Always a must stop on our family trips to Delaware every year. Seeing Gus cooking and how friendly his makes the boardwalk adventure! Looking forward to the yummy burgers again this summer read more

Have heard good things about Gus and Gus for years. And finally, after years of coming to Rehoboth Beach and never visiting, my partner and I stopped in for breakfast. I got the cheese omelette (no choice of cheese - it came with Swiss), home fries and bread (I got the English muffin). My partner got the 2 eggs (over hard), home fries and English muffin. I also got a small coffee. The food was good. We would have preferred the English muffin be toasted a bit more, but the eggs (both my partner's and my omelette) were good, plenty of cheese in the omelette, and the home fries were well prepared. The coffee was decent. Overall, a solid breakfast at a reasonable price point, especially considering we're right on the beach. The service was friendly and efficient. Gus and Gus has been active at this location since 1956. That's a lot of history, a lot of burgers, fries, etc. There's something neat walking in here and sitting at the old-style booths and thinking about the years and years that the place has been open. Oh, well, I'm getting nostalgic. The restaurant is cash only, both for take-out and eat in. read more

Good old fashion food. Excellent cheesesteaks and burgers! Cooked to order. They only take cash, so be prepared.

We have been going to Gus & Gus place for the last 20 years during our family vacations in Rehoboth, and they haven't disappointed us. Their business still appears to be booming and they usually have a line out the door to order food during peak beach busy season. As for the food, their cheesesteak sandwiches always hit the spot. Their fries are solid too. The location being right off the beach & boardwalk is very convenient as well. The other thing to note is this is a cash only restaurant. And take a look at the very old school cash register photo below! read more

This place is so great, and it is most definitely open as of today! Great beach food, great prices, great location right on the boardwalk. AND they'll give you ketchup for your fries if you want it! read more

Yooooo... when I was in Rehoboth, I ate here all four days. Suffice to say, I was sick of fried chicken on the last day, so too much of a good thing is possible. First day, my wife got the fried chicken, I got a steak sandwich which was just a cheesesteak. I dunno why I was thinking it'll be a literal steak sandwich... my bad. I was craving that chicken the rest of the day and when I tried to go back later that night for chicken, they sold out. Boooo... so I got it the next day. By then the charm wore off but it was still good. Later that evening... I tried to look for something else. The next day.. I got it again cause it was right next to my hotel. Last day... I just thought, why not get it again cause four in a row... or something. I realized that life isn't like a game of connect 4 and I don't get to yell out bingo. But I know I will get Gus Gus fried chicken next time I'm Rehoboth... cause it's like tradition now... but maybe not every day I'm there.... read more

Gus & Gus Place - Boardwalk front. - Burgers Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

This is a "must visit" boardwalk destination if you are looking for a good old fashioned "greasy spoon". My son and I had cheesesteaks and they were awesome, as were the fries which were hand cut. Plus the prices were reasonable. $15 for a 12 inch cheese steak with the works isn't bad, especially on the boardwalk. Another member of my family went for breakfast today and said the sausage egg and cheese sandwich was delicious. The only negative is it's cash only. read more

A staple of Rehoboth beach for 67 years, this place serves up great hamburgers, hotdogs, corn dogs, and fries for a long time. This man at the grill knows what he is doing and if supporting local small businesses is important to you as well, then you have to stop by this place and give them a try. read more

If you are looking for an old-timey boardwalk spot serving killer food (like fried chicken, cheesesteaks, french fries) all cooked in peanut oil...then this is your spot! ***WARNING: this is a CASH ONLY establishment, so come prepared! Wife and I had a quick beachside getaway before a weekend in DC, so we came to the area for some R&R and were looking for a nostalgic meal when we hit the boardwalk at Rehoboth Beach. We sat at an inside booth and the server began to take care of us. It was fun to view all the old pictures hanging throughout the space, and watching the crew clean and peel potatoes and work the grill was a cool way to pass the time while our food was prepared. We ordered both fried chicken and a cheesesteak to share, along with sides of french fries and cole slaw. Honestly, I was not expecting that much...but the fried chicken was some of the best I've ever had! The exterior was crispy, crunchy and had great flavor from the peanut oil and it was served piping hot. Came with a dinner roll. Although the cheesesteak was on the smaller side, we ordered it loaded and the melding of flavors was on point. Fries cooked in peanut oil also had that distinct flavor...doused with malt vinegar and ketchup made for the perfect bite. Cole slaw was the minced style with a tangy, creamy dressing. Both of us really loved our meals and would return here in a heartbeat. read more

I really liked this place and it kind of was an unexpected surprise during my quick trip to the area. I found myself needing something to eat and during off season I really didn't see much open. I saw Gus & Gus was open and got in line. Even better was that you could eat inside instead of standing outside of having to sit on a bench inside so that's what I did. Note: CASH ONLY- there is an ATM inside. Gus & Gus sort of throws you back to the 60's with its original diner decor. Its old-school jukeboxes on the tables that unfortunately are not playable. Everything inside looks like it's the original decoration. Old family photos. This place is legit. The food is a simple sort of hamburger & fries joint. Everything made fresh to order how you like it and it comes out rather quickly. Again, being off season I didn't have much competition in terms of waiting, but still, the wait was minimal. The staff, well, the family working there was really friendly and helpful. Was a really cool experience. The only downside was that it definitely had that old diner smell to it, but the food is worth it. I loved the burger and the fries are amazing and the price? You can't beat it. read more

I love a mom and pop greasy spoon and atmosphere. This place has most of their original decor including tables and chairs staff was friendly. CASH ONLY I was disappointed with the meal. The homefries were hard and the toast ICE cold. The bathroom was nasty. There was urine all over the floor and you could smell the previous day patrons urine that was left on the toilet seat. read more

Not bad fried chicken and tasty fries! They use peanut oil to fry which made them crispy and delicious. It'd be nice if they marinated the chicken in buttermilk overnight to tenderize the meat a bit as some pieces were a tad "chewy". I also got cole slaw which was good but at $2.50 for a shot glass serving size it was just too little for the money. I have also tried the chili cheese dog. Not a bad dog but the chili was horrendous! It was very dark in color and tasted burnt like it'd been overcooked and reheated again for days. It just looked old and dangerous so I ended up scraping it off. Service was pretty good. Ambiance? This place stepped right out of the sixties which is kinda cool though they should make it a point to wipe e-v-e-r-y-t-h-I-n-g down really well. The table was sticky and I think I lost some leg hair tothe sticky booth table support. read more

Customer Service - 5 out of 5 Wait time - 3.5 out of 5 Cleanliness - 4 out of 5 Ambiance - 4 out of 5 Food quality - 3.5 out of 5 Gus and Gus is a nice place to grab a quick bite, but not too quick. This popular boardwalk spot does get long lines and the food seems to be "made to order". The cashier didn't seem too keen on taking the next customer until the previous customer's order was completed so that made the line move even slower. Customer service was great, staff was friendly and interacted well with each customer. The large cheesesteak had a good flavor and was a decent size for $11.50. The only cheese option is White America. Bread was good, it was soft and chewy. Orders are not written down so if you place a large order just make sure you receive everything. Overall I give this place a B rating. read more

Gus & Gus Place - $11.50 | Large Cheesesteak w/ fried onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo - Burgers Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

$20 for 2 corn dogs, a small fry, and a large Coke. Not too shabby for a no-frills boardwalk venue. It's cash only, but there's an ATM a couple stores down. There is dining inside, but you cannot buy take out and sit inside. read more

This is a cash only place with some inside dining but most people order to go outside. The line was long but kind of worth it since I got a cheeseburger and it was really good and I was considering going back in the long line to get another one. Also, the fries portions were fairly large so great bang for your buck there. If you go to the beach, this is definitely a good place to stop for food. read more

Gus & Gus Place - Outside - Burgers Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

It's like a trip back to 1962. A good greasy beach shack type diner. Nothing has been updated (or cleaned) since about 1968. But if you want an old fashioned sloppy, greasy, and tasty steak and cheese while at the beach, give them a try. And if you're hungry for food other than steak and cheese, just walk another 100 feet to Zogs. read more

If you're a bit squeamish about the cleanliness of your restaurant experience... I might recommend you another joint. But if you're the type of person who loves to visit a greasy spoon and revel in the collective history of the flat-top's well... grease, this is just the spot for you! Gus And Gus Place is... real old. It's real old and it's not updated. The signage harkens back to a simpler time, the bold centered coca cola advertising lets you know which side of the Coke Pepsi wars they landed on. The hard black lettering on large white rectangles evokes the 1960's... which is not a mistake. These Rehobeth Beach landmark has been open for more than 60 years. And they are flinging fries, hamburgers, and fried chicken the old fashioned way. I ended up ordering a Gyro Salad... cause I'm me. When the bowl came to the table, I thought... oh... that's not a big enough salad to make a meal of... but I was completely wrong. They packed a lot into that little bowl and I was barely able to finish it. The fried chicken was crispy and pretty delicious, personally I would have like a bit more seasoning. The prices at Gus and Gus place are just right. They have not held steady with inflation, and because of that, we were able to feed our group of four for just about 50 bucks. You can tell a lot of their business is walk up traffic at the front window, and since they're just about right next to "Fun Land", I'm sure the simple and straightforward fare is popular amongst families at the boardwalk with picky children. Definitely a place to check out if you're not on a diet, are on a budget, and want to have solid greasy diner fare at the boardwalk. read more

Food is good at this famous mom & pop shop - they are a little grumpy and strict with their policies. The cook was very sweet though. I enjoyed the hot Italian sausage. read more

Loved everything about our experience here! We ordered a burger with pickles, lettuce, Mayo, ketchup and mustard (absolutely delicious and made to order) and a hot dog (they split them and grill them, and again dress them up as requested). We would've happily ordered more if we weren't planning on getting more boardwalk goodies. The line wasn't too long around 1130 AM (on a holiday Monday) but I imagine gets pretty crazy at peak times on the weekend. read more

Gus & Gus Place - Outside line to order - Burgers Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

Was in the mood for a burger while waiting for the fireworks to begin, so decided on Gus' as you could smell the food cooking while walking along the boardwalk. The line was long and it took a good while to order. I like how you could see your food being grilled/fried right in front of you. When the cook is ready, he'll ask if you want anything on your burgers. Decided on just cheese. We all thought our cheeseburgers were just okay. Price was decent ($6 for a 1/4lb and $3 for a smaller burger). If you are hungry, I suggest you order something other than a burger. Medium fries was more than enough for 3 to share. Fries were okay. Some soggy. Some extra crispy. If you just want a drink and/or fries, there's a separate line so make sure you read the signs! read more

A charming Rehoboth boardwalk classic. Remember to bring cash because this spot is cash only~ Everything is grilled right in front of you in this adorable little joint and the french fries are freshly cut and fried up! Cheeseburger (4/5): A classic cheeseburger although made from frozen patties hits the spot on a hot summer day when you're looking for that familiar comforting taste. It is on the smaller side. Philly Cheesesteak (4.5/5): Quite heavy (as should be expected) but worth every bite! A generous serving of meat with all the toppings is sure to satisfy (definitely a bigger portion than the cheeseburger) read more

There are no string of words that I could string together to come close to describing the deliciousness of Gus & Gus. The service is amazing. Gus #2 on the grill is fantastic. You can see how much passion he puts into his food. Gus #1 really brings the restaurant together, with his fantastic banter, and great service. I'd give this 11/10 great ambiance on the water front. read more

A bad early Monday morning start to the work week. I have been wanting to try a breakfast sandwich from Gus and Gus, but I guess, Gus doesn't like to say good morning or sorry we're not open yet. Not very hospitable to a new customer read more

Gus & Gus Place - Burgers Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

Horrible inept customer service that would negate even the best food. But the food was just average, so there's no upside here. We literally waited in line for 25 minutes just to order and there were only 2 customers in front of us. The kid at the register was just nasty- no other way to describe it. It was like he was doing us a favor by taking our order. They don't write your order down and they wait to verbally tell the chef your order, except he waited about 10 minutes to tell him, so of course they messed up. The whole process is quite possibly the most inefficient set up I've ever seen and it's not a pleasant experience. Will never be back. read more

This is the place we ate most while visiting Rehoboth. From a quick hot dog or sausage for lunch to a 15 Pc chicken that fed a family of 5, Gus & Gus remains a staple of quality food at the beach. The line can be daunting, but be assured that the carryout is worth it. If you are able to eat in, it is very quick. The charm of the decor makes an interior visit worthwhile. I don't think it's changed much since my first visit in the 1980s. Breakfast sandwiches will fill you for the day, and don't sleep on the Italian Sausage!! read more

Waited in take out line for 20 minutes to get a hot dog. There was enough grease on the grill to lubricate a semi tractor. The help had no interest in moving things along. A real dump! read more

Amazing food!!! Burger, fries, cheesesteak. Unbelievable. Great prices and portions. Will be back every year. Thank you Gus!!!!!!!! Great service inside as well. read more

Food was great and affordable. Quickly made in front of you. Perfect food for a day at the beach.

Food is a must try. You can see it made fresh right in front of you if you order at the walk up window. Fries are even better than Thrasher's. The prices are very reasonable (possibly cheapest on the boardwalk). They only take cash. Service is fast. Ate there several times during my trip. Will go again. read more

Great spot for a quick and easy burger. It tastes very good. It's a combination of a McDonald's cheeseburger and Shake Shacks. It is good! If you are hungry get two. Fries on the place at the left are better! Don't expect luxury it is just a place to get a burger and keep walking or go back to your spot at the beach! read more

Great.. Great local food! Don't miss it, it's so worth the boardwalk experience! Once in a lifetime deal.z

Pretty good. Very very very slow. Small grill top. They basically cook two orders at a time. Was in a line of 6 people took 40 minutes from when I get in line until I was walking away with food. That said. The food and the price were great. Authentic. Would go again. read more

Friendly and fast - there might be a line but it moves or maybe sit inside and chill out. Waitress was friendly, prices from a decade ago and neat and tidy. Interior is from a long time ago but when it's hot outside this is a great little break. Bathroom in the back. HIGHLY recommend the cheeseburger- omg, it's the best. read more

I. love. this. place. I've been coming here for 30+ years and at trip to Rehoboth isn't complete without a trip here if they're open. It is a a part of Americana from a bygone era done right. Whether it's the crammed-in, red pleather booths or the boardwalk windows, or the fries they make from real potatoes in front of you, or the greasy diner food that is all that they serve. It feels like it belongs in a 50s movie and that's probably because it actually opened in 1956. If it was only the ambiance, it wouldn't hold up though. The food is actually good. I mean, it is what it is, which is to say greasy American diner food, but it's _good_ greasy American diner food. The gyros are great. The grilled chicken is great. The burgers are great. The french fries are amazing (and they're good by any standard, forget price point or dinner food). read more

We came down to the beach recently and realized we forgot to grab lunch. As we passed this place, my husband thought we could get a few things to eat to go. We ordered one order of fried chicken tenders, a corn dog, a side of fries and bottled water. Somehow it all came out to $22! After recovering from sticker shock and realizing they were cash only, we had to use their ATM to pull $ out (adding to the cost of the meal). We looked at the menu (our fault for not looking at it before ordering), we realized the side of fries was $4-5, the corn dog (average size) was $4.75. I couldn't believe how expensive they were. The chicken tenders were delicious and they give you a decent amount of fries but still, this place is way overpriced in my opinion. The food wasn't good enough to make me come back but maybe if we had the drunk munchies... read more
