dogfish head brewings & eats

dogfishheadbrewery's pub in rehoboth sticks to a grand selection of their own brews and pub bites. the restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, both enclosed with wooden walls. i went with some people the other day to get some drinks and try some food. i had a glass of their mida's touch, which was delicious. it wasn't very sweet, but it was just sweet enough and was very smooth and light. the poutine had a beer flavored gravy, which was alright. the cheese on the fries definitely made it delicious. the spinach and mozzarella cheese dip covered toasted pita bread, the dip having a strong touch of citrus. i wasn't the biggest fan of the citrus flavor, but everyone else seemed to like it. for the portions, the prices were very reasonable and the food was prepared quickly. i'm definitely glad i got to check this pub out.

poor service/food. just returned from a fantastic getaway in lewes/rehoboth, de. my girlfriend and i started the trip off with a tour of the dogfishheadbrewery, followed by two nights at the new dogfish inn. we saved the brewhouse in rehoboth for our last night. this was an extremely poor choice. a place that is deemed the "soul of the company" by sam the owner, could not have been further from the truth. it started off with a lousy server. having ordered a sample of their distilled liquors, as well as a mixed drink, two ice waters, and a diet cola, we failed to receive our ice waters...that we asked our server for twice of a span of twenty minutes. (that long, because we only saw her twice in that whole time).
now, i know, that place gets pretty busy, however, this was late in the evening, on a tuesday night and there were a handful of empty tables, and no waiting customers. we finally had to grab a busser and ask that kind woman for ice water. eventually, ice water was delivered right at the time our main course was delivered (we already had our appetizers).

we both ordered burgers and our fries were luke-warm, half soggy, half hard as a rock, one was completely raw! really? how does that happen? at this point, there was no way we were complaining, as the server never came back to check-in. my girlfriend wanted a refill of her water and diet cola, which were left on the very edge of the table, begging to be refilled, yet the server ran past numerous times to return to other tables and never once stopped and asked how the food was or asked if we wanted drink refills. it was a real shame, as i was anticipating buying a lot of drinks that evening, yet, never went further than the liquor sampler and the mixed drink.

extremely dissatisfied with the whole experience, what a shame. will not be back to visit the place dogfish all started. i would warn others to think twice before visiting as well.

dogfishheadbrewing company is the reason that we went to rehoboth in the first place, so it seemed fitting that we would eat at some point in the place where it all started.

positive experience. my boyfriend and i are huge dogfishheadbeer fans and planned to do a brewery tour/ beach day on our way traveling from dc to nyc. the tour was awesome and we then planned to eat at the actual restaurant afterwards. there was no wait to sit outside and it was a beautiful day so we opted for that. loved the garden like atmosphere. we each did a sampler platter of the beer- my favorite being the midas touch. we split the lamb sliders and the short rib fries. the goat cheese tzatziki on the sliders was delicious and the lamb seasoned with cumin was cooked nicely. there were three to an order. the short rib fries had a white cheddar ale sauce on them and it was a heaping portion with lots of meat, which was very good. several of the desserts sounded delicious but we were too full. out service was quick and efficient with no issues. id highly recommend visiting if in the rehoboth beach area and enjoy craft brew

great food, brews, & atmosphere!. let me start off by saying that this restaurant is awesome!
my friends and i were vacationing in rehoboth around easter last year and decided to make a stop at the "famous" dogfishheadbrew pub. with the great beer and a rockin' band, we ended up staying for over 7 hours. yes, you read right...7 hours!! the service was phenomenal-she kept the drinks coming and didn't pressure us to order food or more beer. we ended up ordering appetizers as the night went on (along with many pints and martinis with their house-made vodka...yum!). the apps were good and the butternut squash soup was great. i can't comment for my friends but they seemed pretty happy with their burgers and pizzas as well.
overall that night was a great success and one that will live on as one of the best nights ever! we are planning a trip back this year. can't wait!!

this is where it all began! this is the mecca for all true dogfishheadbelievers. noisy, raucous, family friendly. the food is good but quality not quite what is was in years past.

overall, dogfishheadbrewings & eats is a casual spot along the main strip in rehoboth beach that is great for beer, but go somewhere else to eat.

if you like the flavor profiles of dogfishheadbeers, you will probably enjoy their food, too. the mash byproducts from their brewing process are sold as feed to local farmers, who in turn produce the beef for their burgers.

the pizza was okay. i had the alpine idyll with goat cheese, mushrooms, arugula, prosciutto, and balsamico, and it was fine, but i wasn't expecting the crust to be more tortilla-like than bready. the antelope sliders are not to be missed, though, and the chicory stout bacon chocolate cheesecake is definitely worth a try.

good place to socialize...not eat. we went to dogfishheadfor a meal and a few rounds. the beer, naturally, was good. the appetizer, the dog pile was artichoke-spinach dip and melted mozzarella cheese covering very oily pita wedges. we ordered hamburgers which were overpriced and undercooked....sent them back and the new ones came back undercooked again. the fries were greasy. overall, not very healthy or good tasting food but a good place to go for beer.

below average food quality. peak season service was also lacking. order your favorite dogfishheadbeer at a proper restaurant. there is no need to suffer through this in a town with many dining options.

4/5 star - one of the best microbrewies on the east coast. if you're in town and don't make a stop here, beer connoisseurs might smack you behind theheadand wonder what's wrong with you! i enjoyed this place a lot and the staff was friendly and helpful. my best seasonal brew will have to be aprihop, but definitely go for the sampler. it's the best way to experience what they have to offer.

since opening in 1995, dogfishheadbrewings & eats has been one of the anchors of rehoboth’s casual dining scene. maybe “dining” is not the right word, as dfhb&e is first and foremost a brewpub. the food is hearty, straightforward and honest, served in m
