    Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure
    James P.

    Different cheesesteak #1117 in the last five years. Is there such a thing as a Popi/Corner restaurant? $8.80 for a large mushroom cheesesteak. I like $8.80 but that may be high compared to other Popi/Corner stores. I stayed true to my word and did not order mayo on my cheesesteak. I asked for it, 'the way they usually make it.' They put mayo on it and I liked it.

    Chicken over rice

    These guys grind hard. They were in the middle of prepping a 25 person luncheon when I walked in. They still got us in and out the door within 20 mins. Portions here are healthy sized. Prices are low low low. As long as you're willing to go into seedy underbelly of Wilmington your belly will be well rewarded. I washed down my gyro and koftas with a $1 tall boy of Arizona ice tea. You simply can't eat like this in the suburbs. Everything here is made to order so it is hot and fresh. I enjoyed everything I ordered (gyro, chicken over rice, and lamb koftas). The white sauce is delicious, I always ask them to give me extra. I think I need to move to hood.

    Clean, please, knowledgeable, staff, kind. Food is good. Generally good parking. I like their fried chicken, their corn fritters, and their shrimp. Great pizza.

    Unfortunately you get what you pay for especially when it's delivered. I ordered a six piece fried shrimp and fries and a five piece fried chicken with coleslaw. The chicken was over cooked and dry. The fries were cold and stale. The fried shrimp was hot, so it was obviously cooked last. It was decent. I also ordered a peach cobbler. They preorder already made cobbler that they heat up and send to you. Not very impressed with this place.

    Chicken and lamb platter

    Pros: Open late night Large portions for the price Friendly service Cons: Location isnt the best Food: It was decent. White sauce was too tangy, almost like a ranch sauce. Hot sauce was your standard hot sauce by Reds hot. Food wasnt fresh by any means as the guy behind the counter lifted up the lids for the pre-made chicken and pre-made lamb. Meats weren't dried out, but again it wasnt freshly prepared. Overall: I'll have to try their cart as reviews seem like that is the better option. Stay tuned. Overall decent, but the place on Walnut definitely takes the crown for best rice platters in wilmington in my opinion. Check out my reviews for deets.

    WILMINGTON'S HIDDEN GEM! I loveeee this place! I live in Trolley and the local Greek place (Opa Opa) is overpriced and just honestly not that good. Semos has some of the BEST gyros I've ever had and they are literally $4.99. Such a great deal because the meat is seasoned *perfectly* and the gyros are huge and fully loaded with veggies and yummy sauces. My husband and I always get one lamb gyro, one chicken gyro and then split fries. This comes out to about $10 and is always so delicious, totally worth the drive. We go here every few weeks for takeout.

    Semo's is a great spot for fast food. They have lots of variety including fried chicken, pizza, gyros, halal food, water ice. The halal chicken over rice plate is really good, but note that it's a bit different from NYC halal carts if that's what you're used to. The seasoning has a tad less spice and they use parboiled rice instead of basmati. The fried chicken and gyros I've had were also good. The guys that work there are friendly. I especially appreciate their hours because not many places in the area stay open as late as them.

    The lamb and rice is legit. Very nondescript storefront, but the food is well worth it.

    Some of the best food we've had! A hidden gem that seems a bit overlooked? Our family had pizza…read more(the crust was perfect), penna Al la vodka (perfect), lasagna (the best), Gorgonzola gnocchi (balsamic drizzle- genius, and chicken limoncello (delicious). Every single thing tasted so good! Happily took home left overs. The service was great and friendly. It was a bit warm in the restaurant so it would have been nicer if the air was down a notch but it didn't ruin a good meal. We loved it!

    After reading the reviews, we decided to give this place a try…read more Upon entering, the restaurant is small and casual, with plush black booths lining the leftmost wall and tables seating up to 2-4 people sitting by the window. The walls are red with a black wainscoting paneling and framed pictures, sconces, and a small wine rack can be found on the red part of the wall. The ordering counter is also nearby and has a display case with pizza pies in it. We were immediately seated after arriving and ordered the following: Medium holiday veggie pizza, which has mushrooms, spinach, broccoli, ricotta, green peppers, and diced tomatoes. We didn't realize that the pizza didn't have red sauce but we still liked it. Hubs said that he needs to read the menu closer next time when ordering pizza. This wasn't the first time we accidentally got a no sauce pizza. LOL. Daughter and I shared Vongole, which is linguini tossed with 12-15 little neck clams with your choice of white or red sauce. She chose red sauce. We also got a choice of soup and she chose pasta fagioli. She liked the clams and said that the entree was nice and saucy. I prefer white clam sauce, though. So, I will try that next time. Fried calamari- calamari golden fried squid with side of homemade sauce. I liked that the calamari wasn't breaded. This is my favorite type of calamari. We should've ordered linguini on the side and this was Hubs' favorite dish of the night. The place filled up quickly after we arrived. Hubs had been wanting to try Italian food in Delaware. This place is located in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking. We were expecting it to be a fancy restaurant when we saw the exterior and were pleasantly surprised that it was a pizzeria. The place felt very homey and we loved it. Service was quick and friendly. Will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu!

    We were having family over for dinner and wanted something different. Okay, I did see the mixed…read morereviews and decided to give it a try. Placed our order at 11:00 AM for a 5:00 PM pick up. I ordered three pizzas: Upside down, White & Pepperoni. Ordered three sandwiches: One chicken steak, two beef steak. Wings: two orders. For starters we loved the wings - crispy and meaty and not at all greasy. The pizzas were also a hit. The thin crispy crust was great and cooked just right. All of them were delicious but our favorite was the pepperoni. The cheesesteaks - wow!! Seriously the BEST cheesesteaks in town. You can taste the cheese in every single bite. The sandwiches were loaded with chicken or beef and the seeded roll was fresh. The only thing that could have been better? The pizza temperature. Oddly, when we arrived home (about 10 minutes later), the pizzas weren't hot? The wings and the cheesesteaks were both perfect. Ordering and pick up was a breeze. The staff were friendly and the food was very good. Our only regret is that we haven't tried this place sooner! We will definitely be back. Hopefully the pizza will be hot.

    This place has been on my list for a while, was especially excited to try their Detroit, what…read morethey've been known for for quite a few years. Place was pretty cool inside, old school vibes with the flooring, wall posters, and even video games. Had to wait about twenty minutes for a table for three, not a big deal, as it was a Friday night and somewhat expected. Prices were a little high, but not crazy. Service was good, food came out fairly quickly. Ordered a couple of pizzas, steak sandwich and fries. Round pizza was decent. Detroit was underwhelming, and was really hard to eat. It was very difficult to get off of the screen, very sloppy, not a lot of crisp-was really hoping for a better pie. Steak sandwich was fine-roll was decent, meat was seasoned, but didn't really set itself apart. I will say the bar area had a really good vibe, and I could maybe see myself returning for a couple of drinks and maybe some apps. Wish I could give a three and a half, but unfortunately it didn't really earn a four for me.

    Food - so very good! Everything was hot and fresh and house-made. The gnocchi were little dumplings…read moreof pasta numminess. Yes, nummy. The chicken picatta was so, so good- just the right amount of lemony goodness. The Marsala was my husband's favorite- he's said it's some of the best he's had. My daughter said her veal was delicious. Get the cannoli- even if you don't normally like cannolis. My daughter loved her gooey snickerdoodle butter cake topped with ice cream. The decor and staff are everything you want in a family-owned Italian restaurant. There was Sinatra music playing and My Cousin Vinny on the TV - it was great. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It is a small restaurant with limited seating. If you are pressed, make a reservation. Don't go here, if you want quick, impersonal service. Street parking, just a heads up.

    I know this may be an unpopular opinion but honestly I thought this was just average Italian food…read more I'd go again because there wasn't anything wrong with it but I wasn't wow'd. I tried the meatball appetizer - it was decent but not really anything special. For dinner I had the chicken parm in a blush sauce which came with a side of gnocchi and my dining partner had grandmas Sunday gravy, again both decent. We skipped dessert because it was a decent amount of food. The other thing I'll mention is you're going to want to make reservations if you go. The entire restaurant seats what seems like 30 people.
