Restaurants in Rehoboth Beach

“We stopped here for the first time, and immediately are sold and this will be our go to for açaí bowls. The owner was incredibly kind to my daughter. Helped her design her bowl and was just super friendly. The bowls were PACKED full of fresh fruit. Best we have had locally. Glad we stopped, will definitely be a repeat customer!”

“Always our favorite for sushi and one of our two favorite restaurants at the Beach”

“Absolutely delicious!!! I got the shrimp tacos on corn tortillas and the flavor was outstanding! My husband got the Birra tacos, he loved them! We will definitely be back!”

“This is my favorite steak place in Delaware. Have dined many times here with family and friends and never had an issue with food or Staff.”

“Although literally just steps off of Wilmington Avenue, with its entrance on 1st Street, this place is somehow a bit hidden, making it all the more of a gem. A casual and fun environment (I mean the men's room walls are covered in Bruce Lee posters!) with a really lively and inviting staff, is complemented by some truly amazing Italian cuisine. Everyone raves about their pizzas, but there's also meatball, soup, a pair of salads and a pair of pastas that isn't to be missed. The Cacio e Pepe may be the best in class, and I've sampled plenty. I'll definitely be adding this to my "must eat at" list when in Rehoboth!”

“This place is amazing. The service is excellent everyone is so friendly and the food was amazing! The gravy is definitely homemade the homefries are crispy and the waffles are so light and fluffy! 15 out of 10 would recommend!”

“Wow! I’ve been here before but I got something different this time and I am blown away. The Day boat Scallop dish is fabulous. The flavor mix of the scallop, squash, bacon, miso, honey, beet and more is incredible. Worth every penny. Our waiter was fabulous as well his name is Justin. I will definitely be back. I may have a new favorite dish in Rehoboth after eating here tonight.”

“Stopped in pre theatre last evening for a drink and dessert. One of the best espresso martinis I’ve had at the beach, paired with a lemon meringue citrus tart ( enough for two!) We look forward to returning!!”

“I had a great experience at the Rehoboth Applebees. My server Paul was very friendly, knowledgeable and anticipated our every need.Food was very good”

“6/2025 This time we ordered bowls for pickup, the ponzu glass noodles are so good, we also got spinach, chipotle chicken, balsamic mushrooms, garlic broccoli, and the chimichurri sauce. We loved it so much that we got it 2 days in a row! Dedicated gluten free for anyone who can’t have gluten! 5/2025 Employees were super friendly! We had smoothies and cheesecake, both were great. Will be back to try the bowls!”

“Celebrated my daughter’s birthday last night at the restaurant and the dining experience was amazing. A friendly, smiling hostess welcomed us upon entry and seated us immediately. Our waiter immediately came and took our drink order as we reviewed the menu. He delivered our drinks quickly and then took or order. Everything we ordered was on point, flavorful and seasoned appropriately. Oysters Rockefeller was great! The deviled eggs looked like they came out of a magazine, whipped and filled high! The Fat Crab Cakes were insane! Jumbo lump crab with no filler! Stuffed Shrimp were just as good! Highly, highly recommend! Best dining experience I’ve had in a long time!”

“What a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday. The food and service were outstanding.”

“Outstanding chef! Great dining experience. Highly recommend.”

“Consistently delicious every time we dine here! Occasionally the service can be a bit slow depending on how full the restaurant is, however it’s well paced and the wait staff is professional and kind. The tuna app is phenomenal! Perfect crunch from the crispy rice and the flavor is explosive! We also love the dumplings and pork belly bao buns! Crab rangoons are great but you only get 4. The ambience alone transcends you and you forget you’re in DE! Every time we’re here we visit!”

“This place is so very good and recommend it if you are not from here.”

“Wonderful gracious hosts! The gnocchi is absolutely amazing and the best espresso martini I have ever had!”

“We had dinner there tonight. My one grandson has Celiacs and he’s a picky eater so finding him something he likes and can eat is not easy. Our waitress I believe her name was Olivia and the manager were awesome. I can’t give them enough stars for how wonderful they were. I highly recommend this restaurant not only for the great food but for their staff as well! They are the best!”

“Delicious food and great service!”

“Had the butternut squash tortellini and it was delicious ❤️. I love this restaurant and highly recommend 🥰”

“Had a wonderful brunch today for 17 ladies and we couldn't speak more highly of the atmosphere, the service, delicious food and awesome drinks! We had a blast. Thank you, Rigby's!!”

“My sister in law recommended and we went on our anniversary eve and had a spectacular time. The food was excellent and the waiter, Antonio, felt like a long lost friend. As we were leaving, Bob the owner made a point of coming over and saying hello and chatting. Prior, As we were sitting at our table and enjoying our time and a wonderful drink, we noticed that Bob knew everyone that came in. We felt “left out” but by the time we left we felt like family. It doesn’t hurt that the food was really really good. We went on a Monday and they had a steak frites special as well as a filet special. The steaks were perfectly cooked and the sides were extremely well prepared. I almost don’t want to recommend because I want this wonderful place all to myself. Thanks to all and we will be back! Enjoy. We also met Christy who was as nice as the rest of the group. You cannot go wrong here.”

“Sushi is fantastic and the bartenders make an Unbelievable old fashioned”

“Cozy little brewery with food truck. A good place to finish a day of construction for Habitat for Humanity, around the corner from the taproom. They have an outdoor area, too. Clean bathrooms, too.”

“Stopped in for lunch today. We were seated immediately! Service was great and food came out fast and delicious. We did a cup of clam chowder and fish and chips. Everything was amazing!!!”

“Stopped here with my family of 5 for lunch. The fruit and vegetables were not only fresh but large and delicious. We had a variety of salads and sandwiches. My daughter also had the smoked salmon platter which was simply amazing. The fruit parfait was large enough to be a meal itself and the fruit was so fresh. The tomatoes in the sandwiches were fresh and juicy. The manager/owner gave us some cookies for our wait time. We will definitely be back before we our trip is done.”

“Best sandwiches at the beach, hands down. Can't go wrong on the menu. Look forward to them opening every year! (Can't forget the butter cakes, wedding cookies, or any other Italian needs you can think of)”

“Very happy with the experience here. Went in at 11:58 am to get lunch and experienced the noon playing of the National Anthem, which was done with a great deal of care and reverence. I didn't know about that, and I was glad to be there for it.

Food is excellent. Terrific value for the price, great portion sizes of quality BBQ. I had the brisket sandwich, but got a bunch of sides (green beans, collard greens, baked beans, and Cole slaw, as well as cornbread) and all were outstanding.

When we got back to our house to eat, the rest of our family smelled and tasted the food, and then insisted we get it for dinner. Next day leftovers were even better. (Get the pulled pork, save some, make nachos tomorrow. You're welcome.)

The service was even better. Even while busy, they were friendly. One error was made and they immediately made it right. Will absolutely return.”

“Went for the first time and it was delicious! Owner (or maybe manager) was so friendly. Our waitress was also really nice and helpful with helping us make our decisions. I would absolutely recommend and we will be going back soon!”

Kid-friendliness: my son is autistic and Amy handled him well. very friendly”

“Flavors, textures, cooking technique better than a 5 Star restaurant. Everything on the menu is Amazing. Their homemade sauces are like nothing I have ever tasted before and I am quite the Foodie! My favorite is the Thai Chili Shrimp Taco, I can't order tacos from anywhere else. They truly have spoiled me. The owners are wonderful people and talented chefs! I purposely drive to Rehoboth to do my grocery shopping so I can order dinner once a week from First State!!! It is a must Go-To!!!”

“Bring your own Ketchup. Fries are good, tasty and crispy, but salt and vinegar are the only options for condiments. No ketchup is unforgivable. Staff were friendly and service was fast. Watch for seagulls flying down from behind and from your right when you are facing the cash.”

“Always a favorite stop, can't go wrong with Ritas!”
