The Starboard Restaurant is Dewey’s most famous venue for fun, great times, and tremendous service! It has been home-awayfrom-home for most Dewey Beach visitors over our 55+ year history.

The Starboard truly holds a special place in more people’s hearts than anyone could ever imagine! The Starboard was originally built and opened by Duke Duggan around 1960 and has gone through several changes over its years. Purchased and run by the Hearn family during the late 80’s and early 90’s, Chip Hearn grew The Starboard into a nationally known hot spot. Purchased by current owners Steve ‘Monty’ Montgomery and his partners in 1999, The Starboard’s popularity is now off the charts as it has grown into a national phenomenon!

From famous Suicide Sundays to Eggs Delmarva and wonderful breakfasts and nightly entertainment – both on stage and with long-time DJ personalities – you will always find a crowd of people enjoying themselves at The Starboard.

If you are in Delaware visiting this is a must visit bar /restaurant. They have local bands perform and have comedy shows here too on some nights. They are known for a few things like their Orange Crush drinks and their Bloody Mary bar! It is a pretty big space with different sections.
There are some indoor areas and mostly outdoor/ covered areas. Bartenders are nice and so are the waiters. I usually come here for drinks and have eaten here a few times. You can't skip this place!

Fantastic environment! We didn't wait too long for a drink, even though the bar was packed! Live music Sunday was incredible and the bartender was on point! We had the grilled cheese and fries, which were delicious!
We'll absolutely be back here again!

We’re in Dewey Beach DE and staying across the street from The Starboard, just one block to the beach! Whether you get the Maryland Crab (red) or Cream of Crab (white) both are out of this world! I got the Black and Blue Burger which was massive and the bride got the Crab Cake (all crab, baby!)

It was a Saturday so noise is an understatement. It’s hoppin’ and boppin’

Good to see so many enjoying life at the shore!
