Cream of crab soup
Mary K.

I stopped by the brewery for a quick meal and a few drinks on my way out of town. The food was delicious. I got a cream of crab soup and a Caesar salad. The salad was well dressed and very good, the soup didn't have as much crab as I would've liked, but tasted delicious. The bar was quiet at that time so I had a great atmosphere for lunch that day. They had a wide selection of beer to choose from. I really liked their flagship and their sour, although I didn't care for the stout.

This is a very nice place right next to a golf course. There is a ton of seating here. The host sat us right away and the waitress checked on us not too much but plenty. I ordered the veggie burger and Tator tots. The Tator tots were delicious. Perfectly crispy. The burger was good. I haven't had many black bean burgers to compare but it was good. My husband got we I'm the wings. They were cooked great! The salad was good until we got near the bottom. There was too much dressing at the bottom to finish the salad. Our DIL got the oyster sliders and she liked them. The beer selection was just ok.

$17.50 for just rings

Big Oyster Brewery is much better at the Lewes Locaton. Food is hit or miss in Milford. Last year I went a couple times a month for their $20 prime rib special. Always ask for med rare if you want medium. It wasn't to bad a deal for the price. I knew it would be on the smaller size and only came with 2 sides, baked potato is not an option. This year I only went for the special 1 time. Price this year is $24 and I guess maybe it was prime rib. Not like one I ever saw. Smaller than last year and not noticeable under all the sliced partically cooked onions. Not the little cute ones like last year with the great flavor, As I tried to cut my meat, some onions went flying as it was hard to cut. Had some calimari even though they don't serve with the tenticles. They have gotten better at cooking those. No more prime rib there. I will drive a little farther and pay a little bit more at The Palace. Their prime rib special you can eat on for 2 days!

I really enjoyed my visit to Big Oyster Brewery. I went with my mother and we ate on the back patio. The weather was beautiful as was the scenery of the golf course and trees. I had the fish and chips. They were beer battered and delicious. I asked for malt vinegar and tartar sauce. I did think the tarter was a little weird.. and I can't put my finger on why. My mother had the shrimp and grits. Although she liked them.... I would not recommend them. The grits were dry and the sauce tasted like spaghetti sauce. All in all, not what I consider good shrimp and grits. I suggest the chef take a trip to New Orleans and learn how to make proper shrimp and grits. I would definitely go back and try the Philly cheesesteak as post of the food pics where of this dish.

Different Cheesesteak #1160. I'm a big fan of Big Oyster's beers. Specifically, Hot Mess and their collaborations with Fusco's Water Ice. Great location. They are surrounded by a golf course. Very Country Club'esque. Fun chatty crowd. The cheesesteak, this is where everything changed. $17, it did come with (average) fries. The roll was soft or the knife was dull. When they cut it, the roll flattened. It looked like a butterfly or other winged object. The meat was mostly dry. Cheese and extras were sparse and added little flavor. Still love the beer and location.

First time here a few weeks ago and was surprised, as I'm not usually a local beer fan. Tried the Solar Power, was nice and light

Food is good and the happy hour menu is great. I'm a bar seating person and the bar can accommodate a large crowd.

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.

Great craft beer and a relaxing atmosphere! My family stays in Selbyville for our annual vacation…read moreevery June and usually venture up to the Indian River Inlet and down as far as Assateague Island. On a Thursday mid-afternoon we were on our way back to the house from the Indian River Inlet and were in the mood to relax with a beer. Luckily, Bethany Bay Brewing was right on our way home so we took a little detour. The parking lot was pretty empty but to our surprise it was rather crowded. The beertender, Mack, was right there to greet us. She was very nice and helpful, did a great job explaining their tap list, and even gave us recommendations for other local establishments to try out. She also gave us an opportunity to taste any beer before we ordered a pint which is much appreciated! My dad got an IPA while my mom and I got flights (5 pours for $15). I enjoyed all of the beers I tried, especially the Blueberry Blonde and Blood Orange IPA. I would have been happy ordering a full pour of any of the beers I had in my flight (I also had Riptide Double IPA, Dark Seas Chocolate Stout, and Birds Nest Lager). They also provide complementary popcorn to their guests which is a thoughtful gesture. They have seltzers, wines, and ciders available for any non-beer drinkers out there, and I did see a sign signifying discounts for veterans and cyclists! If I lived locally I would definitely be a regular here. Next June I will definitely make it a point to stop in and have another flight of 5 beers I didn't try during this visit. We were very pleased with our short visit and were very happy we made the decision to stop in on our way home.

He also had a IPA and a Long Island iced Tea I had the mahi mahi tacos. Big pieces of fish, pickled onions and salsa verde sauce but it was bland. It would be better if it was mango salsa on top. We would come here again.
