Cantwell's Tavern Menu (Update 2025)
Introducing the menu at Cantwell's Tavern, a prime destination situated in the heart of historic Odessa, DE. This charming tavern, established in 1822, offers a delightful blend of comfort food and unique culinary creations. Patrons rave about the farm-to-table approach, highlighted by favorites like the Jammin’ Burger, artisanal buffalo mozzarella, and enticing crab stuffed mushrooms.
For a refreshing starter, you might enjoy the heirloom tomato salad or the crowd-pleasing hot crab dip. The menu beautifully balances classic comfort dishes like grilled cheese shooters and shrimp enchiladas with sophisticated entrees featuring fresh seasonal ingredients, such as blackened salmon and creamy macaroni and cheese.
With an inviting atmosphere enhanced by attentive service, Cantwell's Tavern is not just a meal; it's an experience that celebrates the rich flavors of local dining.
