“Came through with the Irreverent Warriors hike on 9-20 and the staff was amazing and accommodating with us and made our stop there enjoyable.“

“The bartenders were amazing. The food was okay. The fish isn’t fresh and the oil they used was definitely old. I asked if it was fresh and he said yes. That is why I ordered what I ordered.
It came out dark and real greasy. The fruit platter was huge and delicious. The flatbread was good. The tortilla chips were stale. Not sure why they would serve them. The server was very laid back, nice but needed a reminder of why he was there. He had to be flagged down and it wasn’t busy. The drinks were great and the atmosphere was awesome. Great music.“

“Our group of 13 went to shore break lodge for dinner prior to the Rehoboth Marathon. We loved the service, atmosphere and food! Thank you for accommodating our large group as not all places are group friendly! We will be back.“

“Another fine meal at Drift. This time celebrating our anniversary, but this is not just a special occasion place. Our fourth visit didn’t disappoint. We shared the inventive and delicious mushroom yakatori, the luscious roasted carrot panzanella, and the never-to-be-missed ribeye with Diane sauce, roasted mushrooms and baby potatoes. Every bite and sip of cocktails and wine was simply delicious!“

“Had dinner here last night (5/2) and it was fantastic. Great selection of oysters (Fallen Pine were amazing) that provided my partner’s first experience with oysters on the half shell (she loved them). Wonderful cocktail list and our server Karen was fantastic. They just won a loyal customer on my frequent trips to Rehoboth!“

“Great place for a fun, delicious dinner. Loved the oysters“

“Celebrated my daughter’s birthday last night at the restaurant and the dining experience was amazing. A friendly, smiling hostess welcomed us upon entry and seated us immediately. Our waiter immediately came and took our drink order as we reviewed the menu. He delivered our drinks quickly and then took or order. Everything we ordered was on point, flavorful and seasoned appropriately. Oysters Rockefeller was great! The deviled eggs looked like they came out of a magazine, whipped and filled high! The Fat Crab Cakes were insane! Jumbo lump crab with no filler! Stuffed Shrimp were just as good! Highly, highly recommend! Best dining experience I’ve had in a long time!“

“This exquisite chef owned restaurant was an amazing experience. The food was phenomenal.!! Service was on point! Atmosphere was extremely relaxed for a nice dramatic getaway for my wife and I highly recommend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I own a nearby condo and use VRBO to get my rentals. I always include an “Owners Recommendations” doc for my people. I am MOST proud that I can recommend a place like Copps as a local option. Sure, if you are looking for a high end dining place, you are probably looking somewhere else. BUT if you want high end quality with friendly and honest service, from a local establishment, I give Copp’s my highest recommendation.“

“Friendly staff, great food and desserts“

“My guests and I did not go to Blue Coast expecting 25% off on Weds night. But we got it! We picked Blue Coast for its great food, lovely ambiance, and outstanding service. They delivered all of that! Again. Thank you to our server, Kelsey, and the entire team. We had a lovely evening. And what a surprise to receive 25% off on Weds night. We ordered appetizers and dessert to make up the difference of the discount.“

He was so friendly and took all of our jokes like a trooper lol. Food was so delicious and we will be definitely go back on our next visit to Bethany Beach!!“

“Went out with my husband for dinner and had one of the best meals I have EVER had!!! Amazing food, drinks and awesome staff!!!“

“In town for lacrosse tournament and had our team dinner meet up here. Our bartender, server Fluffy was the best, food was great, drinks cold and live music was perfect.“

“We were genuinely delighted by our visit to this hidden gem in Lewes. Arriving during happy hour, we were pleased to see such a wide selection of offerings. Our group sampled the fish tacos, Caesar salads, and shrimp starters - all served in generous portions and tasting wonderfully fresh. I went for the burger, which was a bit on the messy side but packed with flavor, topped with coleslaw and a tangy barbecue sauce. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. With reasonable prices and great service, it's hard to go wrong here.“

“The drinks and service are excellent Karl was excellent and friendly“

“We will return. Our server was wonderful.“

“Salads were good. Waitress was great, hostess was nasty. Shrimp was just okay, but the lobster roll turned me off of lobster rolls for a while. Had a fishier taste than fish! Tasted nothing like lobster, and served with that nasty warm oil, not butter.“

“We love this restaurant. The food has been upgraded and the service is friendly and accommodating. My husband & I have a group of Happy Hour friends that we frequent Seaside almost every Friday. Going tonight for Date Night.“

“Cedar Land & Sea Kitchen is the best kept secret in the Eastern Shore. The bar is also fantastic.“

“Monday night is girls night for our group of friends We’re regulars. We always sit in the bar. Just want to give BIG shout out to James, our bartender. He is so pleasant, attentive, and just one heck of a guy! Wanted to make sure he got his due recognition!“

“In my opinion it's a little pricey for a food truck food. $20.95 for a lobster roll that is on a piece of bread that is about (not exceed) 6 inches short. Food tastes ok though.“

“I came for dinner and ordered the fresh tuna and it was delicious, cooked perfectly. The cucumber sauce was a nice touch and the vegetables were crisp and not saturated with oils or butter. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, and I will be back.“

“Simple three person birthday dinner. Cocktails were good but a bit small in size, Maryland Crab soup was really tasty as was the crab cake sandwich. Dessert was also good Smth Island Coconut cake and a creamy cheesecake. Server was wonderful: friendly and efficient.“

“One of the best meals in a very long time! Friendly but professional and knowledgeable waitstaff (Sal was outstanding!), imaginative, well executed dishes and wonderful cocktails. Simply put - 10/10.“

“Jumbo Lump Crab 🦀 Sandwich was Delicious 😋💜“

“Flavors, textures, cooking technique better than a 5 Star restaurant. Everything on the menu is Amazing. Their homemade sauces are like nothing I have ever tasted before and I am quite the Foodie! My favorite is the Thai Chili Shrimp Taco, I can't order tacos from anywhere else. They truly have spoiled me. The owners are wonderful people and talented chefs! I purposely drive to Rehoboth to do my grocery shopping so I can order dinner once a week from First State!!! It is a must Go-To!!!“

“The calamari was the best I’ve had, the portion was huge and could have been a main course. The outside dining was awesome and the service was outstanding. Very accommodating to my wife’s garlic allergy. Would recommend this place to everyone. Thank you“

“Last Friday, my wife and I went to the paradise pub for dinner. I have to say, the service was extremely outstanding. Every time one of the waitresses that past our table , asked if we needed something or if everything was OK. They were all extremely attentive, especially one of the managers Kristen, I believe. I think Paradise pub should be extremely proud of the staff. The food was delicious. My wife loved her cheesesteak, and I enjoyed the flounder pounder, immensely. I highly recommend this place for its fun atmosphere.“

“Portion size was great, turkey was very good. Ham was very dry and really salty🥹 Stuffing was was kinda too wet.🥺 And string beans were undercooked😢 3 years ago it was all delicious. We were disappointed, I would rate the meal a 3/5. The workers seemed unhappy to be there, and were much more festive and excited the past 2 years.“

“Delish loved the servers and bartenders great food“

“Amazing dinner and best Manhattan ever!! Great service and we definitely recommend for a very special night out.“

“Food is amazing and the staff is even more amazing. My son and I were sitting outside of the bar area and I believe it was the manager that that offered us a more comfortable seating option near the bar. He was kind enough to take our picture for Valentine's Day. This is my new favorite place for food and drinks“

“Been here 16 years and since our family loves Chinese Food, we have tried every place in Southern Delaware. Panda is hands-down the best. The food is great, it is fresh, and the staff is very friendly.“
