    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!

To ME, this is not a 4 or 5 star establishment at all. I appreciated the eastethic of the place...it was relaxed but a lot of the diners were dressed nicely. However, why did the hostess have on a hoodie?! This is very strange considering (for the area) this is what they consider a higher end restaraunt. I absolutely hated sitting outside! People will talk about NYC being ghetto....Our table was literally right next to the waiting area. This guy almost hit me because he was that close to our table. smh but we are in times where establishments want to make money on every inch of available space. Take that into consideration if there is only seating outside, which may not be a biggie for others. The food: the bang bang shrimp was VERY heavy on the mayo and the shrimp weren't as crispy. We didn't finish it. I ordered the scallops and they were good but I wasn't a fan of the risotto and didn't taste truffle oil on top. My aunt ordered one of the fish dishes and her fish was overcooked. lol At that point I was feeling gaslit by the reviews because my expectations were wayyyy too high for this place! Service: Our waiter was very nice but he literally came over THREE times to get the bill. There is a tactful way to do this (look from a distance and wait for the customer to clearly be ready and book closed). It was the one turn-off regarding his service that night.
