Relish — Restaurant in Ridley Township

I have never written a restaurant review before, but Relish is special enough that I felt compelled to do so.

We first visited Relish by happenstance. We had planned to go to a different restaurant that night, but due to a long wait time, we opted to go elsewhere. When we arrived at Relish, we saw that it was almost closing time, and, not wanting to be “those customers” who come into a restaurant right before they close, we went to the window with the intention of ordering our food to go.

Jenn, who was working at the window, greeted us warmly and asked us what we would like. We told her we hadn’t been to Relish before and asked for her recommendations. “You haven’t been here before?” she said. “Come inside!” (It turned out that what we thought was closing time was simply when they shut off the grill.)

When we came inside, we were greeted by a friendly crew who treated us like royalty. Jenn brought out samples of the pulled pork and the various house-made relishes (side note: try the sweet vidalia onion relish; it is terrific). They gave our kids those gummy hot dog and hamburger candies, and even milkshakes as they were cleaning out the excess from the milkshake machine. As we ate our dinner, the staff talked with us, asked us our names, and engaged with our kids. We were beyond impressed with the food, the service, and the overall atmosphere.

Given how great our experience had been that first night, we decided to make Relish a weekly thing. The food was delicious, of course, but it was really the people that kept us coming back. Jenn, Ashley, Lisa, Sarge, Eric, Bella, Jamie, Johnny, the whole crew — each individual person who works there is delightful, kind, and fun to talk to. They are great with kids, they care about their customers, and yes, they make amazing food. (Those “Best of Delco” awards are well deserved.) My 6-year-old once drew a picture for Relish, and they hung it up high for all to see; that’s just the kind of place it is.

We will soon be moving away from PA, and as strange as it might be to say this about a simple hot dog joint, Relish is one of the things I will miss most of all about living here. Not only does it have the best burger I have ever eaten, it is truly the best restaurant I have ever been to, period. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Thanks to the Relish crew for the amazing food and the...

Review of Relish in Milmont

My family and I recently dined at Relish, and we had a fantastic experience right from the start. We sat at the bar, and our waitress, Jen, was attentive and full of great recommendations.

I decided to try Jen's suggestion: the chicken cheesesteak garlic parm wrap. It did not disappoint! The wrap was packed with marinated, tender chicken and topped with a delicious garlic Parmesan sauce that reminded me of a tableside Caesar dressing. It’s safe to say it was the highlight of our meal.

We also ordered a few other items to share. The chicken fingers were perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining tender and flavorful inside. The chili cheese dog was another standout; the hot dog was well-cooked, and the chili sauce was rich in flavor and had the right consistency.

The double bacon cheeseburger was hearty and satisfying, while the vanilla milkshake was indulgently rich and creamy—I loved it so much that I ordered a second one! The beef hot dog was also a hit, complemented by an impressive selection of condiments and cheeses. The mild kick from the relish added an extra layer of flavor.

For sides, the French fries were perfectly salted and crispy, making them a great accompaniment to our meal. We couldn’t resist trying the beignets for dessert, and they were as close to what you'd find in New Orleans as you can get! Light, fluffy, and with just the right amount of powdered sugar, they melted in our mouths and brought back memories of the Big Easy.

Overall, Relish provided a delightful dining experience, with the chicken cheesesteak wrap being the undeniable showstopper. Plus, there's the added bonus of free parking, making it easy to enjoy a meal there. Highly...

I was a fan of The Hot Dog Stand and now I’m a fan of Relish! I took my granddaughter there after picking her up from school and we demolished four hot dogs. They were so good! I had two with relish, mustard and onions. My granddaughter had two with relish and ketchup (don’t ask, she likes it). That homemade relish is so delicious. We also polished off an order of cheese fries and washed it all down with two draft birch beers. The staff was great! Really friendly and fast. Thank you to the cashier, Teresa who helped us. She was so patient while my granddaughter made her decision about her hot dog toppings. Judging by the amount of people there, Relish will be around for a while. Next time we go (which will be real soon) I’ll snap a photo and add to my review. Go...
