Riverfront Market

Best fresh cut fruit stand with great prices! Includes mango oranges grapes pineapple strawberries honeydew and other melons. Yum!

Love this place. Must stop in! I’ve tried food from all the different vendors here. From the seafood, to the Mexican place, to the pizzeria, to the Thai food, coffee shop, cheesteak place, and best of all The water street deli!! Must try the Panninis here. Especially the Garden Griller … This place is great. It has a great variety of choices and all are locally owned and very delicious. The staff is very friendly as well. Highly recommend and love this place !

Great variety of vendors. Sushi, deli, pizza, Mexican, cheesesteaks… All the good stuff. The only bad part is seating. If you go around noon, chances are you wont get a table to eat your meal which is really frustrating and inconvenient.

DO NOT VISIT THE WATER STREET DELI! I like my sandwich plain so I ordered turkey bacon and lettuce. Simple right? Apparently not. They put mayo and dressing on it and when I took it back the cook YELLED AT ME for «not reading the menu». What?! I didn’t order anything on the menu and who yells at their customers? Never going there again.

Housed in an bright and well kept open warehouse style building, to categorize this as a ‘produce market’ is really wrong. This is only slightly more of a produce market than «Boston Market.» Mainly it is a food court. A high quality, locally owned, non-​chain outlet food court, but still a food court — with a small market for fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and snacks. All the food looks great, pizza, Thai, deli, breakfast, all looks good and smells wonderful.

Styrofoam? Really? Didn’t anyone here get the memo on climate change. When this place opened it seemed like it would be a haven for those who care about food… and good ingredients. It may still rank high for Wilmington, but I’d say, travelers beware. If you’re coming in from the train station theres no better bet, just keep your expectations low. Harry’s next door has good fish and decent wine/​bar selection. A much better bet I you have the time and $$$

It’s right next to Harry’s Seafood in downtown Wilmington (near the train station). They have a variety of different stands. I came here for lunch and got something from the delii ($ 7 even for a sandwich, chips, and drink). They have places to sit too if you want to eat your lunch there.
They have fruit smoothies, cheesesteaks, seafood (sandwiches from Harry’s seafood), deli sandwiches, chicken burritos, salads, and sushi. They have other snacks too like chips, fruit, etc.
Great place to come by and get lunch esp if you’re sick of the other downtown places in Wilmington considering there aren’t many restaurants.
Update: Monday Specials: $ 3 burgers at the Harry’s stand inside

What a cute little place! Located in downtown Wilmington DE, the Riverfront Market is right in the middle of everything along the Delaware River. They have tons of free parking outside and several little tables under an awning. This place is somewhat like a food court– it’s got about 8 – 10 little restaurants and food stands inside of it with plenty of seating around the building (great for large groups!).
My friends got the Tokyo Sushi which looked tasty & was moderately priced. I got a cheesesteak, fries & a drink, which was like $ 11. The cheesesteak was really good– I was impressed! They also have a little produce market in the middle of the building that offers fresh fruit, veggies, fruit bowls, homemade salsa/​guacamole/​chicken salad. They had Thai and Pizza too, and we got a piece of cheesecake from a little deli that makes tasty desserts.
All in all, I’m a big fan of this place… I’d like to see more varieties go in here & maybe build on & add more shops :)

This place is a nice place to spend some time with friends. But the food is not good. The Thai place was GROSS. It wasn’t even Thai. It was more like bad chinese food. The only YUMMY place is the Pizza Place inside. The Pizza is fresh and really flavorful. They have good lunch specials there. The Farmers Market inside does carry some yummy items from different parts of Asia. But it is pricey compared to other Asian markets I have been to. They have this Bakery inside that has some pretty looking cakes. But I have not tried them yet. So if anyone tries them, please let me know! I would like to know since the place is walking distance from my place.
Overall, you are not missing out on too much… expect the Pizza maybe.
Restrooms– There are restrooms upstairs and some downstairs that is shared with the general public. They are hit and miss in cleanliness.
Parking– Parking lot.
Cost: Pricey, The only place that is worth every dine is the Pizza Place. Most places on take cash.
Ambiance– Casual but you will see many people in bussiness attire because of the many banking companies around the place. Crowded. Loud. Not a great place for a date, but a good place to meet up with work buddies.
Suggestions: This is a good place to take kids to learn about diverse foods. I take students to the farmers market inside and ask them to ID the fruits and where they come from. The owner of that place was really nice about it and didnt mind us hanging out there for a while and just IDing food.

Many people like to go here for lunch as this is the only food court for the thousands who work around this market. You would think that there would be some decent places to eat in here, but no.
Several burger joints, a pizza place and fresh fruit places: all are over priced junk that you may end up paying cash for.

Surprised a lot of people still do not know or find a reason not to try this market, but its a really great find. A convenient place to have informal group lunches since they have a variety of eating options all in one place with seating on both the first and second floors. I can come here everyday and have something different. Food options range from Tokyo Sushi, Jeenwong’s Thai Cuisine, BellaVista Trattoria pizza, cheese steaks and breakfast sandwiches from Cheese Steak Factory, salads from the Riverfront Produce stand, cold cut sandwiches from Water Street Deli, and fish and chips from Harry’s Fish Market. Honestly, if you cant find something to eat here you must be extremely picky.
Parking can sometimes be a problem, but I used to be able to walk from work so that wasnt a problem for me at the time. They have an overflow lot across the street which is an option when its packed.
They are basically a breakfast and lunch only place, but most vendors are there afterwards prep/​cleaning so if you want dinner call ahead and place your order to pick up before they leave.

Great options for lunch and ability to pick up stuff for dinner. Yay! PLus free wifi. cant beat it

One of Delaware okay hangout spots to have a little romantic walk or a family outing

Riverfront Market is my go-​to whenever I’m waiting for a Greyhound bus. It’s only a few blocks away from the Greyhound and Amtrak stations, and it’s filled with different vendors. I love the scenic walk, right next to the river~ Don’t spend $ 7 for that pathetic excuse for a chicken salad sandwich at the Amtrak Café, but spend that money on homemade chowder or sushi~ Seating is plentiful!

This is along the river and has a good selection of vendors. It’s a short walk from work so very convienient and picturesque. I’ve tried a few sandwiches from a few of the vendors and haven’t been disappointed. The cheese steak sandwich is great…

What’s not to love about this place? From sushi, to carrot cake – you can find just about everything in this little spot – that is often overlooked. You should check it out! You won’t be sorry!

This place is GREAT for lunch. Thai, Cheesesteaks, fresh veggies, deli, sushi.
We had very tasty (and spicy) Thai from Jeenwong yesterday. Nice!
Can’t wait to return.

After working a few blocks away from the Riverfront Market for 3 months. I finally figured out that it existed. Thanks to a co-​worker.
Well… It’s obviously convenient to the many workplaces in downtown Wilmington, but it also offers a lot of CHEAP tasty treats! There’s sushi, cheesesteaks, a bakery, fresh fruits/​vegetables, thai food and an amish deli. to name a few.
The first spot I tried was the Amish deli for a quick grab and go sandwich. It was DELICIOUS and huge for a great price of $ 6 (including a can of soda and a bag of chips!). It’s like. miniature Reading Terminal Market! There’s a bunch of indoor seating on two levels and it’s cozy and relaxed inside. It will surely be my go to lunch spot once it’s a little warmer outside and the walk isn’t as frigid. Anyone who spends time in Wilmington should support this place. It’s a great step in the revitalization that Wilmington so desperately needs.

Great place for lunch during a downtown workday in Wilmington. The market contains a small flourist, a sushi café and several other booths for hot food; from steak sandwiches to awesome salads. Need a postcard from glamorous Wilmington, DE? You’ll find one here.
Seating can be slightly challenging during a busy lunch hour but eases quickly.
Also a great stop if you want lunch and need to pick up some fresh chicken or beef for dinner or a few fresh vegetables. Riverfront Market has a little of everything and I hope it begins to expand soon to offer even more.

While the Riverfront Market can’t compare with Philly’s Reading Terminal Market, it’s pretty darn good for a city of Wilmington’s size.
The Riverfront Market is a great example of adaptive reuse. The restored warehouse building serves as a great setting for a marketplace. Inside you can find a variety of vendors ranging from Japanese and Thai food to fresh produce and a bake shop.
The market bustles during the weekday lunch rush, attracting patrons from the various financial institutions located nearby. Outside of these hours it has a much more relaxed feel. Many people grab food to go and scurry back to their offices, but seating is available throughout the building as well as outside.
When it comes to urban revitalization in Wilmington, much work remains to be done. The Riverfront Market is an example of something done right.
