The 1776 Steakhouse on Coastal Highway outside of Rehoboth received recognition from the Cheapism website for being one of 50 under the radar steakhouses among the nation’s sites.
Despite the designation on a site known as Cheapism, 1776 is not inexpensive, although its prices are comparable with those of other steakhouses.
The Cheapism list is worth checking out, since it appears to have kept the chains out of the ranking and focused on independents.
Actually, 1776 is fairly well known among diners, due to its long run in a beach restaurant market where steakhouses have come and gone.
So far, the two big gun restaurant groups in coastal Sussex, SoDel and Big Fish have not moved into the steakhouse niche, which has its challenges that include securing the best cuts of beef.
