Best Easter Day snack. Best eaten warm and fresh off the assembly line. The faves are always the surfer dude, Ms Sandy and Aw shucks... and Charlie Brown too!

(This review is for the second drive thru location in Bethany- but there is not a page for it- but the review isn't location specific). Kept seeing this all over during our trip to Bethany, they have two locations in Bethany, one that has a drive thru happened to be a short walk from the hotel- connected to a quick stop. They're cake donuts made hot and fresh and you can get dipped flavors. I looked up their menu ahead of time because I'm horrible at deciding. Unfortunately two of the flavors I wanted were unavailable. I got half a dozen which was $12. There was a decent amount of staff working and a long wait but the donuts were made very quickly. I went with the strawberry stallion (a backup), surfer dude(backup) and the salted caramel. We didn't eat them until about 2 1/2 hours after we got them but they were still surprisingly warm- although not the most pretty. My boyfriend got the porky pony, blueberry pie and blue moon. He said the porky pony was very bacon-us I enjoyed the surfer dude the most. The fruit dipped ones were definitely very brightly colored which differed from the photos online a lot. And my strawberry stallion honestly didn't have much flavor. I did like the salted caramel. Overall I like filled donuts more than topped donuts but I will take a cake donut over a regular one any day. Overall not bad, I think most shore points have their famous donut spots and for this to be Delawares I have no complaint. Just don't think it's a "must stop" for me!

Blue moon, cookies n cream, surfer dude and mud pie. Mocha iced coffee

I have never before had donuts this fresh and hot! We ordered cookies n cream, surfer dude, mud pie, and blue moon. The donuts came out piping hot and the little chocolate chips on surfer dude were melty. Absolutely delicious, MUST come back! Coffee was also good.

Gluten free powdered sugar and cinnamon sugar donuts

What a treat to finally be able to have a donut again! It's tough to find gluten-free donuts, and even more rare to find ones that are served hot and fresh. The employee working was able to confirm that the cinnamon sugar and powdered sugar toppings could be added to gluten-free donuts without cross-contamination. I thoroughly enjoyed both! They were hot, fresh, fluffy, and a tasty treat after a morning on the beach. The shop does get very busy during peak hours, which speaks to how popular they've become in Bethany. The space is small inside, but they've designated an entrance and exit to help the flow of people and have a few picnic benches for seating outside. Can't wait to go back again.

A beach staple. Seriously you can't go to Bethany and not treat yourself once to these... I promise you'll swim it off! Every donut is amazing!!!! Be aware that there will be a long line, best practice is to show up early and know what you want.

Two glazed donuts. Seafoam which is coconut. Salted caramel donut

The donuts were great. They were cake like donuts did not seem like had a large amount of lard. They are made to order and came out warm!!!

Fresh, warm, delicious donuts made to order! I recommend all flavors, especially the fruit pebble one.

Gluten free and nut free - sprinkles, blueberry,maple bacon, coconut, cinnamon, and chocolate chip.

This is a hidden treasure! GLUTEN FREE and nut free donuts!! Yummy!! The BEST Açaí bowls I have tasted because they are NOT too sweet. I could really taste the Açaí and the fruit toppings. I'm back in the DMV and what I miss about the beach is this Açaí bowl. I wish I had asked for light honey, because I don't do sugar regularly adding the honey was a little too sweet. It was perfect on its own, maybe just a little drizzle. The donuts were hot and moist. My favorite was the maple bacon, then sprinkles, coconut, blueberry, and the cinnamon and chocolate chip were okay. I wish I had tried the powder sugar instead of the cinnamon.

After waiting at Dunkin' Donuts forever for a terrible egg burrito, we went to get my nephews a Pony Donut and they smelled SO good, I had to get one. It was absolutely delicious. They have all kinds of flavors but he plain glazed was just perfect for me. It's a little tricky to find. It's around behind the store. Worth finding! And no line.

Upscale Crab & Seafood Bethany - Lobster Roll Platter

I was looking for a quick bite to eat when I spotted the Upscale Crab and Seafood food truck and I…read moredecided to give it a go. With that being said, I ordered their signature Hush Crabbies and they were delicious. To explain, the crabbies had a crispy outer crust and a soft, warm, cake-like center. They combined a rich corn flavor with a mild touch of sweetness and savory. In addition, the crab meat tasted fresh and flavorful. I just wish they put more crab meat inside the hush puppy. To put it briefly, Upscale Crab and Seafood food truck offers tasty Hush Crabbies that deserve your attention.

Where do I even begin? With Kevin, the amazing owner whose hospitality is second to none? Or with…read morethe incredible food? We pulled up to The Upscale Crab & Seafood Truck without expecting much because it's been so hard to find truly great seafood in Bethany and Ocean City. You'd think being so close to the ocean would mean amazing seafood is everywhere but that's definitely not the case. From the moment we arrived, Kevin made us feel welcome. His hospitality, honesty, and passion for his food are some of the best we've experienced in a long time. He took the time to explain every item on the menu, which includes crabs, crab cakes, lobster rolls, fried shrimp, fried fish, steamed shrimp, hand-cut fries, coleslaw, and hush crabbies. What really impressed us was his honesty. Instead of trying to sell us everything, Kevin recommended the items that were at their best that day. For example, he suggested skipping the fried fish because the day's catch wasn't as large as usual. Instead, he recommended the crab cake platter and the lobster roll. And even gave us a sample of the lobster roll which is delicious. We ended up getting a dozen large crabs, which he generously gave us a discount on, along with the crab cake platter. Every single bite was outstanding. The crabs were perfectly seasoned, and the crab cake was packed with fresh crab and absolutely delicious. Without a doubt, The Upscale Crab & Seafood Truck serves the best crabs and seafood we've had in Bethany Beach and Ocean City. I'll be in town for the next week, and this will absolutely be my go-to spot for seafood. If you're looking for fresh seafood, generous portions, and exceptional customer service, don't miss this place!
