Stopped in for breakfast and had a great experience. The pancakes made with the house batter were absolutely delicious--light, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the meal. Jessie, our server, was attentive and entertaining, which made the whole experience even better. Service like that goes a long way. Overall, great food, great service, and a spot I'd come back to without hesitation. read more

Goolee's Grille - Florentine Omelette & Meat Lover's Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

Great service and big generous breakfast combo portions. The Papa's Combo is great and has everything. We had their breakfast on our last day at Rehoboth and it was the perfect spot before we hit the road. read more

Your standard breakfast fair. Not too bad, but nothing fantastic to report. Although the service was good. I ordered the Platter #2 which came with 2 eggs, choice of protein, home fries, and toast. All was fine. But there was nothing compelling to want me to return. read more

My partner and i were looking for a new breakfast place this morning. We tried another place first, but they had a 20 minute wait. So we came to Goolee's. Sign says it's the place where the locals eat - always a good sign. We were greeted by Jessie, who explained the restaurants differences from other places - no frozen foods, cake batter pancake mix and home fries instead of hash browns. My partner got the Goolee's omelette (with bacon, vegis and provolone) and I got the vegi omrlete (one dollar more, with the same vegis but no bacon and no provolone - go figure). I "upgraded" to English Muffin from the bread offered and also "upgraded" my home fries to add onion and green pepper. The Goolee's omelette was $13.52 and my vegi omelette with the upgrades was $16.70. The omelettes were good. I can't say they were any better/different from omelettes available elsewhere in Rehoboth Beach (ex, Robin Hood, Sammy's). The home fries were good, but I don't see why you wouldn't just include onions and green peppers as opposed to charging more for them. The coffee was fine. But not that good. Overall, it's a decent breakfast. Tasty, filling. A bit on the expensive side. The Staff were friendly and attentive. We sat outside and it's very pleasant sitting in front of the restaurant. I'd like to give a 3.5, but I'll round up because of the enthusiastic Staff/owner and decent service. read more

Very sweet place tucked away on a side street in Rehoboth Beach. The owners were very friendly and provided top notch service. The food was excellent. We will go back next time we're in Rehoboth. read more

George and especially Ruby are fabulous hosts. Friendly, Accommodating & Entertaining (Drag Brunch!). Brunch was great. We had pancakes & Tropical French Toast. Rehoboth is a fun beach town. You can't go wrong visiting Goolee's. read more

Your typical resort town breakfast and lunch joint with the added bonus of a gregarious owner on site. The omelettes are routine as is the standard fare eggs, bacon and breakfast potatoes. The coffee, well, that needs some work. If it's not dinner time, and you're hungry, cone on over to Goolee's. read more

This is a place that you would like to stop in on your travels to the beach. The ambience was truly a local vibe with great character on the wait staff. They were very attentive and friendly. The western omelet was good. A bit dry in the edges. But the regular cook was absent and the pitch hitter did pretty good. The home fries. We're pretty good. But they would benefit from a bit more flavor salt or seasoning they were good but not great. The scrapple and scrambled eggs were good. The breakfast was a bit pricey but not out of range for a beach town. $45 for two. They could benefit from the morning wipe of the front glass from the salt deposit from the beach. $13.52 for a 3 eggs western omelet with home fries and toast. $3+ for coffee. The French toast platter next table over looked very good . I would visit again. read more

This is a great little place. Really nice people and a fun menu. My husband really enjoyed the gyro slices and eggs! We will come back again! read more

Really friendly staff, nice decor, and close to the center of town. We really enjoyed our breakfast there - they have some creative breakfast burrito and quesadilla options, in addition to the usual omelettes, pancakes and waffles. They also have a few yogurt/greek yogurt, granola and fruit items on the menu and protein shakes. A group with different tastes and preferences can all be accommodated by their well-rounded menu. read more

We visited three times during our five days in Rehoboth and we enjoyed every thing. Many great choices on the menu, fantastic service and the atmosphere is delightful. It's so nice to enjoy a meal surrounded by happy people -- both the staff and the customers. read more

Amazing amazing amazing. My partner and I went to Goolee's for breakfast. We were silent for most of our meal because we were completely captivated by our delicious meals. I had the best blueberry pancakes of all time. They were fluffy, the blueberries practically melted into the pancakes, the flavor was spectacular. Our server and waitress were lovely, super welcoming, friendly, and engaging. I will 100% be coming back to Goolee's Grill the next time i'm in town. If you're looking for a tasty and affordable breakfast you gotta go to Goolee's Grille. read more

Goolee's Grille - Bloody Mary and orange mimosa - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

I love this place. Restaurants in Shore Towns are a hit and miss but this one is a hit. We wanted breakfast, did a search and took a chance. Come here. Very standard staple breakfast which is the best part about this place. Biscuits and gravy? Yup. Pancakes? French toast? Omelettes? Yup. Eggs, breakfast sandwiches and varieties of breakfast meats? Totally. I had over easy eggs, sausage and potatoes, one girl got French toast and eggs, the other pancakes and eggs. All delicious. Our server was absolutely delightful and made our time here spectacular, with strong mimosas and a smile and delightful attitude. I thought he was the owner, but upon checking learned he was a server with his own athletic business. Such a great asset to this place. We come to Rehoboth frequently and decided this is our staple breakfast place. So good. You should definitely make this a breakfast destination. read more

I wasn't quite sure what to expect having never been to Rehoboth before, but Goolee's was good solid food, the server was helpful, and the manager/owner also popped by, very briefly, to make sure I was happy. An extremely clean restaurant as well. If you just want a quiet breakfast with minimal intrusion, you'll be very happy. I'm sure a large group would do well, as well! Cheers! read more

Awesome food and service!!!!! Everything is delicious. Jesse is the best. I have enjoyed every meal.

Loved it! Ordered pancakes-- very fluffy and large stack of 3. Got it with scrapple because-- this is Delaware! The staff were all very very nice. I tasted some of the home potatoes that I believe were with cheese-- I wish they did it more Greek style since the owners are Greek-- lemony Greek potatoes! However of course that does not go with a pancake-- but why not! read more

Goolee's Grille - Pancake and scrapple - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

$3.12 for coffee! Next time, take the cream. 3. Sausages should have been cooked longer. 3. Toast was ice cold, so the butter did not melt and did not come well done as I requested. 1. Eggs were perfect the white was holly cooked. 5. Potatoes were cooked with oil. 5. Charged extra $1.04 to substitute toast with English muffin read more

Came here for breakfast. Once we walked in, we were greeted with friendly welcome. I ordered the Granny's Special. It was delicious. I do recommend that dish. The staff were overly friendly and made you feel at home. Great place. Tony's girlfriend here, couldn't agree more. The staff is great, location is good, and they have a drag brunch every third Sunday of the month all summer long. I keep hoping to get here for one of those, haven't made it yet, but I'm sure it's amazing. read more

Goolee's Grille - two glasses of bloody drink - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

Off-Season weekend getaway in November lead us here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. With the small diner feel a classic breakfast was what we were looking for and it's what we got here. The pancakes were very good along with the sausage and highly recommend the unique home fries (more like potatoes). Very solid diner breakfast in the morning and will be back again! Also if your looking for a morning cocktail the bloody Marys looked very good! read more

Party of four for the country music drag brunch we really enjoyed the entertainment and drinks

Very pleasant staff great food great bloody Mary's great Mimosa. I had the "Land and Sea" which is an omelette with baby shrimp, chunks of bacon and melted cheddar cheese. Wifey had the Mediterranean omelette, spinach, black olives, feta cheese, green pepper and onions. Pics attached. Side Note: this is the first place we've been to where the menus were physically clean. In this day and age I can't believe how filthy the menus are in most places. Definitely add this place to your list of places to go. read more

My first visit I got the Greek Omelette which was delicious. The service was wonderful. After my visit, I fell and scarped my face pretty badly. The staff was wonderful in showing me to the bathroom, giving me wipes and bandages. They even offered a bag of ice, which I should have taken. I ended up with a bulge on my chin. They made sure I was ok. The next morning I can back and even the owner came to my table to say Hi. He said he was happy to see I was ok and feeling better. Everyone who works there are the nicest people. I had the peach cobbler waffle with a side of bacon. It was pretty good. I also love that the coffee was constantly refilled. Lovely place. read more

Delicious breakfast! I had the Goolee's omelette and my hubs had pancakes and scrapple. Cute little spot with excellent service

Decent breakfast spot near the beach. First off, great location! Can arrive early and park for the beach before having breakfast. Nice atmosphere and the server was very friendly. The food was average dinner food. Pancakes were thin and doughy and the Tropical Waffle was ok, but the restaurant used fresh strawberries, fresh bananas, but pineapple from a can. The fake sweetness killed the dish. If you are going to use fresh fruit, go all the way. Don't cut corners on one option. Due to the location and decent flavor it got a 3, could easily be better with a few tweaks. read more

Tasty gyro omelette. Super nice server! So friendly. Nice to get away from the chains. Seems like a place the locals go.

They would've gotten 5 stars if not for the snarly server. Food was excellent. We went for breakfast. The usual, eggs, corned beef hash, sausage gravy, all very tasty. I asked for "crispy bacon" which is fairly universal meaning I want it crispy. It came out not crispy. I asked the server if it was possible to be made crispy without burning it. She snapped back "you want it burnt?" I said no. Crispy is not burnt but if they can't make it crispy without burning, then nevermind. She took the bacon away, came back with it lightly closer to crispy but between the lousy thin bacon and not cooked right, I only ate 2 of the 4 pieces. She never asked me if it was ok or why I didn't eat it anyway. I'll probably come back. Maybe she won't be there next time or I can ask for a different server. It's a shame, the food is good. read more

Service was great. Except, when we complained about the food, they did nothing about it. Like fresh hash browns since the ones served were from a dirty grill. Don't understand why Grill already nasty at 7:30am. There is a 3.5% credit card fee they don't tell you about until you get your bill. read more

Solid breakfast! This is a great stop if you are looking for a great breakfast! The waffles were amazing, and eggs and bacon hit the spot!

This may be one of the best breakfasts out I've had in ages! Small lil joint on 1st! Small and quaint. I'll post pics of the menu. I ordered scrambled eggs with cheese and mushrooms and scrapple which came with home fries and toast. My partner order creamed chipped beef which also came with home fries! Let's talk about the potatoes...the homefries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. We requested they be crispy and they delivered. In my eggs the mushrooms were sautéed perfectly. The toast is Texas style (sliced thick). My partners creamed chipped beef was good and flavorful and also a large portion. The coffee was awesome. Better than most restaurant grade coffee. Fresh cream was brought to the table, not those lil annoying capsules. The food came out quick and hot. Our waitress was friendly. The owner was also visible and in the dining room talking with diners. Stopped in again...loved this place 03/19 had the Papa for breakfast. I'll post a pic! Omg it was great and lots of food once again. read more

An amazing breakfast that you could tell was made with love. Food came out seasoned perfectly (which I LOVED) and it was just absolutely amazing. Each bite was delicious in itself. The staff was super friendly and the service was pristine. We made sure to send our compliments to the chef and we definitely recommend if you want a really good breakfast while in Rehoboth! 10/10 experience, the servings were pretty big, and we still cleaned our plates (which I don't do much anymore!) Go Goolee's! read more

If you want a small family Diner breakfast experience, Goolee's Grill is the place to go. The service felt like I was home in my Grams kitchen, the food was fresh and delicious and the price point for breakfast is spot on. We would have eaten there more than once but they're closed on Wednesdays. Great staff, great food! Can't wait to come back the next time we're in town. read more

Three words: Gluten. Free. Pancakes. Okay I suppose that should have been hyphenated two words. But still. I was SO excited to see they served gluten free pancakes and they were delicious!!! My 3 year old actually ate her buttermilk pancakes too (which is rare). The service was friendly and attentive. Everything was reasonably priced. The little gift shop attached next door was super cute too. Glad we found this little place during our stay at the beach! read more

Slow service and small portions drop Goolees to the bottom of my Rehoboth brunch rankings. Server was nice enough but never asked how are food was. I ordered the healthy egg white omelette was so disappointingly tiny. Taste was fine but come on! Healthy doesn't mean small - it means low fat and high protein. read more
