I ordered an unusual wine from their list and James opened a new bottle just for me. That's great service!

Generous portions, which arrived hot and beautifully presented. Definitely a 5 star experience in our opinion. Priced appropriately for the area ($120 for the 2 of us including drinks and food). Highly recommend!!

The host is located outside on the deck, not inside, and we noticed a lot of people making that same mistake. We decided to sit at the bar instead since we saw two open seats, and honestly, it worked out great. The two female bartenders were fantastic--very attentive, friendly, and helpful. They answered all my questions when I was trying to decide what kind of martini I wanted. We also tried the burnt pork belly special, which was really good. I just wish there were a few more pieces that were actually "burnt" or crispy because that's what I was looking forward to. Still, I would definitely order it again! The food overall was amazing. They had TVs playing and a DJ, but it wasn't overly loud, so we could still comfortably talk and enjoy our meal. The atmosphere was fun and lively without being overwhelming. Everything was great, and we will definitely be back!

A Mecca of Meat! A Blazen of Barbecue!!…read more Bethany Blues BBQ Pit understood the assignment. Fill a big beach family with comfort food done right. The portions can be staggeringly huge but the flavor is always able to match! We always order bigggg and this place has been a Family Vacation Institution to our annual Bethany Beach trips. You can smell the smoky aroma of meat all day and even more as you approach! We always order to go so we can sloth in our beach house after overdoing it on food. But in case, you do stagger in- the two story restaurant does come equipped with an elevator to not only deliver you back to the front door, but the whole way to street level. Handicapped accessible, glutton appreciated. We ordered the brisket, pulled pork, carolina pulled pork, pulled chicken, smoked kielbasa, baby back ribs, collared greens, coleslaw, baked beans, mac and cheese, and yesssss... a full platter of cornbread with whipped honey butter! The staff is super accommodating. After placing my online order, I was able to call in and modify with no hesitation. They also have an order tracker, so you can know exactly when it's ready. We love Bethany Blues... and so does all of Bethany Beach!!

I decided to try the made-to-order white oyster stew, which features six whole oysters and follows one of Baltimore's oldest recipes, for $12.50. It was unlike any oyster stew I have ever had, but since I actually prefer my oysters raw rather than cooked in a stew, I doubt I would order it a second time.

I know that because I saw the thermostat. At one point she was even helped us take our daughter to a cooler part of the restaurant because she was getting so uncomfortable. That's the kind of service you don't forget. Give Jordyn a raise--she earned it. As for the restaurant itself, the view of the boardwalk is beautiful, and the wings were surprisingly excellent. The tequila certainly helped. But this place is a 2 Star meal...pretty underwhelming, and the 85° dining room was just gross. That's an easy fix, though. Mango's has a great location and an employee who's worth her weight in gold. Fix the air conditioning, keep making those wings, and take care of Jordyn. She deserves five stars, even if the restaurant isn't there.

Here is a breakdown of my two most recent experiences. During a solo outing with a friend, we arrived just before 4 PM to grab two coveted bar stools right as happy hour began, which now starts at 4 PM instead of 3 PM. I went with my usual two happy hour pepper creek punches and paired them with the happy hour fried chicken sandwich, adding a side of very good hand-cut fries for an extra $2. The portion was large enough that I brought half of the sandwich home for lunch. Bartender Trevor offered a sample of their malty nitro center of gravity english mild draft beer (4.5% ABV), and I loved the notes of toffee, chocolate, and toasted bread so much that I ended my dinner with two full glasses. Thanks to excellent service from bartenders Bill and Trevor, my solo total came out to a reasonable $36 before tip. On my next visit, I brought my family of four on a Wednesday around 6 PM. We were instantly accommodated at booth table 53 on the right side of the restaurant. They had recently updated their regular menu, and I decided to try the Korean beef bowl for $24, which features soy marinated sliced steak, vegetables, greens, an umami glaze, a fried egg, and spicy mayo served over basmati rice. Our server, Cate J., took wonderful care of us, and the total bill for the family was $152 excluding gratuity. Whether for happy hour or dinner, we will absolutely keep coming back.

With a bright bold colors and stunning architecture, the restaurant stands out on the corner. A huge mural of Delaware beckons the local purity. Inside you are greeted by huge brewing equipment in a two story grand dining room, filled with happy families and bustling servers! We always order takeout and they graciously save close parking spots for carryout orders. The online ordering allows for easy modifications and simple ordering. We grabbed a smorgasbord of flavors and made the entire family happy. The Fried Chicken meal comes with famous Delaware chicken and some fun twists of Gochuchang sauce and honey butter rolls. The fried food traveled well and is expertly packaged. On their website, they advertise Beer Battered Shrimp - and by simply calling in, the manager was able to add an order to our meal! Simple entrees. Bold flavors. Definitely a place worth frequenting on your Bethany Beach vacations.

Coming from out of town, always look forward to a visit to Grotto's. Still bummed that the Bethany…read moredowntown location was closed. On a rainy Saturday afternoon, headed here for dinner. It was busy inside, but we were seated quickly for a party of five. Once seated, orders were taken. The Alcohol beverages were delivered quickly, but none of the waters request. Had to flag someone down that proceeded to tell us to tell our waitress... ok, that was strange as we would have if we could have located them. We also ordered two salads as appetizers and only one came. We ordered two cheese pizza and one came right as soon as receiving one salad and other was delayed. We asked for knifes and had to remind a second time and then were told they only have a couple as all were in the dishwasher. So, food was good, but service had a lot to be desired. Maybe not enough servers.

I had been told by friends that Grotto Pizza is known as "grody Pizza" (to use a "Valley Girl"…read morephrase.) ....But I am not Yutzy-Futzy or a rich visitor to Bethany Beach from New York or DC with high-falutin tastes -- just a regular guy who figured that the negative reviews for Grotto Pizza were because in Bethany there ARE a ton of Rich utzy futzy folk who have little taste for basic and affordable fare. As such I was figuring that Grotto would be good-honest and acceptable for a "regular-joe" like me. Surely it's gotta be like Pizza Hut or Round Table or heck, even Dominos.... So I gave it a go.... And ummm NOPE! Waited for almost 10 min to be seated on a quiet afternoon while one employee after another walked by me purposefully avoiding eye contact with me. -zero stars So I had 10 min to look around at the condition of the place - it looked like it had not been deep cleaned for a decade - oh sure they are sweeping/moping the middles but you don't look at the edges or the corners NASTY-also holes in and completely worn out booth benches - and just generally sad worn out basic/and super cheap chairs and tables -Zero Stars Waitress was very nice and prompt (once someone got us seated). -Four Stars Salads were ok, lettuce was fresh but other elements were sparse, someone prolly took great pride in placing the one olive right in the middle next to the one cherry tomato. Dressing was cheap food service stuff. - Two Stars Now to the pizza. It was absolutely just "Grody" as I had been fore warned . It was a general combination specialty pizza straight from the menu. The biggest problem was it was WET Not from grease, but from water which I think may? Have come from canned mushrooms or very wet sweet pickled peppers It was actually dripping "liquid" and thus soggy. The lack of flavor sauce was made worse by how sweet it was - sort of like it was tomato paste mixed with sugar.... The whole thing was tasteless and also comprised of the cheapest possible ingredients. - Zero Stars I guarantee that a dominos pizza that bounced around a deliver car for thirty minutes and is basically cold - Would be an order of magnitude better than what was served to me. It's really sad because peeps in Bethany could use a good honest value driven pizza place - but this is not it. - Choose elsewhere and shame shame on the proprietors they could do so much better.I see this as a basically tourist trap restaurant. Total average stars --- ZERO. Oh yeah and the price is not good either . Absolutely No value for the money you pay.
