Dining options in sandy Delaware towns like Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Dewey Beach, and Bethany Beach have continued to expand as remote workers relocate to the Atlantic coast and an increasing number of tourists want to check out President Joe Biden’s summer digs. Along with a bounty of farm-sourcing, seasonal-cooking restaurants, there are new options for Italian food, Indian cuisine, and fried street snacks. Vacationers and day-trippers from D.C. can find standout sushi at the Cultured Pearl, made-to-order pasta at Dalmata, and local beers at Thompson Island Brewing. For grab-and-go options, consider Surf Bagel & Deli, the Station on Kings, and Touch of Italy. Egg in Rehoboth is among the area’s best brunch spots.
While this list includes a range of price points, most of the restaurants included lean unpretentious and casual. Before heading home and battling that infamous Bay Bridge traffic, check out these 19 restaurants.
