Best Southern American Restaurants in Delaware City

Great good and excellent service. Our server Cory is the best.

We sat upstairs at the bar and it was great! Halloween decorations totally created a vibe! Our bartender was awesome! Great drink recommendations. So glad she found her magic wand!

Just wow! It’s like a well backed restaurant from Philly or NYC landed at UD. My wife and I both agreed that the place is nicely decorated, and that the ambiance is spot on if you like class without pretentiousness. There were seats across the bar for groups, seats by the bar for couples on dates, and seats to the rear where I’m sure it’s quiet. No space is wasted and everything fits. Our server, Alicia, was ALL OVER IT! She was pleasant and refreshing, and not once did we want for anything. What a great reflection on the restaurant! The food: when you go to a place that features steak, you get a steak, but before I did… I tackled the French onion soup. It’s was super! You know what makes it super? Its complexity and graciousness. Most restaurants that offer a FOS put no heart into it. Not here. One of the best I’ve ever had. Oh, the steak… I chose the cowboy chop (bone-in ribeye). From the perfectly crusted and fatty char, to the beautiful red middle, this steak met my expectations— which are high. I’ve been to that new steak place in Havre de Grace, as well as the one in North East (my usual), and Rockwell’s is now my top pick for beef. My wife got the salmon, and she loved everything about it. Also an instant favorite for her. Bottom line: we’re foodies, and Rockwell’s is awesome. We’ve been waiting for something like it for a long time. Oh, and the price is right. Parking to the rear, make reservations. Enjoy!

Beautiful, moody and delicious! Parking close by too
