    Iced Salted Caramel Toffee Late
    Julian W.

    A solid choice for locals and tourists alike. They have a good selection of sandwiches and entree options for both breakfast and lunch/dinner. Seating is available inside and outside (Lewes) with the Georgetown location offering a view of the airfield. Service is usually good and the wait isn't too bad even on busy days. Definitely recommend the fish and chips as it's my favorite place for it.

    Half BLT sandwich and Cesar salad
    Gary S.

    We arrived at Arena's restaurant around noon and were greeted immediately. There was plenty of seats available outside so that is where we went. Our waitress, Kat, arrived shortly after we sat down to ask if we needed any drinks. I had a Bloody Mary and it was great! Kat returned shortly and was very knowledgeable of the menu. We ordered our food and it came out to us quickly. The food was wonderful. I had a half BLT and wow, that's a lot of bacon, wonderful! The sandwiches and salads were excellent. I recommend this restaurant.

    Monterey Jack grilled chicken wrap with tots.

    The food is excellent and reasonably priced for the large portions you get. Everyone is always kind, pie sever Dayne was personable and helpful. The ambiance is nice as you can sit inside, or outside on a nice day. My wife and I like going for breakfast or lunch. Great crushes too! I had a really good grilled chicken wrap, the local hot sauce from The Delaware Sauce company is a nice touch too, with loads of flavor. Keep up the great work Arena's of Lewes! 5 stars all day. :)

    Such a cute little place. Service was quick, even though there was not an empty table. Food tasted great. I had a make your own sandwich with egg, bacon and cheddar with a side of tots while my fiancée had two eggs. Seems to be a local place as well, as almost everyone seemed to know each other. If I lived closer, I would be here more often. Would love to come back on a Friday or Saturday night or even a weekday for happy hour.

    The so called "cream of crab" soup

    I've alway been a huge fan of Arenas. I frequently go to the location in Milford but today I made a mistake. Today was my first time trying out the Lewes location and it was absolutely awful. The waitress we had was extremely rude to my family and I. I believe her name was Kitt. I am not a fan of Kitt. It took far longer than it should have to prepare 6 sandwiches. We were the only customers in the restaurant the entire time so I really don't know what the hold up was. I currently work as a chef and have been a server in the past. I am so disappointed. In the food quality and service. I ordered the "soup of the day" which was cream of crab. It looks like chicken gravy, it tastes like chicken gravy. It just happened to have a few scraps of crab meat. Wow just wow. So disappointed. 10/10 do not recommend.

    Popeye omlette, with fresh spinach. Mmmm!

    Good Happy Hour food specials. Other specials most days starting at 5PM. Good service and prices. The Lewes location is small.

We arrived around 11:30 and got seated immediately and there were a few open tables still left so a good time to go. I would say the greeter was not super friendly and it took a good 10 plus minutes for someone to come to the table. A waitress that noticed that we had not been helped for awhile caught my eye as I was looking for our server stopped by and took our drink order and apologized for the wait and shared that most servers were just coming on duty. So that was the only negatives I have for our lunch. The restaurant is not super large but it is very cute. Has a lot of cute decorations and a good feel, although I am not a big fan of plastic over the seat coverings but I understand it makes it easier to keep it clean. I ordered a western omelette (don't forget to tell them to add cheese or you don't get any) and potatoes and a biscuit. Also had a glass of the fresh squeezed OJ and it was perfect. The food was excellent and the portion size was good, my only comment was that the biscuit could have been a bit more cooked but the taste was divine. My husband had the reuben and fries and his was very good also. The cost was a little over $50 so not somewhere I would go daily for breakfast but it is located in the tourist area so to be expected. I would recommend a visit for a great meal and I am looking forward to going again and trying some pancakes or French toast. Enjoy!

    A Solid Bagel Stop in Lewes…read more I've eaten at Surf Bagel before, so on the way home from a recent business trip I decided to stop again and grab breakfast to go. I ordered a sesame bagel with egg, cheese, and scrapple, along with a hash brown. The bagel was nicely toasted and very fresh, which is really what you hope for when you're stopping at a place that specializes in bagels. The sandwich itself was simple but very satisfying. Nothing over the top or crazy fancy, just a well made breakfast sandwich that hit the spot. The service was friendly and quick, and the place itself has a unique feel to it. Inside they sell quite a bit of Surf Bagel merchandise, which gives it a fun local vibe beyond just being a bagel counter. I included a few photos because the shop has a cool look to it. I stopped in around 9 in the morning and it was still pretty busy, even during the off season. That tells me this place probably gets packed during the summer months. Overall, everything was fresh, the staff was nice, and it's definitely a place I'd stop at again when I'm in the area.

Took a walk and looked at the food available on the buffet and it's a deal if you can eat!! Lots of terrific options. We sat at bar and ordered from menu as didn't want buffet (too much food). Ordered a burger - the best! So tasty and delicious. Fries good too. Also had the Carolina Cuban with no bun and Wowzer! Super tasty. Service was great. Very friendly and kept checking on us. This is a BBQ joint vibe that is quite elevated. Great decor. Will always stop here as it's such a great place. Reasonable prices for the quality and quantity. They do have live music and other events. They also have a smaller location in downtown Rehoboth, as well as bigger one in downtown Lewes.

The food here is remarkably good at a reasonable price. It is not quite southern barbecue, but the food is tasty and enjoyable. Some of their dishes are quite creative, like their mac n cheese skillet with kielbasa and pulled pork. In my opinion, barbecue restaurants should have a room in the back for naps, because that is what you will be doing after you eat here. It does get a bit loud here with the live entertainment, and parking can be hard to find on weekends, but that is understood. Better than an empty lot and walking out on an empty stomach.

Things I liked: - their ample selection of breakfast burritos and ready-to-eat food like protein bars and pastries. I got their vegan breakfast burrito (the Happy Cow) which was basically a tofu scramble in a burrito. It was good and satiating! - my cappuccino with oat milk was good. I don't know why they offer three different sizes for cappuccinos though. Areas for improvement: - I really felt bad for their staff because of how crazy it was. They had enough people working (although another person on the register would be nice) but having paper tickets is a little archaic and slow. - They heavily promote mobile ordering, but as other reviewers have noted, mobile orders are in a totally different queue. I would've placed my order online but the wait time was two or three hours! They don't let you set a pickup time, so it seemed wildly unpredictable. - why is the menu SO long? You don't need to make everyone happy! It's a cute spot and, were it not so packed, I would've spent time there. There's plenty of seating for larger groups.
