The Brunch n Lunch

Great place to come by and grab great quality food. If you are a foodie come an give these guys a try. Great relaxed atmosphere!

This place was amazing! The food was very tasty and the service even better. They were all very friendly and helpful. And it was our first time trying scrapple which was much better than anticipated. I’d definitely get it again. I appreciated the tradition that was included with it. Thanks guys!

Brunch n lunch is a cute little restaurant in downtown Dover. They have a pretty big menu. Every time I go I always get their buffalo chicken fries. They are SO good. I’ve seen that they have a milkshake that has a donut in it. I’m dying to try that. The people there are so incredibly friendly. I love the atmosphere and the vibes that this place has.

Amazingly I got to meet the owner, which in larger companies that’s unheard of, but I was pleased with his attitude and his vision for the BnL.
I have been before and loved the breakfast, so I invited a friend and I brought some work with me.
We both enjoyed scrapple sandwiches and brainstormed wroth the owner on things to change, add, fix, etc… That doesn’t happen.
Anyhow, he was very receptive of our feedback and the scrapple was cooked just right. Thanks for a pleasant experience for the 3^rd time in a row.
Oh, funny thing is, I can’t remember the young lady’s name, but she remembered us from the first time and remembered what we ordered. That was a bonus.

I read about Brunch &Lunch in this month’s issue of Delaware Magazine. My neighbors and I decided to go for Saturday brunch. The website says they open at 10 am. We arrived about 10:15 am. The café was closed. Everything was dark. We looked in the window and it looks deserted. Too bad. There is no place for breakfast in downtown Dover but hey the liquor store is open.

Came here on break from jury duty so I didn’t have my camera. I had the special chicken salad sandwich and fries with a soda for seven bucks. Let me tell you that was the best chicken salad I have ever had. huge pieces of chicken, seasoned so well with something delicious and onions and I guess tomatoes. Then the bread! It was a roll I think ciabatta, so light and huge. Found out he gets it from tifanny and company from around the corner.
My friend had a Turkey burger that she also said was delicious. You could tell it was cooked without being dry. There were several others that got some huge burgers.
The food is truly worth looking past the other things. Things I hope he fixes. It could use a good sweep and mop. They should keep condiments and plastic ware out so you don’t have to ask for it.
You can tell this is a place that is just starting out and doesn’t have much staff. The menu also needs to be redone. It was hard to tell what to order since so many things were crossed off.
I wish the owner well. Dover needs good food and you can tell he is a great chef.

First time visiting BNL. I was debating hard to give a 1 star, but since they just recently opened, I thought it would be unfair to judge the service since there is obviously a system that needs to be worked out.
This review is based solely on the brunch. I read the great reviews and decided to give the place a try after looking at the menu online. The location is an older storefront that has had some remodel, but if you are looking for a bright, shiny, super clean restaurant, this isn’t for you. My first impression walking in wasn’t that great, but I’ve had some awesome food in some real dives. There is no apparent table service so we head to the counter to order. I’m not sure what was going on because when I asked about the menu, the person at the counter pointed to a chalkboard. I didn’t see any printed menu so I’m not sure if they don’t offer the full menu on the weekend.
Ordered shrimp and grits (10 dollars) and pancakes and bacon (5.50). Paid and took a seat. We were not offered or asked about beverages, but we noticed a drink cooler against a back wall and a few people had glasses of water. Returned to the counter and asked for some ice water. There is also no apparent system to determine who is getting which order. The counter staff seemed confused and spent a lot of time talking to regulars rather than trying to keep track of orders coming out. We were asked twice what we had before our meal came was brought to us.
Initially I was underwhelmed with the presentation of both dishes. It was 2 super thin pancakes and bacon and a bowl of white grits with 6 shrimp and small portion of wilted spinach. The pancakes didn’t come with syrup so I went to the counter to ask for some along with some hot sauce to go with the grits. Now for the food! The pancakes had a strange almost soapy flavor. It’s hard to describe, but it left almost a chemical aftertaste. I am wondering if way too much baking soda was used. Also, on the bottom of one of the pancakes was a couple of leaves of wilted spinach. I’m guessing they cooked the pancakes on the griddle they used to make the shrimp and grits and it transferred. The grits didn’t have much flavor and didn’t taste seasoned. No cheese, pepper, or anything like that. Just plain white grits. Overall, I was underwhelmed with the taste of both dishes.
I don’t know what they are like during the week. It could be a completely different operation, but the disorganized service, lackluster food, presentation, and price did not result in a great experience. The prices also didn’t meet the expectations of the meal, especially for the Dover area. I had high hopes because of the glowing reviews, but BNL fell way short of hitting the mark.

Amazing breakfast! Fast and polite service. I recommend the A-​aron. My family ate outside and they had no problem making sure we were satisfied throughout our meal. Will come back again for sure.

Im not from the area, but every time I come to DE. I will stop at BnL! The staff is hands down fun and very professional.
Alrighty! Now for the good stuff.
Im a burger man. And let me tell YOU! The Brunch N Lunch has some of the most epic burgers you ever laid eyes on. I really wish I could remember which burger i had so I can recommend it fo yo taste buds! Basically if you love burgers, or just a fan of food (foodie) in general; i HIGHLY recommend taking a stroll over to The Brunch N Lunch

Good food, super friendly staff. They are a new restaurant and are still figuring a couple things out, but the staff was eager to please and very helpful. My friend and I spent the day there working and drinking coffee, and they were very accommodating. I got an egg sandwich that was just right and my friend had mac and cheese that was yummy. I’m not from the area, but I would recommend BnL to anyone who is!

This place has had a huge turn around from what it used to be. I went in for an informal business meeting; the staff was great and concerned about making sure everything was great. The food was hot and fresh (I had the veggie and cheese omelet) and was a great amount of food. I’ll definitely be back to try lunch!
