Really great atmosphere. Great food. Shoutout to the restaurant for having safe gluten free food and having a variety of options. We will be back next vacation!
Awesome kid friendly eats in Rehoboth. Pasta is made in-house and everything is freshly prepared. Lots of options for both kids and adults as well as great gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. Plenty of seating for large groups. Best food quality bang for your buck in the area!
I ate the grilled blackened shrimp skewers (appetizer size with butter), The Chopped Salad, and I had crustless Key Lime pie, which was pretty big (to be honest). All were delicious! The rootbeer is gluten-free too (Maine Roots brand). Coke products served. Sorry no pictures, but it was all delicious. No reactions at all! I waited several hours before posting my review. I'm a highly sensitive celiac with a wheat allergy too. ❤️
The food was good. They have a great selection of Gluten free pancakes, French toast and crepes as well as gluten free bread. Our server was great, Dale. Nice spot situated 1 min from the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk.
6/2025 This time we ordered bowls for pickup, the ponzu glass noodles are so good, we also got spinach, chipotle chicken, balsamic mushrooms, garlic broccoli, and the chimichurri sauce. We loved it so much that we got it 2 days in a row! Dedicated gluten free for anyone who can’t have gluten! 5/2025 Employees were super friendly! We had smoothies and cheesecake, both were great. Will be back to try the bowls!
Delicious pizza. Your mouth will water just walking from the parking lot from the smell of the wood stove. As someone with celiac, I was happy to see that most of their pizzas could be made gluten-free and the wait staff was knowledgeable. My wife's wheat pizza was excellent too. They have table service, bar service, and takeout options.
We've been going to the Bethany Blues on Route 1 near Lewes for several years while on our annual Rehoboth Beach trip. The food and service is always excellent, but I'm writing this review to give them the credit they deserve for being amazing with gluten restrictions/celiac. Every single time, when I mention my gluten free diet, a manager is sent to our table and is very knowledgeable about their gluten free options.
I have been gluten free since 2008 and eat out multiple times a week so I can attest that this place is definitely one of the best in handling this restriction. While most restaurants are familiar with GF diets these days, not many make a point to train their management on it and have such a consistent plan in place (they also said they now offer a gluten free bun which is great). I had the pulled pork with cheesy creamed corn and a chopped salad and it was delicious and a generous portion.
Thanks, Bethany Blues, for being so accommodating!
Nectar consistently delivers great food and drinks. I love the vegetarian and gluten-free options. The no tuna fish salad is the best!! My husband is not vegetarian and gluten-free, but he loves their food too!
Busy but only a 5 minute wait. Waitress (Kayla) was very attentive! When she saw you were low on a drink, she brought another before you had time to ask for one. Delicious food! Best burger I ever had!! Gluten free menu available.
The young lady at the front was sweet, had a smile on her face & the seating area outside was cute! As for the food, not so cute…
Everything we ordered is something we would normally order from any spot that serves breakfast.
For ~$37 we got 1 iced chai, 1 Arnold Palmer, 1 French toast muffin & 2 bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches on ciabatta rolls. One had extra bacon, one subbed for scrambled egg at no extra cost.
1. The chai latte looks & tastes like it’s almost entirely oat milk with cinnamon… disappointing.
2. The Arnold Palmer tastes like unsweetened lemon water?? Like *barely* brewed tea, lots of lemon and water…
3. The breakfast sandwich starts at $6 and ended up $9.75 & $12.75 (+$3 for extra bacon)
We opted for ciabatta’s bc the bagels on display look like grocery store bagels.
The “ciabatta” was very dry and I’m wondering if it was gluten free bread.
There was SO MUCH black pepper on the bacon?? The scrambled egg tasted like premixed carton/rehydrated eggs.
4. The muffin was not bad, but idk if it was made in-house
10/10! We went there for my son’s birthday and Chloe & Joan couldn’t have been any kinder or attentive. The food was delicious and fresh, the coffee hit the spot, too! I appreciated the gluten free options as well. Thanks for making his birthday breakfast so special. 🩷
Came here because of the reviews mentioning gluten free options. The place was packed but we were seated quickly, asked for a table outside and got it. Great view. Dolphins swimming in the water. The restaurant is very loud. Water comes by default in a plastic to go cup. I think they're trying to get you in and out as fast as possible.
I asked for a gluten-free menu, they said they are in the process of printing one and showed me a sheet of paper i took a photo of. At the table there was very little talk of dietary restrictions, the server did check with the kitchen if what I'd chosen was compliant gluten free dairy free but there was no attempt at helping select something. I honestly think they didn't understand or care how serious an issue that is for some people.
My companion who can eat anything ordered a pepperoni flat bread and described it as "meh". I ordered the octopus which came with "apple puree" that tasted like absolutely nothing and i mean nothing and the texture was like grainy mashed potatoes that sat on the counter for two days drying out. I suspect there was hidden butter in it because of how i felt after eating it. Also ordered a "veggie bowl". Instead of actually making something with this, they just slapped a bunch of ingredients on a plate, added a cup of tamari on the side and called it a day. At least i hope it was tamari. Feeling as bad as i did after eating here could have been caused by gluten containing soy sauce or butter.
This was neither good, nor priced appropriately, not safe if you have a food allergy.
Not a great place if you have celiac disease. We have been visiting this restaurant for a while and didn't have issues until recently. The last visit I was sick afterwards from what I assume was cross contamination. We tried again today stressing that I have celiac disease. After making some modifications to the meal (which was marked as a gluten free option) and being assured everything would be ok as they have a celiac button that alerts the kitchen I was brought a burger that had a fried onion topping and the burger itself was fried (they do not have a dedicated gluten free fryer). I sent the meal back telling the server it wasn't safe after he kept telling me it was. He came back and confirmed it was not safe. When the manager came over to check on us 15 minutes later he offered to make me a salad with no protein to make up for it since that's faster.
Anyway long story short not all the staff is trained on cross contamination or food allergies for that matter. Eat at your own risk...
Sweet Melissa's is always an absolute delight. Staff is kind, patient and accommodating (Shout-out to Gianluca, Annie and Sydney!). As someone with Celiac's it's also really nice to have a bakery to go to that is so careful and considerate of a wide variety of dietary needs and restrictions. I've gotten several pastries and other items over the years since I discovered this gem in the heart of Middletown and I have never once had a cross-contamination reaction. My husband and I have occasionally stopped in to have dates here and I could easily spend the day writing here. There are games available for kids too, so it's really a family-friendly spot. Anyone who needs (or wants) a bakery absolutely can and should patronize Sweet Melissa's!
If you have any sort of allergy, Sweet Charlie’s is the place to go! They have gluten-free, dairy free, vegan and even more options! My 10 month old daughter has a severe dairy allergy, and they accommodated her terrifically. They thoroughly disinfected all the materials, assured that it was known with all staff, and were so kind and genuinely happy to be there. This was her first time trying ice cream and it was such an awesome experience from start to finish!
One of the best spots for safe, delicious gluten-free food! Staff takes celiac seriously, manager confirmed separate cooking for my food.Clearly marked menu (GF/GFO). Favorites: shrimp & grits, crabcake sandwich, and that weirdly amazing potato salad. Even my gluten-eating husband loves it! Our favorite restaurant in Lewes & Reho.
EVERYTHING WAS PHENOMENAL. It’s the 2nd time I was able to eat here safely having Celiac Disease. Delicious food & great service! Special thanks to our awesome server, GARRETT! :) Can’t wait to come back again! :) ( If I was a local, I’d be here more often!)
Hold cow! I’ve had a lot of bbq given my southern state childhood, and nothing can top this one! Amazing staff that will help you decide what you want, and their food is HEAVEN. I had one order, and I was mad I was too far away to get another order. The meat is juicy, and portions are more than fair. You MUST try out their potato salad!
Also thank you staff for accommodating customers allergic to gluten!

We are vacationing close to Bethany and came across this gem! We are gluten free and dairy free, and it was amazing to be able to eat such great food without having to worry. It can be such a challenge. The staff is so helpful and the food is so good!
Ate brunch and dinner and we will be back tomorrow! Prices are very reasonable and quality is great!
The food was good but I felt that it was pretty expensive for what it was. They had some good gluten free options and their staff was very helpful walking us thru the menu.
We had dinner there tonight. We are a large group 6 adults and 5 children and an infant. Our one grandson has Celiac’s. And when we asked about getting just the shrimp skewers for him due to his Celiacs—the server said the manager would be over that they take allergies very seriously. The manager came over within a few moments and he was so nice and said it would not be a problem and that it would be marked as an allergy order and how it would be handled. The overall service was EXCELLENT! The food was excellent! I highly recommend them!
We have never had a bad meal or bad service at this location and they just continue to get better every time we go. If you have food allergies or if you’re gluten free, this is the place for you. The manager Tiffany personally bring your food to you and will address any concerns you. It’s evident that Tiffany truly cares about providing a great dining experience. She is a true joy and one a kind. Our server - Lisa was equally as fantastic and helped with our gluten concerns and reward points. I wished she could have joined us at our table she was so personable! Can’t talk highly enough about this restaurant - this is our #1 spot at the DE beaches! On a side note their Ranch is home made and the best Ranch sauce I have ever had! Photos are of gluten free Chesepeake Tortellini and a gluten free chocolate and peanut butter pie to die for.
The best meal I’ve had so far on my vacation! I got the gluten free chips and queso and gluten free quesadilla, my first time having a quesadilla in forever and it did not disappoint. I didn’t have a reservation but for just me I was able to be seated right away and service was fast and attentive.
Waitress screwed up food order and brought wrong food and didn't correct the receipt until we complained. Regular Pizza was awful but gluten free was good
We came for lunch on a Saturday we were seated promptly. The bread came quickly and was delicious. Our food was tasty, even the Gluten-Free pizza my daughter ordered. Brie was our waiter and she was friendly and helpful. We had a great time!
Stopped by this BBQ spot while visiting and was blown away! I came with friends to enjoy some good barbecue and definitely got more than I expected. I didn’t mention my gluten restriction at first, but when they brought out the complimentary cornbread with my ribs, I let them know—and they were incredibly kind and remade my entire meal to ensure there was no cross-contamination. The ribs? Unreal. We’re talking fall-off-the-bone, melt-in-your-mouth good. Super flavorful and perfectly cooked. Great service, delicious food, and very accommodating—I’d give it a solid 10/10 and would absolutely come back!
A great place to stop on our 3 hour drive back to Jersey from DC.
Food came out right away. My husband had the meatloaf and said it was the best meatloaf he's ever had. I had the Philly cheesesteak on a gluten free bun (which btw thank you soo much for having gluten free buns!!!)
Alexis was very nice. She checked on us regularly.
Will come back on our next road trip soon!
As someone who's always concerned about a gluten/wheat allergy issue and whether food places can accommodate, I have been here multiple times and as long as I tell someone there that my meal needs to be made GF they make sure to prepare it in a separate location. I really appreciate their effort and taking my food issues seriously. It's especially great when I've been here multiple times and each person has taken it seriously. It's such a relief that I have a safe place to eat after work sometimes ❤️ Thank you!
I discovered this place in the context of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and searching for restaurants that will cater to the new diet/lifestyle I was embarking on. The low carb lunch and sugar free/gluten free dessert options are awesome - I’ve made plenty of t2d friendly baked goods at home but they are on another level. I am so glad this place and these people exist, it’s hard to explain what it means to be able to walk into a bakery and order something without any guilt or anxiety but as cringe as it might sound it’s been a kind of powerful experience for me.
very disorganised staff. gave us wrong order. after they fixed it had to tell them to take off surcharge for gluten free. cashier could care less didnt acknowledge or apologise. dirty dining area and staff are all on their phones. stained ceiling tiles peeling paint general lack of maintenance. for $10 subs need to do better. food was ok but very sloppy and careless prep. feel like they are expanding too fast and not focusing on quality. wont be going to jersey mikes anymore
We had Wendy as our server- and she was friendly and attentive and made good suggestions. The biggest surprise was how attentive she and support staff were in regards to my gluten allergy. She not only gave me a seperate menu, but confirmed what measures the kitchen would be going to to ensure I didn’t have a problem once I ordered. Amazing and kind service and great food! Also loved the quiet, not busy atmosphere. Thanks Wendy!
Great little place with gluten free Mac and Cheese options. The rest of the menu looked great, but I was there to try the mac and cheese and it didn't disappoint!
