New American Restaurants near Hockessin, DE

“Arriving at 4 pm, the place was completely empty. Don't let that discourage you, the food is fantastic. I got the New Orleans Black and Bleu Burger as my entree and a blue lemonade as my drink. The burger was cooked exactly as I had ordered and was absolutely perfect. The blue lemonade (an alcoholic drink, to be clear) was middling but fine for the price. One of my party had ordered soup and wings and from what I tried both were splendid. The soup (which was the soup of the day) in fact spoke to me so much that I ordered a to go bowl and it served quite well for lunch the next day. The dessert the party split was also rather middling but also passable for the price point.“

“Can't overstate much we loved dining here. The food was exceptional - creative, fresh and delicious. The owners are so kind and involved and clearly put their heart into all they do. Every bite was fantastic but we especially loved the lamb - menu is seasonal, local and meticulously prepared. Highly highly recommend and we hope to return very soon.“

“If you haven't been...go. The students in this program work hard and are so attentive. This is a full dining experience. You get all the forks all the knives, all the glasses and palette For fun, if listed on menu, get the table side nitrogen ice cream added...it was worth it for the fun of it.“

“We absolutely loved every morsel and our server was top notch! First time we ever tried the beef skewers and the wedge salad was one of the best we've ever had. Our entrées were spectacular as well. And then our espresso martinis were a great way to end the evening. Thank you!!!“

“Went for lunch with my son. We ate on the patio. It was cozy, quaint. Beautiful weather made it even more enjoyable. The food options were great; different from the same old same old. The waitress was busy but brought our drinks and food in a timely manner. Can’t wait to go back.“

“Back in 2013, Kid Shelleen’s Charcoal House and Saloon in Wilmington’s Trolley Square was one of my favorite spots to rotate in and out of my afternoon or evening eateries whenever I was in Delaware.As a regular at Kid Shelleen's, I can't recommend it enough! The staff is like family - always friendly and welcoming.Their build your own charbroiled burgers are the absolute best, perfectly cooked and juicy - you won't find anything like them elsewhere. They also have great happy hour specials on drinks, and jumbo wings where a favorite as well.There's a real sense of community with the friendly regulars. It's a fantastic place for a delicious meal and a fun atmosphere!“

“I’ve been to the whip twice and enjoyed it both times. It was well worth the 45 minute trip from Wilmington De. The scenery along route 82 is incredible and the food and atmosphere are great. I can’t wait to return when it’s warm enough to sit on the patio.“

“The restaurant is near a corporate center and has a large parking lot. The main room where we sat was very noisy. The server was excellent and the food was delicious. My husband had the lasagna and I had the acorn agnolotti. Amazing Italian bread too. And they have a little market onsite filled with items to purchase. I would definitely recommend and return.“

“Always a great experience at Foxfire. The menu has so many great options. The food is so good and a good value for upscale dining. Love that the salads are big enough to share. The Delmonico steak was cooked perfectly and we love that the entrees come with sides such as a starch and some vegetables. I still don't know how their vegetables taste as good as they do, even the grilled cauliflower is fantastic! We also had the crab cakes and a mushroom quesadilla off the back side casual food section. Great dessert menu too. The apple cobbler is enough to share but the chocolate cheesecake was a a little to small to share among four of us. The service was great too. Very friendly and accommodating staff. We will definitely return.“

“I visited homegrown with my boyfriend, it’s one of our favorites, the fries and chips are always great and I love their burgers. However, they are a bit pricey but most of their food is amazing. I usually always get the dirty burger which is to die for, if you do plan on getting that, go on an empty stomach.“

“Missed breakfast, but wowed by dinner service and Sam's hospitality!Our stay at The Westin in Delaware started with a slight misstep - we arrived just after the 10 am breakfast cutoff. Disappointed but ready for dinner (starting at 5 pm), we waited eagerly for the doors to open.Upon entering, we were promptly seated and warmly welcomed by Ariana and our server, Sam. Their attentiveness and friendliness immediately impressed us. When I mentioned the lack of a microwave in the room and my desire for the roasted chicken, Sam surprised me by offering to have maintenance bring one! This blew me away, and I happily accepted her offer. My husband, Dr. Angel, opted for the cheeseburger. Both portions were generous, and we couldn't finish them all.The next morning, we enjoyed a delicious in-room breakfast. This Thanksgiving getaway was the perfect blend of relaxation, planning for future business ventures, and indulging in delicious food. While our room and the hotel was very dated, the staff, particularly Sam, were exceptional and made our stay truly memorable. We will definitely be returning to The Westin in the future!“

“First time here recommended by a friend. It was raining so we couldn't sit outside but we're very comfortable inside. Cute place, historic. First tavern in Delaware.Our server Sara was sweet and attentive. I was hoping for traditional Irish food but it's mainly bar food. I was pleasantly surprised. Our drinks were great.We had Philly rolls, delicious. Onion rings, delicious. For entree I had fish and chips, incredible,! Hubby had the John D burger, fresh and tasty, did not need any condiments. The fries were especially delicious, skin on and seasoned perfectly. I will definitely be back with friends.I wish they had dessert.“

“Nice atmosphere in between the Harley Davidson drivers craving attention like loud teenagers on State Street. Portions are meager and you’d think pasta wasn’t a dollar per pound. I figured I’d play it safe and order the most expensive seafood/pasta entree on the menu, but it was mediocre. Should have ordered the chicken parm. You know something is wrong when you’re given a roll and pungent humus in an “Italian” restaurant. Then you have to ask for salt and pepper, then ask for butter, and ask and ask and ask and some of the servers act like they’re doing you a favor. There’s little value here.“

“I drove by this place for years wondering what it could be like. Ive always had high hopes as it is very close to where I live. my feelings were that if the vibe was right, then it could be super convenient. My wife and daughter were away for the night so I stopped in. I was immediately disconcerted over the amount of older men who reaked of retired police. After a beer I realized that my stereotyping was on point. However, much to my surprise they were completely void of any pretention and remarkably friendly, hence this review. The bartender was attentive, and sociable. The regulars were comfortable, and non judgmental. Everything was clean and the prices were reasonable. Comfy seats and a smoking area out front. Plenty of parking too. This place rules.“

“Tonight my family and I came in. Our server was a warm, friendly beautiful lady named Ryleigh. She was amazing. Great service, she was attentive and helpful. The food was great. Fresh. Nice flavors. Good portions. Well worth the money spent. The crab potatoe skins was good. Cesar salad was good. Entrees we got the surf and Turf. Amazing. And the short rib. Also amazing.“

“I love Brew HaHa, especially this Greenville location ✨The cozy atmosphere and unique interior makes me wanna stay here for hours.Their mozzarella and tomato sandwich is my favorite, I order it all the time and this location makes it perfectly each time.The service is always friendly too.I’m also a huge fan of their seasonal drinks and always like to try them all out even though I usually don’t enjoy coffee. So far none have disappointed me and I’m always looking forward to come back ☺️“

“My favorite eatery in Christiana Mall and one of my favorite places in Delaware. (I have a long list.)I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with shoestring fries. I would get it again as I would the burger.Chef Derick is precise in the kitchen carefully preparing the guests meals and salads, etc.Also Robyn is an excellent and friendly server and prompt with the drink refills.“

“So far I only order for delivery but the it was prepared and delivered in a timely manager.It was cook just right and the vegetable toppings were fresh( lettuce,tomatoes,onions) After ordering once I feel as though this is the go to place in the area for me so far for as long as Im in the area.Menu's with the delivery order would be nice though.“

“Picked up ox tail and jerk chicken today. It was ready within a few minutes of me calling it in. Staff were super friendly, food was fantastic and price was very reasonable! I ordered larges and felt that the serving was very generous. Dropped off jerk chicken at my husband's job as a surprise treat for him, he loved it as well. Ox tail was so good I ate the entire large container in one sitting! Highly recommended this place and will most certainly be back!“

“Stopped in for lunch and we're so glad we did. Everything on the menu sounded amazing, we got the Barbie Fries, Philly Mac and Buffalo Chicken Mac. Holy sh*t it was good. Service was amazing. Devin was taking care of us but all of the staff stopped at the table to make sure we were doing well and were super kind. Super cool set-up inside and a very laid-back vibe. Will definitely make the trip back! Baltimore needs a location“

“Went for Easter brunch. Excellent Bloody Marys! Just the right amount of spice. Creole Crab Mac and Cheese was outrageous. Again just the right amount of heat. Wife had Avocado Toast with scrambled eggs and bacon. Again excellent. Our server Hussain was excellent. Pleasant but not hovering. A great experience. Highly recommend!“

“The?Columbus center is a great place to have a beer with friends , and the food is also a pretty darn good. I enjoy the bar side best but have also eaten in the restaurant if you want a more upscale experience. Not the cheapest of options but you get what you pay for most of the time and this place is no exception.“

“Late, weekday lunch for two, after spending morning at local tourist attraction. No dessert or alcohol. Service staff were friendly and helpful. We both had menu Jambalaya; it was very good! Coffee (both with and without) was quickly available and very tasty.Parking was available, but very tight and few spots available.I would definitely return if we are in area again to go to the same attraction.“

“I love having breakfast here. The staff have been great every time I have been here. I have had the pancakes, omelettes, hash brown, sausage biscuits and gravy, and ham here and all have been prepared just the way I like it. This place is much better than some other places in the area that are more expensive.“

“You can't see this place from the road so often gets missed great a tmosphere, such friendly staff and owner, oh my gosh fried portobello fries with homemade ranch delicious. Have a brewery around the corner and they make some of their own flavors, delicious! Def go!!!! Enjoyed!!“

“Food was great!!! We had the Mahi and the salmon both were cooked and flavored perfectly. The fried brussel sprout appetizer was surprisingly good (and I don't eat brussel sprouts). Nice atmosphere. Fire pit burning out side was also cool. Our waitress, Amanda, was on point and very pleasant. We will definitely spread the word.“

“It’s a little expensive for the amount of food and the drinks are pricey and not always worth it. But the staff makes up for it. They are always friendly and helpful and it’s nice to sit outside on a sunny day. We don’t go very often though because of the prices and we have been disappointed with the food and drinks.Vegetarian options: Just ask your server, they can offer you plenty of options.Dietary restrictions: They will try to accommodate any requests you may have.Kid-friendliness: My son likes coming here because the servers treat him like an adult and we walk the “boardwalk “ after.“

“Our attentive waitress made the visit very enjoyable. Drinks came out quickly. Food was good, no complaints from anyone in our party. Portions were good for the price we paid.A bit noisy inside even at lunch time but not overbearing.A nice place to have lunch with friends and catch up on old times.“

“We were impressed with some new menu options available since our last visit. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I enjoyed my cocktail, the Blackberry Mule. We had the shrimp bucatini and the Brewbun sandwich with sweet potato fries and then finished off with the bread pudding....yum.“
