Sussex Public House

We ended up in a Goldilocks situation where the first restaurant we went to turned us away, the second was way too loud, then like magic SPH was there and just right. This restaurant is outstanding! We came in, sat down, and were immediately impressed with the clean design of the location and the friendliness of the staff. I tried to sort through the draft menu, which has excellent detail and description, before opening up the regular menu and seeing some great specialty drinks. I got the campfire old fashioned and it just worked. The description looked like a lot, but it just worked together really well. The smoke laden presentation like the fire had just gone out was excellent and left a slight lingering smokiness that was complementary and not overpowering. The bartender balanced

It was fine. But for a gastro house though, I expect more. Example something simple like the red potatoes with grated cheese was basically canned grated cheese vs. freshly ground cheese. For what you pay there it should be a step up and I just didn't get there (placing it on a giant cutting board looks nice though). On a positive side the burger was good, and the short rib good. But the mahi was ok, and the chicken rubbery. Drinks were ok as well. Of those we tried the mezcal was worth a try.

10/10 Stumbled upon this place as I was walking down Rehoboth after being turned away from two other restaurants (understandably it was a Saturday evening in June) and I walked in with my dog. The manager was awesome, sat me on the patio and the service was phenomenal. Amazing food too! Do yourself a service and stop by Sussex Public House — you won’t regret it! I know I didn’t!

My boyfriend and I were looking for a good meal our last night in Rehoboth and boy did we find it! We had the butcher's food flight and even ordered an extra round of the steak tips because they were so delicious! Our waiter, Eddie, really made our night. He was extremely attentive and friendly providing us with suggestions for the best items to try. If you are looking for a fantastic meal and excellent service, you've got to check this place out. Can't wait to come back!

Had a great experience here with my friends on Saturday night. We came in during a later time and ended up being probably the last guests in the building. (Side note, why do Rehoboth restaurants/bars seem to close early? Especially on a weekend night?) We only had dessert and shots, but the desserts were amazing. The Tiramisu “Martini” was extraordinarily rich and flavorful. The staff was friendly, even though it was closing time. I would come back to try other menu items/drinks…very good job!
