Bar
Gina A.

Always a great meal! Went on a Sunday when there was brunch and big does their buffet have all the things! It's $35 per person and $15 for kids. Took a walk and looked at the food available on the buffet and it's a deal if you can eat!! Lots of terrific options. We sat at bar and ordered from menu as didn't want buffet (too much food). Ordered a burger - the best! So tasty and delicious. Fries good too. Also had the Carolina Cuban with no bun and Wowzer! Super tasty. Service was great. Very friendly and kept checking on us. This is a BBQ joint vibe that is quite elevated. Great decor. Will always stop here as it's such a great place. Reasonable prices for the quality and quantity. They do have live music and other events. They also have a smaller location in downtown Rehoboth, as well as bigger one in downtown Lewes.

Jerky (aka Half St. Louis ribs)
Denise B.

Don't waste your money. The St Louis ribs, which are supposed to be meaty and marbled, were so thin and dry that they were basically jerky. Couldn't even bite through them. So disappointing for a BBQ restaurant that should specialize in ribs. I've had better ribs from Applebees.

Carolina Chopped Pork sandwich with hand cut fries & cole slaw
Eugene S.

My wife was in the mood for BBQ tonight so we decided to try Bethany Blues. We were pleasantly surprised with our meals. Overall, we have not had good BBQ at restaurants in the past. Tonight was the exception. The BBQ and the service we received was very good. My wife had the brisket cheesesteak and I had the Carolina chopped pork sandwich with hand cut fries. Timber Jack provided smooth R&B guitar music while we dined. Good food, huge beer selection and reasonable prices make this restaurant worth checking out.

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 !

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.

Combo
Kimberly A.

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:)

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.

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 barbecue meats and bourbon selection can't be beat. Homemade BBQ sauces. It gets crowded so I would recommend going early.

This week on Monday - while I was riding by I finally stopped and talked to the guys and they were soooo nice. They told me their hours for the week (currently Friday - Monday until about 4 or 5 whenever they sell out). Yesterday I was riding by and was surprised to see they were open on Easter. 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!!

It must be an off day for them! With all the good ratings we decided to stop by for lunch after…read moreriding the bikes around the bay. We ordered a plater of half rack ribs and a pond of brisket. While the brisket was pulled pork mostly and maybe a few strand of beef mixed in. The ribs are dry. The collard greens were extremely salty. We loved the cole slaw! Maybe because today was Easter and the usual cook was off?

This has long been my personal favorite since we moved here. We went in for the weekly offseason…read morespecial, and it was only a short wait. Time for a glass of wine! Maddie seated us and went through the specials including what I could adapt for my gluten issues. Like many places, steak is usually the safest choice so I had the steak frites while my dinner companions had the hamburger special. Both were very happy with their burgers. I liked the steak frites, and took half of it home because it was more than I could eat! The environment is normally very pleasant, but a group of senior citizens were incredibly loud and yelling. I had to turn down my own hearing aids and focus them through the app to listen to who's in front of me. Look kids, we all grew up learning about "inside voice" from our parents. It's still a thing, so please use it. If you're having a hard time hearing - see an audiologist. But don't scream at each other across the table in a restaurant like a bunch of kids.

Their Thursday night steak special is great. An 8oz of filet mignon and a 10$ credit towards a glass of wine for $35. The cheeseboard is also really good. It comes with honey and fig jam, nuts, pickled vegetables, and some other things. It's nice to nibble on while having drinks before the entrees. The desserts are lovely too. Our favourites are the lemon cake and whatever cobbler they have. Just scrumptious.
