Amazing Wok

One of the biggest questions when visiting or touring West Deptford is “Where can I get something to eat?” Look no further! Below is a list of a few good places to grab a meal, whether you’re on the go or dining in. In addition, this list does not include every place in West Deptford. The list would be very long and would never end. Also, this list does not include convenient stores such as Wawa or Heritages. So without further ado, here is a list of some really good places to chow down in West Deptford.

In A Pickle

In A Pickle is a very small, but great place to go. Its one of those places where no one really hears about them, yet its really good. They were actually voted Best Lunch of Gloucester County in 2011 and 2012. They have salads, wraps, deli specials, soups, appetizers, special sandwiches, and quesadillas. They also have a children’s menu and a small pickle bar. I’ve heard about it, but I never got a chance to try something. So this week, I was able to go there and try something. I ordered their Louisiana Style BBQ Pulled Pork. It is described as “savory pulled pork tenderloin marinated in a tangy BBQ sauce on a long roll.” You can upgrade and get a slice of cheese for another dollar if you want to. It was really good, but I didn’t care for the sauce. For me, it was too tangy, but overall it was really good. It also came with a small bag of chips. I also got the fried pickles appetizer and it was really good too. It came with ranch dressing and there were three flavors (Traditional, Southern, or Pickle Fries). It was really good! My sister, who came with me, ordered blackened salmon salad. It was a special that they were offering. She got it with balsamic vinaigrette. She said it was really good! So if you ever get a chance, try to go to In A Pickle.

Amazing Wok Amazing Wok is another great place to visit. It’s in the same complex as In a Pickle. (Side note: when me and my sister went to In A Pickle, she said that there was an Asian place further down the complex and wanted to see what they had. Instead of just grabbing a take-out menu, she ending up ordering food, which happened to be a really good idea because their food is awesome!) We tried their dumplings and general tso’s tofu. The tofu came with rice and it was absolutely amazing! I’m going have to go back and order the tofu again! Amazing Wok is really small and there is barely any room to sit and eat there. I suggest you order take-out from them rather than dining in. Overall, they are very nice people and their food is really good so I suggest you go there too.

Colonial Diner The Colonial Diner is another great place to grab something to eat. They have been serving for over 40 years and they recently finish rebuilding some parts of their restaurant as well. They are a traditional diner and basically serve what tradition diner’s usually serve. Their food is good nevertheless and a great place to go with family, friends, or a date.
Ciconte’s Pizza Ciconte’s Pizza is one of my favorite pizza places to go to. Their pizza is really good and the rest of their menu is really good too.
Riverwinds Restaurant Riverwinds Restaurant is another great place to go to. Their prices are little bit above average for diners. So for those on a budget, please be carful going there. In addition, their dress code is a little nicer than average restaurants. So again, be careful when going there. Overall, their food is really good. Riverwinds Restaurant is right on the Delaware River so I suggest you get a table by the window so you can enjoy the beautiful view.
