Recently ate here for my birthday dinner (3rd time here - 1st time indoors). Had no complaints and the food was delicious for the entire party. Personally, my battered cod portions were fried to perfection and absolutely filling (tacos were awe...
some!). Cheesesteak egg rolls were devoured by all. Drinks were tendered well and plentiful. Servers were attentive and accurate. Great service for an eatery in an unusual and attractive location.
Previous visits here have gone smoothly as well.

We stopped to grab a bite while waiting for the ferry to Cape May.
The service was fantastic, very quick and attentive. I ordered the sticky pineapple chicken tenders; they were crispy and full of flavor. I upgraded to tater tots and they were...
crunchy! My husband ordered the Philly and said it was good and flavorful, the cheese was gooey.
The view is nice and their ambiance was very warm and welcoming.

We were 7 and a half people on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. This place is right next to the Lewes ferry terminal with a lot of outdoor seating and plenty indoors as well. We got seated immediately. There were some vegetarian options but see...
med like they had some of everything on offer. They had a good selection of local and popular beers. I ordered a Beyond Burger for myself with fries. It was ok and the excellent service made up for anything with the food. Lovely ambiance with the ferry coming and going and a lovely view of the bay. Will be back definitely.

Stopped by Grain on the Rocks while waiting for the ferry, and it turned out to be a great choice!
The outdoor patio was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the waterfront atmosphere. The highlight of our meal was definitely the giant soft pr...
etzel—warm, soft, fresh, and served with delicious beer cheese and mustard for dipping. It was easily one of the best pretzels we’ve had.
We also enjoyed the cheesesteak flatbread and burger, both of which were flavorful and satisfying. The house hot sauce added a nice kick without being overwhelming.
Friendly service, good food, and a convenient location if you’re waiting for the ferry.
