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. Â 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.  Their down-home desserts are also sure to please, and you can even order whole pies to go for special events or really any reason you’d like!  The service is friendly and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming.  If you’re looking for good food in a casual atmosphere, definitely try Jimmy’s.

World Championship Punkin Chunkin!
This local favorite has turned into a famous event that even has its own television show! Punkin Chunkin brings people from all over to Bridgeville, Delaware! This year’s festival is all weekend with gates opening to the public at 7:30am each morning (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Tickets are $10 per day and parking is free except for oversized vehicles and/or trailers. Children under 10 are admitted free. The festival atmosphere includes vendors of many kinds and is fun for the whole family.  A cooking contest/chili cook-off and Mr. & Mrs. Punkin Chunkin Pageant are also part of the festivities. For more information and a detailed schedule of events check out this link. Keep in mind that adjustments may be made because of the storm, but as far as I can tell the event is still on. Of course, if you miss out, you can always watch the televised version on Thanksgiving Night at 8pm on the Discovery Channel.
