The Marsh Road Diner - Week 2

The Marsh Road Diner - North Wilmington
Jason J

The sign that showed me the way

I have lived in the Northside of Wilmington for about a year and a half now, but hadn't noticed this place until about a month ago. Its easy enough to find since its right off of North Market Street as you head out of the city. However, it wasn't until I drove up there at nighttime that I noticed their nicely lit up sign sitting off the road that I had a clue that this place existed. Honestly, when I first drove by it, I couldn't believe that I had never seen it before, so I actually turned around to check it out. Sure enough, it was no mirage! It was an actual real live 24 hour dinner, just north of my neighborhood and right around the corner from my Wawa too! So I put it second on the list for the Fellas.

So, what did you get and what did you think?

Justin - western omelette, home fries, wheat toast  

Omelette was done well, home fries were decent, wheat toast was a little heavy on the butter and not hot when I got it - other than that - coffee was hot and good.

George - Three Eggs with Bacon, Sausage, & Ham + a side of Bacon and Orange Juice. 

The food was fast and it was good. I enjoy this spot because it is close to home and almost never crowded for breakfast especially not at 7 AM.

Jason J - I got 2 pancakes with syrup and a cuppa coffee.  

George's Gigantic Breakfast

Honestly the pancakes weren't all that good.  I was in a rare mood for some pancakes, so they were serviceable, but not particularly noteworthy. The coffee was alright, but I could have used a few more refills. The highlight of the meal was eating George's leftovers. He accidentally ordered way more than he could eat and I gladly finished it off for him. The sausage there was excellent! It was a nice big juicy link and for a moment, I considered licking the plate to get all the grease off when I was done.

I had a western omlet with some coffee and I tried some of George's extra sausage

Any Comments or Suggestions

Jason J: This was one of the largest gathering of the Fellas so far, so I'm glad we were at a place that could accommodate all of us. Even though the place was small, there was a lot of seating packed in there, so we didn't have any trouble.  Our waitress could have been a little more attentive and she seemed a little overwhelmed by a larger crowd so early in the morning.  I was slightly annoyed, but I can't fault the diner for the waitress's behavior per se.  I'll definitely come back sometime in the future and check it out again.


Arul:  At 6:30 in the morning, it is a great peaceful environment to get your day started. Great location, yummy food, and the hospitality was great. I look forward to meeting back at the Marsh Road Diner
