Came here with my friend for brunch the other day. I ordered the crab Benedict which looked amazing when it came out. I was disappointed that it was just a few pieces of crab meat in the Benedict instead of a crab cake. The mimosa I got was pretty good. Overall I thought my meal was mediocre compared to the other beach brunch spots. I wasn't too impressed. I also was annoyed the waiter was trying to rush us to finish but I get it it's a small restaurant where tons of people are waiting. He could have said something to the fact but just simply placed the bill in front of us and tried to take my friends plate away before she could scrape her leftovers into the box. My friend did really enjoy her Avocado toast! read more

This wasn't our favorite spot. After an 80 minute ferry ride we decided to explore the downtown Lewes area. There are a lot of quaint shops a few restaurants and overall a cool vibe. The restaurant had only a small wait time. This is why we chose it. We also were dining outdoors. We brought our dog with us so we had limited options. They have a very limited menu but we were able to find some brunch options. You can also order breakfast or lunch. The food felt very generic. The portion sizes were good however the flavors and taste just weren't there neither was the temperature everything was served Luke warm to cold. One of us ordered the bananas Foster French toast which was covered in a creamy sauce is very buttery Overall it was just OK underwhelming it could've definitely use the less of the sauce. The other one ordered the grilled chicken Greek sandwich. It had wilted spinach black olives fresh from a can and overall a chicken breast butterflied opened, dry and unflavored. The spinach made the bun wet that wasn't the biggest turn off nothing worse than soggy bread. Interestingly enough the table adjacent to us was commenting on their breakfast and they only ordered eggs and toast and they also said it was underwhelming. Fairly interesting since it was only eggs. I probably won't revisit the spot. 43.00 all in with gratuity it's what's expected in a small resort town, fairly on par with competitors . read more

My boyfriend and I stayed in Lewes Delaware a few weeks ago on vacation. We chose to stop at eggcellent because the reviews were really promising. They had limited inside seating, but a decent amount of outdoor seating. We ordered the morning margaritas which were really great. The orange juice in the drink tasted really fresh, and I love a salted rim. We then ordered the crab Benedict and the breakfast burrito. The crab Benedict had very fresh crab on top, but I would say it wasn't very flavorful overall. The breakfast burrito had a ton of avocado on it, and the potatoes it came with were decent, but the burrito was kind of bland. I don't believe there were any sauces on it (just egg, cheese, bacon, and avocado) so it was kind of dry. Overall the food was decent and the ambiance was cute. read more

The service wasn't the best when we went during the week, maybe because it was so slow- they had so many ppl working! It was almost like a burden to have us dine- no water served, had to ask for utensils. They have 2 coffee options, cafe con leche and black coffee, with creamer at the table. Coffee was burnt tasting and served in glass mugs (not the best considering it is a hot liquid). Decent food selection. read more

Looked like it could have been good food but I wouldn't know because I left after sitting down and talking to the waiter. They don't like substitutes. I don't like tomatoes. So in order to swap it out with another vegetable I do like I'd have to pay $1.50 extra. Seemed kind of ridiculous with the prices you're already paying there. I went someplace else that was much easier to order from. read more

Wish I had tried this place sooner while I was visiting. Service was friendly, responsive and attentive. The restaurant is roomier than it looks from the front. It has a back patio along with a couple tables out in front. Public parking lot is front of the restaurant. Indoor ambience is casual and relaxed. Loved my Lox Omelet. Chunks of smoked salmon, onions, tomato, and capers, while topped with chunks of cream cheese. Pretty tasty and priced $12.99 was quite reasonable. Comes with a side of hash browns and your choice of toast. Definitely will come back here next time I am visiting Lewes. read more

This place is tucked away in Lewes, Waze app directed me about a couple blocks away. Just know there IS a small parking lot right next to the restaurant if you can find it lol. The walk isn't bad either way plus you get to see other shops Lewes has to offer. Ample seating both inside and out wasn't a lot of ppl but then again it was like a Weds morning. I sat on the patio, got a little breezy and they had some heaters that helped a lot. The food is more like diner grade food. Nothing super fancy but it did satisfy my brunch hunger. That French toast is a must try. I'm particular about my potatoes and theirs was kind of ehh. I'm noticing many 5 star reviews and "best breakfast in Lewes" sadly they must not have had a good breakfast/brunch to really know. The food is honestly mediocre. There are a handful of better brunch spots in DE I don't think the beach area is the best place to find them though in case you are specifically seeking such cuisine. service was good but took a little while for food, overall it was OK. read more

I longed for a break from the winter doldrums of dreary Baltimore, so I took a solo road trip to Rehoboth. Yelp helped a brother out with a tip to check out Eggcellent, located in Lewes, DE, a quaint town not far from Rehoboth. The name of this place tells you all you want to know. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was certainly worth writing home about. I had the avocado toast, which was not your typical green-slathered bread - chickpeas, eggs, pico de gallo and an order of smoke salmon finished it off. Not only did I devour that, I had the Eggcellent omelette and a side of fries. Pure greed! My only complaint is that I was too full to try another of the other dishes. read more

Went here on a suggestion from a few locals and it did not disappoint! The price matches the amount of food you get. The café con leche is amazing with their whipped cream, which has a similar texture to ice cream. For how busy they were, the service was great and our breakfast came out fast. 10/10 recommend. 4/5 stars only because the seating is very close together and could hear every conversation going on around us. read more

One of my new favorite breakfast places! Amazing: French toast, fresh squeezed orange juice (best I've ever had), bacon, and fruit bowl (very fresh, good variety, large in size). The crab soup is also wonderful. It is fresh but not too heavy with cream or overpowering. The french fries are crispy. Unfortunately, we did not love the two lunch options we've had. The steak quesadilla and cheesesteak wrap were both bland, under seasoned, and just average. I'm from Philadelphia, tomatoes and lettuce do not belong in a cheesesteak but maybe that's personal opinion. Despite lunch, I will definitely be back for breakfast and highly recommend you try it. Staff is excellent and they follow all COVID protocols. read more

We were initially seated near the stage where the music was so loud that we could barely hear each other talk. To their credit, the host was accommodating and moved us to another table when we asked. However, our server's response was disappointing. She made a passive-aggressive comment along the lines of, "That's fine if you move, I just won't make as much money." Not exactly something guests expect to hear when simply asking for a quieter table. The food was bland and arrived at different times. Some dishes were cold by the time they reached the table. Several drinks were forgotten, and we had to remind our server multiple times before receiving them. We also spoke with management about our experience, but they seemed largely uninterested and didn't appear concerned about addressing the issues. The one bright spot is the outdoor area. It's a great space with lawn games, a playground, and plenty of room to relax. If you're looking for a place to have a drink outside and let the kids play, it serves that purpose well. For us, though, the combination of poor service, inconsistent food quality, and lack of concern from management means we won't be returning.

We have been to Eggcellent, several times, and we love it! The breakfast selections are very nice and the servings are plentiful. Everything we've eaten has been delicious. Most recently, my husband and I enjoyed the cream of crab soup which was excellent - the best I've ever had! The service has also been wonderful! If you are looking for a lovely breakfast/lunch spot, with a great menu, that has outside dining [too], this is the place for you. I'm hoping they add a dinner menu . . . read more

Best little spot for breakfast while visiting Delaware. Place opened up for only two months. Got the French toast with cinnamon, sugar and granola and they near perfected it. My girlfriend took me here for my birthday and I am extremely happy with the food and service. We will be back here for sure. read more

This little tucked-away place was terrific. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the service was speedy. I would absolutely come back and recommend this place often! (Picture is of: Crab Benedict, Eggcellent Burger, and Summer Berry French Toast) read more

A new breakfast place for us during our Rehoboth stays. It's a modern, friendly atmosphere. We…read morehad to wait about 10 minutes for a table on a mid-June Saturday morning. Not bad. We each had a veggie omelette, one with egg whites and no cheese and the other with Swiss. The omelette comes with a portion of potatoes (they were fine), a small salad (nice touch, with a decent vinaigrette) and bread. We got English muffin ($1 extra) with one and an everything bagel ($2 extra - no cream cheese) with the other. The omelette was large, with good portion of filling, including spinach and tomato. I don't know if they use an especially good Swiss cheese, but it "popped". The coffee here (Segafredo) was really good. A medium blend, but flavorful and rich. I really enjoyed the coffee and plan to buy some when I get home. The service here is very good. There's one place we go to once whenever we visit Rehoboth, both because it's solid and for nostalgia (Robin Hood). That will remain our first place. But I think we found our place for the second breakfast. It's a bit more expensive than some (by a couple of dollars), but the portions are large, the food is good and the coffee is great.

We were happily greeted by Matt the host who is always so pleasant and accommodating! This was followed by the wonderful service by Emilia. Additionally, Cristian who remembered I liked jalapeños which they previously they did not carry but now do. He let me know and quickly got me some. That's amazing!! Who does that? They do as they really care about their customers and it shows. Just like Server Alex who is so friendly and came over to check on us! If you haven't tried Breakfast Guru you are missing a fantastic breakfast spot!!

This came highly recommended from an old coworker so had to pop in…read more Perfect for a quick bite off the beach. Friend went over there for a turkey sandwich the other day. He said it was decent. So today we stopped in for a sit down. Got the basket of fried fish, shrimp, fries and chicken. Pretty good. Be careful it was the hottest food I've ever had. I had to stop eating and set a timer! You don't get much sauce with the basket. I didn't ask for more but I guarantee it would've been a charge. Since it was single servings Ken's sauces. I think we would've been better off splitting this. It was a good amount of food. Also got the mango matcha. That was good. Finding most drinks down here are really sweet. Is that because we're going south? Wife got a turkey BLT and she liked it. Her only complaint was how much meat was on it. In my opinion that's not a bad thing. A packed sandwich is what you want. Is there a reason you only get bottled water on Dewey Beach? We were not given the option of glasses and then it's $1 a bottle. I'm fine with it if I know ahead of time. Nice open seating. Perfect when there is a breeze. Plenty of Nu metal playing. So overall it's a good quick fix for the beach.

The food and coffee was excellent, which I demand and to my surprise, it was perfect. Kudos to the new ownership for running a tight ship! We will make this place one of our regular for breakfast or lunch. Thank you for not disappointing us.

Bad food, even worse service, and falling apart building. DO NOT GO!…read more Absolutely HORRIBLE service. The middle aged woman said she owned the place with her mom. I guess that's an exceptional excuse to them to treat customers like dirt on their shoes. Took order, was snarky and rude, took an HOUR to come back with our food- just eggs and home fries. There were about 3 other tables there...at 9 am, not busy. Could have made it so much better and in 5 mins at home. And the food was not worth the wait at all. Toast was so dry not even jelly could save it. Runny eggs were hard as rocks not runny at all. We finished our food and waited 30 min for a check. I had to go find the workers and ask for one. 10 min after that did they actually bring it to us. The restaurant itself was out of date and old- especially the ceiling looked like it was ready to fall in on us. I would never ever recommend this place.

First rule: if you're not on vacation time get on it or find something else! They will get to you and you'll probably hear every ticket before yours going through. They have about four tables and some counter seating, we sat at the counter right in front of her. The food is very fresh and tasty. We had a lunch mix of juices, smoothies, a BIG fruit cup, grilled cheese and a tofu sandwich. I must say it was a very well thought out tofu sandwich! Tofu had a turmeric and sort of curry seasoning and was firm and warm. A bit of nice pesto went on with spinach and fresh tomato. Really good. Gluten and dairy free can be had here.

But enough of that jibber jabber, no need to make him sadder, no more back and forth banter, I'm the clear Champion. I walked into Sammy's to begin my day, wanting to a simple breakfast sandwich but instead I ordered the ham and eggs. Yeah I said ham and eggs. "But NPSwizzle again?" Yeah, again, I love my ham and eggs. I also ordered three drinks. A coffee, a water, and an OJ freshly squeezed. The tastes were delish, and the colors were so bold. Oh so colorful and bold like my buddy Joseph and his technicolor coat. I doubled up on my cup of Joe. My daughter ordered the taco omelet, and she loved it. She loved it so much that she wanted one to go. Kids. They're too funny. She says I look like a whale but eat so quickly like a bunny. The ham and eggs were perfect, not too salty not too sweet. The eggs were aplenty, and the hash browns were a treat. Sammy's is a staple, and I'm so glad we were able, to get ourselves a table, and eat some great foods while watching basic cable. The best part of it all is that it doesn't cost and arm and leg. Sammy, you fine person, you made a lovely place. A safe space where visitors can eat and enjoy at their own pace. This one is easy to grade...8.75/10, would definitely eat here again. NP$

We've been coming to Sammy's during our annual trip to Rehoboth for almost the entire time of its…read moreexistence. At the beginning, if I'm recalling the story correctly, there were two breakfast places on the Sammy's footprint. One was Sammy's and the other (I forgot its name) had flags and signs out front suggesting that if you ate at their place that you were a good patriotic American (suggesting that Sammy's were immigrants and - well, just don't eat at Sammy's). So, for years, we came to Sammy's and were pleased to see eventually Sammy's take over the entire space. But that's history. We enjoyed our meals and the service at Sammy's very much. This year - not so much. I got the chicken fajita omelette with side pancakes and also a side of turkey sausage. I found the chicken fajita omelette to be ok, the chicken was a bit dry. The pancakes were dry. And the sausage was dry and a bit hard. Overall, pretty disappointing. The coffee also was kind of meh. The service was fine, but not great - we had to call our server over a couple of times for water refills. And the place wasn't very crowded. Overall, I think I'll try Sammy's again, but there also are plenty of other breakfast places to try and I can't recommend Sammy's based on our recent meal alone. The food and service just wasn't what they used to be.

All joking aside we really liked the atmosphere and food here. Has a sports bar vibe but very much a beach, outdoor restaurant. Servers were all extremely friendly, checked on us often and made plenty of conversation. We started with the Cheesesteak Eggrolls, huge. Common theme with all the portions! Definitely a lot to eat as a starter, needed a little salt. Entrees were the Scott Van Melt & Famous Turgeon Tenders (on the Light Fares/Starters). Both were so good, I dare to say the tenders were some of the best I've ever had. Love spicy food and this scratched that itch! Super super tender. Only negative, not really a negative more of a small disappointment were the crushes. Everyone had said this was the place to go, they market themselves as the best. These were extremely liquor forward, maybe just a heavy pour, but not at all our favorite. Wish there was a bit more flavor, orange and bourbon were the ones we tried.

I also limit my salt intake these days so keep that in mind when reading my assessment. I got pink lemonade that tasted like sewer water. Which is why I assume the either give you bottled water or add alcohol to everything else. Service was great and quick! Very loud in there though. Good place for a large group.
