Reviews of The Starboard (Restaurant)

D Sciole

A beach stop that must be made!!! Breakfast is fabulous. Had the eggs Delmarva which is eggs benedict with crab cake. Big enough to share...if you must!!! Fun people (because everyone fun is there), fabulous food and great drinks.

Erin McGrady

Starboard has been around for what seems like forever. It's a great place no matter the time of year. In the summer it gets super crowded with people cause they have live music and a lot of good beers on tap. In the winter you can get some good deals and go play bingo for free. My wife actually won a $50 gift card to the place when she won a round of bingo. It made for a fun date night when we came back to spend it. We ended up sitting outside and having a super chill time. The server was nice and made sure our beers were never empty and the crab cake sandwich was full of a ton of lump crab meet. I liked the fries too. Definitely one of the best places in Dewey.

Teri Pool

Fresh oysters, great beer selection. Steak toasts, buffalo spiced cauliflower and po'boys all amazing. Off season, so not too crowded.

Gene Lawlor

If you like room temperature food then you'll like it

Jackie Dew

Came for breakfast. Got some classic breakfast stuff (French toast, eggs, bacon etc) My friend, however, ordered the Armadillo. It was so good.

Eric Jones

It was okay. Lots of drunk, party people. That was fun.

Paul Bieber

Except for 1 person who i addressed to the manager our server Elliott was GREAT and so was the food!

Shannon Bruno

Way too busy and young besides the "cougars!" Lol

Melissa Darbouze

Flies everywhere, my friend found hair in their food, the air conditioner was leaking on us. We couldn't get out if the fast enough. The food and service was ok

Don Partsch

Good luck getting served here - laziest bartenders on earth.

justin knott

It's my strong opinion if you get to end and start your year here. Your lucky

gingereatsoul

First time going here it's actually bigger inside than it looks from the outside but it's still packed once you get inside. There is three or four bars inside to get drinks from. Great place to go and have a fun time with friends and enjoy an adult night out.

Diane Zeigler

Amy and chop are the absolute best we love you.

Isaac Chapman

This place was freakin' LIT. Go here for a party. Their signature orange crush drink was great.

Rees Gwynn

This best breakfast in Dewey, hands down!

Jim Maddox

Fast seating. Food and drink orders were perfect

Steve McNutt Jr

Have a place down here and this is Hands down best bar in Dewey for as long as I can remember.

Michael Ridgway

Awesome food and fun atmosphere! Place gets very busy.

Alex Dunn

Picked up a carry out order here.. Crab dip, Antonio's Wrap, Cole slaw and a tossed salad. Everything was amazing. I especially liked the Wrap, the peppers had a ton of flavor. Instantly a fan of this place. The guy who rang me out was really nice too.

Mike Kelly

Well. For starters, for being a seafood restaurant there was no seafood other than a crab cake. The food is seasonally priced, but still overpriced and the food was marginal is taste.

Villian Victoria

Food was okay, lots of flies in the restaurant. Very gross

Andrew Weidler

Really good breakfast and morning cocktails

Sue Klein

Love the bloody Mary bar! Great breakfast, too. Fun vibe.

Christopher Swade

Excellent service and some amazing food. You can't go wrong with the speciality items. This place had multiple bar locations to order drinks when exploring all the incredible art on the walls. Events hosted on a regular keep things interesting at every visit! Highly recommended.

John Galembush

Too noisy for my taste...crab cakes are good.

Sally Reed

Good times always! Friendly staff, good entertainment, and the best tavern food anywhere. Always lively with a friendly crowd.

Austin Walker

Favorite beach bar in Dewey Beach and one of my all-time favorite hangout bars. Known for their famous Bloody Mary Bar, Orange Crushes, and stellar atmosphere. The Starboard is the go-to bar in Dewey Beach.

Andrew Klank

great for drinks

Tonya Trivett

Eclectic place! Great service. Younger crowd, but we felt comfortable

Brandon Hostetter

Audrey LeVault

So many breakfast choices. Great drink options. Plenty of seating and shade on the patio. Great place for a hearty brunch.

Cristina Haller

Good drinks. Good people. We finally had the opportunity to stop in and we were pleasantly surprised. They have a great setup in the off season. We can't wait to back when its fully open and operational for the season.

Ye-Way

It was lit. The vibe was different but very diverse and enjoyable. Casey was great. Need a vibe, make sure you check them out.

Adriana Felder

Came here for Sunday brunch and lived up to our expectations The free waters during the wait for a pleasant surprise Did not take too long to sit down . Food was good . Drinks were great Really fun setting . Enjoyed seeing all of the forgotten credit cards they have decorating the r and walls . Also beware if all possible go early as this is a super popular spot. Totally recommend

James Morrow

Killer omelettes in the morning, to a party you don't want to miss at night.

LES PORTER

People tell me they love place. It's the most popular spot in Dewey.

Alex Hickey

Poured both my drinks on some old head because he shoved me in the crowd. He slipped on the newly formed puddle at his feet and fell to the floor. Bouncers quickly removed him. Incredible experience.

nick polise

Watch out for the crushes, they'll get ya

tina arizzi

Fun, entertaining, and messy is what you'll get here. Security was (surprisingly) nice and drinks were fine, but go for the people watching!! People get wasted and get crazy. Youand can be one of them, watch, or do both. Great place to let loose and dance too. Casual, collegy vibe. I always pick a night to go when in Dewey.

Rosemarie Spotts

They have great breakfast

Rob Quillen

Chicken n waffles smothered in sausage gravy... out of this world Bloody Mary Bar!

Meghan Wilson

Always amazing drinks, great times and the best bartenders (Shelly and Dougie duhhh)!! And the food is everything you want during the day.

Tammie Yarrusso

The Chipped beef and my husband's burger was really good. Bloody Mary's awesome!

Jason Konley

Super fun place. Great for breakfast or just having a few drinks late. Comedy night on Tuesdays but that's hit or miss depending on your taste.

Ramon Ramos Hidalgo

So Delicioso mmmmmmm

Jb Loomis

Said we had to leave while playing beer pong before close and swung on me and let me go because they hit me for no reason. We know we can stay until 2am under Delaware laws. Starboard is a joke

Katie Schylling

Wayyyy too crowded. Lots of spilled drinks on me.

Corey Cole

Huge great crowd. Decent music

Kerianne Hofsiss

Great food and great atmosphere day or night

John Geigley

Always a great time

Adam Williams

Decent and lively beach bar with indoor and outdoor seating and bars and live music. Didn't have food but they serve up one of the better orange crushes in town as they use 2 oranges for each cocktail. Orange Crush is a local cocktail.

Barbara Placek

Family brunch during a recent visit. Bloody Mary bar was excellent! Great food and picnic table style seating. Definitely will return on next visit.

Aimee Blum

A great place to enjoy music and friends! Such a good time with my brother and sister in law!

Daniel Tracey

My rim and coke had a lot of lime seeeds in it, too mich ice on the floor (see attached picture). 1/5 stars. Would come again.

James Sturgis

We love this place! Great acts. Friendly staff. Keep up the AWESOMENESS

Lizzy Potts

I loved the vibe of the place and the food was to die for.

Lisa Wampler

Great live entertainment. Staff is awesome. A must stop on your visit to Delaware beaches

Kathleen Smith

Baha Benedict and a Baconator Bloody. So good. A bit of a wait nut worth it. Oh. And Hubbie had the a Crabby Bloody Mary. HUGE lump!

Debra McMullen

Good food, but VERY loud

Sasha Uzui

Fun, packed, loud... a great small concert venue :)

Patrick Ewell

Best bar in Dewey hands down

dan adams

Love that place great bartender.

Rachel Campbell

It's too rowdy but the food was good

Kerem Turkel

Great service, close to beach, best breakfast and massive custom Bloody Mary bar..just old and can be cleaner but they get huge volume.

Dan DiFonzo

Experience the wild side of Dewey Beach. Great Bloody Mary bar and fun party atmosphere!

Kristen Morrow

Ordered an early lunch takeout order. BLT only had 2 slices of bacon total cut in pieces. The toast was badly burned. We ordered a cheese burger medium and it was well done and they forgot the cheese. They also messed up our sides as we ordered regular fries and were given old bay fries, and one of our sandwiches was missing the chips that were listed on the menu. We will not return.

Jimbob Tucker

Alagash on tap. Mixed crowd. Dj mixing it up

Jocelyn Izzo

Always a great experience when dinning here!!! Foods awesome!!

Jane Needs-daley

Lol great food and

David Gibb

Always a lot of fun. Great live music, get a grapefruit crush!

selina strauss

Awesome spot for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just drinks

Kirstie Kelly

Had a great time here while vacationing in Dewey. It's definitely the heart of the town. Great for late night drinks, and we went back the next morning for brunch.

Chris Altomare

Large open air venue with multiple bars, dancing. Young crowd of weekend beach goers. Great brunch.

Gone 3D

Favorite place for the family for breakfast, but get there early (8-8:30). Great food and an excellent selection of adult beverages. Lunch is worth a stop if it's not packed.

Tyler Rivera

Great place for all ages (21+)

Alema Rousseau

I rarely give 5 stars to anyone so that alone says a lot. We went for a breakfast and everything from host, to server to food to ambiance and pricing was a++++. Needless to say, we're going back tomorrow. Western omelette is a dynamite but so was the raisin French toast and croissant sandwich. Highly recommend!!!!

Melanie Peterson

This place is so fun! Tasty drinks and a good time. Usually a good crowd too but sometimes has some creepy old men. I really enjoyed the orange crush. I come here all the time when I go to Bethany and it never disappoints on a good time

Stephen Bates

Best damn bar in America. Bar and wait staff kick ass. Efficient and friendly. Food is exceptional.

Bismarck Sibaja

You know the Starboard to be Dewey's definitive entertainment and dining location for generations upon generations. It's a no-brainer, fun spot during the busy beach season, of course, but did you know that it also doubles as one of the funnest and cosiest spots for a drink and hang out session in the cold months? Wasn't expecting it, but yes, indeed. Same great staff, food and fun-filled family atmosphere... even if there is snow outside.

Nomosudz Joe

Terrible experience last week. 15 year old girls running the seating. No other customers in sight, yet made to wait 15 minutes for a table. When we were led to our table, without any greeting whatsoever; we were expected to sit at a table barely suitable for 2 people. We were quite obviously; 4 full size, real people adults. C'mon, man ! And then we were treated even more rudely, when we questioned the young lady. Needless to say, we rolled outa there, and gave our money and generous tip to another establishment.

Richard Moritz

Love their breakfast (easily 5 stars)! Only reason to deduct 1 star is the bar atmosphere, but if that doesn't bother you don't hesitate to go. We usually avoid it during summer just because of parking issues in Dewey.

Mike Ellerson

Fun bar to go with a group of friends.

Emily Hromada

Great music and dancing.

Mr. Smith

They have free water in a large cooler out front. Really fair prices for drinks. Decent food. Live music. Open air / outdoor bars and seating. Very nice place to spend some time during the summer.

Nolessmylife

Best breakfast! Great portions! Bloody Mary bar is awesome with plenty of fixings and a healthy (maybe unhealthy) dose of alcohol. Great service. Right on the main drag in Dewey. I visit whenever I'm in the area.

Rich Tori

Great breakfast! Awesome staff! Can never go wrong here

Dana Sanders

Last time I was here for food was in the off season. The food and service was good, but rain was leaking through all the weird connections in the roof. There was a downspout right behind us where water was just spraying out inside the building. Looks like that part of the building used to be exterior, but now was closed in...which would explain the weird condition. Also - I heard that their raisin bread is homemade. I love the raisin bread french toast!!

Cass Swedler

Awesome good,good prices,mice selection. Very beachy for shark week!!

James May

Great place and great food.

Bradley Mitchell

Always a ton of good people but very well controlled and never wait long for drinks

James Shartzer

Best place in Dewey hands down

Allan Waschak

Great breakfast and incredible Bloody Mary Bar!!

Cd Darrell

Would be better if it was bigger always crowded

Christy S

Crowded AF with drunk girls not being able to hold their liquor... Other than that great band for St. Patrick's day weekend.

Tosin Akinduro

Cool venue. Young crowd. They card you andddddd take a pic of you when you enter (sheesh) pretty sure it's for liability issues. Plenty of police presence both on foot and mobile patrol (even at the entrance of the bar) Your best bet is to Uber or have a Designated driver (if you're lucky they can drop you off). Parking is a zoo, pay the kiosk at the end of the block (having the park mobile app is a lifesaver). Make sure you use the restroom prior to walking back to your car, a night in jail or a citation isn't worth it (junior cops/cadets/specials lurk in the bushes-no pun intended). Wait, they give/offer you free bottled water in a tub of ice when you exit(nice touch) even though it was empty when I tried to get one. Drinks are tasty and affordable. They use real oranges to make your beverages. It's a bit crowded for my liking, wish they offered VIP or even bottle service to have enough room for your group (real estate is limited). Other than that, it's a place you can come to see a bunch of 'young' college kids. Sure, I'd go again.

Logan Salvato

Has great chicken tenderrrrrrrrrrrsssss

JJMV

cant speak on the food but, I enjoyed my time here, bartenders were great.

Craig Roberts

Amazing bloody Marys... lots of choices, good atmosphere and fast service. Wendy B is the best.

Ron Wismer

I was really shocked how good this was

Joe Meslovich

The Starboard has always been a part of our family. Three generations of our family have enjoyed eating here. Breakfast at the Board is a tradition. The Bloody Marys can't be beat.

Melanie McCarthy

Best crab eggs Benedict for breakfast

Bill Goodwin

Fun place.

Jason Lippman

Yummy drinks...

Benjamin VanEvery

We went at lunch time. Delicious crab cake sandwich. Good fries! Nice outdoor seating. It's clearly a college drinking night life spot, but still a good place for lunch.

Tom Quinn

Great staff! Great drinks! Great food!

Natasha Williams

A must visit every single time in Dewey! Large portions for your buck and always smiling faces that give you the best customer service.

Jaime K.

Food and drinks are excellent and priced well. The crowd, even during the day, can be pretty rowdy. So as long as you're not expecting a quiet brunch or dinner, you re all set!

John Strawbridge

Definitely the place to be if you want a big breakfast. We came here to recover after Sunday Funday. The Starboard has a big menu of delicious options which make it difficult to decide on what to order while you’re fighting a small hangover. I ended up with one of their skillet options, chicken and waffles. It consisted of a Belgian waffle, crispy chicken fingers and eggs. I also ordered a small side of tots and sausage. The skillet comes with their sausage gravy in it, but I opted for it on the side so that the waffle wouldn’t get soggy. The portion was definitely enough to hold me over for most of the day; very tasty and a great value!

tdphomedesign55 @gmail.com Song

Food and drinks, prices is reasonable! Breakfast is great as well.

Robert Bruffey

Easily my favorite bar in Dewey. Live music, great atmosphere, and good drinks. What else is there to ask for?

Robyn Koulakjian

Grapefruit crush is the bomb dot com.

Mike Cavazzini

Great Breakfast and brunch!

Tom Garcia

Huge bar with tons of areas to dance and hang out, the drink specials are tasty and pretty good quality to boot. This place gets packed to the gills (nautical pun intended) though, so if personal space is something you particularly value, I would maybe steer clear.

Christopher Brown

Great atmosphere excellent service, I'd highly recommend their high protein omelet for breakfast, it really gives you the energy you need for a great day in the sun.

Alex Ferdinand

Came here 3 days in a row for a bachelor party and a mustache themed pub crawl/fundraiser and it did not disappoint! We even saw Scott Van Pelt there, who I hear is a regular, and he is just as cool in person as he is on television. If someone as cool as SVP thinks that this is the spot to be, then you can bet your marbles it actually is! There's a rowdy and young crowd, a wall of different hot sauces, a bloody mary bar, live music and so much more.

Brussels Penka

Went post Labor Day. Food was okay, ambiance was okay, bang for the buck nothing to write home about. Found other places with better choices. Will return and try again as first time visit.

Deborah Freso

Great Crab Benedicts, Good people. Excellent bloody Mary bar

Drake Coder

It was a good place to eat but we had some freak staring at us.

A M

Delicious food, lively atmosphere, and close proximity to the beach! We had the sand tots, Scott Van Melt and Lump Crab Cake Sandwich. Everything from the menu sounded so good too, will definitely be coming back. We dined here at night and the service was fast and top-notch, pretty impressive considering it was still quite busy. Overall a great establishment!

Susan Odle

Good for breakfast want good this time and sweat was in middle of isle in bar area

Bryan Webb

Great brunch! Perfect for fueling the party weekend and curing that hangover. Elvis on Sundays.

adam lapinski

Travis Shalaby

Good experience

Jeanne McGowan

Everyone loves the board, service and drinks are unbeatable

Britney Carter

We went to see the Bumpin Uglies and it was PACKED so I really don't even know what the place looks like. It was jard to get to the bar in that room to get a drink. I did like that they were showing the band on video monitors through the rest of the place.

Paula Sorg

Great Bloody Mary Mix!!

Steven Schenck

First time there was great

Jim Rose

Fun place for drinks, missing and commiserating!!!

We sat on the deck for breakfast. Wendy was great, on top of our order and checking on us. They have a great breakfast menu , and one of the few places that served tater tots.

Alex Martin

Amazing Bloody Mary bar!

Jason Lee

Had our family reunion in Dewey. Went here for dinner and was very good. Excellent crab cakes.

Diane Perkins

Was having a great time here yesterday St Patrick's Day/opening day meeting nice people and having a great time listening to the good bands but my purse went missing and someone stole my ATM bank card and ended up using it at the Purple Parrot racking up a hundred and $140 on my card. Thankfully one of the bartenders found my purse and everything else was in there except for my bank card and my cash

Nicole Donaldson

So much fun on a Saturday night. They had live music which was so unique from your typical bar/club scene on a Saturday. Only complaint was it was so crowded and hot. But that is just proof how great it is!

Beverly Runge

Fun casual place

Tami Shanholtz

Yummy drinks ,fun atmosphere

Jim Gordon

Had a great time, breyrito was delish and went well with the house mix bloody mary's.

Sam Williams

Always a good time. Draws big crowds usually on the younger college side but never had any issues.

DAN HULSE

Great sunday breakfast..the cinnamon raisin french toast...really really good.
