This delightful little restaurant is a true gem for those of us looking to tightly regulate our…read morefinances while on a beach trip. I was shocked to learn that this restaurant was even able to operate for the price that it does when it literally sits right on the beach. Keep in mind that you're going to be served casual American dishes, rather than the more luxurious seafood that may be more typical of the more expensive restaurants in the Delaware Beach area (among Rohoboth, Dewey, Lewes and Bethany). With that being said, I thought the crab quesadilla was delicious - and I am quite glad that I paid a very reasonable price for it! I will also give a shout out to Lake, who was an incredibly courteous server. She was extremely amicable! Regardless of whether I am on a tight budget in the future like I currently am (though, surely, I won't be ), I will make it my priority to make sure that I visit this spot again!

The only thing this joint has to show for is, location, location, location…read more We were pleasantly surprised by our server, a very happy and pleasant, over worked, young man. Unfortunately with the limited menu selections he was not very helpful making suggestions. Nice venue with a great on the board walk location. Ok here's where it starts going down hill: My wife loves tacos. She ordered the shrimp. Her comment "boring". No sauces offered except ketchup on the table. Then, we were convinced to order the crab dip. It was not worth the $21! For a single app. We're told it came with vegis and bread. Couple of sticks of carrots and celery and toasted Italian bread. Well we needed some more bread so not to waste the crab-less paste. Oh O, that's 2 bucks more, for bread. So now this cheesy mayo paste is $23. I ordered fish n chips. Yeah at what's supposed to be a seafood joint, but it was the safest. The chips were OK, the fish was good, not greasy, but you get one piece. I guess "Fish" was singular. Based on the limited menu, we ordered safe drinks. I ordered a frozen Margarita with salt. It came in a plastic cup and a straw. Salt and plastic ...... My wife asked if they made Michelada. Our wonderful server had no clue nor did the bar tender. But our server did ask what is it. So we told him, Michelob and Bloody Mary mix. Simple. We even told him bring over the beer and Bloody Mary mix (virgin of course) and we will mix it. Disaster, another 6 oz plastic cup. The cup was filled with Bloody Mary mix. So my wife had to drink half of it to mix the beer. We were fine with it until we were charged for the beer and, a Virgin Mary $17! A pint glass would have solved the portioning and informing us that we would be charged for two drinks would have maybe added a star. Quite disappointing even as a tourist trap during low season. Well the view was nice.

We had dinner for a party of 10. We first ordered Ahi Tuna…read moretower, two calamari appetizers, and seafood soup. The Ahi tuna on a fried wanton, mango, cucumber, avocado, seaweed salad, with siracha for the kick! The tuna was fresh and tender on the fried wanton was delicious. The calamari was not the best. It was mostly batter. I barely tasted the squid.each piece was small and For our main entrees we ordered the following: Crab cake dinner came with asparagus and rice. The crab cakes were big with no fillers. The rice was not fully cooked, there was still some crunch when you ate it. So we had it replaced with mash potatoes. And that was so good. Fish and chips: for the price, the 3 pieces of fish were very disappointing! There were barely any fish for the 3 pieces. It was mostly hallow in the batter. Check out my pictures. But the fries were good. Imperial flounder: three from our group ordered this. The portion was big! The flounder was soft and tender, added the stuffed crab was even better! My only issue with this was there was barely any seasoning! Which was fine in this case because we had people with high blood pressure. We had to add a little salt and pepper for some taste. Seared salmon - dinner special. My daughter had it cooked medium, but it came out a little more than medium. There was no raw pink in the middle. The salmon was good, but it came out bland with no searing. This was good too for my daughter since we don't want her to get use to eating salty food. Overall, this place is decent.

Welcoming bar and restaurant on the Avenue! We were greeted immediately and the employees were…read morefriendly. Our server was attentive and you could tell she was happy to be there. She made suggestions, checked back, and made sure we had everything we needed. The menu has a variety to choose from and multiple specials. They only offered one type of soup and I would have liked some additional choices. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. They also have happy hour on Sunday The sandwich was a little greasy, but still tasted fine. It was not the chef's fault, since it was grilled and had cheese on it. It was served with potato chips, and I would've preferred a choice instead of chips, but that doesn't seem to be an option. The fish was perfectly cooked and served with fries and coleslaw. My friend said the lobster bisque was delicious. We sat inside since it was a chilly day, but there is an option for outdoor seating. The inside has a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. We had a great visit and definitely plan on eating there the next time we're in Rehoboth Beach!

Overall, food was good and reasonably priced for the area…read more Came Friday around 7pm in August, it's packed, everywhere is! But they have a parking lot attendant helping to move cars in and out. Be prepared to wait but for our group of 2, we got sat in 25 min. I don't understand how restaurants nowadays don't do reservations but this one doesn't. Got the Ipswich clam sandwich - incredible, and a must get! I did have to look up what makes these fried clams different than regular - and I guess these are fried whole instead of strips. Makes them very juicy and a great texture. It was $30 which I don't mind but it came with a bag of chips and a $2 upcharge for fries. For a $30 sandwich... I feel they can include the fries or at least a homemade side. I got the clams linguine which was tasty but not particularly hot. While our specific waiter was great, the restaurant had some service issues, food took extra long (our waiter apologized) and something I ordered almost never came (waiter had to ask for it again). Not horrible but just somethings to work on. Overall, we'd come again but I'm sure it's easier in the off season!

We first visited this location in November 2021 right after moving to the area. Based on my…read moreprevious reviews, you probably know that we frequently dine at Matt's in Fenwick Island, and we've also stopped by the Lewes location a couple of times. We love the Sodel and Matt's restaurants; they consistently deliver great experiences and fantastic happy hour oyster specials. For this visit, we dropped in for happy hour just after 3:00 PM on a Sunday and sat at the bar, which was wonderfully clean and welcoming. Although I skipped the cocktails this time, we shared 18 Virginia Chunu raw oysters for $18. I also had the New England clam chowder ($8), though I personally prefer the version at the Fenwick location, and a plate of six delicious lobster deviled eggs ($12). Our bartender, Hannah S., was exceptionally friendly and provided top-notch service. The total bill came out to $55 before tip. We both had a great time and agreed that we'll definitely be back for another happy hour.

My wife got the all you can eat crabs and she loved it. She is from the eastern shore of Maryland and loves crabs. It was her first time in her life ever having an all you can eat, and hopefully will be a good memory for her. We also ordered half a dozen crabs for the kids which they loved as well. I got crabcakes, the fries and corn were great as well as the chicken tenders for the kids. Lemonades all around. We would definitely come and eat here again!

I really hate leaving a 1 star but this one is well deserved…read more Lets start up with the ambiance because it was the least offensive thing. A strange fusion of a bar and seafood restaurant that fails at both. The tables were set with these massive boxes that blocked off the center of the table, the shiplap could use some work, the general artwork was disappointing. But oh my god the noise, it wasn't possible to carry a conversation absolutely the worst. Lets hit the food next, because it was the second least offensive thing. So, the crab dip we got was... burned, dry, lacking, small, and provided a half-cut piece of bread. The hushpuppies were just balls of dry grease that sat in your mouth and stomach. The crab soup was okay, not horribly offensive but the portion size was completely unacceptable. Barely even a cup of soup for $10? Okay, right. My wife's chicken was raw, not a little under, raw. The portion sizes for the platters are generally unacceptable for the price, a single crabcake for $27? You're right by the water friend you can pluck the crabs right on out so don't tell me it costs you $27 to take maybe a single large crab and dump enough breadcrumbs into it to dry it out. The only acceptable food item was the boiled crabs. And honestly thats not a complement, I love crab, and they're almost impossible to mess up so if you'd managed it I would have to demand a 0 star option. Now for what was easily the most offensive issue of the evening. The service was horrific. We were seated, it took 10 minutes for our drink order, another 15 to get the drinks! Then he comes back, takes our food order, and one would think that he would time the appetizers to come out first. Nope, it all came out at once so nobody got a chance to enjoy the apps which, honestly didn't matter they weren't good. The server came back to check on us a single time, no drink refills, no verifying the food was good, cooked right, etc. The genuinely worst service I've experienced in all of Rehoboth. Friends yelp only lets me leave 1 star as my lowest, I would really give this a 0. Tl:DR tourist trap with bad food and worse service. Avoid.

This was the biggest waste of money. $140 for a very small amount of food that fed 3 people, and…read morethey don't even steam it for you. I added in my own two lobster tails in addition to the 2 provided. Most of the seafood was inedible and of poor quality. I steamed the extra lobster tails together, and they were delicious. The ones from Topsail, however, were inedible, and we wound up throwing them away along with the clams. The only things in the pot worth eating were the ears of corn. Unfortunately, I will never order from them again. It was a total waste of money, and we were all still hungry.

First, we were greeted at the door and the young lady was friendly and had a smile on her face. We were seated immediately and the waitress came over to take our order. We ordered the crab dip, salad and a cup of clam chowder, which was absolutely delicious. The dip came with a generous amount of tortilla chips. The dip was very tasty. For an entree, my wife had the crab leg dinner which comes with 2 clusters and 2 sides... I had the fried seafood platter which came with 2 pieces of flounder, 6 large fried shrimp and a crab cake with 2 sides as well. Very delicious!! And of course had to get dessert to go...I'm sure they will be good as well! 7 layer chocolate cake for the wife and 7 layer strawberry cake for me, Definitely will be back 5 out of 5 on the overall experience!!
