Meh. Shrimp tacos had zero flavor and salsa was definitely mass produced. Not even sure I finished it. Just disappointed and tired of paying high prices for mediocre food. Service was fine Wouldn’t go back. So many other choices.

Fantastic find! Live music pulled us in. Reasonable prices, great food, friendly staff. Perfect night! French Dip was juicy, my wife got Chicken Wrap - tasty!

Usually my favorite go-to spot at the beach. This time my meal was disappointing, brown lettuce and tomato stems in the salad.

Always enjoyed Arena’s in the past, but the Rehoboth Avenue location has diminished over the years. Service was slow on this particular night and food was adequate at best, we also found the outdoor dining area to be in need of thorough cleaning. The wait...staff was more interested in the large dog chilling with diners than the diners themselves. Maybe an off night, but Arena’s isn’t a “go to” dining adventure for us anymore.More

Was the first place we stopped for lunch on our trip, and it got everything started on the right foot. Say outside and was able to people watch as we waited for our food. Service was quick and friendly, sandwiches were filling and delicious, and...the drinks were also great. Visited in the off season so I don’t know what it’s like in the summer, but would absolutely recommend for a casual lunch.More

Went to Arena's Deli for a late lunch. Right across the street from our hotel and always good. I had the Texas burger and hot tots and didn't even eat supper I was so full.

All-around great experience! Service was very fast, and our server was very attentive to our needs. Quality of food was outstanding - I tried the Duncan (turkey reuben) and it was incredible - loved the mix of cole slaw AND sauerkraut. And the prices were...very reasonable - definitely worth a visit. Tucked away down a little alley off the main street shops - but worth visiting!More

Our chilly morning turned into a wet chilly morning as we strolled through Rehoboth. It was a hot soup kind of day. We stumbled across just the right place when we found Arena’s. The hostess provided a menu for us to look over before we...made up our mind. When we saw several choices of soup, our minds were made up. Our waitress Andi quickly greeted us and took our orders. We both had the crab soup and half sandwich. The soup, salad or half sandwich menu option is perfect for a light lunch. Our crab soup was hearty and hot, exactly what we needed for the dreary day. The BLT was just like homemade, overflowing with several hunks of fresh bacon. Andi was very personable and did an excellent job to ensure our lunch experience was an enjoyable one. We would definitely recommend Arena’s Deli and will return.More

This was my first time here. Many of the downtown restaurants were closed due to COVID and/or pre-season. The restaurant is located down a side street off the main street. We did not have a reservation. Outside was not immediately available, therefore, we opted for...inside lunch. All service members wore masks inside and outside. I started with my Guinness on draft for $5, which I enjoyed twice. House chardonnay was also $5. I wanted a half ruben sandwich with crab soup, but, it was not on their menu. Therefore I ordered the bowl of crab soup and half big daddy sandwich for $11.99. The big daddy was prepared similar to a ruben. A full ruben sandwich is also $11.99 less the soup. The sandwiches here are a nice size. Lunch prices here are very reasonable. My total bill was $44 less taxes and gratuities. Mask wearing Scott Y. accommodated our table needs nicely. I will definitely return here again for lunch such as another soup and sandwich.More

Still great after all these years- sandwiches, chili, inexpensive cocktails. I was there recently during COVID so there was no live music, but it was still nice to reminisce.

Take-out this time. There were a couple of families dining in. Leave it to Arena's to come up with delicious new veggie options. They've always delighted me with the variety of veggie sandwiches, and the idea to make tacos with a chopped up veggie burger...and Korean BBQ sauce is inspired. Always friendly staff and great drinks.More

If you want a delicious sandwich for lunch or dinner stop in Arena’s Deli on Rehoboth Avenue (as well ad Arena’s other locations). We have enjoyed Arena’s for years wether for cocktails, lunch, or dinner. They have a great fun beach decor dining room a...s well as a great shady patio. The staff is always friendly and efficient. We enjoyed their daily Maryland Vegetable Crab soup, delicious Turkey club with Avocado and sprouts as well as the Duchwich turkey melt sandwich. All sandwiches are served with chips or slaw with a crisp dill pickle. They have a great selection of craft beer also. Cheers.More

We last ate here in 2018, and it's still as good as we remembered. This place has become one of our regular spots to visit when we come here. Everything on the menu has been delicious so far.
