Restaurants near Salem

“I was referred to Willows Wisp bakery by a friend of mine to bake my daughter’s wedding cake. I was in a panic because I waited too long to order this cake but Ashley provided a very calm and positive assurance that she had it covered! I sent her a picture of the cake my daughter requested and she came through for us. Not only was the cake exactly what we wanted but this cake was exquisite. Everyone LOVED this cake. I was asked over and over who we ordered the cake from. If you are looking for baked goods please do yourself a favor and call Willows Wisp….you will not be disappointed!!”

“Great prices, healthy portions and delicious food all in one spot. I ordered the wings, the fish platter and jumbo shrimp. I definitely recommend you try this spot out..”

Wheelchair accessibility: None here. Steps into the restaurant.”

“Recommended 100 % Professional Chef”

“Enrico’s recently catered my graduation party, and I couldn’t get one picture because the food was gone! My favorites were the Butternut Squash ravioli and the homemade cannoli. The owner worked on a day off to help me celebrate and feed my family and friends. The customer service was top tier, and the food was exceptional. Thank you!!!”

“My kind of bar...friendly owner and loyal customers who treat you with respect. If you want to have nice cold beer or a glass of wine...go see Ms. Betty she will greet you with a smile and make you feel at home.”

“Cook some good fries. Burger wasn't season, but a corner store that sells cooked food was great! Wait, it was just for food to cook and only cost 10 bucks for a burger and fries.”

“Love going there. They make us feel really welcome with our toddler. The food is consistently good and the prices are fair.”

“I just want to give a shout out to the chief at Pats in Salem! I just had a chicken cheese steak wrap and it was so yummy! Very friendly staff.”

“So I’ve lived in Salem most of my adult life, and I can confidently tell anyone reading this the food IS very good. Compared to other Chinese restaurants in Salem county Supior. Now the plexiglas can’t have customers feeling this is normal, and bc it’s not! This is the hood and better safe than sorry, so no judgment there. My MY ONLY issue, is they are way overpriced. $7.50 for 4 wings! But I know every restaurant is overpriced these days, so not exclusive to Welcomes. However, I’ve been a customer since the mid-90s, they were ALWAYS known for affordable good food… Still good food, but high priced in a sketchy neighborhood.”

“Our choice for great pizza, staff is always friendly & courteous!”

“I ordered off of McDonald's app like I always do and got a great deal on a Chicken Deluxe Sandwich which came with free medium fries. The drive thru was busy because they just closed the inside and it's also Sunday. I don't eat as much as I used to at McDonald's, but when I do I always use their app because I save money and earn rewards.”

“Sabatina's knocked it out of the park for my husband's birthday. we ordered a couple of sandwich trays and chicken tenders and everything was fresh and outstanding! the ladies in the shop even helped my daughter and I carry our food down the street since it was DE City Day and Clinton Street was blocked off. We can't wait to order again!”

“My (non vegan) friend and I enjoyed a delicious lunch here. It’s a charming restaurant with a great menu. Lots of options for vegans. I highly recommend it!! Updated from previous review on 2025-08-22”

“Well service does not get any better than you will receive at Momma’s Nashville Kitchen. The owners are very attentive and friendly to their customers which was wonderful. The food was great and it was an all around excellent experience. Looking forward to our next visit. 👍👍👍”

“A Genuine Surprise Stop on Our Way Back From NYC

We were on our way home from NYC, planning to wash the car before calling it a day, when we drove past Pennsville Custard Stand. Right before it, we passed what can only be described as a crack den (a rundown motel with a few guys doing the crack dance), and honestly, we didn’t expect much more down the road.

Then suddenly, we see this beautiful little hole-in-the-wall shack that completely caught us off guard. Not only were the prices super reasonable, but the service was lightning fast — in and out like that.

It was clearly a regular local spot too. We saw a dad just casually enjoying his custard outside his truck, like this was his go-to ritual, while my wife and I enjoyed ours. It had this wholesome, small-town vibe that made the whole stop feel unexpectedly special.

If you’re ever passing through, don’t sleep on this place. Absolute gem.”

“Italian kitchen is a great one stop shop for all your catering orders. I showed up to pick up the sandwiches for our church lunch and I had put the wrong date on the order!!! They were able to accommodate me and worked like crazy to get it done. The cake I ordered was superb!!! If it had not been for the kindness of this store today, I don’t know what I would have done. The cashier, God Bless you. You went above and beyond to fix my mistake. Love you all!!!”

“Fun spot for one person at the bar or bring your coworkers and have a private party like we did! Chloe was a great server and with the team at The Engine House they made our night on their second floor playing golf, eating n drinking a great night!!!”

“Staff is friendly. I ordered flounder and it was cooked while I waited. He threw in a Wing too because I originally wanted chicken but changed my mind. It was a very tasty and fried well, and not too salty.”

“Always a great time with great food and drinks!”

“The best southern cooking I have had in DE since moving here 10yrs ago and believe me I have been looking. The place, the food, everything awesome can't wait to go back. Just thinking about it makes me hungry ?”

“My friend and I took a girls road trip today and ended up in New Castle. We decided to try Jessop's Tavern for lunch and absolutely loved it. Friendly warm atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious lunch! So glad we decided to stop in. We will definitely be back!”

“Delicious food, I always get the same things, but I know I’d eat everything on the menu. Everything is fresh. Family business and the owners are very sweet. It’s my boyfriend’s favorite place to get food! Also, as a Hispanic, the plantains are perfect. Sweet and a little crispy. The mac n cheese is also yummy 😋 I’ve started going to the gym nearby, so I will probably be coming more often, perfect meal to have after the gym, white rice and their chicken. Healthy, tasty, and filling. I made my Filipino stepmom drive an hour to come here and she approves. Prices are reasonable. You are paying for real food. If you are hungry and in the area, stop by, you will not be disappointed!”

“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.”

“Perfect atmosphere,great staff and good beer!”
