Bricker’s Famous French Fries, Rehoboth Beach, Review, New Fries In Town, Delaware Beaches

In order to review them I had to taste them.  It is a requisite when you are deciding if the fries are crispy, therefore fried to perfection; not greasy either.  That’s what got me to Bricker’s. 

Bricker’s are the new French Fries in Rehoboth Beach.  They are joining my list of Boardwalk Grub. Their location is at 8 Rehoboth Avenue, practically on our famous Boardwalk.  Tel. 302-227-3470. 

Bricker’s is an institution in Pennsylvania.  The company originated in York in 1965.  The owner is Donald A. Bricker.  They also have catering available so give them a call to 717-792-4959.  If you really want to know their history, other locations, what they can offer, and what this company is all about, please check their website at www.brickersfries.com.

The Pennsylvanians visiting our beaches are thrilled to have these fries while they are on vacation.  Just like home.

I was curious.  I had seen something in a local paper.  So there I was today, after having a coffee with Jody.  I really had not planned it; but all of a sudden there I was.  The boardwalk was crowded, I almost could not find parking on the Avenue, which is the norm at this time of the year.

I cannot believe I did not get their names.  If they read this, I hope they realize how friendly they were when they were taking care of me and giving info. about our new fries in town.

These French fries are cut and fried to order.  What you get is a very satisfying fry.  Not greasy, at all.  The container in which they come is open, sturdy, and piled with fries. 

Bricker’s uses soy bean oil.  Not peanut oil like in most other places.  People with peanut allergies, please take notice.  You will not have to worry.

A condiment bar; the indispensables when you are eating fries are salt, vinegar and ketchup.  Yeap, they were all there too.

In the Rehoboth location pretty much what they serve is French Fries!!  There is a board with the different sizes, including cheese fries.  They also have available chicken fries, which are chicken tenders.

Another thing that is interesting is that people with a gluten allergy do not have to worry either.  The chicken tenders are fried in another oil, therefore, avoiding contamination with the fries.

It is going to be very hot in the next couple of days.  Two kinds of slurpies are available, besides the usual soft drinks.

I really enjoyed them.  I, actually did not feel too guilty….which is not a good thing…

Try them…they really are good.   Have a good one!!

Cake Break, Bakery, Rehoboth Beach, Gourmet Cupcakes, Gluten Free, Vegan, Peanut Free, And Good Morning to You Too Rehoboth Beach!!

It is dangerous out there, when you are out and about in Rehoboth Beach.  Plenty of temptations is what I meant to say.  Too many places to eat or just to grab something.  The Downtown Rehoboth eateries are so accessible that if you don’t exercise self control you might find yourself in trouble.

But, if that happened to be the case, then, walk the Boardwalk.  I believe that it is a mile each way.  There you have it, a perfect solution.

Stopped at Cake Break on Thursday, right after the GreenMan’s breakfast, with my friend Jody.  Some cupcakes needed to be ordered.  Cake Break is located at 7 South First St.  Tel. 302-260-9264.  Website?  www.cakebreak.com.  On Facebook, as well.

Just in time to see some beautiful baked goods coming out of their kitchen.

The sticky buns looked delicious.  Out of the oven they were warm, I am sure.  Thank God I was perfectly satified, having just had my tofu and the shot of wheat grass.

Then, the cinnamon buns appeared out of nowhere.  Nice and round with that cinnamon aroma that is so distinguishable.

I noticed the table on the side.  A little girl was with her mother.  She was so busy decorating her cupcake she hardly noticed me.  She had a heavy hand with the decoration.  She was so happy with her creation.  Off she went having started her day in the most satisfying way.

Cake Break has been open 7 days a week year round.  Debbie, her husband and staff are always hard at work.  Call them up and you can pick up your selections at curbside.

It is the only bakery in Downtown Rehoboth Beach that is a nut free facility.  Cake Break offers vegan cupcakes, gluten free cupcakes and vegan and gluten free icing, as well.

 P.S.  Cake Break makes one good cup of coffee.

Have a great day!!…Talk to you later…
