    Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure
    James P.

    Different cheesesteak #1117 in the last five years. Is there such a thing as a Popi/Corner restaurant? $8.80 for a large mushroom cheesesteak. I like $8.80 but that may be high compared to other Popi/Corner stores. I stayed true to my word and did not order mayo on my cheesesteak. I asked for it, 'the way they usually make it.' They put mayo on it and I liked it.

    Chicken over rice

    These guys grind hard. They were in the middle of prepping a 25 person luncheon when I walked in. They still got us in and out the door within 20 mins. Portions here are healthy sized. Prices are low low low. As long as you're willing to go into seedy underbelly of Wilmington your belly will be well rewarded. I washed down my gyro and koftas with a $1 tall boy of Arizona ice tea. You simply can't eat like this in the suburbs. Everything here is made to order so it is hot and fresh. I enjoyed everything I ordered (gyro, chicken over rice, and lamb koftas). The white sauce is delicious, I always ask them to give me extra. I think I need to move to hood.

    Cold stale fries

    Unfortunately you get what you pay for especially when it's delivered. I ordered a six piece fried shrimp and fries and a five piece fried chicken with coleslaw. The chicken was over cooked and dry. The fries were cold and stale. The fried shrimp was hot, so it was obviously cooked last. It was decent. I also ordered a peach cobbler. They preorder already made cobbler that they heat up and send to you. Not very impressed with this place.

    Clean, please, knowledgeable, staff, kind. Food is good. Generally good parking. I like their fried chicken, their corn fritters, and their shrimp. Great pizza.

    Chicken and lamb platter
    Neha P.

    Pros: Open late night Large portions for the price Friendly service Cons: Location isnt the best Food: It was decent. White sauce was too tangy, almost like a ranch sauce. Hot sauce was your standard hot sauce by Reds hot. Food wasnt fresh by any means as the guy behind the counter lifted up the lids for the pre-made chicken and pre-made lamb. Meats weren't dried out, but again it wasnt freshly prepared. Overall: I'll have to try their cart as reviews seem like that is the better option. Stay tuned. Overall decent, but the place on Walnut definitely takes the crown for best rice platters in wilmington in my opinion. Check out my reviews for deets.

    WILMINGTON'S HIDDEN GEM! I loveeee this place! I live in Trolley and the local Greek place (Opa Opa) is overpriced and just honestly not that good. Semos has some of the BEST gyros I've ever had and they are literally $4.99. Such a great deal because the meat is seasoned *perfectly* and the gyros are huge and fully loaded with veggies and yummy sauces. My husband and I always get one lamb gyro, one chicken gyro and then split fries. This comes out to about $10 and is always so delicious, totally worth the drive. We go here every few weeks for takeout.

    Semo's is a great spot for fast food. They have lots of variety including fried chicken, pizza, gyros, halal food, water ice. The halal chicken over rice plate is really good, but note that it's a bit different from NYC halal carts if that's what you're used to. The seasoning has a tad less spice and they use parboiled rice instead of basmati. The fried chicken and gyros I've had were also good. The guys that work there are friendly. I especially appreciate their hours because not many places in the area stay open as late as them.

    The lamb and rice is legit. Very nondescript storefront, but the food is well worth it.

Happy hour means $6 well drinks, so my standard is rum and diet Coke. Good drink, single pour of Cruzan. I chose to dine at the bar because the weather was a little steamy out. But I later took my second drink out onto their riverfront patio, and sat awhile in the shade of the building. It was lovely. For snacks, I ordered the blackened filet medallions and the garlic mussels. On a skewer, four hefty pieces of excellent beef were joined with a nifty horseradish dip. I did cut the steak into several bites per piece, so it was a good sized portion. My only preference would have been some garnish (greens maybe?). The mussels normally come with bread, but I let them keep it in the kitchen to sub my own GF bread from home. The broth was thin and lightly flavored, which I enjoyed almost like a soup (but was too embarrassed to tip the bowl). The patron to my right bemoaned the loss of a thicker broth from a previous recipe, so the bartender brought him some scampi butter which helped apparently. I really loved the light broth and found it soaked into the bread quite nicely. Friendly bartender gal cashed me out at my request before I took my drink on the patio. $30 plus tip, well spent. I could be a regular here, and look forward to another visit to Wilmington next time we are in Philly.

It took almost 20 minutes to get my food but these were some of the best (and messiest) wings I ever had! I don't know how they get them that crispy but they were excellent. Prices were on par with most food trucks not cheap but fair. This place is a good choice for a more interesting fast casual meal.

What didn't do it for me at Snuff Mill: (1) The aged NY strip was just ok; I've had more tender steaks at random chains. (2) None of my 3 cocktails was a homerun. (3) Seems like the reservation system is deliberately wonky (nothing available online for the day I wanted but no problem when I phoned). (4) I've had better meals for half and even one-third the price. Service was professional and attentive. The dining room size is small and might inhibit conversation, but you'll be fine once the alcohol kicks in. I would certainly go back--there were lots of other things on the food and drink menu that looked good--but probably not anytime soon. Whereas I would gladly go back to La Fia and La Fête tomorrow.
