    Espresso Martini
    Gina A.

    Very nice place to grab some food and drinks. Multi level with plenty of seating. Has both an upstairs bar and downstairs bar. Booths and high tops, as well as table seats available. Adorable decor and great atmosphere. There's a great sink area for easy washing after indulging in some crabs. All employees were friendly and attentive. We only came in for a late night drink. Ordered two delicious cocktails- espresso martini and a blueberry spritz. Both were tasty. Nice place to chill. I can imagine this place is packed during seasonal peak hours. There's no parking at all and parking in Dewey is always a challenge.

    Came here with a large group and derive was super friendly and quick! The food was all really fresh and the menu had a good variety of options. I had a few oysters and nachos. Our waitress did a great job and drinks were on point to!

    Cool vibes siting at the bar. Modern, reasonably priced but you can still feel like you're a few blocks from the beach. Plenty of tvs. All of the seafood was really fresh. Good service.

    The management and crew were very informative, helpful and friendly. Salad and rice was very tasty

    Food was absolutely fantastic. I got the scallops and they were killer. There are tons of people working so our waters were always full and the food came out fast. The restaurant gets a little busy during peak times and I don't think you can put in a reservation, so plan to wait for a bit. It's very beachy inside with lots of different seating options both inside and out.

    I was disappointed in my pasta which was recommended by the host. The seafood pasta had 3 shrimps, some other crab meat, and was water down. The bar tender was attentive. Overall the place is a vibe, but the food is overpriced.

    Ahi tuna
    Rodger S.

    We had a great meal here tonight. The place has an upscale feel & the food was very good. We started by sharing an order of ahi tuna. It was good & properly prepared. For my entree, I had snow crab legs & they were very good. For his entree, my husband had steamed jumbo shrimp that he peeled. I tried them & they were excellent. We also shared an order of corn on the cob they was delicious.

    Birra Tacos & Happy Hour Mozzarella Log
    Samantha C.

    If I could rate this any higher than 5 stars I would. This was a great experience! Our server was Lauren and she was amazing and so sweet! For drinks I had the watermelon crush and the Clawtini (their version of an espresso martini). The clawtini is on draft and it was deff a stronger martini but very good. The watermelon crush was refreshing and so good. Now for the food.. we split birra tacos and the happy hour mozzarella log ($7) for apps and both were amazing! The cheese pull of that log was one for the books. Then for dinner we each had a pound of snow crab legs ($40) and the Delaware corn dodgers, which were like corn nuggets or hush puppies. I'll say that snow crab legs are my favorite food and I've had them in many places. Starboard Claw was hands down the best crab legs I have ever had. They were pre-cracked, the meat was so juicy and lots of big pieces. I will think about these crab legs for many months to come. I know Delaware is known for the blue crabs, but don't sleep on the snow crab legs! The ONLY thing that I didn't love was the amount of flies everywhere but I know that's something they can't control.

    Happy Hour Menu
    Natalie F.

    Went for the stellar happy hour that runs 12-6 on Saturday and Sunday. $5 food options with generous portions. We had wings and shrimp. All were served quickly and tasted great. Shrimp came sprinkled with Old Bay and included cocktail sauce. Wings were chili rubbed with brown sugar. Nice and crispy with a good balance of flavors. Service was spot on too. We sat at the bar which was bright and sunny and opened to the street. One of our favorite spots during our quick visit to Dewey Beach.

    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.

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 :)

    Swung through here for lunch after some work meetings in Easton, Maryland and didn't regret…read more The atmosphere was warm and friendly and the food (Caesar salad with crabcake and dynamite shrimp) was tasty. The service was also great, with multiple waitresses checking on us constantly. They treated my pup Griffey famously! He won Dog of the Day and the owner came and said hi. After lunch and a walk on the beach, my pup was toast.

    Introduction on Dewey Beach trip:…read more Representing 2023, W is for Woody's. In September 2023, I was on a group beach trip at a house in Dewey Beach a close walk to Woody's. I stayed for 3 nights. The timing of this trip ended up being good for three reasons: 1. Three weeks earlier I had surgery for cancer on Tuesday, 8/15/23. I was not aloud to go in pool, beach, or bathtub for exactly 3 weeks. My community pool's last day for the season was Labor Day Monday, 9/4/23 (2 weeks 6 days after my surgery), which kind of sucked because that kissed going to my community pool the rest of the season or any other pool parties. About a week earlier, my friend convinced me to go on the trip saying there was availability in the house during the Monday to Friday part. Ultimately, I decided to take off work on that Tuesday and worked from the house on Wednesday, but I had a great time on the trip that I decided to extend to Thursday doing the same working at the house. And I was able to fully enjoy the beach on Tuesday, 9/5 exactly 3 weeks later with no issues. As well as the other 2 days to lesser extent as I had work too. 2. DC/Maryland was experiencing an intense September heat wave with temperatures in the upper 90's; so it was great timing to escape to the beach where temps there were still pretty hot as high as low 90's. 3. Most importantly, I met my girlfriend of now 2 years on this trip! We were friends for several months, but then dating started in February 2024. Experience with Woody's: If I hadn't extended my trip into Thursday, I wouldn't have tried Woody's. I was tired of leftovers after Tuesday & Wednesday night; I decided to go to Woody's for dinner. I called in the order, walked over didn't have to wait long, and took back. Friends looked a little jealous. I got the crab cake sandwich with fries. It was an amazing crab cake with great fries. It certainly wasn't a cheap dinner, but it was worth it for a good amount of crab cake with a high quality.
