If you’re down at the Punkin’ Chunkin’ Festival this weekend and you’re looking for a nearby place to eat, check out Jimmy’s Grille in Bridgeville. I spotlighted this area favorite last year, so here’s the review:
Jimmy’s Grille & Family Restaurant in Bridgeville (18541 S. Main St.) is a great place to go for a down home family meal. They are well known for their fried chicken which has been called, “to die for,” “best at the beach,” and “greatest chicken ever!” but their Cream of Crab soup is also the best of the best.

Pizza at the beach is a great tradition! Here’s some of the best options:
Grotto Pizza. With several locations along the boardwalk, more on Rehoboth Ave, and several locations inland as well, Grotto Pizza is a summertime favorite! Though, not everyone loves Grotto, I have to admit it is my first choice for pizza in Rehoboth, and I’m obviously not alone because Grotto pizza has been voted Best Pizza in in Delaware in the past. Yum!
Nicola Pizza. Home of the famous Nic-o-boli, Nicola is the pizza of choice for many! Locally owned and operated for over 40 years, there are 2 locations in Rehoboth to serve you. Nicola uses a delicious 3-cheese blend and homemade sauce and dough, and will even ship many of their products, including jars of sauce and Nic-o-bolis. Delicious!!
