“Wow, I was blown away by the fantastic "Not Your Average Pepperoni Pizza"! This pepperoni pizza had just the right spice for an amazing flavor. Very nice atmosphere, good beer, and wine selection for a perfect afternoon in Lewes. My wife also thoroughly enjoyed the smoked Margherita pizza. If you like pizza in a relaxing atmosphere, this is the place come. Stop by Half Full when you are in Lewes for an outstanding pizza.“

“I hadn’t been to Lewes, DE since 1991-1992, so while exploring and seeing what has changed. I happened upon Irish Eyes Pub & Restaurant, which I learned opened in 1996. I never pass an opportunity for a pint or the traditional Irish meals an Irish pub offers. I was a bit concerned I might have to wait because the parking lot and streets were full. I walked in and was immediately seated. The inside is huge. Lots of seating. They were setting up for live music inside, so I opted for a table out on the deck and watch the sunset.
I ordered a pint of Guinness, portobello fries, and the corned beef and cabbage for dinner. Irish Eyes did not disappoint! The portobello mushroom fries were a hearty size. Easily could have been shared. It is no exaggeration that I had the absolute best corned beef and cabbage that I’ve ever tasted in numerous restaurants and pubs over the years. It was just fabulous. It is no wonder Irish eyes is celebrating 30 years here.
I was too full for desert, but was not rushed after my meal and was able to enjoy the atmosphere and live music for a bit. As I was leaving, I could see a lot of happy faces. People were talking, laughing, and enjoying themselves as one might expect. There were even a few who had taken to the dance floor in front of the live band.
This is definitely a place I recommend you visit if you’re looking for an Irish pub in the Lewes or Rehoboth beach area.

Parking: Although the parking lot and side street parking may be full, there will still be plenty of seating. Don’t be deterred, just find a spot somewhere and head on in.

Wheelchair accessibility: Irish eyes has a nice, gradual, switchback ramp that makes entry and exit to the pub and restaurant easy for everyone.“

“My husband and I came here for a date night on Friday of seawitch weekend and it was AMAZING. Our server was soooo attentive and sweet. She also never ever made us feel rushed, she spent time answering all of our menu questions and chatting with us even though the restaurant was busy- she was able to be attentive to all her tables while still making us feel like she had time for us (I wish I could remember her name- you know who you are though!! You told me the story about the walnuts in the pesto situation ?) oh and the food. SO GOOD. She told us it's a "from scratch" kitchen and although we didn't have a long wait for our food, even if we did it would have been worth it. We had Moscow mules also which were delish. Definitely try this new place out!“

“My family has been going here for years and we love it. They have a clearly labeled vegetarian section of the menu, and most of the items can be veganized with some subs. I like the Sedona veggie burger (have been told it is vegan). It’s a veggie forward patty and comes with avocado/southwestern toppings and side of potato chips and a pickle. I’ve also tried the mediterranean style wrap and like the hummus platter. Restaurant sometimes has events like trivia and live music, and is good for watching sports“

“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.“

“Food is delicious and expensive as always, but you have to pay for quality! 😋 the food and service were awesome. It was difficult to request a doggy bag cause i wanted to eat it all, but i was so full and then happy when i realized i could enjoy it again tomorrow! FriendIy server, knowledgable about menu, made suggestions, and explained terms. the atmosphere was a little confusing to me: i wished there was a little more lighting in the entrance area. Asian cuisine, but American pop music?“

“Rusty Rudders is definitely THE spot to go to for nightlife in Dewey! This is my second year in a row coming here, and it never disappoints. The music is amazing, with two dance floors—live music outside and a DJ inside. The drinks are good, and the vibes are incredible. Huge shoutout to DJ Knappy for absolutely killing it! This place gets busy, but it’s definitely worth the $10 cover at night. If you’re looking for a great night out in Dewey, Rusty Rudders is the place to be!“
