Food was very good. Service was excellent. Great event for the kids. Would definitely do it again because of how much our daughter and her friends loved it.

Had a wonderful dining experience. The food, drinks, and service were outstanding. The Bang Bang Shrimp were the best I've ever had. When in Rehoboth Beach, don't miss dining here.

I recently visited Downtown Blues BBQ in Rehoboth and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere is laid-back and inviting, perfect for a casual meal with family or friends. The service was prompt and friendly, with staff who were happy to provide recommendations. The star of the show, of course, was the food. The BBQ was cooked to perfection – smoky, tender, and packed with flavor. I tried the pulled pork and ribs, both of which were outstanding.

Service was very attentive. Orange Crush drink was reasonably priced. Baby Back Ribs were cooked to perfection. The baked bean side dish was the best version of baked beans I have ever tasted. My wife ordered the crab cakes—something I would never do at a “rib place.” But it was fantastic! Highly recommend it. Had to take one home they were so big. (You get two.) Will try the Friday night Crab Cake special the next time we are in town. Highly recommend this place!

Food was excellent. Cornbread starter was perfect. Service, so-so at best. Took awhile to get her to come around to ask about drinks etc but the kitchen delivered the food when it was ready so we didn’t have to wait on her. Bar seemed very fun, next time we will sit there.
