Other restaurants, like JP's on the Wharf and the Charcoal Pit are iconic thanks to their signature dishes - strawberry pie and burgers and shakes, respectively.

Do any Delaware restaurants serve the world's best food?

While it's hard to back up the claim that *any* place has the world's best, if we had to pick a spot in Delaware for that title, it would be Woody's in Dewey Beach. Their crabcake is so famous and so sought after that people regularly try to bribe wait staff for the top-secret recipe! It's such a closely guarded secret that nobody even knows where the buns are baked. All of the hype is worth it, though, and we're confident in claiming that Woody's makes the world's best crabcake.

Where are the best bakeries in Delaware?

If you ask around, you'll find that several spots in Delaware make delicious baked goods. Bing's Bakery in Newark is one of the most famous in the region, and for good reason! Other amazing bakeries in the First State include Sandy Pony Donuts, Bavarian Bakery, and My Sister's Fault. Plan a visit to each of them and try cakes, cupcakes, and cookies and decide for yourself which one is top!
