NOT Vegan FriendlyWas recommended to us by the Happy Cow App for having several vegan options by several vegan patrons.Was there today and they are Not Vegan Friendly.Went there today, it was slow. Mentioned to them I was vegan and looking for some vegan options. Waitress told us despite having a veggie section, they didn't have any vegan options, and when I asked about the veggie burgers (reviewed as vegan), she was not interested in determining whether the veggie patties were vegan friendly, said they could have dairy or egg. When I asked about veganising any of the wraps (as recomended by previous customers) she shook her head and said all of them had meat, I asked again could any of them be veganised, and she said no. Waitstaff couldn't recommend veganizing a salad; that's a first for me.Waitress attempted to help by asking another waiter if he knew any good local vegan restaurants.

Cute location. We loved dining outdoors without breathing car exhaust. Multiple vegeatian options, the yummy hummy was the best veggie option, delicious. Other veggie options were ok but nothing to write home about. We do not recommend the ceasar salad.Vegetarian options: Multiple vegeatian options, the yummy hummy was the best veggie option, delicious.

Great sandwiches, excellent beers, nice draft list, fun waitstaff, live music at night. Check their specials! Sometimes the sandwiches are glorious, sometimes just good. If you are looking for veggies, they do have sandwiches for you. I really enjoy the hummus platter. It's loaded with veggies (celery, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, salad greens, and olives) as well as pretty tasty hummus and pita. Worth sharing. My favorite sandwich is probably the California Club Dude. They are on Untapped for the beer lover.

When it's warm enough, sit outside! I have not had a bad sandwich yet. Tons of food so I always leave with a doggie bag.

Been to this place twice since it's close to the local theater in Rehoboth for a quick bite / lunch. First time I went, we had a decent burger and an okay soup (early December 2023).This past Sunday (February 2024), the food was terrible. Ordered the fish and chips. To be honest that chef should have been embarrassed to have that meal served. It was overcooked [burnt], greasy, and unappetizing. Will not return.

Very nice place - great location - reasonable food. We started going for their 1/2 price apps between 3 & 5 pm but sadly they don't offer that anymore. Now we hit the purple parrot for happy hour.

I like the nice staff, selections and freshness. Arena's locations are all (rare lately) plusses for the area.

Felt like a little hole in the wall place for locals; I was here during the offseason, so maybe it has a different vibe in the summer. But drinks were reasonable at happy hour, the reuban was great, and the fries on the side were hot and crispy. 5 stars for the bourbon cider slush, hands down my fave. Had baseball on the bar tvs, and they were setting up for open mic night when I was finishing up, so there's plenty to keep your attention beyond the food

If you're into sports, they've got ten different televisions playing games. But me... I went for the 11th television with all the beer on it. Not before I asked the bartender a stupid question and got a friendly answer with my lovely pint of Guinness (double pour even!). Good food, vibes, and the only place in town I found Guinness in the last 6 days. Loving it. New watering hole! Don't forget to try the death fries. We'll bury you on the beach if you can't handle them! Oh, I forgot to add, they've got metal tipped darts and a proper board - down a narrow hall where no one can walk in front of you. So, enjoy the game, enjoy your pints, and throw some darts!Parking: There's street parking to be had. It's paid when seasonal, and unpaid after. But just park a street or two over and you're good. Well... as of this review anyway. As ever, check the parking signs for updated rules and regulations.Kid-friendliness: You can bring older kids who are into sports, as the place is pretty beach style family friendly in the daytime and dinner hours. But little ones might want to sit outside where there's a bit more room to run and romp.Wheelchair accessibility: The whole walkway into the building is level and flat small stone concrete (check the photo I added). And the interior of the building is one level. So if you're in a wheelchair, you'll do fine. Enjoy!

Worst, virtually inedible sandwich. Kaiser roll was just a hamburger roll; the chicken was a dry hunk of tasteless breast meat. The sandwich was mashed into a total mess.I used parts of the sandwich to make a better sandwich later, but I’m still angry I spent 15 dollars on this trash. Stay away.
