The Reef Seafood & Steak

“The Reef Food & Steak is easily one of the best hidden gems on the East Coast. From the outside, sitting in a modest shopping plaza, you might think it’s just another neighborhood bar but step inside and it’s a completely different experience. The food alone is worth the visit. The Philly Eggrolls were absolutely amazing perfectly crisp, flavorful, and packed just right. The wings? Next level. The Old Bay Wings, in particular, were truly unforgettable seasoned to perfection and cooked exactly how wings should be. And the Sangria… easily the best I’ve had on the East Coast. Smooth, refreshing, and dangerously good. What truly sets this place apart beyond the food and drinks is the service. From the owner to the servers, everyone is welcoming, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure you have a great experience. You can feel the pride and hospitality throughout the entire establishment, which elevates everything even more. What really takes this place over the top is the live entertainment. Best Kept Soul delivers an incredible performance every time talented, engaging, and they know how to keep the entire room energized. As someone in event planning who has actually booked them, I can confidently say they’re the real deal. There’s a reason you need to reserve a table a month in advance. Between the food, the drinks, the top-tier service, and the atmosphere, this place stays packed and for good reason. Highly recommended if you’re looking for great vibes, amazing food, and elite live music all in one spot.”

“We attended a family event at the Reef. As vegans, we were concerned that our dietary needs could not be accommodated at a steak and seafood place, but we were guests at the event with no hand in choosing the venue. My husband called ahead and was told they would try to accommodate us and to let the server know. The staff was absolutely wonderful in making sure we had something to eat and even checked on us several times to make sure we were doing well. The Reef went above and beyond in customer service. The food they prepared for us was perfect - thank you so much!”

“We always stop here after a visit in Delaware. This time the cheese steak was not a full as it was many times before. Kinda disappointed.”

“Great place to grab a brew or a drink and relax. Place is very spacious and staff was on point. Almost never was I waiting for something as this place was jammed packed. The band that played was amazing and the acoustics in the space works out great. I removed a star for my entree was pretty weak for the price. Mixed grill was very disappointing for $33. I have the picture attached. The other food and tuna poke was really fresh and good which I would order over and over again. The crab ravioli was really good and creamy well done. I'll be going back but avoiding the one dish mentioned earlier. The fries where additional and didn't come with the meal.”

“Had their mussels, and my god were they extremely salty. Had to pour half my water into the bowl to water it down. Got another dish got REEF MIXED GRILL for $33, and you know what I got? Two VERY small scallops that you can get bigger at Walmart, three shrimps also can get my self a whole bag at an ACME, and a half-potato-sized cod that I myself could finish in one bite. Like I haven’t been this baffled by “quantity-portion” size of a dish at a restaurant in really long time. And as for their most expensive steak, the ribeye… My god, had to be the most god damn dry steak in my life. No juices were seeping out of it and chewy like literal gum. Had to spit half of it into my napkin nonstop. $41 for it too, god dammit. Didn’t say nothing because it was my first meal of the day and ate some stuff due to starving plus it ain’t like I’m coming back ever. Should’ve went to Texas Roadhouse instead for this price and quality.”
