Food was great and Jade was a fantastic waitress. Chowder was on point and served hot . Tuna wrap was great and made to order .

This place is absolutely horrible. Customer service is absolutely distasteful. The manager small stature guy was totally disrespectful. We went for Mother's Day a lady fell. The guy was no where to be found. We helped the family call 911, stayed with them , asked for ice and waited for the ambulance. They had to move our table for the paramedics had to stop eating. A couple behind us had just sat down couldn't eat their food because the ambulance was there. They weren't given the option to move or asked were they fine. Management never came over and said I'm sorry or anything. We asked for a courtesy apology or compensation for the time our meal was interrupted. The manager came over with a nasty attitude immediately cut me off. Will never eat here again. read more

Esthetically this place was pleasing. When you walk in you are greeted by the hostess. I hope you have a better experience than I did. There were 2 hostess this particular night and they were contradicting each other. I was told we aren't doing to go orders and the other told me that they are but only in the bar area so that's what I did. I ordered firecracker shrimp tacos, scallops and shrimp risotto, chili wings, crab dip and a bacon burger. The best item of the night was the burger. Cooked perfectly and very flavorful. I can't speak much about the rest. The risotto was terrible, it tasted as if something went sour, the rice was mushy like pudding. The wings were cooked well my only wish was that it was bathed in the chili sauce. The crab dip was your standard dip, the peta bread was a nice touch. The tacos were done well, I wish it included a sauce to tie it all together. All in all the food was decent the service could have been better, when in Rehoboth beach I'd check this place out!

The name and décor are confusing. Is it pirate-themed, seafood-forward, American comfort food, or a breakfast spot with a painted sunshine mural? We'll never know. We started with fried calamari. Which arrived like overcooked bread orbs. Some tentacles were there, but they also seemed melted and crunchy. The dipping sauce was surprisingly good. My mahi-mahi tacos were cold and slimy and must have sat for a long time before they were brought to the table. Service is profoundly slow, and we wondered if we had been sitting there for days. The fries somehow tasted like air, and even the ketchup was shitty. The burger had a dense, meatloaf-y chew, also dry. The crab and corn chowder soup was actually tasty, as was the seafood chicken flatbread. But then came the bourbon on the rocks -- which, amazingly, comes with a $2 ice surcharge. See pic below. If you go, bring good friends, patience, and your own ice. read more

We like to include a visit to Blackwall hitch whenever we are in Rehoboth! We had the fried green tomatoes, which was a perfect blend of cornmeal and crusted breading with the remoulade sauce. I had the crabcake sandwich with french fries. Both the french fries and the crabcake were crispy and flavorful. One in our party got the fish tacos. The portions were large and she enjoyed the pico and coleslaw. Someone ordered the shrimp baguette appetizer for their meal and said that hands-down, she would order that every time she came back. One of our guests had the rockfish and asked for the vegetables that normally come on the salmon for a substitution. They welcomed the substitution and it came out perfect. When you're in Rehoboth or even Baltimore, give them a try. You won't be disappointed! Our server was very attentive, and the food came out quickly. read more

Off-season visit. They do not have a host during the offseason, but I was greeted by one of the servers and she was very polite. She eventually came to my table and gave me water and took my drink order before the server assigned to the table even greeted me. And I had been sitting there for several minutes. Sat at one of the high tops in the bar area and it took several minutes before being greeted by the server assigned to the area. I did order a pear martini that arrived with a pear slice that looked like it had been sitting for some time. The drink was horrible! No flavor, just bland. Simple syrup would have given it some sort of a flavor profile. The rest of the table also sent back their Pear Martinis. The service was slow and I believe it was because of a large table that had ordered just before my table arrived. That happens and I get it. But we ordered mussels that were drowned in a red tomato based sauce with some bits of chorizo and peppers and onions. I've definitely had better. The burger was decent, but you can't mess up a burger (or can you). Service- good Food-just okay Drinks-don't order anything too complicated read more

Food was very good. For those going in this heatwave, it is indoor and air conditioned. Stroller dropoff spot in the front when you walk in. Kids menu and crayons given, and the kids menu was actually pretty large. My kids loved the chicken quesadilla & chicken fingers. My family shared the crab dip, which was great, but the pita bread as dippers was mid. Would be better with something thinner & also add some veggies. Mahi mahi tacos were a 10/10. So were the firecracker shrimp tacos and the Apple & Brie flatbread & the chicken and peach. My margarita was too salty to even drink, but just my preference! read more

Review Title: Check your food! I rarely leave negative reviews, but my recent visit to Blackwall Hitch in Rehoboth Beach on Friday 6/20/25 has urged me to write one. This evening was unfortunately not an enjoyable dining experience for my family and me. We planned to have dinner at Above the Dunes Restaurant which we have been to before and loved! They were unfortunately fully booked due to a busy Friday night, so we popped into Blackwall Hitch Restaurant next door for our last family dinner down the shore before we left to go home the next day. There were a few people at the bar having drinks but not too crowded and the vibe seemed pretty good for a hot early evening in June. We did not have a reservation so we were super happy when the hostess said that she could seat us right away (4 adults + 1 toddler). We sat down at the table and the young server came right over to us. She was very friendly and took our drink orders right away. The drinks and appetizers came out in a timely manner, but the entrees took a long time considering there were only a few tables sitting for dinner. When the entrees finally came, the food was the biggest letdown. My mom and sister both ordered crab cakes with rice and vegetables. When my mom took her fork to begin eating her meal, she found a very large metal rivet sitting under her pile of rice!!! The rivet was large, metal, and it had some black grease or paint from the pot it came off of on it. How the hell could the kitchen have missed that when plating her food? Wouldn't they have heard a metal clunk on the plate when they put the rice on there? Or even when they cooked the rice didn't they realize a metal rivet was missing from the pot? We told the server right away and the manager, an older gentleman, came right over to us to apologize and said that he would take my mom's meal off the bill. We did not want to create a scene, but I personally feel that our whole dinner should have been taken care of by the manager since our dinner was ruined. We all stopped eating our food as soon as she found it out of fear of finding anything else in ours. I think we were all in shock at what she found that at the time we didn't know how to react but now looking back on the incident we definitely should have told the manager to take care of the whole bill for us. After her entree was taken off ($44 for the crab cake entree) our bill was $219.00 for the rest of the food we barely touched. My sister even had the same entree that she didn't touch. Her rice was in the same pot since they both ordered the same entree. Her entree should have been comp'd as well. None of us even took our food that we stopped eating home. Thankfully, it was a large rivet and not a small one and my mom was able to spot it right away in her rice without choking on it. My 19-month-old nephew was dining with us as well and thank God a smaller piece of a rivet/ or metal was not in his macaroni and cheese and he didn't choke on anything. Could you imagine the horror. Again, I can't help but wonder how the kitchen staff missed this before sending the plate out to us. What was supposed to be a nice family dinner ended up being very disappointing and not cheap considering we found metal in our food. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously. Someone could get hurt if the kitchen staff is not more careful. Pictures below of the rivet my mom found in her rice for reference. Best regards, Jeanine Robinson read more

Truly hit or miss here. The food is at times, good and then other times, very poor. I think consistency is key and this location doesn't offer that IMO. In ambiance inside is cool, costal vibes but the lack of knowing what you are going to get is a downer. read more

A cute restaurant near the Rehoboth boardwalk. Decent food but nothing memorable. The Faroe Island Salmon and asparagus were cooked perfectly. The Bayou Penne was a little overcooked and the pasta was not al dente. Make a reservation in advance if you plan to come on the weekend as they get busy. read more

I had a chance to visit Rehoboth Beach, DE. I took time to survey which restaurant I should try. I wanted the one that serve real food, not only street food style. So Blackwall Hitch is the answer. This place is easy to find and very close to boardwalk and beach. There are giant outdoor parking lots nearby. When you get inside, you would get first impression, there is a huge dining room and bar table with nice decoration and cozy atmosphere. Of course, when you were in a sea town, you really should to try seafood dish. Blackwall Hitch's menu has not many choices but enough variety selections. First, I started to have MARYLAND CRAB & CORN CHOWDER - Sweet claw meat, corn, potato, smoked bacon. It tasted so rich and flavorful. Then I ordered TRIDENT BROILER - Crab cake, pesto rubbed salmon, shrimp, butter whipped potatoes, asparagus. Overall this dish was good especially crab cake was very delicious, but salmon w/pesto sauce and shrimps were rather bland taste. As for mashed potato and asparagus were OK. Anyway if you compare to the price about $44, I think it was a little pricey. I also tried JUMBO LUMP CRAB CAKE - Lettuce, tomato, cherry pepper remoulade, challah bun. This one was very tasty. I am not sure how much, maybe around $30. About service, the staffs was fine as a standard. So overall this trip I enjoy my meal and had a nice experience, Nothing is a big dissatisfy. If you have a chance to go to Rehoboth Beach, DE and want the restaurant that make you feel comfortable, convenient, and enjoy the food. Try this one. read more

Pretty good but a bit pricey. The inside is spacious and well decorated. My toddler loved the helm hanging from the wall. I enjoyed the kale caesar salad quite a bit. The calamari was also very good, but beware that sometimes you will be eating fried hot peppers and not squid rings. The Maryland crab and corn chowder was on the salty side however. I couldn't taste any flavors other than salt. There were enough kids' menu items that I could find something for the picky toddler. Our server Will was also very welcoming and attentive. read more

I wanted to like this place a lot more than I did. We drove up to Rehobeth for the evening while staying in OCMD. After looking at the reviews I thought this place would be good, the dinner took a turn really quick. The hostess was zooming around we couldn't even grab her to see if we could get an open booth instead of the table she gave us. Then our server came seemed nice, but then when she brought our drinks over they were dropped and smashed everywhere, much of which landed near the large table behind us. Of course this was an accident that can happen, but the post smash was the concern. I'm not sure if it was because they were short staffed or the employees were improperly trained, but we got nervous someone would slip or cut themselves on glass because it was never properly cleaned up (even when we were leaving there was still visible glass and water underneath the table next to us). As a table of all people who have worked in customer service and the food industry, the safety hazard this caused was really unnerving the rest of our dinner. The server also needs to slow down tremendously, I get they were busy and seemed like little help and no manager in sight, but she almost fell quite a few times because she was practically running around (for sure jogging). This is a major accident waiting to happen. As for the food it was tasty and hot, the wait was super long, but we were also told by our server it would be a wait so we understood that going into it. This place has a lot of potential, but needs supportive management, more employees, and ensure the staff is properly trained in safety and possibly required to wear safe serve nonslip shoes to avoid the potential slipping that we saw quite a few times. read more

I cannot remember the last time I left a restaurant this furious. Ordering a bourbon should be a simple pleasure--until you find out this place has the audacity to charge $2 for ICE. Not a fancy sphere, not crystal-clear Japanese slow-melt ice, not anything remotely justifiable. Just frozen tap water. This isn't "hospitality." This is daylight robbery dressed up as policy. What kind of establishment thinks it's acceptable to squeeze their guests over something so basic, so fundamental, so insulting? It's the restaurant equivalent of charging extra to turn on the lights. If management believes this is clever business, they should brace themselves: customers don't forget being treated like fools. You don't nickel-and-dime bourbon drinkers--you lose them. Permanently. Plenty of restaurants actually respect their patrons. This one has made it clear they don't. Save yourself the frustration and spend your money where common sense and decency still exist. read more

Our server was excellent and so was the food. The wait time was minimal. It was a bit loud, but overall quite good.

It's cool. Mahi Mahi Tacos: 4.5/5 Delicious with a spicy kick. French Fries: 5/5 It's rare that my GF and I finish our fries. However, these were hot and crispy. We just couldn't stop ourselves. Crab Cake Sandwich: 5/5 My GF enjoyed it and she is picky. Service: It was great but it was also early and empty. read more

The crab dip there was little to no crab,and mostly cream. We got two burgers and mahi tacos, one with truffle fries and two with normal. The truffle fries were the only thing that were hot. The mahi mahi was overcooked and our whipped potato's were lukewarm. We went to talk to the manager and he was defensive and our waiter was annoyed that we were asking for the cold food off our bill. But on the bright side our burgers were cooked perfect medium rare, and the truffle was delicious. I had nice atmosphere nicely decorated read more

I came to Blackwall Hitch with my husband for a mid-week happy hour around 3:45pm. Happy hour is from 2-5pm Monday-Friday. I love that their happy hour is 3 hours long, but I wish the timeframe was shifted by an hour or so. Regardless, their happy hour drink prices can't be beat! I ordered the Anchor Cabernet and my husband had 2 different draft beers. As for happy hour food we ordered the fried green tomatoes. You really can't go wrong with anything deep fried! My husband and I were also excited to have some fresh oysters. We were told that there were only Chesapeake Bay oysters available so we went ahead and ordered a 1/2 dozen. Unfortunately, the oysters tasted like literally nothing. They were probably the blandest oysters we have ever had. If the oysters would've been better then this would definitely be a 4-star review! We would still go back again for happy hour and maybe have better luck with a different type oyster. read more

Came here with the family and really surprised to find a table open immediately on a Friday night. The chicken and Brie sandwich was solid, but not amazing. The mahi tacos were significantly better. The kids did enjoy their meals. The service was good and the place looks pretty good. The issue was with the table. Our four top was a "fancy" metal top table and here in lies the problem. The table top was rusty. And not in the sealed artisan way to make it look good. I noticed the distinct rust smell and couldn't figure out where it was coming from and it didn't become obvious till I wiped up something from the table. As pretty clear in the picture it wants a very good or heathy thing. read more

Blackwall Hitch: Walking in- The walls and decor made me feel as if I was waking onto a boat. Service- All of the food came out in great time and our servers were nice. Lemonade- The lemonade was really good, I drained it pretty fast. Meal- The calamari was crispy and delicious, and the sauce added so much extra flavor that gave the calamari a huge pop. The caesar salad was delicious, the dressing was spectacular with the romaine. The margarita flatbread was nothing special. The crab cake was definitely one of the best crab cakes I've had in the area. The penne pasta with shrimp and bayou The baked rock fish was really good, the grits especially. Blackwall Hitch is a great place to go at Rehoboth beach, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone inside or outside the area. read more

We went in randomly for a cocktail and some snacks. I mainly was about the oysters as that's about all I want when visiting coastal areas! They were very good and very overpriced at $45 for a dozen. By far the most expensive oysters I've had! My fiance got the chicken wings which were great! Drinks - I ordered the Dirty Hitch. Supposedly comes with bleu cheese stuffed olive. They were out. Those olives make all the difference between a great martini and something I can make at home. I wish the server has mentioned they were out, I would have forgone the $16 martini and gotten something else. The ambiance is pretty nice. More upscale, modern vibe. I felt awful as I used the qr code to pay our bill and didn't get an option for a tip. I would normally never stiff anyone no matter how mediocre the service was! So sorry! read more

Sorry. Just not good. I ordered a $16 old fashioned. I have no idea what I received. Place was empty, but they were out of 2 or their 4 IPAs. Ordered a caprese flatbread, and it tasted just like a microwave pizza, crust and all. Mild wings were ok. read more

Wow! I highly recommend coming here and it's kid friendly. First, the place itself is stunning. It's huge with lots of seating and the bar is huge with a couple of TVs. The staff is super friendly and our server, Ike, was amazing! He was so funny and attentive to our needs throughout our experience. He was very knowledgeable of drinks and food. He also went through and made some excellent recommendations. Also, I was extremely impressed with the teamwork. I saw everyone taking the time to run food and bus tables, which is admirable given the age range I saw here. A very lucky establishment to have workers like them. My husband had a few cocktails which he noted being really good. I was thankful for the cold wine, which came quick both times. The food .. wow! We started with the crab dip which I highly recommend. The presentation is enough to make me want to order it again. The oysters were good and I enjoyed their sauces. My kids enjoyed their meals but I will say it would have been nice to have a side with the pizza as it was a rather small portion. Therefore, I has to order two. My fish tacos .. well I housed them before my husband finished his which rarely happens. The flavors were excellent. read more

Service was great, our server was very attentive. But there wasn't many people since it's wintertime at the beach. Meaning our food got out quick. I got the Grilled Bone in Pork Chop with the sides it came with, the sweet potato was good but could use some seasoning and butter. The broccoli was perfectly cooked and seasoned. With the pork chop it was meh, cooked well, wasn't dry but really lacking seasoning. The sauce the came on it was bland, it needs something else. My boyfriend got the Firecracker Shrimp Tacos that he said were really good, the fries were really crispy, better than McDonalds for sure. The tacos were pretty good in his words, tortilla was crispy and so was the shrimp. All in all I would recommend but don't be afraid to use that salt and pepper on the table. read more

Got here when it was the early bird special (50% off apps and flatbread) and 3 stars is accurate at the price point + food. We got the shrimp flatbread which was good but nothing special. Same feelings on the other shrimp app. My drink, which was this mango lemonade mix was overly sweet. I ended up diluting it with my water cup which made it a little bit better. Shockingly this drink was $8, would not recommend unless you love the taste of strong sugar. Husband enjoyed both his drinks, a dirty martini ($7, normally $13) and The whisky coke ($5) but said he would not have paid full price for them. There's other spots on this boardwalk which we will probably check out later over this spot. said his drink was good (a little spicy) read more

We came the weekend after Labor Day at around 4:15pm and we're happy to find a nice restaurant with outside seating. I loved that they had high chairs, a menu my daughter could color on, and cups with lids for kids. The waitress was considerate and took my daughter's order in advance so she would get it quickly. It then took a long time for our order to be taken. The servers were nice! I enjoyed my Mahi Mahi tacos and their fries are very yummy. The calamari was overdone and there was more fried veges then actual calamari. The fried veges were good, but we were just craving the calamari. My husband said his swordfish was ok and his cocktail was watered down. The big negative was how slow the service was, especially because when we got there it wasn't crowded. If you are eating with children you don't really have the luxury to wait and wait. Tip: Choose an outside table closer to the building. Community patrons were having difficult with person space. read more
