Best Restaurants for Foodies in Gloucester City

Overall great, quick service and delicious food! We did dine early, and I could see the kitchen slowly down during peak hours

I unfortunately think this place suffered from being overhyped. The ambience and service were fantastic. However the food did not blow us away. While there were some highlights including the raw bay scallops, the hash brown, and the “Caesar like salad”, most was forgettable. For the price tag and portion sizes, we left a bit disappointed. Overall, good little spot. Not rushing back though.

Amina is an absolute gem where every dish bursts with flavor and heritage, blending African and African American traditions into unforgettable creations. I’ve visited twice and it was incredible both times. The fried chicken is perfectly crispy and juicy, paired with honey-drizzled cornbread that melts in your mouth, while the collard greens and jollof rice deliver soulful, bold flavors. Starters like black-eyed pea fritters and oxtail stew are rich and deeply satisfying. Desserts are finger licking good with the spiced sweetness of the sweet potato pie and the indulgence of peach cobbler. At Amina, every bite is seasoned to perfection, making it a must-visit if you want love great food.

Boyfriend and I got the lamb brisket as a starter, and then the salmon for main course and Thai cucumber salad as a side. We split them all. I would probably not order the lamb again, but everything else was fantastic. Our server Francis was super kind. Great dinner and highly recommend!

Christmas Eve Seven Fishes dinner was truly spectacular! The newly remodeled restaurant is beautiful, and the ambience was warm and buzzing. Can’t forget the food — which was wonderful. Owner Ellen Yin was there circulating and helping out the staff, which really made the whole night special. Thank you Fork for helping make this year’s Christmas festivities memorable!
