Posted July 3, 20204 yr This can be an ongoing and open-ended thread for all things Delaware. Any other Delawareans? Anyone coming to Delaware that has questions?
July 4, 20204 yr Author What is everyone's favorite hole-in-the-wall or under-the-radar restaurant? I like the Mayne Dish on Kirkwood Highway across the street from the BJ's near Elsmere. It's a great Jamaican restaurant with good lunch prices.
July 20, 20204 yr No sales tax!! That’s probably the extent of my knowledge about Delaware. A friend of mine from high school had a beach house in Rehoboth. I also drove through it from Philly once to go down to Ocean City, MD. Beautiful 1 mile stretch! That’s all I got!
July 21, 20204 yr I used to like the Charcoal Pit. Just for a simple cheeseburger and a really good old fashioned shake. Is it still there?

Woody's in Dewey Beach has the best crabcakes. I've eaten at all the best places in Baltimore, this one is right on par with them. Taco Reho is a taco truck that sits out on Rt. 1, just outside of Rehoboth between the outlets. I don't even have a recommendation, everything they make is really good. They have to put something extra in the taco shells to make you crave them.

The original one on Concord Pike from 1954 is still there. The one in Pike Creek burned down about a decade ago. There's a Charcoal Pit sports bar on Kirkwood Highway, too.
August 25, 20204 yr I miss the Kahuna. I puked there once during a black crows concert after drinking "the bucket". Good times.

September 25, 20204 yr Total Wine Namaans Road.... my "im over the bridge so F it im going to total wine to stock up tax free" stop then hit the circle K across the street for some POLAR POP ACTION
October 13, 20204 yr Lived in DE pretty much my whole life. Bear, Pike Creek, Newark, and now in North Wilmington. Two hour drive to the beaches, two hour drive to the Poconos, hour and a half train ride to NYC (where my In Laws are located). I am happy here.

Asians own it, but the burgers are still the bomb. I'm down in Greenville fishing on all the private ponds. The DuPont, Carpenter, Hobbs families all live down there and if you get to know one, you're in. Good stuff. Plus, you can sneak into Hoopes which is unfortunately now ruined by teenagers from PA. Delaware BASS Page killed it. Used to be in North Delaware every day. Even would go musky fishing down on the Brandywine. Now I don't bother.

Super nice down there. Used to drive all those back roads there all the time. Especially a bit further up toward PA line. Buckleys was the prime watering hole. Years ago though.

I park down on Adams Dam and then sneak into Bidermann Golf Course at night to fish. Like shooting fish in a barrel. LOL.

We were usually just driving around getting into trouble, hanging out down by the river, whatever.
January 6, 20214 yr Hated Wilmington when I lived there. Immediately missed it when I left. Used to haunt the diner on Concord Pike, which I think is now a Dunkin Donuts. It was owned by Turks and a buddy who was Greek would always play the counter games and enter in "Turkslayer" as his name on every high score.
February 27, 20214 yr Lived there for years in the early '90's....worked for MBNA....f'ing hated Delaware. Although working for MBNA did give me the opportunity to open up their west coast office in San Francisco so I guess there's that....

Did you stay at MBNA during their transition to Bank of America, NYEagle? That was some time ago, but so was MBNA. EVERYONE worked there back in the day. Sorry ya hated DE, small states aren't for everyone.

March 30, 20214 yr Author Today is the anniversary of the Swedes landing in the New World in Wilmington in 1638.

May 5, 20213 yr The Costco in Christiana for their house brand Tequila Anejo, Vodka, and other spirits
