Came here for an early dinner on our last day of vacation. The Starboard business has really cornered 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. read more

For my main dish I got the BBQ chicken salad with a side of coleslaw. Super delicious. And really filling. 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. read more

We loved the food here!!! Super fun spot to grab food before a night out. We all shared different bar bites while celebrating a birthday, and our server was great. read more

In town visiting friends that have a camper nearby. Tried this for brunch. Good food. Service was very good. Had an eggs & crab skillet...it was good, but very bland...lacked a lot of seasoning. Friends enjoyed the Bloody Mary bar. It was nice sitting outside, but hostess sat us in a seat where one of the chairs was in direct sun...even though there were plenty of other tables empty. The outdoor seating gave a good chance to watch local atmosphere. Overall, good experience. read more

The Starboard is hands down my favorite beach breakfast spot! Everything is always so good, the mimosas are delicious, and the atmosphere is just fun. Great food, great drinks, and service! The perfect Dewey Beach vibe. Always a must when we're at the beach! read more

Love the Starboard . Went to the comedy club there . The drinks were good . I ordered an orange crush and I didn't like it so sweet . Our server was excellent and had it made without the soda . It's always convivial at the Starboard . A real party atmosphere read more

My first night in Dewey and my first time in the area for not work, I decided to dine at a place I had never had the chance to before. I walked up the street from my hotel and came in here. I asked for a table for one and was taken inside. With menu in hand I looked it over. I was greeted by my server promptly to take my drink order. I have to say that the customer service here is top notch and they made sure that I was taken care of at all times. The only thing I was a little out of place was when I noticed that the room I was dining in was gong to be used for live music later. I felt like I was going t be rushed, but I was not. After looking over the menu I went with the Classic BLT and Sands' Tots. The menu description had me sold for the tots and I always love me a BLT. I asked for it all to come out at once since the BLT comes served with Ruffles. The BLT was perfect. The ratio of ingredients were perfect and the sandwich overall was on point. But, and as you can guess, the star of this meal were the tots. I'm always a tots fan, but these tots were over the top. Sands' Tots are from NBC Sports and Golf Channel's Steve Sands. They are smothered with melted cheese, bacon, scallions, and sour cream. It comes with a ranch for dipping which was the perfect way to cool down the saltiness of the bacon. I mean, I was already being baconed out with the sandwich and this was a bit over the top. I ended up taking these back to my room with me because the tots could serve as a meal by itself. Even the second time around the tots held up. Great place to dine, probably even better to spend a night out at. read more

Fun vibe!!!!! As a bar, this is a great spot to me. There's big TVs and live music! I gave it 3 stars because the food is just ok! We got the app the sand pile which was fries with melted cheese and bacon. The description made it seem like it was going to be a lot but one person could have easily eaten these fries and there was hardly any bacon. Oh well! Come for the vibes, not the food. Our waitress was a sweetheart!!!! read more

Starboard does it all. This is a fun place for a night out but it's also a really reliable place to grab some high quality bar food for dinner or brunch. I always get the southwest chicken wrap and sub the spicy grilled chicken for chicken tenders, and it's always a 10 outta 10. You can find all of the bar classics like wings and burgers, but they also do a really healthy and fresh salad. There's a pretty large kids menu and my kids devoured their grilled cheese and tenders. At night it's a scene - you can usually expect to see a great cover band. Pair that with a crush and you cannot go wrong. Starboard is a Dewey institution. read more

I've been here countless times and I leave happy every time. We stopped by for breakfast today. Our server was a young guy, really nice. I got an orange crush and a Bloody Mary. I'm pretty sure I ordered an eggs Benedict and not the eggs Delmarva but I was slightly inebriated so I can't be sure which I ordered. I got the eggs Delmarva with the home fries and it was delicious. The eggs Benedict is good but if you like crabs I highly recommend the eggs Delmarva, everything went together so well and tasted even better after I added some Starboard crab seasoning. They know how to make a delicious hollandaise sauce, I have never not gotten one while here for breakfast and each time it is a home run. The orange crush was amazing as always. I never walk out of the starboard unhappy. read more

Cool place. Great customer service and food was very good. A must place to stop if in area.

Seemed to be the most popular spot to day drink or night time party in Dewey beach. It has secrets of ocean city vibes just smaller. A lot of bar stations and all have the fresh juice squeezer. Service moves quick. A good mix of American and seafood classic dishes. The crab worked with the burger surprisingly really well. read more

Great service and fantastic atmosphere. Love that you can eat outside but still have cover over you from the sun. The food was outstanding.

Came here for dinner to avoid the line on a Saturday night!! (I've waited 2.5 hours during the summer before) Definitely one of my favorite night spots, the bar vibe is unmatched! Dinner food is so so, I prefer the breakfast here, but wasn't super hungry so I got a BLT and it was okay but you come for the vibe and the drinks! Orange crush here is the best ever! Servers are always fun and attentive. Will be returning many, many times read more

Super busy but a great place to get some drinks and live music! Very young 20-30s vibe which is always fun!

We drove to the beach today not expecting much for lunch. We've gone to ocean city before so I thought the portion size would be around the same but I surprised that it was a lot larger than I thought. I was full almost the entire day. The crab cake was decent & I enjoyed my meal overall. Would prob go to a diff place nearby just to try but this was a good casual lunch spot. read more

If you're looking for a place to eat I probably wouldn't recommend but definitely a fun beach town bar. Grabbed breakfast before heading to the beach and the food was very average. I had a skillet with potatoes eggs and brisket. The potatoes were pretty flavorless and mushy, the eggs were fine, and the brisket was tender but had very little flavor. With all of that being said the drinks we got with breakfast were pretty good, I had the chili mango crush. We also ended up coming back the same night when they shift to more of a bar than restaurant and it was really fun. They had an awesome band playing live music and we had a great night. read more

Giving an update to my last review. We tried out the starboard for dinner and drinks only this time around. Food was great, I had the buffalo chicken sandwich. They have patio seating with fans which was nice. Service was great and drinks reasonably priced. Didn't go back for the night life due to the poor experience last time i was in town, but it's definitely not too bad for dinner or lunch if in the area. read more

Food: with an extensive menu...you can't go wrong. Food and drinks ...360 of greatness. Great drinks. Great food. I had a dish that was as if a smash burger and eggs Benedict had a kid. Delicious. I also had 2 drinks. Drink 1: watermelon crush. Really refreshing from the beach heat. Drink 2: the thing that they're known for...their bloody marry. This one could've been a meal within itself w the candied bacon in all. Service: our go to guy! Douggy fresh. Very personable. Great attitude all around. Ambiance: great location. Ample enough space for large crowds. And if you happen to forget your CC...no worries...as it will just go up on their forgotten cards wall. My family went here for my nieces 21st bday lunch. I would go back again. read more

Have not been to Starboards in many years. Stopped in for lunch today and I am glad that I did. Let's start with the renovation, Great, looks really nice and still has that beach bar feel. Greeting at door was very nice. Was seated right away and food and cocktails were great. The person that took excellent care of us was Cassie and she made the experience at Starboards that much better. We will return !!! Sonny G read more

bouncer was rude. Bartenders take forever. music was horrible. its a shame the owner let his customers he as rude as they want to be.

The starboard is a great place to go for brunch all summer long, and even in the off-season! I went this past weekend, and it was extremely crowded, which is the only downfall of this place! I was told it would be about a 45 minute wait and it turned into an hour and a half. Once seated the server was very quick and efficient which was great after waiting so long. Everyone I was with enjoyed their food options! They have a huge breakfast menu and lunch as well! There's something for everyone, no matter your dietary restrictions are. They also have an epic bloody Mary bar with everything you could ever think to add! A fun place to hang and eat, but be prepared for a wait! read more

Everything was so delicious. The appetizers we've ordered filled us up. The cheeseburgers sliders, chicken fingers, and cheesesteak rolls all looks simple but let me tell you, it was far from it. Exceeded my expectations because they added a little twist to each item which enhanced these mediocre bar food into something more spectacular. The ranch dill sauce is made in house and I ended up putting it on everything. So yummy. The orange and watermelon crush was also very refreshing. Our server was very attentive. My boyfriend and I had a great time there. Looking forward to going back. read more

We went off season beginning of May so luckily the place was not as packed as normal. I love how open the place is, and I'm sure in the summer it gives off perfect beach bar vibes. We heard they had amazing orange crushes so we had to try them. We really enjoyed the crushes- but they make them with triple sec (where some do not) so they were sweet and refreshing. We went during happy hour - they had a bunch of great deals, and also daily specials that were a steal. We ended up ordering the Turgeon Tenders as a happy hour special. I'd have to say these were the crispiest, tenderest tenders (lol) we have ever had. The breading was perfect- I don't think these would be as good if the breading wasn't as crispy and perfect texture as they were. They had a sweet spicy sauce and old bay- perfect marriage of sweet and savory. I can't wait to go back again for these tenders next year. read more

Kudos to Shelly!! She is comedic, she kept the party entertained. The drinks were fast and the music just kept us rocking along!! They were just a little too goofy but the Mule came out fast the fries were crisp, I asked for medium well. Apologies for the messy pic I got hungry ok!!?!? I can't remember my drink but the mix was just right, it was smooth, it was strong, it kept the music on every beat ‍ def coming back again for a more indepth review read more

Best orange crushes at the beach! The bands are entertaining and service is great. Always have lots of fun at the Starboard.

CRUSH CRUSHES CRUSHED -- You must try them all. Watermelon, strawberry, orange and grapefruit are my go-to must haves! The bartenders are absolute angels to deal with the hoards of people that come and go. Starboard is a local gem and it gets quite crowded (understatement). To have that much patience is mind-blowing. Literally nothing phases them. They provide water to clients when they depart at night and will call you an uber/lyft/bike cart to get you home. read more

Visited Starboard on a weekend trip to Dewey Beach and it's a go to for breakfast! The french toast and pancakes always hit, the seating is huge and you have the option to dine indoors or outdoors. My only complaint is they do not sell iced coffee which broke my heart. read more

Def is always a good time each time... but not so excited to ever go on a holiday weekend again. I don't like creepy guys pressing on me and staring all weird and following me around even though my man was being obvious and moving me around to get away from them. Keep your creepy uncles home please. My favorite now is leaving and walking right down to starboard sauced for a slice. Sweet red sauce just like Grottos and Angelo's (Philly/NJ) Glad they serve Topicos for $3 but so damn sweet. Please bring in a different milder flavor like pineapple. Not strawberry guava. Dogfish head seltener is also way too sweet. Make Surfside and stateside $3!! Not so sweet I could drink a million of em anyways. Hilarious that chick band has been playing for like 25 years read more

Whenever I visit Dewey Beach it is a must that I have at least one stop to the Starboard to have an orange crush! Ok well let's face it...you can't just have one...as they are that good! If you like bloody mary's they have an awesome Bloody mary bar where it is DIY. They also have wonderful entertainment nightly. read more
