Outstanding food and service. Eat there nearly every visit to Rehoboth. The oysters and lobster roll are two of my favorites.

Came back from Brooklyn! Amazing experience. In the fall they open for lunch so you know we were here 2 days in a row. Oyster champagne shooter is still the best! Oysters werent as good as usual but probably due to season. Great service great atmosphere, great glasses even! We loved it!

Fun for lunch midday to grab a couple beers and apps at the bar but, also a great spot for nice dinner over in the restaurant area. I especially love the bar atmosphere and being able to watch the oyster shuckers. The rotating beer selection is always great due to great IPA availability. The rotating menu also is indicative of how fresh the ingredients are! Loved the Lobster Mac and cheese and the fish sandwich! The raw bar is nice too: enjoyed the Old Bay shrimp, clams & mussels. Additionally, the caesar salad, & french fries are very good! Bartenders and wait staff are also always incredibly friendly! A must try in the Rehoboth area!!

Everything we got was solid. The oysters were sweet and so fresh. The steak was tender and the kids enjoyed the Mac and cheese (bonus points, the food came out fast). Also nice that the kids were given crayons and sheets of paper that draped over the table, so essentially they could drawer right on the table. We went on a Sunday and 10 minutes before it turned 5 o clock and were able to get a table for 4 right away.

We had a wonderful dinner here earlier this week. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, so we decided to go early in hopes of avoiding a long wait. Our plan worked out fine. We got to the restaurant a little before 6 & put our name on the wait list & went to the bar for a drink. We ended up ordering & eating our appetizer in the bar. By the time we finished eating our appetizer, our table was ready. So we paid the bar tab & went into the dining room. For our appetizer, we shared an order of fried calamari. It was good. It was somewhat unusual in that it had a red wine sauce on the bottom of the serving dish. For our entrees, one of us had the lobster roll & the other had the sautéed scallops. Both dishes were good, though I can't say that I was thrilled with the sauce served with the scallops--it was a mix of eggplant & other veggies, nothing bad about it but not particularly to my taste.

I knew I had to try Henlopen City Oyster House after seeing it ranked 32nd on Yelp's top 100 seafood restaurants. With that being said, I'm glad I did because it was phenomenal. With that known, I started things off with the clam chowder and it was very good. To explain, the chowder was fresh and had excellent flavor. In addition, the chowder was loaded with clams and potatoes. It was a tasty clam chowder. Following that, I ordered the lobster roll with macaroni and cheese. Now, I don't say this lightly, but the lobster roll was the best cold lobster roll I've ever had. To enumerate, the lobster was incredibly fresh and tender. The lobster mixed with the mayo created a delicious cold and creamy flavor. Furthermore, they put a ton of lobster in the roll. Also, the roll was huge, fresh, and toasted to perfection. After that, I tried the macaroni and cheese and the results were similar. The macaroni and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and tasted great. This was an excellent macaroni and cheese. Following that, I ordered dessert which I rarely do. I ordered the peanut butter pie and it was scrumptious. To put into words, the peanut butter was creamy and delicious. Moreover, the crust matched perfectly with the chocolate and peanut butter. This was simply a top notch pie. At long last, Henlopen City Oyster House has top tier lobster rolls and it is one of the best seafood restaurants I've ever been to.

Very decent choice if you are in the area! Lovely food, lovely vibe, lovely staff. The food comes out incredibly fast, we were impressed. I got the Amberjack was enjoyed it very much. The portion size is great. PS It is very close to the Rehoboth boardwalk so street parking only and may be tough to find a spot. This place is a walk in only, and will only seat a complete party.

Henelopen City Oyster House Our visit was May. Acknowledgment to my favorite bar staff. You're so sweet. Fried clam strips with homemade roumalade dip. Cask drawn was awesome: Union cask duckpin. Oh man. Oh man Wine pours were good. Oyster shuckers are going full. Sat in the Bar area and watched the Phillies win. Then dinner in the main dining room. I had the delicious Tilefish with purple carrots in curry. Shrimp boil was big and tasty. My love had an enormous Lobster roll with vinegar Cole slaw. My friend had the Chowder and eat every drop. 2 long time servers are great. Fries were a bit too salty. Really, I get enough from the ocean; Really.

When I come to the Eastern shore, I must go to Henlopen City Oyster House. Coming in March helps because there's not the same wait! We showed up around 5:45 p.m. and got seated right away. My daughter loves raw oysters, so got a selection. The waitress was SO kind, saying she wanted her to try one she hadn't ordered and brought it to her gratis. But the grilled oysters really are what I crave - so delicious. We've never done the seafood potluck before, and generally it's something I wouldn't choose because there's not much "cheffing" with boiling seafood. However, it's what my daughter wanted, and it really was a wonderfully large portion. What's not to love about a lot of seafood? Henlopen's a reason to come to the Eastern shore in the off-season. They deserve their top 100 seafood restaurants in America rating!
