“I had the grilled salmon tonight and it was excellent!! Served over a mix of pearl pasta, cheese, mushrooms and leeks. Couldn’t have asked for a tastier meal. Will go back again soon. Service and atmosphere was very good as well.“

“We had a very delicious meal at this warm, cozy place last night, which is in a beautiful historic home in downtown Lewes.

We were early for our reservation, so we went in the back to the Pink Pony bar area for a drink. Husband and I had very good wine, daughter had a limoncello lemon drop, which she loved. The bartenders were so friendly and fun!

For dinner, we were seated in the enclosed wrap around front porch area, with views of the town that was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Our waiter, Filip, was outstanding. He helped us make good menu choices, according to our tastes, and provided excellent service throughout our meal.

We started with the charcuterie board, which we enjoyed sharing. Husband and I chose the Chicken Cordon Bleu. It was fabulous, with caramelized roasted carrots, crisp tender green beans, all on a bed of pomme purée. Daughter chose a delicious pumpkin ravioli, which was leaving the menu the next day. She greatly enjoyed it.

We will definitely be back to this restaurant.

Highly recommend.“

“1st time there Friday evening. Food prices seemed a little high. But the choices sounded delicious! Overall we will definitely go back but I hope they will work on their food delivery. Meaning, we ordered apps, salads and entrees and we kind of ended up getting all of our food at one time. As far as pricing, well when we saw the amount of food and their beautiful presentations, it was definitely worth it!! Will give it another try!“

“Sometimes there are issues with consistency, but it’s basically an irrelevant criticism because they will quickly replace and fix anything or provide that portion of a meal for free. This is our go to restaurant and we have been here probably 100 times so that should tell you everything you need to know. Oh, and they have very delicious homemade ice cream that is truly made in the restaurant. It is very creamy and delicious! 🤤“

“The food and cocktails are amazing! Kara is the absolute best! Thank you for making my special Grandson feel so comfortable in your restaurant. This is now his favorite restaurant in Rehoboth Beach! And he’s a 14 year old foodie….LOL!“

“Today was our 7th visit since May. The Back Porch Cafe has become our favorite place for lunch or dinner in the Rehoboth-Lewes area. Eduardo is an artist! His cocktails are original and delicious. My wife loves their filet and crab ravioli. The risotto stuffed eggplant is the best vegan dish in the area and I really enjoy the pepper cured loin of tuna. At lunch, the chilled cucumber will soup is outstanding, refreshing and unique. If you're visiting the area, The Back Porch Cafe is a must!“
