    Omg the chewy ice!

    Cutest ambiance. You'd never know you were on the side of a busy highway. The waitstaff was super friendly. Sarah felt like an old friend ... It was our anniversary and we wanted a quiet and quaint spot for linch- Didn't disappoint Recommend 100%

    CRAB CAKE SANDWICH and FISH CAMP FRIES with fondue on the side
    Jasmine S.

    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.

    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.

    Shrimp and grits! Delicious!
    Donald P.

    We always enjoy the food, especially the shrimp and grits and their crabcake sandwiches! Our servers were attentive and efficient. Ambience is welcome to the shore!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Burnt crab cake.  Had to cut the bottom off.
    Jeannie O.

    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."

    Great place, nice decor, excellent food and staff, great seafood menu, locals love it!

    SHRIMP N GRITS
    Brian W.

    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

    Lobster roll.
    Steven F.

    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.

    A great logo on a neat building.

We've had the chance to try several restaurants around Lewes, and while we've had some great meals, this one definitely stood out. Since we came on a Monday mid-afternoon, the atmosphere was relaxed and we never felt rushed. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and our server was excellent--pleasant, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The food was delicious! I ordered the lobster roll, while my husband had the soup and sirloin melt sandwich. My lobster roll was simple but so satisfying, with plenty of lobster salad--which, of course, is exactly what I wanted! The menu has a great variety of options, whether you're in the mood for seafood or something else, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, with TVs around if you want to catch a game while enjoying your meal. It's a little off the main stretch in Lewes, but absolutely worth finding. Great food, great service, reasonable prices, and an overall enjoyable experience. We'll definitely be back--and I'm already looking forward to another visit next summer! Highly recommend!

First and foremost, the restaurant needs better maintenance and cleaning. The walls and tables had chipped and damaged areas, and the place generally looked worn and poorly maintained. The service was also extremely slow. It took more than 45 minutes for our order to arrive, and the food came out in a completely different order than we requested. We ordered mac and cheese for the kids, but were told they were out. We asked if they had regular noodles--also unavailable. We asked for black tea, and they didn't have that either. Instead, they brought us what appeared to be an old, chipped teapot. The prices are not cheap, so we expected much better service and availability. To make matters worse, the main reason we came was for the crab, and on a Saturday night they were completely out of crabs. That was very surprising and frustrating. The positive side: the drinks were good, and the oysters were fresh and tasty. They also did deduct part of the bill because of the issues. Unfortunately, the experience was already ruined. This restaurant really needs to improve its cleanliness, maintenance, inventory, and especially customer service.
