AMAZING food. Go for Happy Hour, if you can get in! Get there early! If you are looking for a nice evening out, this is a good place to go. This is part of the Big Fish Group, but more upscale than Big Fish Grill.

If you looking for healthy food, shop here for your grocery items, but also a little known fact is how inexpensive their prepared deli section is. You can get an entree and two sides combo for $7. My husband and I are able to split the meal for lunch! Great deal!

While we have never had the crabs here, we do like their combo dinners, where you get to choose one or two entrees and two sides. They are VERY FILLING and let you taste multiple items. I think their scallops are some of the best in Rehoboth. If you like cauliflower mash, you need to get it. If you think you don't like cauliflower mash, they will change your opinion :-)

If you are looking for a Philadelphia style "hoagie" this is your place. It is not out in the open, but it is always busy and always good. The small sub fills me up and is bigger than 6 inches, even though they say it is 6 inches. My husband always questions whether or not I actually got a medium. They fill it up with a lot of meat too!

This is a tiny restaurant, but it has big flavors. And amazing margaritas! One large marjaritas, and I am good to go! If you like salads, the Mexican Chopped Salad is excellent. I have never been able to finish it in one sitting and it is still good the next day!
If you want to sit inside, get there early and plan to wait. It's ok, you can walk around the town of Lewes. When I say that you need to plan to wait, we usually wait two hours. And that is when we get there at 4pm! It's no joke! It's that good. If you are visiting in the off season, go during the week. It will be easier to get in. If you do have to wait, there is a local English Pub that we like right around the corner. They have good drinks to get the night started.

They are described as serving coastal Italian food. This is another upscale restaurant by Big Fish Group. We will go for happy hour here and to Stingray right across the street. You can try a bit of everyone on the happy hour menu. They have the best espresso martini's in Rehoboth (in Jane's opinion). Get the mozzarella "sticks" appetizer. Oh, and if they have the lobster risoto balls when you go, they are a must!

Cute little Italian restaurant with great food. We have been getting take out during the pandemic, since it is so small. Not sure if they have it all year or just in the off-season, but we got the Family Dinner special on a Sunday night. It fed four people, with leftovers! The smores tiramasu was excellent too! A great deal!

Since our favorite ice cream place went moved from Rehoboth to another location in Bethany, we use this when we are hungry for a quick fix. Pricey, but delicious.

It's a bit of a drive outside of town, but a cute and great experience. Not sure what to expect this summer, but last year (2020) with Covid restrictions, they did drive up. You ordered from your car and they brought it to your car. No worries about a line, it moves quickly and there are lots of cows for the kids to watch as they wait in line. My nephew loved the experience and they have good ice cream!

If you want classic Italian sandwiches and subs, this is the spot for you. If you want lettuce and mayo, this is not the spot. Matt loves this place, Jane loves mayo on her subs. But Jane LOVES their butter cakes. They are TO DIE FOR!!!! You cannot eat here. Walk up to the door and place your order, or better yet, call in your order because the waits can get long!

This restaurant has two locations, but we recommend this one, because it is bigger and easier to park. If you like live music, they often have live music. They have a ton of tvs and always have "the game" on that people are talking about. We consistently have great food. If you like brussels sprouts, you NEED to get these! They are the best I have ever had.

This is a great spot for breakfast. If you love sweet breakfasts, my husband loves the French toast and I am a fan of their chocolate chip pancakes. They also have really good fresh made orange juice.

If you love The Starboard's crushes, but you have outgrown that atmosphere and you want good Seafood, we recommend Starboard Claw. The scallops were delicious and my husband got two meals out of the ribs! And of course, you need to get a crush, especially if it is happy hour!

This is the second location and much bigger than the one in Lewes, but it still gets crowded. Still the same great margaritas. But don't forget to try the other drinks too, because they are rally good. I recommend the Mexican salad. I don't even add protein because of the avocado and how big it is! I can easily get two meals out of it. And this location has outside seating!

If you want a quick round of golf that is cheap and you don't need all the frills, this is a great local spot. You will often find the same group of men golf a round early in the morning. Even better, the price you pay is for all day, so if one round is not enough for you, you can keep going. Great spot for beginning golfers!

If you are avid bikers or even just casual bikers, you will love this trail. You can go as far or short as you want. If you want to complet the 15 mile loop, it is a great way to start or end your day as you wind through the woods, marsh land and Cape Henelopen State Park. You will go in and out of gravel pathways, sidewalks, streets, and on boardwalks over the marshland. It is a truly unique experience! Keep your eyes open, you might even see President Biden on your ride.
