Back Porch Cafe
Cafe · Rehoboth Beach, DE
About
A first date spot since 1981? That's the kind of longevity Back Porch Cafe has earned. For over 49 years, this independent spot in a former Victorian guest house has served creative global fusion dishes and its famous House Coffee Flamed Tableside. The menu draws from Mediterranean and new American influences, with options like domestic lamb and dayboat halibut. It's fine dining that doesn't feel stuffy, partly thanks to the relaxed outdoor deck and full bar.
Reservations are accepted, and the place is dog friendly. Weekends open for lunch at 11am; weekdays start at 5pm. Closed Wednesdays. If you're exploring nearby, Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats offers a different vibe just down the road.

“Always a Good Meal”
This is one of my top spots in Rehoboth Beach for a relaxed but upscale meal. Totally worth stopping by.

“Back Porch”
Excellent restaurant with an outdoor patio. I had my first dinner date there with my partner in 1981, and we loved it then just as much as we do now. Unlike a lot of other places, the Back Porch has been around for many years and has proven its longevity.
