“The staff made me feel welcome and noticed at the breakfast bar area. Devin helped me order exactly what I wanted because I didn't see the combo I was hoping for on the menu. He kept my coffee topped off and let me enjoy my meal in peace. The cooks knocked it out of the park with my meal as well. Always a good experience at this Metro!“

“I visited homegrown with my boyfriend, it’s one of our favorites, the fries and chips are always great and I love their burgers. However, they are a bit pricey but most of their food is amazing. I usually always get the dirty burger which is to die for, if you do plan on getting that, go on an empty stomach.“

There were similar good deals also to be had. I do wish they had turkey sausage or bacon, but it still was a great bargain ? I would recommend this place for breafast anytime ?“

“My party drove here from Maryland and it was worth every minute! Beautiful ambiance and decor inside the restaurant and great parking. I’ve never been to a Liberian restaurant this upscale before. Great for parties or dates. The bar was nice and the presentation was great. The food came out fairly quickly for a party of 7 and was very flavorful. Large portions (especially considering the price), great service, and great music! Wide selection of Liberian dishes, including Liberian desserts! Everyone in my party loved what they ordered so much we all bought at least 1-2 dishes to go! We will definitely be back. This restaurant was in a class on its own. Kudos to the owners!“

“I miss when D.P. Dough was on Main Street, but I like that it is still in a walkable spot elsewhere in town. This is a great place that is fast food but still healthier than a lot of fast food, especially if you get stuff with some vegetables in them. Their bell peppers and tomatoes are usually quite fresh. This place has a reputation as a place stoners go when they get munchies, and although I will say this reputation is well-deserved, it can also be appreciated by people who don't use marijuana as well, so regardless of where you are on that usage spectrum, I would still recommend this place. The prices here are pretty decent; they haven't gone up as much as most fast food places have, and I think they are outright low compared to a similar volume and quality of food from most restaurants. The only minor complaint I have is that the past two times I've been in here, it wasn't super clean. Not like gross or anything, just the tables were a bit greasier than I'd like and there were a bit more crumbs around. I like the kinda dark, cozy atmosphere, good for coming here late night. I hate how many restaurants have really bright, harsh lighting. This place feels better to me, kinda toned down.“

“I returned to my "alma mater" of the University of Delaware for a visit and was told by locals that a "must" was GRAIN ON MAIN. I wasn't overly hungry but heard over and over about their OMG CRABBY PRETZEL dish. I must admit- it was OMG AMAZING! This restaurant was not stingy with the crab and it was simply delish! Service was good but they could have used more waitstaff for a weekend brunch rush!“

I got the buffalo chicken panini and my sister-in-law got the 302 BLT. I tried a bite of the BLT and it was delicious. The panini was also fantastic. I highly recommend visiting here and trying the food. It is also attached to a grocery store.“

“We came with 60+ people in a faith group trip. Of course we booked in advance. We all had a very nice time. From the zip line to laser tag & bowling to pool. The vibes were great. We loved the sense of security with the armed guards in front keeping everyone safe. Even the state troopers who were "just passing by" were thrilled to be there. The staff there was curtious and mostly professional. The only complaint i had was that if we paid for our wrist bands why did we have to keep making reservations to go on the different attractions. My group definitely will come back again“

I highly recommend this restaurant for family nights out or if you just want to go grab a drink on a date night! We've been coming to this place since we moved to the area weekly when my son is done with hockey, I'm Pat particularly fond of their salads in this restaurant as they're always fresh and delicious. I've also ordered many times off of DoorDash to have dinners delivered to our home. They have specials every single night of the week! The staff is always extremely pleasant and the restaurant is well-maintained! They even have a rental space upstairs if you were looking for a small celebration space!“
