Been here several times. Great place for a burger, although they are a bit inconsistent in food temp. I would recommend always ordering at least one level more done unless you love very rare. They advertise local sourced ingredients, including the beef which makes the burgers quite fresh. The restaurant appears to pull in a lot of families, so can be rather noisy. If not into squealing kids, recommend weekdays. Always hopping but can be clouded at lunch. Quite a find for Delaware. read more

Always great food!! The fresh fried mozzarella is amazing. Burgers always cooked as ordered

Incredible beer selection & perfectly medium rare burgers, but the fried food was limp & doughy (fried anchovies, cod, fries). The broccoli slaw tasted like candy--too sweet even for my daughter. Pleasant service, clean restrooms. I just wish they fried food crispy. Generous sizes for children's portions.

its ok i guess i'm not a huge fan ngl........ huge burgers tho could only eat half of mine

Nice, great service, good brews ( I dont drink ) but lots of different types & tastes.

What can I said about this restuarant? Wow...the burger in this place was awesome. I will be courageous the next tiime trying some crazy combination. The Elvis top with bacon, fried bananas with peanut butter. I have the NFB(Not For Breakfast), it has bacon, eggs and a thick patty medium to perfection. Just look at these pictures....I also included part of the menu. Also, they have awesome fries. read more

See all

I'm not even a burger person and I love the burgers here. My personal favorite is the Santa Fe Burger. Cheddar, bacon, BBQ sauce (I skip the onion straw type things)... Delicious. Great beer selection as others have noted. But honestly, I would come here for the fries. I love them- hot, crispy on the outside, flaky inside, and smothered in malt vinegar. I prefer to come during the week, when business is a little slower and there usually isn't a wait. read more

Great place for a burger. Local fresh ingredients Makes the difference. Never had a bad meal. Plus it's locally owned.

The storefront is unassuming, but the atmosphere inside was very welcoming. The meal couldn't be beat, and the staff was friendly. They are known for their burgers, and have daily specials to keep things fresh. They are also known for their fresh doughnuts made in house, but my flight and burger had me too full. 10/10 will return read more

My wife and I stopped here on our way from DC to the Dover AFB museum. This place is excellent! We arrived right when the restaurant opened, and were seated promptly. Our server, Jordan, was helpful and friendly - taking care of everything we needed. Lets get down to it. The food here is fantastic. Our appetizer was the fried artichoke hearts with spicy mayo. Delicious! PRO-TIP: save any leftover spicy mayo to dip your fries or burger in - it's just that good. My wife enjoyed the Santa Fe burger. Perfectly done medium-well patty served on a brioche roll with a mound of fried onions, bacon, and smoky bbq sauce. I had the avocado burger, which was just a good. The tasty surprise was the homemade pepper relish that was lightly sweet, and just right in the spicy department. For dessert, we split the butterfinger cupcake, and we recommend that you do to - so good it gives the fancy cupcake shops in DC a run for their money. If you are in the Dover, DE area, this is the place for a good burger!!! Can't wait to get back. read more

We enjoyed our experience very much. The interior is well organized and very clean. The food was excellent. Sure it may be a little pricey for burgers, but you get what you pay for. My British girlfriend says this was the best fish and chips she has had since moving to this country 10 years ago. They also have a good beer selection. I like the fact all their meats are purchased locally. We will be frequenting Restaurant 55. read more

Great first time experience...def will be back!!! All aspects covered from soup to Nuuts!! read more

My favorite place to get a burger. The soups are amazing also. We have always had excellent service. The burgers are fresh. The buns are great and you can build your burger any way you like. They are always cooked perfect. The Sweet potato fries are the best I've ever had. read more

Stopped here on the way to Rehoboth based on a trip advisor review. Nothing fancy but perfect lunch, get the burger it was awesome. Im not a beer person but they had a good list. Not far off the highway so easy stop on the way. read more

Went on my way to have a car serviced in Dover. Sat at the bar. Bartender was very attentive and efficient. Ordered a burger and fries. Burger was slightly undercooked, and not particularly tasty. Fries were excellent. Food came quick,y and was good value read more

We were on our way home from Long Island New York and was looking for a place to stop. It had been a long drive and I use the Yelp app to find a place to stop. Restaurant 55 came up with good reviews, good burgers, and a good selection of craft beers. We were not disappointed... The waitress was very helpful, and very friendly, And very willing to help us out. John got the fried anchovies and said they were yummy. Craft beers were delicious we each got a flight, not disappointed. The burgers were delicious mine had a root beer barbecue sauce and John's had bacon. The fries were delicious. They offered cupcakes for dessert but we were not hungry afterThe big burgers. It seemed a little dark in there, a lot of noise from the bar, but the manager took care of that. Would we return? Absolutely read more

55 Burger is nice. Buffalo Chicken wings, mini chess burger and french fries are delicious. Service is a little bit slow but acceptable. read more

After driving past this place time and time again over my life as I commuted to work, I realized I had never given this place much of a thought. It is part of a sort of strip mall on the side of the road and is thoroughly uninteresting from the outside. It's so uninteresting, in fact, that I *never* noticed it after driving past it perhaps 60-70 times. But, after my meal today, I don't think I'll soon forget it. I came through with a few co-workers who wanted a bite to eat. My manager suggested this place, so we gave it a shot. We didn't have to wait for a table at all during lunch and were waited on right away. This place has an open, classy atmosphere that's great for socializing. I got the Black and Bleu burger while the other two got some sort of salads with lots of dark meat in them. The burger was huge, which is a huge plus for me. It tasted great, and the fries that came with it were VERY good. No matter what, try some of their fries. Though I was there with co-workers and couldn't get drinks, I noticed their lengthy list of craft brewed beers. Restaurant 55 also gets its meat from a few farms close by and supports the local community at lunchtime. This is a local small business with great food, pleasant service, a friendly atmosphere and all the "small-time" beer you could ever dream of. Honestly, what more could you ask for? Hope you get a chance to try them out and support them. Enjoy! read more

Local hangout. Off the beaten path. Good drinks and food. They have the best teriyaki burger I have ever tasted. French fries were awesome. One of our companion had the fish and chips, it made me wished I ordered it, maybe next time. Our waitstaff Travis was excellent. Would go back again, I recommend this place highly. read more

Restaurant 55 - Teriyaki burger! - American Near Me - Dover, Delaware

Once our favorite place for burgers, but now after our last visit we may not return. Burgers that were once the juiciest are now reheated dryed out meat. Service was once excellent now you are ignored. Fries once great now soggy and greasy lumps. Very disappointing after so many years to fall so far read more

Consistency is key here. After all these years and a big turnover in employees I still love this place. Maddy is my new favorite server now the Jordan bailed UGH Tony and Zack are the bestest bartenders of course my wife Mia loves Mary and Desiree but honestly the coolest person there has to be Mackenzie the hostess. Because of her bright smile and outstanding attitude all the food is delicious even if they forgot to melt the cheese on my grilled cheese sandwich lol. read more

Hands down the best burger in town. The bacon patty is a must try. It is the perfect blend of beef and bacon ground into what dreams are made of. I thought it would be a gut buster but it is flavorful without being to heavy. read more

Delicious food, very fresh. I strayed from the path and got the special of the day.....Jambalaya.....At a burger joint, but it was actually pretty good. The shrimp was a little overcooked, by about 30 seconds, but the dish was flavorful and well designed. I wish I would have been able to try some of their beers, definitely a reason to go back though! The fries looked really good too, Boardwalk style fries. Will be back for sure. read more

Pleasantly surprised. Don't be intimidated by the dull interior. On my way out of Firefly music festival, I was determined to get something palatable in my stomach. After a few Yelp searches and my girlfriend striking down my suggestions, we found ourselves here. Although initial impressions were depressing, I could not believe the flavors present in our perfectly cooked burgers. Interesting, delicious, and quick. The decor is fun and lively as well. This is a restaurant that I would visit even within the city, and thats saying a lot considering the wasteland its situated in. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out. read more

If you love burgers like I do then hit up this spot! Meet up with friends for food and drinks, with family, or if you're just want a burger !! You won't regret it!!!! Headed there with my sister as I type read more

The service is slow. Be ready to wait several minutes for someone to notice you. The food is alright. Not bad but definitely not the best burger in town. The plus is they do have a large selection of beers. read more

Great beer selection and the competence necessary to make a great burger, though I certainly had my doubts when I got that anchovy fries appetizer. Points for even offering anchovies on a menu, period, but for all of the heavy battering the fish received, it was hard to tell they were even there. Aside from the extremely overwhelming presence of salt - that was a good giveaway. But whatever fears I had were alleviated once I tried the burger. Restaurant 55 knows how to check all of the boxes for a great burger: brioche bun, local beef seasoned well and cooked to a pretty good medium rare, plus those awesome deli pickles that I enjoy so much. And the fries, double-fried (though maybe a little under-seasoned) and perfectly crispy. I wish I wasn't working that day and could have enjoyed the beer selection, but this isn't Mad Men. Probably would have had a cupcake had I not been given a tremendous amounts of fries. Restaurant 55 knows how to make a great burger, and they execute it well. Best burger in Dover? Probably, though that's not saying much given the type of restaurants for which the city is known. read more

Overall underwhelmed, the burgers are ok nothing to write home about! They jam customers in like sardines & it's noisy !

The food is exceptional. Great burgers. The French Dip sandwich is over the top. I also really love the root beer bbq sauce. Great on burgers or fries. If you love craft beer like I do, their tap list changes every week. Excellent place to sample new beers and the cost for a full flight of 5 beers is super great. Definitely my favorite spot in town. read more

Delicious burgers, with tons of options for toppings. Sweet potato fries with an OK dipping sauce, would be better if it were a little sweeter or use maple syup instead, but still tasty fries! Prices are completely reasonable! read more

Good burger joint and craft beer restaurant. Different daily specials and a bartender chosen beer flight. Cozy and friendly staff, almost a diner feel. Great appetizers available and Cupcakes for dessert. Located in Magnolia, a definite diamond in the rough. read more

Service was fine and we easily sat out party of 8. I had the sage/beef combo burger on a pretzel roll and it tasted like a giant breakfast sausage which was disappointing. I wish it had tasted more like a hamburger with slight pork flavor. The biggest disappointment happened at the end of the meal when my "double chocolate" cupcake came and did not have any icing on top. Furthermore, the cupcake tasted like a devil dog and not much like chocolate at all. It was infused or filled with a small amount of something resembling chocolate chip cookie dough. In which case they should call this cupcake cookie dough stuffed devil dog cupcake without icing. read more

The food is so good, the burgers are amazing. A must eat at place :) The service is also great very friendly. They also have great specials not your ordinary place. read more

This is one of my favorite DE restaurants. The burgers are phenomenal and the beer selection is top notch. Love that you can pop in for lunch, dinner or drinks after work and usually find someone you know. This place needs to be featured in Burgers, Drive-ins, and Dives read more

Amazing place! A friend of mine tried the meatloaf! Looked very tasty! I had the fish and chips! Very pleased! Beer selection is also amazing! Nice atmosphere. Had dinner and lights were nice and dim. Separate bar area. Very clean place. Must try. read more

Restaurant 55 - "Dogfish head beer to drink music to" is the name of this Belgian beer. Great selection here. - American Near Me - Dover, Delaware

We went here with a large party, it was my first time visiting this establishment, and I've got to hand it to this place! We had a party of over 25 people and both the service and food were timely. The server was professional and friendly. I had the chicken cordon bleu sandwich. While the chicken was a little bit dry (it wasn't what I was expecting, as a cordon bleu sandwich usually has breaded chicken and this was just grilled chicken), it was still a perfectly sized portion with a very fair price. I'm just sorry that I hadn't learned of this place sooner, seeing as it's right in the neighborhood! Will be returning, for sure. read more

One of the best burger places in Delaware. The sweet tea is a must have. The staff is always friendly and courteous. When you get a chance you have to try the specials. Although I must admit I did order the cupcake for desert one time and didn't really like it. To me it was dry, but I'm not much of a desert person. But this restaurant is in my top 5 picks for restaurants. If you do appetizer try the chicken wings. It has excellent flavor. read more

Very nice place inside, with really clean bathrooms. I had the turkey cobb burger which was really good and my husband had the pulled pork which was even better, they have good fries too. I had a margarita cupcake for dessert and it was also good not too sweet it was perfect. read more
