“TY for accommodating our party of 18 on a Saturday… Your fried calamari was so yummy, the flight of soup was a brilliant idea for someone who’s undecisive to be able to sample 3 different cups, my crab cake was so amazing - I’m drooling just thinking about the jumbo lumps of crab chunks!!! By the way hubby & I noticed the American Psycho decors right away as we’re huge fans of the book & movie. Last but def not least, the service was great even though there were 18 of us with some loud kiddos.”

“Delicious food! Fresh, tasty, and not expensive. Their banana pudding, brownies, and cinamon buns are my favorite. Breakfast burrito is amazing as well. Also - their latte is so good. The owner and the staff are always friendly! There's not much seating but it's worth coming for the food and coffee.”

Restaurants with Delivery
Wine Bar • $$$
“😍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.”

“The bartenders there serve people that are obviously visibly drunk and falling off their stools! When I brought it up to the bartender, she said I misread the situation and it was none of my business! So, I went to the manager and she repeated pretty much the same statement like it was scripted because it continuously happens! I wonder if the owners are aware of these actions because honestly the bartender and manager should be fired for those kind of attitudes as it's illegal to serve visibly impaired patrons at a bar! Sad! 🤔😔 I actually have to add, it's a shame that the staff isn't the best, because the concept is great, the events are fun and our group which usually numbers 10 to 15 people enjoy hanging out there for the events and the food which is reasonable and pretty good! 💝😎👍”
Juice • $
“So I had never tried an Açaí Bowl, but my mini me Kalena raves about them. Last week she introduced me to the one of the most incredible food experiences.

“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!”

Barbecue • $
“I cannot say enough great things about Mission BBQ and their incredible team! I was attending a work event where, 30 minutes before it was set to begin, we discovered that the food we had originally planned for 200 people wasn’t coming. In a moment of panic, I called Mission BBQ — and that’s when Rochelle, the General Manager, and her team became our heroes.
Rochelle immediately sprang into action and worked tirelessly with her staff to pull together an amazing spread on extremely short notice. Not only was the service quick and professional, but the food was absolutely delicious and left a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. My coworkers are still raving about the quality and saying this will be the standard they compare future events to.
Mission BBQ truly saved the day, and I could not be more grateful. Rochelle and her team deserve all the recognition (and a raise!) for their outstanding service and dedication. I will recommend this location to anyone looking for exceptional food and even better people.”

A solid 5 stars to my new Thai friends! Gary”

“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.”

“We have been to all of the other Bardea offerings in the area so we were excited to try out Roost! We were not disappointed. Located on Market Street in Wilmington, Roost is an upscale pub and bar. The menu is typical pub food fare but with an upscale twist. We were seated immediately upon entering. Our server Ashley was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable. She Handled our food sensitivities easily, made great recommendations for both drinks and food, and could explain any dish in depth. The food was delectable! We had the deviled eggs which arrived in a nest made out of dough, a burger, a Reuben, and dessert. If you are a craft beer person they have an excellent draft menu. Overall it was a fantastic experience and we look forward to returning.”

Food was tasty and server was great.

My boyfriend didn't see chicken marsala on the menu. only chicken parmesan.He asked and they made him the chicken marsala. So good too. We ordered wine. I had the Cabernet and he had the Pino Noir .Both wines were rich and savory. Very tasty. The floor manager even came up to make sure we were happy. That was very nice. we received the check and the server boxed up our food for us. The check really was not expensive. I paid and gave a 25% tip. I normally don't care either way with itailian resteraunts but this place was so nice. Rustic and warm atmosphere, pleasant staff, and amazing food. Will visit again for sure.”

I did taste some food from their kitchen menu which was good but not as good as the sushi / sashimi. All in all, a very nice place to eat. I recommend it.

“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.”

“There are many Asian buffets these days and while there are some top-of-the line buffets, there's plenty more than are good and there are of course some that are rough because the food isn't rotated to keep fresh food on the buffet. This buffet though is pleasantly good and it has a nice atmosphere.
I like that the buffet's atmosphere is very well done with good decor and not feeling like a generic restaurant. The service is also good and for the most part well done for a buffet as well.
The food is what you mostly expect for an Asian buffet with a mix of Chinese dishes, sushi, a Mongolian-style grill and American buffet fare. The sushi is one of the better offerings I've seen in an Asian buffet; the fish was fresh when I was there and they had an actually good variety of different maki rolls and nigiri. The Mongolian grill has some good choices and the chef does a good job cooking the food up. I did wish they had a better selection of difference sauces to tailor your dish, but what they have works. The Chinese dishes are also pretty good with the normal variety of Amero-Chinese entrees and the fruit when I visit was reasonably fresh.
Overall, this buffet has very tasty options for food and a good variety of dishes as well. For a local, this is a good buffet to visit. But not quite one I'd go out of my way to visit.”

“I was NOT disappointed! I decided to come here for a Saturday lunch after scrolling through the options in Wilmington. I was able to find parking on the street easily. I walked in, sat at the bar right away and was quickly greeted with a friendly bartender. I was super excited to see that they have Leinie’s on tap! As a Wisconsin native I couldn’t pass up the Leinie’s Juicy Peach sour. It was a great and refreshing drink. I also enjoyed the French Onion Soup. It came out piping hot and was perfect. I am glad I made it here and will definitely be back!”

“This little restaurant was so good. I went on my last day in Wilmington. It was my only chance, my business didn't allow me the opportunity to visit during their open hours, so I was glad to get a moment to drop in. I kept it simple, a gyro, pasta salad, and baklava. It was excellent. The gyro was simple, tasty, the pita bread was so fresh and soft, everything on this gyro was seasoned perfectly. The pasta salad was delightful just the right amount of zing, with a little tart taste thrown in. The baklava was not overly sweet, just enough nutty taste with som great flaky, light taste from the Phyllo dough. If I am ever in the neighborhood again, I would jump at the chance to grab some eats here. You should too, I don't think you'll be disappointed!”

“Pretty good breakfast! The regular cost is 12.00 per person but since I'm a platinum Marriott member there was no fee.An assortment of juices and fruit, oatmeal, bacon, sausage, eggs, breakfast potatoes, and pancakes were on the buffet!”
Barbeque • $$
“Located in Lewes, DE. This place is so delicious with the most pleasant employees. Stop by and visit them, and if you live locally they are on door dash. I personally love their breakfast omelette, pulled chicken rice bowl and anything brisket. Oooo also try their “Omy Fingers”. It’s a must try.”
Deli • $$
“I enjoyed the blue crabs I got from here. Upon ordering we were asked if we would like to add beer as an ingredient and we said yes. This gave the crabs more flavor and made them very juicy. They have a hot or mild seasoning to choose from. The hot is spicy so be careful. Adding butter garlic is an extra charge. We also tried the Cajun crab sliders. They were a bit too spicy for us, but tasted good. All forms of payment accepted.”

“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!”

“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!”

“We just enjoyed a wonderful meal this evening. We started with the buratta app. Fresh buratta with tomato jam and chopped kalamata olives, the perfect blend of sweet and salty. I then had the shrimp and grits for my entree and it was also good. The "holy" trinity sauce was quite flavorful. I'm so glad I ventured from my normal order, which had also always been yummy.”

“Locale BBQ Post did an outstanding job catering for my Dad’s birthday party this past weekend. Everyone LOVED the food, and there was plenty left over, despite us refilling the containers repeatedly. All of the meats (brisket, pulled pork, and chicken) and sauces were fantastic (extra compliments were given for “The Sauce” and the bbq sauce) and the yams and baked beans were delicious. We also enjoyed the potato salad and pickles. I really appreciate the communication also, even when I increased the amount of food being ordered within the week of the party.”

“Have visited twice & both times had good service at the bar. Food delivered in a timely manner, and was as expected. Very good. Only disappointment was there were small children running around the bar area. Not much supervision from the parents. Was not enjoying the loud music either. Why can’t restaurants play nice soft music? Other than that, it won’t stop us from returning.”

“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.”

“My family stopped by with our 2 year old grand daughter. The service was great. Bry had waited on us she was whipping around there like a little robot she was seating and taking orders. Doing it all by herself. They need to hire more staff. In my opinion, if they had a manager he/she should have been out there helping. Never seen one. Please let Bry know how much my family appreciated everything she did and we enjoyed our experience with her. Kuddos for hiring her. She most definitely works well under pressure. She's the BEST.”

“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 🌸💗🌸”

“We arrived in Wilmington at 10PM after a cross-country flight and we were hungry. The late night dining options were limited. We decided to try TGI Friday's and it was good enough -- not excellent, but enough menu choices to satisfy both my wife's need for a healthy meal and our boys' goal of eating burgers. \n\nThe service was a little slow, but understandable -- we only saw 2 waitstaff and the place was still fairly busy. The people were nice, the food was prepared correctly, it definitely met our needs. And the price was reasonable.\n\nSo if you are hungry after 10PM in North Wilmington and you don't want to just grab something at Wa-Wa, this is a viable option.”

“We have been to all of the other Bardea offerings in the area so we were excited to try out Roost! We were not disappointed. Located on Market Street in Wilmington, Roost is an upscale pub and bar. The menu is typical pub food fare but with an upscale twist. We were seated immediately upon entering. Our server Ashley was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable. She Handled our food sensitivities easily, made great recommendations for both drinks and food, and could explain any dish in depth. The food was delectable! We had the deviled eggs which arrived in a nest made out of dough, a burger, a Reuben, and dessert. If you are a craft beer person they have an excellent draft menu. Overall it was a fantastic experience and we look forward to returning.”

“😍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.”
