The Starboard Restaurant is Dewey’s most famous venue for fun, great times, and tremendous service! It has been home-awayfrom-home for most Dewey Beach visitors over our 55+ year history.


The Starboard truly holds a special place in more people’s hearts than anyone could ever imagine! The Starboard was originally built and opened by Duke Duggan around 1960 and has gone through several changes over its years. Purchased and run by the Hearn family during the late 80’s and early 90’s, Chip Hearn grew The Starboard into a nationally known hot spot. Purchased by current owners Steve ‘Monty’ Montgomery and his partners in 1999, The Starboard’s popularity is now off the charts as it has grown into a national phenomenon!

 

From famous Suicide Sundays to Eggs Delmarva and wonderful breakfasts and nightly entertainment – both on stage and with long-time DJ personalities – you will always find a crowd of people enjoying themselves at The Starboard.

The streets of Dewey Beach seemed empty this morning and now I know why … everyone was at The Starboard. In one word, it was “amazing” according to the most critical member of our group. Had to wait about 30 minutes but it was worth it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5 stars! Great for a date night with good drinks and delicious steamed shrimp, or breakfast with the family with their fresh blueberry pancakes or egg and crab skillet!

Suggestions for Improvement:
• Parking - Help customers locate parking by putting a parking map on your website or Google profile. I called ahead and was told to park on a side street which are mostly Private Residential spaces.
• Staffing - More waiters/waitresses and less hostesses. 5 hostesses and 3 waitresses just didn’t make sense.
• Merch - Better merch and staffing, the T-shirts were lack luster and we ended up not buying anything because nobody was there to help us.

You can still count on this place for quality and value! No better bloody Mary ANYWHERE- but don't be tempted to only drink your breakfast :) The food is plentiful, delicious and cheap. Even though we were there during a big football game Sunday, the service was fast and outstanding. This is one of those rare legendary places that still deserves all the hype. Will keep coming back!
