Grasshopper
Georgia B.

Love Bonkeys! I always get the Grass Hopper (basically Mint Chocolate chip but better). Definitely get cinnamon roll or cake batter, those are great too! Line is always pretty long and moves slow so bring bug spray or else you'll get bit!

Cosmic cake
Kathy T.

I am still dreaming about the cosmic cake flavor. I can not wait to come back here just for this flavor. Imagine a really good birthday cake flavor ice cream with ooey gooey marshmallows!!! I also like how the ice cream is not as dense. This place is definitely on my list to go back to when i am in the area. My puppers also really enjoyed her soft serve with a dog treat. She was so focused on the soft serve that she forgot there was a milk bone!

Chocolate chip cookie dough

Rlly cute little ice-cream shop. They serve hard ice-cream and vanilla and chocolate soft serve. They have some cool flavors to choose from. The service was fast and friendly. I wish they had more places to sit there was a lot of people standing around. I also wish they had like "blizzard" type options, but just milkshakes or scoops. Rlly cute! Would recomment

Menu is huge! This was my first time here and loved it. Came down to hang out at the beach with my family and this place was crowded when we went. We went around 745pm and there was so much on the menu but decided to order 2 homemade hand dipped ice creams. Staff were really nice and all wearing masks. The young girl also asked if I needed a bag since I was carrying a lot of napkins and 2 ice creams. That was really nice of her. The parking lot has no lines and lots of puddles but overall this place is a hit and cant wait to come back with my family next year.

Huge menu

Went to Bethany for the day and on the way back stopped here. A bit tucked away so a bit easy to miss. Awesome menu, so many different flavors and options a bit overwhelming. Quite a crowd for the offseason. Had my go to of a Butter Pecan with nuts and sprinkles. Great rainbow sprinkles, very large and crunchy. Fast, courteous service. Family had a great experience. Generous portions, good value.

I did not care for this ice cream. It wasn't very tasty and was handed to us very sloppily. I don't have much to say about it.

If someone were to try the coconut cream pie from Patsy's and tell me they didn't care for it. I…read morewould cut them out of my life. It's that serious.

Food Experience We…read moreordered the tuna poke, flash‑fried whole red snapper, salad with grilled shrimp, and coconut cream pie. Each dish was excellent -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The coconut cream pie was a standout dessert, and the seafood dishes were cooked perfectly. Atmosphere We sat at the back of the outside patio, which was pleasant in terms of seating and ambiance. However, the location had some drawbacks: The dumpster was directly behind us, and the smell carried into the dining area. Flies were present on the patio, and it seemed likely they were attracted by the dumpster rather than the breeze. 14 Global, the neighboring restaurant, had a cook who frequently exited the side door next to our table to smoke. The cigarette smoke drifted into our eating area, only 5-10 feet away. Overall Impression While the food was outstanding and the patio seating had potential, the environmental factors significantly detracted from the experience. The proximity to the dumpster and cigarette smoke made the meal less enjoyable. Recommendation I would not discourage anyone from visiting Patsy's -- the food is worth it. However, I would caution diners about the back patio seating, as the location near the dumpster and neighboring restaurant's smoking area can affect the overall dining experience.

We had Molly as our bartender who was helpful in offering up meal selections and she modified my drink and made it just like one I got to try in the Middle East! We didn't feel rushed, but the space is quite small, so arrive early and get a reservation if you can. Most parking nearby is paid parking through the city so double check or you can get a $$$ fine. The espresso martini style drink had beet shavings on top, something I have never seen before with that drink. It didn't really affect the taste, but it looked cool.

Been wanting to try this place for a while. When we came to town again, we decided it was time to…read morecheck it out. Let's start with some positives. The location is wonderful, located right in the town of Bethany. We sat outside on a nicely done patio that was relaxing and perfect for the weather. The waitress was very accommodating and well trained. She asked about allergies and made sure we had what we needed. When we did not like a dish, they did comp us, which was unexpected. The negatives unfortunately outweigh the positives as we do not intend to eat there in the future. First, it was very overpriced for a tapas place. Each tapa was about 22-25 dollars. These were not a reasonable price for tapas. We ended up leaving hungry. The food was presented very nicely, however, the food lacked in flavor and execution. The tapas all had good concepts but none were great and some were simply bad. The cauliflower was coated in something that made it taste burnt. The gnocchi were not even gnocchi and the dish lacked balance as it was super sweet. The scallops were well cooked but the mushrooms and corn had no flavor. The bison sliders were decent but the buns were hard and burnt and the slider had no sauce. The tuna crudo was probably the best one but it was very oily. Again, good concepts, just poor execution. Cocktails were upwards of 16 dollars and a glass of wine was about the same. I could walk down the street and get a drink for much less. We got other people's food twice as they have people carrying out food that aren't our server. I wish I could rate this place higher but it is not worth the money they are charging.

Manager Nick (whom we initially met at Off The Hook) came over to say hello, and Anthony B. provided excellent service. Our bill came to $67 before gratuity. Happy Hour Visit: We joined our friend and another couple at a high-top table for happy hour. I had two orange crushes for $7 each along with six happy hour hot chicken wings for $13. Nick greeted us again, and Katherine C. gave us great service. My bill was $49 before tip. Sunday Football Visit: We sat at the bar for a happy hour dinner during Sunday football. I began with a $7 draft Guinness. Together, we shared the $13 short rib poutine--hand-cut fries topped with short rib, gravy, and fontina cheese. I also ordered the $13 happy hour hot chicken wings and finished with an $8 draft imperial pumpkin beer. The total bill was $60 before gratuity. Everyone agreed that we will keep coming back for happy hour or dinner.

BEST ICE CREAM IN TOWN! Best COFFEE in town!!…read moreBest staff in town!!! Maureen's IS Bethany Beach! I spend the majority of my vacation at Maureen's morning and evening!! With the small town charm for Bethany Beach, the creativity of expert marketing on their social media, and the family feel of staff that makes every interaction so genuinely kind and sweet, Maureen's has been part of our Bethany Beach routine for decades now... and we love everything about them! Even their merch drops are top of the line.. and super competitive because of how loved they are by the Bethany Beach goers. CUSTOMER SERVICE SHOUTOUT - One vacation, they dropped a new shirt the week after our annual vacation, I messaged them on social that I desperately wanted it - and they personally shipped one to my house!!!! THE BEST!!! HIGHLIGHTS: French Toast Latte - an expert mix of spice, syrup, and coffee!! I got it iced with oat milk and wish I could have bought it by the gallon Three Brown Bears - toast with peanut butter, banana, honey, and chocolate chips - my family frequently wakes up to me replicating this at home - but I always yearn for it every summer from Maureen's Graham Slam Ice Cream - the Graham cracker ripple is literally the best and this is a must do ice creammmmm PRO TIPS: Always go inside! The staff here is the highlight. Talk to them. Ask for order suggestions. Thank them for being the best at Bethany Beach! No ice cream line is tooo long. Yes, it goes out the door and looks long, but you will waste an evening if you go to Kohr's or Dickey's - less flavor, inferior ice cream. The line moves fast and you can just enjoy being on vacation. Remember popular places are popular... and that's good! Shut the door while you wait! Holding a door open at an ice cream shop in the middle of summer is quintessential entitlement - the line won't cut you. Shut the door and go in when there is space.

Has 2 areas, cafe fare in the front, ice cream station in the back. Generous servings of ice cream - $6.50 for a small, which wasn't small at all.
