Angelo's Luncheonette — Restaurant in Wilmington

I had high hopes :( I stopped in the other day as I like little places like this and unfortunately was turned off. Don't get me wrong, it's clean, and everyone is friendly except for the pricing and serving size. I ordered a spin on a Monte Cristo, which was a sandwich made out of French toast and ham,turkey, and Swiss cheese. Well when the food was brought to me I was shocked for $11.75 I got 2 pieces of wonder bread French toast ,a single slice of deli turkey, single slice of deli ham and a piece of Swiss cheese. BTW, the sandwich is Ala cart, so I added $3.95 for a side of breakfast potatoes. Both items came on a coffee cup saucer size plate. Needless to say, when I got my plate, I thought it truly was a joke, but to not be rude, I ate the food and left. Ala cart and pricing is just out of line for what...

Sooooo this is a weird review because I didn't actually eat there however, I did meet some buddies there that did.

Cannot say enough positive things about our experience at Angelos. We're on a road trip around the US and we try the iconic food of each state as we travel around. Scrapple was the food to try in Delaware and we are so grateful that Angelo's Luncheonette was the recommendation that popped up for us. Our kids have claimed it as their favorite food stop in the US. The service was unparalleled. Seriously the best staff that made our morning. Even the other customers were some of the friendliest and kindest people we've met in our travels. As we drove away they were waving through the window. It felt like a wonderful morning with family. Thanks so much Angelo's...
