Spotlight on Henlopen City Oyster House in Rehoboth

With delicious seafood and an extensive raw bar menu, it’s easy to see why Henlopen City Oyster House (50 Wilmington Ave. in Rehoboth Beach) is one of the most highly rated restaurants in Rehoboth Beach.  Henlopen City sources regional seafood markets, relies on locally grown fruits and vegetables, and only serves meats that have been raised locally.  This ensures freshness and deliciousness!  The only downside is that depending on when you go you might have to wait a bit to get a table since they don’t take reservations, but it is worth the wait.  The food is worth raving about, prices are reasonable, and the service is great.  Henlopen City Oyster House is a great choice for any occasion.  The restaurant opens at 3pm daily and begins serving dinner at 5pm.  You should definitely check it out.

Spotlight on Hopkins Family Creamery in Lewes

Hopkins Family Creamery is one of the top rated ice cream shops in Lewes for good reason!  The ice cream is DEEE-LICIOUS!  (And you can trust me, I am an ice cream connoisseur!)  You can’t get much fresher… this creamery is located right on the dairy farm.  The prices are high, but not absurd and there is a great selection of flavors.  Personally, I’ve tried moo cookies, coconut, brownie, and strawberry and all were rich, creamy, and delicious.  Located at 18475 Dairy Farm Road, right off Route 9, it’s not too far off the beaten path, and the atmosphere is great too.  There is a picnic area to enjoy your ice cream, a play area for kids, and a lot of times you can even see the cows!  If you haven’t tried Hopkins Family Creamery yet, you definitely should.  I love that it’s family owned, and it’s some of the best ice cream around!

Spotlight on Taste of Italy in Rehoboth Beach & Lewes

Yesterday I suggested 5 mid-priced restaurants to try in Rehoboth. Today I want to turn the spotlight on a sixth. Touch of Italy offers specialty cheeses, meats, pasta, and pastries all made fresh. Their hero sandwiches are made to order and get rave reviews. In several places that I checked, Touch of Italy was the highest rated restaurant in Rehoboth Beach and if you’ve ever ordered one of their sandwiches, it’s easy to see why. The Rehoboth location (33A Baltimore Ave.) specializes in carry-out orders, but if you prefer table service you can try their Lewes location (101 2nd Street). Next time you’re in the mood for a delicious sandwich, be sure to check them out!

5 Mid-Priced Restaurants in Rehoboth

It’s no secret that there are tons of restaurants in Rehoboth. In fact, I could probably write about 5 every day and still have plenty to write about, but without further ado here are five mid-priced places worth trying:

It’s no secret that there are tons of restaurants in Rehoboth.  In fact, I could probably write about 5 every day and still have plenty to write about, but without further ado here are five mid-priced places worth trying:

1. The Greene Turtle
Located right on the boardwalk (101 S. Boardwalk) diners at The Greene Turtle experience amazing views of the beach and boardwalk while enjoying their meals. Open from 11am-9pm during the week and 11am-11pm on Friday and Saturday, The Greene Turtle has a wide selection of food and drink, most of which are reasonably priced.  What the menu lacks in ingenuity (it is a chain restaurant, after all) it more than makes up for with atmosphere and location.  I highly recommend you check it out!

2.  Obie’s By The Sea
Obie’s is a local favorite right along the boardwalk (Boardwalk & Olive Ave.) that offers casual indoor and outdoor dining.  Obie’s has amazing views of the dunes and ocean which are definitely enjoyable.  The food is classic, American fare and some seafood favorites!

3.  Iguana Grill
Located just over a block from the beach at 52 Baltimore Ave, the Iguana Grill offers delicious Tex/Mex favorites, some with a seafood twist.  They are open for lunch and dinner throughout the season (April-October).  In addition to yummy food, if you’re looking for a great happy hour, you might want to check it out.

4.  Hobos
Right next store to Iguana Grill you can check out Hobos Restaurant and Bar.  Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner Hobos has been described as eco-global fusion.  The food is unique and the focus is on organic, locally grown products.  Featuring custom menus for vegetarians, vegans, and others, Hobos is definitely worth a try, even if it isn’t destined to become your new favorite.  And who knows, maybe it will be your new fave!

5.  Rigby’s Bar & Grill
Located right on Rehoboth Ave. (404 Rehoboth Ave.) Rigby’s focuses on fresh, local ingredients.  With a wide variety of choices, Rigby’s is open for dinner and is a great choice for late-night dining on the Avenue.  Rigby’s also offers brunch on Sunday.  Dining in the outdoor patio is a great experience, and if you’re looking for a restaurant that will welcome your beloved pooch, then Rigby’s is your place.
