Lovely experience! We wanted some midday oysters and Matts Fish Camp was just the place! We stopped in and sat at the bar for some Oysters and drinks and I couldn't rave more about our experience. The oysters were delectable, the ambiance was wonderful and the staff couldn't have been friendlier and more attentive. I truly have zero complaints about our experience and will without a doubt be back next time I am in town! read more

The establishment was what was expected when on inside. I wish it was a little warmer, so we could have had dinner with dog outside instead of carry-out. The staff seemed truly friendly which is nice on vacation since a lot of places these days people are just rude, They made me feel welcome which is nice. The food was decent. We enjoyed the lobster roll and enjoyed the fish sandwich with hopes that it was truly fresh and not a Captain Sully's Summer Vacation Event. We gave a 4 not a 5 since prices were high and always get disappointed paying these prices when we can make the same thing at home. Although, we discussed that it would be nice to come back and enjoy a drink with a meal. read more

Wanted to love this place. Cute decor. Seated quickly. Serving quickly. Chowder was good. Crab cake was tasty.....but burnt. No "I'm so sorry". No, "let me get you a new one". No, "let me adjust the bill" More like "oh, well, sometimes they are well done." read more

Came on a busy holiday weekend. Staff was pleasant and ready for the rush. I thought I would have to wait to dine based on the crowd but there was a table available! I was really taken by how much of a well oiled machine they ran this place, it was all hands on deck to feed people and get them out with great service. I settled on the crab cake sandwich with crab fries. The crab cake was delicious with no filler! Everything looked and tasted fresh. I did get a few shell pieces but they were so small and I understand if you're picking crabs you're liable to get some shell. The crab fondue for the fries was tasty, I thought it'd be more cream based but it wasn't too thick and still had a great crab flavor. Was it expensive ? Yes, but for the quality, the season and the location what do you expect?? This place does food well, people well and service well. I'll be back for sure. I saw some onion rings that looked divine. read more

Completely blown away by this restaurant. Very clean inside and out, and the staff were so polite and kind. My food was amazing we came here to try the crab deviled eggs, but we left here becoming big fans of the pineapple sriracha wings. The best sauce you could top a wing with. I even dipped my mac in that sauce lol. read more

As you can see from my last review I was here for the very first time with my large family back in Christmas of 2025. At that time I enjoyed a good lunch with my family including their chicken pot pie. I returned here for a late lunch after getting off the Cape May Lewes ferry. I enjoyed my rum punch for $12. I also again tried their chicken pot pie for $21, although this time I thought the pot pie crust was over cooked and hard compared to when I enjoyed it during my first visit. For that reason I reduced my rating from 4 to 3 stars. My total bill was $67 excluding gratuity. Schyler J. served us very well. read more

Food is good if not very creative. Service at the bar is good though some of the follks who hang out there are a bit rough and not very sociable. Of course the Happy Hour menu is a good vallue and we will go back. I always found there is very little ambiance in this place. read more

So disappointing.....been here many times and this is a first. Took Mom out for an early dinner; wanted to seat us by the door and I told them that doesn't work. Mom would feel the draft of the door. Moved us to the back while I was fine with. Ordered cocktails, pineapple martini and a paper plane. I wasn't crazy about it but it was just ok. Ordered appetizer of fried calamari and our entrees fish n chips. Here's the problem I'm eating my appetizer and the entrees come out. How?...Restaurant wasn't busy, empty tables and now I have 2 plates in front of me. I usually order a bottle of wine with dinner but I was so annoyed I ordered a glass of Malbec Reserve . I just wanted to get out of there....So disappointed. read more

There is a lot to like about this place. Close to the ferry. Happy hour at the bar for those who do that type of thin. Delicious food. Wasn't all that pleased with the chowder. Needed more cream flavor rather than all the fixings. Blacked swordfish was spot on. Wasn't dry, great flavor, and the vegetables went well. Had a bite of the fish and chips and was also good. The two ladies next to me were head over heels for the key lime pie. read more

I had to update my review as I had my second visit to Matt's for a girls night out and it was just as wonderful as the first. We came in the evening around 6 so had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. We got seated and our server immediately came to our table with water. I asked for her recommendation for the best salad and she said the Lobster Cobb was the best so we went for it. It was fabulous!! It is a deconstructed salad so you can pick and choose your bites, but it had lots of lobster, egg, bacon, clue cheese, and pickled onions. For the cocktail we had the seasonal sangria which was a mango-blueberry and it was light and refreshing. And of course we had to try the Key Lime Pie and it was also excellent, a little bit of tartness and a nice thick crust. The ambience is always great although when it is busy it is very noisy so it can be a bit hard to hear each. I love this place and I know it will be one of the restertuants on my regular rotation. I am looking forward to cooler weather to try some of the more "cozy" items on the menu. Great meal, great service and nice ambiance so give it a try! read more

Came here last year and decided to come back here again, since it's right across from where we are all staying. Got there at 5:30 and this is 8/18, a Monday and there was already a wait. Told the hostess with dirty blonde hair that was doubled braided with glasses that will be party of 6, but one of them will be a high chair. She said so 7 - it's like honey, I know how to count. Waited 30 minutes, we got the text and dark brunette with curly hair and dark brows said you can have this table, but can't put a high chair there. But if you want a high chair, it's going to be another 5-10 minutes. We said, we will wait and walked off and then couple of minutes later we got another alert that said they're only going to hold our table for just another 5 minutes before we lose our table. I am like what, so I went inside after my friend spoke to the dark brunette hostess and I said, we advised you we wanted to wait for the high chair table and you said it would be 5-10 minutes for a table that can have a high chair. But you still have us under the original table that cannot have a high chair due to the foot traffic. She's like I gave away that high chair table, because I wasn't aware you didn't want that table anymore. Like don't try to back pedal and say, we didn't want it when we said we will wait for it and mentioned we'll wait outside. So this hostess doesn't know how to do her job! Completely wasted our time for more than 40 minutes and didn't take accountability for her failing to remove us from the initial table and she also failed because why would we want a table that cannot have a high chair when we specifically mentioned we would need a high chair from the get? Like wtf! We ended up leaving to go somewhere else. read more

My wife, two sons (18 yrs, 20 yrs), and I stopped by Matt's Fish Camp Lewes for a Saturday dinner at 5pm in late December 2025. We did not have to wait for a table, but it got more crowded and busy at 6pm. This is now our "go-to" restaurant for winter off-season trips to Lewes. First, the service is excellent and attentive. Our waiter was happy to explain their daily catch items and the "Baltimore style" option (with fries and coleslaw) instead of the creamy risotto. Second, the seafood is delicious here. My older son and I very much enjoyed the grilled swordfish. My wife liked the fish and chips (with malt vinegar) and my younger son had the lobster roll. Third, it has a clean, upscale casual vibe with kid-friendly options. I assume this place has a long waiting time for dinner during the summer. But in the winter, you're likely to enjoy a less crowded experience. read more

Good food but not dog friendly. Service was ok but the owner or manager kept questioning our service animal while there

Switch back to using Swai fish in your fish and chips. Haddock just doesn't cut the mustard.

My husband and I go back to Matt's Fish Camp over and over. They really have the formula right. The food is fresh, well prepared, and consistently high-quality. Love the oysters. The service is pleasant without being too cutesy, and again, consistent. Having spent a few college summers in the food service business (didn't we all?), I have a real appreciation for the value of standards and training, and Matt's fires on all cylinders. Well done! read more

This is a great place to get really fresh and tasty seafood. The service is quick and attentive. The place has a nice nautical feel and a community vibe. I have had the fried clams twice and they are prepared to perfection and clean not one gritty bite. read more

Third time back to a Matt's Fish Camp, off season here in Lewes/Rehoboth DE. Upon arrival, immediately taken to a waiting table in the back. Our server appeared within seconds to greet us and ask about drinks. We started with a the GL Abellio white wine for my wife and an Allegash White beer for me. Kicked off the meal sharing the mussels with sausage in a garlic white wine cream based sauce, very tasty and enjoyable way to start our dinner experience. Next course we shared the shrimp and grits with a side of dirty Brussels. Wow what terrific platting presentations and the flavor profiles were unique in their own way. What they had in Common was a nice kick, a pop of flavor from the subtle use of spices. Every dish was a winner. Including Umut, our server. Smiling, engaging and the word NO was nowhere to be found upon our requests. See our food pics. Don't blame me if you start drooling read more

I wanted fried clams, but they only had clam strips, disappointed. So, I got a lobster roll with fries. Their fries are great, as was the roll, very New England, but the lobster was off. If I had to guess, I'd say it had been sitting under a heat lamp waiting for an order. To me, that's unforgivable. Thus, you get a 3. read more

BLUF: Consistently excellent food and service no matter the season or time of day. My husband and I always visit Matt's Fish Camp when we visit Lewes and it's always been excellent. It doesn't matter if it's summer or winter, lunch or dinner, casual fare or a more refined fish board entree, the food is always excellent. Today we enjoyed rockfish and salmon serviced "Baltimore style" which means it came with a side of fries and coleslaw. The service has also always been consistently excellent. So yes, no doubt, we'll be back again to continue exploring the menu. read more

I come into Matt's once a year while visiting the area and often recommend it to others. I was disappointed this time to see that since my previous visit, their fish & chips platter had changed. Not only the size of the portion but the type of fish. It went from four large cod pieces to one small haddock fillet. The delicious cod was the main reason I came there. Service has always been adequate and accommodating but nothing special. read more

Service = A+ Atmosphere = A+ Food = C What we would order again? Nothing. What would we not order again? * Hawaiian Rolls - We thought these were homemade versions of the Kings Hawaiian Brand dinner rolls. They are the actual Kings Hawaiian rolls or a knockoff. Store bought not homemade. * Shirt rib casserole - Boring. Not enough cream sauce. * Deviled eggs - Egg yolks, cheap mayo and crab meat. No pickles. No paprika. No flavor layers of flavor like deviled eggs have. Not tasty at all. * Crab Dip - Way too much old bay. It's just old bay dip. * Clams - Overcooked and thus chewy. Sauce the clams were in was blah. What you want is a sauce you can't wait to dip your bread into. This is not that. read more

Matt's was as expected inside. Very beachy decor. The service was excellent. The food seemed a little overpriced for what it was.

Super chill fun laid back relaxing vibe. You'll feel so at home here. We even noticed that it wasn't just tourists partaking but also locals so you know that's always a good indicator for a good meal. The outside shack feel gives ways to a fun nautical interior that is unexpected given the exterior. Count on these sure bets if you're looking for some finger licking grub: -Fried calamari -Clam chowder -Deviled eggs -Lobster roll P.S. Anna is a super sweet waitress. If you have the pleasure of having her wait on you, you're in good hands! read more

One of the first places I left a yelp review at about two years ago. There appears to be a few locations near Rehoboth beach but this exact one was very easy to get to once you get closer to the beach. I've always came here around late lunch so never really had a wait getting seated without reservations. Service is super friendly and the food portions are size-able. I usually keep it simple and go for the lobster roll which I find to be very delicious. The appetizers are really good as well and enough to share for a group of 4. Cocktail and beer selection is pretty decent. Overall, just one of those places you should stop at if you ever come to visit Rehoboth beach. read more
