Wendy's

A super cute little gem of a place located in the heart of Dover. Super quaint and tucked away with…read moreplenty of on street parking, as well as a parking lot in the back. Tons of seating! Lots of intentional planning went into this design. There's an indoor bar, dining room, outside seating of all kind (under tent & not), as well as a bar that has garage doors that can open to the outside. There's corn hole and other things to do. This place is a vibe with a German touch! Plenty of beers on tap, as well as some clever cocktails! They even have beer cocktails that feature their drafts. Service was exceptional! We sat at the indoor bar as it was raining. Stephanie was terrific. Very attentive and friendly. Ordered two drinks...Drunk in Love (delicious), and Beerloma (delicious). Highly recommend both of these. They had lots of other seasonal options as well that sounded delightful. Nice to see a pub theme place also craft some great drinks for the non beer drinkers. We ordered the burger on a pretzel bun and the German Street Diner. Both absolutely delicious!!! Impressive that we have both food and drink on point! No notes. The fries are great too. Don't leave without the cinnamon and sugar pretzel bites with the Carmel and white icing dipping sauce! We got out to go. Don't leave without them. Awesome!!! Such a terrific find. Wish we lived closer. Well worth the stop! Not far off of Rt 1 on way to beach too! Don't skip this place! It's amazing.

Loved the concept and setting. The beverages came out fast and they were nice and cold. My wife had…read morea Strawberry Mimosa and I had a .5L Warsteiner German Pilsner. Both were tasty. The food was ok to sub sub par. My wife had the bratwurst sandwich and she enjoyed it very much. I had the schnitzel sandwich with a German Potato Salad side substituted for the fries. Well, I didn't care for the puddle of liquid that completely soaked the bottom of the sandwich bun - I had to pour it out onto the pan that it arrived on, and there were not enough napkins to keep my hands dry and clean. The pork schnitzel was over cooked, not pounded to make it tender, and the breading was dark brown, almost burnt. I was hungry so I ate it. To make matters worse, the potato salad was a fail fail fail. The fingerlings were good, but, like the sandwich, it was sitting in a pool of liquid. In this case it was oil. Tastless so it added nothing to the dish, and there was at least a 1/4" of it under the potatoes. To say it was unappetizing would be kind. I had to pour out the oil onto the pan. There is no excuse for a kitchen to make pair of mistakes like this. Sadly, no wait staff came by to check on us, which was probably a good thing. While the QR code thing is "cool" it cannot replace the customary service model where waitstaff takes the order, and either a runner or the waitstaff brings the meal, and checks in on the table at some point. I was taken aback that we had to include a tip before even seeing the food or the waitress. For a little background, my wife is a German citizen, but born here. I was a hospitality consultant for a few years. We both know what constitutes good food regardless of ethnicity. I have been to at least 5 beer gardens, and even more German and Swiss establishments. I have prepared many schnitzels, and many German potato salads. Aside from the oil slick the flavor was ok. It would have been better if they used a little of the bacon fat, together with some white vinegar and a little beef stock, as a dressing for the salad. This is really easy to make and hard to mess up, but somehow the kitchen didn't get it right. I didn't give it a one star rating because the beverages, the ambience, and my wife's sandwich was ok. I may come back at some point since we are often in Dover. But I will not be ordering the potato salad or the schintzel. To be fair, a second visit would have to be a game changer for me to not give a one star rating. Wishing you guys the best of luck. The place has potential but someone has to pay more attention to both the kitchen and the front of the house.

I suppose chef's idea of what s smash burger is varies but by definition smashed burger is a burger that is smashed very thin. Not a fan of 55's "smashed" burger. Do not recommend if you expect a very thin smashed burger. Everything else was fine though. Good and prompt service. Maybe chef can smash burger until it is paper thin? Just a suggestion

We ordered our usual drinks to take advantage of the hour, but when the bill came we were charged the regular fee. When we asked about the charge, we were told that that applied to only certain drinks, Oh well... Then for my meal I ordered the 12 oz. Ribeye steak, rare with steamed veggies and potatoes. The only complaint I have about the meal is that although size-wise the steak covered half the plate, it was only 3/8 to 1/2 in thick and chewey. That is not their usual fare. I was expecting the steak to be somewhat smaller in area but thicker and more tender. Although tasty, I probably will not order that entree again.

We've found two great pizza places here recently and this is one of them! Honestly, really hard to come by good pizza in Delaware. The other menu items were serious bonuses for me since apps are lacking in this state too. Service was great, attentive enough but not over the top. Also, yes, they do offer a military discount. Good music on, quiet for a weekday afternoon which I like.. I'll be back!

I will never go back to this Wendy's again. All their employees just want a job where they can show up and breath. Time after time they always get my order wrong. They try to ignore you when your talking. Everyone there needs fired and it needs to be closedown down. If you want Wendy's you better go to Smyrna. I'm telling you now if you eat here you'll be disappointed and your 4 piece nugget will only be a 2 piece. Your coke will taste syrupy and only be half full. You will have hair in your food and yes your order will be wrong. read more
