Crystal has been in Rehoboth for so many years. During the season it also opens for dinner. Usually, my group of usual suspects go there for breakfast. We celebrate anything…birthdays, moving away, you name it…it’s great. All kinds of breakfast items. They do offer lunch; try the burger next time.
Crystal is located at 620 Rehoboth Avenue. Tel. 302-227-1088. During the summer months, you can expect to wait; they open every day. There is a full bar. Today, on a gorgeous September day, my son and I decided to stop by. It was so funny to see the locals, and natives already enjoying the Second Season in Rehoboth Beach.
My son orders the Crab Imperial Eggs Benedict every time. Today was no different. OMG…look at the picture. It had so much crab; smothered in Hollandaise sauce. A sprinkle of Old Bay, that’s all you need, and you are good to go. The home fries are pretty good too. The Crab Egg Benedict is always consistent, served with that much crabmeat.
I really wanted to have Chipped Beef on Toast. This dish, just like all the dishes at Crystal, is big. Our server told me that it was, particularly, good today. No, I can’t do that. So, instead I decided to have this tiny yogurt, granola, nuts, blueberries and even honey. But, wait a minute….I am not finished. I also had a side order of Scrapple, extra crispy. What a combination!! I confess, I ate it all. Now, I feel better. No more guilt!!
I hope my Scrapple friends, Missy and Jim see the Scrapple. It was perfectly cooked.
Talk to you later….you know I will.
Note: What was I thinking? I could have had that chipped beef!!

I cannot believe how gorgeous it is. A few degrees warmer would make it the perfect week-end at the Delaware Beaches.
