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 ;) read more

Visited this location several months ago after reading about it online as having an excellent breakfast. Major disappointment. Location was nice and service good but food was mediocre at best. Coffee not hot. How can you explain luke warm coffee??? Better breakfast at Wawa. Heard it is for sale. Hopefully someone can do something with this location. read more

Unbelievably disappointed! It looks great, super cool vibe, original owners still working the grill and the cash register but....man, the food was horrible. I can't even describe how bad the breakfast potatoes tasted. Like maybe they were made a couple days ago and left on the counter? Sausage that was super salty but no flavor. The egg was just ok. I really wanted to love it. read more

Scrapple, egg and cheese on white toast, $6.25, cash only. I don't think things have changed much at Angelo's in the last 25 years. Good meal at a fair price and Elvis memorabilia, what more can you ask for?? read more

Angelo's Luncheonette - an old phone on display - Sandwiches Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Wonderful atmosphere and good, hearty food. I've only been twice since I rarely get time to go during the week, but go whenever I can! Lovely people and terrific, welcoming service. read more

Angelo's Luncheonette is in its 57th year, still owned and operated by Angelo's son, Moses, who personally cooked every order, and seemed to know the name of every customer that passed through the door. I have been to dozens of diners across the United States and Angelo's is near the best. The menu and prices are traditional and fair; Angelo's fully embodies the concept of "American" cuisine. Its familiar, cozy atmosphere retains the identity of a time that has long passed in many places. It is wholly evident that Angelo's is loved deeply by the local community, and for good reason. I will absolutely be returning, and recommend Angelo's Luncheonette to anyone who appreciates authentic food served by honest people. read more

This place slaps!!!!! I got tbe account and cheese steak and jesus. sex to the mouth. The old man made this with LOVE. god bless him

This place is incredible. I believe it is an actual mom and pop operation. Had breakfast here as I was passing through and I'm disappointed that I only get to go there when I pass through. Incredible food and service. Such an incredible little place tucked in a great little neighborhood. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. read more

Food is good they even have vegan options. I'm Beyonce is great it takes you back to the good old days.

Yelp asks "Is this place divey?" Tough question. If I answer "yes", will people think it's a greasy spoon with a layer of filth covering everything? If I answer "no", will people think it lacks charm? Look, this place is awesome. Good people, great atmosphere and good food. What more do you want? read more

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 read more

Finally got around to trying Angelo's Lunchonette. Nice little corner spot for breakfast and lunch. Owner was a nice guy with covid right now and everywhere being slow he'll start up conversations. Got eggs with homefries and scrapple along with toast. Scrapple was cooked fresh to order which is always nice. 2 nice little slabs. Homefries were alright, I got them with onions but there wasnt much onions that came with it. Some of the potatoes were still hard in the center. Theres better home fries in other spots nearby. Overall a nice spot to visit, be prepared to wait sometimes but I'd still recommend trying this place out. read more

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!! read more

Angelo's Luncheonette - Sandwiches Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

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. read more

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, read more

Hidden gem here in Wilmington. We had French toast, pancakes, eggs, home fries and bacon. Really great service, home cooked delicious breakfast, no complaints... looking forward to visiting again!!! read more

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. read more

Food was slightly overpriced. You could get a full breakfast meal at a diner for what they charge for an a la carte sandwich. The scrapple egg and cheese on 9in sub roll was as good as they come, but not enough to fill you up. Home fries were old and hard..Their coffee is awesome, but the refill fee is too much. The elvis decor would be cool and eclectic if the place didn't look dark, dingy and cluttered. It could use a cleaning and a yard sale. Also they only accept cash (theres a prehistoric debit machine on site which i wouldn't trust) Theres too many options in the area to be that inconvenient. read more

Angelo's Luncheonette - Scrapple egg and cheese $7.50 - Sandwiches Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Amazing food good people!! Service is amazing, food is always yummy!!! Love coming here in the mornings!

I was a stranger but felt like a local coming in the morning to eat breakfast. Love this spot. The food was fresh and service was lovely. I'm glad to have eaten here on both of my visits. Thank you for an amazing breakfast while I stayed in Trolley square. read more

This is a great local diner. I generally go for breakfast. They have a menu but they will generally make anything that you want. They have a few booths and a long counter as well. The food is good and well prepared. I am a local, so I enjoy the scrapple, egg and cheese sandwich. This is no frills but a great neighborhood spot to try. read more

The restaurant is one of those hidden gems...it is a small intimate neighborhood restaurant. A lot of locals were inside. The food was good no complaints, my husband had a breakfast burger and it was cool just perfect for him. They were even willing to accommodate our dietary needs on how we wanted our food cooked. I know that I gave it 4 stars but that's mainly because for me it was a bit on the pricey side. Given all that is going on in the world I understand this but I must be honest for a neighborhood spot I expected it to be maybe 6 bucks for the burger instead of the 8 that we were charged. But other than price everything was exceptional. Great service and great food...I would definitely recommend this place as well as go back again when my funds are more expendable read more

I love this cozy spot. Great folks, great conversation...great food!!! I got the turkey club with fries. Simple but just what I needed & I loved sitting at the counter talking with everyone all around!!! Not many places like this in DE. But there's something about being able to talk to complete strangers & feeling perfectly fine doing so!!! If you're in the area check it out!!! read more

Angelos has been there since I was a kid, friends would grab drinks and a breakfast before getting on the bus for school! They are always delicious no matter what you get, and always friendly service with a smile. I don't go here often enough, but I cherish the moments that I do! I like getting the scrapple egg and cheese on a bagel, since I usually have to run out right after! There is always a crowd in the morning with regulars, but that's when you know it's good. read more

Really good home cooked food. Always liked this place. Service was great and prices reasonable. I will be back!

This place has some history!!! What a gem of a place!!! Nina was super friendly and Muz can cook a mean omelette!!! If you don't try this place out you are missing Americana at its finest!!! I'll definitely be back!!! read more

Angelo's Luncheonette - Spicy Italian Sausage and Cheese Omelette - Sandwiches Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Angelo's is what you want when you're looking for the quiet little out of the way nook. Breakfast and lunch served with a smile and the tone of voice that makes you feel like you've been like family for years. You'll grow to love this place like your Grandfather's worn (but still sturdy) recliner. read more

Ok so I could be goofy & make fun of Damian & yuk it up but I'll just "keep it real", as the kids say. A mere 100 ft away from my door a classic 50's style Diner awaits between 6:30am & 2:30pm weekdays, and till high noon on Sat. Family run from the git-go and always friendly. The skilled and nimble, former drummer, mans the grill & slings hash to your liking. The food is the typical Diner fare with a few custom choices but ALL are prepared as if you were in your own kitchen... cept the whole YOU cooking thing. Prices are about average with a few "economically sensitive" items. My favorites include the Mild Italian Sausage Sandwich, Old Bay & Vinegar Fries & Chicken Salad Club (w/ extra cluck). I've been coming here for 6 or so years now & it is true what they say, "when you're here, you're family". If you ever find yourself in Tro... err, I mean 40 ACRES, this Wilmington staple is a must visit. Tell Muzz I said hi :-) read more

If you're looking for a true, small town, communal, vibe in a cozy, diner atmosphere, this is it. You walk in and feel like you time traveled. The owner and short-order cook, Muzzi, is just about the friendliest guy in Forty Acres even as he's busting his butt to get your food on the counter. My husband and I love to come here for a Saturday morning breakfast. Its quaint-come-as-you-are vibe always makes us feel welcome, and we get to see our neighbors, most of which we know more by face than name, from around the way. My husband always gets a breakfast special with scrambled eggs, home fries with no onion, bacon, and toast. It's enough to fill him up but not so much that you end up throwing half away. I hop around and enjoy scrambled eggs, french toast, and pancakes. My favorite part is that anything you ask for special, Muzzi will do, no problem. Extra crispy bacon, eggs on the dryer side etc. Bring your cash for a quicker experience, but just plan to sit and enjoy. The cook is the only one in a rush, so don't go when you're pressed for time, or just call ahead and get takeout. If you're thinking of moving to the neighborhood and want to feel the pulse, stop by Angelo's. You'll enjoy your meal too. read more

Mom and pop corner luncheonette with Elvis theme and a Cheers atmosphere. Food is good. Omelettes and pancakes are specialty. Everyone very friendly and a regular cast of charechters coming trough the door make this an experience, Dont go if you are in a hurry, but go to sit and enjoy the show. read more

Angelo's is almost like a home away from home. One of my favorite breakfast and lunch joints. Wonderful food, and the best people in town. Everyone in Angelo's feels like family, and there's no place I'd rather go when in Wilmington! read more

Absolutely phenomenal. Every time I go I am pleased by what I order. Love it, the environment and the food! Go when you have the chance

Even thinking about Angelo's puts a smile on my face. The place is decorated in Elvis memorabilia and the staff are a bunch of comedians who truly enjoy what they are doing. Walking into here is like going back in time to the heyday of diners. The food is your typical fare for a greasy spoon; delicious but may harden your arteries... just the way I like my Saturday breakfast. I always look forward to days when I'm able to stop in here. read more

Nice, homey place. Clean and stuffed with old timey stuff. Good breakfast. I'll be back.

They don't make places like this anymore. It's like "Cheers" with bacon and eggs. Every community would be lucky to have a place like Angelo's. Muzzi is the genuine article and not knowing him is your loss. read more

Lunchenette time machine. Great food ! Get the sausage, made to order off the hook good. Regulars go behind the counter to pour their own coffee. My favorite kind of breakfast place. read more

Angelo's is the coolest place I've ever been. I think I had an omelette, but its the atmosphere that stands out. Friendly, fast, fun.

I have always wanted to go there, and I went there and I was amazed. I loved it so much I decided to go back, I was not amazed that time. The second time I went I had a different waitress, but she barley checked on us and she was not interactive at all. But the decor makes you feel you are back in time. I love how you can see them cook right in front of you. Also they make you feel right at home. Something that makes it better are the prices, the are very affordable and they fill you right up and taste great. If you are looking for a family friendly diner Angelo's Luncheonette is the place to go. read more
