Jon GeorgeJanuary 21, 2013One of the best rest stops I have been to. Eight or nine different restaurant choices, kiosks thats sell a variety of quality sunglasses, winter wear, and watches. Bathrooms are kept extremely clean!!

Merlina RoJune 6, 2014If you have to stop for a break or rest, this place is so worth it. Two bathrooms each ladies & gentleman, it gets crowded on Saturdays and Sundays. Great selection of fast food.Upvoted Feb 11
Delaware has built the best rest stop along I-95 corridor. This bathrooms are clean, and the food court here has everything you could want. Don't bother with Maryland or Chesapeake House to the south.
JonElle L.September 29, 2012You are exactly 2 hours from NY w/out traffic. Clean. Clean. Clean bathrooms. Starbucks. Popeye's. Burger King. Baja Fresh and others. My favorite rest stop. MD House has nothing on this.- Hands down the best rest stop option on the DC to NYC trek. Popeyes chicken rocks.
Erkan SakaApril 23, 2019The cleanest restroom I have seen in my recent stops at rest areas. It is a big one with different food and drink options. It has a market, too.
If you don't come to the Delaware Welcome Center, then you'll never know the authentic Delaware. You'll just be another simpering bag of meat on the backside of society.
I always stop here. The nicest bathrooms on I 95. Nice food selection. You can get Pooeyes chicken for breakfast, if you wish. Get a side order of pancakes from BK and now you have chicken & pancakes
Rebecca WeinerJune 18, 2012Brand spankin' new! Bathrooms are nice & clean. If you don't need to stretch your legs, sit in the nice cushy chairs in front of the Starbucks!
Jackie BSeptember 4, 2012Fairly new and very nice. We had a make shift birthday party here on the way home from Atlantic city last year! If you need to stop for food, lots of places to pick from!
Phillip TiongsonAugust 19, 2013This rest area is really well designed. Airy. Decent food options. Men's women's and family bathrooms on both sides of the main area. Get in line for Starbucks when you arrive. It's the longest line.
Very clean service area. It is also significantly larger then the ones on the NJ Turnpike. Restrooms are on both sides of the building
Rodrigo VeraMarch 18, 2014The staff are very friendly and courteous. The entire facility has been remodeled and is in perfect and clean condition.
Great place to stop on I-95 once you’ve crossed the state line out of NJ. Two men’s and women’s restrooms on each side of the rest stop
Best stop on I-95 clean restrooms, large bright food court with many food choices @Starbucks Baja fresh, burger king, deli, pizza and pasta....more
Bob ConnellJuly 26, 2022WARNING: Absolutely filthy bathrooms! Lurkers in the men's bathroom... parents beware... Food prices extra high.. and extra long.. i ended up leaving.. its not what it used to be... so sad...- Sandy SmithJuly 10, 2022The biggest and best service plaza on the Kennedy Highway. Cheaper gas than at the Maryland plazas to boot.
EmilyJuly 15, 2012Super clean but SUPER BUSY! Lines for food & sbux were unreal. Grab something from the market & be on your way. Also there are two sets of gas pumps; don't stop at the first one!
Bathrooms are clean, and there are a wide variety of quick dining options. What more could you ask for in a rest stop?
Markus TarjamoDecember 16, 2016Clean, has a lot of food and coffee amenities, bathrooms typically don't get super crowded. Can be very expensive and is sorta a tourist trap. Good for a stop between Philly, NYC, DC and Baltimore.
Damien DupontJuly 4, 2013I was welcomed to DE by their royal hamburger envoy. service was courtly, and the mood convivial. While the meat preparation was rather not too my liking, the beverage service was truly king size.
Donovan MaguiganDecember 21, 2016Huge improvement on the previous building. Bathrooms are really clean (there is always somebody cleaning in there).
Theresa MariusSeptember 20, 2018The best rest stop on 95, all the information you need about the surrounding areas- Rodrigo VeraMarch 19, 2014Overall, I am satisfied with the facility and the variety of food options. The Baja Fresh outlet was a limited service and thus did not have my preferred meal option.
- Dave GlennDecember 28, 2011Best lookin' rest stop between NC and NJ. Clean, green, plenty of options to eat, Delaware info center, friendly staff.
Stephanie HayesMay 13, 2012Awesome places to eat or snack! Nice clean restroom facilities. Nicest welcome center between here and Knoxville TN
LisaJuly 17, 2013Refurbished into a chic Must-Stop Rest-Stop. Lots of food options, but EXPENSIVE!!! Best option is the "supermarket" & not Burger King etc. I mean $9.95 for a burger/fries? Really?! Lots of bathrooms
I love the display of all the artifacts they found while digging the foundation for this place. It's a rest stop *and* a history lesson!
Men’s room is filthy tonight. Get back to the glory days the other reviews all seem to refer to or you’re gonna find yourself in some serious goddamn trouble.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Debora PlehnAugust 16, 2013Great Starbucks! They even have tables where you can charge your electronic devices :)
Stacee RonaeJune 17, 2013this place is everything u need at a rest stop. there's a really cool Best Buy vending machine there. lots if parking too.
Lori K. http://www.lkpheartsfood.netSeptember 1, 2018First time I've been to a huge rest stop with NO line in ladies' room!- Damien DupontJuly 8, 2013Be careful. Even the laid back dignitaries from Louisiana can get stressed and confused, even a touch ornery, when the communal soda machine is out. Lawd a'mighty.
Steven DelsonJune 11, 2013Best rest area I've ever been to in terms of cleanliness, organization, food quality and staff friendliness.
Cynthia WrightMay 13, 2013Very clean. Plenty of options. Bolt bus has a rest stop here sometimes. Awesome sauce- The bathrooms are very clean for a rest stop! The new set up is more mall food court than anything--very lounge-like. Free wifi, good food, nice seats.
Nice place to stop right on I-95 - especially since they did a full rebuild of the rest stop plaza!
Joseph JeromeApril 6, 2013Very Clean and well lit .....and also plenty of choices of food places to eat.
Susan BaileySeptember 14, 2012Found a fantastic tea set here! Same design used by CAPT Picard in Star Trek Next Generations!!
Nadia SwanMarch 17, 2019It is a beautiful welcome center and very happy that the honor was for the Biden family.
Delaware Tourism OfficeMay 3, 2011Newly renovated, great choice of restaurants and has tons of information on what to do and see in Delaware!
Not one but two Starbucks kiosks! Great spot for late-night reading or sitting around to enjoy some coffee.- Ashley LouiseMarch 27, 2013Super clean bathrooms, Cinnabon and Popeyes -- what more could you ask for?
Daryl JarvinenAugust 2, 2015Pretty much everything. Just went into that one store to get 2 sodas and a water ended up spending 6.87. Expensive...
Might just be the nicest rest area I've ever stopped at and they have a Baja Fresh?? :)

"Iced Chai tea & Iced Black Tea. Worth the money. Rich, tasty flavor. Tea much cheaper elsewhere, but REALLY watered down. Starbucks is the way to go tea lovers!"

"The combos don't come with a drink, so you're looking at an additional 2.50 for a soda on top of combo price..."
