Philadelphia, PA
- The Claymont Delaware foodie scene is alive and well. A day of drinking and cheesesteaks with Amigo Dan ended with an Adam's Rib and Grille brisket sandwich at Hangman Brewing Company. Both have a Philadelphia Pike address.
Adams' Rib & Grille: Claymont's BBQ Spot with Standout Brisket & Heavenly Cheesecake
CLAYMONT, DE – A promising new barbecue destination has arrived in Claymont, and it's already making a name for itself with delicious smoked meats and remarkably friendly service. Adams' Rib & Grille, a fresh addition to the local dining scene, is quickly proving to be a spot worth supporting, especially if you're looking to champion new, local businesses run by genuinely good people.
From the initial phone call to place an order, where a "delightful" young woman assisted, to the warm reception at pickup by "three of the nicest people you would ever want to meet," the hospitality at Adams' Rib & Grille shines. This focus on customer service creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel good about your dining choice even before the first bite.
The star of the savory menu, based on this experience, is undoubtedly the brisket sandwich. The brisket itself was lauded as "delicious," showcasing quality meat and proper smoking technique. While the roll was described as "average at best," the flavorful brisket did not disappoint. (A friendly tip learned during the visit: while the kitchen kindly accommodated a request for cheese on the brisket, it seems most patrons – and perhaps the brisket itself – prefer it unadorned to let the pure smoky flavor take center stage.)
However, an unexpected showstopper at Adams' Rib & Grille is their cheesecake. So impressive was this dessert that it was deemed worth a return visit for the cheesecake alone – a high compliment for any barbecue joint!
Located in a shopping center in Claymont (in the same building that formerly housed a brewery), Adams' Rib & Grille is a testament to conscientious, customer-focused entrepreneurship.
If you're in the Claymont, Delaware area and looking to support a new local business that pairs delicious barbecue – particularly their standout brisket – with exceptional, friendly service, make your way to Adams' Rib & Grille. And whatever you do, save room for the cheesecake; it might just be the best decision you make all day. This hardworking team is focused on delivering a great experience, and they are a welcome addition to the community.
