| - Dilworth Neighborhood Grille is your basic neighbood bar and grill -- hey, it's in the name! You walk in and the bar area is upstairs, next to a long staircase leading you downstairs to a lot more seating. It has a very clean feeling to it; nothing dirty or grungy here. You can feel very comfortable eating here.
I've eaten here once for breakfast and countless times for dinner. The breakfast buffet was so-so. It was your basic scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, etc. Nothing stood out, so I haven't been back for breakfast since. However, for dinner (and lunches, too, but I can never make it at that time!), I was pleased to see their extensive menu. At first glance, my eye was immediately drawn to the Chicken Spiedie Wrap and Chicken Spiedie Pizza Pie. Why? I hadn't heard the name Spiedie since I lived in upstate New York. Sure enough, on the menu it reads, "Spiedies are an upstate New York Tradition." The Spiedie sauce is basically vinegar with spices (and sold at Harris Teeter -- plug, plug!), but it's oh-so-good when you marinate chicken in it. And it's even better when someone does it for you. From the first moment I tried the Spiedie options at Dilworth Neighborhood Grille, I was hooked. They are definitely worth going to DNG for and are offered at such a great value for dinner.
The service at DNG has always been spectacular, too, whether I'm upstairs at the bar or downstairs at a table. Best of all, one of the owners has usually been there when I've been, greets me, welcomes me back, and always checks up on us to make sure everything with our meals is good. THAT'S service with a smile.
