For planners pinching pennies, it’s worth considering group outings for a meal function in Delaware, where there is no sales tax. Throughout the state, numerous group-friendly eateries are available for attendees to break bread away from the host meeting site.
Greater Wilmington’s BBC Tavern & Grill (302.655.3785; www.bbctavernandgrill.com), located in Greenville, is a popular choice for group events that call for a friendly atmosphere and a farm-to-table menu consisting entirely of produce, meats and cheeses that have been locally sourced from farms residing no more than 100 miles from the restaurant. Popular dishes here range from meatloaf to crab cakes.
“Inside is all-natural wood with a large mahogany bar and two fireplaces,” says Owner David M. Dietz. “The food is award-winning yet casual.”
