“We found this place totally by accident, traveling home from Lancaster. It seemed to be a popular locals spot. The prices were great, the food was delicious, the staff was very friendly. Hubby got the boneless wings & I had a Reuben sandwich. We’re not through Elkton very often but will definitely be return customers, when we are. Highly recommend!“

“Food is great! Great service! Jeff introduced himself to me at a recent buffet and asked me to be careful since I do not wear shoes. Class act. Thanks! My friends and I will come again.“

“Easter Buffet was extra special with a variety of entrees. The menu included a wide variety of seafood, ham, roast beef along with vegetables, rolls, and some great desserts. We will be visiting the restaurant again for my husband's birthday. He loved the food so much he selected it for a family celebration. Take some time to dine at Wesley's Restaurant, you won't be disappointed.“

“We sat at the bar for a quick bite on our way home from OC tonight. Our server was MEGAN, very friendly, very attentive & fun to chat with. Every employee we encountered was personable, something that's hard to come by lately. Our drinks (Long Island Iced Tea) & food (chipotle salad bowl w/shrimp & chipotle quesadilla explosion w grilled chicken) were delicious!! Highly recommend!!“

“Enjoyed my birthday tonight with family and friends. Grew up in Newark and have never eaten here. It did not disappoint. Love the history and the ambience. Our waitress, Piper was phenomenal, .... friendly, accommodating, and very attentive. The food was perfectly portioned and all tasted great. The soft pretzel was wonderful. The Brussel Sprouts was excellent and the short ribs were tender and flavorful. The apple cider mule was a perfect drink to top it all off.“

“Came for breakfast and glad we did. Good food, good service and the prices were way less than waffle house or iHOP.
Definitely will be back on mornings that are relaxed.

Vegetarian options: Breakfast items that are vegetarian.“

“Went to dinner tonight with my family at Applebees in Glasgow and we had Ronia as our server! Absolutely amazing experience, she pays so much attention to detail, asks all the right questions and if you're hungry don't worry that food is coming out fast. I have been to Applebee's and service is usually really good today with Ronia service was EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!“

Hands down the best waitress ive ever had in a restaurant. She was polite, attentive, and had great positive vibes from her all around. Thank you zuri for making our dining experience that much more enjoyable 😁“

“Took grandkids to 896 Pie today after a swim in the pool. Great service and amazing pizza. Brent is the owner and he was so friendly and engaged with his customers. All the grandkids and two adults enjoyed the perfectly cooked pizza. Thanks for a great visit“

“Enjoyed dining on the patio. Great combo playing that did not blast your ears. Will have to check back next spring to see if they return.“

“A wonderful place with a healthy variety of food so there's something for everyone. They're very accommodating with the options— not everything is vegan, but it feels like at least half of the menu is, and if it isn't then it can be made vegan. Menu items are conveniently and clearly labeled so you know what is vegan, gluten-free, or has nuts, among other things, and I can't stress enough how much I really wish every place did this. The seitan wings and loaded totchos are some of my favorites on the appetizer end- the "wings" in particular feel nice and juicy and have a great texture that I've been trying and failing to replicate at home. They have a really killer plant burger too known as the California Gardenator, which for me is always a big +10 points especially seeing how many places' "plant options" will just be an Impossible Patty; they also have delicious and flavorful tacos made with soy curls. The location unfortunately has the same "issue" as the other Main Street locations in Newark, which is that's there not a great way to quickly park and go even if you just want to pick something up (and all the parking spots on Main Street are metered because of course they need to capitalize off of the UD kids) but the actual building is a gorgeous establishment with great indoor/outdoor seating and friendly staff. Some may disagere but I found the prices pretty reasonable for the quality and it feels like the portions are plentiful— I've underestimated how much food they give you a few times.“

“excelente 👌 servicio y la comida muy sabrosa😋“

“Good Food , Daily Specials“

“From Florida, visiting family here….got an Airbnb in Charlestown…it’s our last night here and decided to order from Market Street for a quick dinner while we pack up….. Best. Cheesesteak. Ever.“

“Excellent down-home restaurant. The service was outstanding, and the food was delicious. I would give them 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you for a job well done.“

“I went with my group on a Thursday which was a very light evening which allowed my group to enjoy our whole dining experience. Our server had time to explain the menu and make recommendation to our group that included a 4 year old. Why is this relevant? Because, she gave her the same respectful service as she did the adults. Thank you. Now let's get to the food. I had the Chicken Picatta. I had to take the picture because at the first bite I new it was about to be destroyed. I left nothing on the plate. The Impossible Sloppy for those who need a vegan option also got a thumbs up. The food comes out hot hot! No one complained! I will be back the next time I am in Delaware.“

“Course is in good shape and fair for women golfers. Food in the restaurant is good.“

“Amazing food, homey environment, great prices and sociable, accommodating staff. Once again, great food.“

“Great food and atmosphere, friendly bartenders.“

“Some friends and I went to Catch45 for lunch yesterday and we had great food and conversation. We were there for nearly four hours. The ambiance was nice and the food plentiful and delicious. We had beef patties, fried plantains two ways, jollof rice, red beans, attike and the yummy sauces. The staff was amazing in sharing their culture through exploring the menu with us, making recommendations, and ensuring we enjoyed everything. We were offered complimentary dishes to try and lots of attention was given. We can’t wait to go back again. Thanks for a great dining experience.“

“Great food and great service!“

“Absolutely delicious! 😊 Everything was loaded with flavor- the macs, the sandwiches, the burgers“

“Great food and people“

“I didn’t just grab vegan chocolate at 67 Cafe — I grabbed a whole experience. After snagging a delicious vegan chocolate bar from the neighboring Newark Natural Foods, I wandered into 67 Cafe, found myself a super comfy chair, and set up shop to study something a little niche: autonomous vehicle prompt engineering (yeah, it’s as futuristic as it sounds).

The atmosphere here is perfect for focus — relaxed, welcoming, and with that kind of low hum that makes you feel like you’re part of a quiet but thriving community. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Raina, who was working the counter when I came in and whom I rewarded a decent tip to. Friendly, efficient, and just genuinely good energy — exactly the kind of person you want as the face of a neighborhood spot.

Whether you’re looking for a place to sip, snack, or deep-dive into a cutting-edge study session, 67 Cafe has you covered. I’ll absolutely be back — probably with another vegan treat in one hand and a laptop full of AI prompts in the other. 🚀🍫“

“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!“

“Me My Boyfriend and a friend of his ate dinner there earlier this evening Great Food Excellent Service! friendly staff we.ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“the BBQ burger with straw onions is delicious. my husband got the avocado burger.“

“I dream about your nachos 🤤“
