We've driven past this restaurant a few times and finally decided to give it a try. The food was decent, the staff friendly, and the restaurant looked like a typical chain takeout spot. We opted for takeout. Restaurant Rating: 3/5 Service Rating: 3/5 Food Rating: 3/5 Parking: Free Parking Lot Restaurant: There's nothing particularly special about the design or aesthetics; it looks like your standard chain takeout place. On the plus side, the restaurant was clean. Service: The staff was friendly and made the ordering process easy, which was nice since it was our first time visiting. Food: We tried a couple of dishes: -Pork Ribs with Collard Greens and Candied Yams: This dish was good, with flavorful ribs and sides. -Fried White Fish with Corn and Collard Greens: It was okay. The fish was a bit too salty for our taste. Conclusion: If you're craving soul food, this place will do the job. However, if you're looking for great soul food, there are better options elsewhere. read more

Food is always good, but you forgot one of my sides that should of came with the order. The container of potatoe salad was not in the bag. I live in Newark, so going back to the store was not an option. This order was called in so someone could have highlighted or made not of the potato salad needing to be added. read more

Looking for soul food? You should definitely check out Aunt Berta's kitchen. The restaurant is currently only open for drive thru service right now. Pack your patience or wait until they open the inside of the restaurant. The food was delicious and my order was accurate. I was not anticipating it to be with the amount of people that were waiting in the drive thru. I waited over an hour. I got the fried wing platter with Mac and cheese and candied yams as my side. The wings were delicious. The Mac and cheese was well seasoned. The candied yams were not overly sweet. Overall I was pleased with the food. The staff were friendly and did not seemed to be stressed out with the long line. The slow service I hope will improve once they get up and running at full capacity. I don't think the novelty will wear off since this is a brand new restaurant that is new to New Castle, Delaware. The drive thru hours are 11-8 Wednesday-Sunday. read more

Stopped in here because it had a good rating for the area and wanted to support a black owned business. Upon entering, greeted by friendly faces and a clean restaurant. The dessert and drink case immediately caught my eye. A variety of cheesecakes, pies, puddings & drinks. Bought 2 banana pudding cheesecake because from the looks of it I didn't want to share a slice with my husband. On to the food Mac and cheese- 2/5 a bit dry, not really cheesy and heavily seasoned. Not the typical Mac I'm used to. Candied Yams- 1/5 there was a taste that I couldn't stomach. A bit "perfumey" not sure of the word but the taste of when you accidentally taste your perfume after you spray it. I wasn't a fan. Turkey Wing- 4/5 good flavor and moist Salisbury steak- 5/5 veryyyyyy delicious! Both steak and gravy Banana Pudding Cheesecake- 1000/5 super super super yummy!!!!!!! Definitely banana flavor, creamy and light. Not overly sweet. read more

Too salty! The food contained far too much sodium. Americans have enough blood pressure problems as it is. Other than that, the food could have been wonderful. read more

Pick-up time for 5:57pm iI arrive around 6:20pm and after checking in for my food I yet stand there for another 10 to 15mins before having to ask for my order after the cashier called it out 10-15mins prior. Then the nonchalant attitudes should be left at the door. Poor Customer Service... Food Was sittin on the rack the WHOLE TIME LOL! SMH! read more

The chicken was not seasoned had no flavor. The green beans were flavorless. The macaroni and cheese tasted dry and old the sweet potatoes were OK but not good read more

I didn't feel like cooking but wanted a filling meal. I checked this place out on an early Sunday evening and was pleased by the variety of food they were still offering. I got the turkey wings, mash, greens, and yams. The cons: I was underwhelmed by the greens as there was no distinct flavoring and very bland (not Smokey, not tangy, nothing...). I am also glad I got the gravy on the side for my mash as it tasted like the pot it was made in was scorched at the bottom and indigestible. Pros: The turkey wings were to absolutely die for! Very juicy and flavorful! The yams were also a hit! Overall, I will be back, and will try some different sides. Their dessert collection also looked plentiful! read more

Extremely happy this place opened in DE. AUTHENTIC soul food. Fried fish platter was 10/10. Turkey leg 10/10. So flavorful and moist. Sweet tea was very very sweet but that's exactly how I like it. Wait was a bit long but that is bc everything is made fresh and to order. I'm just upset I didn't grab any dessert. Definitely recommend and can't wait to return :) read more

I had the whiting and turkey wing with candied yams and macaroni and cheese for sides on the mix and match. Others in our group had chicken wings, pork chop and chicken livers. The portions were great, the food was well seasoned and we all had plenty to take home. It was our first time and everyone was very pleased with the food. There were a couple of hiccups but the staff immediately remedied everything which is what you would expect for good customer service. The establishment wasn't anything special but it was clean. Since they didn't cut any corners on the reasonably priced, delicious food, I didn't need anything more. We're planning to go back soon to try other items. read more

No stars, Fucking horrible. Wings taste like royal farms, Mac taste like metal with salt|pepper on it & I didn't even dare trying the yams.

Slovenly staff and service. Virtually inarticulate people. Out of several things. Waaaay too much salt in the food and some of our orders were dried out. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Excellent service and excellent food. The fish, mac & cheese and greens is a must have. They also have a full dessert offering.

I had the fish, collards, and sweet potato. That greens was bland not sure what type of vanilla that was used but it was to much and the fish look like the grease needed to be changed. It was my first and will be my last. Highly disappointed read more

Great southern comfort food homemade, delicious and large portions. Several entrees to choose from with lotsa side to satisfy any appetite. Great meal deals for lunch or dinner. Plenty of parking and they even have a drive thru aisle. Call ahead for quick spot on pick up. read more

If you're looking for that Dinner they use to sell from Church taste, or Grandma's Sunday Supper... HERE IT IS . The Food was very tasty, the Restaurant was clean, and the Staff were friendly and accommodating. We bought the Fried 1/2 Chicken wit 3 sides (Greens, Mac & Cheese & Cabbage) for myself and Wifey got the fried fish, same sides, along with some seafood salad. Once she said it was Hittin' ( Slang for Delious) I knew it was going to be good because My wife will let you know! Don't hesitate get that Soul Food taste you been wanting. 5's read more

The manager has a nasty attitude. She's very sarcastic to the staff. An unfriendly to the customers. She had a roach on her shirt when I went in there today. I started to tell her but I just left. Never again. read more

Oh man this food is gooooooood! My sister and I stopped by Aunt Berta's during a road trip through Delaware. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, and it was clear that the restaurant was a much-loved staple in the community. I had a chicken tenders meal, which came with two sides. I chose a smaller (kids) version of the meal, which translated to two chicken tenders. Never have I ever had a server say to me: "the chicken fingers will take a few minutes because we make them fresh to order." Oh my goodness, was it worth the wait! The seasoning in the batter was delicious. They may have been the best chicken tenders I have ever had. I chose mashed potatoes and green beans for my sides. The mashed potatoes were flavorful and perfectly cooked. The green beans were fresh and stewed nicely with some potatoes. My sister had the mac and cheese, which she said was delish and full of flavor. She also had some of the cornbread, which complemented the meal well! For all of that food, the tab was $12, which means we got better quality food for less than any of the nearby fast food competitors. We will absolutely be back the next time we drive through! read more

I really enjoyed my pork chop platter with cabbage and Mac and cheese!!! The pork chop was well seasoned tender and lightly breaded!!! The cabbage was the best!!! I could have eaten a whole pot of cabbage! The food really tastes like you are eating at your aunt Bertas house on a Sunday! read more

Delicious. We are soul food connoisseurs out in these streets and auntie Berta is doing her thing. We got the Mix and Match...2 piece dark, of course, and 2 piece fried fish. Honey, the mf fish will change your life. It tastes like I made it ..Seasoned. Please try this woman's FRIED FISH. Mac and cheese wasn't wack n cheese, cabbage was flavorful. I would have liked a little more seasoning on my fried chicken, but I just brought my Louisiana hot sauce out. I'm not taking a star away for my fried chicken seasoning preferences because her fish and everything else on my plate was so good. So bump my salt preference. Try the soul rolls! It's thanksgiving dinner In one egg roll. Im about to put Louisiana hot sauce on that too and take another bite after I wrap this review up. **The service was also spectacular. Very kind and professional staff. Love to see my people do it and do it well. It apparently opened in November 2022 and still appears squeaky clean on the inside. Support and try this place xo.** read more

My friend told me about this location and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered take out, but you can dine in. There is plenty parking in their lot. The turkey wings, sweet potato and greens at Aunt Berta's was delicious. The dessert looked good but I passed on the desert. The prices are competitive for soul food. The staff was friendly. The ambiance was inviting. The restaurant looks clean. Fyi, they have a discounted lunch menu from 11am-2pm and a children menu. The only draw back was the long wait in line, and that depends on the time and day. I will definitely be back. read more

I've visited twice. They are very friendly and the food is good. I've enjoyed the fried chicken, fried whiting and Mac and cheese. Will be back! read more

My husband went through the drive-through today and got a bunch of different items. Fried fish and chicken were amazing and nice and crispy. Mashed Potatoes were seasoned perfectly and collard greens had a little bit of bite and heat which was perfect. black-eyed peas again delicious. The only thing that was not 100% was the mac & cheese, but outside of that, we will definitely 100% be back. read more

Sunday, February 9, 2025, Me and my boyfriend went here for the first time today, everything was so on point, the staff was so nice and polite, it was so clean, we ate there at the tables and the atmosphere was so calm and peaceful, they were playing gospel music, It was so relaxing, and the food was amazing. I give them 100 out of 100, by far the best Aunt Berta's i've eaten in. read more

I don't remember the last time I had smothered pork chops and these were awesome. Nice and tender and delicious. The collard greens and cornbread were also on point. Some people add sugar to collards to cut the bitterness, but if you know how to cook them, you don' need sugar especially when you can taste sugar when you are eating them. The same with the cornbread, some people add sugar, but if you order cornbread and it taste like a piece of cake, why? The whole meal was delicious, will be returning. read more

Awesome food! Had fish platter with Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy. Lemon pound cake read more

Excellent Soul food at a reasonable price. Eat in our take out. Friendly and helpful staff .

I had a terrible experience at Aunt Berta's Kitchen. My wife and I went there yesterday afternoon. I order fried whiting. As my wife and I left to go home, we noticed a foul smell. It smelled like old grease. When I go home I tried the whiting and it tasted good but left a nasty after taste in my mouth. My called and spoke to the manager, after 15 minutes of waiting and explained the situation to her. She told her to just bring it back. I took it back. When I arrived the cashier didn't even tell the manager that I was waiting for her. After 10 minutes of waiting, I finally asked the cashier if the manager knew I was waiting for her. No, she didn't. She finally comes over and I explained what was going on. She asked me what I wanted as a replacement. I asked her if the grease had been changed. She told me it had been filtered. I asked her if it had been filter in the last hour. She told me no and asked me what I wanted as a replacement. I told her that I would just like my money back. She acted like I was bothering her. No apology at all. On top of that, when my wife called she was told that the grease had recently been changed. I am all about supporting our people but I drove from Newark to New Castle twice for this kind of treatment. read more

I've eaten here twice and both times I've gotten different items.... The fried chicken wings, Salisbury steak , cabbage and sweet potatoes was good. The collard greens wasn't as flavorful as I wished and the mac and cheese was kind of bland in certain places and it wasn't cheesy enough for my liking. But overall I will eat here again. The service is fast and they are very polite as well. read more

I had to turkey wings , yams and the macaroni & cheese. Customer service was excellent and the food was delicious. Highly recommend.

I'm pleasantly surprised! The staff is exceptionally kind and helpful and the food is good! My favorite dishes so far are the fried fish, cajun turkey wings, mac and cheese and collard greens. We had Aunt Berta's do some of the catering for Thanksgiving (mac and cheese and collards) and our family enjoyed the food and assumed it was homemade. Remember that everyone makes "homestyle" food differently, but this is a great option when you want a good homestyle/soul food meal and you don't want to cook. read more
