This is a great place for a family to come together. They have a wonderful play yard for children, and a great selection of craft beers on top. I came at around 5 PM, and it was beautiful outside, but a little hot in the sun. The hostess was willing to see me in a table around the corner, where there was a nice breeze. We had a great server, who was very attentive to our needs. People enjoyed the various food offerings, including the pasta, which had a kick to it. I ordered the chicken thighs, which is a rare treat to find on a menu. My only disappointment was that they were a bit overcooked and dried out. Perhaps it was the time of day, but who knows. Other than that, I would come back and try another dish someday. read more

Cute spot that was located within walking distance from our hotel. I tried a beer flight and one of their hard lemonades. Both were very tasty. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was ok. read more

We first found out about Crooked Hammock while visiting Myrtle Beach and were excited to learn there's one in Delaware, my husband's home state. So when we were back visiting, we stopped in with a couple of friends. They have a great beer selection with something for everyone. I prefer sours, so I went with Brand New Day: Pineapple Coconut, and it did not disappoint. You really get the pineapple up front, with a little coconut at the end. We started with the crab dip and pretzels. The dip was delicious, but the pretzels were a bit too heavy on the Old Bay for me. Just a little too salty. My husband ordered the smash burger, which was more like a standard double cheeseburger. Not bad, just not what he was hoping for, and he wished it were more true to the name. I had the Farm House Burger and it was definitely one of the more unique burgers I've tried. Blueberry compote, goat cheese, crispy onions, chimichurri mayo, harvest lettuce, tomato... it was a lot in a good way. I couldn't really taste the chimichurri, but everything else worked nicely. And the hammock fries were good. Our friends got the chicken nachos and raved about them. They looked really good, I wish we ordered those instead, but I already know what I'm ordering next time! Fun vibe, solid food, and a great beer list. read more

Driving through the Delmarva, we stopped in for a quick lunch bite. The service was prompt, the decor cute and the food good. We had the shrimp salad and hamburger--both hit the spot. Only had water and a coke but the brews looked interesting..Also, there is a large outdoor recreation area, with a fire pit and lawn games, and also a separate kids area with swings and slides. Looks like it would be great in the summer. Check it out--I think you will like it! read more

The best thing about this place is that it's family - and pet friendly. There are plenty of tactile surfaces to explore outside. Of course, the oversized hammocks are too. Something for the kids and pups. This place is reminiscent of a Cracker Barrel/ souvenir/ Truck Stop. In a good way though. Very rustic, desert sandy type of place. The booths are great, I love high seated booths. You can see over the crowd. The 'That Burger Is My Jam' was great. Thick, juicy, tenderness, with bacon. Topped off with a smattering of Jam. They agree so well as a pairing. The Old Bay Crab dip came with pretzel bites. Very niiice. They have an orange bourbon cocktail also well mixed. read more

Have always dined at the Lewes de. site, but we dined at the Middletown de. site this time. But don't know if we will go back- bathroom was like a janitor closet,and was really dirty. Second, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, which was the worst one I have ever tasted, very very greasy with large chunks of ham in it. Will think twice before going to this site again, but the servers and staff were very nice. read more

The bartenders Erica and Craig were awesome. We ate at the bar so we could see the musician playing that night. The food came out fast and delicious. It's a fun place to grab some food and drinks. Plenty of parking and not far from the main road! read more

Perfect day! Had my daughter's baby shower in the Tap Room with private bar. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The food was on point. The space included a an expansion onto the enclosed porch private from the restaurant. It even had its own bathroom facilities and access to the back yard. Definitely recommend this venue for all your family events!! read more

We have come here multiple times over the years. We always have a large group with people ranging from small children to older adults. We always have a great time. In the summer we take the kids outside to play. We have tried a variety of food and drinks. My husband, son and daughter liked the beer. My other daughter likes the mixed drinks. I really liked the salad with shrimp and the nacho appetizer. Our waitress was very good, friendly and organized. A manager came by and checked on us. The last night we were there had good, live music. We will definitely be back. read more

We've been here several times and really like the casual atmosphere. Lots of menu choices and the service is usually good. Only giving it a three because the food is just OK whenever we've been there. Sometimes not much flavor or not the temperature you would expect it to be, and the last time we were there, my friend's crab dip was lukewarm. She asked if they could warm it up but the waitress said that's how it's supposed to be. A manager was walking around a few minutes later so we asked about it and he confirmed it's supposed to be hot. He agreed to take it back and warm it up. By that time, everyone else was done their dinner and she just got it to go. read more

I've been to the restaurant in Myrtle Beach and really liked it so I decided to trek the 50 mins to this one in Delaware. Very laid back vibe with a little different menu. A rather large outside sitting area as well as an indoor bar and seating. This place is dog friendly, something that I struggle with at times. I don't own a pet so eating next to one is a work in progress. they have a very good assortment of different beers and alcoholic drinks. I've fallen in love with Myrtle Peach beer. . Their boneless wings are excellent, and the nachos are a must try as well. I wasn't a big fan of the meatloaf, a little too mushy for my taste. But they do give you a big portion. All in all, I will be back due to the nice laid-back vibe and environment and friendly atmosphere. read more

Family friendly. Relaxed atmosphere. Good service and, of course, great food!! My first time here and I had a good time.

This place definitely has a great ambiance. It's right next to a hotel I stayed at for work so the location was perfect. It's a family friend type of bar. The drinks were good and the food was ok. The staff were friendly and helpful. I definitely wouldn't mind visiting again. read more

Amongst the many micro-brewery located south of the Canal, this establishment stood out from the crowd. It offers a large selection of small batch beers, with specials for each season. Flights are available in case you have a hard time to decide. Their food menu is limited, compared with other microbrews. However, all dishes are flavorfully done, and comes in good portions. Pricing is comparable to others. The seating area is quite large, offering both indoor and outdoor. The large outdoor facility has playground and mini golf, which makes it family and pet friendly. They can accommodate large parties for special occasions. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable on the varieties of beer offered. read more

Don't walk, RUN to one of the cooler restaurants in Middletown (and a brewery bonus). What a great addition to the town. When visiting my parents in DE, I'm not so overly impressed with their options but I was so impressed with the CH that we ended up here 3x's in a week. Huge bonus for parents with kids...they have a playground!!! Why haven't any other breweries thought of that?? My 5 year old had a blast and I did too that he didn't have his head in an iPad the entire time we were there. FOOD! We had the nachos = amazing, other family members had wings and burgers...both great as well. DRINKS! Everyone loved their drinks. I was a little disappointed on the frozen pina colada but I'll let them have a pass. I did try the watermelon cooler beverage (alcoholic) - summer in a glass..10/10. Merchandise - then we stocked up on merchandise...woo hoo! We can't wait to come back to this happening restaurant in the heart of Delaware! read more

A friend recommended CHB to take the kids. They have a nice outdoor area with dining, live music, corn hole, play ground and hammocks. Overall the food was very good and the vibe fun for the family. Kids burger [4] Bacon cheese burger [4.5] Charbroiled steak skewers [5] Fries [5] ..they were good. Smores brownie sundae [5+] ..OMG, so good!! The brownie sundae was AMAZING. Vanilla ice cream, oreos on top, hot brownie, marshmallow and graham crackers on the bottom. This alone is enough to go try CHB! read more

Went there several weeks ago. The food is kind of creative. What there is of it. I guess they are hoping that if they have live talent you wont notice how small the portions are and how the prices for standard bar food. We watched the wait staff standing around talking to each other back at the water station. Meanwhile it took almost 45 mins to get food. Very disappointing since we live so near and were hoping to be regulars having just moved here. Not going back. read more

SO yummy. Went on a Tuesday so it was trivia night - really fun to play and great service. We had the Papa Pig burger, the shrimp mexican salad, and the amazing bread pudding. Will absolutely be back!! read more

Tonight was my second day i a row dining at CHB, but this time it wasn't just me & Tuukka; we were joined by familywho are visiting. Aly tended to us (2 adults, 2 teens & our toddler), & she has the patience of a saint. We chose to start off with the Longboard Nachos, something I haven't ordered since I dropped 35 lbs. ~ I love the salads with steak or salmon, & have enjoyed them this past year. Unfortunately, the nachos came out with jalapeños, and we had to send them back. The 2nd tiem they came out, my sensitive-to-anything-remotely-spicy relative said she couldn't eat them either. I ended up eating the nachos as my meal. The kids had fun playing in the hammocks. Tuukka enjoyed another burger pattie, & all the attention from over a dozen kids and adults who asked to pet him. And my Wide Eyed Wit beer was ice cold, so it was a good night. Thank you, Aly, for your grace & smiles. read more

Great service, excellent and unique Summer Berry Salad (with yummy honey ricotta, fried chicken, granola and a lemon dressing), and good cocktails. My partner's dish (Sticky Lager Chicken) was pretty good, he liked it more than I did. This was our first time here, and we both agreed we would return! read more

Good service good burger good crowd I will go again with no hesitation another place that's good to mingle

This is our second CHB we visited. Friendly customer service. Liked the outdoor vibe at Lewes better. Probably made a difference based on season and time of day though. Curious to try Myrtle Beach location. read more

Shady business practices! Beware! This is for Richard Garrahan. We drove an hour to purchase a $100 gift card for the 2-$50 voucher deal. We were told it sold out. I have a photo of the deal. It says nowhere while supplies last, etc. Very disappointed in your lack of character to make good on your promise. How short sighted. The manager Jessica spoke to you or someone in charge and apparently you didn't care. I will be filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau on Monday. I have a photo of the deal as advertised. I will also be putting this everywhere I can to let people know your business practices. read more

Crooked Hammock, Middletown, DE. Special Edition Tuesday with Amigo Dan, beers and smash burgers. I've driven by Crooked Hammock many times. I considered going in a couple times. Honestly I didn't go in because it looked too gimmicky. I LOVE THIS PLACE!! I could have gotten a beer and walked around looking at the decor for an hour. I found two beers (only tried three) I loved with End of Day - Acai Bowl being my favorite. The food. The only thing I know about food is that 'sauces' separate the good chefs from great. Their sauces and finishing touches were very very good. Everyone I met working there was great. Dear Crooked Hammock, Please make your own beer cheese and beer mustard. Thank you, Jim read more

First time stopping in here during my travels around Middletown. Already full from a lunch earlier I opted for a flight of drafts while being taken care of by Ivan, the bartender that walked me through the draft menu offering some suggestions of his favorites. I enjoyed 4 drafts; two IPA's and two lighter beers to balance it out. Displayed on a paddle shaped like Delaware was a nice feature. The location was open, vibrant and welcoming filled with laughter, smiles and good vibes as patrons enjoyed drinks and food. Taking my drinks outdoors I was able to enjoy the sun in the self seating area around the fireplace that took a break during these hot summer days. The covered umbrella tables offered shaded sanctuary to hot families with the kids slowly turning the shades of lobsters matching the decor inside. There were hammocks that I didn't get to but will next time along with yard games like cornhole in both a public area and adults only zone. Great place to be for a drink or grab a bite to eat. Friendly reminder to patrons with the heat opting to sit outside you know what you sign up for. If you end up not being able to handle the heat stay either indoors or let the staff know you are moving before you change spots. This staff member brought out a couple of dishes balanced on her arms and got to the table to see it empty. She was able to find the table but that was not necessary. Everyone is trying to enjoy the day so let's think about it. read more

We stopped here on a drive as we head up to downtown Philadelphia for an Eagles game! This place was a vibe. The beer is a vibe. The decorations are a vibe. And "Buddy's Hot Mess" special Christmas dessert is a vibe. If I'm ever on this drive again, I will absolutely return here. I think this is a fun place where people with kids can go have an afternoon beer and let their kids run around and play on the outside playground. I'd say it's a must visit if you're in the area. read more

My family and I LOVE Crooked Hammock! Always a great time for adults and children!

Nice summer place, live music, outdoor space, chili was world class, great beer. Fun night outdoors

I had my wedding rehearsal dinner here in August. We used the Taproom/Screened-in Porch area which was perfect for our ~50 guests. Kim L (Event Coordinator) was so helpful getting our event all set up. Also, cannot forget Graham and Drew who did a fantastic job keeping our guests fed and happy with a drink in their hands. An extremely accommodating crew! The space was perfect and the menus availably for groups is great. Highly recommend for any large event. read more
