Essential Information

Rehoboth Beach, DE

The Derrickson boys—Regan, Spencer and Bryan—certainly have put their stamp on beach dining. Between Regan’s Ponos Hawaiian Fine Dining and Nalu Hawaiian Surf Bar and Grill, Spencer’s Delfini’s Italian Restaurant and Bar and Vine Wine Bar, and Bryan’s Roadhouse Steak Joint and Hot Diggity Dogs, the brothers have much of the resort area covered. It should come as no surprise in this family, which long ago founded the famous Rehoboth Midway, and today owns the Heritage Inn and the Sandcastle Motel. “For me, it wasn’t a foregone conclusion that I’d go into this business,” Regan says. “It started with an idea for Hawaiian cuisine.” A big heads-up to Florida: The brothers recently purchased three bars in the southern part of the state.
