The Blue Hen - REHOBOTH BEACH

We ended up here when another restaurant had a 2 hour wait, and we’re glad it did! Blue Hen was fantastic. Every app, entree and dessert was delicious. Our server was great. The atmosphere was perfect.

We had a great meal. The fried chicken was amazing. It’s some of the best I have ever had. It was also nice to see corzetti pasta on the menu. You don’t find it state side often. We will be definitely going back.

Regular visitor to Rehobeth and I will 100% confirm that this is a dream come true. Our group was beyond impressed. We had Katia look after us and she was superb. dishes: raw seafood special $54ish) 5/5, soft shell crab 5/5, Manhattans 5.5, value for money 5/5, kids food was excellent. Highly highly recommend. I ended up getting a generous gift card for our hosts as a reflection of how much I think of this place.

It's definitely worth a visit for dinner or lunch. The food and service were outstanding. The menu is seasonal, so don't miss out on something you think looks good. Portions are large, and you could probably just share a large plate and an app. Dessert was also way too big for one person. The lobster toast was amazing. The fried green tomatoes desperately needed salt or old bay. The angel food cake was great but overly sweet.

The Blue Hen, connected to Rehoboth Beach’s The Avenue Inn and Spa, is as good as any five-star destination restaurant I’ve indulged anywhere in the U.S., including NYC, Vegas and Palm Springs. The experience was superlative, from resplendent ambiance and efficient team service to the exquisite food. My pal and I started with a half-dozen East Coast oysters, which were petite but delicious; and for entrees, I had the rich and robust Mafaldine, with “pasta ribbons, bacon, artichokes, lemon, cream and pecorino,” while he had seared diver scallops, which were enormous and exceptionally meaty. Utter perfection!
