Hammerheads Dockside

My friend & I stumbled upon this place a few years ago thanks to Unilocal.We had a great time, good drinks, good food. Went back a few more times, but probably never again.
I came again this summer with my family and had a horrible experience. The place was busy (as expected during the summer) and we had to wait about an hour. No big deal. We finally get seated and our waitress was the worst. I know things are hard in the service industry, but she just wasn’t even trying. She probably saw the big party, knew she’d get gratuity automatically tacked onto the bill, and just checked out. It took forever to get drinks and our appetizer took 45 minutes to come out (and then the food came out directly after). Tables that had been seated nearby after us had gotten their appetizers AND food before we even got our appetizers. When we spoke up about it, all she said was «okay.» No, it wasn’t okay. She never came to refill our drinks – I think we ended up flagging another waiter down. Her demeanor left such a sour taste in my mouth I doubt I’d go back. Plenty of other good restaurants in the area.

solid beach bar, music was fun. Little pricey but it is a resort town

Lovely location and music but the customer service does not compare to the Dewey location. Can’t comment on the food because we didn’t eat. Hostess told us every seat was reserved. Huh? We saw plenty of other people get seated. Stood around the bar so long that finally a seated patron said something and the bartender then asked, «what do you want?» Uhhhh… there are plenty of other spots to watch the sunset. We stepped inside and saw a cook eating behind the line and wiping his hands on his pants. No thanks.

Amazing crab cake ~
Salads good too!
Atmosphere «marina», so fun–
Have a great time every time we go, just very shore marina experience,

Coolest, dockside restaurant & bar in Rehoboth! We came here after docking our boat for lunch and some of their freshly squeezed orange crushes. Delicious. They have a fun and interesting menu. We started out with the crab tots. SO GOOD. Abundant pieces of lump crab and old bay sprinkled atop crunchy tots. That’s close to what heaven tastes like. I wanted the queen crab legs but they were out, so I opted for the lobster roll. Not the BEST lobster roll I’ve ever had, but it hit the spot. Most of the seating is outdoor, picnic tables in the sand. Great music, lots of American reggae (re: Soja, Rusted Root) and friendly, accommodating service. Instead of the played out boardwalk in Rehoboth, it seems like most of the locals come here to party. Can’t wait to return!

Very happy you got the kinks, My recommendation is try the crabcakes. They make a mean orange crush! Oh and I’m extremely because they brought back the tater tots, which is a very very popular item on the menu give it a try you won’t be disappointed.

What an awesome spot! Was nice to escape the Dewey Beach scene for lunch and some drinks here. Their orange and grapefruit crushes were delicious! Thoroughly enjoyed all of our meals: BBQ pork tater tots to start, Crab Cake sandwich, Baja fish tacos, the big Bad Wolf, and Shirley Hammered. Highly recommended!

Hammerheads is the greatest. TJ and LA are the greatest. Order the Cajun cheesesteak sandwich with the lager. Enjoy the sunset on the bay.

Read the reviews and since we are camping right down the street decide to try it out. WONDERFULL! Chris, at the bar was great. Pleasant, good service, good food, great atmosphere. I didn’t see anyone who appeared to be «on drugs» as a previously post mentioned. We are going back as often as we can during our stay. Didn’t find any «negatives» with this place.

Just wanted to thank the staff and management for getting us a table right away. Our father has cancer and we drove quite a distance. The wings and shrimp were excellent and we were pleased with the excellent craft beer selection. Thanks!
Great place.

I love seafood and thinking that this was right near fishing boat marina it would be good seafood. Unfortunately it was not. I was served under cooked shrimp and even SHOWED the waitress who did not seem to care (did not say sorry just said ok), did not offer us fully cooked ones, and charged us for it. The crab cake was ok but had no jumbo lump in it and a lot of filler. It was a larger crab cake so it did fill me up. I might go back just for drinks because it had more of a bar feel and it’s hard to screw up a beer.

Horrendous! Embarrassing! Brought out of town guests, long wait, not taking orders for food because they were too busy! Insane! We received our apps we ordered at the bar after 45 minutes of waiting. Spent 2 hours there and never had dinner!

Went there around 2:30pm the Saturday after Memorial weekend, which is one of the slower summer weekends. Was told there was about a 20 minute wait for a table, yet there were many open tables. Ok, we’re game to wait. After more than 30 minutes and multiple checks of the phone, we asked where we were on the list. Was told they had called us twice. Our phone never rang. We were seated at a nice table and given menus. After about 15 minutes with zero service, we gave up and left. The atmosphere is very nice but the service was horrendous. Very disappointing.

Stopped in by boat on Memorial Day Weekend — Monday @ 5:00pm. I was very happy to see they changed up the menu from last season (but kept the favorites). Love the ‘Porky Tots’, fish tacos and the wolf wrap!
Kid friendly and it is one of my favorites, but you can have a long wait… we waited 45 minutes but worth it! If you time it right, the wait is short… a party arrived at the same time our name was called and they were sat 5 min after us. :(. Timing is everything!
Great atmosphere, this is a place we will be coming to all summer long!

Very accomodating staff (great bartender/​waiter Josh) – excellent fresh food at great prices! Try the veggie wrap and crab cake sandwich as well as the Jamaican Rum Punch – amazing views!

i can imagine that this place gets crowded and full of revelers from dewey but when i went for lunch it was relatively quiet. great space for outdoor eating/​staring at the water/​boats. the food was also better than average and priced well.

Beautiful place to see sunset. Crab balls great, service better at the bar then tables. Older local crowd. Nice location-​will go again!

Total hidden gem. Great food and service and a lovely location. They are not effing around.

Awesome outside atmosphere. Live music and pet friendly. Nice selection of canned beer. Food was average. Would go back for a drink or two next time and skip the food.

Brand new spot and I can’t say I didn’t like it. The crowd was older and I could feel myself getting checked out by 50 year old women. Not sure if I was offended or flattered. The food was okay… sandwiches were fine, buffalo tots were a disappointment. Cheap beers at happy hour… mediocre beer list (no craft available). Overall this place is no harpoon Hanna’s, but it has the potential to be a decent watering hole.
