I stopped by Lettie's with my mom yesterday for a late lunch before heading up to PA to visit…read moreLongwood Gardens. I'd had Lettie's bookmarked for at least six months, and recently saw that they won Best of DE Editor's Choice for fried chicken. In light of my not-so-secret love of Southern/soul food and fried chicken in particular, I knew that I needed to check Lettie's out, esp. after seeing the tantalizing photos on Yelp. Per other Yelpers' advice, I called in my order en route 20 min. ahead of time, which worked out perfectly for us. Upon arrival, I gave them my name for the chicken, and we ordered sides of potato salad and mac and cheese, as well as freshly brewed iced tea to drink (note: they only brew unsweet iced tea). After ordering, we took a seat on the wraparound porch, and they brought the food out to us in less than 5 min. From my first bite into a drumstick, it was clear that this was the best fried chicken I'd ever put in my mouth. The skin was perfectly crisp, with the perfect amount of breading to give it a satisfying crunch, and the meat was tender and oozing with moistness. My mom told me that this chicken was the closest she'd ever had to my great grandmother's fried chicken from Arkansas, and was "real Southern fried chicken." For my part, I can say that it's better than the fried chicken I had at several well-known Southern restaurants in Atlanta, as well as any fried chicken I've had to date in Pittsburgh. As difficult as it is for me to admit, it's even better than my own fried chicken! My only minor criticism is that the breading was a bit salty for my taste--but even so, its texture was so perfect that I can overlook it. As for the sides, both of them were clearly homemade, and were very good. The mac and cheese was made with a sauce that tasted like sharp white cheddar was used, and was on the creamier side of the spectrum. I don't even really like potato salad (I find it very bland), but I tried some and thought it was decent, which is high praise from me. It had small pieces of dill pickle, celery, and hard boiled egg mixed in, giving it some nice flavor and crunch. Needless to say, my mom and I were extremely impressed at the quality of the fried chicken from Lettie's. Although the chicken is technically broasted, since it's cooked in a pressure cooker instead of deep fried, it's difficult to tell that it's not fried--the only difference is that it's slightly less greasy on the outside. My only regret is that I forgot to order dessert, since I would have loved to try the key lime pie and my mom would have liked to try the chocolate cake, both of which I'm certain must be excellent based on the quality of everything else that we tried. If you appreciate good fried chicken and home cooking, Lettie's is a must-try--you certainly won't regret discovering this hidden gem in Hockessin!

I was even searching for recipes but I was 'out and about' so I called a friend asking for a search for a place with really good fried chicken and BINGO!! There is a reason that Letties is known for their fried chicken ... it is perfect! I ordered two pieces and a salad. I savored each piece. Service is warm and friendly; you have a comfy feeling in this EXTREMELY SMALL restaurant (Take out seems to be their strength with a nice selection of homemade foods (The chicken pot pie in the fridge looked really good.). Since the menu suggests homemade soups I asked for the soup of the day ... I was told the soups are ALL FROZEN. Well there went that idea. So I chose a salad to go with my perfect pieces of chicken. What was delivered to the table was a huge pile of shredded lettuce with some broken corn chips and a minimalist concept of tomatoes, corn and black beans. VERY DISAPPOINTED but the chicken was OH SO GOOD. My dining partner ordered the grilled cheese and it looked really good. I was told it was really good AND sitting next to the grilled cheese was a cup of tomato soup (If you scroll back you will see that I was told all the soup was frozen), which I was told was good. So, Lettie's loses a star for the obvious but they win four stars for really good fried chicken!

Disappointing Upside-Down Pizza…read more I ordered a plain upside-down pizza last night, and unfortunately, it was a very disappointing experience. I was expecting an upside-down pizza with a generous layer of tomato sauce that would add moisture and flavor to each slice. Instead, the sauce was extremely thin and appeared to have been spread over the cheese in little more than a dried-out smear. There simply wasn't enough sauce to provide the flavor or moisture I was expecting. The crust was another major issue. It was hard and dry throughout, and when I bit into it, it literally crumbled into pieces. The combination of the dry crust and lack of sauce made the entire pizza feel unusually dry. Based solely on the pizza I received, I would have to rate it as one of the worst pizzas I've had in quite some time. That said, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. It may have been a one-time occurrence or simply an off night in the kitchen. However, if this is representative of their typical upside-down pizza, I would strongly recommend taking another look at the recipe and preparation. I certainly hope this was an exception, because when done properly, an upside-down pizza can be excellent.
