Ok....it is loud but I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't read reviews prior to going. The noise level IS NOT bad by any means though. The fresh fish and incredibly friendly service are the notable characteristics of this restaurant. They do a very nice job complimenting the fish they serve and not dressing it up with heavy sauces. The... more

This place never stops putting out great quality food. If you want 5 star fine dining, this place isn't for you. . . . . . If you want a nice romantic meal where you can whisper sweet nothings, this place isn't for you . . . . . and if you want a place where you can be seen... more

Had a great salad here. The service was excellent. The dining area is noisy, sort of like being in a "Fridays" but tolerable. The more comfortable area to sit is at the bar... You wait less time, and I think the staff is more attentive. Overall a nice place to eat. more

My husband and I have dined here on several occassions. We last dined at this restaurant on May 2009 for our anniversary. We know from prior experience to arrive early, since there is usually a line at Big Fish & they do NOT accept call ahead seating. We arrived around 530PM and there was already a line outside waiting for... more

I looked at a number of other reviews that said the Big Fish Grill was "Loud". Compared to what? It's a casual family seafood restaurant not a dimmly lit romantic hideaway. The guest have children with them and like to talk. I have eaten here dozens of times and although I have had to wait in line it was never... more

Big Fish Grill is a typical beach restaurant - loud and crowded. The tables are crammed together and the rooms are too loud to have a decent conversation. We've been twice, and the only memorable dish was my husband's Mahi Mahi. The service was mediocre. There are so many fabulous restaurants in Rehoboth, I'm not sure why people flock to... more

I have never had a bad meal here. The service is always great, the food delicious (and in HUGE portions!), and the atmosphere is relaxed. The only reason I didn't give Big Fish five stars is because it is very loud in the dining room and there is always a long wait (but that's because it's so good!). more

Big Fish is very popular, so expect a wait on the weekends. Ask not to sit in the bar - because the acoustics in there are ridiculously bad and the crowd tends to be a bit rowdier, naturally. We had to almost yell to hold a conversation. That said, all of our food was good and the prices aren't outrageous.... more
