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. ❤️

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!

I’m gluten free and my boyfriend is plant based, so this stop was exactly what we were seeking having come down from NYC to visit my parents. The options and the quality of the food were remarkable. It doesn’t taste like a chain, it tastes like someone cares and is on a mission for the greater good of seeing our relationship with food differently. I was surprised to see the 5 star reviews, but the hype is something you feel and experience. I wish this owner the best of success as they deserve it. Also the protein options wonderful! The gluten free (celiac) noodle options fantastic, and the chocolate vegan cheesecake bowl 🥣- yummmmyyyy

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!

I can't thank Kristina’s Kitchen Express enough. I have Celiac Disease and always feel deprived of food and dessert when eating out, not here! I picked up the peanut butter pie, black and white cake, peanut butter ball and the snickers bites with a latte. Everything was delicious. I will definitely be back to try some food as well as a cold coffee beverage when in town. Next time, I will try Kristina's Kitchen, LLC on Reba Rd. I was told they have even more gluten free 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!

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. 🩷

Kim Stewart

Best gluten free pizza

Dawn Stewart

Good tasting gluten free pizza, good bar service.

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.

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love Ted’s. From the warm, welcoming service—especially from our favorite bartender—to the incredible food, every visit is a treat. The bison burger (Canyon Creek, whoop whoop!) is always a standout, and the Gluten-Free buns? Absolutely drool-worthy! But let’s talk about the fries… oh my goodness, the fries. Hands down the best I’ve ever had. Made fresh on-site, they’re crispy, golden perfection, and my son loves watching the potatoes transform into something so delicious. Ted’s is more than just a restaurant for us—it’s a place we’ll keep coming back to, time and time again.

Carolyn

We stayed in OCMD and I was searching all week online for places like this, specially bc my daughter can't have dairy or gluten. But I also just wanted good coffee, on our way home, we passed this place and decided to wait for them to open. I'm so glad we waited because it was delicious and my daughter was able to eat something out. The breakfast sandwiches were good too.

Michelle Cooper

Beautiful restaurant! Awesome gluten free menu! Service was spot on perfect. No gluten cross contamination. A great experience.

Jared Bennett

Food was delicious and reasonable for the beach! Loved how they are very great with allergies and are gluten free for celiac’s. I am very appreciative with there service when asking several questions about there procedures that prevent cross-contamination. 10/10 will be back again!

Came for an early dinner for my first time ever at this sodel concepts. Location the Wednesday before Labor Day weekend 2024. A friend who drove down from his place in downtown Rehoboth, picked me up & drove to cottage Cafe. We did not have to wait more than a minute to be seated. With a degree in hotel, restaurant MGMT myself, & over 30 yrs in the business, I'm always aware of how important it is, whether front of the house or back of the house, when it comes to the importance of first & last impressions. My normal very calm friend concerned me when after 10 minutes of us seated, me w/ my gluten-free menu, him w/ his regular menu, began to show a little bit of impatience on his face. An urgent look that I knew I needed to take action upon. B/c after more than 10 mins, we had yet to even be greeted by a single server or employee saying or acknowledging our presence, or anything like "we'll be with you shortly." Worse, 2 other tables in that far back room each were attended to w/ servers, 1 in what appeared to have a sort of server in training scenario. (In this time, they had not only given their drink orders but received their drinks & were now giving the servers their food orders.) I got up, rushed as quickly as I could to the front door where I found 3 employees, 2 young girls and one older, possibly sat us originally - not sure- but who immediately after listening to me, asked me to take her to our table, where she immediately did everything correctly to diffuse the situation & made everything worthwhile for the rest of our stay at that establishment. It's my thought that this woman more likely than not was the mgr on duty that night. I could be incorrect but I believe her to have either a reddish or Auburn style color hair.(Not blonde, not dark). Very excellent demeanor. Not defensive whatsoever. Completely wonderfully attentive & apologetic. Was able to take our drink orders and our somewhat complex food order with no issues whatsoever of forgetting a thing . When our server who was assigned to us did come to greet us: she did apologize very genuinely. And to let me know the french fries, although listed on my Gluten-Free menu, that it's in fact a menu error/ cross-contamination issue. Was very happy with the side choice that I went with- Your coleslaw. Which was/is just slightly better than the batch I tried when I had food delivered the night before from Northeast seafood and kitchen. I was really wanting to have salmon. But unfortunately that was not on the gluten-free menu. Your kitchen went above & beyond, Pan searing the jerk salmon entree to perfection except without the jerk seasoning per my request. My friend absolutely raved about his scallops entree- also raving about the seasonal vegetables, & happy that he could take home a little bit of each as he was unable to finish his entire entree! Always enjoy your homemade sodas- root beer is excellent! Wished that they were still available by the bottle but that's being nitpicky. It was a little disappointing, however that both at Blue Coast and at cottage Cafe stock was down significantly on the four options that were normally available. You were completely out of at least two of the options at both places. I guess I would have thought that the Wednesday leading up to a Labor Day weekend you would have had a full stock of all of the sodas. Looking forward to a time when I can try the...it was either black cherry vanilla or cherry vanilla soda.

Acai bowl was delicious. It was a little pricey but worth it. I absolutely loved that they had gluten free granola because most places don't cater to that need. And they sell it separately! Will definitely be back soon.

Linda Ferro

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!)

Eric

My wife and I came here because of their sensitivity with allergies. She can’t have dairy and I can’t have gluten (celiac disease). They did an exceptional job. They washed the slate very thoroughly for both of us. I had gluten free cookie dough ice cream and it was delicious. The service was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Angela M Ferguson

Stopped in for lunch with clients and tried their queso burger with a gluten free bun. Delicious!

Chloe Schmidt

This place has amazing food and kind employees. They let me taste a smoothie I was unsure about getting and offered gluten free granola because of my allergy (which I haven’t really ever heard of). They had some nice deck tables outside to sit on. The atmosphere was great and loved the plants! Yummy food and options for anyone with strict diets! (Vegan, vegetarian, gluten free). Definitely recommend!!

Marcia O'Toole

Interesting, delicious, and beautiful plates and cocktails. Vegan, gluten-free and mocktail options offered.

Amanda Ahrnsbrak

I have a gluten allergy and I'm also allergic to bananas and strawberries. The staff is so helpful and absolutely amazing!

Jim Young

Awesome atmosphere and food. Loved the queso with chorizo. Also, I managed to stay gluten free!

Sonia Lopez

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!

Rick K

Took our nephew and his daughter there to eat. Nephew is gluten free. They were extremely accommodating to him. My wife got the cod, she said it was delicious.

S Dicarlo

Really enjoyed the gluten free penne pasta with bolognese. Would definitely get it again.

Alissa Thorell

We had a great dinner here! We brought four adults and three young kids and everyone was very happy. They worked with my gluten intolerance to serve chicken salad on lettuce. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were very clean. My husband had 1.21 Gigahops and really enjoyed it. The cheeseburger was wonderful too. I would definitely recommend this place!

AJ

First time going for dinner. Would have preferred a table with 2 burners since we have someone gluten free. Since we had to share a cooking pot, all of the gluten free food had to be cooked first.

If you're looking for bold flavors and a fun, retro vibe, Taco Reho is the spot! This music-themed taco joint delivers not only on atmosphere but also on incredible food. I had the chance to try the Baja Fish, Grilled Shrimp, and Beef Shorty tacos, and each one was a hit. The Baja Fish was perfectly crispy, with just the right amount of seasoning and a fresh, tangy slaw that balanced every bite. The Grilled Shrimp was juicy and packed with flavor, complemented by vibrant toppings that made it stand out. But the real surprise was the Beef Shorty—tender, rich, and melt-in-your-mouth good. The blue berry lemonade was a hit! Everything is fresh and made to order. Beyond the fantastic tacos, Taco Reho is also a great choice for those who are celiac-sensitive, offering gluten-free options that don’t compromise on taste, as well as vegan options. It’s refreshing to find a place that caters to different dietary needs while still delivering top-tier flavors. A nostalgic rock-and-roll atmosphere, and food that keeps you coming back for more, Taco Reho is a must-visit for any taco lover!
