The Charcoal Pit Is A Tiny, Old-School Drive-In That Might Be One Of The Best Kept Secrets In Delaware

Sometimes, you’re in the mood for fine dining – you know, white tablecloths and menus without prices. Sometimes you’re in the mood for the most popular, hippest spot in the city. But sometimes, what you’re really looking for is just a small, lesser-known but incredibly delicious comfort spot. And if you’re in Wilmington, have we got the spot for you.

If you need old-school style and tasty diner fare, that’s The Charcoal Pit. Granted, The Charcoal Pit is popular enough that it has two locations in Delaware and it’s considered to be a bit of an institution in the area, but it’s still managed to preserve its low-key charm. The ambience is chill and the food is plentiful: we’re talking massive burgers, hearty BLT sandwiches, chicken tenders with your choice of dipping sauce, and mac and cheese bites. Yes, mac and cheese bites, universally recognized as the most delicious appetizer out there. Plus, it’s all super affordable!

And oh, don’t worry – you can’t go wrong with either restaurant location. Both bring the good vibes and the good food.

So when you’re in Delaware in need of a charming restaurant with that old-school vintage feel and delicious food, there is one place that should be top of mind: The Charcoal Pit.
