1776 Steakhouse

We were all extremely happy with our drinks, dinner & desserts. Our server was exceptional! The activity level at the restaurant is very lively and only makes the dining experience more enjoyable.

They advertised it as something “special” and “amazing,” but it tasted like a cheap, defrosted piece of meat — and you could absolutely tell. When I mentioned it, the server actually insulted me by asking if I’d ever had steak before.

To make it worse, I still had a beer left when I paid, and they were already seating new people at my table as if I wasn’t even there. Having people hovering over me while I was still finishing was rude and completely disrespectful.

Overall, a terrible experience from both the kitchen and the staff. I won’t be back.

Service was impeccable. Steaks were delicious. Drinks were great. Would recommend this restaurant to family and friends.

We are new to the area and thoroughly enjoyed a great evening with our family This is now our go to dining experience

Great experience here over the weekend. I ordered the tomahawk steak, it was cooked perfectly and tasted incredible. I loved that they bring the cuts out to your table beforehand and explain each one. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly, the food was great overall, and while the service was a little slow, it was clearly just because they were really busy. We’ll definitely be back!

We have been coming here again and again with family and friends, and they never fail to deliver.
Their steaks are among the best in terms of quality and taste, without the traditional top-end steakhouse prices.
Is the Deco outdated? Yes!
Who cares when the services, food, and drinks are hands down the best, with prices that were set ten years ago!
Just tell the owner that!
If ever near the beaches, you owe it to yourself to try it.
You will do the same after trying this place, and will want to come back time and time again.

A hidden gem;
We love dinning at 1776. The food is delicious, the presentation is beautiful, the atmosphere is great with piano music in the background. The service is top notch. Terese is very knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations on the food selection. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back again soon.
Sincerely,

This is our go to restaurant. Service amazing Lighting dim and intimate Noise soft piano Not beachy! A good thing! This is not your typical place for vacationers with kids.. more upscale.. relaxing, great menu and food! One of a kind in Lewes! We hope new owners keep it this way! Don't fix if it isn't broken,!! Always booked!!

1. This was the very first time coming to 1776 it was my 68th birthday . I went with my wife 11/7/25
2. A few items bothered me .
A. Our.waitresses seem to be in a rush . other tables were shown the nice meats on the try that 1776 has to offer . Not us ? I would have liked to seen that. I was able to listen to the waiter and table next to us .
B. When talking about the specials and the sides for the night it was like she was speed talking. And she left so fast . I asked my wife did you get any of that? She said maybe 1/2 of it.
C. I did get there 16 oz prime rib and it was fantastic . And I had 1/2 of it left and wanted to take that home . When the waitress cleared the table the rush she was in. she pilled all the plates and other items from the table onto my plate . Again she was in a rush . So much for taking that prime rib home.😒
3. No other complaints the food was amazing

Always enjoy the food and service Tom and his team bring! My brother in law who is a Veteran (30 years in the Marines) was visiting and we knew 1776 was the place to take him.

We always have a wonderful experience at the 1776 Steak House. The servers are excellent, the food is fantastic. Our go to restaurant in the Rehoboth area.

We usually love this restaurant and have always had a wonderful experience. Our server was excellent. We were seated immediately. Our server brought drinks and bread in a timely manner. But the dinner took over an hour to be served. And the noise level made it impossible to carry on a conversation. So it was less than enjoyable for us. Our reservation is usually for 5:30 or 6:00. This reservation was at 7,. I think we will stick to the earlier dinner hour
