Absolut cranberry and oj

Ok, Shellhammer's is back off our list. It is just too inconsistent. The last 2 times we were there the French Dip and the London Broil on the caesar salad were chewy. Gross, the food has definitely gone downhill. I have been coming here since maybe 2007-ish, and we loved stopping here because it's open late. It's always been inconsistent, but now it's just bad. This is where we discovered cheesesteak egg rolls, but we found some better late night options elsewhere.

Great little getaway

Great food, not a typical bar selection. I have only been here about 4 times and I have only had burgers. They also have a variety of entrées that sound good but the $10 burger special on Wednesday is amazing for the quality. The service is good and attentive, especially with clearing and refills. The overall feeling of the establishment is comfortable and friendly.

Came for a reserved lunch with friends Our waitress was amazing and personable! The pot sticker appetizers were so good! I ended up getting the Chicken Florentine for my entree. It was tooo cheesey for my likes in the end. And I suppose, a combination of the cheese and shells made it almost have a strong smell also. The chicken breast in the entree was moist Plenty of free parking infront of restaurant If I'm ever in the area in the evening, I would love to come back and check out any happy hour vibes

I've had my eye on this place for a couple months. I knew I was going to fin my way in here and I finally did. Well I ordered to go but still enjoyed my experience. First off the customer service here is awesome. Everyone speaks, very friendly and attentive. I come from the city where that's not always the case so that was a plus for me. I called and the phone was immediately answered. My questions were acknowledged and answered with no issue. I ended up ordering the Cheesesteak and wings. Both of which were very good. The cheesesteak moist and not dry which I love. Wings were cooked just the way I asked (rarely happens). Only thing missing was a little seasoning on the cheesesteak but that was an easy fix once I got in the house. $16 for a cheesesteak and wings, I was happy. You can't beat that. I will definitely be going again. They also have specials during the week and Brunch on Saturday and Sunday.

$6 Cheesesteaks all day Mondays. And it comes with fries or coleslaw. Good solid bar cheesesteak. The fried onions gave it a lot of flavor. Decent COVID compliant crowd and everyone sounded like they were having fun.

Shellhammer's is a great under the radar bar and restaurant!! The staff is amazing. They are a lot of fun and knowledgeable about the food and beers on tap. Their brunch, their ambiance, their specials, their cold beer, and their food are all worth the visit

See all

We stayed at a local hotel close to this location. I read about it online, so we decided to give it…read morea shot. We had two appetizers; oysters and warm pretzels. I need to give a moment of silence for the queso, it was soooo good! I could have had a massive bowl of that and been happy. It was amazing! The oysters were ok, but the pretzels and queso blew them away. Do order this if you try this restaurant. My husband ordered a a burger and fries. This was amazing. He let me try some, I was blown away. It was so good. I ordered a fish which was also amazing. The location is quaint and comfortable. It is a bright restaurant with a happy, busy bar. Our server was wonderful! She was prompt and so helpful. We will be back!

First time at a Two Stones Pub. Went with my partner…read more Thursday night the place was not too busy. I appreciate the happy Buddah statue decor near the entrance; it give the palce a unique and fun flare. The TVs around Us were showing video games and poker which was great for me since I don't really watch sports. They are also doing a food drive since I saw a box with cans in it. Not sure how long they're doing it though. As I took a look at the menu - at first glance it seems like a standard American bar menu with burgers, fries, nachos, salads, wings, and sandwhiches, but upon further reading I noticed the ingredience are a bit diffrent. This is where it really stands out. Subtle changes to some classic foods really shines at this place. Example: PeeBee & Jay Burger/Dirty Kettle Chips Overall we had a pleasant experience at this place and really feels like we could be regulars. Service is good, food is good, drinks, good, and portion sizes are excellent. (2) Alcoholic beverages, (1) appitizer, and (2) entrees. Bill came out to about $61. (Not including tip) Shout out to our server JASON. He was very attentive, we watched him keep that same energy with the other tables around us. Very honest and knowledgeable about the menu. Helped us pick items on the menu, gave us really accurate descriptions of the foods and drinks. Great personality energy and helpful, Drinks: beer and seasonal sangria (good) Food: Caribbean Sweet Potato Fries - We ordered a small, the portion size was great to share for twc people. The jerk sauce gives the fries a spicy kick to them which is a slow build up the more you eat. The salsa was great and really balanced out the spice, 1 appreciate the quality of mangos being just perfect (not too tarte or super sweet). Sweet potatos weren't very sweet but that was fine with me since I generally don't eat sweet potatos. These were propbably the best sweet potato fries I've ever had. Fish Tacos with a side of garden salad with Herb Vinegrett dressing - Fish Tacos were good. the sauce was spicy, a lot spicier than I expected. Fish was well fried and good size. It didn't have a fishy taste to them so it felt fresh. The Herb Vinegrett dressing was sooooo goooood. I wish i had more of it. I can't even describe it other than it was so good. Chopped Santa Fe Salad with requested Jerked Chicken - Chicken was well cooked and juicy. Just the right amount of dressing and chicken. Ratio of sauce to salad was well balanced. Jerked chicken had its own flavor which added to the salad as a whole.Overall really good.

Solo brunch after the recent Seahawk Super Bowl win…read more Anthony was a friendly, knowledgeable waiter that sadly let me know there wasn't anymore grits for my shirmp and grits so decided to take his recommendation. A nice spicy fancy tomatoes soup with egg. The sour cream cut down on the spice with the nicely toasted bread. Prefer the high top table as a casual spot to eat before exploring the chaos of the Christiana mall or Fashion Center

Subject: Formal Complaint - Unacceptable Staff Conduct and Management Failure…read more To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report a deeply troubling experience I had at your Turning Point Restaurant location. What occurred was far below any reasonable standard of customer service and left me feeling unsafe and disrespected. During my visit, a male server verbally accosted me -- using profane language, making threatening remarks, and treating me in a wholly disrespectful manner. This behavior was entirely unprovoked and completely unacceptable in any setting, let alone a dining establishment. What made the situation worse was the response from management. Despite the incident taking place, the manager on duty took no meaningful action to address the situation, offer an apology, or ensure my safety and comfort as a customer. Their inaction sent a clear message that this kind of conduct is tolerated at your restaurant. I am requesting the following: 1. A formal written acknowledgment of this complaint 2. A full investigation into the conduct of the staff member involved 3. Appropriate disciplinary action against both the server and the manager who failed to act 4. A direct response to me outlining the steps taken I sincerely hope Turning Point takes this matter seriously. No customer should ever be subjected to threats or verbal abuse, and no manager should stand by while it happens. I look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, Kwame

Nice vibrant place to grab some happy hour specials at the bar or enjoy a night out with family or…read morefriends. Lots of parking available and seating too. 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.

Couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit Tommy's Tavern & Tap after some retail therapy at…read moreChristiana Mall. 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!
