    Great food, lots of places to sit, plenty of TVs for sports folks, and great service! Came here before a matinee down the road, and even on a football Sunday with the Birds playing, it wasnt too loud and our service was great. The menu has a lot of hits, and I like the touch of cornbread while we were deciding. Like many good BBQ places, Bethany Blues has their own sauces tableside, and they are really good. I opted for a healthier option of pulled chicken over the house salad with blue cheese. Very tasty and big! The meal portion was plenty of food and the chicken was quite good. Definitely a good receptacle for the Carolina style bbq sauce. The burgers did look quite good and will have to get on a return. Big ups to our sever, immediately clocked that I could drink a diet pepsi or two, really kept my glass full. Great experience and would come back!

    Crab Dip
    Amy S.

    We stopped in for a drink and an appetizer. The dining room was closed but the bar and lounge were both open. We got seated in the lounge and there was live music in the bar (Electric Smoke). They were pretty good. Patrons were up and dancing. The bartender who waited on us were attentive. We got a bloody mary and orange crush. The crab dip appetizer with chips was pretty amazing. Overall, a great experience.

    Ultimate bbq platter
    Linda V.

    Came highly recommended and don't regret it at all. Very welcoming and friendly staff with ample amount of seating and great vibes. The brisket nachos were tasty and enough to satisfy the whole table with still having enough left over. The oldbay butter wings were also a bit crispy on the outside with the right amount of seasoning and moist on the inside. The ultimate bbq platter was a hit flavor all around in each of the meats, turkey not dry and seasoned perfectly. Smoky and sweet flavors throughout the entire platter. The cornbread also good and moist kids enjoyed that very much. Great place for families, friends and dates. Can't wait to come back !

    Sat at the bar and Mike was our bartender. He took good care of us and had good convo. Ordered the crab dip. It was very good just seemed like a small portion to me. The cheeseburger and fries were excellent. The smoked olde fashioned was perfect. Reasonably priced for the area. Would def return:)

    Ultimate Breakfast Sampler
    Regina M.

    Every year my crazy man goes running into the freezing ocean. They call him a Polar Bear, and this is his 28th year doing this to raise money for Special Olympics. Since the pandemic they've kept their "Plunge on your own" option, which we love because it's hard to keep track of your Bear in the massive crowds. While we could plunge anywhere, we still enjoy going down to Rehobeth in the off season. Doing this also allows us to get to Bethany Blues for Sunday brunch. Pre-pandemic they had a big buffet of food- but only until 2 PM and with a 1 PM plunge it wasn't happening and. That's gone now. In its place is the Ultimate Breakfast Sampler. It's nearly the size of the table and full of options. Fruit. Yogurt. Bacon Biscuits - with or without sausage gravy. BBQ - beef AND pork. So much more. It's a LOT of food, the three of us could not finish. It was also delicious. Freshly made food, great flavors. Service was great, friendly, efficient and responsive. Highly recommend.

    great bar.  Friendly bartenders.

    Loved this Bbq Blues bar. Great entertainment the night I was there. I sat at the bar and ordered the St. Louis ribs. They were delicious! The service was good and I loved the vibe in the bar area. Nice place.

    The Ultimate BBQ Sampler is one of the greatest meals value-wise in the area. 3 pounds of BBQ splits perfectly between 2 people and doesn't break the bank, not to mention the flavor and quality is exceptional! The interior is unique and almost feels more preppy than it does a BBQ joint. Our server was very nice and knowledgeable of the menu.

    Spinach Salad
    Eimy B.

    Bethany Blues was amazing! There were a lot of people waiting but the hostess gave us a good estimate on the wait time. Everyone was professional and kind. When we were seated, our waitress was Jen. She has a phenomenal memory. She took care of us right away, got our drinks, appetizers, and entrees. All our dishes were delicious. I ordered the spinach salad with grilled chicken. All the toppings were generous. For appetizers we ordered the wings and crab dip. The crab dip with made with Mayo instead of cream cheese, it was runny but not bad. It came with plenty of chips for a party of 4 to share. The Black & Bleu Brisket Burger was my favorite, the beef was so juicy and all the toppings were yummy. The side of Mac and cheese was bland. My brother ordered the pull pork and I will say the meat was very dry. It was on a thick bun which was also extremely dry. The food was great, the location is huge with plenty of free parking. It was clean too.

    3 sauces
    kristin c.

    Tried the Texas three step- had a choice between 2 types of ribs and picked 2 more: picked brisket and pulled pork. The meats were a bit bland. Also weren't covered in sauce, which I actually prefer. With the bbq sauces anyway, they were good. I liked the Carolina sauce which was sweet, mixed with the spicy one, which was not too spicy. Others enjoyed their burgers. Fried pickles was a favorite. Saw a chalkboard with different daily specials and karaoke/live music schedule. Nice decor. Staff was very attentive and upbeat.

    Smoked Old Fashion
    Lisa Y.

    As always, the best pulled chicken and the best service around! We always love seeing Theresa M. and for dessert, the best smoked Old Fashion by one of my favorite bartenders, Joseph!

I didn't have any money but planned to come back w my car. WOW this place is great! First off, the 2 owners/cooks are the nicest, most laid back dudes. We ordered a brisket sandwich platter and a pulled pork sandwich platter. The platter came w 2 sides. The choices yesterday were greens, coleslaw, potato salad, and corn bread. We chose corn bread and greens and also greens and coleslaw. Yesterday they also were giving away a drink w the platter altho I'm not sure that you always get that. Everything was delish!! But the greens were the best greens I have ever eaten in my life. They were unbelievable - and before we left we ordered a pint of more greens to take home. The meals are extremely well priced and I'm regretting not stopping years ago!!

When our party arrived, we sat in a place that would be good with the dogs, because their was another dog near the entrance. My friend had asked for a high chair and the high chair arrived beyond disgusting. We were all grossed out by the state of the high chair and our table - no one wiped it clean or did anything. I helped and cleaned it for my friend and the picture that I posted is after the fact it's been wiped. Please imagine how bad it was before I wiped it with 4 sanitizing wipes. The waitress, Becky came over and asked if we're ready to order, meanwhile she saw our entire party wiping the tables and high chair and never once offered to clean it. She didn't even understand that we haven't looked at the menu because we're too busy doing the restaurant's job to offer a clean environment to eat and dine. She seemed annoyed that we weren't ready and left and turns out the other dog was her daughter's and they were there hanging out. She, of course seemed more cheerful there, then she was with our party that just sat. We haven't done anything to annoy her besides just arriving. The restaurant did provide water bowls for the dogs, but no one really seemed to be happy to see dogs being there, so not sure why this place would be a great place to take dogs. I just really thought all the staff here would all love dogs. I didn't taste the smashburger, but it was flagged that it wasn't a true smashburger, since there wasn't any crispiness or thinness. It was just a regular burger. I got the mussels daily flavour that was "Thai" - decent, but a lot of the mussels came closed and not sure why it would be "Thai" when they used jalapenos as their heat. Shrimp Basket - not great. Very disappointing experience - wished I didn't pick this place and wasted a meal here for the sake of wanting to bring my dogs to a place where I thought would be a great place for them.

In spite the busyness, my party of 5 was able to get seated fairly quick, since we chose to sit outside. Though it was a muggy day, there was a nice breeze out in the area by the kids activities. This play area is probably the best draw if you have a family with young kids as there's a playground, ping pong table, cornhole, fuse ball tables, basketball hoops and even an area to kick the ball in the sand. My 7-year old had a blast while we waited for our food. Came here bc of a friend's rec. Got the full steamer pot to share with hubby that came an assortment of clams, mussels, shrimps along with a corn and a few bratwurst. It was yummy but definitely could've had more. Kids said their salmon kids meal were ok as salmon was a bit overcooked and lacking seasoning, however their side of fried brussel sprouts were delicious. My friend seemed to have enjoyed her chicken Philly cheesesteak. Would come back again to take advantage of HH special between 4-6pm, which only applies when inside the restaurant as it would've been 1/2 the price for the steamer pot.
