Thompson Island Brewing Company

I’ve seen the commercials and wondered how good Thompson Island would be. And today, I found out and it was good. It was very good. The restaurant space is very well designed and is open yet is private, especially in the booths. If you get confused by all the different beers these days, go with No Bad Days. Excellent beer with great taste and not fruity. Reminded me of beers made years ago. I can highly recommend the spicy chicken sandwich. The chicken was superb and a little tangy which was perfect. Our server was Emma and she made the experience very nice. I look forward to going back soon!

No complaints at all. Very balanced menu with many offerings, which in some cases can lead to inconsistency, however in this case each dish was well executed and delicious. The caesar deviled eggs were fantastic and a very generous portion. Fried chicken platter was excellent, and the salmon was outstanding. Also, I love the fact that they offer salmon on the kids menu, which my son devoured. The service was excellent and prompt. My father sat in a position in full view of the kitchen and was amazed at the incredibly efficient system allowing staff to handle a packed dining room during peak season, as well as cranking out numerous carry out orders. We come to the Delaware shore once a year and will definitely be making Thompson Island a routine stop on our family vacation.

The TIBC is such an upscale location I felt my shorts and t-shirt made me feel underdressed like I was doing the restaurant a disservice but the staff made my wife and I feel welcome right from the start. Such a beautiful location you can tell they care about their appearance which is nice to see. The food was upscale feeling as well. I asked for recommendations and was not disappointed in the Salmon. My wife is more picky and ordered grilled chicken and some fries. I will say the grilled chicken tasted like pickles as if it was marinated in pickle juice which she wasn't a fan of but ate it anyways. I tried a piece or two and it definitely tasted like pickles. The beer was really good. I ordered a fruited beer and it went perfectly with my meal. My wife ordered a raspberry lemon vodka cocktail and it was extremely refreshing. The service was a little slow but overall was friendly and a good experience. I would come back for sure.
