    Fast service on a rainy off season day. Food is fresh, great daily specials. Tuesday is snow crab day- $20 for a pound of yumminess Good vibes!

    The Hangover Burger with onion rings (pre lettuce tomatoes and onions)
    Cali W.

    First off, I enjoyed my time in Rehoboth Beach. The community is friendly and diverse. Now, for the Purple Parrot. It's a casual restaurant with a friendly and diverse staff and clientele. I ordered the Hangover burger and my partner ordered the cheesesteak. Both were incredible! Now I love a good burger and I have enjoyed many, but this burger took the cake. I believe it was handmade and grilled to my satisfaction. I asked for medium well and it was delicious. Tender. Juicy. Hardy. I don't recall if this particular burger comes with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions but I made sure to ask for it, and when it all came together... It was sublime. Chef's kiss. Also, the cheesesteak was a knock out. Very well made. Seasoned but not over seasoned. Greasy (as a good cheesesteak should be) but not overly greasy. The bread on both my burger and the cheesesteak was fresh and toasted accordingly. I mean if there was ever a standard for a burger or cheese stake, the Purple Parrot sets the bar. I would definitely return and I would recommend. I also enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. We were warmly greeted and overall, felt comfortable enough to actually relax and enjoy our food and conversation without being rushed or constantly interrupted by over-attentive servers. Finally, I believe both dishes were priced affordably and appropriately (appx. $15 each). Thanks PP. I hope to return again soon.

    I visited Purple Parrot Grill on a Sunday evening minutes before 7pm with my two daughters--one is 10, the other a teenager. It was July 4th weekend, so I anticipated there might be a wait, but I was excited to try the place because of their menu variety. Upon entering, I was approached by a hostess. I simply said "3," indicating our party size. Her immediate response was a blunt "no." Confused, I asked, "No, as in...?" She replied, "We're full." I then asked, "Okay, so you're not seating anyone for the rest of the night?" Again, she said, "No." Trying to understand, I said, "Don't you close at 1am?" She confirmed they did, but then added, "We don't seat kids after 9pm." I pointed out that it was only 7pm and asked if she meant they wouldn't have any seating available for the next two hours. She simply repeated, "No." What bothered me most was the cold and dismissive tone, and how I had to pull every piece of information out of her. From the start, there was no clear explanation, no courtesy, no effort to communicate what the actual policy or issue was. I left angry and disappointed. I ended up just going back to my hotel and having dinner there at Sirocco which was delicious with great service. If there are special procedures or policies about seating children after a certain time that's completely understandable--but it needs to be clearly communicated, and above all, delivered with some basic respect and professionalism. This was not the warm, welcoming experience I had hoped for, and unfortunately, it left a really bad impression.

    I took a trip here with my partner. There was a staffing issue in the beginning, but the waitresses were very accommodating and went above and beyond to correct the issue. The drinks were pretty good, and not watered down, which I can definitely appreciate. We ordered nachos, which were very bland. We didn't even finish them. But the salad was actually really good. Like surprisingly good. The chicken has a nice char to it. It was well seasoned and Smokey. Can't complain at all about that. The atmosphere was also unique with dollar bills all along the ceilings and wall that has been autographed by customers. I think if they upgraded the quality of some of the entrees, this place would be a real hit. But it's still a decent experience. And not overly expensive.

    Let's start by saying, from what I remember... I stopped by the Purple Parrot for drinks with my sister-in-laws, & we had quite the time! Our bartender, Connor, definitely has the patience of a saint because I'm sure he was ready to be done before we were finished. But he hung in there, thanks for putting up with it all. Hope the fat tip made it worth it! We enjoyed several drinks & shots together, & my in-laws grabbed some food earlier in the visit. The vibe is laid back & casual with a fun, eclectic atmosphere that really adds to the charm. Definitely a spot to remember (or not)!

    My friend and I had great service and frequented the parrot on our trip. The specials are great and the vibes are very beach tropical. Had a great time putting our dollar bill on the wall!

    Wife had a salad and I had a marinated chicken/bacon/cheese sandwich.

    Every time we are at the beach, my wife and I eat here. The ambience is that of a tiki bar and very clean! It is LGBTQ AND straight friendly. Everyone can feel at home here. If you can't, well.....thats on you. Anyway....On 3/13/25, we had Grace as our server. She is top notch!!!!!!! The food....well.....while they don't have as much to choose from (still, a great selection) as some places, you won't find any better food around. From the taste, the freshness to the presentation.....It is PERFECT!

    As someone who generally loves Mexican food and a great vibe I was excited to stumble upon the Purple Parrot. I really liked the place, very chill but fun and an easy place to get comfortable with my buddy. Service was slow, kind of surprising since there weren't that many customers, but food was kind of disappointing. Ordered steak tacos which looked like they were missing some ingredients and tasted like flavored fat. Ich. Too bad.

    The Parrot is a very chill, friendly bar and restaurant right off the beach. There is a huge outdoor space with its own bar, which is a very fun place to have a drink and meet people. If you're looking for food, you can head inside where the vibe is dive bar from the 90s. The food also is surprisingly good, especially the quesadillas. Highly recommend checking this place out for a nice daytime cocktail - especially the crushes.

    Chicken Quesadilla
    Lawrence F.

    Dipped in for a quick shareable bite. Sat on the bar side, at "the best seat in the house" .. arguable.. bartender stopped over soon after we got our menus. We started just with water, and he gave us a few. We soon ordered drinks and food. We both went with a "crush" mine was blood orange, and my lovely gf ordered an orange creamsicle crush. Both drinks were tasty. Mine gave me more of a regular orange crush, then a more tart blood orange taste. Good nonetheless, I finished it! We ordered the chicken quesadilla, sharing, and it was delicious! Very good flavor, and the sides (sour cream, guac, and salsa) was super fresh!! We finished up pretty quickly, and sat there with empty glasses. Outside of our bartender walking past us to do something else, and another staff member just walking by, no one else checked on us, or even asked if we'd like a refill. We soon flagged down a random employee to ask for our check. She then informed the bartender, who soon brought it over. Maybe a bad day, I get it, but we definitely would have had another drink.

    We stopped here for lunch after a few hours on the beach. You can't miss this restaurant, it is painted purple on the outside and the inside walls are covered in dollar bills. It is located right on the Main Street of Rehoboth, so it is easy to walk to from the beach. I got the fish and chips which were pretty good. The fish I wanted to be more crispy, but I really liked the coleslaw. The service was a little slow but it is a beach restaurant. We heard this place is also a popular bar at night but we didn't have the energy to check it out at night

    Can people under 18 eat here is there a time cut off?

    Yes - the Parrot is a full service restaurant most of the time - the age restriction occurs at 10 PM when the various "shows" begin and is more bar than dining venue.

It was crisp though he sort of wished the cheese had melted a bit more (it was fine, imo). The waiter was reasonably prompt, though definitely not pushy or hovering. Service undoubtedly has its ups and downs in a vacation town and this guy, while a bit inexperienced, took his job seriously. The settling was meh. We were seated in a lonely table at the edge of the dance floor. We just lacked having a spotlight thrown on us. The Barbie theme was well done. The location is excellent, one block from the beach and next to the center drive.

We have seen staff touched inappropriately with nothing done about it, servers and bartenders have been rude and hard to track down, and it gets so packed during drag or any event that it is hard to leave or even move. I have seen countless people get sick as well from being over served. The food is fine but is pricey for bar food. It has been a let down time and time again and now it is labeled as a straight-friendly queer bar? Will not be returning and we are locals which is a shame since we are queer and want to be going to queer establishments. Please do better with staff and service. Thank you.

    A really nice, quiet spot. It's n the second floor so have to know where it is or you'll miss it…read more Their burgers are really good, loved the patty and the place has tons of TVs to catch any game on. Service was friendly and super quick. Great spot for group or smaller social event out.

    We picked this restaurant as an average American option. It had a really nice location - upstairs…read moreand on the main strip in the area. We had to wait a while but there was plenty of seating outside which was better than some of the places we ate. We got lucky and were seated at a table at the railing overlooking the street. It's always interesting to people watch. While our waitress was attentive - she was too much so. Our food took forever to come out and she kept checking in and asking if we needed anything. The only thing we needed was our food - and maybe an ETA on when it might arrive. Fortunately, we did have our cell phones and the people on the street to keep us entertained. Also, the sea gulls are VERY aggressive and we watched one eat some leftover food off the table next to us. So I had limited options on the menu (Healthy) and ended up getting the steak salad. Hubby got the burger. Neither should have taken that long to prepare but we were told the kitchen was backed up. My salad was very good with a very generous amount of steak on it. And the steak was perfectly done - still a bit red inside. I would have liked it really red but I know they can't do rare. SO I was just happy to have the red I did. And while it was chewy as heck, it had good flavor and I didn't expect it to melt in my mouth. I would totally order this meal again. Hubby was underwhelmed with the burger. It was rather sad and small looking. But in the grand scheme of things, it was fine - but just OK. I'm guessing he would not order it again. We got our check and paid in decent time once we finished eating. Overall I think the location and ambiance made up for the poor service (food taking way too long) and sad meal for the hubby. Also, the pricing was not insane as we encountered elsewhere which also made it quite acceptable. I would lightly recommend if location matters more than service food.
