Delaware Has One Of The Best Diners In The Country, According To Food + Wine
There’s nothing quite like having a hot meal at a diner. The charm, the decorations, the big comfy booths, the counter seating, the ambience just can’t be beat.
While some people may prefer going to diners for breakfast, don’t forget about the lunch. A good ol’ patty melt or tuna salad with a pickle and chips. I’m all in.
Food + Wine recently released a list of the best diners across the United States and one Delaware diner made the list. Where is it? None other than the Charcoal Pit right here in Wilmington. You can read the full story here.
The Charcoal Pit has been serving Delaware since 1956 and is home to award winning burgers and ice cream creations. President Biden was a regular to The Charcoal Pit back in his high school jock days.

Guy Fieri, host of Food Network’s ‘Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives’ has been to Wilmington restaurants on several occasions.
Fieri travels the country visiting unique and locally owned mom and pop restaurants, typically recommended by the show’s viewers. While at each stop, he spends time with the local owners, tastes their signature dishes and takes viewers through a step by step process of how the dishes are made with the local chef.
If Guy visits a restaurant, it’s a must try! As he calls it, he’s taking you to Flavor Town with each one of his stops.
Wilmington has recently been called a location for foodies, and we have so many restaurants now receiving national recognition. Some for their sweet treats and best wings, burgers or fries. Hotel DuPont was even listed as one of the best hotels in the United States for their food. That’s huge!
Have you tried any of these places Guy Fieri went to on his popular Food Network show? The Mayor of Flavor Town would never send us to a spot that wasn’t worthy of our time.
