Absolutely fantastic meal and service! We were in town for the weekend and ate dinner here two nights in a row! Each meal was superb! Beer is tasty! Bought a few 4-packs to go! Highly recommend!

Great food (ahi tuna sandwich )perfect tots, huge outdoor patio with area for kids to burn off steam, and a beer list where you will no doubt find something you like. Tucked away north of the craziness of Rehoboth Beach area. Two thumbs up from this beer guy.

This place seated our group at a table slightly too small, which left me sitting at the corner with the table leg between my legs for two hours. My chair was covered in weird sticky stuff which we had to wipe off. My chair was also positioned on the edge of a ledge so that if I scooted back even a little I would’ve fallen off and hit my head. Also they allow dogs which sucks if the people next to you have a dog that won’t stop high pitch barking causing everyone in the vicinity to jump every single time. They forgot to bring out one of our appetizers and we had to flag down one of the four people working to get it. They also completely forgot my order so everyone got an entree but me 😍 and there was no waiter to be found. We had to get up multiple times to flag down the waiter and beg for the check til we finally got it after like 45 minutes. Also no one apologized for forgetting my food which like it’s whatever but also??? Zero customer service skills. One of the employees was def high, he kept giggling asking if he could take our plates and when we asked for water, he said “ask your waiter” (we never actually got the water, unsurprisingly). They don’t split the check which was unfortunate for our group of 14 people. They also made sure to add a 20% gratuity onto the check despite forgetting multiple items. After we got the check, we had to again flag down an employee because no one ever came back to check on us. It literally took like an hour to leave this place it felt like purgatory 😭 Cant really speak to the food since I didn’t get any LOL but the seafood Mac and cheese I tried was eh — they said it was big and it wasn’t and it had like 4 shrimp 😭😭🤣. Anyway I would not come here if you want to have a good time (and be remembered. lol). Being at this place felt like being pranked; the lack of service of any kind was laughable. Don’t come here!

Big Oyster Brewery in Lewes is a very interesting place. You want to hate it, but you keep going back. It just proves you can buy everything off Facebook Marketplace or at garage sales and open up your own restaurant. The food is okay-ish, but once you have a couple of their beers in you and you’re feeling buzzed, the food is great. I talked to a manager about a minor complaint about my food, and it seems like they just picked him off the streets and said, “You're hired.” I'm not sure what his name is; he never told us he was just a heavy-set black man. Either way, I’ll always come back for the beers. I really don’t care how the management treats people.

Food was great and environment was fun and relaxing, highly recommended! If you have kids, they have a play area for the as well. Jackie, the server, took very good care of us and made sure everything was perfect for a pleasant dinner! Very attentive! Will definitely be going back!|

Do not eat here if you are hungry. $17 appetizer calamari was very small portion and mini calamari which the breading faked off as soon as you touch it. The $20 sword fish tacos come with 3 tacos and plain tortilla chips, and I mean plain not even salt. The saving grace is the atmosphere for kids which they have a blast. This is the second time here and I likely will not return.
