    They truly don't make em like this anymore. Walk through the doors and enter yesteryear, replete with Elvis paraphanelia, a charmingly ancient Coca Cola fountain, and the chit chatter of regulars and staff shootin the shit on a Monday morning. The furniture and plastic bread on the menu isn't the only thing that's stayed the same for over thirty years; the prices have too. You can grab the tastiest stack of pancakes on the Northeast corridor for under $5. If you're seated at one of the booths, you'll notice a sign that says, "We're not here to make money, we're here to make friends." It's that, "When you're here your family" thing, except these folks actually mean it! A tip from the locals is that you can BYO blueberries or chocolate chips if you want to bring your perfectly fluffy pancakes to the next level. Oh, and they'll always ask you whether or not ya want more butter ;)

    Angelo's was a pleasant surprise, we originally had other plans, but the location we were supposed to eat at didn't open on time. So as they say, the early bird catches the worm- we saw Angelo's up and running on our way, and thought it would be the perfect mom and pop type of breakfast joint to start our road trip off right. "Mom and Pop shop" isn't an idiom here, believe me they're keeping things old-school cool when it comes to decor, style, and most importantly Taste. Everything was made fresh, and cooked with a slow deliberacy that's often left on the wayside of modern society. I like to imagine, most people still remember that slow cooked food means more flavor. In the age of the 10-minute meal no matter where you're ordering from it's easy to forget. Angelo's on the other hand is a wonderful reminder that slow and steady can absolutely win the race. I kept things light- save space for a few other destinations and stops on the way out since DE is close enough to visit on a day trip, and a friend has family out this way so visiting again, is very likely. I opted for a McMuzzin (a take on MCD's mcmuffin) alongside Home fries. After all breakfast isn't /really/ breakfast without some type of fried potato to soak everything up. Let me start off by saying I'm normally not the biggest fan of English muffins, but i am a sucker for specialty sandwiches, and the McMuzzin was a pleasant surprise. The "muffin" was extremely fresh, extremely soft, buttered to the gills and ever so slightly toasted. If all English muffins came out like this, i think i'd be a lot bigger fan of them. Eggs were perfectly fried as well, 0 runniness, and the classic slapdash seasoning Salt and Pepper. Slapdash in thought though, not execution. remember how i mentioned slow and steady before? Pepper first, fried, and then ever so lightly salted afterwards, it makes all the difference in the world whereas flavor is concerned. You cant beat an open kitchen. There's something magical about seeing the food be made especially when you can understand and appreciate whats going into the proverbial crafting of your meal. Which is why i cant fault the lack of crispiness in the Taylor ham. Low and slow is the rule of thumb here, and it draws a lot of flavor out- believe me, Hatfield pork roll has never tasted so good. This mentality also extends to the Homefries potato and onion as well. Just enough structural soundness to stay on a fork to immediately fall apart in your mouth. Suffice to say food here is phenomenal, home-cooked goodness available for order. It doesn't revolutionize what breakfast is, but ill be damned if it isn't good. Outside of food, service is great, and the building is a window to the past, Americana would be an apropos description. My favorite quirk here however is the bathroom. The "Porcelain Throne" here is solely dedicated to The King. For the uninitiated, The King, is Elvis Presley, his kingdom, classic Rock and Roll. If your unfamiliar, you may also think it odd to dedicate a bathroom to a musician. Believe me it isn't- it's a dad joke in the making. The king died of cardiac arrest while on the toilet, making it a befitting memorial. That being said, rest assured i'll be back to Angelo's to time travel, sometime in the future. Flavor & Presentation 4.5/5 | Speed & Service 4.33/5 | Pricing & Portions 3/5 Overall 4/5

    Cannot say enough positive things about our experience at Angelos. We're on a road trip around the US and we try the iconic food of each state as we travel around. Scrapple was the food to try in Delaware and we are so grateful that Angelo's Luncheonette was the recommendation that popped up for us. Our kids have claimed it as their favorite food stop in the US. The service was unparalleled. Seriously the best staff that made our morning. Even the other customers were some of the friendliest and kindest people we've met in our travels. As we drove away they were waving through the window. It felt like a wonderful morning with family. Thanks so much Angelo's Luncheonette!!

    Best breakfast in Wilmington. Admittedly, the food is typical greasy spoon fare; it's the service and hospitality that keeps me coming back. The Muzzi's have kept this family run business alive for 40+ years and they have established Angelo's as a staple in the Forty Acres community. Their pancakes are the best I've had in the First State. Excellent breakfast food overall and their sandwiches are pretty good as well. Again, the food itself is not especially noteworthy; it's the ambiance of a mom-n-pop joint where the owners and customers interact that makes Angelo's so special and a fun place to grab a bite to eat.

    Finally made it to my Bookmarked Angelo's in Wilmington and wow was I happy ! It truly is a one of a kind place not much seen around here anymore. It's reminiscent of all the little luncheonettes that dotted the West Philly landscape when I was a kid. Locally owned/operated. Serving really good food in a kind, attentive and truly caring environment. Not only did the waitress serve well but the owner/cook came by and honestly took the time to ask every patron how they were, how the meal was and to not hesitate to speak up if anything was needed. Can you say "Customer focus?" Or how about "neighborly" It's located in a neighborhood in Wilmington with street parking. It is small with a couple of booths and 12 counter seats. The decor is in a word-charming. Take a look around and you will see a telephone sign from I think the 40's, an old cash register from the 20's ( the one they use is a 60's or 70's model) and I even saw an old soda fountain from the 60's. I went on a Tuesday and it was great. The coffee which was refilled often was one of the best I've had in all of 2014. The grill is in plain view and the cook( owner?) easily prepared a multitude of breakfast items on what appeared to be a well-seasoned grill. That's half the appeal of this place. My breakfast platter was splendid and I will be returning,

    Found this place by chance on a whim at the early stage of a weekend road trip with my buddies. The original stop although advertised as being open was closed. However at the end of it there was no mistake in coming here. We were promptly greeted at arrival by friendly smiling faces. The decor of Elvis and early Americana was great. The setup small but ample seating we opted for the counter. The food cooked to order and delicious. I went for 2 Eggs over medium with seeded rye toast, homefries and scrapple. All cooked in short order the chef keeping up conversation while attending to the hot griddle. In a way kind of diner throwback to yesteryear but the way more places should be. It made a great start for the trip. If I am ever in the area I'll surely be back.

The crab soup was oh so good and yes I found some shell but that was fine because this was real crab!! The delivery of my dinner made my. mouth water ... onon rings over French fries with perfectly beer battered cod that proved to me that the folks in the kitchen know what they're doing (flaky and moist cod yum). My dining partner had a cheeseburger, which in my opinion was ho hum compared to my dinner but she said it was really good. Oh, the coleslaw was top notch too. My only complaint... it was so filling I couldn't eat all those perfect French fries so they became part of the next day's breakfast! Was truly a great Friday dinner!!

They have great cookies (with nuts so if you have allergies, ask for the nut-free allergy cookies separately). Towels a bit stiff, hard as with no dryer sheets and didn't soak up water very well. Faucet was almost falling off the wall, had to re-press it back in and it was almost coming off again. Water pressure was good, though. Couldn't get the hotel phone to dial the desk, so had to ask for new towels at the front. Parking was plentiful. They have a restaurant downstairs (does not come with a complimentary breakfast meal). Two towers for rooms so two separate elevator banks. One couch by the wall - very comfortable. The one in front of the TV - squashed down, you can feel the supports through the cushions so not comfortable to wait on.

Upon getting into my room, it was filthy in the bathroom and the desk and bed frame had oily fingerprints all over. It was like the staff didn't come to clean at all. The ventilation is terrible too, there is no bathroom vent or fan, so it was misty in the entire room and was musty upon arrival. There were stains and hair from a previous guest in the bathroom too. The breakfast experience wasn't great either. They left their food uncovered and open, so the flies had time to land and walk all over the food. The staff also adds extra tip if you don't fill it out yourself. I will not be coming back!

    I'm a sucker for a unique donut shop and this was such a good stop. (We were visiting Philadelphia…read moreand had our son with us who had not been to Delaware yet and wanted to get him into the state). The restaurant was not what I was expecting. I thought it was a little donut shop, but it was actually a full restaurant/bar. The restaurant didn't really seem to be open yet, but the donuts at back were fresh and coming out for the morning. There were so many options it was very hard to choose what to get. These donuts were special, in that they are brioche and very large and fluffy. We got an apple pie and strawberry cheesecake donut. We definitely didn't need two, but "when in Delaware" I guess? Haha! The woman at the counter was really helpful in our difficult decision and was very friendly and patient with us while we drooled over the donut menu haha!

    The menu looked promising, but we'll never know. Unfortunately, we arrived at our 3pm reservation…read more The hostess was rude and didn't greet us.

Then we spotted our waitress and a few other servers vaping as the kitchen door opened. The manager was checked out as we were speaking with him. Needless to say the service was awful, so we left. As I said promising, but their staff and customer service is a complete turn off. Eat well folks! Ps. My daughter did a Yelp review right after we left but somehow it's been removed...
