Delaware's Dewey Beach is a spectacular sandbar community - on one side is Rehoboth bay, and on the other side there are the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Dewey Beach itself is a small town of less than 400 people, but it has become a popular tourist destination for anyone interested in water sports and beach vacations, and is the perfect spot for a relaxing family getaway.If you get tired of Dewey Beach, which is pretty much impossible, Cape May is only 30 miles down the road and Brandywine Zoo and the historic Kalmar Nyckel Shipyard are right around the corner.

Expected to go and eat good Margaritas and tacos after creating the reviews. Got really different and really good spicy white Sangria. Could sit and drink that all afternoon. Then decided to try the nutritional chicken after reading all the interesting ingredients. Soooooo good! Great visit made all the better by our server Eric who shared his insights on the food and just made the visit all the more fun and enjoyable with his awesome personality! Oh the guacamole was a amazing!

Attractive decor, mix between modern and rustic. Friendly waitress but didn't check on us much at all, menu varies day to day and the food is upscale, little pricey but not bad for a couple. Wouldn't be ideal for little kids

Great oystersLoved their Rubin sandwich. Might upset the hard core Rubin fans for deviating from the original, but this lobster variation was amazing. Decent wine selection. Our server Morgan was excellent. Bottom line. Highly recommended

The Starboard Restaurant is Dewey's most famous venue for fun, great times, and tremendous service! It has been home-awayfrom-home for most Dewey Beach visitors over our 55+ year history. The Starboard truly holds a special place in more people's hearts t

Weâve had a place in Dewey Beach for 19 years and have never had dinner at the Starboard. Breakfast and drinks there yes, but never thought about dinner. Theyâre more known for their bar scene, not necessarily for their food. We went there at 6:30 p.m. on a Wednesday drawn in by their special of $6 Orange Crushes. Their crushes are by far the best in Dewey. While sipping on these delicious drinks, we decided to eat dinner there. We had Sands Tots as an appetizer (delicious!) and the Jerk Cobb salad and the Black & Blue burger for entree. Everything we ordered was wonderful. The portions were huge so we took half home to eat for lunch the next day (yum!). The bartender and our server, Ellicott, were attentive and friendly. Weâll definitely go back again for the food.

We came for some fancy frozen drinks and Nalu came through. I got the back-scratcher cockail which is essentially coconut flavored rum and banana liqour. It was pretty delicous and hit the spot on a hot day. You can order poke bowls if your a fan of seafood. The bar had a fun vibe and catered different cliental. You should consider walking to the restaurant if your hotel is within walking distance.

Visited Dewey Beer Company with high recommendation and was disappointed. Food was interesting, nachos were great. Unfortunately was only able to taste 4 beers because the server was so slow delivering drinks to the table. I would have loved to try more of what the brewery had to offer. We were also left with some rude parting words from the staff members blocking the exit by the hostess station. Hopefully it was just an off day for the staff and this isnât the way things are always run.

Woody's Dewey Beach has been serving the best crab cakes and burgers at the beach since 2009. Located at the heart of Dewey Beach, our friendly staff is here year round to provide great service and our award winning food in a fun and friendly atmosphere!
Reviewed By Webbuzzard
Crab cakes are still the way to go. Best around. We were worried that it was going to be constrained if the front porch seating was not available, but it was. Even in the rain, the side panels kept us dry, mostly. If raining, I recommend seating away from edges, though there was only the occasional drip.

What a difference a year makes. Iâll keep it short and sweet. The margarita was lousy (more salt on the rim than alcohol in the cup), my Waimea rice bowl was lukewarm, and the waiter showed no interest in his job. The really concerning thing is that the weather is suspect, so itâs not crowded here; the place is completely over staffed to the point that theyâre standing around watching ESPN in the bar. I canât imagine how it would be if they were busy. Yikes.Thanks for the feedback! Looks like the atmosphere on this day really contributed to a lousy experience. When planning the schedule, we can't necessarily predict that a late July/early August day will be "suspect." We've got to staff so that we are prepared if it ends up being a beautiful day. There are times when mother nature may throws us a curveball and because we were preparing to be busy, it may appear to a guest that we are "over-staffed." We welcome you to come back on a beautiful day so that you can see these guys and gals at their best.We will take note of the over-salted rim and lukewarm Waimea bowl as we begin planning for 2020.If you have any other thoughts on food and how we can improve, please shoot us an email at [email protected]!

Reviewed By EricS74NYY
They were clearly shot-staffed when we were there. Though we had a reservation, it took 10 or more minuted to be seated. It took longer than it should have to order and be served. Now the good parts...we were thanked profusely for our patience, our drink orders were taken by the manager, food was being brought out from the kitchen by kitchen, staff, management, and other non-servers--a true team effort! Everyone was exceedingly courteous and friendly. And when our server finally greeted us, she didn't seem (or make us feel) rushed at all. The food was phenomenal. Their focus on fresh ingredients really came through, from their special peach-inspired menu insert, to the main menu, and the separately-printed special vegetarian menu, every item looked delicious, and what we had was. Highly recommend this place!Thanks for taking the time to leave such an amazing review! We will take note of your wait time so that we can ensure that these types of experiences are limited. We take a ton of pride in guest satisfaction and we are stoked that we were able to turn the experience into a 5-star one. We hope to see you again in the very near future.Cheers!
