Grilled turkey, fries and coleslaw.  This picture looks tiny as there was quite a bit of food here and it was great.
Jason M.

The desk clerk at our hotel recommended Midway. We would not have found it otherwise and likely not visited were it not for his recommendation. Midway was very comfortable, clean, and pleasant. The food other diners had, especially breakfast items, looked terrific. We both had grilled turkey sandwiches and they were great. Amanda was super friendly and checked on us regularly and we had a light meal that lasted us throughout the day. When we revisit Rehoboth, we plan to go back and hope to see Amanda again. Thanks!

Smothered Steak (Special)

On Friday evening, the Mrs. and I had dinner at the Midway Cafe. Our last visit was about four months ago. The place was not crowded and it seemed that it was mostly locals. After we sat, the waitress (very pleasant and friendly) took our orders. We ordered the specials -- Steak and Shrimp for the Mrs. and I had the Smothered Steak (Provolone, peppers, onions and mushrooms). Both of us had the mashed potatoes for the sides. Overall, the food was good but the homemade Chicken Noodle soup was OUTSTANDING! In fact, if we had known it was so good, we would have ordered a couple of bowls for dinner -- that is how good it was.

A week ago we drove by Midway Plaza and noticed the old restaurant that had been slowly fading away due to the numerous reports of erratic and eccentric abuse was out; nothing Preshy here anymore... Granted some found the experience charming; it must have had some draw to last 14 odd years but today I witnessed real cold water being served without protest or insult; a sea change has occurred. In that spot you will now find the Midway Café at 18585 Coastal Highway, it is the same strip mall as 1776 Steakhouse however, this spot is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The slogan is "Best taste in Rehoboth". I'm questioning what segment of cuisine they might best be known for. In one local Facebook group someone mentioned they were a "Greek" place; everyone was excited at this for it is harder to find in the area. Reading the establishment's Facebook page, I note the first review used the term "Mediterranean items", a broader description. However as I peruse the menu, I'm struck with more a feel of "Jersey Diner" as a food format. They have a bit of everything. Even a few item from Preshy's are on the menu so folks who loved food from "back in the day" only have to ask for a side salad of abuse and they might feel right at home! I came in today early afternoon, past the lunch rush so A J the new owner was kind enough to sit with me as I had a Pastrami Reuben with French fries and Ice Tea. A J told me he does not make his own Pastrami but I sure like his supplier for it has a nice amount of smokiness that when not overpowering, hits you with a bit of authority. I should have gotten a side view photo to show the volume of the sandwich. It was not Rosenfeld's in overstuffed size but it was $3.75 less in cost and if I'm reading Rosenfeld's menu right, they don't provide you fries or slaw. The fries were standard matchstick done fine. A J encouraged me to try the slaw as he seemed very proud of it but I'm just not a fan so someone else will have to review it. A J told me his family has had at least 10 restaurants; he's has had 5. One was in Greenwood, one Dover and Lyme, CT. I forgot to ask where the others were. This is the only one he's operating today. He lives locally in Long Neck but we talked houses so I'm thinking he is shopping. During our conversation the man must have jumped up a few dozen times to attend to customers at the counter behind him, to meet new folks coming in or other needs elsewhere. This is a nice guy with good customer service skills and he is passionate about what he's got going on. Glance over his Facebook page to see lots of other food porn and you can see the enthusiasm starting around May 18th as they opened.

Eggs and hash browns barely cooked, like the potatoes were almost raw. The sausage was way overcooked.

Michy's Relaxed Dining

Let me preface this review by saying that my review is based on being a foodie from NYC with access…read moreto every type of cuisine, so my expectations are high when I see an establishment with a nearly 5 star average. To ME, this is not a 4 or 5 star establishment at all. I appreciated the eastethic of the place...it was relaxed but a lot of the diners were dressed nicely. However, why did the hostess have on a hoodie?! This is very strange considering (for the area) this is what they consider a higher end restaraunt. I absolutely hated sitting outside! People will talk about NYC being ghetto....Our table was literally right next to the waiting area. This guy almost hit me because he was that close to our table. smh but we are in times where establishments want to make money on every inch of available space. Take that into consideration if there is only seating outside, which may not be a biggie for others. The food: the bang bang shrimp was VERY heavy on the mayo and the shrimp weren't as crispy. We didn't finish it. I ordered the scallops and they were good but I wasn't a fan of the risotto and didn't taste truffle oil on top. My aunt ordered one of the fish dishes and her fish was overcooked. lol At that point I was feeling gaslit by the reviews because my expectations were wayyyy too high for this place! Service: Our waiter was very nice but he literally came over THREE times to get the bill. There is a tactful way to do this (look from a distance and wait for the customer to clearly be ready and book closed). It was the one turn-off regarding his service that night. Maybe we needed to order other dishes, maybe our expectations are too high for an area like this but we weren't blown away by this dining experience.

I utilized yelp to come across this place for a girls dinner and it delivered in droves…read more I shared the special "crispy skin red snapper" and it was absolutely delicious. Not huge portions, but that's ok. My friend had a wedge and their blue cheese is quite possibly some of the best blue cheese ever. I know it's dramatic to say that but it was that good. To drink I had a vodka martini with the blue cheese stuffed olives and it was crispy and delicious. The server was great and plenty of gluten free options for me to eat. It's a random shopping center but adorable inside. Definitely recommend.
