DELICIOUS meal, had a party of eight & everyone had something different. The creamed corn & crab cakes were to die for! Don’t bock at the $99 crab legs , they are HUGE. 2” thick pieces of crabmeat !

Dana D

Primarily East coast oysters rule the raw bar and selections change daily. Grab a few dozen @ Happy Hour from 3-5. Great microbrews from local Dogfish Head & more. Lobster mac 'n cheese is glorious.

Tasteful Traveler

Great Happy hour , good selection raw bar , buffalo shrimp is different take on standard, Amy behind the bar is excellent.

Hilary Sedgwick

Creamed corn is the best I've had, oysters were amazing and the lobster roll was so good. Can't say enough good things about this spot. Between the food and the friendly staff .

Tasteful Traveler

Try the steamed shrimp and clams at Happy Hour . Always a good draft on special too for HH

Kian Lam Kho

Love this bustling casual seafood restaurant . Oyster is everywhere on the menu. I love it! From the fresh daily oyster list to oyster stew and oyster po'boy. Grill sea bass was excellent as well .

C B

The best oysters ever . Great Atmosphere and bartender was lively and made great drinks it was a good feel everyone there was having fun the menu was very enticing

Jess S

Perfect post beach eats. Gorg interior & phenom service. Try the oyster sampler , old bay shrimp , lobster roll & a glass of Albariño or 1 of 50+ craft beers . Skip the lobster mac&cheese.

Charletta Speaks-Floyd

We love the lobster roll and the fried oysters are delicious. Also, the ginormous King Crab Legs are my Dad's favorite.

Bradley Mabe

Great selection of oysters , from East & West coast locations. All the food is great and the staff works hard to make sure you're happy.

Tasteful Traveler

Great happy hour , but only til 5. Amy the bartender will take good care of you. Try the shrimp and the clams at HH... delish!

Katy Jacobs

Best happy hour in Rehoboth, but get here a little before 3 if you want a seat!

Anna Sotnikova

Oysters are really fresh; happy hour is a good deal . Culinary wise the dinner was a bit dissappointing: tried lobster roll and soft shell crabs .

D Volp

Amazing Lobster Reuben , Lobster roll , Mac n cheese & pulled pork sandwich !! Key lime pie was great & Beignets were ok.

Nicole McKinney

Seriously amazing happy hour (3-6pm) - you can't beat $7-$8 for 1/2 dozen oysters , 1/2 pound of shrimp , 1lb of clams , etc. Plus 2.50 domestic bottles !

Shannon Ferguson

Happy hour 3-6pm with $3 bottled craft beers , $3.50 rail drinks, $3 sliders , and $6 for 1/2 lb steamed spice shrimp . Gorgeous, scrumptious, friendly & fun! Be prepared to wait during summer!

Lindsay Mohler

Staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable . Atmosphere is casual and fun. Oyster house lived up to its name with the salty oysters I love. Yum!

Fernando M

Might be one of the best restaurants we've ever been in the US. The lobster rolls and the Hawaiian spearfish were just unbelievable!

WineCountryMuse

The seafood chowder is amazing! It's like a crab soup with tons of seafood .

Rachel L

Loved the lobster roll . Great shellfish selection. Clam steamers were also awesome

Paul Cunningham

Nice place. Good lobster roll and shrimp po boy , though the remoulade should have had some spicier. Great beer list .

Aly B

Red flag with the full craft brew kegs stored in the bathrooms . They have to be taken to where the tap lines are; I'm not cool with piss in my walk-in or keg box.

Eric Jaw

Lobster mac and cheese ! The lobster were super huge pieces and full of flavor

Deborah Schmidt

The smoked fish appetizer is sooo good! Also, try the Corpse Reviver cocktail !

Shawn

Happy Hour is a lot of fun, but make sure you get there for when it opens at 3!

Emily Schetman

Consistently our favorite restaurant in Rehoboth! Phenomenal shellfish -- try the potluck!

Awesome place! Great tap list and great food. Best restaurant in the area.

Lobster mac n' cheese is a must. Oysters as well . Everything is good!

Dan Freedman

Everything I've eaten has been very good. Great service too. A little too small of a place, though.

Emily Schetman

Love this place. Best clams I've ever had! Lobster Mac and cheese was awesome too.

F Ireton

Good oysters . Incredibly slow getting a dozen out though. Maybe we shouldn't have ordered the MA oysters ? We have been told twice they would be up shortly .

Chuck Gough

The orange crush was amazing and the pulled pork sammie was deelicious!

Stuffy atmosphere. Too busy to seat one person. Can't take oysters to go for 'health reasons'?
