I'll round up but probably a 3.5 stars. We had a reservation and did still have to wait 15-20 mins but no big deal, had a drink at one of the standing tables. I went with the lolo marg which was tasty but a little sweeter than I thought. For food we ordered the octopus to start and for entrees: birria tacos, lamb shank, and steak frites. The entrees were all very tasty but not hot, came warm as if they had been sitting a minute. Our octopus never came. We told them once and never came. The waitress checked back but still never came. So we just said cancel it. Overall, good experience but a little room for improvement. read more

The Crow Bar - Steak frites - Chicken Wings Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Everything was delicious!! I was super worried when I walked in and there was absolutely no one, granted it was 6 pm, but it was a Saturday! Regardless I was very pleasantly surprised. I got their signature cocktail that was their take on the bees knees and it was soooo good. Food was fabulous, we got the peach pizza (i love a sweet and salty flavor profile and especially peach and prosciutto) and the spicy soppressata pizza. I also got the tuna tartar and short rib empanadas. Tuna was so fresh and light, and I loved the chips that came with it. I really loved everything and I'll be back!! read more

Vibe at crow bar is always a 10/10. Espresso martinis are consistently great. The bartenders are lovely- happened to be there while they were trialing drinks for the specials for Valentine's Day! Excited to go back and try them. Happy hour empanadas are a great deal! read more

The Crow Bar - Empanadas - Chicken Wings Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

If you can get by the slower service that it inevitable than you'll love it here. I've never been seated on time for a reservation but i don't care. Their menu is always top tier to me and i've never had a bad drink. The vibes inside; front to the back of the restaurant is cozy, cool, and loud all at the same time. This is one of my favorite friday night spots still!! read more

I had a wonderful time at the festive crow bar. The whole place is decorated for Christmas with lights, decorations and a fun atmosphere. The background noise and music was just right to have conversation and not hear other tables. The service was great. We ordered three apps and split them all. The tuna with avocado was my favorite. We also got a pear and prosciutto pizza which is more like a flat bread. It was very good and had enough pizza for us each to have 2 slices (6 total). The bao buns were also delicious! The drinks were on point! One had rosemary and was refreshing. The cosmo was standard but also had a fun dried blood orange slice. I will definitely be back! read more

Based on previous reviews, I think this has changed a bit. I was surprised to see the 3.5 star overall rating because we really enjoyed both our visits here. There is also no longer a happy hour so plan accordingly. Crowbar has two cute seating areas inside, the bar and the back. The bar has seated and standing options, and the back area is a more moody vibe. We got margaritas and the Float Like a Butterfly to start with and shishito peppers as an app. I told them how much I loved the miso molasses glaze, and they brought me more to dip, which was super kind. The tuna tartare was a bit spicy and we enjoyed it so much that we ordered a second one. We got both the margarita pizza and the peach and prosciutto pizza that was topped with pistachios and honey. The peach pizza wasn't the prettiest, but it was so delicious!! The birra tacos comes with two corn tacos which is kind of small for an entree and I didn't love the filling. I also didn't love their beef empanadas, so I think it might be the beef filling across the board for me. However, the cauliflower tempura was perfect so that made up for it. The two sauces they put together added a nice amount of flavor and heat. Will definitely be going back to try even more! read more

I went to Crow bar for a happy hour with a friend. Crow bar offers indoor and outdoor seating. There is a smaller section in the back of the restaurant with a few tables as well for a more intimate experience. We ordered a few appetizers to share. Ranking the items from least to most favorite. My least favorite appetizer was the tuna tartare 2/5.I would have loved a little more acid with the avacado. I also would have liked the taro chips with a little bit of salt. Crab pad thai: 3/5 definitely lacked some acid. Roasted beet salad. 4/5The roasted beet salad was just okay. Nothing special about it but still good. Pear& Prosciutto pizza 5/5. This pizza was amazing the homey drizzle was a chefs kiss. Still thinking about this pizza! I would go back and try this place again. read more

We didn't come for dinner. Or food. We only came for cocktails. I'm a definite cocktail snob...but we heard good things. We heard correctly. One look at the cocktail menu and we knew we we in for a really good time. Adventurous and creative cocktails abound tin the menu...and a quick test of the bartenders knowledge let me know this was going to be great. We sampled 5 cocktails, LIGHT MY FIRE and SMOKE AND MIRRORS were definite favorites. In addition to adventurous cocktails they have super well made classics, coffee drinks as well as specialty reserve cocktails with higher end liquors. Their ice game is one point with crystal clear cubes for those Old fashioned lovers. They have a really nice beer menu as well. Now...it's a shame we didn't come for dinner because the menu is really intriguing. Nice seafood small plates and some great sharing plates. Fancy pizza and Bao Buns!! Might have to come back to eat...but definitely for the cocktails. Really enjoyed our time here! read more

One of my favorite spots! Their food and drinks are always on point and good service too. However this last visit kind of disappointed because they served one of my drinks inside of a broken glass (that was cracked but still holding water so couldn't tell it was broken) I took a sip and set it down and just then felt a sharp pinch on my finger I look and there is a small piece of glass that cut my finger and caused it to bleed. Luckily that happened or else I would have continued drinking it from the broken glass and possibly even swallow some since it was still in tact however almost shattered at the bottom. We let the waitress know, she brought a new one but weird they offer to take anything off of the bill that ended up being $150 or even offer a bandaid read more

Their dry rub wings are a 9/10 - like maybe the best I've ever had??!!?!??!? Drinks (cocktails and drafts) were fantastic and all food was great. Food can be a bit slow to come out, but that wasn't a deal breaker on the experience. read more

Crowbar is one of the more upscale restaurants in the trolley Square area, so I enjoy going here! Their happy hour is decent but caters more to drinks than food. I tried the aperol spritzer which was fruity, and very refreshing! The mushroom bao buns were so fluffy and light stuffed with pickled onions, and the most tasty yet spicy mushroom filling. The kale salad was smothered in cheese and a lite bit. I ordered the garlic, ricotta pizza and asked for it without sausage. It wasn't my favorite item. I thought it lacked ricotta and had way too many tomatoes on it! Overall this place is adorable, they have high quality food, and the servers are very nice! read more

Visiting a college bud for the weekend and I am so glad the locals brought me here!! So good!!! The Caesar salad was amazing! Those garlic bread pieces ... wow! And dressing was perfect plus I LOVE anchovies.. so much flavor. I also had the Oyster sliders.. yum. Highly recommended burger and the fries!!! So good.. plus the tempura cauliflower. We enjoyed a nice bottle of white wine and our request for fixings to make white wine spritzers was easily and happily accommodated. Thank You to our hostess Georgia and to our server, Sam. You guys made us feel at home. Great table outside in the front was a bonus. Thank you for the great vibes and service. Cheers! read more

Loved the Octopus and yellow tomatoes. Red not so much. Food great. Service good too! Must try. read more

Atmosphere was nice. Appetizers were great (we got the chicken drumettes and the pimento cheese). I had the steak frites as my main meal though and it had a bitter, almost lighter fluid, kind of taste to it. read more

Super cute place! The only thing we ordered that we didn't ~love~ were the pork belly bao, which were good but felt like they needed an onion or a little extra punchy bite. The hangar steak for 2 was beautiful & super tasty, the shoestring fries were salty and plentiful. Our cocktails were very yummy & our server was great. Happy we stopped read more

Great service and food. A nice atmosphere. A fun place for couples or small groups. We always enjoy our experience there.

I had dinner at the crow bar a week ago. I left a jacket there and don't live in the area and called to confirm they have the jacket so I can send someone to pick it up. I have called and left messages every day for a week. No one answers the phone and no one has returned my call. I can't understand how a restaurant won't answer the phone or return messages. My review would've been much better before they totally blew me off. read more

Love this little place. We were seated in the back room which was quaint and adorable, with a very nice ambiance. Our server was super nice and attentive. I got a pinot noir and it was delish, and the pizza and charcuterie board was phenomenal! They have some pretty yummy cocktails too! read more

Although I have dined here several times I recently started trying the burger and let me tell you that their burger is amazing! It's 2 perfectly seasoned patties 5oz each with a perfectly melted cheese on each Pattie. The burger comes with a tangy sauce that that hits the different flavor profiles upon the first bite. Every bite they follows is juicy and perfectly seasoned. This order comes with a side of seasoned fries that have an amazing seasoning that gives you that perfect salty, garlicky, oniony taste. Strongly recommend their burger, without a doubt I would nominate them for best burger in trolley. Don't forget to ask for their house made blue cheese to go with the fries and pair this entree with a Guinness or a Dewey pizzetta beer! I will definitely be going back for more and will share some pics next time read more

Food was average and overtly expensive. Atmosphere was more bar style with tapas. Service was good read more

Solid 3.5, but I had a fun night with my wife so I rounded up. Great atmosphere. Well decorated, good space. Social standing tables and plenty of bar seats. I really appreciated the ambiance which would make for a nice date or a causal night out. Finding that balance is challenging but they found that balance At The Crow Bar. The menu was approachable for those with an advanced or entry level palate. The prosciutto and pear pizza was tempting, but I went with the Paella. The rice was really well done, even getting the socarrat in the dish (the crunchy rice on the bottom of the pan). Scallops cooked beautifully. They melted in your mouth exactly as they should. Shrimp perfect as well. two big bummers with this dish. 1) The mussel shells were so brittle when I tried to open them to get the meat they shattered. I just got shell bits all over my food. 2) someone went WAY to heavy on the finishing salt. Holy smokes. There were like 6 bites (where they finished way to heavy) that were SALTY. Someone definitely messed up. It was embarrassingly So salty. Fortunately it was on one Portion of the dish so I could mostly avoid it. My wife had the burger with the onion jam. I of course tried a bite and it was delicious. The brioche held up well to the juicy burger that was cooked how she asked (medium). Solid bite of food that had sweetness and some bitterness. Some mild heat would have really taken it over the top. Nothing crazy, but to really balance everything out. Overall the food was good (sans the big big big salting mistake). Service was very average. Maybe just below average. No one was smiling. I didn't see one smile from anyone there all night. A packed restaurant should make everyone happy, because that means $$$. We waited a VERY long time for our check. I was also a little bummed that we weren't told there was a happy hour in the bar area until after we were seated. Maybe growing up in Vegas engrained high service standards in my blood, but elite restaurant hosts will always ask, "Would you like to enjoy our happy hour in the bar area or be seated for your meal?" I'd love to give this place another shot and try some of their other adventurous dishes. Ocotopus anyone? read more

I really enjoy this place. It's a great atmosphere for Trolley. The food has really improved over the years. Very tasty and easy to share. Who doesn't want to eat more delicious food? I wish they could be open on Sundays - it's so difficult to find a good local restaurant that day. read more

Crow Bar was a much needed addition to Trolley Square. Upscale, dimmed lighting, beautiful atmosphere, and arguably the best cocktail lineup in the area -- it's our favorite place to get dressed up and walk to dinner for date night (we live a few blocks away). I love that they have a different menu compared to most places in Wilmington. Sometimes they miss the mark on flavor, and sometimes maybe the dish just isn't what I expected it to be -- but they overall do a really great job at switching things up and bringing new + refreshing dishes to their menu. This is definitely the restaurant that we aim to try things we have never had before. We come with an open mind for flavor profiles, and I think thats why we continue to see this as a favorite spot of ours. Last night, I tried the pork Milanese, a dish I've never tried before. I wasn't a fan of the pork, but that was at no fault of the chef. It was something I had never had + I just found out that the baked/fried breaded pork wasn't for me. The cucumber yogurt(¿) sauce base that the pork was placed on top of was SO GOOD and imo they could have added more of the pickled cucumbers. My server noticed I hadn't ate much of my dish and when I denied taking it home, he asked if I didn't like it. I told him I didn't love it but that I was glad I tried it. He took it off our check without me asking and I just thought that was so, so nice. Would love to see this space continue to do well + maybe be open for a Saturday brunch in the future! read more

So under-rated! This is a hidden gem in Wilmington, that we came into and literally everything was cheaper and as good or better than similar bar/restaurants we have back in Philly. Mixed drinks were top notch, wings, mushroom ssam platter, and margherita pizza were all amazing. Alexis and the other bartender were great to chat up and took great care of us!! read more

COVID has nothing to do with how poor the service was or how poorly made the food was. Allergenic food was added to a dish that was not listed on the menu, burger was WELL done after asking for medium, and steak was prepared properly but was cold. What's with the the fry pieces??? Asked for a fried egg on the burger, when I mentioned it had no "run" to it was told "that's what a fried egg means to us, you have to ask for sunny side up". Had a similar experience with take out a few months ago and thought we'd give another chance. Manager offered to comp the whole tab, we said we'd gladly pay for our own drinks. She replied "that's ok we don't mind doing that". We waited for 5 minutes and no tab was brought to us so we left...only to have the server (who was absent most of our visit) yell at the top of her lungs across the street that we still had an open tab! Won't be back. Ever. read more

Brand new place (I think it's been open for a week)great location in the middle of Trolley Square we came here on a Friday night for drinks and a bite. It was pretty crowded and there was a wait for a table but they had these nice high top communal tables that you can congregate at as well as a bar area. Great decor and ambience. Specialty cocktails looked interesting I ordered the Superfly which was tasty- Not that many beer options. For food we tried two types of pizza-- the mushroom and the peach and prosciutto --both were good (not amazing) but we were happy with them. All the food coming out looked appetizing we would definitely like to come back and try a few of their other small plates. Staff was friendly they even came and refilled our waters at the standing bar. Off to a good start! Worth it to check out! read more

This is my favorite burger in Wilmington! Amazing cocktail selection and great atmosphere.

Great cocktails and food. Staff is super nice. Nice vibe inside and good people watching sitting outside.

I meet a friend i have not seen i n a long time due to the pandemic after 2 hours and while we were still eating they asked us to leave because they had another reservation waiting. It must be nice to ask people to leave your restaurant, while so many are struggling. read more

We had a group of 15 come into the bar for drinks. Some of us lived in trolley, but my husband volunteered to be designated driver for others who live outside the city. We sat in a group at and around the bar. Although my husband paid for a round of drinks, he was not drinking alcohol. The bartender told him that he was not allowed to sit with us at the bar and would have to give up his seat and stand for the entire visit! She explained that it was their policy that designated drivers could not sit with their party at the bar! The bartenders were also rude and openly hostile to patrons. We have been there several times, but will never be back. read more

Food was cold, allergens were added to one of our meals and not listed on the menu, burger was extra well done after ordering medium, steak was cooked great, but less than warm. Waitress was absent. Manager said she would take care of our whole tab even after we insisted we would take care of our drinks. We waited around for a few minutes and no check was brought to us so we left. As we were across the street the waitress YELLED AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS IN FRONT OF TONS OF PATRONS "YOU ALL STILL HAVE A DRINK TAB YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF!" I'm disgusted. Will never be back. read more

Let me start by saying the service is fantastic, my server was very attentive, gave great suggestions to drinks and foods but also never let me wait for anything.

Had 2 stars but dropped to 1, as my wife and I are extremely put off by Management of this restaurant. They charged our card twice and have not been returning our calls (left voicemails and direct messages with their employees), and it has now been 4 days and probably half a dozen attempts. Here were the two pros of this mediocre experience: -Temp. control on the burgers (and the quality of the beef) were spot on. Mid rare and a mid well each done with solid precision. I thought the onion jam was overpowering, but that's just my personal opinion and shouldn't necessarily deter. -The blue cheese for the wings was excellent. Hindsight - would have put that on the burger to make it a bacon black and blue. Cons: -Wine up charge: In my experience, there are 4 glasses in a bottle of wine. Charging $10 per glass and $50 for a bottle didn't seem to make sense. -Sub-par wings: Went with Korean BBQ wings. Sauce was not overly flavorful and very sparse. Wings fell off the bone but soft/mushy skin texture. Also, asked for wet naps afterwards and they didn't have any. What? -Beware of the bathroom sink! Since they did not carry wet naps, I went to wash my hands after the wings. In just seconds, the water got scolding hot and burnt the sh*t out my hand. -Wedge salad: wife ordered and was missing the pepitas. (details, I know, but they add up and homegirl wanted some pumpkin seeds!) -Service: With full respect of the grind, it was below average. Our server was kind, but inexperienced and neglectful. Took a very long time coming to our table at all, and walked away from us multiple times while we were still talking/placing orders. Still tipped 20% and grateful for those that work in the industry. -Double Charged: I thoroughly reviewed the receipt since our service experience was seedy. While everything was documented correctly, I looked at my bank account this morning and was charged twice. We were ready to give a second chance, namely focusing on their apps and cocktail list, but after management not returning our multiple calls to rectify their error, we find it hard to want to support this establishment. read more

Manager gave us a quick shout out when we came for a work shindig. Had amazing gender neutral bathrooms.

Great cocktails and great food, one of my favorite bars. Also $10 pizza on Wednesdays

My wife and I decided to give this new spot a try and are so glad that we did! Nice atmosphere, high quality drinks and the appetizers were fantastic. We showed up around 6:15 on a Saturday and the place was already 90% filled. We stood at a high top and that was fine with us. If you want a seat without waiting, you probably need to arrive before 6 on a Friday or Saturday. The entrees looks great but we were happy to share three appetizers with our drinks. read more

Love the atmosphere and food, can't wait to come back! Great addition to Trolley Square!
