Spotlight on Blue Water Grill in Millsboro, Delaware

Looking for a place to eat in Millsboro, or just wanting to check out a new local joint? Blue Water Grill in Millsboro, Delware has a great atmosphere and terrific food…

In Sussex County, towns like Lewes and Rehoboth Beach get a lot of publicity, and for good reason, but the inland town of Millsboro is a great town as well!  Last time I was there, I had no idea where to eat so I took a chance and walked into the Blue Water Grill (226 Main Street).  And let me tell you, I’m so glad I took that chance.  It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

The atmosphere was laid-back and hip.  It was the kind of place that could be dressed up or down so that anyone would be comfortable.  You could throw on jeans and a t-shirt and bring the kids for a family meal, put on a suit and tie and bring your colleagues or customers for a business lunch, or dress up a little and come for date-night!

Atmosphere is great, but let’s talk food… that’s why you go to a restaurant in the first place, isn’t it?  Every bite of the food at Blue Water Grill was absolutely delicious.  I went for lunch with my husband and ordered the salmon sandwich.  I love salmon, and the sandwich did not disappoint, but it was the house horsey sauce that took it from yummy to Y-U-M-M-Y!  My husband had a burger and said it was one of the best burgers he’d ever had (and he LOVES burgers, so that’s high praise!).  Our entrees were delicious – even the fries were good, but it was our starter that left us wanting more.  The House Recipe Seafood Bisque was awesome!  I’m not exaggerating at all when I tell you that it was by far the best soup I’ve ever had.  We ordered a bowl to share, but we should’ve each ordered our own because we were practically fighting for the last spoonful.  I’m nearly drooling just thinking about it!

In case you couldn’t tell, I would highly recommend eating at the Blue Water Grill (you can check out their full menu here).  And while you’re in Millsboro you should look around a little bit; maybe you’ll decide it’s the perfect place for you.  If that’s the case, give us a call at Cooper Realty — 302-644-2266 and let us help you find your new home!

Do you like bowling? So do I. Try Laurel, Delaware’s new bowling alley.

Do you like bowling? Well, I do and recently I had the chance to find out it’s still a lot of fun. Especially if you haven’t bowled in a while. There are a lot of towns in Delaware that have bowling lanes. There is one in Millsboro, Delaware, Milford, Delaware and Seaford, Delaware, but we decided to try a brand new one. Bryan’s Bowling Center in Laurel, Delaware next to the Laurel Post Office. They were having their 1st year anniversary. I didn’t do all that bad either! Minimal gutter balls and a couple of strikes, what more could you want? Not bad for not having bowled in 37 years. I think I’ll get together some friends and do it again. Be sure to check out the lanes in local towns near you and go have some fun.
