitress, so we just went to the bar to get our own drinks. The waitress shows up, we order our food, and it took quite awhile to get to us. My husband got the French dip and fries, I got the cheesesteak egg rolls. The FFs were cold, greasy and had no taste. My egg rolls were burnt. I sent the FF's back, and asked to see if the chef would like to look at the FF's! She goes OK, but the chef isn't in, just the sous chef! And that was it! 🤣We had to go to the bar for another drink. We finally saw our waitress again for us to ask for the bill! Hope this was just an off night!😬“

“The owner, employees, and atmosphere are incredible. Everyone is kind and friendly and so very welcoming. If you like good drinks and company, definitely come to Twisted Irons! They all love dogs, too!“

“Wonderful atmosphere, great food & the music moves you! Check out this venue…stellar!“

“Last night was my first time and we had so much fun!! The bartender was awesome! Everyone was super friendly. Can’t wait to go back“

“The bartender Chloe (apologies for possible misspelling) is an absolute wonder. She is kind, funny, and remembers customers as well as their drinks. Awesome place!“

“We went out for St Patrick’s Day festivities, and to watch Dickens & Ballsworth. Our first time at Finnegan’s and we will be back!“

“Awesome little local bar with the best bartender (Bob's da man!) Great place to play darts, can't say much for pool bc always too many people over there but hey that's to be expected at a place whose sign clearly says Billiards... y'all need to be patient.“

“Such great bartenders Jules and Erin and a great atmosphere and great locals there“

“BRING YOUR OWN FOOD - so 5 stars. I can bring in some of my Nona's pipin-hot meatballs to snack on while I finish my brews. Or i could even run around the corner and have the chefs at Panda King whip me up a nice meal that pairs well with my shots of Makers Mark Whiskey.

STELLAR SERVICE - The vibrant personalities of the bartenders & bouncers alike create a warm and cozy atmosphere good for anyone who falls inside the 21-50 year old demographic. It's an amazing experience and i highly recommend it to my friends and family, daily.“

“Great food excellent service and fabulous atmosphere!! Highly recommend“

“Walking into this Trolley Square gem feels like a warm embrace! From the moment we stepped inside, the welcoming presence of Jacquline, our host, guided us to a comfortable table tucked away in the back. Her genuine friendliness set the perfect tone. Shortly after, the delightful Katie became our server, her pleasant demeanor immediately putting us at ease and smoothly starting our culinary journey. The menu boasted a tempting array of options, and we eagerly chose the kale Caesar, cornbread, and brisket mac and cheese to begin. Oh my goodness – each starter was an absolute revelation! For our main courses, my wife savored the delicate lamb gnocchi, while I thoroughly enjoyed the perfectly cooked salmon. Neither dish disappointed; they were both executed flawlessly. A thoughtful touch was Katie finding me a delicious non-alcoholic beer, a real treat since I don't drink. To conclude our exceptional meal, we shared a lemon pound cake that was simply divine. Without a doubt, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to this wonderful spot in Trolley Square. Everything, from the ambiance to the exquisite food and the extraordinary service, was truly on point.“

“We just had our welcome party for my daughter’s wedding weekend. Meghan, Jordan and Ashley were very easy to reach. They responded quickly and were extremely helpful as well as accommodating. The evening of the event went without any issues.The only change is I would have brought some zip locks for the kids to be able to take the extra cookies and brownies home as a sweet treat that was delicious. That is on me, not them. Wonderful place to have an event that you do not have to worry about anything on that night. They were extremely attentive and flexible the entire evening. Job well done Creamery - great time was had by all that attended“

“Great place to watch the games or to just hang out and throw back some drinks. Friendly bartenders.“

“Best dive bar around with fantastic bartenders and great food!“

“Whenever I need to unwind and I’m in Delaware, I come here. It’s like “Cheers” for my people. I’m in my zone, playing the jukebox, chatting with the regulars, and having a Jack. The owner “Lady” is the realest lady I know, she’s a mentor to many and a force in the community.“

“I've been commuting from VA everyday fr the past few weeks. Ended up working late and getting a room. Found this place after a did a quick Google maps search, and was IMMEDIATELY sold when a review said this bar reminded them of "Cheers".

BRIAN was the bartender when I came in. He was super welcoming and had great small talk. As someone who's never been here, he treated me like a regular.

CHARLIE, who prepared the food, also came out when he had time and was a pleasure to chat with. The food he made was really good.

The environment is what I look for in a bar. If I lived here, this would be my regular spot.. It's refreshing to find small places like this, where people care and build a welcoming environment. I'd come back, NO QUESTION! Cheers to another late work day!“

“Always be my family local bar. great regulars & guests. coldest beer in town, great jukebox & two pool tables. Go back to 1964, a simpler kinder time.“

“atmosphere, reasonable drink prices and the owner is handsome 😊“

“Locals spot, but welcoming to everyone. Isn't the most glamorous, but I guarantee that you'll feel at home.“

“I'm on vacation from Canada and went out last night with my cousin and ended up at this place. This is not somewhere.I would normally go but when in Rome.... At first when I walked in it reminded me of a bar that I've seen on Tubi and guess what.... I loved every minute of it. It was ladies night!!! The bartenders were friendly and quick.
The music was great and them drinks were amazing. Never really been a fan of the lemon drop, but they made me a fan last night and let's talk about the $8 Patron shots. Yes, please!!!! All good vibes, the whole time. Shout out to the birthday girl!!! 🥛🥛🥛🧉🧉🧉🍸🍸🍸
Oh, and the chicken wings are so good. Definitely a 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 vibe!“

“After searching for Mexican Food that tastes like home (Northern California), we finally found it! We had to drive 85 miles to get here but we will be back. ❤️❤️“

“My sister and Fiancé usually go Suite 4 Eleven for date night. One particular Saturday she asked me to go with them so they could see if this would be a great place to hold their after party for the wedding. Needless to say we will be booking a section in September for after the wedding. This is our new hangout spot. The DJ,food,hookah and professionalism of the staff is what absolutely sold it for us!“

“I like when Larry hugs me and when a crowd gathers around me at the foosball table because I'm so good.“

“the food and drinks were incredible but the staff was even better. I had lost or had my wallet stolen last night and the staff there took time out of their shift to get on their hands and knees and help me look. the manager was very helpful and pulled the camera footage quickly and we went through it together. Thank you Letty’s Staff for everything“

“A great venue, not far from the UD campus right on the river. Good food at decent prices. Their upstairs venue space is awesome. We are there monthly for the Vanguard Event and they go out of their way with custom drinks and great service. 10/10 would recommend!“

“We stopped in to Two Stones Pub at Kennett Sq after visiting Longwood Gardens. What a wonderful experience! The service was friendly and helpful and the food and craft beers were exceptional! The mushroom soup was the best we've ever had. Wish you had a location in Ft Myers FL!!! Thanks again!“

“Great friendly place for n people to hang out with“

“I make an annual stop here while visiting family and always enjoy myself -- usually too much! The drinks are good and the bathrooms are clean. Never had the food. Kat the bartender is awesome & makes the place comfortable-- she spoke to everyone that came in and if she was in the middle of a conversation and didn't greet someone it was because she already knew their drink and was getting it for them without a word exchanged!“

“best bartender ever super sweet jul ? will make this place a regular watering hole. chill atmosphere but upscale… not a ton of food choices but not bad, just need to change very rude inappropriate girl manager. she’s a law suit waiting to happen“

“I have hosted two parties at McCully's in 2018 for corporate functions. Nick rocked both functions with excellent service, reasonable pricing and flexibility. The relaxed atmosphere allowed everyone to kick back, laugh, sing and dance all while eating good bar food. The second party was in May with an expanded menu, my favorite new item was the mahi mahi tacos. Our bartenders Alice and Meredith were EXCELLENT! They had everyone laughing and engaged, mixed drinks quickly and deliciously and pouring one of their 40+ selections of craft beer. Definitely a great place to enjoy a craft beer, hot wings and excellent service.“

“I have been there 4 times already I absolutely love this place . I get the cinnamon french toast oh my goodness it is so good. I could not put my fork down . Everything was excellent!!! My new breakfast and lunch spot!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I love this place. My bartenders know what I drink as soon as I get to the door. Falyn or Shay. Some people that come in need to know the vibe. She really cares for the Patrons. Private events I love the staff and the detail. No it’s not food here but it’s several options around that you can bring in without a problem.“

“Big shoutout to Giordano’s!! My husband and I had a small courthouse wedding and had about 15 people come to dinner afterwards in one of the private rooms. We were promptly greeted and the manager came in to greet us as well and gave my 2 year old nephew a giant cookie to keep him occupied while we got settled in. All of the staff was very helpful and attentive. They made sure to meet all of our needs and double check that there was no alcohol in one of the entrees sauces and even had it remade to make sure for us. The bartender came over and helped us wrap up our leftover cake so we could save it for our one year anniversary as well. All around a wonderful experience. I haven’t been since before renovations when I worked there and was impressed with all of the updates. It is more modern but still comfortable and the food is absolutely wonderful! As a large group, we ordered quite the variety of entree’s and they were all wonderful! Thank you Gios for a wonderful day my husband and I will never forget!“

“Everything is phenomenal, wings, pizza, salad, burgers, steaks, fries, drinks, All.“

“nice place to visit friendly people bar made is very nice and does a great job 👍“

“Everything about this restaurant was great! The food was really good, the drinks were amazing (they had the best piña colada I have ever had, and I'm old), the atmosphere was fun but not loud, and they had a mariachi band playing at tables the whole time we were there on a Sunday night in a snowstorm. We left very happy! Thanks for a tasty and memorable dinner! We will DEFINITELY be back!“

“Bien bien bueno!! Las quesabirrias, los chiles rellenos! Y mi hijo comió los tacos de chorizo y carnitas. Bien bien bueno! Palomas y skinny margaritas! Enjoy! Por que nosotros si lo disfrutamos! Siéntanse afuera! Muy lindo patio! Nos tocó la Claudia y fue muy buena mesera! Nice Dinner!“

If we are in the area we will surely be back!“
