Everything you'd expect from DH. Lovely outside space, friendly + excellent service, interesting food + brews. We felt totally at home and that's what is most important. The dry rub wings were a hit; I recommend getting them with the different sauces on side. The shrimp tacos were delicious. The crab + corn chowder was solid, but needed a bit more spice and should have been served hotter. Beer menu was extensive and I enjoyed the ones I tasted.

We enjoyed the atmosphere here however it was not what I was expecting. This is not a sit down and be served kind of restaurant. The focus is definitely on the beer so if you’re going for that I’m sure you’ll be pleased. You order your drink inside and then go outside and order food from a limited menu. There are pizzas, a couple sandwiches and salads and a few other things. The food was just okay. It was a very cool place to visit and they are dog friendly which is always a plus in my book! If you are in the area you should definitely check it out!

Salisbury University Alumni Engagement office had an alumni event last week. Our alumni left extremely happy. Working with the Dogfish staff to coordinate this was great. Staff had great communication and kept us up to date on any changes.
One of the employees of Dogfish gathered everyone and spoke about each course and beer pairing. We had 4 courses, each paired with a beer.
One of our guests has certain dietary needs, and the staff went above and beyond to bring out food that she could eat. They even replaced her beer, with cocktails. Highly encourage anyone to book a private event.

The whole vibe was perfect. We sat inside, there is plenty of space, you don't feel like you're going to back your chair up into your neighbor. We ordered our beers and a plate of fries to placate the tiny human and the fries were out before we could even look at the menu to figure out what we wanted. Our meals were delicious and the service was fantastic.

I’ve been wanting to come here for ages. Any craft beer lover who was there at or near the beginning in the 90s knows and loves Dogfish Head. This isn’t their brewery but their main pub and restaurant, at lovely Rehobeth Beach. The place is visually impressive. Outdoor seating is next to their shop. Indoor is designed well with a great bar, unique arched booth seating along the windows, and comfortable tables and regular booths. There is a huge stage on one side of the dining room. We had an amazing singer perform; the volume probably was a touch too loud for dinner conversation - they may want to adjust this. Concert volume for meals can be off putting. But the service was fabulous from host to server. The nachos were some of the best I’ve had in years, possibly decades. The pizzas were unique and interesting and flavorful. The unique beers available here only were worth seeking out - not a shock. A great place! Oh - and they often have a cask offering!!!
