    Homemade deserts
    Neal F.

    Amazing homestyle taste of Philly! Fantastic pizza, rice balls, and the meatballs are to die for! Haven't sampled the cheesesteaks yet, but they look fantastic . Shelves are stocked with hard to find Italian specialties, this is a hidden gem in the outlet corner behind Applebee's.

    Very nice Italian market with all the goods. They use fresh high quality ingredients and is always delicious. The owner Doug invested a lot of time and money to make this a quality establishment. The cannolis are homemade and absolutely hit hard. Italian hoagie is on point. Sicilian slices are filling and delicious

    Excellent sammies and prepared foods. Pizza crust is divine. Our new favorite, for sure.

THEN CRICKETS. For an HOUR. No server, no nobody, no nothing. Then the food came. DOGSHIT. Pizza was bland af, we ate 2 slices total of each pie and called it, didn't bother asking for a box for this stuff. Server and a manager came over concerned, we are kinda reserved so we felt bad saying something, but they know. The manager was called over to several tables during our visit. People waited as long as us or longer. I would recommend Grottos and I don't even like Grottos, cuz you might get your pizza the same day you ordered it there P.S. Also to add, it's hot af in the restaurant, like they could cook the pizza on your table, and pizza (Detroit) was burnt like it sat in the rehoboth beach sun all day. Thought I should throw that in there :)

    We made a reservation for last Friday night and had no prob making the reservation for the time we…read morewanted. When we got there, several people were waiting for tables but we were able to walk on by since we had the res. When we sat down we learned it was restaurant week! At first we thought it would be too much food - but the menu sounded too good so our arms were twisted haha. I got the lobster toast - this was my fave thing I ate at the Blue Hen. My bf got the carpaccio (also delish). For our main course I got the branzino. It was topped w fennel and carrot and it tasted so good w the fish. My bf got the fried chicken and he enjoyed it. We both loved our desserts. I got the strawberry - yum!! And he got the blueberry bread pudding. I had several tastes of his and I wasn't sure which dessert I liked more. Def need to come back!! I can't remember which drinks we had but I do remember that we liked them. I had only been to the Blue Hen for happy hour previously but now I know I need to be back soon!

    The Hen pecked and pulled out a Good Egg…read more Late summer, necessary beach weekend, Mom and I headed down 95 to favorite- Rehoboth. After many a weekend spent and many a restaurant tried we welcomed new eats at The Blue Hen. This menu is intriguing- small, tight but inventive- we were so excited to eat here! Was wonderful in having a table ready when we arrived for at-will, no reserve seating at about 7pm. Quiet corner. Promptly greeted by our server. She was gracious, so nice, and helpful our whole dining time. We ordered readily, in Mom's overwhelming hunger, lolol. Ordered the Lobster Toast and the Yellow Tomato Gazpacho, as starters. Amazingly accommodating on our order of this gorgeous gazpacho. We were given 2 bowls to split this tomato beauty. A few spoons of smooth & sweet, acidic, flavorful, gripping. Could have ordered more! The Lobster Toast- Accompanied by a concoction of radish, sesame, bitter-sweet....stunning bites in this salad. Unfamiliar but pronounced in the combination. Well done. The lobster- Absent. Wished for an open faced variety. Or at least a dish that advocates for lobster. Charge more. Bigger brioche. Pronounce those beautiful lobster bites in presentation. The lobster as served, was not the star. Ok, a moment for cocktails though- Whoa. Killer kill. The Church Girl Martini. Blessed be in evil, haha This Girl was too tasty in being that strong. So good in flavor, unbeknownst combos. A definite Watch Yourself and watch out for!! Entrees.....well when ordering was told the Sea Bream was out- disappointed on that. The entree menu is small, so should keep available. And when we entered the restaurant it was busier after we sat....so why out of a primary fish already?? So decided ahead- Mom had the Burger and I had the Crab Cake Sandwich. The burger- smashed, but still big patties. A perfect medium. Good overall. The bacon jam was an ask on the side. The bacons were really spicy lardons and were delicious. My crab cake sandwich. Hmmm. You are a sandwich. For the pricing, it's not there. Ate the Lumps, but the rest of the sandwich should I say was in the Dumps? Nothing to be said of standout. Would recommend putting this crab cake as a stand alone entree with accompaniment. Forget the bun. Overall food gets a 3.75. Drinks, environment and service a 4. The Blue Hen is not Spent. But also is not the Top Chicken.

The hostess was friendly and helped us get seated with a baby and highchair no reservations 6:30 pm on a Tuesday. The place was packed. When I tired to call ahead for wait times I got shuffled to an automated system and want able to verify that info with a person before heading over which was slightly annoying. Oyster Rockefeller - these were baked with spinach and served with breadcrumbs and a side of little potatoes. Perfectly done, came with 6 and perfect to share Oyster sampler 2 of each for $50 - this war incredible and super fun!! All the oysters were amazing, no filler oysters!!! The minnie from VA were sweet, meaty and refreshing... They were my favorite. Mussels - these were remarkable & devoured!! So flavorful, more like a Thai dish. 11/10 would come back for any of these dishes but especially this one. If you're a mussel lover this is one you can't miss!! I don't love garlic and usually it's just Mussels with red or white sauce with tons of garlic, but not here!!

We opted to wait 20 mins for a table instead of sitting at the "bar" where space was a little more limited. The food here was fantastic! Oysters were fresh (cocktail sauce was yummy), the shrimp in the po'boy sandwich was so bouncy, and the soft shell crabs were perfectly seasoned and crispy. The sides were okay but it made the main items shine even more! Great vibe and friendly staff!
