Restaurants in Rehoboth Beach

“Let me tell you, I am a bit of an açaí bowl snob, so when I say this is one of, if not, THE best açaí bowl I’ve ever had, you best believe me and run to get yours! I was delighted to have found this gem on my summer trip to the beach this year. The açaí is sweet and delicious. The fruit is super fresh and they do not hold back; they pack on the strawberries and other toppings generously, and the complementary water is a nice touch. And the fact that this is a small, family owned business and not a chain, makes it that much better. If you’re in Rehoboth Beach, go get your bowl. You will not regret it.”

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

“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!”

“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!!”

“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!”

“Husband and I had a wonderful dinner celebrating our birthdays at Shorebreak Lodge Restaurant this weekend. The restaurant decor is sophisticated and the seating is super comfortable. The owners Ben and Diane go over and above to make sure that you are comfortable and happy. Their craft cocktails are the best! Always wanted to try octopus and this dish did not disappoint. Everything from appetizers to dinner was so delicious. Everyone we have recommended the restaurant to has gone there for dinner and they always tell us how great their experience was. We believe this restaurant to be one of the best restaurants in Sussex County Delaware. We highly recommend.”

“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!”

“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!”

“� Thank you for coming out to our neighborhood food truck night, everything was delicious! �”

“We had lunch today. The oysters were fresh and the fried clam strips were phenomenal! Our waitress Jackie was friendly and funny!”

“Today was my first time in this beautiful restaurant. It was a rich and extraordinary experience. Everything was very rich and it is really worth eating here again.”

“My favorite! Best service food and decor”

“Lots of great, covered outdoor seating here, which was perfect for our dog, who was also given a bowl of water. There were things to keep our children occupied as well, like chalk and magnetic drawing boards, and the beer and food from the pizza and wing food truck was great. Very cyclist friendly too! Off the beaten path just a bit, but a great spot!”

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

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

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

“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!”

“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 son has Celiac disease and is a picky eater. We asked our waiter (who was excellent!) about ordering the shrimp skewers that could be added to the salad. He immediately said that they take allergies seriously and that a manager would be right over. The manager came to the table and asked about the allergy and what we were thinking of ordering and also offered all the other options that were gluten free. He explained how my son’s meal would be marked and handled and was fantastic. Our meals were wonderful and in 3 years of my son having celiac we have never experienced this level of genuine concern for his specific allergy and ensuring we knew how they would prepare his food. Bravo to exceptional customer service and food allergy awareness! Highly recommend for the food and the procedures they have when it comes to food allergies.”

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

“Phenomenal food! Attentive service and a lovely atmosphere. My first time here and I’m sooooo glad I chose it. Try the short firing stroganoff!”

“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)”

“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!”

“Good tasting food, reasonably priced..”

“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.”

“Food and drinks were delicious !! 🤤”

“This place is off the charts. Nachos are eye poppers. I didn’t know I liked Pad Thai until I had it here. Great service, they can’t do enough for you. This one is a keeper.”

“Food yum yum, service can be slow at times since there is only two servers and one food runner.
Center ceiling lights are too bright; it would give a warmer atmosphere if they were slightly dimmed.”

“Everything delicious. Chocolate chip cookies best ever. Tiramisu and cheesecake so good. Nice staff. Can’t wait to come back here!”

“I couldn’t wait for the moment to take one of our dogs to this shop! We brought back cookies last year for our pack at home. I took our GSP puppy during our recent camping trip to the area!

“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!!!”

“There’s no sub like it in Sussex County Delaware. We got an Italian with prosciutto, it was packed full,fresh and delicious. And the rolls are out of this world. Five star.”

“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.”

“Friendly staff. Attentive and quick at the bar. Clean bathrooms. Will go back for sure!!”

Living is a resort community it's difficult for families to find an affordable restaurant. The Chinatown Buffet is a wonderful family choice. They are a true benefit to our community.”

“Your grill cheese sandwich is out of this world, perhaps adding tomato soup to the menu would put this lunch time favorite over the top! Love your place!”

“We just happen to pick this place for lunch and so glad we did! The food is fabulous...have never had Mexican food that was so amazing I had the Chicken Tinga Dilla (quesadilla) and my guy Ed had the Beef Shorty Dilla.
