    Chancery Court, Wilmington,DE
    Lisa H.

    Wanted to check out Chancery Court. Floor looks like it hasn't been mopped in a while. However our RootedAF experience was great! Loved the service! Had a great discussion about what we should order. Enjoyed the meal and drinks! (Black AF and Malibu Sunset)

    The food is out of this world! Looks like maybe one should avoid the Jicama wrap, but otherwise, everything else I've seen and had is excellent. The beef and cheese empanadas are out of this world! I mean they alone are worth having as your only meal and traveling from Philadelphia just to have- they are that could. Juicy "meat", flavorful dough- just all around crispy and tender and oh-so-good! You don't have to be a vegetarian to go ecstatic about this. It's one of Wilmington's latest best kept secrets. Some may say the preparation time can be like 10-30 minutes because there is so much care to the food and a lot of orders. This place could definitely use some more staff than one person if it's feasible. The strawberry crunch cupcake is flavorful and familiar cupcake textures. The samplers I had at an event beforehand doesn't do justice to capture the quality of flavor and texture of the cupcakes served here. Strong strawberry flavor with a sliver of jam (not too much but just right) and the flavored crumbs complementing the cupcake so well. The smoothie was a healthy blend of different juices and I couldn't have enough of it. In a market that typically only locals might visit because Wilmington doesn't stand out as a city to many, the market itself is beautiful with local musicians who do acoustic performances of your favorite modern, 90s or older cover (you don't usually get to choose), and maybe some local originals depending on the band. Clean facility, visually appealing, clean and plentiful bathrooms, finding the location can be a bit tricky as the windy roads to find downtown can be a bit awkward to an outsider. The garage actually has 3 levels and not two levels like I originally thought, as the basement level "entrance" is at the end of the ground level parking. Don't drive? "No problem!" Take that d@m# regional rail to the Wilmington stop, and then walk those 18 minutes or so to the other side of town to eat here. You won't regret it! When you go in, if you don't notice the elevator to your right, there is another one across the hallway on your left, then if you took the one on your left, you have to cross the big lobby area to get to the market. Also, I received a Chancery discount card at a Yelp Elite event and it had a QR code on it. The code did not apply a discount at all and RootAF told me only certain vendors took this discount and they weren't one of them. The food here is too good and also of anyone needs to get docked, it is the Chancery market for such a gimmicky card and not RootedAF. You know if it's a bit hard to get to and locals are still coming out that it HAS to be good. Rooted AF fits right in! 11/17/23 addition: #ThankYouThursday for having a place that offers quality, flavorful food at reasonable prices and even in a less noticed venue for non-locals. Making a healthy alternative delicious and not feeling like I am eating medicine!

    (V) The Pinky Cole was so delicious!

    I tried this during HBCU week and I was so happy to have a vegan option for food. It was fresh hot and delicious I wish I could've brought more back with me to California. Highly recommend for any folks looking for vegan options! You must try the Pinky Cole! The staff and owner were also very friendly!

    Located in "the CHANCERY MARKET Food Hall & Bar" (i.e. food court) with indoor as well as outdoor patio seating, this is a comfortable spot to get a meal. Convenient to 95, you're only a few miles off the interstate. Maps will take you to the parking garage. We opted for a parking meter not knowing parking would be validated inside. Good to know for next time. My son and I got vegan chicken cheesesteaks. We both found our meal delicious and satisfying. The price of food has gone up everywhere hence a tad more than I expected. But no matter, the friendliness of the servers, the cherry ambience, and the quality of the food, (as well as it being all vegan, sparing us any headaches clarifying the diet) make this a place we will keep on our radar when taking this particular road trip route in the future. YES: 100% Vegan

    Ki was simply amazing! She was kind and had an wonderful spirit! We will be back to visit often. We came from Newark to support this black owned business! The Pinky Cole cheesesteak was PHENOMENAL!!! The empanadas are worth every single minute we waited for all this fresh flavor!!!! THANK YOU, Ki and @RootedAF

    Soft Girl Era, "The Slap Burger", (V) Empanada - 1 Beef and Cheese, fries

    Updated review is as follows because of the food court's online ordering system confirming my order but not actually sending the order to the restaurant. The first review I left was unfair to Rooted AF and was a reflection of the food court and/or the third party online ordering system, NOT the restaurant itself. I got the slap burger, fries, beef and cheese empanada, and soft girl era drink. I didn't personally try the food because it was for someone else, but she told me it was all really good. The vegan beef was very meaty and hearty. Chipotle crema sauce in the burger was fantastic and worked so well in it. The drink was a soft girl era, which I forgot what it is, but it was also really good. Like the best lemonade you ever had, but with a really nice herbal taste to it. Terrell, the gentleman who took my order over the phone was very knowledgeable and knew all the drinks and everything off the top of his head to help me order. My girlfriend picked the food up and said he was very professional and laid back and friendly. 6/5 stars

It took us a long time to order because there were so many things that looked amazing. A regular customer highly recommended the chicken Caesar salad. We gave in to our cravings and ended up trying the bacun mushroom Swiss burger, the save the ocean fish sandwich, the daily deluxe chicken sandwich and the island breeze smoothie. We totally enjoyed everything and would def have them again. The fish and chicken tasted like fish and chicken. Haha. The burger did not taste exactly like meat but had a meat-like texture and was still a tasty burger that I will order again. The buns and veggies were very fresh, the cheese on the burger was melty and delicious and the sauces/aiolis were perfect. My only tiny ding would be that the fries portion should be larger for the price. But I'll still give them a '5' and we will go back to try the salad, the cheesesteak sandwich, and maybe a couple of their tempting baked goods. Just FYI, there was another group of first-timers that came in right behind us (vegans and non-vegans). They loved their food, too!

What truly stands out is the level of creativity and execution coming out of the kitchen under Chef Brandon Beringer. This is a fully plant-based tasting menu, but it never once feels like a compromise. Each course is intentional, beautifully presented, and layered with flavors and textures that rival any traditional fine dining experience. The progression of the meal is especially impressive -- dishes build on one another in a way that feels curated and purposeful, not just a sequence of plates. It's clear that a great deal of thought goes into both the composition of each dish and the overall arc of the evening. What makes this even more notable is that Ground Provisions has earned recognition as a James Beard Award semifinalist, a well-deserved acknowledgment of the quality and originality of what's being created here. For anyone who appreciates thoughtful, chef-driven dining -- whether you're plant-based or not -- this is a must-visit. It's not just a meal, it's an experience.

Basically a menu stress test. And every single dish was a hit. Pan fried pork dumplings and crab rangoons were perfectly crispy, tofu spring rolls came with an addictive dipping sauce, pad kaprow (not a typo), crave-worthy pad Thai, and rich and flavorful chicken and red curry. The vegetarians were very happy too, which is always the true measure of success. The staff? Incredibly friendly and attentive without hovering. The vibe?

They have one gender neutral restroom stall. It has the prettiest wallpaper. We were stuffed by the time the dessert menus came out.
