Seafood boil
Tina C.

Delicious food, friendly staff made for a very pleasant first night of vacay dinner. Got seated right away on a Thursday at 7ish (mid-June). Wait was much longer on Friday night (as expected). It is relatively small but service is quick! Had a burger at Starboard (across the street) the next night too, fries were better there but the burger at Starboard Raw was much much better!

Espresso Martinis
Barbara S.

Busy winter weekend at Dewey over President's Day. We had already eaten across the street, but enjoyed the absolute best Espresso Martinis we have ever had!

Espresso martini & orange crush

Awesome spot for oysters & cocktails. Their espresso martini is incredible (rum instead of vodka!). I've visited on two separate occasions and both times had great servers with a good sense of humor. Indoor & outdoor dining. Lots of great options for casual food. Starboard Raw has such a great vibe!

Caitlin (bartender), Patrick (shucker/utility), and Franklin (chef) really made this Christmas eve Eve special. Service was spectacular, drinks fantastic, food unbelievable. The Christmas decor was stunning. 10/10 My wife, baby, and I will definitely be back. Thank you for the incredible experience. -The McK's.

Delaware Bay Oysters
Bernice M.

My friends and I came here on a Wednesday because they have happy hour all day. The restaurant is very small, it has a long bar that you can sit at and about 5-6 tables along the other side. We got there around 4/5pm and it was completely full. There were 6 of us and only 2 tables inside that could fit us comfortably and they were full so we chose to sit outside at two tables. The Delaware Bay oysters that were $1.50 for happy hour were bigger and meatier than I expected, it was only slightly briney. All in all, very pleased with them. The peel and eat shrimp came and I had a friend who almost turned the dish away because she thought that someone ordered a shrimp boil. It's served in a broth with potatoes and corn, and also cocktail sauce. Not what I expected at all and slightly over cooked, but fine. We got our drinks and food very quickly, but the service was a little off. When we were first ordering, I asked the waitress Kelly about how much comes in the peel and eat shrimp, knowing the menu says half a pound, the response was, "well, we weigh it." When I returned a look of slight disbelief, she then replied, "about 7-9 shrimp depending on size." My friend ordered a dozen assorted oysters and the staff came by with them, and immediately left without telling her what was what. When the final bill came, the waitress charged my friend another menu item's full price, not the peel and eat happy hour price. When we asked to about it, she was adamant that she was right, they were the same price anyways, until my friend pointed out our table's bill was correct and the waitress realized her mistake. I'm willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, but it was just not the greatest experience.

Excellent food and beer. The crab deviled eggs were delicious! Likewise the seafood pasta was really good. Crabs and mussels are the big seafood draws around this area. Starboard Raw can get really packed but the vibe and food choices are far superior in our opinion to sister restaurant Starboard across the street.

Just tried their crispy tuna rice and it was delicious! Also of course had to get the best espresso martini in Dewey Beach!

crab deviled eggs and tuna taretare lettuce wraps
Brittany P.

rex is awesome ! he had great food recommendations and was a very laid back guy. $6 crush special was awesome - the lemon crush was refreshing with a punch behind it. the tuna taretare lettuce wraps were very pretty and had such great flavor ! and the crab deviled eggs were a nice appetizer !

Everything was perfect today. First real spring weather. Outdoor seating with a beach town practically all to ourselves. Snacking away at Happy Hour and watching the sun set. Besides the ambiance, all the food was great and delicious. A dozen raw oysters naturally for Happy Hour. Their Starboard VIPale Ale is delicious pairing with it. The Buffalo sliders were perfect with every bite. The crabby tater tots could have been more crabby. The crab cake sandwich was really great tasting too. Mi almost missed it but they e got their own Statblard hot sauce made by Peppers down the street by the outlets and that was delicious with the tots and dipping the crab cake in it too. I really liked the daily special too-- seared tuna with crusted sesame seed over a seaweed salad cucumber slice.

Came here for an early dinner on our last day of vacation. The Starboard business has really…read morecornered the restaurant market in the area! All joking aside we really liked the atmosphere and food here. Has a sports bar vibe but very much a beach, outdoor restaurant. Servers were all extremely friendly, checked on us often and made plenty of conversation. We started with the Cheesesteak Eggrolls, huge. Common theme with all the portions! Definitely a lot to eat as a starter, needed a little salt. Entrees were the Scott Van Melt & Famous Turgeon Tenders (on the Light Fares/Starters). Both were so good, I dare to say the tenders were some of the best I've ever had. Love spicy food and this scratched that itch! Super super tender. Only negative, not really a negative more of a small disappointment were the crushes. Everyone had said this was the place to go, they market themselves as the best. These were extremely liquor forward, maybe just a heavy pour, but not at all our favorite. Wish there was a bit more flavor, orange and bourbon were the ones we tried.

For my main dish I got the BBQ chicken salad with a side of coleslaw. Super delicious. And really…read morefilling. I got the half and half soup. Such a cool idea. Cream of clam and clam soup mixed. So delicious. We got two crab dips for the table to share. I tried some and it was tasty but I only had a little because it was pretty salty. I also limit my salt intake these days so keep that in mind when reading my assessment. I got pink lemonade that tasted like sewer water. Which is why I assume the either give you bottled water or add alcohol to everything else. Service was great and quick! Very loud in there though. Good place for a large group.

He's amazing (he lives 45 min away, has a baby on the way. He's also an Orioles/Ravens fan. Ask for him! Terrific. The drinks were great! Got the strawberry pretzel salad beers and a spicy margarita that was awesome. Nice to have the ability to get a drink other than beer. Ordered burgers, wings, and cheesesteak. Everything was delicious. Burgers were perfect - get the goat cheese one. Cheesesteak was huge! Wings were done perfectly as well. The fries are vinegar worthy too. Overall, terrific!!!

The last time I was here, the lady who brought our food from the kitchen noticed I had a young child in tow, and she ran after me with a bag to help carry my leftovers because she realized it would be a struggle holding two large carryout boxes and chasing my kid. That was incredibly considerate! Put a smile on my face.

But, off season parking is much easier. Very friendly staff. It was a seat yourself place and there are tables with benches and chairs. We were greeted quickly. Seems as if the same person tending bar is the same who is serving the tables as well. Again, this was off season. She was very efficient and attentive. Very good customer service. Didn't order drinks, just ice tea, lemonade, and water. Ordered garlic parm wings (yummy), side of fries (should say trough full as it was such a generous portion), beef and cheddar sandwich with fries (get this - so tasty), a turkey burger (delicious and a mile high), chicken wrap, and a regular burger with no bun. Two of us got onion rings as a side. Everything comes with chips but can upgrade your sides. As far as taste, literally nothing put on our table was bad! Everything was delicious. You can't make a bad choice here. The menu does give a wide range of options so even a picky eater will find something. Such a down home nice local place to grab a bite. Very comfortable place with friendly vibes.

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!
