Our group of 6 had such a positive experience at Arena's because our server was SO sweet- the service was so quick, and the food was so delicious. Would definitely recommend. read more

Arena's Deli - Inside seating area - Bars Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

Good food at a reasonable price. Unfortunately after at least the fourth incidence of rudeness and inappropriate behavior from their regular server, my friends and I can never go back after averaging eating there twice a week during the summer. The first time we walked in to a big sign at the entrance that said please seat yourself. The server came over, rudely leaned over the table and said we must follow her to a table of her choosing. Today, a polite employee greeted us and told us we could sit at any one of the three open seats. This same server came over and rudely told us we had to get up and go the hostess desk, even after we explained that we were invited to sit down. If you ask this server for no onions or peppers on a menu item, you are given a flippant remark as if the request really bothered her. A server this controlling and rude doesn't seem like a good fit for a casual beach restaurant. read more

Their tuna is gross. It's just mayo and tuna. Lazy excuse for a deli. Would not recommend

Walking to Frank and Louie's and we're disappointed that it was a 2 hour wait for a sub. We decided to try Arenas and we are so glad we did. The sandwiches were really good, I'm glad we came in. We had the Ruben, kids turkey, turkey club and the Duncan. We would recommend them all. The environment is fine, it's a bar atmosphere. The table could have been cleaned better and the server could have been more personable and attentive but all in all it was pretty good. We'd come back! read more

Awesome experience with their signature Arena burger, the loaded tots and their iced tea (Arnold Palmer). Our server Amanda was attentive and engaging! Don't forget to ask about their mimosas! We got there well before the Super Bowl started and folks were starting to arrive just as we were leaving. The vibe is nice with enough monitors going to satisfy any sports taste for any event of the day. I shall return and you should too! read more

Beautiful day for Al Fresco. Wait staff was working alone and covering several tables. Super fast service and lots of care. But no chit chat cause she was busy. Spouse had the shrimp taco and said it was delicious, I had the Rubin's Rubin and had to take half the Rubin home( and the huge pickled cucumber ) it was as good as any Jewish deli I've ever been to, so many fries ( the fries were crispy, hot and fluffy on the inside, so perfect ) and a couple of huge unsweetened ice teas. If it wasn't so early I might have partaken of the extensive beer menu. As it was $41 and a 20% tip was an acceptable price for the food at the beach. Worthy of a revisit. read more

It used to be the place we came to.eat at least once on every visit we had here because the food and service was amazing.i just returned, I was very excited to have my Ruben's Ruben sandwich which used to be thick and juicy. The cornbread was dry, preferred and very salty. The sandwich hardly had any coleslaw or croutons in it. The server was very slow and not too communicative but sweet. She didn't pick up the menue and the empty beer cans unless I asked politely. I used to get the beach vibe, very friendly easy going attitude. I don't understand what happened. Can you guys go back in time and be my favorite place to eat at with sipping my cold beer? read more

Ended up going here two separate times yesterday we enjoyed it so much. Initially we just stopped in for happy hour in their outdoor seating with our dogs. Service was both excellent and very friendly. Had so much fun and the menu looked so good, that we took the dogs home and then came back to dine inside for dinner. For dinner we sat at the bar and enjoyed their nachos and a couple sandwiches. The nachos were good, not the best I gave ever had, but they were generous, had lots of flavor, and were only ~$10 during happy hour. My wife got the turkey Ruben and I got the buffalo chicken cheese steak. Both sandwiches were VERY good. Wish we had thought to come on a Wed and they would have been half price. Even at full price though, the portions were solid and the prices reasonable. All in all, one of the better value meal we have had on our trip. Finally, one of the biggest appeals of this place were how low key it was. Not too loud, not too crowded. Ended up having a couple nice conversations with other people sitting at the bar. Will 100% be back here next time we are in the area. read more

We waltzed in here for a quick snack in that weird time between lunch and dinner. We ended up getting a lot more than we bargained for! We ordered waaaay too much food which ended up being a substantial dinner for most of us. I especially enjoyed the loaded tots served with lot of cheese, jalapenos, and chopped bacon. The server was friendly and efficient. The waters were ice cold and huge too. The patio is in a quaint alleyway in town right across from a cool record shop which I recommend checking out too. I didn't explore much of the menu but from what I saw, I have no complaints! read more

Another good meal at Arenas! We walked up on Friday during a very short break between rainstorms, and found almost no one on Arena's deck - that never happens. We took outdoor covered seats and ordered our meals. I went w the grouper Rueben and my bf went w the fish and chips. Service was fast and the meals were good. A band started indoors while we ate and they sounded great. It was good people watching too as people walked by w their umbrellas. We were in and out in under an hour which was our goal. read more

staff was unfriendly and unorganized. food was not good very disappointed. worst part was they served us expired ketchup that tasted so bad

Great sandwiches, excellent beers, nice draft list, fun waitstaff, live music at night. Check their specials! Sometimes the sandwiches are glorious, sometimes just good. If you are looking for veggies, they do have sandwiches for you. I really enjoy the hummus platter. It's loaded with veggies (celery, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, salad greens, and olives) as well as pretty tasty hummus and pita. Worth sharing. My favorite sandwich is probably the California Club Dude. They are on Untapped for the beer lover. read more

Friendly service and delicious Greek salad, but the California club and overly salty Maryland crab soup were pretty average & overpriced. I'll be back for the salad, but wish there were more reasons to return. read more

We went three separate times. 1st time for lunch (carry-out) - the reuben and the chicken and dumpling soup were really good 2nd time for dinner - husband said he liked his market salad. I had the crab cake platter, which wasn't much of a platter, the crab cake was mid, and I left unsatisfied 3rd time for lunch another day (carry-out) - turkey sandwich was good for what it was, since it's kind of hard to mess up a turkey sandwich. My husband said that the amount of creole seasoning on his cheesesteak made it inedible, so we ended up splitting my sandwich. Besides the creole seasoning issue, the main problem was lack of value. $10 for soup! Locals said to order it, so we did, without knowing the price. $17 for a turkey and avocado sandwich! And it only comes with a bag of chips. So overpriced! The online menu apparently has outdated prices - which is what I was told when I asked about the price being higher than what I saw online. Would I go again? Yes - most of the food was pretty good, despite being overpriced, I know what not to order, there was a lot of variety, and it was convenient to where we usually stay. read more

My partner and I went for happy hour on a Saturday. We were some of the only people there and service was slow since they were switching shifts. They have a sign about happy hour but no specific menu. We asked and the bartender told us a couple of average beer specials (and did not mention that appetizers were half off). My parents have been several times and love the nachos but say "it depends who's in the kitchen". I will let the photo I took speak for itself. read more

We come to Arena's every year for late night snacks! The food never disappoints! This year we visited twice to order some food and apps! The loaded nachos is always a must... garden veggies, fresh guacamole, salsa, and lots of toppings! It it a huge portion that can easily be shared with others! We also got the loaded tator tots which is also highly recommended. The specialty slushy drinks were a hit this year, very yummy! ! Service was so so, waitress had a bad attitude and made some snide comment about a neighboring tables tip. That brought our tip down some as she also rarely checked on our table of 8. Overall, free music, good apps, and a nice environment! read more

I should start off by saying we didn't eat any food here so I cannot comment in that. But we did go to the bar specifically for drinks and we had a blast! The bartender - Anthony was so much fun. He was able to listen to our preferred tastes and suggest drinks accordingly. Including his "purple drank" that was not only absolutely delicious but also made sure that I stumbled rather than walked out of the building. Beer prices were great and they have an excellent happy hour from 3 to 6pm. read more

This was my first time here. Many of the downtown restaurants were closed due to COVID and/or pre-season. The restaurant is located down a side street off the main street. We did not have a reservation. Outside was not immediately available, therefore, we opted for inside lunch. All service members wore masks inside and outside. I started with my Guinness on draft for $5, which I enjoyed twice. House chardonnay was also $5. I wanted a half ruben sandwich with crab soup, but, it was not on their menu. Therefore I ordered the bowl of crab soup and half big daddy sandwich for $11.99. The big daddy was prepared similar to a ruben. A full ruben sandwich is also $11.99 less the soup. The sandwiches here are a nice size. Lunch prices here are very reasonable. My total bill was $44 less taxes and gratuities. Mask wearing Scott Y. accommodated our table needs nicely. I will definitely return here again for lunch such as another soup and sandwich. read more

Loved! We had one of the best servers we've ever had the pleasure of meeting here. We ordered kids meals and two appetizers for lunch which was overflowing with food. Atmosphere was reminiscent of a smashingly good college bar complete with elder millennial music which is always a plus. Highly recommended! Oh.. and get the chicken on your nachos blackened.. omg.. sooo good! read more

After a long day on the beach, Arena's deli had everything we wanted. Our Reuben and burger were stacked to the brim. Our fries were hot and crispy and our pickles delectably tart. The cherry on top was the live music. I have never been on the edge of my seat waiting to hear the next song. The talented duo were covering a wide range of songs but added their own unique spin, almost making their song their own. It made our meals so lovely. read more

I like the nice staff, selections and freshness. Arena's locations are all (rare lately) plusses for the area.

What a treat! Perfect breezy day. Outdoor patio. Social distancing. Hostess & server wearing masks. Extensive menu & so many great choices. What to do! As a vegetarian I was thrilled to see so many options. Fiancé ordered the Rueben & I snarfed down the Famous Granny Smith sandwich. Great bread, cheddar cheese & substituted cilantro mayo for regular mayo. Very affordable. Easy to see why they are so popular. Remember to tip well. It has been a very challenging time for restaurants & servers. We had great service too. read more

This is one of our favorite places to go! The service is prompt and food good! Was surprised when saw we were charged for fries with our sandwiches as serve presented as an either or option and not that the fries were an additional charge. Would have appreciated that information so I could have made the choice. read more

Took forever to get the food. The rockfish and chips was fishy and seemed to be frozen and not fresh. The crab cake was flavorless. Find another place to go. read more

Service is good. I ordered the BLT (Jan 2023) and fries and a carbonated water for lunch. It was "pretty" good but WOW!... The Bill was $22.50 with a 20% tip. This is where prices have come. I may be going out less. read more

Arenas renovated - which I guess makes it more of a family restaurant and doesn't have that sports bar feel that it used to have. I'm sure some people love it, but it feels like a new pair of pants, slightly restrictive, but with a few wearings should feel comfortable. Thursday night, Mexican night. That's the best night. $4 margaritas and huge nachos for only $7. read more

Arena's Deli, Rehoboth beach, DE. You know I love half-price sandwiches Wednesday. The roll was yummy. The meat had a great texture and was very tasty. There were a lot of mushrooms.

Fantastic spot in Rehoboth! Nice bar and great food with friendly service! The Rockfish Ruben is amazing!

Nachos were good, but I was here for an hour with my family and they got their food but when we got our check I was told they forgot to make my food... Anyways the service was nice and the interior was good read more

Struggling at a 3 for this place. We sat down outside and ordered our drinks. Our waitress was quick then long time before we saw her. She was very friendly but think she had more tables inside to attend to. It took 23 mins to get out deli sandwiches and tots. Quite a bit of time. The tots were very good but the rest below meh. So I would say just pick a better place cause our sandwiches were nothing special. My roll was too thick and when I went to take a bite, the whole thing just collapsed. No Italian seasoning but lots of balsamic vinegar. I did get the jalapeños but they weren't even spicy. The honey mustard was surprisingly good with my tots but really that's about the best I can say. Bloody Mary was good but watery. The corned beef was good but still plain jane. What a great location to come up short on the stack. I definitely won't go back but for those that are looking for a good deli, pass on this one. read more
