A touch of local flavor in this fast food joint with a retro vibe and menu of themed hot dogs, burgers, fries and shakes. Try a junkyard double burger or a Delaware Destroyer Hot Dog named after George Thorogood, my HS classmate and neighbor. Yes, he always was "BAD TO THE BONE"!

The first time I shopped at Wegman's I felt like a kid in Toys R Us!! They locally source their fresh and organic produce and prime meats. They have a really nice selection of wine and craft beers, a wonderful Pub with delish food, an on site bakery, salad, soup and entree bar, freshly made sushi by their in house sushi chefs and a pharmacy and florist. They have the best cheese and cured meats selection I have ever seen in a grocery. If you are Gluten Free this is your "go to" in our area. They specialize in pre-prepped packaging of fresh food that would be the ideal solution for you to use our outside grill for a complete delicious meal. We lunch there often. Great for portable picnics.
