Restaurants in New Castle

“The Mercury Café is a lovely vegetarian café/restaurant in the charming historic town of New Castle, with plenty of vegan options. We ordered the vegan Pulled-Oat “Pork” Sandwich, which was excellent. The cocktails were great too. Updated from previous review on 2025-11-29”

“Staff is friendly. I ordered flounder and it was cooked while I waited. He threw in a Wing too because I originally wanted chicken but changed my mind. It was a very tasty and fried well, and not too salty.”

Everyone there wants you to have a great meal/time and it shows. I am thankful that they are here when the seafood cravings hit!!!!! Much love Lestardos!”

“This is not a WaWa. Just a family run convenience store at a gas station which is fine. As the for the KrispyKruncy Chicken, they make the best when compared to the other KrispyKrunchies. This place is good. They make the chicken fresh.”

“This is an awsome hot dog house, the food is simple , delicious, and decently priced. Its a staple of delaware where you get a dog any style, cheese steaks, fries soda. With a smile. The staff are very friendly .
The only issue is that it is a very quaint place, with bar style seating no booths.
Not small child friendly”

“Es súper bonito y uno se siente cómoda y cómodo y entregan rápida la comida y bien organizada 😋☺️☺️”

“We loved the food though the setting is in a very crowded farmer's market. We do not like any Indian restaurant in the north of Delaware, but this one proved to be very consistent in taste in the last 3 times we tried lunch here. Thali is our favorite”

“We have ordered many times, but never eaten in. The food is amazing! We plan to eat in soon!”

My cashier was very friendly!

“Absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Best Mexican food in the state!”

“Without a doubt the best restaurant in Delaware. The pierogies, nachos, crab cakes, and burgers are 10/10. The service is awesome and Patty is the best!! Super friendly and quick service. The vibe in this place is awesome too- you can’t do it justice in pictures. Come check it out!!”

“R-C deli is the best”

“Absolutely delicious! I ordered the brown stew with peas, rice, and cabbage lunch special, and the portion was perfect. The flavors were incredible—especially the rice, which tasted like it was cooked in coconut milk, adding to the authenticity of the meal. I also tried their beef patties, and they were just as tasty. I’m officially hooked and can’t wait to come back and explore more from the menu!”

“Food is so good. It’s really hard to find good Chinese food. You have to try the Rangoons-cream cheese and crab. It’s an appetizer so wonderful. Enough for two Friendly service. Take out only”

I was getting hungry and thumbed through my phone and New York Chicken caught my eyes😎 I have never had food from there before so I asked my daughter to go to this restaurant!! Everything from the food 🥘 to the staff to customers was amazing 🤩 I will definitely 💯 be ordering food from there every time I am in the area 🥰 Diane Wright aka Babyydoll”

“Cakes, cookies and sour dough are all delicious!”

“Coming from Philly we expect certain foods to be a certain way and 3D’s fit that bill. This place was recommended to us by several people and I was not disappointed. Food is fresh and good ALWAYS. We are slowly working our way through the different foods and don’t have one complaint so far. Thank you to everyone who recommended and thank you 3D’s for the deliciousness ?”

“I've been ordering pizza 🍕 from this place on my lunch break and it's really good but today's cheese steak combo was even better I recommend for a quick stop”

“I always come to Sunset Deli but this particular day I ordered a Turkey sub and it was soooo good. Not that I was surprised but I called the next morning to give my hats off to the chef. The owners are very nice and it's always good conversation and laughs. We enjoy the breakfast sandwiches wayyy better than the WaWa..lol”

“The hot wings are spectacular, consistently extra crispy as ordered.”

“Great food, great customer service, love going there.”

“There are not too many places in Delaware that does a hoagie right. This place is a go-to for game day or any time you want a delicious hoagie. They are nice folks and courteous. Standing room only. Get in, order, wait 10 minutes and get out!”

“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.”

“We randomly stopped at the New Castle Farmers Market on a drive elsewhere and randomly happened upon Los Jarritos and thought it was some of the best authentic Mexican we’ve had on the east coast (don’t you love it when that happens?).

We split a burrito with pork and green sauce and a chicken tamal. The burrito was better than the tamal but we still thoroughly enjoyed both.

The pork in the burrito was exceptional - and the red and green hot sauces were an ideal complement.

Chips and salsa were also delicious - can’t tell if they were included or not but our total bill including a Mexican coke was less than $16.

Stopping at this flea market felt like a portal to another world for us out-of-towners, but we enjoyed the experience and would happily go back to Los Jarritos.”

“Went last weekend and was pleasantly surprised at the assortment of items on the menu and variety of drinks and snacks to buy.

The sushi menu is huge and very well detailed and easy to understand! They had no problem doing substitutions which is amazing!

The prices were better then alot of other places. I will go again soon!”

“This establishment is highly accommodating to vegans such as I with their delicious hot chocolate at no extra cost to bear plant milk (unlike some of those unethical large chains). That lead to an enriching conversation between Christian and I. Their wide variety of coffee flavors also gave me a delightful breakfast flavor this morning with their Smores-flavored brew.”

“I’ve been looking for a good sausage and pepper sub and have tried probably every pizzeria within a 10 mile radius. This was hands down the best sausage and pepper sub I’ve had in a long time. Oh and they put marinara sauce on it to! Mmm Good 😋”

“Great service and top quality ingredients; definitely recommend this location, food is always fresh and done to perfection; since my job relocation I have made this my number one go-to on a daily basis, little to mention the operator of this location has impeccable service with top quality fresh food… Best Place to Get Fried Chicken, my own opinion better than their competitors in the chicken industry.”

“Wonderful food, great deals. They're expanding their menu and are super sweet. They even let my boyfriend buy some of their hot sauce since he liked it so much! If you love tacos this place definitely needs a visit!”

“I love cassava leaf so much. Been two years since I found a great place and this is another one. Love it. great customer service, quickly prepared, good prices, lots of parking. I will be back weekly for some more. Keep up the great job. Yummy!!!”

“It is more than just a place to eat; it is a neighborhood gem. The quality of the food is matched by the warmth of the people who run it.
Customers are often greeted with a friendly smile, sometimes from the owner or his kids. This personal touch makes everyone feel like a regular.
Every sandwich is made to order with fresh ingredients. The bread is always perfect, and the meats are top-quality. The cheesesteak is a favorite, and the scrapple egg and cheese is also incredible.
The owner is dedicated to customer satisfaction. When issues arise, he addresses them with a positive attitude. This caring approach shows how much customers and the business are valued.
This corner store is an invaluable part of the community. A delicious meal with a smile is served at country maid in Rambleton acres !”

“Lunch special was a great deal!”

“While I like most of Stoltzfus’s items, I’ve been disappointed in their chicken salad. It used to be a staple in our home but seems like they’ve changed the recipe. It’s now so runny with mayo (or whatever they use) that it plops right off our sandwiches. They’ve also seem to cut back on the celery which added a nice contrasting crunch. Please bring back the old recipe.”

“Nice hidden spot enjoyed myself”

“Yes, drive-through service doesn't have "atmosphere," but if the food is what you expect and is served quickly, with a smile, it is worth 5 stars.”

“We ordered a large Shrimp Scampi pizza and we added broccoli… enough said 🤤🤌🏼 the mini shrimp accompanied by large butterflied shrimp and broccoli is a go to. I wish I met this pizza shop and ingredient combo sooner. Thank you!”

“Good service,very clean and non-binary rest rooms.”

“First time to the shop and it was amazing experience. Everyone was so friendly. I got back to my hotel room and started eatting and with every bite I felt more at peice. The bread is good, the meat is sliced thin and is beautiful. The muffins with the extra butter made me think I was in heaven. Its a great place to grab your next meal or snack.”

“Awesome people that give good service and are serious when it comes to good food. Josh makes me laugh”

“This is a true diamond in the rough, but just go. Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was energetic. Food and drinks were delicious. I've been telling everyone about it”

“!fjfjfjfjfkgvjcjcjchvjvjvjvj”

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

“I’ve had the best take out, from the Hockessin store! Everybody is so friendly there. The ribs, chicken (all ways), smothered pork chops, collared greens, Mac, corn bread, the list goes on. This food, puts you in a good state of mind. It’s like a hug, you can eat. Get some!”

“Mike is hands down the very best krispy kremer worker ever. He always gets the freshest donuts, gets my Large Bold Hazelnut Black Cup of Coffee and serves me very well. Thank you Krispy Kreme for the hardest worker in town, Mike.”

“Very good tacos and quesadillas ❤️”

“If you want the BEST COOK THE BEST WAITRESS THE BEST FRESHEST SALAD THE BEST MAC & CHEESE BEST LIVER GRAVY AND ONIONS ALL FOOD Surrounded by the CLEANEST area around IT IS here!!!”

“I have heard good things about this place ,so decided to order a burger because it was quick. Well let me tell you what !!!!!! “I wish I would have came here sooner”. I only live a couple blocks away and I’m going to stop in a lot more. The staff 100% percent awesome!!! Food even better !!!!! If they can make a burger taste that damn good then the rest of the menu has got to be impressive. Please stop and support this local business you will not regret it one bit. No picture to show because the burger didn’t have a chance.”

“Best food ever. Everything was fresh. Service was great and with a smile. Loved the live Jazz to! Will definitely be back soon.”

“After a nice vacation in Rehoboth Beach we decided to stop at the IHOP on our way to NJ. Everything was great and we especially liked they had special pricing for seniors 55 and older.”

“Great food, great customer service, love going there.”

“I ordered a snow crab steam pot and added jumbo shrimp. Everything was really good. 😋”

“Over the few years I actually like the atmosphere and look of current Wendy's like I could sit down and enjoy a meal there.

However the highlight of this place is its accuracy in getting my order right and service. I've ordered from well over 20 times in the last couple years. I can remember only one mistake with a baked potato, but that's it and we are a family of four!

Also, there is a regular employee there that is hilarious and friendly, give him a raise, guys!! He an older guy with a ponytail!”

“Dang good chikin! Fresh and hot! They didn't take American Express at this location.”

“Love their food. Chicken is my favorite”

“1/2 off on seafood I like that 😁”

“My family and I love this location. The staff are super friendly and welcoming even when they are busy with other tables. We usually make it in time for a late dinner after work(9pm-10:30pm), and they have been always helpful.

The Manager on duty (Christian) is awesome! His attentiveness and helpful makes our experience every time we visit amazing. We notice he is often on the floor helping out and running food out. It’s very refreshing to see it.

Food is always good, drinks amazing! We usually bring parties over 6 people, sometimes 4 people or just a pair for dinner. Even with the overwhelming numbers, they are quick to accommodate us.

10/10 would definitely recommend!”

“Was there before they opened and waited for drive through. They served me a fresh and perfectly cooked sausage, egg, and cheese croissant. Went on a second occasion to have dinner and the dinner was excellent in its quality and the taste was on point.”

“One of the better taco bells by far. Staff was friendly when they were available. They do no man the counter like they used to, but the place was great. As we pulled in a worker was cleaning up the parking lot. The bathrooms looked and smelt great. A very clean taco bell, some table tops were freshly dirty and not wiped off. But overall the best taco bell around”

“The drive thru people are always sweet to me and always get my food right. Its always hot aa well. Now through door dash its another story but no complaints at all!”

“There are not too many places in Delaware that does a hoagie right. This place is a go-to for game day or any time you want a delicious hoagie. They are nice folks and courteous. Standing room only. Get in, order, wait 10 minutes and get out!”
