Where to dine in Dewey Beach

While neighboring Rehoboth Beach prides itself on its gourmet attitude, the restaurants of Dewey Beach tend to keep the cuisine suited to this party town’s personality: fun, sassy and pleasantly extroverted. Be sure to try one of Dewey’s bayside dining landmarks -- Ivy, Northbeach and Rusty Rudder -- even if it’s only for watching the sunset over cocktails. There’s plenty of plain-and-simple goodness here – including classic Delaware pizza at Grotto’s – but also more creativity afoot at such destinations as Port (steaks, seafood, and Thai-food Thursdays); Woody’s East Coast Bar & Grill (the crab cakes get raves); Whiskey Beach BBQ & Saloon; Que Pasa; and Nalu Hawaiian Surf Bar & Grill.
