The Augustine Inn Seafood and Chop House has reopened.

The restaurant is housed in a historic building near Augustine Beach in southern New Castle County. It comes with a Middletown address, but is some distance from the fast-growing town.

The restaurant closed earlier this year with one of the operators reopening the Metro in Middletown, now known as Metro Steak and Seafood. The restaurant is not to be confused with the Metro Diner, which has a Middletown location.

Augustine Inn remained closed for months, with renovation work taking place at the old building,

The historic inn has an interesting history and operated as a biker bar for a time.
