There was something for everyone. We started with a couple appetizers and drinks. The CHEESESTEAK BAO BUN was actually pretty good. It's obviously not a traditional bso bun but it was delicious. The shrimp wontons were pretty tasty as well. I got the salmon entree and it was perfectly cooked and yummy. Everyone seemed to be happy with their choices. Overall, an A+ experience.

First, I want to answer another review... Roost Pub is a place you definitely should come to if…read moreyou're in downtown Wilmington! On a cold winter Sunday when parking meant squeezing between snow banks we could not have found a better place for dinner! It began with service, but doesn't it always begin with service? Our server was informative, friendly, and yes, appropriately funny. Our interactions with him throughout the dinner made the entire experience so much more pleasant! We made this choice for a very odd reason.. We had just seen him play where they mentioned cornbread and so we went hunting for cornbread. and the cornbread here ... oh my goodness it was so perfect! I went for the Maryland Crab Soup ... I was advised it would warm me up and that it might have a little bit of kick. It had a perfect kick, it warmed me up, it was filled with delicious ingredients, especially the crab and I pretty much licked the bottom of the bowl. My only complaint ... and this is my only complaint from this amazing day. is that the actual bowl that the soup is served in is one of those bowls that is difficult to get the last drops out of with your spoon. Our server highly recommended the mushroom flatbread but I went for the Cuban and he smiled and gave it a thumbs up. Fries, he asked, of course! Upon delivery both entrees looked amazing! My dining partners face lit up as she took a bite of the flatbread and then offered me a piece. Can I say OMG because this was amazingly good and perfection in a flatbread with those undertones of mushroom amidst whatever else was on top. My Cuban was huge And it was different than your everyday Cuban sandwich. but it really tasted good when I took that first bite. The french fries were perfection and the ketchup must have been in Sriracha ketchup it had that little bit of kick that I love. Because of the weather it was a slow day but our server said he just enjoys working at the Roost. We enjoyed dining there and will be back!

There is a bar area with some booths, as well as a large dining space. If want happy hour you have to sit at the actual bar though. We were greeted by super friendly and very nice hostess. We were seated immediately. Our server (shout it to Chloe) was also friendly and checked in on us throughout our visit. A manager of some sort even swung by to ask how things were going. If you have picky eaters or a large group with varies diets... this is the place to come. The menu is a book! Like it's robust. There are starters, burgers, pizzas, sushi, sandwiches... like it's never ending. When you see a book of a menu you wonder how the quality is going to be since it would be assumed that the kitchen has a massive amount of food that must be made on demand. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food that we had. Well done! Don't be intimidated by the menu. We ordered the potstickers which were tasty and delicious. They do have a little bit of a kick to them. Also ordered the special chicken biscuit sliders served with a side of white gravy. Get these!!! They were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. Also ordered a BBQ burger with sweet potato fries. The fries come with an icing like filling sauce. Burger was great and fresh. Overall, a great meal and would come back.

There are a few popular chains located near the mall like PF Changs and The Cheesecake Factory but I had never eaten at Tommy's and the menu items sounded great. It's one of the most extensive menus I've ever seen, serving everything from burgers to salads to pizza to sushi to pasta. They have it all! There's no reason to be picky here. Food is served hot and fast. My party of 3 didn't wait long for a Grilled Ahi Tuna wrap, a Brisket Sandwich and Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese. Everything came out relatively quick. The ahi tuna wrap was superb. Perfectly grilled tortilla wrap and the ingredients inside blended together beautifully. There was a hint of wasabi in there but it wasn't overpowering and I could still taste the ahi tuna. I added some soy sauce but it honestly didn't even need it. It's tasty as is. Awesome selection of beers here, too. I mean, it's in the name so no surprise there. Service was excellent as our waitress checked in on us multiple times and asked if we needed drink refills each time she stopped over. Tommy's has quite a few locations. It's nice to know I could probably find one when I'm traveling outside of my home state. Definitely come here if you love HUGE menus and phenomenal food!

The Gap is located in Wilmington Delaware (right behind Prices Corner). They have great food, delicious drinks, and the best bartenders! I came in on a Thursday night and they happened to have line dancing for a few hours! When line dancing isn't going on there's always great music and big dance floor. The bartender made a great spicy margarita and even checked in with me to make sure it wasn't too spicy! It was perfect! The food menu has a ton of options and everything is inexpensive and tasty! The shrimp Caesar wrap was loaded with flavor and served with fries. With so much more on the menu, I can't wait go back and enjoy the food, drinks, and great atmosphere!

Yesterday I stopped by to pick up takeout and brought my service dog with me because it was raining…read moreand I was only waiting about 10-15 minutes for my food. I was not dining in, just waiting for my order. The manager, Sam, approached me and literally told me to "get out." The way the situation was handled was humiliating and completely unnecessary. Multiple bartenders later apologized to me, and several customers even stood up for me because they saw how disrespectful the interaction was. Meanwhile, many people were petting my dog and had no issue with her being there at all. What made the situation even more upsetting was hearing from multiple people that another regular customer brings in a much larger German Shepherd without problems. So the rules clearly do not seem to apply equally to everyone. Sam tried to justify it by saying people could have allergies, but there are respectful and professional ways to speak to customers, especially when it involves a service animal. I left feeling embarrassed and honestly shocked by how poorly I was treated over simply waiting for my takeout order. Overall, it was a terrible experience and completely ruined my impression of this place. The only thing that would make me consider removing this review would be a public apology from Sam for how he handled the situation

During a day of exploring New Castle this past weekend, we had lunch at Jessop's Tavern. The…read morerestaurant has a ton of history - it's located in a building originally built in 1674. It's been many things in its history, but it's been Jessop's Tavern since 1996. (The family who owns the restaurant named it after a cooper named Abraham Jessop, who lived and worked in the building in 1724.) The restaurant has a great menu of food (including dishes inspired by the cuisines important to New Castle's early history: smorgasbord, a Dutch-inspired pot roast, etc.) and an incredible list of beers (200 Belgian beers, 20+ Belgian beers on draft, and more). We shared the Jessop's Tavern Crab Dip (served in a sourdough bread bowl) for the table, and I had the New Sweden Meatloaf for my entree (meatloaf with a vodka cream sauce and lingonberry preserves). I also had a couple of colonial ales - Washington's Porter by Yards Brewing Co. (I liked it so much, I had two). The service was good, and the ambiance is great: full of colonial charm. I'm sure there are other great places to eat in New Castle, but eating at Jessop's Tavern is a special place to grab a meal if you're spending the day exploring New Castle and learning about its history.
