Helen's sausage house is legendary and has been around for many years. Sausage served on a bun. Beware cash only

Helen and her sausage reallyyy caught me by suprize. My nephew said this woman had huge sausages and I didn't believe him, well slapp my cheek and call me a biscuit. I'll be damned if we didn't grab a booth and Helen pulled out two huge girthy steamers. Where did she get them? I couldn't tell.

One of a kind place. You can tell the food is good by the long lines. Hunters frequent this place. Recommend the sausage sandwich or the bacon egg and cheese.

Best breakfast sandwiches on the east coast, the secret is freshly made sausage less then a mile from the restaurant. Enjoy!

This is it. Our new *regular* brunch stop on the way to the beach. It's been hiding here in plain sight all this time. Very easy to miss on the way by, it's just a little white shack on the side of the road with some cheesy hand-painted signs on it, maybe reminiscent of an old time gas station, which it very well may have been 50 years ago. A line of locals, likely on their way to work, wrapped out into the parking lot early on this October morning. I understand this is a daily occurrence here. Nothing glamorous inside, from the old wood paneling to the Elvis memorabilia - lived-in, but cared for. Practical. There was a small dining room in the back. Their system is rustic, but highly streamlined. Our line moved so fast and orders were handled so efficiently by two elderly ladies behind the counter, we barely had time to figure out the customary local term for the *regular* breakfast order- "a double with egg and cheese." Wanting to keep moving, we took our brown paper bag to the car. Kind of sloppy, so I don't necessarily recommend doing this. You'll find TWO *big* links on a fresh but fairly small sub roll filled with an egg over-easy and melted cheddar. They were reddish in color, with lightly charred ends - I suppose I would say they were in the style of Knackwurst, with their crisp casings (apparently you can buy them by the case as well). And for six dollars, I would have still considered it a generous portion with only one per sandwich. I can't speak for the other items on the menu, such as the burgers and pork chop platter, but from pictures, comments and intuition, I'd bet they're right up there with the remarkable sausage. Ask me next year. This is guaranteed to beat any reheated old breakfast sandwich you'll find on the road from home to OC. Plus you won't have to eat again 'til dinner!

Ok so like wow that was super legit on sooooo many levels with each tasty bite your totally going to be left wanting more even though your full and already had what was totally scrumptious in soo many ways! So in the middle Delaware you find a totally random Sausage House that has pretty much one of the best breakfast sausages you've ever had as they are totally doing it right so much so that you can tell it's very well known to the locals as wile you chill in your car and enjoy you see them keep coming and coming to get done before they sell out for the day! So let's break it down as it's just a sausage sandwich but then again it's not as it's packed with flavor the sausage has a very good flavor to it that's enjoyable to the end with a snap of the skin with each tasty bite that seems to be better than the last one as this time you managed to get some of the egg with it that seems to hide under the two good sized delicious sausage links inside that wonderful roll that just makes the whole sausage sandwich just right tell the end! Like really this simple delicious breakfast was beyond good so much so that if your in the area you must stop so Yelp Family do yourself a favor and add them to your bookmarks because they are doing it right in soo many ways! Overall I don't really know when I'll be making it back to Delaware again but when and if I do I totally know where to get a delicious food sized and priced breakfast that's really hard to beat! With that said I totally hope to make it back here again at some point as that sausage speaks for itself in both flavor and did i say deliciousness?
