Cuban - properly pressed would be amazing.
Heather K.

Welcome to the Purple Parrot where dollars decorate the walls, roof and rafters! Key West inspired bar just off the Rehoboth Beach. Plenty of tables, high tops and bar seating. Rock music mixed with happy conversations flow freely throughout the place making it an instant vibe. Wings on point. Juicy and flavorful and only a buck each on special. The cheese steak was a gamble. Being from Philly we know cheese steaks. Not bad for outside Philly steak, but the roll wasn't up for the challenge and the traditional cooper sharp is subbed out for cheddar and just doesn't offer the same cheese steak experience. The Cuban was quite tasty with juicy mojo pork and just the right ratios of pickle/mustard. Could have used a bit more cheese and like the steak. The roll was too soft. Properly pressed this sandwich would be great. Our service was acceptable and much as expected for a beach bar. No tax always a plus for DE - especially since VA charges a whopping 13.5%! The Parrot is perched among a row of delightful beach shops along Rehoboth Ave and well worth a stop when in town. A solid four stars with room to grow!

The food is good, the service is good, what set this place apart is the ambiance! Visit this place once and you'll be back over and over!

crab cake sandwich with caesar side salad
Devyn W.

the all time best place to get a crab cake and this is coming from a self proclaimed crab snob. I daydream about those crab cakes all year.. absolutely phenomenal. I also come here for drinks and karaoke. so much fun. thee only place in the world I would sing in front of strangers. but everyone is so kind and fun. I always make new friends everytime I'm here. the staff is always so nice and helpful. they also have really good vegan options!!

Love the beach atmosphere with dollar bills everywhere! Fantastic happy hour with half priced starters and wings! FINALLY removed Barefoot wines and have a better selection of wines to go with dinner! Addicted to their Friday Baja Fish Tacos! Service was great!

Outdoor seating in the sand

Do not come here expecting a restaurant dining experience. It is a very loud, very drunk beach bar that just so happens to have a menu. It's chaotic and disorganized- we had to wander around and ask three different waiters for help before we got seated. Most people here are not eating food- they're socializing, and drinking heavily, and yelling like rowdy teens. If that's your scene then great but this is not the place for you if you just want to sit and eat a meal. 3 stars because the food wasn't bad.

Fast service on a rainy off season day. Food is fresh, great daily specials. Tuesday is snow crab day- $20 for a pound of yumminess Good vibes!

The Hangover Burger with onion rings (pre lettuce tomatoes and onions)
Cali W.

First off, I enjoyed my time in Rehoboth Beach. The community is friendly and diverse. Now, for the Purple Parrot. It's a casual restaurant with a friendly and diverse staff and clientele. I ordered the Hangover burger and my partner ordered the cheesesteak. Both were incredible! Now I love a good burger and I have enjoyed many, but this burger took the cake. I believe it was handmade and grilled to my satisfaction. I asked for medium well and it was delicious. Tender. Juicy. Hardy. I don't recall if this particular burger comes with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions but I made sure to ask for it, and when it all came together... It was sublime. Chef's kiss. Also, the cheesesteak was a knock out. Very well made. Seasoned but not over seasoned. Greasy (as a good cheesesteak should be) but not overly greasy. The bread on both my burger and the cheesesteak was fresh and toasted accordingly. I mean if there was ever a standard for a burger or cheese stake, the Purple Parrot sets the bar. I would definitely return and I would recommend. I also enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. We were warmly greeted and overall, felt comfortable enough to actually relax and enjoy our food and conversation without being rushed or constantly interrupted by over-attentive servers. Finally, I believe both dishes were priced affordably and appropriately (appx. $15 each). Thanks PP. I hope to return again soon.

Fun spot for lunch after the beach! Service was good as it was a little quiet but the food was fresh and good

Mushroom fettuccini at Sirocco
Me M.

I visited Purple Parrot Grill on a Sunday evening minutes before 7pm with my two daughters--one is 10, the other a teenager. It was July 4th weekend, so I anticipated there might be a wait, but I was excited to try the place because of their menu variety. Upon entering, I was approached by a hostess. I simply said "3," indicating our party size. Her immediate response was a blunt "no." Confused, I asked, "No, as in...?" She replied, "We're full." I then asked, "Okay, so you're not seating anyone for the rest of the night?" Again, she said, "No." Trying to understand, I said, "Don't you close at 1am?" She confirmed they did, but then added, "We don't seat kids after 9pm." I pointed out that it was only 7pm and asked if she meant they wouldn't have any seating available for the next two hours. She simply repeated, "No." What bothered me most was the cold and dismissive tone, and how I had to pull every piece of information out of her. From the start, there was no clear explanation, no courtesy, no effort to communicate what the actual policy or issue was. I left angry and disappointed. I ended up just going back to my hotel and having dinner there at Sirocco which was delicious with great service. If there are special procedures or policies about seating children after a certain time that's completely understandable--but it needs to be clearly communicated, and above all, delivered with some basic respect and professionalism. This was not the warm, welcoming experience I had hoped for, and unfortunately, it left a really bad impression.

I took a trip here with my partner. There was a staffing issue in the beginning, but the waitresses were very accommodating and went above and beyond to correct the issue. The drinks were pretty good, and not watered down, which I can definitely appreciate. We ordered nachos, which were very bland. We didn't even finish them. But the salad was actually really good. Like surprisingly good. The chicken has a nice char to it. It was well seasoned and Smokey. Can't complain at all about that. The atmosphere was also unique with dollar bills all along the ceilings and wall that has been autographed by customers. I think if they upgraded the quality of some of the entrees, this place would be a real hit. But it's still a decent experience. And not overly expensive.

Let's start by saying, from what I remember... I stopped by the Purple Parrot for drinks with my sister-in-laws, & we had quite the time! Our bartender, Connor, definitely has the patience of a saint because I'm sure he was ready to be done before we were finished. But he hung in there, thanks for putting up with it all. Hope the fat tip made it worth it! We enjoyed several drinks & shots together, & my in-laws grabbed some food earlier in the visit. The vibe is laid back & casual with a fun, eclectic atmosphere that really adds to the charm. Definitely a spot to remember (or not)!

Crab leg special with really tasty potato salad.
Rachel K.

My friend and I had great service and frequented the parrot on our trip. The specials are great and the vibes are very beach tropical. Had a great time putting our dollar bill on the wall!

As someone who generally loves Mexican food and a great vibe I was excited to stumble upon the Purple Parrot. I really liked the place, very chill but fun and an easy place to get comfortable with my buddy. Service was slow, kind of surprising since there weren't that many customers, but food was kind of disappointing. Ordered steak tacos which looked like they were missing some ingredients and tasted like flavored fat. Ich. Too bad.

Wife had a salad and I had a marinated chicken/bacon/cheese sandwich.

Ask the Community - Purple Parrot Grill

Can people under 18 eat here is there a time cut off?

Yes - the Parrot is a full service restaurant most of the time - the age restriction occurs at 10 PM when the various "shows" begin and is more bar than dining venue.

We stopped by for a late night snack and a few drinks at the bar. Our bartender was super friendly…read moreand attentive. The Dogfish Head 60 Minute was very fresh and perfectly chilled.

We arrived at approximately 5:00 PM and were told by the three hostesses at the front that there would be about a 20-minute wait. We provided our phone number and were told we would be contacted when our table was ready. We also specifically asked if we could be seated outside, but were told that they were not seating anyone outdoors. We waited patiently, expecting a text or phone call. By 5:55 PM--nearly an hour after we arrived--we still had not received any communication or update. We finally went back to the restaurant ourselves to ask about our table. Only then did the blonde hostess tell us, "We could sit you now." What made the situation even more confusing was that after specifically being told earlier that they were not seating anyone outside, we were then seated at an outdoor table. Unfortunately, the entire experience left us feeling unwelcome and overlooked. A quoted 20-minute wait becoming almost an hour is frustrating on its own, but what was most disappointing was the lack of communication. Had we not gone back to ask for an update, we honestly do not know how much longer we would have been waiting. We have always enjoyed coming here, particularly during the off-season, when the staff we encountered were consistently warm, welcoming, and accommodating. That positive history is exactly why tonight stood out so much. The hospitality and communication we have come to expect simply were not there. We understand that restaurants can get busy and that estimated wait times are not always exact. However, keeping guests informed and making them feel welcome should still be a priority. Tonight, unfortunately, we did not feel that way at all. This was a very disappointing experience from a restaurant we have genuinely enjoyed and supported in the past. We hope management takes this feedback seriously, because this was certainly not the level of service we have experienced here before.

The space was open and lively. Although they had no live music that day, a projector TV was placed with sports. Olivia was very nice and attentive. The fried chicken sandwich was crispy and tasted great. The coleslaw lacked a bit of flavor but it was still a nice counterbalance to the sandwich. The pizza was excellent! It made me want to eat the whole thing at the moment. Overall, it is a worthwhile experience. Especially if you used to have a Dogfish location where you lived.

I usually like them to have a little bit more sweetness to them, but these also tasted like they stood in the fryer, a little bit too long. I ordered one of every oyster and made one an oyster shooter. The briney babe, came with a seaquench beer which was great and crisp, not too sour of a sour, had good flavor. I would order it again. The oysters I wish I had more of. They did come out, but they are a little bit smaller and for their price point without a happy hour they can be a little bit on the expensive side. Though getting an oyster shooter, you can definitely get more alcohol, but you'll have to sustain it some other food. I do love this location because it has a slightly more menu compared to the actual dog fish head brewery which has more options for cocktails, etc. Service did take a little bit, so it's better to order everything at once once you have your server.

The location itself is a bit small and cramped. I had the luck to sit in a table close to the window, providing ample space. The bathroom is maintained but there is only one, so it is constantly being used by patrons. The trash can in the bathroom was a bit filled with trash but the rest was clean. Jodie was a great server. She was attentive, answered our questions and addressed our concerns. She made the experience well. She provided me with coffee refills throughout, ensuring I never ran out throughout my time eating. The food is made to order, so there is a slight wait to get your food. I bought the crab omelette. It was delicious with the crab being jumbo lump and with flavor and taste. There could be more cheese inside the omelette to make it cheesy. It was there but not fully. Definitely try it with the old bay. My family also got a crepe. It was big and with taste. It is a great place to show up early in the morning for breakfast to then prepare for the beach. Would definitely come by again when I go back to Rohoboth Beach!
