Delawareans are foodies at heart – after all, our state is one place where you can find the best peach pie, salty french fries, delicious salt water taffy, and even the region’s best meatballs. One meal that we do particularly well is chicken and dumplings – but we have our own way of making them. Jimmy’s Grille in Bridgeville makes the most Delmarvalous slippery dumplings around, so be sure to head out and try them.
Please note, Jimmy’s Grille has permanently closed.

Delmarva in general is known for being the chicken capital of the country, and Jimmy’s is no exception. Their fried chicken is absolutely legendary.

When it comes down to it, though, people travel from across the peninsula to try Jimmy’s take on a true treat - chicken and slippery dumplings.
Jimmys Grill
This Delmarvalous tradition is made with flat, wide noodles in place of the typical round doughy dumplings you’ll find elsewhere. The creamy, chicken gravy and chunks of fresh chicken combine to make it a true home-cooked meal.
