Your Favorite Local Restaurant in Rehoboth Beach
Arena's Deli has been a cornerstone of the Rehoboth Beach dining scene since 1990, consistently delivering high-quality meals and generous portions. Our journey began as a modest sandwich shop on Rehoboth Avenue and expanded to five locations across Delaware under current ownership since 2005. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming atmosphere where families and friends gather for casual dining, while our catering services bring our signature flavors to events of all sizes. Recognized by Delaware Today as the Best Lunch Spot and Best Sandwiches, we maintain a commitment to excellence that has earned us numerous Best of Delaware awards.Our dedication to local ownership and community engagement ensures every guest experiences the warmth of a small-town restaurant, no matter which location they visit. From pet-friendly outdoor dining by the Mispillion River to our full-service breakfast offerings in Lewes, we strive to make every visit memorable. Our staff treats every customer like family, reflecting our belief that hospitality is the heart of our business.
