Stopped in for lunch and hoping for a quick bite. Did not see a menu for quite a while and was served after two other parties that arrived after us. My wife order a burger without bacon and got bacon. My sons' Ceaser salad was drowned in dreasing. My burger was just OK. Rather dry in my opinion. I would say the place was an overall "ok" but there is really no reason to go back. Wendy's, nearby, would have been equally satisfying and would have been quicker. read more

They have pretty awesome daily specials. There is a great selection of beers to choose from and the food is really tasty. It is a bar, so it gets a bit crowded on weekend nights. read more

Had the 7 layer dip and rawhide burger. Both were excellent. The lady had a catfish po boy which was very good too.

My husband and I were traveling back home to Bethany Beach from vacationing in Boston and decided to stop in for dinner. It was a little loud and if you have a problem with people getting into your personal space, the tables in the center may not work for you. But honestly, who cares when the food is this good! Definitely worth the stop in! He had the Rawhide burger and I had the Baha turkey burger with sweet potato fries. Amazing. read more

The food is excellent but the Bar staff is Rude! They ignore you while they talk amongst themselves and serve their Regulars first!! Constantly messing up Your Rewards points then Claiming you are Wrong!! In this Clique Bar , The Customer isn't Top Priority!! read more

Happened in while having a rain day from flight instruction and on orders to go grocery shopping. Great selection of beers and food. The bartender was very knowledgeable. Think I finally found a handout since moving herd from Texas. All they need is Shiner Bock. read more

Love this place! I recommend it to everyone to at least try once. I've never had a bad experience, ever. Their food is always amazing & I highly recommend the Navajo nachos, jambalaya, chicken/steak fajitas or any of their burgers! read more

We walked in and asked them to put the Steelers game on which they happily did for us. The nachos and burger was great. We sat at the bar. The bartender didn't check on us. We would have bought more but she let me just sit there with an empty bottle. My boyfriend finally had to go to the other end of the bar and ask her for another round of drinks. Then I guess some regulars came in and she was all happy to help them. Made sure they were good with all they needed. I was disappointed in the service at the bar but the food was good. read more

When I lived in DE this was my favorite restaurant. I went back this week and it is still my place to go!! Dinner and plenty of drinks for two totaled $50 and the food is amazing. Burger night on Wednesdays is the time to go! Jess should win the bartender of the year award if such exists. read more

Perfect place for fried Calamari, nachos and beer after work! Service is usually pretty good, depending on which bartender it is. Other than that it's a great place to chill and unwind. read more

This is my favorite place to brunch. The service is great. The food is awesome, also. I normally get the breakfast tots. Today my friends and I met up right before the holidays and we were given mugs and homemade cookies because we are reward members. And THAT is why we always go there! read more

Love the turkey grinder - thanksgiving on a roll! Good selection of beers & TVs for watching the games.

After a long at work going to shellhammers is the place to go to unwind watch some sports have great drinks friendly and quick service and the food is great to. read more

Just stopped on a roadtrip, based on Yelp reviews, and we loved it! Great food and draft beer selections.

Went here with my wife for some lunch and the food was amazing. The service was great and very friendly. Keep up the great service cause that is hard to come by. read more

Great service and food. I work nearby so some coworkers and I go occasionally for lunch or for happy hour. Decent craft beer selection and prices. Good for groups. If it's busy then the kitchen slows down noticeably (get there before or after the lunch/dinner rush if you want your order to come out quickly). Better ambiance than most restaurants that try to be pubs. You wouldn't expect a place like this in a strip mall, but once you're inside it feels authentic. read more

Employee of mine suggested the bar to me and we decided to go try it out after work and watch Preakness. Three other guys from my crew were due to show up within the hour... I was going to treat them to dinner and drinks. We had a great day at work and made a good chunk of money for the hard work that day. When we got there, Pat and Monica were behind the bar. All was OK, but I believe I was being judged by the buddy I was with... in a negative way. I was never offered a menu or any follow up drinks... especially by Monica. Tried to ask her several questions about food multiple times and pretty much got blown off... Got to the point I had ask so loud, that it made it awkward. So I tried Pat and it worked out way better, but the damage was already done. When the three others called, I told them we would just meet at Stewart's Brew. Paid my bill and went to the brew house. I can tell you the food looked good and smelled great but Monica just really "pissed on my parade for the day." Think about it.. was ready to feed 5 hungry men and buy them drinks... bill over $200 for sure and I always tip above because I tended bar previously. Point! Don't judge me or blow me off if you don't know me. read more

Occasional goer, always a bit crowded but the food is outstanding. We got fajitas one time and jerk chicken quesadillas another, couldn't have been happier. The have a few flatscreens behind the bar, which conveniently seemed to always have the game I wanted to watch, and their drink section is solid. Great look to it, the crowd can be a little rough sometimes but I've never had a problem with anyone personally. read more

Great little bar in a strip mall with a Walgreens and an Acme Market. Their beer menu was pretty awesome. We grabbed a Key West Shrimp Caesar Salad, a turkey grinder and a prime rib dip along with an order of wings. Dylan, our waiter, was laid back enough and very attentive. We really enjoyed his approach and it was a good stop for a set of parents and a soccer player who was just finished with a game at the Kirkwood Soccer Complex (we were staying up the road at Residence Inn) read more

Great happy hour and bar crowd. Happy hour and daily specials are awesome. Service is OK. They are trying hard, but sometimes overwhelmed.

I don't dole out many five stars but Shellhammer's gets one. I had an absolute wonderful experience here this past weekend. Don't let the location in a strip mall keep you from visiting this place. This inside is tastefully decorated and with a very inviting atmosphere. We came here for lunch and were quickly seated. The waitress was very friendly and service was excellent during out entire dining experience. I had the crab cake sandwich with fries. The crab cake was nicely seasoned, piping hot, and on a exquisitely tasty bun. The fries were also good. I couldn't get my food down fast enough. I would love to comment on the sig-o's roast beef sandwich but I didn't get to taste it. He had his sandwich wolfed down so fast I am surprised he didn't choke. I will definitely stop by this place again when we track back up to NYC and add to this review. Make sure to detour off 95 and grab lunch or dinner here. You won't be disappointed! read more

Don't you hate it when you miss happy hour? Me too. But if you work, or have kids, responsibilities, or what have you, this does tend to happen. This happened to me on a Tuesday night, but "Don't fret!" says my waitress. "We have three can buckets of our craft beer for ten bucks, and half off nachos!" SCORE! As an enlightened beer drinker, I can know that canned beer scares away some newer afficionados of craft beer, who believe that bottles are king. Not so! Cans are better constructed now to eliminate that metal taste, they block more light, are better for the environment, and are more economical to use. I had some good local beers that I had never heard of, which put a smile on my face. The nachos were really good too, with fresh jalapeno slices. The blue cheese burger was delicious and the service was fast and friendly. As many have mentioned, don't let the strip mall scare you. This is a great restaurant! read more

Got the Jamaican fingers They were perfectly spiced, and served w/ a curry sauce which enhanced the flavor even more! Got the baja turkey burger it was pretty good, had a nice kick to it, but if I new that the jamaican finger were that good I would of got 3 orders of them since they are that good! read more

Great place, great food, but especially great wait staff. Josh is the man! Always friendly and knowledgeable about menu and specials! That kind of service keeps us coming back. read more

Behind the windowless door in a strip mall is a warm, upbeat sports bar. Great selection of beers and tasty signature burgers. My wife and I were passing through Newark on I-95, checking Yelp to find the right place for dinner. We were not disappointed. read more

I was staying down the road from this place on a recent business trip and ended up there twice. I first night I rolled into my hotel around 11 PM and went out in search of a bite and a beer. Walking in, the place has a great pub atmosphere - just dark enough, and a decent sized bar. Being Monday, it was half-priced cheesesteak night, so I went with that and a Yuengling. While the steak part was hot and flavorful, the rest of the dish left much to be desired. The bread, while not soggy, was much wetter than I expected and the fries looked like they were spooned out of the fryer. I have never seen fries so waterlogged with fryer oil. 1st night rounded out with a C- grade. I ended up back there the next night, this time about 7PM. The sandwich I ordered the next night was rather good, and the fries were as they should be as well. The old-timer next to me had good things to say about the Caesar Salad as well. Bartenders are attentive and friendly. The beer menu is impressive. Moral of the story - Good place, but don't order food late. Either the cook drinks all night and he's barely hanging in at the end of the shift or he goes home and the busser is back there cooking. Either way, I'd hit the Wendy's after 10 PM. read more

Great food. Good beer list. Nice space. Don't judge it by the outside! It is loud inside with the combination of people and the jukebox.

Met with a friend for dinner this evening. I am not a regular so I was looking forward to trying a different place. The atmosphere was nice and pleasant when we walked in, but when seated at our table along the wall the light above was blinding. Mentioned it to the hostess with no response. When the server arrived and our friend asked a couple of questions about a drink and then an entree, his response both times was that he had never had them. We had the crab soup and cheese steak appetizer and they were very good. Our friend and I decided to go with the black and blue salmon special and my Husband had a burger. No complaints on the burger and was even cooked as ordered to medium well. The black and blue salmon was a different story. First it tasted very Fishy. I order salmon everywhere I go because I love it and this was not even close to good. Instead of coming with blue cheese as described it had what looked like melted chedder and tomatoes only with no taste. I had two bites and couldn't eat the rest. the broccoli and carrots were room temp and quickly became cold. The rice had no taste at all. When the server checked back and we said we didn't care for it and wouldn't order it again he did offer to take it back and in hindsight we should have let him. For some reason I thought I would eat it because I was really hungry, but I just couldn't in the end. We ordered a sandwich to go for our friends Husband at the end and the manager brought it and never asked if we enjoyed our meal or gave any indication that he had been told we didn't care for the salmon. I can remember the days when if someone didn't care for their meal, especially two people with the same meal it was a big deal. It kind of felt like take it or leave it service. My Husband waited and had a drink at the bar after dinner while I ran an errand and when I picked him up he mentioned that while he was sitting there a group at the bar was dropping F-bombs constantly. Again, I remember a time when that language wasn't tolerated in nicer places. I don't really like writing bad reviews as I feel not enough people get praise, but this had to be written. read more

Love shells! We always come in after a long day at work and are always taken care of. I've been in the industry for years and know what good customer service is, Monica is amazing and always makes sure we are happy. Attentive, cheerful, easy to talk to. Thank you for always making me feel at home. Highly recommended for sure! read more

This place is a gem. They have some pretty good beers on tap and a decent bottle list as well. The bar scene is chill and the whole place is open, which makes the atmosphere almost home-like or more like a lounge rather than a bar or pub. The food is really good. I hope to get a chance to try a full entree. I have tried the blackened tuna bites, the Caribbean chicken tenders, the dinner sized house salad (with the aforementioned appetizers mixed in) and the 7 layer dip. It was all good. The tenders are grilled and they are really tasty. They come with a good pineapple curry sauce. The tuna bites were spicy and delicious and the 7 layer dip was bumpin, but I wished one of those layers had some beef in it. The only thing that threw me off a little was the bar tending. They didn't quite check in as much as I would've hoped, and I went beerless for a little bit. They weren't that busy either, they were just kinda chitchatting behind the bar and it was difficult to get their attention. However, this is not a huge problem and it won't prevent me from going back. read more

Great brunch menu, friendly service, open layout. Definitely a good spot for a beer and a game or lunch with the fam. Love the tattoos on the employees and the quick service. Jess, especially, has a phenomenal memory and a great disposition. Thanks for the A+ meal!!! read more

Been here twice based on reviews. Food and service was good.

Food and specials were good. The spicy crab soup is very spicy and would have liked to see more crab. Overall, I would go back.

This place has great specials and a surprisingly stellar menu. Way more than just a bar with pub food. Food is fresh, tasty, and creative. I recommend this restaurant for anything from a night out with friends to brunch with the in-laws to a dinner date with bae. read more

Tonight's experience: for there to be THREE ppl working the bar, the service SUCKED MONEY BALLS!!!!!

Fantastic burgers, huge basket of nachos, I think wednesdays were great specials, pretty good hapy hour. Good priced wine and beer. bathrooms could be cleaner. servers were nice friendly, food came out at a decent time. Just really really liked the food here. Hell ive eaten and drank at this place at least 15 times. Plenty of space to park outside. Its in a shopping center. I enjoyed this place a lot. I love that one bartender with the tats/sleeves. wow. yea anyways fucking great place, not sure why some dip shit gave this a one star review. If theres no one there to seat you, go ask dont stand around like a dumb ass. be proactive.fuck. go up to bar or something. Most of the food was priced fairly well from what I remember. I hope I can go there again one day to eat, and drink. Great menu had suck a great selection. I highly reccomed this place for anybody, looking for good food. I forgot the times for drink specials but they do have them call and ask. Oh I base my reviews off of nation wide establisments that sell food and alcohol, that I have personally been to and have eaten there more than once except for a few that fucking sucked ass. that is all. read more

Good food and good atmosphere during the dinner hour. A bit crowded later when the bar crowd hits. Crab nachos are great!

My #1 go to for brunch on the weekends. It's also my first choice when I'm looking for a drink and a bite. Their drink selection is better than you'd expect and their food is always amazing. Try the eggs Chesapeake if you happen to stop in for brunch, you won't ever want to go anywhere else. read more

the bar staff are terrible...they spend their time talking with each other and their friends and ignore empty glasses as they walk by...then they have difficulty understanding bad on no tip....tips aren't guaranteed....we sat at the bar and waited 15 minutes for a second beer..after waiting 10 for the first....if it was busy I'd of understood....but there were only 8 people at the bar...with Two Stones....Argillas.....Iron Hill...in the area who needs this place? in all fairness the food is pretty good....until the owner and management wakes up...they will continue to lose business to other businesses.... read more

My friend and I went there today for lunch and we were both very impressed. The atmosphere is open and airy and the service was prompt and friendly. We both had the prime rib sandwich (which we both recommend!) and we'll definitely go there again. read more
