Woody's is famous for their crab cakes and I will attest that they are the best around. They are the real deal. No nonsense or pretense. It is a local bar for all ages so you can always find a little local color if you wish. Off season or mid week in the summer is probably the best time to go.
VERY casual.

Yet another of our favorites that is quite unpretentious. . It is hidden behind the Dollar General store in Milton, but you can't beat the food and probably need a reservation. Locals flock here which is always a good sign. Fair prices for New Orleans style cuisine served casually.,

This is a great little find for an interesting fresh breakfast menu . Excellent smoothies and coffee. It is in an old Victorian beach house and it is lovely to sit on the porch in the morning and watch Rehoboth wake up. Stones throw from the boardwalk. Yummy and satisfying.

Big Fish Grill is a very popular and delicious eatery. As you might imagine they specialize in anything that comes from the sea, but have a varied menu as well. It is always busy, so there may be a wait, but they do an amazing job of getting food to you quickly. Service is always pleasant. Food is consistently good.

We like Fish On. It is part of a local conglomerate of good eateries. It is large and industrial in design. Food is interesting and delicious and parking is not an issue as it is at many other places. It is 5 minutes from the house, so if you are hungry NOW, may be a good choice They also have bar seating if the tables are full.

Lupo has some of the most wonderful sauces I have ever experienced. As the name suggests, they do cater to the seafood but have other creative items as well. You can't go wrong . Always a pleasure. They are located right on Rehoboth Ave in The Hotel Rehoboth. It is small and cozy and has a metropolitan feel to it I think.

This is a very new establishment on Rehoboth Ave. Since there are a limited number of breakfast places in the area, this one has risen to the top. It has a nice décor and a wonderful varied breakfast menu. We have ridden our bikes over on the path and enjoyed a breakfast or two there. Wonderful!(but busy)

The boardwalk in Rehoboth is a great place to watch people.
There is usually entertainment at the large gazebo in the center of Rehoboth Ave. all summer long. There are rides for kids of all ages at the south end of the boardwalk and plenty of your choice of summer junk food to please the palate. Again, parking a challenge. If you park in the residential areas after 5:00, parking is free. Just a little more walking that way.

There are brewery's on every street corner these days, but Dogfish Head was a trail blazer and we are proud of what they have brought to the area. It is an interesting tour and story and unique beers for the tasting. Also a great place to get souvenirs.

Getting Around
This is an affordable and less parking challenged way to get from here to there. The new transit center is only about 2 miles from us. Schedules will expand in the summer months. The red line 201 drops you off right at the head of Rehoboth avenue steps to the boardwalk and ocean. $2.00 per ride. $.80 for 65+ SO much easier than driving and parking. We have experienced very pleasant drivers as well.
Will also take you to Dewey Beach or a transfer in Rehoboth will take you to Ocean City MD.
