Crab cakes 5/10 frozen. Rubin a little dry but still good. Chicken Cesar wrap dressing tasted weird and to much lettuce on one side not enough on the other. Coconut shrimp need more coconut 5/10. Muscles where good but when asked for bread they brought us frozen bread. Service was good. The last thing is that they gave us bagged lays chips on our plate. There could be jerms on the bag that could have or have gone on my wrap. When I received my wrap the lays chip bag was on my plate. Service was slow and we there where only 2 tables us and one other group.

Rumor has it you guys are getting rid of Weird Als karaoke. God, no! What are you thinking? Its one of the only interesting things going on on the whole island! Another cover band? Seriously? We ALL love karaoke there. Every week is different. Its like performance art. And we all get to take place in it. Come on. NOT this! Its one of the only distinctive events on the island. And Weird Al may be weird and Al...but you know what? Hes a showman. And theres a big following. NO COVER BANDS. LET US SING OUR KARAOKE!!!!

This Maine girl (who now lives is DE and hasnt been home in awhile) has been blown away by the tenderness of the Calamari and the clams in their New England Clam Chowder is worth winning 8 years in a row!! I havent had seafood that makes me feel like I am home since moving away in 06. You will want to get the quart to go, it IS worth it. (I came in, got it to go twice--lets hope it makes it home to DE) The drinks are great, staff is friendly, youll be glad you came! Thanks Gateway, youre amazing.

OK food is average at best. Very poor service in that if you eat here and have a few drinks your going to have to pay for both separately and tip separately. The result is a crappy customer experience. Huge inconvenience to have to pay two separate bills when coming here. My recommendation go some place else that puts their customers first.

Bar was empty, got one glass of wine, would have loved another but bartender never came back until I was ready to leave. She was too busy gabbing at the other end of the bar. I had a Salad (greens, mushrooms, jarred red peppers, unripe tomatoes, feta cheese) grilled shrimp...$20.00. I was disappointed Chowder was delicious

You just deleted my comments from your facebook page and blocked me after I warned you not to expose your clients to the international organised crime group that you were hosting tonight. Are you accomplices to that crime group?! Or you just put people in danger for fun?

Great New England clam chowder, exceptional fried calamari, and good cocktails. I dont have a ton of comparison for chowder as I rarely find any that Im willing to eat. Calamari I try everywhere; theirs was cooked to absolute perfection.

Took an hour just to get our appetizers and an hour and a half to get our food. Out of our party of seven two people got food poisoning. Food is definitely not worth the price and I am never eating there again!

A long standing watering hole with good old comfort food. If you like clam chowder this is your place. Sandwiches, pizza, wings and of course booze. Plenty of tvs for watching sports. Plenty of parking.

They have the best chowder on the Planet! The pizza has the best sauce It is so sweet and good! The wings are so awesome I love them so much they are my favorite appetizer to get! The service is amazing

The chowder is the best on the PLANET! The pizza has the best sauce! The Pabst Blue Ribbon is always ice cold. I got treated very nice by employees and managers, and had great food!

The bartenders are so angry. I love the fact an older crowd has a place to hang and they seem like they are all having fun, but the bartenders are so angry. Not sure why.

Good neighborhood type bar. Local musicians are featured, all types of music, just pick you genre. Clam chowder is good and the service is outstanding.

Ann Schiavoni

Wonderful, friendly staff. The food was excellent and the drinks reasonable. Ive also heard some fabulous local music here. Worth a stop!

David Koethe

The server lost my credit card. No apology from the manager, nothing was comped. Terrible service for mediocre food.

Clam chowda is the only thing I ever eat here. Bonus that they started serving craft beer from NJ and PA!

Best clam chowder in the world. I try it every place we travel to and nothing equals The Gateway.

John Devlin

Great local place. By the way the best New England clam chowder and wings on the island!
