Ok, we know it's on everyone's breakfast list, but the lunches are tasty and often a great deal, to boot. Friendly staff wave the locals in to pick a spot and remember your drink preferences. Basically, a diner atmosphere and they have added a patio with shade and water for the pets. The salads are very generous and come served with a cup of soup. My soup favorites are the mushroom, the artichoke spinach, spinach potato, and split pea. On a recent trip, the had the grilled tuna, asked for it rare. Tasty and hit the spot. We like to pay and tip in cash for the local places. (Ok, let's see if "Joe T." gives me another "Oh No".

I went on a Saturday morning at about 8:30 AM and since it was off-season, it wasn't not busy. My server was very quick took my order and it did not take long for them to prepare. I like the cream chip beef and I ordered it over hashbrowns. I have to say it was a lot of cream to beef and very little hashbrowns. the cream chipped beef had a nice flavor. I should've ordered an egg but finding out it was four dollars more for one egg I didn't order it and really it was enough food. I would go back for lunch. I think the menu had more options for lunch that I would've liked.

In a "resort town" surrounded by overpriced tourist trap restaurants, I wanted a takeout meal that tasted good and wasn't from a chain. Enter the Crystal. I called ahead and ordered a souvlaki salad to go. The place was pretty empty because I was coming was between meals. The service was good, I was quickly rung up and out the door. I do wish I knew ahead that they charge extra for CC transactions. I get it, they have to pay the fee so they pass it to us. If I was a cash customer, I'd be glad I wasn't paying more to offset the costs of ppl using CCs. I don't take sides on the issue. I just wish I knew before I ordered because I would have taken cash with me. The salad was a good size, incredibly fresh, had a respectable amount of meat (I always wish there was more), enough feta to prevent me from complaining, and it was packaged decently for travel. The tzatziki sauce was pretty good. It seemed homemade. The salad was enough for two meals so I feel ok about it costing about $7.50 per meal. I would definitely return to try it again.

Wow! This place was fantastic! My girlfriend and I came to visit from Baltimore. We wanted a simple, delicious breakfast and this place gave us all of that and more. It's small and cute with a large, shaded, patio out front. We chose to eat on the patio. Our server was so sweet and the manager (or owner) came to chat with us for a bit. On top of the warm, friendly hospitality, the food was also so good! Definitely your classic diner food but so tasty! I got a waffle with fresh strawberries. I asked for whipped cream and they brought me the entire can to squeeze at my disposal; I was in waffle/whipped cream heaven My girlfriend got a breakfast burrito that was equally as delicious/grilled to crispy perfection on the flat top; It came with fresh Pico on the side. From the outside this place is a little easy to miss, but the inside is so nice, quaint, and clean with smiling faces greeting you as soon as you walk in the door The patio was just redone and had the perfect amount of shade for dining outside. 10/10!

This is an old school diner with a very Greek feel, perhaps the owners are Greek. The service was excellent and the food was flavorful and prepared just as ordered! We came in for brunch, and my friend had the soup of the day which was vegetable beef loaded with all types of veggies, including carrots and cabbage. It was a large bowl and super flavorful! I ordered a side of the corn beef hash with a poached egg on top. The waitress said it would be the same price to get the corn beef hash with two poached eggs on top, which I thought was very kind of her and showed that she knew the menu very well. This was an ode to my father, who passed away a year and a half ago he used to love having this for breakfast, and I figured it would be a good way to give a nod to him on this Father's Day week. The corn beef hash was fried crispy, and the poached eggs were cooked to absolute perfection! during our meal, there was a family in the back that began dancing to a traditional Greek song and clapping. It was quite fun. We will definitely be back for breakfast all of the menu items on the breakfast menu and the lunch menu look really good!

Went to Crystal Restaurant when visiting Rehoboth Beach. It looked very much like a local diner vs one of those boogie brunch spots (which made me love the place even more). The waitress we had was quite a character. Actually everyone who works there seemed to have a bit of spunk to them. I started with the chipped beef. I have never had chipped beef but it was quite amazing to try. It was very creamy. Then I had the Egg, tomato, and avocado on sour dough. This dish was ok but wasn't what I really expected. The photo on the menu looked completely different than what was handed out.
