Delawareans are foodies at heart – after all, our state is one place where you can find the best peach pie, salty french fries, delicious salt water taffy, and even the region’s best meatballs. One meal that we do particularly well is chicken and dumplings – but we have our own way of making them. Jimmy’s Grille in Bridgeville makes the most Delmarvalous slippery dumplings around, so be sure to head out and try them.

Please note, Jimmy’s Grille has permanently closed.

Jimmys Grille in Bridgeville, Delaware has been a local legend for decades.
