The birria ramen was so bland. Don't recommend. Their desserts are good! & the fried green tomatoes & calamari are good also.

Smallest soft shells I have ever seen served in a restaurant , what a disappointment took my long time friends there , I was embarrassed $250. Later read more

Always consistently delicious food here. And can't beat happy hour 7 days a week! Try the fish tacos, wings, potstickers, and the fried chicken!! read more

I think I would have liked our visit here more if we had not been put in the small tables for 2 next to the wall in the front of the restaurant. I felt so constricted (I am 180/6 ft.) that I just couldn't enjoy the meal. It was like eating in an airplane seat. We have always liked Matt's Fish Camp on Coastal Highway, and thought we would try this derivation. Maybe we will try it again, but specify that those tables are better for smaller people if they are offered to us. read more

Absolutely the best food around! Their Chocolate Banana Pie is the most delicious thing. Their vegetarian market bowl differs day to day and is fresh and yummy. Truly, everything they make is great. They also have the best customer service and friendly staff. We recently did one of their at-home wine pairing dinners and it was so good and s great value. Thanks Fish-On!! read more

We had the captains platter- the shrimp and lobster was wayyyy over cooked- scallops under cooked- crab cakes had way too much filling and tasteless- and they really pile on the salt- we also had the Bourbon glaze salmon -That meal was a lot better but it was nothing special- we left feeling very disappointed. read more

They have greatly improved their food quality, and menu since last time I was here. They were very accommodating to our party. And our waiter, Jake, was great! He was very knowledgeable and efficient. Cesar salad was so good, and the fish and chips are always a classic, solid pick. Over all pretty good, semi-casual dining. read more

I've been here a few times and it's always been good. I usually go for the happy hour, there are plenty of great specials. My personal favorites are the fish tacos and the brussels sprouts. Simply put, it's a small local place with a laid-back environment. The food is always good and taste fresh. even if it's packed, the happy hour is well worth it. read more

After a terrible 24 hours of travel for a few people in the group and a few others starving we finally decided to head to Fish On! We were seated quickly(9 of us)and I noticed the restaurant was mostly empty. The waitress was awesome with her greeting and our drinks were served quickly as we ordered apps. It was then I noticed they closed at 9...we were those people who came in 10 minutes before close. Awesome job by the server and kitchen for never rushing us. Two of us are in the business and were super embarrassed that we were "that table". We had not seen each other in ages and were catching up and at no time were we rushed. Thank you for making us comfortable and serving a great meal. read more

You should clarify that the mushroom risotto contains HUGE chunks of cauliflower. This is basically a veggie/fungi dish, with lots of cheese and a bit of rice. Called to ask and we were told "risotto is the way you make it". Lol no. Risotto is rice. All I ask is that cauliflower is added to the description so people know what they're getting themselves into. Otherwise food and service is always good. Thankful you were open during the blizzard. read more

Yeah....more like Fish OFF! Maybe it was an off night considering all the raves. We had a coupon from our B&B for a free appetizer and ordered their version of Oysters Rockefeller. Good thing they were free or I would have sent them back. $11.00 - and they were awful....sad looking squiggled up oysters buried beneath an indescribable mound of yuck. My $24.00 fish stew had plenty of seafood- farmed tiny baby lobster tail (overcooked), salmon, clams and shrimp. Some pieces of salmon were delicious, while other pieces were very fishy. The clams had a bit of sand, while the good looking shrimp had the WEIRDEST after taste. Not rancid- just strange. The taste lingered in my mouth. My husband had the famous crab cakes. Hmmm...What is the big deal? True they contained mucho crab...but were so lacking in flavor and needed spice- and Dijon, fresh chives or scallion. We skipped dessert because the meal turned us off. What is up with 3 tables without table clothes while the other tables all have table cloths? Strange. Were we seated sans table cloth because we were newbie's- and most folks here are local "Villagers"? The place is in the midst of an artificial city for retirees. For the money, go into lovely downtown LEWES, and ask the locals where to go. read more

Burger night they have 2 burgers to choose no substitution, and when I asked for my brisket burger med rare the waitress said it comes one way?????? Huh service was excellent and the atmosphere was great I just have a problem when I can't get my food cooked to order read more

Overpriced for the amount of food you get and the overall quality of the food. I ordered the crabcakes with mashed potatoes (2 tiny lumps of cakes & 1 small scoop of mashed) for $27.00!!! If the food was excellent, I wouldn't mind the price, but it wasn't anywhere near excellent. Crab cakes were dry & needed more flavor. The mashed potatoes were okay, nothing special. There are many other restaurants that have done their food way better and for less money. I'm not going back. read more

ate here for father's day with my daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter. when we first sat down, the waitress was serving a "baby kale" salad to another table. it looked so good that I tried it. it was awesome. I love kale, but have always had it cooked. never before raw. very interesting combination of kale, apple slices, sliced almonds, either blue cheese or gorgonzola (i couldn't tell which it was and do not remember the menu) and bacon bits. perfect dressing for the mixture, too. i had the "day boat scallops" for my entree. the four scallops were done to perfection and served on a creatively tasty bed of corn braised with bacon and onions. my only complaint was the price. yes, i know that scallops are expensive, but only FOUR for $27 is a bit much! my daughter had fried chicken on a waffle. she loved it. she washed it down with the restaurant's own creation, "black and white" soda. i didn't like it, but it is creative. my son-in-law had their fish and chips and was similarly pleased. the waitress was appropriately attentive and service was excellent. she also took care to answer my gluten content questions. four stars and not five because $94 is quite high for what we had even with one alcoholic drink and a "Shirley Temple " for my granddaughter. incidentally, my Yelp photo is of sunset over Lewes beach. read more

Wonderful place to eat. Great food and Sunday night special for $19. Good wines. Friendly bartenders.

Fish On used to be one of our very favorite places in Lewes for dinner. Great food and great service. But I'm afraid it has fallen victim to the rest of Matt Haley's restaurants -- there are too many and Matt can't keep up the quality. Took friends there for dinner two weeks ago. The service is still good. However, the food is suffering. Everyone left dissatisfied. They used to have killer Shrimp and Grits. Sadly no more. Mine just looked sad. Flavorless grits. Shrimp that had hardly any flavor and was covered in a gelatinous sauce. How on earth can chorizo be tasteless?! The chorizo on this plate was. We won't be going back -- and I'm really sorry to say that. read more

Seafood was perfectly prepared. I had the scallops; they melted in my mouth. Great use of local in-season veggies and excellent bread. I'm totally hooked on the white bean mash dip with home made melba toast. Wow! Dog friendly with plenty of outdoor seating. Strange suburban location which quite frankly kept us from trying this place earlier this summer. Damned stupid reason to pass up such a wonderful meal. It's worth the drive into condo-hell. Our waitress was very friendly and our dog appreciated all the doggie treats and ice water!. read more

First of all they deserve a 3.5 but couldn't give them four. Went tonight for happy hour with my husband. Restaurant had about six tables seated. We ordered a few happy hour items. I said twice the total was five items. We realized she missed the fish tacos but she also missed the chicken wings and only knew that 15 minutes later. The sad thing was when we got them they weren't cooked through and weren't good. I mentioned it and the bartender seemed indifferent. The rest of the meal was good though. I enjoy food here usually and most of it works. Tonight most was good. read more

Our first time here, had a spectacular experience. Marie was our very attentive and enthusiastic server. The food was incredible! Mom had the crab cake special and she ate more than I've ever seen her eat. Good sign! Hopkins pumpkin ice cream was insane. Will be back! read more

Fantastic speciality drinks with homemade soda, sriracha glazed honey wings, and chicken and waffles. Holy crap. My first impression of this place was fantastic. The chicken and waffles totally blew me away. Being a fried chicken connoisseur I'm always picky. This was pan fried deliciousness. Straight from the south. The onion and maple gravy oozing over top the savory herb waffles was an experience I'll never forget. The wings were massive jumbo wings with decent heat and spiciness. Can't wait to go back. I just don't think I'll order anything else! Spend the extra money and get a couple of drinks and the chicken and waffles and I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Fish On - Chicken and waffles - Seafood Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

Fish on is a great place any age and for any occasion. To start off, the atmosphere is spectacular. The modern style and open concept makes everything easy and quickly accessible. The entire restaurant is filled with art made by the locals. The service here was also very nice. The waiters and hostess were very glad to see me and my family. Our waiter knew the menu like the back of his hand. He came to check on how we were doing and refill our drinks frequently. The food was so scrumptious. The shrimp was so very fresh and plump. The shrimp and grits expertly combined good ol' home cooking and elegancy. My cousin got the fried chicken blt. He said it was cooked to perfection and all of the flavors balanced out. All the fish is so fresh and tasty. The bill was a bit expensive, but that is price you have to pay for food like this. Because of all the delicious food I quickly ate, at sadly couldn't order dessert. All in all Fish On is a great restaurant for locals to try something new, and for tourists to experience the wonderful food in Lewis Delaware. read more

Great spot for delicious seafood. The lobster and heirloom tomato salad was outstanding. We had Kirby as a waitress, and she was AMAZING. Kirby, if you see these reviews: thank you! read more

After eating soft shell crabs at numerous seafood restaurants in Rehoboth and Lewes, the soft shell crabs at Fish On! cannot be compared to! Absolutely excellent!! No bready mess, but sauteed perfectly. My sister had the day boat scallops which were fantastic. The chef Maurice knows what he's doing when it comes to preparing unique dishes!! Will definitely be going back for more! read more

Sunday$19 3 course special.. Couldn't find scallops in pasta scallop entree, sent back for alternative turkey n dressing..looked like glob of square mush. Ooooh bad day for chef read more

Short rib burger is amazing! The atmosphere is very inviting. I've been to the restaurant for private events and the food is always good in that regard too. read more

Our absolute favorite place in Lewes! Amazing value, the portions are always satisfying. Jess, the Bartender makes amazing drinks, her dirty martinis are OUTSTANDING. Chef Raul has the most interesting dishes and their weekly specials and Happy Hour never disappoint. Raeline and Marcellus are phenomenal servers too. We always feel welcome at Fish On and can't wait to go back! read more

2nd time going here 2 times in a week for the past 2 years. Great meals and service, super tasty and friendly for families too.

Four of us went to dinner tonite. the food and service as amazing (thanks Marsella sp?) my only complaint was that I saw more than one employee put their dirty fingers inside the water bottles to clear the table. i'm sure they aren't washed between tables, just came of as really unsanitary to me. other than that, great night! read more

Outstanding staff and delicious food. Stopped by for a quick bite soon before closing with my dog and they had a very nice dog friendly patio. The food came very quickly as well. Will definitely come back! read more

When we walked in we were seated right away this wonderful service continued throughout the meal. This restaurant exhibits a modern atmosphere with open concept and decorative wall art. The ocean theme is consistent and not overwhelming. We ordered appetizers and they were out of the kitchen quickly. All of the food was hot and delicious, Also the portions were adequately sized. They have a wonderful outdoor patio with nice lighting and umbrellas. And while the bathrooms felt slightly dated it was not a deal breaker. It was slightly expensive but justified with the quality of food. Overall the restaurant was clean, professional, delicious, and a great meal read more

Have been going to Matts restaurant since they opened. The food has always been top notch, but sometimes it seems the chef gets in a rut and doesn't brighten the menu. I can definitely say that consistency has never been a word I would use for the service. Sometime it seems that there is an attitude. Still all in all a very good place to consider. read more

We had a delicious dinner, nicely prepared, generous portions. Service was friendly and attentive. Decor is modern, sparse. Have been to Happy hour, good prices, fun place. We live in the neighborhood and will keep coming back. read more

Good local restaurant- have dined there three times and the experience is consistently good. Tonight we had Kirby as our server and she was excellent - enthusiastic and knowledgeable - one of the best. The raw oysters are a personal favorite. read more

Nice atmosphere - great appetizers and desserts. Entrees are a little pricey for the quality of the food. They try hard, but go overboard on spices, etc. read more

We really enjoyed our dinner at Fish On. We made reservations for 6 online, but arrived early and were seated right away. The atmosphere was pleasant and the food was good. The service and drinks were great! We ordered mussels, calamari, salads, crab cakes, cocktails and dessert. The prices were on the high side, but we were expecting that going in. Overall we had a nice evening and plan to return. read more

An evening which started with so much promise turned sour, disappointing me greatly. Fish On is in a great space, has high ceilings so it is not too noisy despite the crowd, and has the solid SoDel reputation behind it. We gave our drink order to our server and I ordered the Napa Sauvignon Blanc wine. I got the New Zealand one, but immediately told the server and asked for the one I ordered (there are only these two available). A different server brought me the new glass and just said,"here you go" and walked away. We had the rockfish and glazed salmon and were disappointed by how dry and bland they were, but soldiered on. I think they were understaffed in the restaurant since we saw little of our server and nobody topped up our water glasses. The bill arrived with both glasses of wine on it and when we questioned it the server said that I had ordered wrong but they would take off the one glass - like it was my fault but they'd do me a favor. I tried to talk to a manager but she was in the kitchen, I assume helping the waitstaff. I won't return to Fish On but will stick with Blue Coast in Rehoboth where the staff are wonderful. read more

Can only comment on happy hour, but it was just ok. Calamari was good, wings were better at Matt's (a little over cooked this time and needed more sauce), Brussels sprouts were not my fav... they seemed a little heavy being fried and then with the truffle oil. Needed something else to brighten it up. I prefer the fried Brussels at Po Boy's in Milton. I wish SoDel restaurants would get a little creative and have some variety at their restaurants. Feels like the same food no matter which one you go to. When you're paying like $30 something for crab cakes, I'd expect them to come with another side dish option besides French fries! read more

I ordered the chicken fingers and I was blown away by flavor and texture. I loved it. I give this 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt that it was really good but I have tasted better. If I could give a phrase instead of a number I would say stunning. I recommend going to this restaurant for any other delicious dishes. read more

Fish On is tucked away behind a grocery store just off the 5 points intersection in Lewes. The decor is really sleek and the atmosphere is great, they even have a fireplace! The food is fantastic, the best in Lewes. We got fresh rockfish with some sauteed vegetables and the captain's platter. Both awesome. The captains platter included the best crab cake I've ever had (and I'm from Maryland!). The server, Brittany, was very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient and they had a great beer/wine/cocktail selection. We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Attended a private party. Awful. Iced tea and coffee were supposed to be included and I had to pay for mine at the bar. I don't drink alcohol. I was upset. Some of the platters didn't have serving utensils so we had to use a fork to spoon out the soupy veggie dip. The desserts were sub par. We found shells in the crab cakes. The veggies were overwhelmingly cut too large. I may be new to Delaware, but I will not recommend this Restaurant unless you're looking for overpriced small portions of okay food. read more
