Buckley’s Tavern, Wilmington: Buckley Burger

Share

Some things never change, which means even at the latest—and best—iteration of the popular tavern, The Buckley Burger remains the most popular dish on the menu, says chef-owner Tom Hannum. Eight ounces of certified Angus beef are grilled to your liking, topped with good cheddar and applewood-smoked bacon, then served on a fresh brioche. Handcut fries finish the plate. Start with another favorite: Hannum’s mushroom soup, a purée of button mushrooms, portobellos, crimini and shiitakes in a vegetable stock with a touch of cream. Not too rich, not too light—just right. 5812 Kennett Pike, Wilmington, 656-9776, buckleystavern.com
