A cool place. Basic bar fare. Crowded and noisy, but that's to be expected. I was here in November, I can't imagine the crowd in the summer.I'm always impressed when the servers do a great job under stressful conditions, and they did a great job. I ordered a simple burger and fries. Fries were decent. Burger was great! Cooked perfect and delicious.

So I only gave 4 stars because this is our first time. It may be a fluke. Everything was great. The food was great. The nachos were in the top 5 we've had and I would even go so far as to say in the top 3. The pulled pork was usual and customary. Done good. Layer after layer and every layer has some goodness. The service was great. Polite server. They even accommodated a couple special orders. We loved it.Parking: It's a common problem for the area. Try to avoid hight traffic times and it will be fine.

Food is very good and bartenders are so fun and friendly. Alex was giving us tips on all Fall and Winter activities in Dewey. We will be frequent customers.

Make no mistake, this is a Bar and that's all it is. I thought it was an upscale restaurant. Totally my fault, but still the Service was rushed by a young Server that didn't seem to know what she was doing. The food was standard Bar grub, with a very limited menu. The View is the best thing about it. I won't be back.

Great place. All sports games were on multiple screens. Locals hang out in off season.Don't let aggravated sports fans that want to watch their team bring you down, staff does their best to accommodate everyone.

Brought my wife a birthday cheesecake with a candle at the bar...very thoughtful. I had the Maryland crab soup which I did not like...it was literally a minestrone type soup with a few pieces of crab. I also had the herb garlic steamed clams, completely flavorless. Wife had a salad with a crab cake on the side, really big salad, crab cake was okay. She also garlic herbed roasted oysters, too much bacon, that's all you could taste. Really nice views, good service.

The Lighthouse is a great spot for delicious food, big portions, music, and a welcoming atmosphere.Overlooking the bay, and across the street from beach access, the Lighthouse is well positioned for a meal with a sunset view or a quick lunch during your beach day. Whether you’re wearing a swim suit or high heels, you’ll feel right at home. As I ate, I noticed that every single table had at least one person smiling, laughing, or showing some other sign of having a good time.The kitchen was extremely careful with my gluten allergy (I am celiac and extremely sensitive). I ordered the pulled chicken tacos with a side salad. They were so good, that I actually came back the next day and ordered them again! While there aren’t a ton of gluten free options, the waiters are knowledgeable about what is and can be made gluten free. Some other gluten free options on the menu included a crab soup, chicken soup, nachos, 3 other kinds of tacos, sautéed salmon, and various salads. I think everyone can find something here.All in all, it was a great experience and I will be back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

Great views by the water, wait staff was busy but tried her best to check on us. Food was subpar in my opinion.My wife got a cobb salad and asked to remove the pork from it. You would think they would increase the quanity of other things but nah . In fact for 24 dollars this is the biggest ripoff I have ever seen. It's a flat plate l with hardly anything in it . Come on now, at least put it in a big bowl and fill the bowl up. On top of that my wife had to ask for more crab because it wasn't even in there. The waitress brought back a little condiment cup that was half filled with crab. Keep the change ya filthy animal. Just remove the crab and all the other stuff and charge for a basic cobb salad like 12 - 14 dollars.I got fish and chips, which was supposed to be "boardwalk fries" . Meh ... it was fries but more like McDonald's fries with less salt. Fish was two okay size battered pieces. For whatever reason they didn't really hold up well . They kinda fell apart when you tried to cut or tear them in half to dip them.Overall your paying for a great view and or easy location.

Went for dinner Friday night. The steamed clams were tiny and tough like rubber. The fish n chips fish was good but salty. Overpriced food. Specialty seems to be plate loads of fries with no substitution. If you stay past sunset be ready for the vicious bugs and their bites!
