28. Gus & Gus Place, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware
Often cited as a must-visit spot in Rehoboth Beach, especially for those looking to experience a bit of local history and charm, Gus & Gus Place oozes seaside nostalgia. Founded in 1958 by Constantine ‘Gus’ Svolis, the no-frills spot has barely changed in over 60 years and has a dedicated following among Delaware’s beachgoers thanks to its sensational cheesesteaks, burgers, gyros, and fried chicken. Founder Gus sadly passed away in 2020, but his family still owns the much-loved joint.
27. Browne's Irish Market & Deli, Kansas City, Missouri
Serving the Kansas City community since 1887, Browne’s Irish Marketplace holds the distinction of being the oldest Irish-owned business in North America. It was originally founded by Ed and Mary Flavin, both immigrants from County Kerry, Ireland, and has been in the same location since 1901. These days the shop is owned and run by the fourth generation of the Flavin family and has become renowned for its Celtic trinkets and imported Irish delicacies. But what really draws the crowds is its hefty takeaway sandwiches, filled with melt-in-the-mouth Irish corned beef, Irish Cheddar, and the shop’s signature egg salad.
