You want good pizza?...

Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza – Route 202 - Wilmington PA
Love this place! Good atmosphere and great crispy pizza.

Overall Impressions:

Dining Atmosphere:  - a nicer pizza place with Sports TV's and dark wood tables and small bar area.

Food Quality / Taste -Really good, I especially love the original pizza with fresh basil.

Would I go back: - Definitely - I'm embarrassed to say how many times I've been there.

Best thing about it: - the pizza!, the salad is worth a mention and the staff are always nice.

What I would want to change: - They don't have full bar only beer and wine, and some tables are better than others if you want to watch a game.

Want to know more? Just get in the car drive over and give them a try. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this place.

Up and down experience

LeShio- Route 202 Wilmington DE
Love the interior it's something unexpected in a strip mall, but the dining experience has been up & down.

Overall Impressions:

Dining Atmosphere:  - modern and updated.

Food Quality / Taste -I liked the basil chicken dish, but my husband had the Sushi and thought it was a bit odd tasting.

Would I go back? - Maybe in a few months once the kinks get worked out.

Best thing about it: - the atmosphere

What I would want to change: - service was a little disorganized. My drink was 99% liquor and so strong it had no taste. THe waitress was confused on what ingredients where in the basil chicken.

Want to know more? I've been there twice the first one was great, the second item was a bit of disjointed experience.

Good brisket north of the Mason-Dixon Line!

Bull Durham Texas BBQ – Route 202 - West Chester PA
Isn’t Bull Durham related to North Carolina? Regardless the brisket was good – not quite Luther’s (Houston TX) if you’ve been there, but better than any other brisket I’ve had up north.  I like my brisket lean and with good flavor and this hit the spot. 

Overall Impressions:

Dining Atmosphere:  - Depends on the night.  Some nights have a DJ with country dancing.

Food Quality / Taste - Some good, some fair.

Would I go back: - Definitely

Best thing about it: - Brisket!

What I would want to change: - Sides – baked apple was bitter, maybe a regular salad or Caesar salad as  side choice.  Bread with more flavor.  Would love to see different types of side BBQ sauces. 

Want to know more? We stopped around 8ish mid week and where surprised at the crowded parking lot.  We had no idea they would have country line dancing, which was entertaining to watch.  Evidently they have dancing several nights a week so if you want to give it a go or get some free lessons (line dancing, two step) check out their website. Dancing or not I’ll be back to get some more brisket.

Jersey shore to folks next door

Kooma - - Waterfront - Wilmington DE
Finally tried Kooma on the Wilmington water front Friday night for a friend's happy hour and then dinner.

Overall Impressions:

Dining Atmosphere:  - ok but a bit loud. Wide variety of folks - Jersey Shore to folks next door..

Food Quality / Taste - pretty good.

Would I go back: - Maybe

Best thing about it: - Contemporary - something different

What I would want to change: - parking (limited to small lot and street) and crowd after 9.

Good place for Happy Hour? -yes if your group is about 5-15 people.

More comments, thoughts and ramblings: The bar area in the back room was nice and spacious and generally a good place for a small group for happy hour. For dinner - we tried the edamame, chicken teriyaki, and sushi. Generally good flavor but the teriyaki was an odd presentation - two large slices of chicken that where maybe 3 x 5, which seemed to beg the question - why the chop sticks? I had visions of trying to pick it up and having it go flying across the table. Then of course there was the use of my old friend zucchini . Honestly I don't get everyones fascination with zucchini I always think it is a cheap filler.
