    Oh my oh my these wings are delicious
    Beth K.

    This place is gas ! Started with the OVB wings and all three of us devoured the plate pretty quickly. Man they are so freaking good! Two of us ordered off the "daily lunch menu " the Greek salad , with your choice of protein, I got salmon and my brother got Chicken . The vinaigrette salad dressing so complemented this Greek salad and the citrus glazed salmon melted in my mouth . Another friend got the cod sandwich with pickled red cabbage off the menu and she said it was off the hook good. The Ocean View IPA is a light pale ale which is an enjoyable draft that goes down smoothly with citrusy notes !

    First time at Ocean View Brewing. I didn't order food so this review is solely based off of the venue, the beer, and the service. The building is beautiful with plenty of parking. It features a nice, big bar with overflow bar seating, plenty of tables, and a wide open kitchen -- which I love. The menu is diverse and there are plenty of unique options to choose from. Tried 4 different beers, two New England Hazy IPAs (Taking Water & Ocean View IPA), Got Waves Kolsch, and a shandy. Beer was great. Loved the NEIPAs. Service was also very good as the bartender was friendly and gave some great recommendations. Would definitely come back next time I'm in the area (vacationing from NJ).

    Sat outside on the patio with some sour beers! Great atmosphere outside, couches were comfy! Beer was delicious, we didn't have any food but it all smelled so good!

    Old Bay shrimp and grits

    Had a quick lunch at this brewery. Had the Kolsch to drink and Old Bay shrimp and grits to eat. The beer was excellent and the shrimp and grits fantastic. Not busy at even for a Friday, but I'm sure that will change as the summer approaches. Bar tender was great and offered good advice on food and drink options. I'll definitely make a return visit to enjoy more of their beer and food options.

    As you can see from my many prior reviews this is one of my top 5 local restaurants located in Ocean View. I was here for lunch with my family of six including two elementary school children on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We were tired of eating Thanksgiving leftovers. We arrived a little before noon and were immediately seated at a large booth #54 to the right of the entrance. I started with my usual pepper creek punch for $11. I also as usual enjoyed my sloppy Joe Dan Dan noodles for $21. Two of my family members also enjoyed the Dan Dan. I took half of my Dan Dan lunch home for dinner. I ended my lunch with the special edition barrel aged porter past 8 baltic porter 10% ABV for $7. The porter is aged in a bourbon barrel for a year. The porter tastes like creme brulee and oak with a slight hint of dark chocolate on the finish. Katie F. served our table very well. My total bill was $179 excluding gratuity. We all agreed we will all return here again.

    Love this place. It's always a little bit chilly in there but that's ok! The food is so good. Their chicken salad is great. My husband loves the street corn nachos. Fries are equivalent to Thrashers. Great food!

    The place is great! The beer is good, food was good enough but I added the shrimp to my order and I received 4 tiny overcooked shrimps for $9. That's super expensive! Overall I would go back and I do recommend the place.

    Great spot for a family dinner. Easy delicious menu and a good selection of beers. Overall the food was yummy and we didn't wait long for a table. The crab cake sandwich was pretty good and the burrito was a hit with the table.

    This is probably one of my favorite places to eat, they are so nice and have good drinks

    Root Beer. Really good. Note: Refills not free.
    Leena S.

    At the Ocean View Brewery ambiance and service are wonderful. My review is for food only as I don't drink beer. We were here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon in October. It was fairly quiet with plenty of tables, booths and bar space available. As far as my food, I was less than impressed. Perhaps, I ordered the wrong item, but stay away from the Chicken Cheesesteak. It was very dry, hardly any cheese and came with some sort of ranch-horseradish sauce for dipping. Overall it was a thumbs down. My husbands burrito was much better, but I question the $26 price point for a burrito that comes with absolutely no sides. For drinks we ordered the Root Beer, which was really good. Our waiter brought us out refills, which we thought were free. But, were not. So, at $5/glass that quickly added up.

    Nachos

    Visited Oceanview for dinner while on vacation in Bethany Beach. It was around 6:30 when we arrived and the place was packed. Rather than wait for a table, we were able to score 2 bar seats. The server let us sample a few beers before committing. I really enjoyed their summer ale. Their menu is pretty eclectic. We opted to start with the street corn nachos w/ chili con carne. The nachos were tasty and a very big portion but way too many beans in the chili. Since we were so full from the nachos, we only ordered another snack to share - the pork egg rolls. They were also tasty but a bit oily. If we were to go again, I'd be interested in trying their sloppy joe dandan noodles. It was a fun vibe there and service was good.

    I wanted to enjoy this so much more. We live full-time near Bethany Beach, but just got around to…read moretrying Off the Hook for the first time last night. The highlights (and lowlights): The service was awful: We arrived at 5:17 and were seated at 5:22. Drinks took 26 minutes to deliver and the order was wrong. My FiL clearly asked for a Pinot Grigio, but a Sangria was delivered. Cody, the server*, politely repeated that he ordered the Sangria, but that did not happen (my FiL drinks only dry wines). We waited to toast my in-laws anniversary, but had to wait another 7-8 minutes for the correct glass of wine to be delivered. There is no attention to detail in the dining room. The staff are on island time. The first appetizer arrived at 6:08--46 minutes after we sat down! At 6:20, I bussed our table. (After dinner, I bussed our table a second time). Even trying to pay the check Cody was MIA. He came by the table perhaps six times from 5:22-6:45. *There seems to be a lot of summer hires here--folks that want to hang out at the beach, but need to work to pay the rent. The training has be to incredibly minimal. I would guess no family meal, no 5-minute daily wine pairing rundown...basically no front of the house training. When the customer has to stack dirty plates and get a busboy's attention to grab them TWICE...not good, especially for the prices at Off the Hook. The food was quite hit or miss. The good: the crab bisque was excellent...really amazing! The scallop appetizer was also delicious with a base of grits and bacon underneath. However... The bad: we wanted to share the scallop appetizer and asked Cody how many scallops came with that. He said "three". The app was delivered with TWO scallops (Yes...TWO scallops for $19). They were not huge scallops...so 16/20 count. Wholesale, $18 a pound, less than a dollar each. To charge $19 for an appetizer with TWO scallops? Wow! The dish cost perhaps $3.25. A bottle of wine that retails for $15 is $30 in a restaurant. I get it, but marking up TWO scallops with some grits to $19 is insane. I asked the manager about the missing scallop. He advised that the entree came with three scallops--the app two. The entree was $39!! $39 for three scallops! If these were U/8 or U/15 scallops, I maybe could see it, but two 16/20 scallops for $19 and three for $39 is nuts. The pappardelle (appetizer portion) was completely flavorless. It was not cooked with any salt and pepper. It tasted like buttered noodles you find on a kid's menu. Adding salt and pepper (at the table) did little to fix it. My wife's pappardelle entree was equally bland. She tried mine; I tried hers. She looked right at me and said "There is no seasoning on this!". My thought exactly. My FiL had the salmon. He reported that it was tasty. While it was cooked well, $35 for an approximately 5 oz portion is again nuts. As a local, I really wanted to enjoy this meal. It was an anniversary dinner for my in-laws. $260 for four people with bad service and hit-or-miss food and the portions described is not good. I'm not a tourist. Lastly, I cannot forget to mention the FLIES. This is an INSIDE, white tablecloth dining establishment with $30-40 entrees, NOT a beachfront bar. 3-4 houseflies, accompanied by a gnat, joined us for dinner. Crazy. Bethany Beach, Delaware has limited options for dining and cars lined up 100 deep on the main road into town. This can be the only explanation for Off the Hook being so busy, so often. Tourists from NYC and Philadelphia don't bat an eye at paying $39 for three scallops. I don't know what other explanation makes sense.

    Review for Heidaway - Bethany Beach, DE…read more It was the weekend after Memorial Day 2025--when the beach is still buzzing, but you can actually find parking and order a drink without elbowing someone in a straw hat. We rolled into Bethany Beach to kick off our summer, minus the chaos, and Heidaway was the first place that pulled us in with a wink and a steel drum beat. Right on the edge of the boardwalk, this place has big tropical energy. Think Key West meets Delaware--palm fronds, sea breeze, and the gentle background hum of fun. The outdoor seating is shaded but still breezy, like Mother Nature knows you want SPF without sweating through your shirt. And the music? Bright, beachy, and setting the scene for "yes, we are on vacation, thank you." Service? On point. From the friendly hostess to our magical waitress who somehow knew when we needed napkins, another round, or just a smile--everyone brought their A-game. No tourist trap vibes here. Just good, solid hospitality. Cocktails: We kicked off with a Moscow Mule, chilled in a classic copper mug and strong enough to make you forget your group chat's been blowing up since Tuesday. Spicy, refreshing, and just boozy enough to remind you you're off the clock. And the second drink? Let's call it the Mystery Mai Tai of Joy. We don't remember what was in it. We just know it was tropical, delicious, and made us say "we should move here" at least twice. The Food: Oysters Rockefeller - Baked to perfection, smothered in a creamy, herby sauce and topped with crispy breadcrumbs. The kind of dish that makes you lean back in your chair and toss your plate at a fireplace (if they had one) Lobster Roll & Fries - A buttery masterpiece. Generous chunks of lobster, golden toasted roll, and fries that nailed the crispy-soft ratio. They didn't hold back with the portions, and we didn't hold back either. Beet Salad - A beachy surprise hit. Sweet roasted beets, creamy goat cheese spread, and peppery arugula doing a power pose on the plate. It made us feel like we were balancing out the rest of the meal... even if dessert was already a foregone conclusion. If you're heading to Bethany and want to dodge the madness while still soaking up summer magic, Heidaway is a great spot. Come for the drinks, stay for the oysters, and let the ocean breeze convince you that everything is right in the world--even if only until Monday.

I will summarize my three most recent visits in March during the off season on Friday's at 4 PM. We arrived at 3:50 PM prior to their open at 4 PM. Already two people were online. We waited in my Audi waiting for other customers to arrive. Other vehicles arrived around 3:55 PM so we exited my Audi to get in line behind the other two customers. When they opened at 4 PM we secured our favorite table for 4 to the left of the entrance. We were happy that Mike from his former Catch 54 served our table. We first met Mike here at Bluecoast back in 2021. Also Kelly from her former Off The Hook also stopped by to say hello. We enjoyed our dozen Chunu Virginia oysters. I also enjoyed my usual tuna poke for $15 with white rice, carrots, pineapple and jalapeno peppers. I ended my meal with a pineapple martini for $8. We returned here for our second visit with our friends. Since there were five of us we sat in their second booth on the right. Again Mike stopped by to say hello. I started with my margarita with salted rim for $9. Kelly delivered our dozen of the Chunu Virginia oysters for $12 to also say hello. I also enjoyed my two pineapple martinis for $8 each. I also enjoyed my tuna and salmon poke for $16. We also shared a bottle of Trefethen chardonnay for $58 with the Friday 1/2 price wine reduced down to $29. My total bill was reduced down from $143 to $114. Lindsay S. served us very well as usual. We returned for our third visit on Friday. We sat at the table to the left of the entrance. Kelly and Mike stopped by to say hello. I started with my margarita for $8 and ended with my pineapple martini also for $8. Again, I enjoyed my dozen Chunu Virginia oysters and my poke. Alexis D. served us very well. Customer service and friendship are most important. We will continue to return here for the off season happy hour.

Our first visit took place on Mother's Day around 4:00 PM. Because brunch was still being served and dinner didn't begin until 4:15 PM, I booked a table for two, and we passed the time at the bar. We caught some live music while I enjoyed a $16 Maker's Mark Manhattan before settling the bar tab. Once dinner service opened at 4:15 PM, we were seated inside at table 45 to escape a breezy outdoor deck. It turned out to be the debut day for their new menu. I ordered another $16 Maker's Mark Manhattan and the $36 seafood stew--a rich combination of fish, clams, shrimp, fennel, pepper, onion, Spanish chorizo, and tomato seafood broth accompanied by grilled bread. It was a generous portion, so I brought the remaining stew home to enjoy later that evening. To conclude the meal, I tried the Lucky 7 porter from Evolution Craft Brewing Company ($7), which featured dark dried fruit and sweet toffee tones balanced by notes of chocolate, coffee, and smoke. Our server, Brendan V., did an excellent job caring for us and demonstrated great knowledge of the new menu, even while managing a large outdoor table with five children. Our total bill for that evening came to $114, excluding gratuity. We returned on Memorial Day for a second dinner, this time in a group of five that included family and a friend visiting from Scottsdale, AZ. Since the outdoor fire tables were completely full, we secured a table on the left side of the restaurant. I began with a spicy mango margarita for $14, which featured tequila, mango, lime, agave, jalapeno, and a tajin rim, and opted for the $36 seafood stew once again. Unfortunately, the cocktails were inconsistent this time; I ordered a Maker's Mark Manhattan up, but it tasted like watered-down bourbon. When a second Manhattan tasted exactly the same, I decided to cancel the order. Nevertheless, our server Nadine K. provided excellent service throughout the evening, and our bill came out to $92 before gratuity. Ultimately, we all agreed that we would gladly visit again.
