Our group of 7 drove 45 minutes out of the way to come here. I had been here a few years ago with some family, and my grandmother said the Oyster po’boy was the best sandwich she ever had. It was great then & is still great now. I dont remember the name of our waitress, but she had blonde hair & we had impeccable service. Food came out quickly, was hot and delicious. The cream of crab soup is slightly salty,I think from the old bay on top, but it’s still very good. The Philly cheesteak egg rolls were good, but I felt like they needed a little more seasoning for an even better flavor and change the dipping sauce to a chipotle or cajun ranch would set it off flavor wise. No suggestions for our other dishes; brussel sprouts, tater tots, fried pickles, pretzel, steamed shrimp, fried shrimp, Oyster po’boy and pork tacos were crazy good. Ill go the extra miles when I’m in the area to come back again. We arrived right when they opened but by the time we left it was pretty full.

★★★★★ Simply the Best at the Beach!
Big Oyster Brewery is a destination, not just a restaurant. My family and I love coming here because there is something for everyone. The beer selection is phenomenal, with a huge range of styles that are always fresh and delicious. The staff is fantastic—our server was so knowledgeable and friendly, offering great suggestions for both beer and food . The food is top-tier, far beyond typical pub fare.
The atmosphere is what really sets this place apart. The massive outdoor area is perfect for families, with a playscape that keeps the kids happy for hours . It’s a huge bonus that the space is enclosed, so the kids can run around while the adults can relax with a beer. The live music in the summer adds to the laid-back, fun vibe . We also loved grabbing a few cans to take home from the excellent to-go selection.
This place is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a family dinner, a night out with friends, or happy hour. Big Oyster Brewery has it all—amazing beer, delicious food, and a fantastic atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back! ✨

Was here with family and friends for a dinner. We got sat right away despite it looking packed. The place is MASSIVE. The servers were friendly and very fast. This is a very busy place so if you’re looking for more laid back and quiet, maybe not here. It worked great for us. There’s lots of kids and a whole play area for them. The beer was great (I loved the Jedi youngling). Really like the crab dip and nachos. Overall a great spot for a beach drink and decent food.

We eat usually lunch here about every two weeks and dinner occasionally lunch is always very good we ate dinner there 1/2 and was surprised to see they had rigatoni with marina sauce and meatballs my husband and I decided to share it because we know the portions are usually good size. I was a little skeptical about the sauce and meatballs being as good as I was told they were well they were outstanding! I shouldn’t have been surprised we have never been disappointed on the food here, from the steamed shrimp, burger, wings etc. The staff is amazing very friendly, outgoing, and very professional.This is one of our favorite places we know we won’t be disappointed

Traditional Seafood fare with fried oysters, fried calamari, fried fish n’chips… the Cream of Crab Soup was a good app. Obviously order a Big Oyster beer, their Sours are not to be missed. The Buffalo Mac n’ Cheese w/ Bleu Cheese was insanely rich and very filling. Overall nice family-friendly vibe.

Vacationing with kids, teens & adults can be challenging especially when it comes to mealtimes. Big Oyster Brewery was just the spot for all of us. The kids had a blast in the playground area, the teens colored & played word games & the adults drank. The Dunkel beer was authentic & delicious. The cocktails were small but affordable & tasty. I ordered the shrimp po boy & asked if the lettuce could be substituted for the spicy slaw I saw on the fish taco description. Although I didn’t try the sandwich with the lettuce the slaw was awesome on it & I recommend to the kitchen staff to change that up because the crisp cabbage really adds a nice texture. My side was the Brussel sprouts & they were great. (I tried some fries too, also good) Ooohhh almost forgot, their signature hot sauce is worth grabbing a bottle to go.

Big Oyster Brewery is an amazing place to grab food or a drink right off of Lewes Beach. The oyster sampler was amazing, great fresh local flavor. I had the fried catfish blt lunch special and it was by far one of the best catfish sandwiches I’ve ever had. The bartender was great, very assertive and friendly. Plenty of seating inside and also outside dining in the back.
