“We’ve been to this outback quite a few times. We prefer to sit at the bar when Luis is the bartender and if he is serving, we will sit at his table. He always takes the time to greet us happily. He Takes his time with us and makes sure we are happy with our order and service… Which we always are. He provides excellent service and is a great person! We highly recommend!“

“Capt’n Chucky’s is amazing! The owners are caring, helpful and motivated. The food is delicious! Hard to choose a favorite between their crab cakes, the shrimp salad or their scallops! Just writing this review is making me hungry!I do not live in DE but was in town visiting friends when I was given the chance to stop here on the way to the beach. I am looking forward to getting a chance to visit again just to get my hands on some of this mouthwatering seafood!“

“Had the best food and Service last night with 3 friends . Hayley was our server and she was excellent. We would definitely be back and will ask for her.“

“My first time at Gus's Crab Shack was back in December of 2021 when a band that i represent was hired by Gus to entertain his guests. Since that time, we have been a regular part of his entertainment lineup. What started as a spot at the back wall turned into a stage being built for all bands to play on and then with a new huge stage outside under a tent and then again, he added yet another stage outside under another tent. He started with just two bands a weekend and now has up to 5 bands a weekend. he has pulled out all stops in providing the best entertainment that he can for his patrons. As far as the food and service are concerned, we have no complaints. We always get what we ordered in a timely manner. The food is served hot, and beverages are ice cold. If we had any problem with an order, the staff makes it right very quickly. Gus, the owner makes it a habit to go around to meet his guest to see how they are doing and if everything is all right. We highly recommend Gus's Crab Shack. The staff is very courteous and friendly.“

“Grabbed a dozen number 1s today to take home and they were full, perfectly steamed and delicious. Friendly staff as well. Highly recommend.“

“Enjoyed dining on the patio. Great combo playing that did not blast your ears. Will have to check back next spring to see if they return.“

“When my company arrived from Kansas and Indiana in April, I took them to Crabby Dick's in Delaware City and they absolutely loved it! They especially enjoyed the crab cakes and Maryland Crab soup. I got my usual favorite, steamed clams! Our server's name was either Mattie or Maddie. Not sure of the spelling, but she was outstanding. We were there on April 22nd.“

“My daughter and son-in-law brought us to the Bayard House over the Christmas holidays 2024, and we were impressed-with the food, the service, the atmosphere, and the views! We wanted to do something special for our Army Captain daughter, Noella Rogers, when she promoted to Major yesterday. Remembering how much she and her husband, Jeff, love Bayard House, we called about getting a gift card. Chris Amon, (not sure of the spelling), Assistant General Manager, answered. When he told me that we'd have to come in and purchase it, I told him that we lived in Texas, so that wouldn't be possible. I was about to hang up, but Chris asked where my daughter lives. When I told him, he said that he lived close to her town and volunteered to hand-deliver it! Wow! He didn't have to do that! Not only did he hand-deliver it this morning, April 24th, he bought and placed it inside a card for her. Talk about going above the call of duty! Bayard House, hang onto Chris because that guy is gold! Everyone else, if you haven't tried it out yet, go get you something wonderful to eat at Bayard House! Chris, we look forward to thanking you in person the next time we come to Maryland for a visit!“

“Best BBQ we've eaten in years. Ribs were moist, marinated, and seasoned to perfection. Chicken was amazing. Kids couldn't get enough of the corn bread and pineapple ice tea. I can't speak highly enough about this shop and the great service. Owners have been cooking the recipes for generations. Its open on the weekends. If you've never traveled to Port Penn, DE your missing out. Its only 30 minutes south of Wilmington. Great place to get away from the hustle & bustle of WilmingtonNewark. And thanks again for the great service! Can't wait to swing by again next week ;). We still have to try the desserts, which i'm sure will be amazing. P.S. They 100% make an in-house bbq sauce that will knock your socks off! : ).“
