    Spinach salad with chicken.
    Gilbert G.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute spot for brunch in downtown Lewes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My wife, two sons, and I ate in the enclosed outdoor patio as the main restaurant was crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My wife enjoyed an omelette with home fries. One of my sons had a salad with chicken. My younger son and I had the artisanal sandwich (chicken with avocado and brioche). To be honest, it was kind of meh. I would stick with traditional items (like the omelette). For the location and service, it's a nice place to dine.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was adorable![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Limited seating so get there early.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was fresh and delicious and the coffees were great! We'll be back for sure.

    Stylish spot for breakfast! No fuss and fairly good options overall. More gluten free options would be great. Had some friends in town and we decided to go here. Everyone was very satisfied with their orders, my gluten free self included. Would absolutely come back here!

    Lox Egg Benedict.
    Michael F.

    Eggcellent service. Eggcellent food. Lox Egg Benedict and Norwegian Bagel Sammy was amazing. We camp at Cape Henlopen every year and just found this place. We will return for more eggceptional food. Service couldn't have been better. They were extremely accommodating of our party of six.

    French toast
    Tracy K.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice restaurant in town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good service. Meals arrived quickly and were really tasty. Large portions, good value. The Strawberry French toast was more than I could eat in one sitting, so I took it home.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]5/5 ambiance[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 5/5 service 3/5 food [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really cute spot in Lewes. Lowkey, diner ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was mediocre. The granola didn't pair well with the French toast and was stale. There's a lot of potential in this dish, could consider topping with toasted pecans, whipped cream or mousse, and caramel drizzle - remove the granola and raisins.

    Eggcellent is a quaint spot for breakfast best suited to small parties
    Courtney K.

    Bottom Line: Quaint spot for pairs or small parties to have breakfast or lunch. My husband and I had a Sunday morning breakfast at Eggcellent on Market Street. We enjoyed the quaint atmosphere, whimsical artwork, attentive service and variety of breakfast options. My husband enjoyed a huge omelette full of veggies and I branched out form my normal high-protein breakfast for French Toast. The French Toast had whipped creamer, fresh berries, granola and cinnamon on it so it was surely a decadent treat. We washed all of that deliciousness down with black coffee. We visited Eggcellent on a Sunday morning in March about 8am and I was surprised that it wasn't very busy. I suspect the crowds come later. Hopefully those crowds come in parties of two or four because Eggcellent is rather small and probably only seats about 45 people between a few tables on the front porch, a back patio (I think) and the tables inside. In other words, I wouldn't bring my rowdy friends here for breakfast but I certainly enjoyed Eggcellent for a peaceful and delicious start to the day and I'd be happy to return.

    BLT sandwich
    Brittany Anne O.

    Came here for brunch on a weekday and was pleasantly surprised to see the restaurant busy with patrons. There were several specials on the menu that were seasonal and available for purchase. Since it was fall I ordered the pumpkin pancakes. The cakes were light and fluffy with a subtle pumpkin flavor. I could have gone for a bit more spice, but I enjoyed them nonetheless. We also ordered a BLT which came out with crispy bacon and a generous serving of avocado. The service was quick and friendly and we enjoyed sitting outside because the weather was mild for November. There were lots of beverages to choose from -- coffee, tea, and chilled drinks. A great spot for breakfast or a relaxing lunch.

    Eggs Benedict.
    Angela K.

    Food was Eggcellent. Our waiter was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We needed pet friendly location after our camping trip and this was perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were in a sun room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll be back !

    This small café has a cozy outdoor seating area where we decided to sit. We were seated right away, and our waiter was very kind. We ordered avocado toast with two eggs and just the right amount of sliced potatoes on both dishes. I went with the veggie omelette with American cheese, which was cooked just right. Afterward, it's easy to walk around and explore the nearby shops. Parking is conveniently located about a five-minute walk away.

    Cute, small, space in downtown Lewes. Breakfast and lunch Available. Tourists prices. Great coffee, ok hot tea, House Egg Benedict and salmon Avocado BLT Good food!

    Vivian R.

    We went here today for lunch and were seated immediately even though it was crowded, which was great! We all had sandwiches and they came with fries. Their fries were very crispy and yummy! We all really enjoyed our sandwiches as well! We will come back again for breakfast when we are in Lewes.

    This is the Avocado toast- Beautiful and  so good!

But I was able to find an entree here that was delicious, filling and fairly (depending on your choice of sides) healthful. First, the crabs. The place is crowded. We waited about 30 minutes outside (alternative is the inside bar) and got a table. We ordered our meals and within three minutes, my partner had a tray of 6 nice-size blue crabs in front of them. The sides (the AYCE comes with fries, hush puppies and cole slaw) came a few minutes later. My entree - grilled chicken breast with 2 sides - came a few minutes later. Two large moist breasts, fries, veggies (veggies add $2) and I ordered a third side - cole slaw for extra $2.95. If you are a non AYCE crab person like me, you understand the need to pace yourself during your meal - hence, the extra side. : ) I really enjoyed my meal and my partner the crabs. The service was exceptional - both water glasses and refilling those crab orders. My partner didn't have to ask for crab refills. Before they were done with one order, the server was ready with more to add to the platter. The server was very pleasant and seemed to know most of the customers in the place. There's an enthusiasm and positive vibe here that is really great. An excellent meal and overall good experience. And that's speaking as a non-crab person!

    Steak and Cake Special with a Canal View…read more Tried Harbor in Lewes, Delaware, located right along the canal in the downtown district, and it definitely leans toward the upscale side of dining in town. As soon as you walk in, you can feel that polished, higher end atmosphere, and the canal views make for a really nice setting. I went during the off season in early March and caught their Wednesday night Steak and Cake special. For $36 you get a six ounce filet mignon, a crab cake, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a Caesar salad. For a restaurant of this caliber, that's a pretty solid deal. The Caesar salad came out fresh and crisp, and for the first time ever I noticed something you rarely see anymore -- two small sardine strips on top, which is actually the traditional way to serve a true Caesar. The entree was nicely plated. The filet was ordered medium. Parts of it were cooked perfectly and very tender, though a couple bites were a little chewy. The crab cake was the highlight. Very meaty with minimal filler, which is exactly what you want this close to the Delaware coast. Mashed potatoes had that homemade style with a few lumps. Some people love that rustic feel, though I personally prefer them a little smoother. The green beans were simply steamed but had great flavor. Service was excellent. My waitress Kim was friendly, attentive, and very accommodating. The restaurant itself was clean and well kept, including the restrooms. Overall, a very enjoyable meal with great flavor across the board. I'd definitely come back and would be curious to see what the atmosphere is like here during the busy summer season.

We enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere so much that we made it a point to come back the following year. That second visit was just okay. The food and service weren't quite as good, but we chalked it up to an off day and decided to give it another chance this year. Unfortunately, the third visit was the worst of the three. We were initially seated near the stage where the music was so loud that we could barely hear each other talk. To their credit, the host was accommodating and moved us to another table when we asked. However, our server's response was disappointing. She made a passive-aggressive comment along the lines of, "That's fine if you move, I just won't make as much money." Not exactly something guests expect to hear when simply asking for a quieter table. The food was bland and arrived at different times. Some dishes were cold by the time they reached the table. Several drinks were forgotten, and we had to remind our server multiple times before receiving them. We also spoke with management about our experience, but they seemed largely uninterested and didn't appear concerned about addressing the issues. The one bright spot is the outdoor area. It's a great space with lawn games, a playground, and plenty of room to relax. If you're looking for a place to have a drink outside and let the kids play, it serves that purpose well. For us, though, the combination of poor service, inconsistent food quality, and lack of concern from management means we won't be returning.
