Yelp.com Review - by Harriet C.

3.0 of 5 stars. So my boyfriend suggested going there after the Delaware Art Museum. I thought it was a great idea, because I hadn't been in years, and the last one I'd been to was their Bear location on Route 40....

4.0 of 5 stars. I have been coming to this place for years and my family has been coming here for at least 2 generations. The burgers are really the only reason to go here. Well besides the milkshakes. I always get a...

3.0 of 5 stars. 3.5 but rounding down due to the onion. My sister and I both voiced our opinions at the same time (although I dont remember who stated it first). After numerous excursions that have gone by the...

4.0 of 5 stars. Hitch your wagon & giddy-up down the Concorde Pike to the Charcoal Pit for the biggest and most excellent chargrilled burgers this side of the Rio Grande. Okay, pretty much everything in the U.S. is...

5.0 of 5 stars. This is the oldest eating establishment on Concord Pike (Rt. 202). The burger platter is the best in the area. Traditional ice cream sundaes are unforgettable!

4.0 of 5 stars. Cheap tasty nostalgia. Awesome classic shakes (B&W is my fave). When the jukebox works, it has a nice selection of retro hits (when I get bad service service, I put in "Freebird" before I leave). A...

Yelp.com Review - by Suzanne S.

4.0 of 5 stars. This place is neat. I say neat, because the Charcoal Pit makes me take on the vernacular of the 1950's ... it's just that authentic and old. Despite a non-working jukebox at the table ... I was...

Good stand-by

All Wilmingtonians have fond memories of this place. The food is very 'american', the service is quick but not always overly friendly. Place is often packed but wait is reasonable. Very kid friendly

Yelp.com Review - by Missy M.

4.0 of 5 stars. This place gets high marks for being a landmark in Delaware. It's not the best food, it's not the biggest place, but it's one of my fondest memories. It was a huge treat to hit up the pit as a child....

dirti-ish by Wang L. at InsiderPages

maybe its the intentional style of the restaurant, but I feel that this place was dirty and that changed my mind about the sanitariness of the food. Overall pretty good though

Good Eats by chesiree w. at InsiderPages

The food here was good and the prices reasonable. One the day of my visit the service at the takeout was a little slow. Friendliness of the server made up for the slow service.

Good Food & Icecream

They have expanded their menu so now you can get steak, chicken, lots of appetizers, good ice cream. Kids love it. TV's to occupy you during the wait.
