Any place calling itself a diner should be able to do a good burger and fries. This place fell short. Foreign staff were less bubbly than most servers/hostesses. Not rude, just no smiles. I assume it's their culture. Parking is limited. read more

We have been here multiple times over the years and went back again yesterday for breakfast. They have remodeled the restaurant and it looks really nice. They even have a bar and serve alcohol now. Our waitress was so friendly and personable! The service was understandably a little slow due to it being Thanksgiving morning and then being really crowded. I had the blueberry pancakes, which were filled with lots of blueberries and cooked just right. My dad had the country omelet and my fiancé had the eggs Benedict. We all enjoyed our food and will be back again soon! read more

11.24.25 Bethany Diner Review We were in the area around lunchtime, and my mom mentioned stopping here--she and my dad used to come after church on Sundays. So we decided to give it a try. It wasn't very busy for a Monday. Our server took our drink orders while we looked over the menu, which has a lot of options. It's a large menu with daily specials, and many of the sandwiches--like the clubs, wraps, hot-pressed paninis, and melts--can be made in different combinations for the same price. The meals are reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The club sandwiches especially are big enough to share if you just want a light lunch to hold you over until dinner. Mom ordered a club, my wife had the tuna melt, and I also went with a club. Everything was very good. I ended up taking half of mine and half of Mom's home and had it for dinner. My wife also had the navy bean soup and said it was really good--something she'd definitely order again. When we're in the area, we'll be back. read more

You can't beat it for the price For $32, you get an appetiser we got the potato skins with bacon. They were very good. You get two entrees and there's about 15 to choose from with two sides and you get two desserts. You can't beat it. We would definitely go back. It's a great cheap date night very clean inside and the service was great. I also got the cream of crab soup as one of my sides and it was surprisingly good and it had a lot of crab meat in it read more

We are here in town from Pittsburgh on vacation. We had breakfast at the diner this morning and it was wonderful! The portions, especially for the kids were great too. They were happy and we left with full bellies. Our server was really nice as well. We got a mix of pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, French toast, a Belgian waffle and the country fried steak. Everything was great! Looks like a much newer facility, and I was thinking for a diner it would have a little bit of an older feel to it. But it was still great. It was busy when we got there, but they got a table together for us quickly. We would come again! read more

Food was generous for the price. The waitress staff was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, a good experience and would come again.

Been coming here over the years and the food and prices are good. The service is always good and the servers are nice. Place is spacious and clean. They still have 2 dinners for $32.00 w/ soup or salad, an app, and dessert. The crap soup was SO GOOD. Full of limp crab meat. Better than many seafood joints I go to. Potato skins were big and really good. We got chicken marsala. It was more like chicken cacciatore but was still very good. Chicken cut with a fork. I really like it here. Great to bring a big family at this quality and these prices. I just read my review from over 3 years ago. Identical order. Hahahhaha. Was $30 back then. read more

Had breakfast on a busy day, people waiting for seats and the restaurant was full with every table/booth occupied. Our server came as soon as we were seated and took our drink order. Decided to have the creamed chipped beef over white toast with home fries. It did not disappoint. It was a generous portion of both. The chipped beef was nice and creamy, the home fries booked just right. I also had an iced coffee as my beverage. Service was quick even as busy as it was. read more

Always great food, always great service. I have tried it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Highly recommend!

This is a must for me and my husband whenever we go to Bethany Beach. Came on Sunday, Sept. 28. You'd think it's off season for a beach vacay. Wrong!! Crowded here like a summer visit. But so worth it. Breakfast is served fast, fresh, and hot! There's always a crowd waiting to get seated. But the wait is never that long because the wait staff and kitchen know how to get those tables turned over quickly. And the funny thing is you don't even realize how fast you're eating. You just know the food tastes so good. This morning I ordered the short stack 2 pancakes with scrapple. Best scrapple ever! Crispy on the outside snd soft in the middle. My husband got the Western omelette with home fries. Be ready with an appetite when dining here. The portions are HUGE!! I skipped the eggs because of this. Definitely recommend this place. Never disappoints. read more

Be prepared to park across the street as this place gets busy! We walked in a were greeted and sat immediately. As we were eating the lobby filled up with at least 15 people waiting. We ordered coffee and a bacon/cheese omelette and a country omelette. The sides were fried potatoes and toast. The omelettes were delish! The coffee was nothing more than hot brown water. lol. Will be back for breakfast but order a different drink. read more

A number of people including my friend recommended this diner for breakfast. This was my first time here around 9:30 am on a Saturday for breakfast with my friend, who recommended this diner. My friend said this place is always busy and hard to get in for breakfast. When we arrived we were offered a table or booth. We opted for the red booth. We were seated immediately at a booth on the left side. Bethany Diner is an American diner with a classic comfort food breakfast menu. It is reminiscent of a 1950s diner, with its red vinyl booths, tables and chrome accents. We both started with a cup of coffee for $2.99 each. Coffee includes unlimited servings. My crab cake eggs benedict with home fries for $15.99 was average at best. The crab cake had very little crab meat and too much filling. My eggs were also over cooked. My total bill for both of us was $33 excluding gratuity. Yana served us very well. I doubt I will return here, since we have other better breakfast restaurants in the area. read more

Are there last night. I had the crab soup which was great. I also ordered the Pastrami Rueben which was a disappointment. What was billed as pastrami was closer to boiled, tough corned beef. My wife had the chili which she enjoyed. Atmosphere was fine, and service was fast so depending on what you order it may be a good choice read more

Service was amazing. Our waitress was very attentive and kind. Food arrived in a timely manor however the food was subpar. The hollandaise sauce was bland, the coffee was not great. read more

Delicious food and exceptional service make this the top spot for breakfast in town. The scrapple here is so good that I'd happily order it again and again! read more

This is the place locals go for breakfast. I've been here a bunch of times and have not been disappointed. I love the fluffy stack of pancakes and the French toast. A short stack of cakes is huge! The prices are fair for a resort town, and service is fast. You won't be disappointed.! read more

This is your average diner. Plenty of food for the price. Great waitress, Christina was excellent. Made our only stay at Bethany, Delaware an enjoyable one. read more

Great food and great service. We went for breakfast two days while in Bethany. The scrabble and bacon were cooked crisp and very tasty. We tried the Philly cheesesteak and crab meat omelettes both were good and enjoyed the chocolate chip french toast. Only wished biscuits were part of the menu, would have gone great with the omelettes. Spacious seating at tables. As a souvenir I purchased one of their Bethany coffee mugs which is a great size and holds lots of coffee. read more

One of the best Diners around. Love everything I've had here, like Club Sandwich and Clam Chowder.People always so nice.

I've wanted to eat at Bethany Diner for years but the wait was always too long. Visiting in the off season resulted in only a 10 minute wait however after eating here I think I'd wait quite a bit longer. The coffee was so delicious and someone was always waking around to offer refills. The pancakes were light and fluffy and the bacon was perfectly crisp! The real star of the show was the avocado toast special! Toasted sourdough bread was covered with bright garlicky pesto and topped with avocado, EBB seasoning, fresh tomatoes and bacon bits. *chefs kiss*. I can't wait to go back! Keep in mind after you get your check from your server, you pay your bill at the front. read more

About once a month my friends and I go to Bethany Diner. The staff is always friendly and welcoming; Never rushes us. The food is delicious. You name it, they have it. Never disappoints. read more

If you looking for a friendly diner that gives you a feeling of nostalgia (service not decor) this is your type of place. From the time I entered the door until I left I felt welcomed and everyone was friendly from the host to the server. The Bethany Diner is located in what you may call a strip mall with a few stores. There is a decent amount of parking so you should be able to find a spot even when the restaurant is full. This diner doesn't have the traditional bar type seating but a nice size dining area with booths and tables. I ordered breakfast well after lunchtime. Pancakes with bacon and both were cooked perfectly. Of course a nice cup Joe with it. My only concern was most of the staff was maskless but I made sure to keep mine on when I wasn't eating. read more

We went for breakfast and everything was very good! The pancakes and Belgian waffles were thick and perfect! The bacon was nice and crispy. The service wasn't slow considering how busy they were. They offer a 3% discount if you pay with cash, so that's what I did since we had a party of 6. Wait time was 15 minutes, not bad. We would definitely go again! read more

Great place to enjoy a nice breakfast or lunch. The staff is very friendly and the food is plentiful and great tasting.

Horrific service and treatment by new owners! Rude, belligerent Russian hostess. Screaming, chanting field hockey team, parents and management were ignoring . Food served with no utensils, sat for 5 minutes after food arrived and waitress asked twice for siverware!!! 20 years cominig here & never again. It deserves less than one. HORRIBLE! read more

Our food was AWESOME! Discussed open face turkey and it was a special "pulled turkey" this evening...I opted for Brussels sprouts and sweet potato. Buddy had mashed potatoes and his mom opted for the "great" chicken cordon bleu panini! Highly recommend. Service was EXCELLENT and it's a cute place!! read more

We love going to the diner. Weekend has a long wait, but not bad when you go during the week. Breakfast all day!!

Food and service is great! Wide variety menu throughout the day. Mostly been there for breakfast.

Great food, friendly staff, awesome service, fair prices, clean & comfortable dining room.

Went for a late breakfast / early lunch and it was packed. We sat at the bar and had an outstanding waitress! Extremely fast service considering the place was totally full. Both meals were excellent ( especially the cream of crab soup with large pieces of crab and great flavor )! Breakfast is all day and prices are extremely reasonable. Will be back often! read more
