50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Penns Grove

“We were running 1/2 hour late on a Saturday night yet they were still so welcoming. Mary was our server and she was amazing, attentive, kind and not overbearing. Then there was the food....... OMG!! The tomahawk for 2 was amazing. Cooked to perfection( very hard to do based on the size) and covered in what felt like pounds of crabmeat, scallops and shrimp!! The place is a must and I would and will be back for their food over and over!! We loved it!!“

“The best pizza and subs anywhere. Furr-get Aboutit I had a slice of cheese pizza and an orange soda while waiting for the rest of my order and it turned out to be the best pizza ever. I also had a delicious cheese-steak sub with fries and my mother got an egg sandwich. All the food came out quick fast and in a hurry and was extremely tasty. Would recommend to any local or hungry traveler. I met the two brothers that run the place and they seem like good guys.“

“Super friendly service and excellent food. Will definitely be returning whenever I'm in the area :)“

“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“

“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!“

“Our second time here and we love the food and laid back ambience. Everyone is always friendly and we enjoy the 80s music!“

“I Was in town for a Private Event, it was held at Keem's, Christian was manager that evening. My husband and I had a wonderful time, EVERYTHING was amazing, we have been talking about the food all the way back to Virginia! Thank you to the Entire Staff for all your efforts! If we are in the area we will surely be back!“

“This is our favorite Wilmington restaurant, and the food never disappoints. So delicious! The beef tartare was so interesting with an Asian flare, the squash appetizer was earthy and warm and delightful. The duck was tender, as can be, and the pork shoulder with the coconut, sweet potato was to die for. The apple dessert was great as well.“

“We were in Wilmington for my son’s lacrosse event and stopped at Scalessa’s, what a find! Aaron gave us amazing service and made us feel right at home. The chopped antipasti salad was fresh and flavorful, my son loved his chicken parm, and Grandma’s Sunday Gravy was next level, true home-style Italian cooking. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Can’t praise this place enough!! Their delicious food, kind and accommodating staff, everything was out standing and so yummy. Coffee was made exactly to my liking and tasted perfect.“

“Can not recommend this place enough! Delicious food! Very quick service. It has BYOB if interested. Every thing tastes so fresh!“

“We had an amazing private there on Sunday with 60 people! They were accommodating, flexible and easy to work with. The food was delish!!!“

“Had a lovely dinner with the family, early on a Sunday evening.
Our first time at Kid Shelleen's. It was much bigger than it appears at first. We had our two granddaughters with us, one is very vocal and not great at getting food into her mouth. We were conveniently tucked into the back corner where we didn't bother any other patrons, thanks to the wonderful staff. So thankful for their kindness and attention.“

“Our favorite restaurant in Wilmington“

“Best time to come is early morning or in afternoon. Not very busy then. Great food Also like 2 minutes to 95.“

“The small plates were delicious and beautiful, nice atmosphere and Maria our server was outstanding. It was a very enjoyable dinner and they made my husband's birthday special.“

“Food was phenomenal, beer was great and everything’s decently priced. Definitely our new go to spot!“

“Great food, great beer. Enjoy the changing, weekly variety of chefs specials.

Even after a few years, the food is delicious as ever! Overall it feels like maybe the niche selections have gone away, which is a bit of a shame, but what remains is as delicious as ever.“

“I would categorize myself as a somewhat fussy eater because I’m not usually enthused about food. This place is EASILY my favorite place to eat. It’s also the only place I look forward to hearing the specials and trying various things on the menu. I go there minimum once a week. Of all the times I’ve been I’ve only had 2 incidents where I was not happy with the cut of meat. When I brought the issue to the servers attention, they went above and beyond to make things right. I suggest making reservations because they are pretty busy from those that have also fallen in love with this amazing restaurant. The manager and all the employees are well mannered and offer top tier service.“

“The food is amazing. I normally order for a business meeting or myself at times, and it is really good. The quality of the food is great, and there's a lot of food, which is a plus. We love it. I can not rate on the atmosphere or in-person service because we have not been in person, but overall, this is a 5-star experience for our business.“

“I wanted to eat at a local diner that has a counter. I found this place by using Google maps and searched for diner near me. Very charming local restaurant. For the first time I had Scrapple. Great service and atmosphere. I chatted with the locals and explained my trip to Wilmington. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. I recommend giving them a try.“

“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“

“Meghan’s was busy when we arrived. Breakfast was brought out to us in minutes after placing our order. Waitress very pleasant and fast. Bacon 🥓, sausage, coffee and eggs were good. Personally I can make way better French toast. Highly recommend Meghan’s. We will definitely be back.“

“This place never misses. The menu offers an amazing range from healthy choices to hearty comfort food, all made fresh every time. Try the Well Being Tea, the Pinji Special Sandwich, and the Chicken Ramen. Love that you can also customize your own smoothie. A true gem and always worth the visit.“

“We love this place. This is THAT diner. Great food, friendly staff, and small town feel. You will feel like a regular the minute you walk in. Breakfast all day, lunch and dinner specials daily, and special orders are no problem. Just go. This will become the diner that you will compare all others to. Really. Just go, you'll be glad you did.“

“Dinner at Masamoto was suggested by a friend, so you're getting a twofer review. If you love sushi how can you go wrong?

We went with another couple on a Wednesday night. (Now you're up to 5 people recommending this place-bonus!) The place is small, so we made reservations. Sadly, we were the only customers when we arrived. I was a little concerned, but once rush hour died down the place got busy. The kitchen was hopping, creating table and take out orders. And for good reason.

We ordered a bunch of sushi rolls. They all looked amazing when brought to the table. There's no point in telling you which rolls we order, because they were all great and the menu has so many choices. And they will even make you gluten-free rolls and fried rice if you ask.

You don't go to Masamoto if you don't like sushi, so go and enjoy some wonderful creations.

It's usually true what they say about cozy hole in the wall restaurants. Masamoto is such a place, and deserves to be packed every night. If you want Asian flair and the extra costs for decorations and loud music - good for you, but you're missing out. Masamoto is a mom-n-pop type place with great food and a fantastic staff. They are helpful and happy to take care of you. For me, a genuinely cheery staff is what makes a place feel welcoming.

Masamoto is a place you go for the food and the company. Make some time and treat yourself.
Oh, and bring your favorite saki, wine, or bubbly. They are BYOB. Your belly and your wallet will thank you!
Enjoy!“
