Teddy's Tavern, originally called the Blue Hen Garage, is a historic tavern located at Ellendale, Sussex County, Delaware, USA. It was built about 1923, as a service station catering to motorists on the newly constructed Du Pont Highway. It was converted into a roadside tavern in 1937. It is a one-story, polychrome brick building with a low-pitched gable roof, low parapet, and exposed rafter ends in a Mission/Spanish Revival style. It has a flat-roofed "porch" supported by four massive brick and concrete conical columns. The interior consists of a package store, dining areas and a labyrinth of service rooms. It is one of the few surviving service stations or roadside taverns remaining from the pre-1940 era in Delaware.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
