The Promenade Grille – Havre De Grace, MD

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020 – 2024, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2024, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-24, Top 25 Philly Food RSS Feeds in 2024, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022-24 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment, and WINNER of Metro Philly Newspaper 2023 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment.

If you haven’t yet experienced The Promenade Grille in Millard Tydings Memorial Park, you’re missing out! Nestled along the scenic waterfront of Havre de Grace, MD, this charming eatery offers a perfect blend of delicious food, stunning views, and a vibrant atmosphere.

The history of The Promenade Grille is as inviting as its menu. It’s become a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike, thanks to its prime location and commitment to serving fresh, high-quality meals. The restaurant captures the essence of Maryland’s culinary tradition, showcasing the region’s famous seafood while maintaining an approachable and casual vibe.

Before the season wraps up, make sure to visit! The waterfront area around the park is a delight, with expansive walking paths, beautiful views of the Susquehanna River, and plenty of recreational activities to enjoy. Whether you’re strolling along the water, watching the boats go by, or simply soaking in the gorgeous sunset, it’s an experience not to be missed.

Now, let’s talk about the food! The Promenade Grille doesn’t disappoint. I indulged in their crab cake sandwich, complete with mushrooms and onions—perfectly seasoned with Old Bay and Old Bay Fries for that quintessential Maryland flavor with a few hush puppies thrown in as well. It was a delightful mix of textures and tastes. I also tried the soft shell crab sandwich, which was simply divine. Both dishes were not only mouthwatering but also reasonably priced, making it easy to enjoy a fantastic meal without breaking the bank. They also serve amazing milkshakes.

The Promenade Grille is a gem, and I highly recommend you visit before the season ends. With a wonderful menu, breathtaking views, and a lively atmosphere, it’s an experience that embodies the best of what Havre de Grace has to offer. Don’t miss out!

PrimoHoagies – Clarksboro, NJ

PrimoHoagies – Clarksboro, NJ

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020 – 2024, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2024, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-24, Top 25 Philly Food RSS Feeds in 2024, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022-24 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment, and WINNER of Metro Philly Newspaper 2023 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment.

PrimoHoagies in Clarksboro, NJ I recently tried their Chicken Suprimo, and it hit the spot. It was chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, and perfectly roasted red peppers, all nestled between a soft, seeded roll. It’s the kind of sandwich that satisfies your cravings and leaves you feeling content.

Did you know the history behind PrimoHoagies and the beloved hoagie itself? Per their website, Hoagie has its roots in Philadelphia’s Hog Island during World War I? Originally called “hoggies” by Italian immigrants working in the shipyard, these meat-filled sandwiches became a lunchtime staple. Over time, the name evolved to “hoagies,” and in 1992, the hoagie was proudly named the official sandwich of Philadelphia. Coincidentally, PrimoHoagies emerged onto the scene in 1992, founded by Richard and Colleen Neigre right in the heart of South Philadelphia. Fast forward a decade, and PrimoHoagies began franchising, spreading their love for hoagies far and wide. Today, with 90 franchise locations across the country and more in development, PrimoHoagies continues to grow, offering their signature sandwiches to hoagie enthusiasts everywhere.

Ziggel’s Cuisine – Voorhees Township, NJ

Ziggel’s Cuisine – Voorhees Township, NJ

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020 – 2024, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2024, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-24, Top 25 Philly Food RSS Feeds in 2024, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022-24 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment, and WINNER of Metro Philly Newspaper 2023 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment.

Ziggel’s Cuisine in Voorhees Township, NJ may be small in size, but it’s big on flavor and even bigger on friendly service. While it might not have a ton of seats for dining in, that just adds to its charm. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re part of the family from the moment you walk through the door. The jerk chicken with rice and peas and cabbage is a true taste sensation. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and cooked to juicy perfection, with just the right amount of kick from the jerk seasoning. And let’s not forget about the sides – the rice and peas are fluffy and flavorful, while the cabbage adds a satisfying crunch and freshness to the dish. It’s a little of a fancier version of Jerk Chicken and not as smoky as you would expect so some may complain about that, but regardless it was tasty. I would certainly go back to try more of the menu.

Eating that appetizer of Fried Zucchini was biting into a golden-brown slice of heaven. The zucchini was perfectly sliced, coated in a light, crispy batter, and seasoned to perfection. Each bite had flavorful zucchini inside. It’s the kind of appetizer that leaves you wanting more after every bite, with its irresistible combination of savory flavors and satisfying texture.

As for the Chicken Francese it was a sauce made with capers, butter, white wine, and lemon. The chicken was lightly breaded and pan-fried to achieve a crispy exterior while remaining moist. The sauce was a blend of tangy lemon, savory butter, and the subtle bite of capers, enhanced by the richness of the white wine on top of linguine.

They are above average for your regular pizza place, and the highlight by far was the fried zucchini. I could eat that all day.

The wings were perfectly grilled, boasting a tantalizing char that added depth to the already rich marinade. The fusion of sweet and savory in the Korean BBQ sauce was a stroke of genius, elevating these wings to a level of culinary artistry seldom seen in pub fare.

Equally impressive was the filet tip cheesesteak, a decadent masterpiece. Featuring tender, seared filet tips nestled amidst a symphony of flavors, including caramelized onions, a velvety four-cheese sauce, blistered shishitos, all housed within a perfectly crafted seeded roll. Each component harmonized effortlessly, elevating the traditional cheesesteak experience. Paired with a generous serving of crispy fries, it was a delicious meal.

This is an old school pizzeria with a family run feel. You can tell this place was a hot spot back in the day. There is a certain charm to that. I enjoyed my visit as prices were reasonable, service was great, and food was better than your usual pizza shop. Started with Italian Wedding Soup with garlic knots that were packed with fresh garlic. Then the entree was chicken parmigiana with spaghetti. No surprises here, but definitely a solid choice if you are around the area.

Yummy Yummy Take Out Chinese Restaurant – Bellmawr, NJ

Yummy Yummy Take Out Chinese Restaurant – Bellmawr, NJ

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020 – 2024, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2024, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-24, Top 25 Philly Food RSS Feeds in 2024, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022-24 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment, and WINNER of Metro Philly Newspaper 2023 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment.

Yummy Yummy Take Out Chinese Restaurant in Bellmawr, New Jersey is serving up an array of Americanized Chinese cuisine. It falls slightly above the average take-out joint and as it surprises with unique offering of delicious Sha Cha beef. Sha Cha beef. This lesser-known dish hails from the Chaoshan region of China and is a true culinary delight. Sha Cha sauce, the heart of this dish, is a savory and slightly spicy concoction made from soybean oil, garlic, shallots, chilies, brill fish, and dried shrimp. It’s a symphony of flavors that adds depth and complexity to any dish it graces.

Yummy Yummy Take Out’s rendition of Sha Cha beef is not spot on, but they get the job done. Slices of beef are stir-fried to perfection with crisp vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and broccoli. The result? A harmonious blend of savory, spicy, and slightly sweet flavors with each bite.

What sets Yummy Yummy Take Out apart is their willingness to venture beyond the usual fare found at most Americanized Chinese restaurants. While you can certainly find your classic General Tso’s chicken and sweet and sour pork here, it’s the inclusion of dishes like Sha Cha beef that sets them apart from the rest.

At Oriental Pearl Restaurant in Haddonfield, NJ, you’re transported to a bygone era of classic Chinese dining. Nestled in the bustling heart of Downtown Haddonfield, this neighborhood gem offers a comforting haven for those seeking a familiar taste of tradition.

I had the beef lo mein, a staple of Chinese-American cuisine, delivered a satisfying medley of tender beef, crisp vegetables, and savory noodles, offering a reliable choice for those craving familiar flavors. While not revolutionary, it satisfied with its simplicity. The Chinese Pizza was ok, but a tad greasy, and the Wonton soup, a time-honored classic, showcases Oriental Pearl’s commitment to crafting comforting dishes that warm the soul.

They are located amidst the vibrant bustle of Downtown Haddonfield providing a convenient retreat for those seeking a quick and affordable dining experience.
