Henlopen City Oyster House is a highly-regarded restaurant in Rehoboth, known for its superb oysters and excellent selection of warm water fish options. The restaurant has received praise for its amazing food, with many customers recommending the lobster roll and oyster poboy. The staff are commended for their exceptional service, being friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. While specialty drinks and the key lime pie are highlights, some customers have noted minor issues. Despite these concerns, the consistency in menu, portion sizes, and freshness has been praised for many years, making it a favorite spot for regulars. However, waiting for a table can be challenging, especially without reservations, as parking can be difficult due to street parking. The experience has been described as worth the wait, with customers praising the fresh and high-quality seafood, especially the fried oysters and raw oysters, including local Delaware oysters. The restaurant is also known for its lovely atmosphere, charming ambiance, and great cocktails.
