Restaurants in New Castle

“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!”

“Best local crab house in Delaware!Foods great, servers are awesome always make you feel right at home…”

“First time eating here & we were very pleased. Excellent food, large portions, friendly staff & reasonable prices. Was pleased to find veal spitz. & Italian rum cake on the menu. We will be back soon”

“I can only speak on the quality of the cheese steak, fries, and drink combo - but they are all outstanding. This is a really hidden gem in Delaware for a cheese steak.”

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

“Without a doubt the best restaurant in Delaware. The pierogies, nachos, crab cakes, and burgers are 10/10. The service is awesome and Patty is the best!! Super friendly and quick service. The vibe in this place is awesome too- you can’t do it justice in pictures. Come check it out!!”

“great little place to hang out to watch the game! Great food and service! And cold beer!!”

“Good comfortable place, good service with the waitress Lorena

Parking: Lots of space

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps in good condition”

“I ordered a snow crab steam pot and added jumbo shrimp. Everything was really good. 😋”

“My sister and I were running around in Delaware with our kids and we decided it was time for lunch and relax. We stopped here for the first time and it was SUPPER. Our server, Marlon, was AMAZING! He remembered our 6 orders without any notes and he was supper attentive. He even made our kids feel great. Please stop by this location and ask for Marlon.”

“All vegetarian, lots of vegan options. Lots of tea, coffee (Local beans from Little Goat), cocktails, wine and beer. Staff is super friendly and it’s a cute place. Patio is nice in warmer months. Probably my favorite place for vegan food in DE.”

“I drive an hour from PA on the weekends just to get their combo platters, it is that good. Every time we come they’re friendly and service is always quick. I would recommend AK to anyone within an hour’s drive as the best place to get an amazing combo platter!”

“The service is great here, and this restaurant has been a staple in the family for year's. Also my waitress (Ivory) service was outstanding! Ivory was very thorough with everything.”

“great for children and adults! staff is always pleasant and the ice cream is yummy!”

“Food is excellent and the portions are unbelievable!!! Not only the food is tasty, you actually get a large quantity too. I strongly recommend New York Fried Chicken and Grill New Castle. The fries, fried chicken wings and the cheesesteak are my favorite?.”

“Great food!! staff is very nice”

“Best pizza in New Castle, debatable best in Delaware maybe best in the world!!!!! Sells by the slice and sells whole pizza both with a ton of options.”

“I have been a fan of this place forever. If you love hotdogs, this is the spot for you. Foot long dogs on great rolls. You can have them plain or with the works. Worth a trip.

Parking: Can get busy at lunch but usually you can find a spot”

“UPDATE: 2024 - Food Quality still awesome! We got the "grandma's pizza" and unfortunately it was overdone. They made us a new one and were genuinely concerned on us enjoying the food. Mind you, this was done after it was delivered and they'd already closed. It was EXCELLENT the time! BTW, if you're wondering its a Sicilian margarita pizza with the texture of tomato pie. REALLY GOOD! Also, El Pastor is a another big hit!

When we moved to the area, our neighbors recommended this little place. They are my top place to go to for pizza. Recommend trying the margarita pizza, its way better than Ninos! Wings are yummy too, nice and meaty. Be warned the mild, isnt mild but still is flavorful.

In honesty, their pasta game is okay. I'd say Porto Finos for burgers and pasta, then 3 coutries for pizza.”

“If you want the BEST COOK THE BEST WAITRESS THE BEST FRESHEST SALAD THE BEST MAC & CHEESE BEST LIVER GRAVY AND ONIONS ALL FOOD Surrounded by the CLEANEST area around IT IS here!!!”

“I just wanted to take a second to say the wings at this location are the best I ever had! Just the right amount of sauce and nice and crispy just how I like them.! Mohammad Eusuf who was at the front desk when I arrived . He was so nice and pleasant and actually cared I had such a long day. I really appreciate this store for providing great customer service and great wings! Thank you so much !”

“Terrific food and we were so happy to try it. You can tell great care was taken in preparation too. we ordered two big platters, hit tea called Chai and loved it. Total was below 50 bucks and we are so full. I am not even vegan and would come back in an instant. So many places to eat in the USA but few take great pride in their work. Thank you for caring in your food preparation!”

“Love Y’all Cheesesteaks SO Good & Rolls ALWAYS Soft”

“I come here all the time and today I came with my son and the owner came out and gave us free dessert. that kind gesture means a lot to me and my son. This is a family owned business! Please support and the food is amazing. I highly recommend.”

“While the staff is wonderful, it is strange that the kitchen doesn't understand the difference between boiling a perogie and frying a perogie.”

“Es súper bonito y uno se siente cómoda y cómodo y entregan rápida la comida y bien organizada 😋☺️☺️”

“I've been ordering pizza 🍕 from this place on my lunch break and it's really good but today's cheese steak combo was even better I recommend for a quick stop”

“Coming from Philly we expect certain foods to be a certain way and 3D’s fit that bill. This place was recommended to us by several people and I was not disappointed. Food is fresh and good ALWAYS. We are slowly working our way through the different foods and don’t have one complaint so far. Thank you to everyone who recommended and thank you 3D’s for the deliciousness ?”

“Best meatball sandwich I have ever eaten!! Meatballs were so fresh”

“Food was Delicious and the service was Extremely Friendly Fast and Efficient with a lovely atmosphere... It Definatly will be a family favorite. La comida estuvo deliciosa y el servicio fue extremadamente rápido y eficiente, con un ambiente encantador ... Definitivamente será un favorito de nuestra familia.”

“The all you can eat buffet is AMAZING, Fresh made to order. includes the specialty rolls too!!! Get yourself there!!!”

“Vegetarian options: No! Not I’ve seen! I just love their chicken it has become a necessity. I was getting everyday, and I’m not over exaggerating when they say everyday. There were days I would be there it would be my 3rd visit. That before,I still go as often as I can, it’s just the money is not there!!

Dietary restrictions: I love their chicken!! I’m afraid you will find anything there that will stir clear from any of the restrictions. So if you need to control you cholesterol or your sodium intake. I highly suggest you pay Salad Works a visit!!

Parking: There’s free parking spaces that consists of one single strip the length of the strip that had an out 15-20 businesses in the strip.That is crowded every say all day! Yes! There’s free parking but available parking practically not existent.

Kid-friendliness: Absolutely friendly!! However, it’s not a very but place! I don’t mind taken my grandkids there but there’s not a lot of room you can barely move but people. So no the side of caution, you’re not in there’s very long! I suggest not to bring kids of you can help! Just to be safe,not sorry!!

Wheelchair accessibility: To cross the threshold of the business I would say yes it is accessible. However, to navigate from the parking lot to the business, I’d have to say no! I never really took notice but I don’t recall seeing a ramp or flattened area to get to businesses in the plaza! I’m not 100% certain, there’s no accessible section for a wheelchair, If there’s a way then it would be at the opposite end of the strip. New York Fried Chicken is at the end of the strip.”

“great food and awesome service!”

“By far the best pizza, cheesesteaks and fries in the area. Lunch specials are the best around. Turkey club is my go to.”

“Cake was absolutely stunning and delicious!”

“Tacos el compa Juan 💯% recomendado un excelente servicio y la comida único y exclusivo sabor de mi Jalisco , tiene menú familiar para chicos y grandes las famosas quesibirias y el famoso consomé estilo Lagos de Moreno Jalisco todo riquísimo atendidos por la familia hermosillo amador , pasen a probar las delicias no se arrepentirá…..”

“I ordered brown stewed chicken, rice & peas w gravy, and cabbage. It was very tasty and flavorful. My chicken was tender and juicy. Also, I liked the fact that my cabbage was firm and not soggy. Their service could be a bit faster, but overall it was a good experience.”

“Sunset Subs and Steaks is our favorite spot whenever we travel from New Jersey to Delaware. We always make it a point to stop here. They have the best cheesesteaks in town, packed with meat, cheese, and perfectly grilled.

This time, we decided to stop for breakfast. We ordered two egg and cheese wraps with mushrooms and our favorite sauce, Boom Boom. This sauce is a delicious mix of peppers and garlic that will take you straight to heaven if you like spicy flavors. The wraps were loaded with mushrooms, and the eggs were perfectly cooked and never dry.

Listening to the owner’s suggestions is always a good idea; he really knows what he’s talking about. We appreciate that everything is fresh, of high quality, and clearly made with love. This family-owned business is dedicated to serving the community’s needs, and it shows.

Sunset Subs and Steaks is definitely a place to visit whenever you’re in town!”

“Always be my family local bar. great regulars & guests. coldest beer in town, great jukebox & two pool tables. Go back to 1964, a simpler kinder time.”

“Chicken sandwich lettuce, pickle, mayo with fries always delicious, made juicy and cooked to perfection. The Cajun spices are delicious in the chicken sandwich, thank you for great service and ”

“R-C deli is the best”

“The New Castle, Delaware Starbucks is a convenient stop right before the Delaware Memorial Bridge. If you're looking for a sweet, creamy pick-me-up, the Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino is a satisfying choice that captures the essence of both coffee and dessert.”

“This location is probably one of the best. My food is always hot and fresh. I ordered the chicken and shrimp with rice and it came out excellent, everything was seasoned well and the portion size was large enough to eat in more than one sitting. I honestly have no complaints.”

“The best sushi place in Delaware; thank you for all the hard work that went into making it the best! Awesome fresh sushi of all possible kinds, fast courteous service. Highly recommend to anyone traveling near.”

“Great food, great customer service, love going there.”

“Absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Best Mexican food in the state!”

“Very good tacos and quesadillas ❤️”

“Was very impressed

Kid-friendliness: When I went there was a little boy freezing cold with food but didn't buy it there and they told him to come in the dining area and warm up and eat his food. Not sure why the parents let him out at that time in that age and that weather?So yes they're kid friendly”

“The New Castle Capriotti’s location is everything we love about the brand—consistent, delicious, and generous. Compared to other spots, they don’t skimp on portion sizes, and you can tell they take pride in maintaining the quality Capriotti’s is known for.

Whether we’re grabbing a quick lunch or stocking up for the road, this location always delivers. Friendly service, well-made subs, and the kind of portions that make you feel like you got what you paid for. A standout among Capriotti’s locations!”

“Yes, drive-through service doesn't have "atmosphere," but if the food is what you expect and is served quickly, with a smile, it is worth 5 stars.”

“While I like most of Stoltzfus’s items, I’ve been disappointed in their chicken salad. It used to be a staple in our home but seems like they’ve changed the recipe. It’s now so runny with mayo (or whatever they use) that it plops right off our sandwiches. They’ve also seem to cut back on the celery which added a nice contrasting crunch. Please bring back the old recipe.”

“Only place I get sushi. Great service, prices, and quality. I highly recommend their TNT roll. I also love their vegetable roll, when i want to eat a little heathier.”

“We randomly stopped at the New Castle Farmers Market on a drive elsewhere and randomly happened upon Los Jarritos and thought it was some of the best authentic Mexican we’ve had on the east coast (don’t you love it when that happens?).

We split a burrito with pork and green sauce and a chicken tamal. The burrito was better than the tamal but we still thoroughly enjoyed both.

The pork in the burrito was exceptional - and the red and green hot sauces were an ideal complement.

Chips and salsa were also delicious - can’t tell if they were included or not but our total bill including a Mexican coke was less than $16.

Stopping at this flea market felt like a portal to another world for us out-of-towners, but we enjoyed the experience and would happily go back to Los Jarritos.”

“Some of the best wings around!”

“Walt’s killing the Buffalo chicken cheesesteak Would 💯 recommend”

“Food was delicious! Love the outdoor seating!”

“The hot wings are spectacular, consistently extra crispy as ordered.”

“!fjfjfjfjfkgvjcjcjchvjvjvjvj”

“Nice hidden spot enjoyed myself”

“This establishment is highly accommodating to vegans such as I with their delicious hot chocolate at no extra cost to bear plant milk (unlike some of those unethical large chains). That lead to an enriching conversation between Christian and I. Their wide variety of coffee flavors also gave me a delightful breakfast flavor this morning with their Smores-flavored brew.”

“Yes!Thank you! delicious!”

“The New Castle Farmer's Market was one of those places early on I was eyeing to check out when I moved out to Delaware. This especially includes the whole wing that is Stoltzfus' different shops. For my first time here, I decided to have some breakfast as the market opened.
Being a sausage sandwich shop, I was definitely expecting some sort of breakfast offering. This is something they definitely offer in addition to a lunch menu. For that morning, I had their breakfast special which is a sausage with egg...and optionally cheese, onions and peppers...on a sausage roll, served with a hashbrown and drink for around $10. You can also choose between a mild sausage and a spicy one; given how hit-and-miss sausage can be for me, I stuck with mild.
The sausage was well-cooked, juicy and just about the right about of snap from the casing and the eggs were fluffy and fresh...but maybe needs a little bit of salt to taste. The roll does a great job holding up the sausage and fixings. The only shortfall was that the hashbrown was a little greasy and perhaps a little small for a side; won't hold it against them that much as hashbrowns aren't the easiest form of potato to keep grease-free.
There is a sitting area behind their stand behind Stoltzfus' bakery stand so you can sit and enjoy that sausage or their other fare including other breakfast dishes. The atmosphere...it's a Farmer's Market so I don’t over think it. It simple yet functional and feels like how a market stall should.
I might come by for their lunch menu sometime (which I believe is served from when the market opens except on Sunday when the Stoltzfus stalls are closed). But for breakfast, definitely give them a try. Pro tip: be sure to pick up a pint of juice from the nearby juice counter for breakfast.

Parking: As part of the New Castle Farmer's Market, there's a very big parking lot with plenty of spaces to park. This includes spaces for those physically challenged. The doors are also automatic so access is also not a problem.”

“Great service and top quality ingredients; definitely recommend this location, food is always fresh and done to perfection; since my job relocation I have made this my number one go-to on a daily basis, little to mention the operator of this location has impeccable service with top quality fresh food… Best Place to Get Fried Chicken, my own opinion better than their competitors in the chicken industry.”

“Lunch special was a great deal!”

“This store has a fair number of weapons for sale. The cashier Dylan striked up an interesting conversation with me about firearms and how his favorite is a 6 Hour 365. After this engaging conversation, I all the more wanted to buy at least one thing from the store (I hate to go into a small store and not buy anything). Initially, I couldn´t find anything that met my particular interests. Then, I came across a Qing dynasty coin, which I happily bought. I hope this store offers more foreign currency in the future.”

“Fried chicken is worth buying 2 or 3 of for yourself. Good people and have never had anything bad from here. Everything I've ordered which is almost everything on the menu has been great. Only place I order from when it comes to Chinese food”

“i’ve been going here for years. best chinese take out i’ve ever had hands down. it seems sketchy on the outside but the employees are extremely nice and food is always fresh. the beef and broccoli is my favorite!”

“I loved the curried chicken platter and size of the portions. Definately will eat and repeat. Do your stomach and taste buds a favor visit Spice N 'Nice in New Castle, DE.”

“My husband and I have been here a few times for his pool League. The barmaid Shelly is very friendly. She was very helpful with recommendations from the menu. We've had the chicken cheese steak, chicken tenders, and hamburger. My favorite is the grilled chicken salad. It's generously sized and topped with an entire chicken breast. The chicken is very tender. The fries are delicious as well.*** They add a 3-4% (can't remember the exact amount) fee for credit card payments. They do not allow tips on credit cards. TIPS ARE CASH ONLY. Although this can be a bit of an inconvenience, we make sure to bring cash.

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs”
