17 Best Seafood Restaurants near Delaware City

“Great place to eat!! Awesome crabs, nice size too!!“

“When my company arrived from Kansas and Indiana in April, I took them to Crabby Dick's in Delaware City and they absolutely loved it! They especially enjoyed the crab cakes and Maryland Crab soup. I got my usual favorite, steamed clams! Our server's name was either Mattie or Maddie. Not sure of the spelling, but she was outstanding. We were there on April 22nd.“

“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.“

“The pleasant atmosphere and hospitality and the food are excellent.“

“Best seafood broil I’ve ever had. If you want flavor and quality this is your spot. Fair priced for the ultimate seafood broil and we were not disappointed. We live in NJ and are in the area visiting a family member when we came across southern style seafood. Will definitely be coming back here soon just to eat. 10/10“

“I LOVE the Brookside Country Maid!!! BEST subs I've had! And great service too :D“

“Best food ever. Everything was fresh. Service was great and with a smile. Loved the live Jazz to! Will definitely be back soon.“

“It was so awesome I had a video chat date with my husband while I was there their pineapple drink is amazing it is inside of a pineapple and it looks like something out of an island in the Bahamas which I've never been but still an awesome place I would recommend 10 out of 10. And if ever I come back to Delaware I will come and try more things on the menu I had the crab dip it was amazing“

“Tried this place for the first time today and WOW!! This place blew me away! I'm a boneless fan (yeah I know) and the pieces of chicken were HUGE! I got them in Nuclear flavor since I wanted the hottest they had, but that's Ghost Pepper and that's a dry rub and I prefer a sauce. I ordered a 10 piece combo meal and it looks like I didn't make a dent in the chicken theres so much left. I will definitely be back!!“

“Looks like a dive bar. Clientele appears all local. We came on a Wednesday night where they have the steamed shrimp special. Place was packed. People filed in quickly ate and left knowing exactly what they were doing. Our server Nancy who is a nurse by profession during the day has been working there for 46 years! She has super powers! As we were trying to figure out the place she just appeared! Our drinks and orders came quickly. Beer on tap was chilled perfectly in a frosted mug and tasted fresh. The shrimp was fantastic the mahi bites tender and the Lima bean soup full of flavor. We even were lucky enough to get soft shelled crab. The strategic mistake we made was not to inquire about fresh oysters first as we were distracted by the shrimp special. We were already full by the time we found out. Next time! We didn’t even look at the menu.“

“We love this place! We’ve had Ty the past two visits and he is THE BEST! He even remembered us and our order. He is so kind and attentive. The food runner was great as well and so friendly (didn’t catch his name) We have loved the food both times we were here. Some of our favorites are the Taquitos, The shrimp Cobb, the sushi and the Mahi Sandwich. A fun, laid back atmosphere and top notch service. Thank you!!“

“We decided to go to dinner at Firebirds. I had been once and was not impressed; however my husband had never been there. I have to say the food was good. Cooked exactly the way we wanted. The only draw back we had is the portions of food that you receive for the price that you pay. We felt like we were robbed. We don’t over eat so when I say we had small portions, we really had small portions. The dessert was even small portions for the price that you’re required to pay. The five very thin layers of lemon cake were good but the slice was very thin for $10.25. Out bill was $76.30 for two and I would have no problem if we had an appetizer and alcoholic drinks but there was none of that because we don’t drink. We each had a soda because the lemonade was too tart. The server was very pleasant and on time with everything. We tipped her well as we should have. Not sure I can return there. A little more light would be appreciated if I did return.“
