Our server, Tai, did her best to accommodate us and everyone in her section during this extremely busy mealtime during the annual Rehoboth Jazz Festival. My crab cake sandwich was delicious, with very little filler. I'd say Big Fish is a must-try for a fresh coastal seafood experience. Make sure you have reservations. read more

Big Fish Grill is a DelMarVa beach staple. This is a great spot if you're looking for a relaxed seafood meal for the whole family. Big Fish does take limited reservations, but if you're going without -- at peak hours -- during peak season -- be prepared to wait! I love coming here for a big lunch on a weekday when the scene is much quieter. The quality of the food is excellent. However, the portions can be mercurial. I know that not every swordfish steak or scallop is the same size, but sometimes I'm stuffed and other times I'm left a little hungry. But I'm never disappointed by the peanut butter pie! Make sure to save room and plan to share with your fellow diners because this slice of pie packs a punch! Ambiance is casual with paper on the tables where the servers write their names and large marine life models hanging from the ceilings and walls. Service could be a bit more attentive on the multiple times I've been there -- I've frequently been left needing a refill on my water or cola -- especially after a dehydrating day at the beach. read more

We ate here after looking around for something close and the food looked good in the pictures on Yelp. When we got there, we had about a 35-40 minute wait. They texted us and the text provided a wait list showing what place we were in the queue, and much was pretty nice. For the appetizer, we got the Crab Spinach Dip, which was odd in and of itself because the menu says it has artichokes but doesn't mention spinach. It came with chips and was very tasty. I must admit I was a little disappointed in the portion. The bowl of dip was not full and while the chips did cover the amount of dip, it wasn't very much. For dinner, I got the Fish & Chips, Fries and Cole Slaw. It wasn't bad. Not the best I've ever had, but not bad. I'd probably try something else next time. My wife got the Crab Imperial, which was very good. She also got a Bloody Mary to go with her meal. My son got the Big Shrimp with Saffron rice and broccoli, which was very good. Our friend got the Big Chicken with what looked like pureed Yams. He thought it was decent. The highlight was the dessert, which was the Double Chocolate Cake and a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream. We really enjoyed it. Our wait staff did a decent job as well. We will definitely be back. read more

I was hungry on a windy Thursday in late September and walked over to Big Fish Grille. I was immediately seated and a short time later waited upon by Shelby who was helpful. I chose the grilled chicken with Greek salad which was quite good. Other than a beverage, I ordered no appetizer or dessert, but did ingest all of their crab dip and 10 saltines. No complaints. Good food! read more

Great spot for seafood lovers and families with small kids. Super casual with a lot of menu options. Food and service was pretty average, nothing fancy to write home about, but good. I think the family friendly aspect is a huge draw to the restaurant. We had a nice time! read more

They take reservations now!! What a BIG difference! Bid Fish is always reliable and consistent. We enjoy the smoked trout dip which is complimentary. The wedge salad is where we first tried it and few others compare to it! It's a must try and can be shared with 2 or more people. They have daily specials, sushi and traditional diah dishes. The Neva's potatoes are a must have! Delish! The servers were attentive and runners bring the food so it's always nice and hot. The decor is fun and updated. Big Fish is a must is you are traveling or staying near Rehoboth! read more

My husband and I have always gone to this spot in the past previous years. We deicded to do takeout and it was a worst mistake. We both took out our order out of the bag and we were like where is our food ? We both got the broiled combo and we substitute out the scallops to the shrimp. I went back inside and spoken to the manager and she advised me that since we substitute out the scallops we only get a second shrimp. Overall the fish of the day was very delicious but I would hold off on the takeout and just eat in I feel like you get more food. What a disappointment read more

We ordered take out on the advice of friends we are staying with, and the food was fine, but woefully insufficient for four people. They gave us six asparagus spears in the side order of asparagus... six. The seafood fried sampler whatever would sounded like they're a big thing. It cost 50 bucks with fried oysters about four fried shrimp and a few fried scallops fit in one clam shell holder. If I'm gonna pay well over 70 bucks for a meal with three dishes in it, I expect that four people should be able to be filled up. We were not. The food was fine, but not spectacular; American unhealthy grub. Lots of fried food not a lot of creativity. Also, they forgot to give us the main order and I had to go back for it. Won't be going again. read more

Food was fantastic, our server Andi was amazing, and the ambiance was great. However, the welcoming committee (one of the managers) gave a non-welcoming grimace when we entered with my fully verified and certified service animal. Made us feel very unwelcome and very uncomfortable. Very unprofessional.... Needless to say, we'll cowboy up and won't let this deter us from eating good food. (Mr. Manager, please educate yourself!!) read more

I've been here several times before and always had top notch service and excellent food. This visit was no different. My party of four, two adults, one senior, and a teenager came in today for lunch. We started with drinks, wine and a cocktail. Then had calamari and a Greek salad for appetizer that we all shared. For entrées, three of us had the build your own fish platter. Where you pick your fish, your preparation and your sauce. We all made very different selections and all completely enjoyed our fish platters. My wife ordered the grilled scallops lunch. Again, everyone really enjoyed their lunch. We got the peanut butter pie to go. The lunch was so filling we needed some time before we could enjoy dessert. Our server was Anderson and he could not have been more fast, attentive, and helpful. This is a place we always look forward to coming while we're in town. Highly recommend a visit. Lunch usually has no wait. Dinner has a long weight and reservations are recommended. read more

Big Fish Grill always offers a solid meal with fresh seafood. We recently went in for the off season lobster special - a little disappointing due to the small size of the lobster though. Their linguine was good. Desserts are huge - so do plan on sharing. We also love the ambiance here - nice ocean themed decor and roomy seating. read more

Consistent with my previous reviews, this remains one of my top ten local dining spots for either lunch or dinner. The venue features a sushi-raw bar alongside two separate bars. For this visit, our group of four--which included two friends I treated to lunch--arrived just after the lunchtime rush. We were accommodated at Table 75, a spacious six-person table. I opted out of cocktails since I am currently on the wagon, but thoroughly enjoyed the Big Fish tuna sushi roll for $15. Our server, Noah B., provided excellent service throughout the meal. The total bill came to $111 before gratuity, which earned me 111 points in the Atlas rewards program toward the 500 points needed for a $10 food credit. Ultimately, we all agreed that we will definitely keep coming back here for future meals. read more

Large restaurant with lots of seating areas, two bars, and a room that could be rented for large parties. Parking could be an issue during peak season. One of the two bars were closed when we went (off season). Nice beachy vibe and decor. They even sell merchandise (sweatshirt was super cute but &49!!! - wow). Sat at the bar. Ordered food only. Got mussels and sushi. Both very good. Mussels in the Diablo sauce were terrific! Highly recommend. Also ordered burger no. In with fries. The burger is absolutely delicious. Fries perfect for vinegar. Service was great! Very attentive and friendly. Chatted while working too. Can tell lots of locals frequent this place. There are TVs for games. Great place with great food and super friendly service!!! Prices reasonable for what you get too. read more

We LOVE Big Fish Grill in Rehoboth and every year we come down for the summer it has become tradition that it is our first stop for lunch- why? Because the freshness of its seafood dishes is beyond top notch, the service is SO friendly, and the Crushes, oh the crushes are too good! Equally so, my kids who do not like seafood really love their chicken tenders, fries, and broccoli. I know weird choice with broccoli but both my boys love it! The biggest bonus for me is that Big Fish has sushi and the best poke bowl in the area. Took a photo to show! It is also extremely comfy with a variety of large booth seating and you can wear what you want- coming from the beach- thats fine, want to dress up and go for dinner, all good. Big Fish is a place to go as you are anytime of day for a great meal for seafood and non-seafood lovers and wonderful service. Big Fish has been a consistent in our family for so many years now! read more

Waitress Jaz was nice, restaurant was busy. FOOD: I got the BROILED COMBO 33.95-fresh market catch, scallops, stuffed shrimp, two sides. Fish was ok, 2 stuffed shrimp was tasty, and 2 small scallops were ok. Small portion, soggy fries, and bland coleslaw. Not worth the money and waiting in long line read more

We went for lunch seeing a slew of decent reviews but Very small portions for the price. 16.95 for a crabcake not much bigger than a quarter? The waitress was unfriendly and pushy. Very disappointing read more

Big Fish use to be our favorite family dinner every summer. (You can see my previous reviews) sadly our experience this year was our worst yet and we've come to the conclusion it's just not the same. We will skip it next year. The fries were the worst fries we've ever had. Our meals were very high priced for just average. Our burger was overcooked and the amount of food was minimal. There's just so many other choices that are better. read more

Big fish used to be one of our favorite places to go to, but the quality of their food has gone down. I had the saddest fish and chips in a long time there the other night. The crispness was on point, but the portion was this tiny single piece of fish with more breading than fish. And for $25. The rest of the entrees with my party were also disappointing. It'll be awhile before I return here. A lot of other options are much better now. read more

Excellent atmosphere! Excellent Service! Excellent Food. This place is one of the best meals at seafood restaurant I have ever had. Me and my husband split a crab cake dinner and a house salad.

Disclaimer, I don't like oysters ,clams or muscles. The party I was with enjoyed their muscles and oysters. I ordered the jalapeños lobster bisque soup and it was delicious. I also had the chef special Philly pizza. I did not enjoy that as much only has one small slice of it. Place is nicely decorated with a giant blue marlin on display caught back in '83. Service was quick and easy. read more

This is a must go restaurant in Rehoboth Beach. Their menu has something for everyone with seafood being very high quality. Glad they have a large venue because there is usually a crowded parking lot every night here for dinner. It can get pretty loud in here with so many diners. Service is excellent and they have very attentive staff. My party of 4 had a great time and there was still a lot of food leftover to take home. read more

Came in with a party of 10. Drinks came out, fine. Apps came out, fine. Meals came out, here's 8/10. Meal 9 comes out a few minutes later, still waiting on the last one. Then, still waiting on the last one. Finally a manager-type person comes over to ask what I ordered, so it doesn't seem to be a kitchen holdup, it seems my meal never got made. Meanwhile my kids are halfway done with their food. I get that things happen, but when 9/10 people have food, this should've been figured out far faster than it was. Mediocre first experience, no apology or comment from anyone, not sure it's worth a return trip. read more

Stopped by for happy hour on Saturday and the place was packed! There's a bar in the front and back with a few high tops. We got the last few seats at the bar in the back and were quickly served. We tried the mussels, pulled pork sliders, oysters and chicken sliders. The mussels were super meaty and the toasted bread went so well with white wine sauce. The oysters weren't shucked the best and didn't seem that fresh. The sliders were standard.Service was very quick and friendly. read more

**raw poultry warning I rarely leave reviews, but I left Big Fish Grill today feeling genuinely upset and incredibly disappointed. Thanksgiving dinner is something I look forward to every year, and I trusted this restaurant to deliver a special meal as they have in years past. I don't know if this is a reflection on the new ownership (although all signs suggest it is) as we've had amazing experiences with the turkey and thanksgiving takeout the past 5 years. I won't even get into the rest of the atlas groups new downgrade in quality and offerings since the changed ownership across their Rehoboth restaurants. The menus and food have lost the love and care that Big Fish consistently delivered historically. My family are long term Big Fish supporters and actual employees and want nothing more than continued success. Instead, I was served turkey that was burnt on the outside and raw in the middle. Twice. The wings were burnt and crispy, not in a good way. Did I miss the part where we ordered a deep fried frozen turkey?! But cutting into a holiday meal and finding uncooked poultry was honestly a quite startling surprise -- not just inconvenient, but unsettling on a level I wasn't prepared for. The staff did apologize, and offered a full refund, which we really appreciated. After our first bad bird, we went back to get a new turkey and lo and behold, this turkey also was unfortunately raw at the core. I wouldn't want to be part of Beebe's staff tonight as I fear there may be a few unwell families tonight given we were 0-2 on our turkeys. Raw poultry isn't a minor mistake; it's a basic safety issue that should never have made it out of the kitchen. This is an issue that should have been addressed immediately rather than reactively. Where was the mass recall effort once they got 10 raw turkey calls? I don't want to sound ungrateful for the employees working on a holiday, and they were so kind when we shared our issue, but it was the foundational issue that was inexcusable. I truly hope this sparks a serious look at kitchen oversight, because no guest should have to feel the way I did at what was supposed to be a comforting, celebratory dinner. read more

This restaurant is affordable, delicious, fresh. The service is warm, friendly, humble and caring. It is a place with a lot of space where it feels like home. The waitress gave very good advice and the rockfish was near perfection. The sides were very well prepared, as well as the corn and beans salsa. The Apple pecan cobbler witb the scoop of vanilla ice cream was heartwarming, not too sweet, tasty. The crab cake was delicious. Congratulations to the chef and to the cooks! read more

We had been coming to Big Fish Grill for over 25 years. it is certainly not the same since new owners. Caramelized Salmon is ok but not the way it used to be. Hostess was not pleasant. (never smiled) Deli is completely different featuring more merchandise than deli items. Pecan crust has been totally ruined! (spicy with few crushed pecans) I ended up throwing it away. House salad was a confusing mess. Weird dressing-=no more maple vinaigrette! Olives and onions and no walnuts! After 25 years and over 12,000 in reward points and many wonderful meals and deli treats, I will not be returning. Very disappointing! read more

If you're not Caucasian (white), do not bother to come here. One good thing is that the servers work hard. If you've come in the past, just know along with the pros and cons of new ownership, it won't be what you expected from the past. More bad than good. Especially if you're a minority. Read into that how you will. However, if you're Caucasian, you'll be fine.. maybe it'll even be better than before. read more

Service was great. $71 for lunch two people was over priced for what we got. Spinach and crab dip which was presented on this large platter that consisted of maybe a 1/3 cup of dip and tortilla chips. Cheeseburger and fries, Shrimp salad sandwich that had piled high lettuce, two very thin slices of tomatoes and slice of red onion which was more than the Shrimp. It was so thick and not with jumbo shrimp that I had a hard time cutting it in half. My side was Sweet potato mashers ( mashed sweet potatoes with stringy fibers that you could not chew and a sour taste) instead of fries. Two ginger ales and a heavenly Chocolate cake dessert which made up for the Shrimp salad sandwich and Sweet potatoes. I want to give credit due for that dessert. Would I go back, probably not. read more

My family celebrated my 50th anniversary of marriage at the Big Fish Grill two years ago. We enjoyed the food so much that we couldn't wait to get back to have another meal. Sorry to say the meal we had last Thursday was a disappointment. The clams on a half shell were so small, stuck to the shells and were tasteless. The Oysters were just as bad. The big disappointment was the fried calamari. The menu states the calamari are flash fried which I thought meant crispy and not greasy. They were soaked in grease and at the the bottom of dish was a layer of greasy oil. The rest of the meal was ok but nowhere like we remembered the previous time. On the positive side we had a nice waiter and were treated well by the staff. I hope you make the appropriate improvements to the food quality so that customers can enjoy value commensurate with the premium pricing. read more

We have become regulars at Big Fish this summer, since have been staying here the last few months. We love the food, both the seafood platters and sushi are always on our table. The freshness of the food and prompt service are consistent, each visit. We have become fond of two servers in particular: Peyton and Regan. Both always greet us with warm hellos, even when super busy. They are willing to share recommendations and my wife now always orders a margarita...she said best at the beach. Tara at the bar makes the best crushes and always remembers what we drink! Great food, service and a staff that has incredible team work! Another great meal tonight and we will be back soon! read more

This is a staple restaurant in the area and well known for fresh seafood. Our server was super friendly and accommodating. We ordered the bag bang shrimp for an app and it was decent 8/10. The mixed grill was excellent. The steak was cooked perfectly as requested but I felt it lacked flavor. Unfortunately the only real negative and loss of star was the searing. We were super uncomfortable in our booth. It was very narrow and tight and we felt incredibly squished. The menu is very extensive and the drinks we ordered were decent. I liked to return for their lunch menu :) read more
