Hey foodies, if you're new to this blog, just an FYI, we usually answer all dining questions on Friday. (But you can send them in earlier.) But I'm posting these questions today since I missed last Friday. Keep the questions coming and we'll answer more tomorrow.
Here's what on your minds:
DEAR PATRICIA, WE LIVE IN MIDDLETOWN, DE. 19709 AND DESPERATELY MISS A FAVORITE THAI RESTAURANT WE USED TO FREQUENT (BEFORE WE RELOCATED) IN LAMBERTVILLE, NJ. CALLED "SIAM.” WE CRAVE THE COCONUT & LEMONGRASS SOUPS, NOT TO MENTION THE SPICY SAUTEED SQUID. PLEASE RECOMMEND A FEW LOCAL SPOTS THAT SPECIALIZE IN THAI CUISINE. MANY THANX. LOUIE AND SHER.
Thai cuisine fans are finally getting some love in the First State. Bangkok House on Union Street in Wilmington had long been the lone Thai eatery, but now there’s Tasti Thai, 287 Christiana Road, Community Plaza; 322-1306, New Castle; and Sweet Basil, a new modern BYO Thai restaurant off U.S. 202, near Chadds Ford, Pa. (Review coming soon.) Rehoboth Beach has Seaside Thai on Rehoboth Avenue. Isn't there someplace in Dover? What else am I missing readers?
Hi, we live in Sussex County, would like to meet somewhere in Dover with friends who live in Wilmington for a late lunch, timing around 2 p.m. on a Saturday, any suggestions, besides the chain restaurants? Know anything about "Reel Fresh Seafood" in Dover? Thanks, Tricia Dunion.
Eric Ruth suggests Cool Springs Fish Bar & Restaurant, 2463 S. State St., Dover, 698-1955. He says, "it's perhaps appropriate that one of Dover's best restaurants is at a countryesque crossroads, far from the chain restaurant mayhem of Du Pont Highway."
Why it's worth the wander: Inventive, fresh and well-prepared seafood in a modern setting
You wrote of a place to get scrapple sandwiches which is south of Wilmington, maybe in Smyrna. Do you recollect its name, location? thanks. Bernadine Z Paulshock of Wilmington.
Bernadine, I believe you're thinking of Helen’s Famous Sausage House, Du Pont Highway (U.S. 13), Smyrna; 653-4200. In 2001, this Delaware institution was picked by Gourmet magazine as one of their 100 favorite places to eat - in the world. No kidding. The early-morning Smyrna roadside eatery - it opens Mondays through Saturdays at 4 a.m. - has long been known for its deep-fried sausage sandwiches.
But Helen's has gained a following with its scrapple sub. (I love the porkchop sandwich.)
Ask [Walter’s Steakhouse] whatever happened to my favorite server Martha?
According to owner John Walter Constantinou, “Martha is still around. She’s living in New Castle and I heard she’s doing well.”
Although Walter’s Steakhouse pricing might have changed in the last few years since I dined there, their policy was to increase the price of all entrees on Thursdays when offering the 'complimentary', 'free' raw bar. Robert P. Kane
Not true, says owner John Walter Constantinou. “There is one menu with the same prices seven days a week.” The complimentary raw bar is, indeed, free.

There is a place south of Dover, right across rt 13 from the Ollies store. It's called Thai Style, 1855 S DuPont Hwy, 302-730-4472. It's a tiny family run place, maybe 8-10 tables. The food is amazing, much better than anything I've had anywhere else in DE, at least to me. What's nice about it is the owners remember you and treat you like friends.
Yes, It's a wonderful place to dine and the food is very good!!!! I reccomend it
Another fine place to dine in Dover is Michael's at Dover Downs it's a bit pricey but well worth it
