    A 3.5 star rating. Place is very cute and spacious instead. I love the Lewes location so ofcourse got very excited to try this new Middletown location! I got my usual. Bacon, egg and cheese on a toasted garlic bagel. The bagel was barely toasted but the sandwich was pretty good. If it was toasted more may have gotten a 4 star rating. Fast service since I went super early one morning and no one was there.

    I doordashed my order - steak egg and cheese (added hashbrown) on a jalapeno bagel grilled with homefries and fresh oj so I can't speak much to the service. I love the option that they will grill your bagel, sometimes toasting a bagel for a sandwich isn't right. The jalapeno bagel flavor was v good, not at all spicy though. If you are a plain bagel person and you wanna branch out a little, I would recommend. The sandwich was really good and hashbrown on the sandwich and as nice and crisp. On the other hand, the home fries were nicely salted but not crisp at all. I'd skip the homefries and go for the chips or hashbrown. The fresh oj was also really good.

    It's a nice place with plenty of seating. Service is great and they have plenty of options. Bagels are just ok. If you ask for a toasted bagel, they are barely toasted. The jalapeño bagel barely had any jalapeños. The jalapeños spread was barely spicy. It basically tastes like a regular plain bagel with plain cream cheese.

    This is a new Surf Bagel location. It is aesthetically pleasing inside and out. The ordering and executing process is extremely streamlined and efficient. Staff were friendly and properly trained. I got my order quite expeditiously. I am a bit of a bagel snob since being from New York State and growing up on the best bagels in the world. Surf Bagel will do very well here although it won't be my favorite. LIDL down the road has fresh baked authentic New York style bagels made throughout the day that outshine these bagels. But I digress. I ordered an egg bagel un toasted with the cream cheese and lox spread. The bagel was fluffy inside and had a decent crusty chew. As it should have. The cream cheese was fresh, albeit somewhat smoky with lox flavor. With the exception of one piece of lox, the size of a pinky fingernail. The rest of the so-called lox were tiny little ballpoint pen bits strewn about the cream cheese. The so-called lox bits had an almost artificial flavor. Certainly not what I would expect if I ordered lox cream cheese. Perhaps they can find another purveyor. I would not order this flavor cream cheese here again. I did get four bagels to take home. I will place them in the freezer and hopefully they will toast up and taste good in the near future. I may come back to sample a bacon, egg, and cheese on a toasted bagel and see if that type of sandwich can meet my expectations.

    YOU decide if U want to spend $$ on Bagels shaped like this!!

    Bagel was delicious. Coffee was just so-so. I will definitely be back but will do take out next time. Inside was extremely noisy!

On one hand I want to try again for dinner but for the price, I'm not sure it's worth it. Pros: Amazing service - very attentive server(s); we had one in training/shadowing and she was just as good as our primary server, offering refills, clearing plates, overall greet banter Cocktails are fantastic - had the Minnie Ripperton and loved it - creamy yet refreshing and bright which is a tough combo to achieve Cons: Hidden entrance - after circling what looked like an abandoned building 2x we finally figured out the entrance was in the backy and down a set of stairs. I now understand the "speakeasy vibe" but the clutter in the front made the building look abandoned or under construction; not a great start to the experience for us Food service - the other couple we were dining with got their entrees about 10 minutes before ours and we were some of the first orders & diners of the day. Usually you might hold the whole table or refire some of the dishes so it all comes out at the same time. They finished theirs before we even got our to start, making it a strange eating experience Small print menu - with the low light of the speakeasy, the menu had the teeeeniest print I've ever seen making it very difficult to read the menu options. We also didn't realize that the menu changes/is seasonal (not called out on the website) so many of the items we had wanted to try were not an available option. I love a menu that changes but hope it's indicated on the website (aka: sample menu, subject to seasonal change) Hit-n-miss: Fried chicken Benedict- huge portions, amazing biscuits and perfectly poached (but unseasoned?) eggs. I don't know if the hollandaise soaked into the fried chicken or never existed at all - and that's the thing you want with a Benedict. If it existed, it never reached the biscuits because while they were good, but were completely dry Shrimp and grits - perfectly cooked, great consistency, but very under-seasoned Water - just an observation and maybe it's just the local tap water flavor but it tasted off or as off the soap hadn't been washed from the glasses Pro Tip: be aware of the automatic gratuity in some circumstances; if you don't know, check the website before your meal!

I'm glad, because with it being slightly off the 'main drag' in Middletown, we might not have seen it otherwise. We arrived towards the end of the dinner rush hour, and fortunately were seated over by where a musician was playing. It was a busy night, and we were tired and hungry from a day at the faire. As it was busy, there were sportsball games going and the musician playing, shouting was required for discussion and we had some funny misunderstandings YOUR GRAPE IS ON THE MOON? WHAT? Oh, your gravy is a little cool! :) The musician was great, playing lots of 70s and 80s hits, and he seemed to enjoy us singing along and dancing. We are, after all, rennies. We're glad he was enjoying us as much as we were enjoying his music. We got drinks and menus quickly, and our server was attentive without being pushy. After a few minutes looking over the menu, she appeared and we ordered. I got the Stampede Burger, while one of my friends got the Prime Dip sandwich (AKA French Dip), and one got chicken fingers. All came in reasonable time and were quite good, hearty food. So, why the one star off? Dessert. Could we have a brownie sundae? Out of brownies. OK, how about chocolate cake? Out of that, too. Uh...red velvet? Out. Basically everything chocolate. Sigh. Yeah, it was busy but not insane. We ended up not getting dessert, and it was disappointing. Whoever's managing food orders and prep, please do better. Also, if it's not available, it would have been great for the server to say so up front, that way she didn't have to tell us no 3 times. Parking in a private lot, plentiful. We would go again, we just will plan on dessert elsewhere.

    Jackson House - Calamari was good but wish it had a dipping sauce or something.

All the crew back there are doing a phenomenal job with the preparations and quality of the food. All the dips are made from scratch and it tastes fresh. I'm not a salad person but I had the beet salad and it comes with fresh goat cheese spread; man oh man; I ordered takeout. The lamb chops are amazing!! The tea brined wings are really good and the sweet potato cornbread is a 10! The decor and ambiance of this location is beautiful! The coffee was a 10! Very strong & that's what I needed! Berto was our waiter and he did a great job with representing the company well with his service! You'll definitely catch me back here. 2-3 times a month. It's worth it!! Check this place out

When my friend and I entered it was during their brunch service. I had no idea what to expect. The restaurant wasn't too busy (it was a Friday afternoon). The server was great. He was very attentive.

I would definitely come back.
