Top 5: Local Spots to Dine in and Around Dover

Don’t miss these spots to chow down when you’re traveling in or around Dover!

JP’s Wharf Restaurant & Bar

Channel this restaurant’s cute fishing town vibe as you enjoy some seriously fresh seafood. If fish isn’t your preference, you’ll also find a range of other menu items, including burgers, salads and steaks. Grab a cocktail, local beer or wine and choose a seat on the patio for can’t-beat views of the water.

Countrie Eatery

Countrie Eatery is a down-home local favorite, serving hearty portions of breakfast foods, like your grandma might cook. Think huge stacks of syrupy pancakes or French toast, sizzling sausage and bacon and runny eggs, all accompanied by some pretty great coffee. Don’t forget to try the regional favorite breakfast meat: scrapple.

Bonz Restaurant & Lounge

For an upscale dinner and top-tier service, try Bonz Restaurant & Lounge. The award-winning restaurant is a carnivore’s paradise with its thick cuts of steak that are regionally renowned. If the season’s right, request to dine al fresco. Definitely be sure you make a reservation!

Lemon Leaf Cafe

The adorable Lemon Leaf Cafe is set within a historic downtown building, for a unique dining experience that spreads guests across the structure’s original footprint. Some of the menu favorites include the cream of crab soup and Maryland vegetable crab soup, the mouthwatering croissant sandwiches and the grilled seafood entrees.

Grey Fox Grille & Public House

Situated in historic Dover, Grey Fox Grille sits in a restored Victorian home for further environment-driven dining. Try upscale menu items that feature local, fresh ingredients, but don’t think the beautiful environment means you’ll be eating tiny plates of frou-frou fine dining; instead, the menu features plenty of comfort food and American cuisine.
