Helen's Sausage House: Legendary Hot Dogs & Comfort Food in Smyrna, DE

Helen's Sausage House is an absolute gem! I've visited twice, and both experiences were fantastic. Their pork chop was perfection and the double sausages? Unforgettable! The locals are incredibly friendly—something I rarely experience in NY—making the atmosphere even better. Service is top-notch, and despite the long lines (a testament to their amazing food), everything moves efficiently. Pro tip: Get there early! They close at noon, and the best selections go fast. Helen’s is worth every bite!

I am not from the East Coast. Actually, from the Chicago land area. One day, I saw Helen's on my way to Dover and on my way back. The Name Helen's Sausage House caught my eye. What really caught my eye was the part "Famous Sausage." I was inspired to make my way back to Helen's. I am glad I did. I could see and now taste why it's called Helen's Sausage House. Home Of Famous Sausages!!! I got there in time before the line got to long. Yes, the long line was outside after I finished my double sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich. The Elvis Memorabilia on the walls where I sat to eat was cool.

They have fantastic sausage there. Unfortunately I got there a little bit late and missed out on hot sausage, scrapple, and eggs. So if you want those items you need to order sooner in the day. Service is efficient and friendly and the food quality is great. I would love to come back and order more and hopefully get more of the items that I wanted to get.

Bacon Egg and Cheese Sausage Egg and Cheese Bologna Egg and Cheese Yes yes yes... This place was great. It's a corner pull off with a simple interior. Some beverage coolers and menus on the wall. It's a small operation but it's tight. The team in back knock out perfectly cooked eggs over and over, while the team in front take orders and load breakfast sausage, bacon, scrapple and other meats high, very high. American slices or cheese whiz blend with a soft roll for an amazing breakfast experience. Pork chops next time!

Fiancée and I came in for breakfast on 05/31/2025. Simple and quick, we both had the double sausage, egg, and cheese sandwiches. Service was quick but staff weren’t overly friendly. Food was hot and fresh! Not many tables inside for seating so consider taking your food to go. Definitely worth a stop and we will be back!

This place has counter service and there are tables you can sit at if you would like to eat there. I'm not sure if they serve you. I think you go to the counter, order what you want, and then go sit down or take it out. Staff is very friendly and always smiling. Keep in mind they don't chit-chat a lot, as that's how they keep the wait in line short for everyone. We have never waited for more than a few minutes even when the line is out the door.

A meal worthy of Ron Swanson. Get dangerously close to meat sweats with a double sausage, egg and American cheese or the scrapple and egg. Either will delight your mouth and sadden your cardiologist.

Tough to drive up Rt 1 and not stop. Always great service. Sausage & pepper sandwich is incredible.
