14 Global is one of the few Tapas places in Delaware, and they really get it right. After just making our list for seving some of the best fries in the state, I've got to pay homage to their seafood tacos, but the real winner is the wild game sliders, pictured above with Colorado lamb and housemade blue chips.

The name of this place always cracks me up! I'm a sucker for cleverness. I'm also a sucker for great good, which Lewinsky's has down. They offer one of the best brunches in Delaware, and amazing lunch and dinner choices as well. It might be a little bit of a stretch to call Delaware City a Delaware Coast town, but I'm gonna go with it.

JP's on the Wharf is one place to get off-the-boast seafood on the Delaware coast. Near the adorable town of Bowers but technically located in Frederica, don't give up if you can't find them at first. Just head to the water, you'll see their docks and outdoor deck, and you'll probably see someone unloading a boat right into the restaurant's kitchen.
