It's a small building on the side of the road that's been standing since it first opened in January of 1985.
The small white building is easy to miss, so keep an eye out.

Helen's Sausage House is one of the smallest restaurants in Delaware and there are only a few seats for dining in the establishment itself. Most people take their sandwiches to-go.
The parking lot is small, too, so be ready to wait for a parking space if you need to. Trust us, it's worth the wait.
