Arena’s Deli

So cheap and delicious. Loree was such a ray of sunshine as a waitress. Also loved the variety of coffee blends! Great experience.

Never disappoints! Their soups are so savory and tasty and I always get their chicken ceasar wrap! Best sandwich shop in the area!

We order from here on nights where we’re at The Avenue and in need of some semi-​latenight foods. The sandwiches are great and the staff is nice! My girlfriend is partial to the french dip, but I like the Texas Chicken myself. The only thing that really kept this from being a 5 Star review is the bun. Biting into a hot chicken sandwich only to have the bottom bun be really cold kinda takes away from the food, but other than that it’s good!

This place is friendly and welcoming. Staff is nice and attentive. Lots of regular specials. Large outdoor seating area.
But.
The bathrooms open directly into the eating area. Very unappetizing. And the food is fairly average.
We ordered s hummus plate and the hummus was crumbly. And the broccoli looked unwashed.
The mozzarella sticks were ok.
The fish and chips was eh. Fish had no taste. And fresh fries were bland. And there were thousands of them in the basket.
A fried shrimp basket was likewise tasteless.

We started the meal off with mac n cheese bites and mozzarella sticks. Both were soo good! I loved the mac n cheese bites sauce, it tasted like srircha and ranch (?). I ordered the onion and mushroom cheesesteak and it was good — nothing great about it. plus they come with chips and the bags are less than half full. I will give them that the sub is completely filled with meat though.
We also ordered captain morgan drinks and the captain + diet coke I got tasted more like diet coke than any captain. The shots we took also tasted watered down. It’s a good place to go if you’re in the area but not necessarily a place I would recommend. It does the job but eh.

My cousin got the Granny Smith sandwich back in 1999 and it’s been on my mind since. I found it on the menu that was in a welcome book at the house we are renting on school lane. My cousin and I just got the sandwiches (mine without onions) and it was hands down the BEST thing I have ever eaten!!! The honey mustard mixed with the crisp apples made me want to get a second one! Thankfully we have the rest of the week in rehobeth so I will be getting one when I introduce my mom and sister to it! Mmmmmmm!!!

Stopped in her twice on my last visit. Chose to sit inside on both visits though there is covered outside seating. Enjoyed the ruben & tots, along with a Stella cider (and many different beers to chose from). My girls loved their sandwiches. With our second visit the use of salt was a bit heavier but thankfully we are salt fans. Service is efficient, prices are reasonable. The TVs give a variety of sporting events to take in. My tweens both give it a big thumbs up so it’s a definite keeper for our family

Food is good at arena’s. However, they won’t deliver to a Rehoboth address. Claimed it was «too far.» Why even have delivery?

Really liked this place! The wait staff was fabulous and the happy hour was amazing! The half price appetizers were really good and the sandwiches were stuffed beyond belief! We asked for two plates to split a sub and they not only brought the plates but an extra bag of chips and pickle.
When the happy hour was about to end, the waiter came over to ask us if we wanted to squeeze in more drinks or food on special!
They have theme nights with different items. We will be returning again– this week!

I had the southwestern chicken sandwich which was surprisingly decent. I had low expectations due to the low star rating, but this is comparable to my favorite guac chicken sandwich near my alma mater. The chicken was cooked well and seasoned well and the guac definitely was not homemade but honestly, not that bad. They added sprouts without a surcharge when requested which is awfully nice. The bread, which I was expecting some oversized, dry, overbearing kaiser roll was actually pretty decent. The pickle is nothing to rave about, but it wasn’t a rubbery neon green Vlasic either.
The garden salad was quite impressive! Boardwalk food tends to be mediocre and caters to a very middle-​America crowd but it was prepared beautifully with fresh sprouts, crisp cukes and red onions, and juicy red tomato slices. It was massive too! I was totally expecting some iceberg lettuce abomination but we got a pretty decent salad.
Fish tacos I would definitely pass on (nothing taco-​like about it other than the shape. Eat a real taco and then cry about this one) but it wasn’t «terrible” — the fish served by itself could have been decent in fish and chips but did not belong in a store-​bought flour tortilla with shredded cabbage and mayo.

Great place for a reasonably priced meal daily money savings specials. Thursday is $ 5 sandwiches when most any sandwich on the menu is $ 5. Wait staff excellent. Atmosphere ok. Pet friendly outside seating.

Death fries and hot tots are on point! So is the BLT, great place to eat and hang out!

The service is very quick and nice which makes up for the fact that the food is okay for the city’s only deli. Just don’t expect it to be a New York style deli and you won’t be disappointed.
They also deliver on the beach which is a really big plus for the beach bums. Very good bloody Mary’s!

Ordered take out from the Lewes Location for lunch. Ordered a Santa Fe Salad. It’s not on the actual online menu but it was on a special menu. I knew this cuz a friend told me! Food was huge. Well worth the price. They are known for the death fries! Which I did not get near! Even though they sounded amazing!

Fun atmosphere and our bartender Kevin was great! Will definitely come back next time we are in town. Loved the happy hour specials.

Went here for date night with the hubby. I like that its kinda offset, without the hustle & bustle of the strip. We sat outside at 11pm, so the breeze was nice n it turned out to be a peaceful n romantic evening. The chicken nachos were good but average. Don’t pay extra for the guacamole. I love guac n this is not what I’m used to. It was pastey, a purée baby food consistency. I prefer mine a bit chunky n flavorful n this guac was neither of the two. The sandwiches however were to die for!!! My husband must’ve said at least ten times how great this buffalo chicken cheesesteak was. I ordered the Reuben’s Reuben, which was scrumptious. Coleslaw n sour kraut together? Who would have thought these would compliment each other so well. All in all, yummy food, nice atmosphere, definitely would come back!

Come down and get the Hot Tots, tator tots with bacon, siracha ranch, cheese, and jalapeños. Truly a fantastic bar snack. Devoured in 7.5 minutes. Followed up with a Yuengling! Bar food made awesome!

While the food was okay the service was terrible. The sign read «seat yourself.» There were a number of empty tables but they all had yet to be bussed. We waited 10 minutes or so with numerous staff walking by and not doing anything before walking inside and politely asking if we could sit at the tables that hadn’t been bussed. The server said, «We’re understaffed today so you’re just going to have to wait» very rudely. She then later said right behind us to another staff member, «Wow, these customers are SO impatient.»
We then waited a while (close to 30 minutes) to be served our food even though it was off peak time for lunch. We got nachos and a shrimp salad wrap. The shrimp salad wrap was very good. The nachos, however, were a waste past the top layer. 80% of the chips had no cheese or other toppings on them.
Then just to get the check took more than 20 (I timed it) which was also frustrating.
I understand that the restaurant may have been understaffed which is certainly hard for the employees. But the rudeness with the customers was still unacceptable.

Not a good experience. Soup was late and cold. Mrs Paul’s breaded fish triangles for fish & chips. Sent out some aioli instead of tartar sauce but would not replace fish covered with the aoli. Undercooked fries. Ran out of pretzels for crab pretzel app.
Been going for years. Disappointed how awful our dinner was; and no one gave a second thought to try harder or make it up.

A vacation tradition.
Food is simple, American fare and they have a decent selection of vegetarian options.
It is usually a bit crowded, but the service is always personable and attentive.
Huge beer selection.
