Eggcellent
Excellent is a fair way to describe the myriad of omelets and other ways eggs are cooked at Eggcellent, a breakfast staple in Rehoboth Beach and Lewes, also serving brunch and lunch. A variety of breakfast sandwiches, French toast, and pancakes punctuate a typical breakfast/brunch menu, and all of it well-prepared and tasty. The Lewes location is quaint, as romantic as a breakfast place can be, tucked in a cute and leafy downtown location, but the Rehoboth beach spot is large and sanitized, the former home of several higher-end restaurants known for large-crowd dinners. Service is spotty at both locations; indeed, it is hard to get reliable seasonable help starting bright and chippy at 7:00 every morning. But the variety of breakfast options and even decent burgers, salads, and soups sometimes make up for any waits you may endure receiving your food. Patience may be a virtue to those who have the time to be patient, but when you want to get your day on, a good breakfast loses its virtue the longer it takes to arrive. Eggcellent will always be competing with its Rehoboth Beach brethren, Egg (President Biden’s favorite local restaurant), but will always have a spot in a true breakfast connoisseur’s heart, at least until the eggs are delivered slow and cold.
