    Pancakes, eggs and sausage. Sausage was the best I've had!  And handsome grandson!
    Donna G.

    Had brunch here with my grandson it was very good. Very busy and all the staff were friendly and appreciative of us being there. We had the pancakes and Rueben sandwich. Yummy! We then ordered Thanksgiving dinner to pick up the day before turkey Day! We enjoyed it but no leftovers!!

    When I see a line outside a restaurant it usually means the food is worth the wait and in this case, I'd agree. Located on a busy corner just outside of Chad's Ford, Hanks place has plenty of parking both in the lot surrounding the building and across the street in the overflow lot. We spotted the line before we even parked, as it spilled down the ramp leading up the the restaurant entrance on the second story. Fellow line-waiters seems content to wait their turn so we went with it. Apparently there's no reservations and it's first come, first serve - there's no list, they just figure it out when you reach the door and it all seems to work out like clockworks. We waited about 30 minutes and were seated at the bar-top. It was obvious they were short staffed but the absolute hustle from every single person working was incredible, and we never felt ignored or rushed at all. I've never had Chipped beef so I had to try the Hanks Style Benedict (poached eggs on top of a sausage patty & a biscuit positivity smothered with chipped beef gravy with a generous helping of home fries. I learned chipped beef isn't my thing, but everything was cooked to perfection and I have zero complaints - fluffy biscuit, perfectly poached eggs and what I hope was sausage from a local vendor, great flavor. I personally loved that every single coffee cup looked both handmade and completely unique, it just added to the charm of the place. Interior felt a lot like a mountain cabin, exposed beams and very tall ceilings; very unique style for the area. Pro Tip: be patient if/when there's a line, breakfast is worth the wait.

    I'm almost never in the neighborhood but I have some friends who live in the area. It's not a surprise to me or anyone I know but for some reason I just had to get the bagel with lox and cream cheese with a side of guacamole. The bagel with lox and cream cheese I understand, but the side of guacamole was a little strange though it was still pretty good. I loved the food and the vibe of the restaurant was pretty cool. The restaurant had a family-friendly atmosphere and I could see that kids and adults alike loved the place. My family and friends also enjoyed their food. Although we weren't allowed to bring our dogs in the restaurant, we still had a great time. I loved the food and the people who took our order and I would come back here if I could and the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

    The new Hank's is nice, beautiful architecture inside and a nice covered outdoor seating area. The acoustics in the seating area are loud, which could bother some sensitive people. The food was good overall - probably a 4 out of a 5. There was a fly landing on our food the entire meal, which could have dampened the good eating experience. I would say the food is on the higher price side for breakfast. The service was great. I would come back and try a few more things.

    Checked out the new location and it's just as good as it was in Kennett. Can't beat the breakfast quality of Hanks! We loved the new interior and additional outdoor seating. I do think the waiting section/process could be changed a bit to accommodate for older clients - but giving grace since they are barely a week into this new spot!! While we are sad they didn't stay in Kennett, we don't mind the 15 minute drive down the road!

    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!

We immediately felt like we were an inconvenience. After we were seated, the waitress brought out our drinks. 1 1/2 hours later, she comes back with the promise our food would be out soon, then, one minute, then oh yeah they are plating the food. 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...

This homey tavern offers excellent service and the food overall is consistently very good. They have fresh buck-a-shuck oysters and clams at happy hour and all day Thursdays. The baked clams are simply magnificent! Their chicken wings are large and well spiced with a nice glaze. Their burger is a classic style tavern burger - perfectly cooked and juicy. The French fries are pretty darn good too! The wild striped bass entree is excellent as well. Fresh striper that is flaky, delicate - typically this is one of my go-tos. The variety of desserts are very good and big enough to be shared. Enjoy!

    Amazing hidden gem! Great food, decent prices, amazing service even on a super busy Saturday night…read more There was a live band so the restaurant was packed to the brim. Valet or self park. There were near 100 cars in the lot and still space to park somehow! The place was packed when we got there but we were seated in a minute! And in that time we were told by other staff that they'd be there shortly. Once seated, our server came by a few times in the 5 minutes we spent deciding on what to get haha and plenty while we were dining. I say this because it's not often you see such a packed restaurant feel like such an efficiently well oiled machine. We were there to see the band and some friends so we just got the pulled pork truffle fries, which, mind you, were some of the best fried we've had anywhere! What a pleasant surprise, as we were just grabbing a quick bite to share before having to head off. The ambiance was great, which I'd wager to be the case even without the music seeing the elegance of the decor and whatnot. The whole place was clean, not an issue in sight. Props to all the staff and management at the Chadds Ford Tavern!

    We came here for Christmas even dinner before Longwood Gardens…read more My family and were greeted warmly by the staff and felt right at home. There was so many good food items we couldn't wait to eat! For appetizer we got the calamari. While we were waiting for our appetizer we got some bread and oil. My husband made a comment about how he wished the bread coming out was warm like other restaurants. The calamari breading was light and well seasoned. Very crispy and came with a green cilantro sauces drizzled on top. I thought it was excellent! I got the veal parm which was HUGE. There was atleast 2 big pieces of veal that was breaded and seasoned well. It came on top of marinara sauce noodles. My husband got the Veal Saltimboca which was veal medallions topped with proscuitto and mozzarella with a Marsala demi glaze sauce. This was also fantastic even though my husband wasnt a fan of the truffle taste. From the service, ambiance and food. This place is great for a catch up and/or special occasion. Would love to come back and try other items on the menu :)

Upon leaving the car w Valet, we walked across the (empty) parking lot to the restaurant, only to have the valet follow us to park in a spot. Upon leaving, we had to walk across the parking lot (in the rain) to get to the valet stand... Only to watch the kid run back towards the restaurant to get the car and drive it to us. After that, the drinks are okay. I ordered a gin sour with egg whites... What I got was ... I'm not sure. Not sour and sweet with a slight pink tone. Food was okay. Okay for not being too expensive. Someone at the table ordered a whole fish and, while the tableside service to de-bone it should be nice, it reached our table looking completely maulled apart and de-skinned (despite us wanting the skin on it). Calamari was good ..the strange green drizzle initially threw me off but was fine in the end. The "white fish" francaise was the best thing on the table. Service was okay. Attentive without being pleasant.
