FREDERICA PIZZA & PASTA

1491 FREDERICA RD, FREDERICA, DE 19946, UNITED STATES

DARLENE

Great Family owned restaurant. Home made dessert, but they run out quickly. They have a bar so beer & pizza !! VERY VERY busy so get takeout or go early ... Worth the try.

CAM GROVER

This place has become my go-to for pizza. I normally sit at the bar, order to-go, and have a drink while it cooks. Their cocktails are a little pricey, but worth the money. Whoever comes up with them definitely knows what they are doing. When they are busy, it seems a little chaotic, but I have never had to wait more than 15 minutes for food.

RATING: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“I will definitely be back this will be a stop to go when we head to the beaches the next time!”

JOHN HAYES

Had a lovely time at this restaurant. I had the chicken wings well done and a pepperoni pizza with green peppers. The place was busy but the waitress was very fast and friendly. The food came out fast and was perfectly cooked.

This has become one of my absolute favorites. The atmosphere is so welcoming and beautiful. The knowledge of the staff, the presentation of the food and drinks is top tier. If you are looking for a casual night with friends, celebrating or wanting a fine dining experience, this is it!

RATING: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

AIGO M (MISS AIGO)

Appetizers were good! Drinks were good, but their meat was okay. It was very chewy and I wouldn’t recommend it. It was very dry and overcooked. The rest of the food good. Only main course disappointed a lot. I expect their steak would be tender.

Bardea in Wilmington offers one of Delaware’s finest luxury dining experiences. Known for its opulent bars and elegant atmosphere, it attracts the city’s affluent crowd.

If you seek an exceptional fine dining experience, look no further than Bardea.

FELICIA TAYLOR

Stellar service, innovative dishes, and always high quality ingredients. My only complaint is that they sometimes run out of distress and don’t inform you until the food almost comes out, but you can’t go wrong with any of their other choices either. Massive portions for fine dining also, the half rack of ribs is huge.

CALEB HANNA

We had a great experience here. Tried the Street Corn Shrimp and the Grillmasters Feast. Both were excellent, with the street corn shrimp being our favorite. Lots of good drink options, got a fantastic recommendation of a beer, Head in the Clouds, and a fun mocktail option for my wife. Love the vibes here and the food and drinks were great!

1857 is an excellent brunch spot! The atmosphere, service, and definitely the food! They have a large deck with tables for when the weather is nice and a bar inside. There were so many things on the menu that I wanted to try. I’ll definitely be going back!

RATING: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

MARS GOULD

The food was amazing. We wanted to try everything but was informed Sunday morning was brunch only although being given both menus. The drinks on the back of the main menu so that’s probably why.

“Cheers to quality food and a great dining experience. Highly recommend this place.”

CALEB HANNA

We went here for the first time, and enjoyed really great food and service. I had the braised lamb, and my husband had the smash burger. Quality and portions were great. Drinks were also very high quality. Very happy that a restaurant of this caliber is available in Dover, looking forward to sharing this experience with our friends in the future. Thank you for the great experience!

RATING: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

NATALIE CALDWELL

What a lovely place for Saturday brunch. Indoor and outdoor seating options are both great on a lovely fall day. Tons of opens for the breakfast goer or those that want more of a lunch meal. Even more specials too. Highly highly recommend the Cali BLT smash burger. Perfectly cooked and delicious. Special Thai shrimp spring rolls were great but perhaps not worth $20 for five small shrimp. Otherwise great spot and definitely will be back.

First time here. The server was fantastic and helpful. Sat outside near the water. Very quiet and peaceful. Food tasted as good as it looks. Ordered an appetizer of fries, a medium pizza, and a tomato bisque with a ½ grilled cheese.

This is a hidden gem in downtown Milton. It’s a funky little dive type place with great food. Great pizza and great outdoor seating right near the canal. And there’s also a lot of interesting items hanging from the ceiling and mounted on the walls. Just fun.

Wow.. Just.. Wow.. I have not had a burger this good in a very long time. Temp was perfect. Burger was dripping with juice. And then there’s the bacon jam.. Never had I had one that was worth it’s salt.. until now. If the meal wasn’t already perfect enough, I also had Reily as my server with his top notch service. All around amazingly done Dough Bar. I am already making plans to come back.

The food was insane! Best taco my husband and I have ever had. The atmosphere gave us the feeling of being backstage at a rock concert. Even the bathrooms were filled with the same vibe. It was a great experience.

RATING: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Great place to eat. Had a great atmosphere with a Rock and Roll theme.”

SARAH MARKS

The garage/grunge band vibes were strong and made it fun without being overly nostalgic. In fact, it felt quite current. Aside from the decor, the food was great and a good value. Similar pricing to other fast casual Mexican chains but much better quality. We had an excellent lunch with our toddler. I was impressed with the service we got from the staff, especially the bartender who was making sure to refill folks' fountain drinks regularly. I expected it to be a good experience and good food, but I didn't expect the level it reached. We're already planning our return.

RATING: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

This vibrant eatery started as a humble food truck in Lewes, Delaware, and has since expanded to two brick-and-mortar locations, while also traveling statewide for events. Renowned for its authentic tacos, it serves them three at a time on perfectly small corn tortillas. Whether you're craving chicken tacos or another variety, each bite promises a delicious, authentic experience. Make sure to stop by for an unforgettable taco feast.

The food here is amazing fresh cooked. I had the burger and fries. The cinnamon sugar pretzel bites were the best I’ve ever had. Great selection of drinks. Very family friendly there are plenty of outdoor and indoor games for the kids. A great over all experience we will be back

RENEE KING

Wanted to check out the new beer garden in town, and it was a great time! You order right from your table via your phone and have the option to pay the tab right on it. The food and drinks came out super quick. Food was flavorful. The kids' hot dog, though, was a bit spicy for my 4 yr Olds pallette, but she loves the fries. This place is super nice. It has indoor and outdoor seating. They have plenty of heaters outside plus firepits. It's a great place to hang out. We will definitely be back!

Rail Haus in Dover is a top-notch spot! The atmosphere is great, especially during summer with outdoor seating and games. The service is prompt, and the cider is absolutely delicious.

The ambiance and aesthetic was nothing short of amazing. The customer service was undefeated, and the food... OMG! So fresh, such a wide variety, and so delicious! Definitely going again! They allow walk ins but making reservations is highly suggested to ensure you get a spot, it's just that good!

Maddie at the bar was awesome she handled everything fast and efficiently, made sure we were taken care of, was so nice when asked for something, gave us great suggestions, asked for feedback. Food was DELICIOUS. Didn't have time to take a photo of the food as it didn't last long on the plate. Atmosphere was friendly. Good vibes. The host was great at finding a place for us at the bar.

MANDY SWANEY

I love this place. The food is always great portions and taste great. My fish was PACKED with fish. It was so flaky and moist it was falling out from my fork. The house chips were great and the mozzarella sticks were HUGE!!! The Bavarian pretzel was super soft with lots of salt too. I’ve tried multiple things here and always am impressed

I had the Avocado Burger with the pickled red beets on the side instead of the fries. It’s one of the best burgers I ever ate. They offer lots of craft beers. But only a few are on tap. The rest are cans and bottles. That is fine with me. Still delicious! The atmosphere is warm and comfy. If you’re in the Dover area, make sure you stop and have a burger!

RATING: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

We have been trying to get here for several years but the wait is always been long but last night it was only about 15 minutes. I give the waiter three choices of what I wanted to eat and that was French dip, and a burger and fish and chips. He recommended the fish and chips. They were probably the best fish and chips I've had in a long long time. My wife got the Reuben and the pastrami on the sandwich was probably the best we've ever had. French onion soup was also very good.
