Just tried it for the first time, yesterday morning!!! All Roads leads to this HIDDEN TREASURE!!! The restaurant was small, but it was clean and the service was impeccable. The Staff were all pleasant and professional. There were several Food items to choose from. I had the fried bologna, egg, cheese, and onion sandwich + I purchased the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. I grabbed some chips and a drink and ...... ooooooooooouuuuuuuiiiiii!!!! #LehsGo #YouWONTBeDisappointed #DefinitelyComingBack #BringingaPosse read more

A simple block building making a simple egg, cheese and sausage on a roll! Delicious! Prices very reasonable, service is quick considering the high volume of customers! read more

Probably the best sausage and egg sandwich I've had in a while. Although not that these are actaul sausages rather than patties. The inside is small but there's a few tables for seating. Service was rather quick which is good as you may find people standing around for take away orders near the entrance. If you happen to be driving past in the morning, definitely give this a go! read more

I'm from Philadelphia and I was craving a sausage on a roll. I proceeded to get one from this business who is really strange business hours, but I decided to venture out anyway the food was the worst I've ever tasted the sausages tasted like they were old and dry with no flavor. I am used to sausages that come off of a cart that tastes 100 times better than this, I would not recommend going to this place of business ever if I could give it a zero as a review, I would. read more

Wow!! Just amazing Sausage!! I had the breakfast one with egg and cheese and then got one to go with peppers and onions!! Delicious!! read more

I understand why locals like this place but I wouldn't write home about it. Its good if you're looking for somewhere cheap to eat. Nothings really seasoned and most of the food is overcooked out of crock pots. Could take or leave it. read more

Ok so like wow that was super legit on sooooo many levels with each tasty bite your totally going to be left wanting more even though your full and already had what was totally scrumptious in soo many ways! So in the middle Delaware you find a totally random Sausage House that has pretty much one of the best breakfast sausages you've ever had as they are totally doing it right so much so that you can tell it's very well known to the locals as wile you chill in your car and enjoy you see them keep coming and coming to get done before they sell out for the day! So let's break it down as it's just a sausage sandwich but then again it's not as it's packed with flavor the sausage has a very good flavor to it that's enjoyable to the end with a snap of the skin with each tasty bite that seems to be better than the last one as this time you managed to get some of the egg with it that seems to hide under the two good sized delicious sausage links inside that wonderful roll that just makes the whole sausage sandwich just right tell the end! Like really this simple delicious breakfast was beyond good so much so that if your in the area you must stop so Yelp Family do yourself a favor and add them to your bookmarks because they are doing it right in soo many ways!

Old school food and ambience. Not low cal but delicious. We loved the breakfast sausage special with sausage gravy. read more

They have good sausages and home fries. The bread is kinda crappy but the sausage is always well made and special. They put two on the roll so that's a plus. Staff are very friendly! read more

I only get the porkchop sandwich so I know it is sold out before noon and I am never sorry I only get the porkchop sandwich so I know it is sold out before noon and I am never sorry Oh and strawberry milk. read more

Would you drive by a small business made out of cinder blocks sitting in the middle of nowhere?? Cinder blocks.... I thought not!! This tiny sausage, sandwich, and breakfast house is my kind of place... I'm always glad to see a place like this continue to thrive while the rest of the rest of the world craves a sleek, modern looking place that serves processed crap.. Helen's is about as affordable and simplistic as can be. The sausage sandwiches are huge.. I haven't tried any of their other meals, even though my mind was telling me to order what I know I wouldn't have been able to eat. A few small tables and a counter to order is all you'll find inside this place. In short, you'll be eating your meal in your car... But you'll be pleased with your accommodations. I only wish that there was a place like this near where I live. read more

Helen's Sausage House - Sandwiches Near Me - Smyrna, Delaware

This is it. Our new *regular* brunch stop on the way to the beach. It's been hiding here in plain sight all this time. Very easy to miss on the way by, it's just a little white shack on the side of the road with some cheesy hand-painted signs on it, maybe reminiscent of an old time gas station, which it very well may have been 50 years ago. A line of locals, likely on their way to work, wrapped out into the parking lot early on this October morning. I understand this is a daily occurrence here. Nothing glamorous inside, from the old wood paneling to the Elvis memorabilia - lived-in, but cared for. Practical. There was a small dining room in the back. Their system is rustic, but highly streamlined. Our line moved so fast and orders were handled so efficiently by two elderly ladies behind the counter, we barely had time to figure out the customary local term for the *regular* breakfast order- "a double with egg and cheese." Wanting to keep moving, we took our brown paper bag to the car. Kind of sloppy, so I don't necessarily recommend doing this. You'll find TWO *big* links on a fresh but fairly small sub roll filled with an egg over-easy and melted cheddar. They were reddish in color, with lightly charred ends - I suppose I would say they were in the style of Knackwurst, with their crisp casings (apparently you can buy them by the case as well). And for six dollars, I would have still considered it a generous portion with only one per sandwich. I can't speak for the other items on the menu, such as the burgers and pork chop platter, but from pictures, comments and intuition, I'd bet they're right up there with the remarkable sausage. Ask me next year. This is guaranteed to beat any reheated old breakfast sandwich you'll find on the road from home to OC. Plus you won't have to eat again 'til dinner! read more

Helen's is great. We don't get there as much as I would like, but I enjoy getting a sausage, egg on a roll for breakfast. My husband says the women who take care of the customers are very friendly and pleasant. Keep it up. We will continue to stop when we are in the area. It's a pleasure visiting your establishment. When we stopped this morning my husband said you rearranged the inside. He said it looked nice and inviting. read more

Helen's sausage house is legendary and has been around for many years. Sausage served on a bun. Beware cash only

My husband and I had an opportunity to try this place out. It is a little hole-in-the-wall but it is extremely busy and they generally sell out between 11 and 12 so get there early. The ladies that work the counter are very helpful and process orders very quickly. They only take cash so make sure you prepare, if not there is an ATM inside the restaurant. The sandwich was overall okay, nothing really special but what I really liked was the snap on the casing of the sausage and its seasoning. What I didn't care for so much was it was dirty inside and you're better off taking your food to go. read more

Made a special trip this morning for a sausage sandwich. Parked the car and walked inside just to be told all customers had to wait OUTSIDE in line. FOURTEEN DEGREES and you expect your paying customers to freeze their butts off outside? I'll spend my money elsewhere read more

No Brainer. Incredible food. Always incredible. Love everything on the menu, but for some reason I always go back to tge sausage sandwich and the thick cut bacon read more

Dozens of people have told me to try out Helen's. Glad I finally did I got a sausage egg and cheese, came with 2 nice sized sausages on a soft roll. The fried sasuage was great, had a nice crunch on the outer layer that a regularly cooked grill sasuage can't replicate. I heard it's from Kirby Holloway, which makes sense why it's some good sasuage. I will say from a sandwich perspective I originally wanted to take out the 2nd sasuage because it was to big for the sandwich and roll. With the one link it was a perfect sandwich you could get all the flavors every bite. With the 2nd sasuage it completely overpowered everything else in the sandwich. Overall this was still a great sandwich, for only 5 dollars and you save a couple dollars from the tolls. You can get a great breakfast sandwich. Definitely recommend read more

Not sure why people think this is a staple breakfast place. The sausage is definitely not anything special...Maybe 20-30 years ago, but not now. The roll is not even substantial enough to withstand the grease. It was mushy. The line was too long for the quality of food. Someone said, "Oh, but it's worth the wait." Nah.. it's actually not. read more

The sausage breakfast sandwich was good. The fried bologna egg sandwich was ok 2 slices of your most basic white bread and not anything I would rave about. Good for them that they are doing well but if you have travelled on rt 13 there are literally no choices so this is intriguing to new comers and sought after by locals for the basic breakfast garb. The coffee was sub par in my opinion but you wouldn't expect a good roast here. The home fries were questionable? A gob of half cooked potatoes in a to go dish that i ended up not eating after the first bite. That said, the people and service are top notch and "intimate" as In personal. My review is not to discourage anyone from visiting as you should and stick to a simple sausage sandwich. I am rating 3 stars so as not to conflict with a 5 star food place read more

Egg and sausage platter was lukewarm/cold I asked for cheese on eggs It was not added, also instructed server to cook home fries extra hard twice food was still lukewarm cold even read more

Boy oh boy let me tell you what! Do. It ever judge a book by its cover. At first look this place looks like it is closed. Except for all the cars out front. My co-worker and I stopped here on our travels for breakfast and boy was I impressed. Sausage was out of this world. I got the sausage and egg sandwich. It came with two links egg cheese on a roll for $4! That is a steal. Next drive through SmyrnaI will definitely was stopping here. Only open from 4 AM to noon though! I will also be bringing a cooler so I can buy sausage and bring it chime with me read more

Helen's is the best all around, alway consistent with the best tasting sausages. They can have my money any day.

Lights out AMAZING!! 4.75 for a double on a roll with fried onions...not sure it can be beat. I actually found on Yelp when in Dover looking for a Diner at 4:30AM. Definitely NOT a diner, but DEFINITELY worth the 20 minute ride. It was so good, I crushed it in the car, wrote the above and went in for another! Only got a single with peppers and onions. Sausage is perfectly grilled with charred edges, and greasy in the most amazing way. Typically I like a little mustard on the type of sandwich, but none needed! read more

Great sandwiches! Record fast take out service. Everyone is social distancing and unbelievable turnaround. The sausage egg and cheddar cheese on a roll is amazing. Two links, eggs over easy, and cheddar cheese sauce. read more

Honestly it has been years since I have been to Helen's but to be honest I am not a fan. I do not like the sausage they use. I would say give it a try and decide for yourself. It is at least worth the visit to say you tried it. It may just be me. I have many friends who really enjoy it. read more

If your travels are taking you through the area you need to stop here for breakfast. My tip: The standard sausage and egg sandwich comes with two links of sausage. That's a lot of sausage. They have a single link option and that's what I'll get next time, a better sausage/egg ratio imo. The place is cool as heck, the staff is nice and helpful and very quick. If I lived near here I would never have breakfast at home. read more

This place looks like a dump, but I can state with utmost confidence that if you need a breakfast, this is the place that you go to out of any other place in Delaware. You may miss it on Rt. 13 while driving down, but if you look out for the cinderbrick building with trucks, cars, vans and so on coming out of it, then you found her. The line is long, but runs through amazingly quickly; you can be ten customers deep and you'd still be in front in about five minutes or so. Enjoy the vague 70s decor and the Elvis stuff too; it complements the feel of it being a dump with a heart of gold... and cholestorol. I seriously recommend getting their signature sausage; it's the best sausage you'll taste in the state, and I'll be bold and say it's also the best on the East Coast. But I would not suggest getting their hot variant, if only because that isn't something they personally make. Their platters are pretty good, and they make the second best home-fries I've eaten, the first being my family's recipe. Other good items from them are their eggs, which go great with the wizz and sausage if you get a double sausage sandwich w/cheese, and I can also suggest scrapple for those who like it. But if you aren't coming for the sausage, then you'll miss out on their best item. The best part? They sell their sausage in bulk too, meaning you can chow down on them at any time. read more

One of a kind place. You can tell the food is good by the long lines. Hunters frequent this place. Recommend the sausage sandwich or the bacon egg and cheese. read more

Oh yeah!!! It was worth the 1:20 minute drive. Yes it's a dump. Line out the door. But it moves quick . Got a sausage egg and cheese. Crazy good. The best of this type of sandwich I've ever had. The service was great. A small area to dine in. Elvis everywhere. Not only was the sandwich great but it was super cheap like $4.50. OMG great. Sorry I'm being so effusive but this is the kind of place that I become bewilderingly excited to find. Only open from 4:00am till 11:45am if you hit noon they are out and closed. If anyone know of super cool places like this please let me know.i live for this shit!! read more

SO, I heard about this place from someone. I was going down to Delaware for a vaca. Stopped by, they were SOLD OUT!! Next day came earlier, 10ish, Bot a sandwich and a 10 Pound Box. Looks like they do NOT make the Sausage, It is purchased by a BULK producer! The Sausage is Good, NOT great! Keep that in mind. read more

Came here as a kid 20 years ago and finally got the chance to come again. Arrived about 930am on a Saturday and it was pretty crowded...do not let that deter you as the line moves very quickly. Know what you want to order ahead of time before reaching the counter. Pro tip it is cash only-there is an ATM inside read more
