Dining in Rehoboth Beach
Put something else in your mouth.
Henlopen City Oyster House
They say oysters are the food of love, but honestly, after devouring a dozen at Henlopen City Oyster House, you’re more likely to be dozing off on Rehoboth Beach than embarking on a romantic adventure. Trust me, though, their champagne oyster shooters and cognac-spiked lobster mac and cheese are absolutely heavenly.
Chesapeake & Maine
Awesome seafood joint that brings you the freshest catch from its namesake regions. And let’s not forget about their stellar lineup of cocktails! It’s a seafood lover’s paradise.
Jam Bistro
Just a few steps away from Eden Restaurant is Jam, a super cool and classy eatery with a huge comfy bar and a menu that goes from light bites to full-on dinners. You gotta check out their happy hour from 5 to 7 p.m. – it’s totally worth it! Their panko-crusted calamari and pork drummets are absolute winners. Jam is the perfect spot to hang out with friends, sip on a refreshing cocktail, and have a great time.
Looking for a fancy dining experience? Look no further! This place has romantic vibes, white tablecloths, and gauzy curtains. And let’s not forget about the mouthwatering pork belly quesadilla and their extensive wine selection. You won’t be disappointed.
Purple Parrot Bar & Grill
A beloved gay-favorite restaurant and lounge. With its buff staff, karaoke nights, and thrilling Sunday drag shows, it’s always a party at the Purple Parrot. Located in the heart of Rehoboth Beach and open year-round, this local favorite exudes good vibes and a lively Key West atmosphere. Indulge in delicious food, daily drink specials, and an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s a lunchtime getaway or a night out with friends, the Purple Parrot is the perfect destination for a fabulous time.
The Pines
This place has such a chill tavern vibe. It’s all about being relaxed and laid-back, no fancy uniforms for the bartenders or waiters. The Pines, which is actually owned by someone from the LGBTQ+ community, welcomes everyone, even the straights. It’s like we’re all part of this big, friendly Pine family. And let me tell you, the menu is super interesting and diverse with plenty of choices to satisfy any craving.
Aqua Bar & Grill
Aqua is always buzzing with a lively atmosphere. It’s the place to be seen at Happy Hour, with a meet ‘n greet outdoor deck with abundant drinks and handsome wait staff. Perfect spot for a seafood feast too! While it’s crazy-packed and fun at happy hour, there’s always something going on, even if it’s not officially scheduled.
Lori’s Oy Veh Café
Tucked away like a drag queens junk in the courtyard next to the CAMP Rehoboth Community Center, this is an absolute gem for all you sandwich fanatics out there. Beach lunches are available to go.
If you’re looking for amazing Mexican in Delaware, that’s your fault. For where you are, it’s pretty good but bit price-inflated.
Cultured Pearl
Sushi with sass. Roll creations that you couldn’t even dream of. There’s even a rooftop lake. You read right, a lake, on the roof.
