The dining scene in Delaware is one of the best you’ll find in the tri-state area. Our little state is filled with mom and pop restaurants, trendy gastropubs, and charming small town restaurants that each serve up mouthwatering meals.

Smyrna is quickly becoming one of the best places to grab a bite to eat and enjoy a local craft beer.

Milton is home to some incredible restaurants. The Backyard is known for their bakery, where you can get giant homemade cookies and for their outdoor dining, where you can play yard games while you wait for your food. Plus, with Cantina Ultima serving up delicious tacos five nights a week and Po' Boy's Creole, you can mix up your diet and try all sorts of flavorful cuisine.
