Two Stones Pub Wilmington — Restaurant in Delaware

Sat at the bar for dinner and drinks with a friend around 5pm. It was moderately busy but not too loud, with kind of an awkwardly shaped floor plan, basically 2 hallways separated by a wall. Bartender was nice enough. I had the pear cocktail and a glass of the red sangria offered from the cocktail list; both were delicious, but the pear cocktail lacked the larger pear and ginger notes I expected from the ingredients. It mostly just tasted like a spiked sparkling lemonade; good, but not expected.

My friend and I shared a plate of the brussel sprouts after I saw reviews recommending them. They had good flavor, but my friend and I both noted how salty they were and how absolutely drenched they were in the sesame-soy sauce. We both enjoyed the sriracha aioli with them, but they made me thirsty 😬

I ordered the Peebee & Jay burger (pictured) and enjoyed it greatly!! The flavors worked great together. The beef patty had good flavor, but was definitely rare and not the medium I asked for. I didn't mind enough to ask for a replacement. The pork belly was crispy, with good flavor, maybe a little overdone. The popper fries were delicious! I felt like the little pickle nubbin' on my plate was strange and difficult to eat. I'd rather have had a spear or whole mini pickle; my friend commented on how it looked like I got stiffed with a pickle stem lol

My friend ordered the shrimp arancini (pictured) and loved it!! He told me the carrot puree was delicious and the plating was beautiful. I didn't try his food but it smelled and looked great! He also enjoyed his draft beer.

Overall, I had a good time, but I felt like there was a lot to be improved about the food and drink. I hate to be nitpicky, but after paying $63 (after 20% tip) for a modest meal at a restaurant I've heard rave reviews from locals over and over, I would've expected these smaller details to be locked down and perfected. With it's convenient location and appealing menu, I will most likely be back to give 2SP another try.

P.S. the music playlist was boppin'!

EDIT (4/11/24): Originally I had written celiac folks beware due to the "gluten friendly" label on dishes containing soy sauce. The restaurant has replied clarifying they use La Choy Gluten Free Soy Sauce. My review has been edited to reflect this and I'm happy to hear the restaurant takes allergies seriously 😁 I strive for honesty in my reviews and I thank 2SP for their clarification; I...

My friend and I were thrilled with the loaded kettle chips (although the chips themselves were stone cold) and wonderful service and then the burgers came. Underwhelmed is an understatement. If I'm paying $15 - 17 for a burger, I expect it to be at least the size of a quarter pound burger from the local chains. The burger patty literally looked like they took it out of a box and was about the thickness of a local chain's regular burger. The guacamole was good and the chipotle was a nice addition but if those toppings are listed to be on the burger, I expect them to be on TOP of the meat where you can see them, not smooshed between the bottom bun and burger. I really thought the server brought us the wrong order because it looked like a turkey burger with tomato and onion. I really wasn't set on a burger but other than appetizers, they have a very poor selection of other sandwiches, which along with the price made me think the burgers were a "specialty".

The Bread Pudding and the Blueberry cheesecake were very good, although I thought the caramel sauce, which is supposed to be house made, tasted a bit burnt (if you are going to make it in house, you better know how to make it).

I have been to Two Stones in Newark several times although not since they moved to the new location and I am now recalling their menu had become somewhat limited for my tastes. I won't be going back, too many other places with more variety and...

I recently visited Two Stones Pub at 2502 Foulk Road in Wilmington, DE, and had a fantastic experience. This pub is well-known for its diverse menu and extensive selection of craft beers, making it a great spot for food lovers and beer enthusiasts alike.

The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, including appetizers, mains, and desserts. One standout was their signature "fry piles" — generous servings of crispy fries topped with various delicious toppings. They were a hit with everyone at the table. In addition to the food, the beer selection was impressive, with a range of craft brews that paired perfectly with the meal.

The service was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a great time from start to finish. The atmosphere in the pub was relaxed and cozy, making it a great spot for both a casual meal with friends or a family dinner.

Overall, I highly recommend Two Stones Pub if you're in the Wilmington area. The food is tasty, the drink selection is top-notch, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I’ll definitely be returning to try more dishes and enjoy...
