    Chicken over rice
    Kyle C.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Simply diabolical. I wanted a Wawa soft pretzel -- as a good red blooded American does -- but I…read moredidn't want to stop if they weren't gonna have pretzels. So I call. You know like a normal person. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Nobody picked up. I show up. And sure enough, no pretzels. What happened to this country? This used to be a place where customer service existed, and employees picked up the damn phone. Now it's like rolling the dice going to Wawa. Maybe they have pretzels, maybe they don't. But guess what don't try and call and find out. Because the employees don't wanna talk to you.

    What's interesting about this location is that up the road there is another Wawa that does not…read moreoffer gas. What is also interesting is that I had gone to that one thinking I could get gas, but was disappointed. I got gas elsewhere and when I did come upon this one I did stop in to get a refreshment. The lot is a tight squeeze when it is busy. I was able to find parking and make my way inside. I was really craving an iced tea and headed over to that counter to procure said iced tea. Why are things so difficult in the state of Delaware? Or is this a Wawa thing? Why am I forced to purchase my drink before having it in hand? What in the world happened for them to put this into place? Which one of y'all decided to run out of the store with a drink and not pay for it? I had to of looked like a tourist standing there with a puzzled look on my face. Not understanding why there were no cups anywhere in sight. Then to have to go to the counter to purchase this, I must of hit the lottery that day, because I had the most sullen looking woman wait on me. Gave me that tsk noise as if I asked for directions on how to make iced tea. Was I ever happy to leave once I got my iced tea. Swear I suffered from some type of drama from being in here.
