Georgia House is a family restaurant well loved by locals.  The original Georgia House is in Millsboro (119 Main Street), but there are also locations in Selbyville, Milford, and Laurel, so chances are you’re close to one of them!  Serving classic home-style favorites such as delicious fried chicken, finger-lickings ribs, and their much-lauded meatloaf, even the pickiest eaters are bound to find something that pleases them at Georgia House.  Their famous cream of crab soup is a must… it is what put them on the culinary map after all!  All in all, if you’re looking for something new and different, you might want to skip Georgia House, but if you’re looking for a classic, home cooked meal that is sure to be delicious, Georgia House is the perfect place.

As a bonus, kids eat free on Tuesday nights and they also offer a rewards card that includes a free dessert on your birthday, $10 off on your anniversary, and a $10 gift certificate for every 250 points earned, plus a few more great perks!

Looking to try some place new for dinner tonight?  Try Big Fish Grill in Rehoboth!  This casual dining restaurant is great for families, business lunches, hanging out with friends, or, if you sit in one of the high-backed booths even a private date!

The food is well-prepared and delicious!  Their daily specials demonstrate their underlying commitment to freshness, and the service is great too!  They even offer special carry-out deals, if that’s more your speed.  Everything I’ve ever had at Big Fish Grill has been great, but I especially like the Lobster Bisque & Grilled Salmon.

One last thing I really like about Big Fish Grill is that they offer cooking classes!  The classes don’t run during the summer since it’s their busiest season, but they’ll begin again in October, so check back then!

Spotlight on go fish!, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

go fish! a british fish + chips shop on Rehoboth Avenue in Rehoboth Beach serves up British comfort food with style at prices that are wallet friendly…

go fish! a british fish + chips shop on Rehoboth Avenue in Rehoboth Beach serves up British comfort food with style at prices that are wallet friendly.  They’ve been called “the best dinner in Rehoboth” by The Today Show and “…one of the shore’s best eats” by The Washington Post.  Delaware Today called it a “best value meal” and also gave it the “best fish and chips” label in its Best of Delaware annual review.  This restaurant quite obviously serves up great fish and chips, but they also serve up other British favorites such as bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie, and their famous sticky toffee pudding.

If British food isn’t your thing, you might opt for the highly praised crab cakes, soft-shell crabs, fish tacos, or Maryland clam chowder.  And if that’s not enough for you, they also serve up some yummy steak and chicken dishes.

go fish! is so well loved that owner, Alison Blyth recently opened a second shop in Lewes — this little sister to go fish! is called go brit! fish + chips and serves up all the delicious dishes that made go fish! so wildly popular!

So head into Rehoboth or Lewes today and see why everyone is raving about go fish!  And while you’re there, don’t forget to order some sticky toffee pudding!

Spotlight on Blue Water Grill in Millsboro, Delaware

Looking for a place to eat in Millsboro, or just wanting to check out a new local joint? Blue Water Grill in Millsboro, Delware has a great atmosphere and terrific food…

In Sussex County, towns like Lewes and Rehoboth Beach get a lot of publicity, and for good reason, but the inland town of Millsboro is a great town as well!  Last time I was there, I had no idea where to eat so I took a chance and walked into the Blue Water Grill (226 Main Street).  And let me tell you, I’m so glad I took that chance.  It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

The atmosphere was laid-back and hip.  It was the kind of place that could be dressed up or down so that anyone would be comfortable.  You could throw on jeans and a t-shirt and bring the kids for a family meal, put on a suit and tie and bring your colleagues or customers for a business lunch, or dress up a little and come for date-night!

Atmosphere is great, but let’s talk food… that’s why you go to a restaurant in the first place, isn’t it?  Every bite of the food at Blue Water Grill was absolutely delicious.  I went for lunch with my husband and ordered the salmon sandwich.  I love salmon, and the sandwich did not disappoint, but it was the house horsey sauce that took it from yummy to Y-U-M-M-Y!  My husband had a burger and said it was one of the best burgers he’d ever had (and he LOVES burgers, so that’s high praise!).  Our entrees were delicious – even the fries were good, but it was our starter that left us wanting more.  The House Recipe Seafood Bisque was awesome!  I’m not exaggerating at all when I tell you that it was by far the best soup I’ve ever had.  We ordered a bowl to share, but we should’ve each ordered our own because we were practically fighting for the last spoonful.  I’m nearly drooling just thinking about it!

In case you couldn’t tell, I would highly recommend eating at the Blue Water Grill (you can check out their full menu here).  And while you’re in Millsboro you should look around a little bit; maybe you’ll decide it’s the perfect place for you.  If that’s the case, give us a call at Cooper Realty — 302-644-2266 and let us help you find your new home!
