We stopped here our last day in rehobeth beach, and I fricking loved it. The cheese steak egg rolls are packed full of brisket. we ate them and almost canceled our food to get more, lol. I got the baby back ribs and pulled pork it was falling off the bones and was amazing. I’m not a big ribs guy, but I did love them. Pork was pretty good, too. Cornbread was amazing. I ordered some for the ride home, lol. Our waiter was awesome and friendly as could be. Interacted with us and the kids, he was funny and nice. I loved it. Kids got burgers and were as happy as could be. I would say if you are here and got the cash cause it is pricy but definitely worth it

BBQ in Rehoboth! Hallelujah! Loved Downtown Blues! First, the design, atmosphere and ambiance of this restaurant is fantastic. Second, the customer service was top notch. Everyone from the hostess to the waiter to the manager were so cheerful and friendly. And last, but certainly not least, the food…WOW was it good! We started with the crab dib appetizer (delish!) and got a full rack of ribs to share with mac and cheese and mashed potatoes as the sides. The BBQ sauce (which we added to our ribs at the table) was the perfect mix of sweet and savory. Oh, and did I mention that complimentary corn bread and butter is included. Overall, I was super pleased with my first visit and can’t wait to come back to try some of the other items on the menu. Downtown Blues is a fantastic addition to Rehoboth Beach!

Walked around Rehoboth on a Friday afternoon and wanted something off the Boardwalk. This place had 5 stars so figured we’d try it. I’m thinking either we had an off day food wise, or these reviews are from friends/family.

Fantastic place! All the food was amazing and waitstaff was wonderful. The cornbread, corn, coleslaw, BBQ, drinks etc were all so good. We had 11 ppl and truly everyone loved the food and we all got different foods and everyone was very happy. Must go!

Downtown Blues has killer bbq! But instead of my usual order during my most recent visit, I decided to try the 12 oz. Grilled Ribeye Steak. It was excellent! The steak was very tender and flavorful. Beneath the steak was a medley of spinach, mushrooms, potatoes, onions, and chimichurri. We started with the crab dip appetizer and the cornbread, which were both very delicious as well.

Had a wonderful dinner from this amazing restaurant a few nights ago! Got the brisket nacho kit and wedge salad which my waiter helped me decide on! My waiter was phenomenal, I believe his name was Jared. He was very friendly, attentive, and patient. Thanks for the amazing dinner will definitely be back again to have a amazing dinner served by hopefully Jared!

The experience started with our friendly server bringing delicious cornbread that was yummy. Our drinks were good followed by fall of the bone ribs and a very generous portion of pulled pork. Definitely will be back!

My family of 5 decided to eat here on a whim after being turned away from a certain restaurant across the street. We were seated right away and the staff was friendly and inviting! A basket of fresh corn bread was delivered while we browsed the large menu. The menu has items for everyone and it was hard to make a decision! All items we ordered came out hot with generous portions. There are various sauces at the table so you can add what you like. I would definitely recommend Downtown Blues and can’t wait to come back!

Staff went above and beyond to accommodate me and my food sensitivities (gluten and dairy). Every staff member I interacted with was so nice and the food was great! Their turkey is better than Thanksgiving and the Carolina pork was very good as well! We will definitely be going back!
