“When my company arrived from Kansas and Indiana in April, I took them to Crabby Dick's in Delaware City and they absolutely loved it! They especially enjoyed the crab cakes and Maryland Crab soup. I got my usual favorite, steamed clams! Our server's name was either Mattie or Maddie. Not sure of the spelling, but she was outstanding. We were there on April 22nd.“

“😍Tucked just off the road like a well-kept secret, Snuff Mill Steakhouse & Butchery is a revelation—a celebration of fine dining wrapped in the warmth of a neighborhood favorite. Step inside, and you’re greeted by a cozy, intimate interior that feels both polished and personal. High tables, rich wood tones, and a welcoming bar set the tone. And just to the left of the entrance, a gleaming meat case—like a culinary altar—builds anticipation with its marble-cut promise of things to come. Whimsy lives here too, from the surprise artworks to the playful presence of pigs in unexpected places (don’t miss the one keeping watch near the door). The wine list? Impeccably curated, with a focus on hand-selected bottles that beg to be explored. Cocktails are more than drinks—they’re small works of art, mixed with precision by bartenders who clearly care. Then there’s Bill Irvin—proprietor, oyster whisperer, and front-of-house magician. A certified oyster expert, Bill pairs briny beauties with grace and authority. The chef and kitchen brigade bring French-influenced finesse to every plate, sourcing only the finest local ingredients. The results? Steaks seared to sublime, seafood that sings, and appetizers that linger on the palate like a good memory. The in-house pastry chef seals the deal—so save room. The desserts are nothing short of transportive. Snuff Mill is more than a meal; it’s a destination. Guests travel from near and far, and once you’ve experienced it, you’ll understand why.“

“My first time at Gus's Crab Shack was back in December of 2021 when a band that i represent was hired by Gus to entertain his guests. Since that time, we have been a regular part of his entertainment lineup. What started as a spot at the back wall turned into a stage being built for all bands to play on and then with a new huge stage outside under a tent and then again, he added yet another stage outside under another tent. He started with just two bands a weekend and now has up to 5 bands a weekend. he has pulled out all stops in providing the best entertainment that he can for his patrons. As far as the food and service are concerned, we have no complaints. We always get what we ordered in a timely manner. The food is served hot, and beverages are ice cold. If we had any problem with an order, the staff makes it right very quickly. Gus, the owner makes it a habit to go around to meet his guest to see how they are doing and if everything is all right. We highly recommend Gus's Crab Shack. The staff is very courteous and friendly.“

“My family and I were visiting from out of state and looking for fried fish. This place was perfect! The fish was so good and for me, it was more than the seasoning. The pieces were big and had the right amount of crunch. Loved it!

Vegetarian options: All sides are beef and pork free.“

“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!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Me and the wife eat tons of crabs and this might be the best in Wilmington, Newark. Not 5 stars because sometimes they are bot full and they dont give a few extra crabs or legs to make up for it. And when they make a mistake somehow it's the customer fault. Always check order b4 paying enjoy“

“I’ve only had wings from here but they are always fresh,hot, XHARD as I prefer upon ordering wings aren’t scary big, meat is white & clean I typically order lemon pepper but I’ve tried other flavors this is my fav ?combo 10 wings fries and soda for 14.99“

“First time ordering from here tonight and we WILL BE BACK… like a lot. We live in pike creek and will make the drive. We got the red beans and rice, gumbo and tomato soup and we need to try the rest of the menu! My husband and I just got back from New Orleans and my husband was sad because he loved the food so I googled and found this place! The gumbo was literally better than we had down there 😍 SO GOOD. And everyone working when I picked up (one was the owners daughter) were so passionate about how they make everything from scratch and kept giving me samples of everything and telling me their story. It’s a WONDERFUL locally owned place that should be protected at all costs. Cannot recommend enough!“

“Amazing! We had the BEST server ever. Michael was friendly, funny and so attentive! My fiancé and I had the greatest first time here. We 100% recommend and will be back!“

“If you like sushi and also enjoy Chipotle or El Diablo, you will LOVE this ??️
I would eat 3 bowls a day if I made twice as much as I do and the element mercury didn’t exist ?️
Poke Bros. is quintessential poké.
If you’ve had it once you’ll get the same exact experience here.
Is it healthy? It can be ❤️
Could it be 900+ calories? Absolutely ?
Good staff, great food… I just wish the serving sizes were much bigger!“

“We used to have a Bahama Breeze in Towson, Maryland (near my home) which, sadly, closed several years ago. We have visited the BB in KOP, which was great. When an opportunity presented to check out the one near Christiana Mall, we jumped at the chance. We were not disappointed! The food was as good as we remembered. We stopped by during happy hour and really enjoyed the selection of beverages. Definitely worth the trip!“

“The Back Burner has a gem in Patty. The food is always dependable, and the wine list is surprisingly reasonable for some good quality wines. I think all of these things contribute to the restaurant's staying power in Hockessin.“
