Kid Shelleen’s – Trolley Square, Wilmington, DE



Kid Shelleen’s is a local watering hole with a Western theme.  There is a deck on the side of the building, which is nice in the summer.  As you walk into the restaurant, you are immediately presented with the bar – large and taking up at least ¼ of the front room.  To the left, there are tables and booths for restaurant patrons.  Large screen TVs abound, showcasing various sporting events (of course).  There is also a back room that is a little better for dining – away from the TVs and rowdier patrons.

I went to Kid’s with my husband and some members of his family.  We ordered the Colby Cheddar-Jack Queso and Chips to start.  Unfortunately, the Queso was barely lukewarm when it arrived, but the taste was good.  It was topped with some sliced green onions and tomatoes, not spicy at all.  Very appropriate for people who do not like hot food or children.  The chips were standard tortilla chips – lightly salted.

Even though I am usually against ordering burgers at restaurants, I decided to go for the Black Bean Burger.  I ordered it without a roll, but with lettuce, tomato, and red onion.  It comes with roasted red peppers and Colby cheddar-jack cheese, but, unfortunately, they did not top mine with the roasted red peppers.  I ordered sweet potato fries as my side dish.  The burger was dry and tasted like a Boca burger.  I am not a fan of Boca’s products, so this was highly disappointing.  The cheese helped give it a little moisture, but I think that it would need a healthy dose of salsa (or roasted red peppers) to taste good. The sweet potato fries were OK, salted, sweet.  Pretty standard.

Kid’s has a friendly atmosphere and is good for a drink, but as for vegetarian fare, I’ll probably head elsewhere.
