    BEC Sandwich double egg, double meat
    Robert B.

    UPDATE: Surf Bagel reached out to discuss my complaint and they resolved the issue! i just purchased a breakfast sandwich at the lewes location (double egg and meat), drove home without checking and this is what I received. Seriously?!? if the restaurant is going to upcharge for the extras then the customer should receive what they paid for. Not the first time quality control seems to be an issue. If you patronize this location, check your order before you leave.

    Always a great experience at Surf Bagel! My only wish is that they'd switch to better gluten free bagels like some of the other bagel shops we love. Overall it's always delicious! And great for a quick bite. I don't go as much as I used to because I started making my own GF bagels. But when we're in a pinch I'm happy to stop here!

    This is a great option for very good bagels near the Five Points intersection in Lewes! My wife and I shared the nova lox and cream cheese bagel (plain). One son had the breakfast burrito, and the other son had a steak and egg bagel (plain). Everyone was pleased with the bagels which had a nice texture overall. Parking can be a bit crazy on Sunday mornings when it's super-busy, so be sure to pack your patience. The interior has limited seating but most folks are here to pickup their "grab-n-go" bagel sandwich orders.

    Bacon egg and cheese

    It's Wednesday morning ordered for delivery. A bacon egg and cheese bagel lightly toasted. Was delivered quickly. I'm glad they offered scrambled eggs, I'm visiting from Florida and I never seen scrambled eggs offered as a choice for bagels back home. Food was good.

    BEACH BURRITO WITH FRENCH FRIES.

    We were on our way back home from the beach and wanted a quick bite to eat, when I say this is not a place you want to skip!! From the bright, open spaced welcoming ambiance, to the super friendly service, yummy fresh bagels, crispy yet soft potatoes, and last but not least the breakfast burritos that are stuffed perfectly! 10/10 recommend You won't be disappointed.

    Love coming to Surf Bagel anytime we are in town. They have the best bagels and burritos! I usually get the bacon egg and cheese bagel, lox and cream cheese with capers or the beach burrito. The beach burrito has avocado, spinach, egg and cheese. It's a big portion. Sometimes I can save half a bagel for another meal. The kids like the chocolate chip bagel. The inside is decorated with a beachy bagel theme. There are seats and booths inside and also outdoor seating. My husband loves their ice coffee. Will be back again!

    Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese

    What isn't there to say about surf bagel? This is our first stop on the way into Rehobeth every year. We stop another time and then have breakfast on the way. Out of town! There bagels are perfection! Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Whether you toasted or not, it is exactly what you want in a bagel. Let's not forget about the cream cheese. Our favorites are scallion and vegetable. My dad wanted to try something new this year so he got the apple cake which hit the spot. It was full of apple slices and with a sweet treat, he was looking for. The lines may be long, but they are efficient and your order gets called within minutes. With multiple locations, you can hit up a surf bagel when you're in the area! The location in Lewes is lots of fun with tables outside.

    Sausage egg cheese on everything bagel

    Great service, delicious food, friendly employees, reasonable prices. Enjoyed the outdoor seating. Was our first time going to a surf bagel and will continue to come back!

    Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure

    Different Cheesesteak'esque sandwich #1193. I got a steak, egg and cheese on everything bagel. November Saturday morning and this place was busy. I liked the surfer decor and names for everything. I read the menu (in my head) in a Keanu Reeve's surfer dude voice. I liked that my sandwich was $8.50. The Chicago dog special looked interesting. I'm curious about the everything bagel roll. My sandwich was good enough. It was a little dry.

    I bought the bagel there and made my own sandwich at home, spot on bagel

    Really good bagels! They dont slack on the cream cheese/toppings. Their sandwiches are top quality for a modest price.

    Anyone else think their bagels are salty?

    The everything bagels are definitely salty. Most places don't put salt on everything, but at surf bagel, they take that name seriously. I've switched to wheat, which isn't as salty, but I can still taste salt. I wonder if it's the cream cheese?

    Nice cute cafe that is open for breakfast and brunch. We had our dog and were seated in the side…read morealley which was covered. That was nice as it was very windy outside. Coffee is good. Crab omelet was nice. I liked my Lox sandwich was well only wished it had more capers.. French toast was delicious and generous portion. The home fried felt under cooked and not to our liking. Rest everything was nice. Service was prompt and friendly. I recommend this place of you are in the area.

    So full disclosure, I'm not really a "breakfast guy." My mornings usually consist of 2-3 cups of…read morecoffee. Only exception is when I'm back home in NYC, I'll have a local BEC (Bacon/Egg/Cheese) on a kaiser roll or an everything bagel + cream cheese since you know...bagels in the DMV are MID. So, it's some surprising that I rate Eggcellent a solid 4, as I rarely visit restaurants for breakfast. Located in Downtown Lewes, DE, I agree with some of the other reviewers who describe this joint as an "elevated diner." The interior dining room is teeny tiny; like shoe box size. Best bet for a table is the enclosed outdoor patio, which is where we sat. There were three of us, and in addition to our entrees, two of us ordered mimosas, while I had black coffee. I tried a sip of the mimosa. It was fine...a bit too sweet as the Orange Juice tasted like concentrate and not fresh...but fine just the same. Entrees arrived within 10 minutes of placing orders. My meat lovers omelette was good. A heaping portion of ham and sausage were folded into the fluffy egg mixture. The home fries could've been more crispy and were a tad underseasoned. The hot sauce and table S&P provided additional flavor. Classic dish of eggs, home fries, and sausage patties was quite satisfying. The sausage was the size of a hockey puck and tasted really good, especially with the slight char from the flattop grill. The bagel with cream cheese and lox was probably the best thing at the table. A toasted bagel was topped with generous amounts of smoke salmon, capers, and slivers of shaved red onion. I tried a piece, and realized I should've ordered this. Service was as expected. Staff would routinely stop by to check on us, and kept water glasses filled, as welll as my essential cup of morning java. We had an enjoyable experience, albeit felt a bit rushed towards the end of the meal. But I understand, since there was a constant wait for tables, and as a business, there is the need to turnover customers to make way for new seatings. For three adults, entrees with beverages, tax and tip was a bit over $75.

The sauces are solid. I had to take away a star for the highly disappointing pork. It was dry as the Sahara and lacked smoke. That was a bummer. For the second visit, I got bold and ordered brisket. It was tender, juicy, and had just enough smoke to make me happy. I got the greens again and coleslaw. Both sides were great. In all my years of visiting the area, I would have never consider eating barbecue. I can happily say that Bethany Blues changed my mind. I hope to try the pork again and upgrade this review.

Took a walk and looked at the food available on the buffet and it's a deal if you can eat!! Lots of terrific options. We sat at bar and ordered from menu as didn't want buffet (too much food). Ordered a burger - the best! So tasty and delicious. Fries good too. Also had the Carolina Cuban with no bun and Wowzer! Super tasty. Service was great. Very friendly and kept checking on us. This is a BBQ joint vibe that is quite elevated. Great decor. Will always stop here as it's such a great place. Reasonable prices for the quality and quantity. They do have live music and other events. They also have a smaller location in downtown Rehoboth, as well as bigger one in downtown Lewes.
