This Timeless 1850s Restaurant In Delaware Sells The Best Nachos In America

Deer Park Tavern in Newark, Delaware, is renowned for its historic charm and the best nachos in the state.

Delaware is full of fine eateries, including many that are almost as historic as the state itself. The Hotel DuPont was once the most luxurious destination on the East Coast, and Jessop's Tavern is located in a building older than the United States itself. One historic hotel and tavern has been a Newark landmark for nearly as long, and for generations, Delawareans have been arriving here for the tastiest bar food around.

The historic Deer Park Tavern was built in 1851, as a replacement for the circa 1747 St. Patrick's Hotel, which burned down.

Today, the Deer Park is one of the best places in Delaware to grab a drink and it's truly a Main Street landmark.

When you dine here, you'll be enjoying the same hospitality that brought Charles Mason, Jeremiah Dixon, and even Edgar Allen Poe to Newark.

One dish that is constantly getting rave reviews is their gigantic nacho plate.

The "Los Grande Nachos" are topped with housemade chili, sour cream, spicy jalapenos, shredded lettuce, and of course, tomato.

Load your nachos up with guacamole. If you're crazy about the stuff, you'll love the Deer Park's version.

There's no doubt about it - Deer Park Tavern serves the best nachos in Delaware.
