The Charcoal Pit

The Charcoal Pit is the third name on the list of the best restaurants in Delaware. The Charcoal Pit Tradition began in September 1956, when it opened its doors for the first time. The "Pit", as faithful customers call it, was such an instant hit that only three months after its grand opening, it was decided to expand to accommodate the long queue of hungry customers. The "Pit" has grown from a small four-table and counter burger business to a 115-seat restaurant.

The casual ambiance puts us right where American cuisine belongs, in a stress-free environment where good company, good conversation, and a delicious shake are all you need to have a wonderful time. Their award-winning burgers have become a Delaware tradition. The formula is a well-guarded secret that has kept Delawareans hungry for the "Pit" for decades. Those who originally came to the "Pit" are now bringing their children and grandchildren to share in the delicious experience.
