    Fried Shrimp
    Kristina K.

    We came by on a rainy late afternoon and were the only people in line. We missed the afternoon rush and the rain must have also been keeping people inside because every other time we have driven by Upscale there was usually a line. My brother knew he wanted to try the lobster roll, but my dad asked what they recommended. The guy, who we found out later to be the owner, went through each menu item, telling us how they get the ingredients and how everything is prepared. All the seafood is brought in fresh and it is Upscale that freezes it themselves, only to thaw the day of preparation. Some of their sauces, like the tartar sauce and remoulade sauce, are homemade. The owner seemed very passionate about his business and seemed to value quality of ingredients immensely. In addition to the lobster roll we also ordered the crab cake sandwich, fried shrimp, and french fries. The order was a little pricey, but for quality seafood that is expected. We did have to wait about fifteen minutes for the food to be ready, as they were making the food right then. While I only tried a piece of the lobster roll this day, my dad and brother were instantly impressed. The lobster roll was perfectly buttered and grilled, with fresh lobster and bread. My dad said it may have been the best crab cake sandwich he has ever had. The crab cake was all jumbo lump crab and perfectly crispy on the outside. They also loved the fried shrimp and french fries. My brother always says you know it's a good french fry if it does not need ketchup and he did not need ketchup for these fries. Overall, Upscale seems to be an awesome addition to the Bethany Beach scene and is a must try for all seafood lovers. Even the non-seafood lovers may want to try it out too!

    This remains one of my top five spots for happy hour at the bar or dining with family, thanks to…read moremore than ten past visits showing how great it is inside or out. 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.

    Ocean View Brewing Co is an oasis of a restaurant in a small coastal adjacent town!…read more Right outside of Bethany Beach, Ocean View Brewing brings vacation flair to an otherwise complacent town of small, unassuming businesses. 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.

    Visiting Honey's was on our bucket list for our weekend trip and we're so glad we made it!…read more The omelettes were delicious. The latkas were...not quite what we expected? The hard exterior made it difficult to eat and many of us gave up on it. It was also very well seasoned, perhaps even too salty. The pancake special was huge. I feel the menu could specify how many pancakes each item comes with. Overall a good diner experience. We had plenty of space and found a quiet spot for all the children (where we didn't bother any other diners). Would come again!

    I expected a better experience, unfortunately this restaurant for breakfast has a lot of work to…read moredo! I spent 50.00 (including 18% tip) for two breakfast entrees (short stack of blueberry pancakes and a side of scrapple, one order of avocado eggs benedict with homefries), one coffee and one small glass of fresh squeezed grapefruit juice (7.95!) The service was s l o w even though we were seated right away. Our waitress never came around to refill the coffee. The table with 6 people who were seated directly after us had to wait about 20 minutes before the waitress even took their order. I also heard them complaining about the lack of refills for coffee. The table seated in the booth directly behind us got up to leave after getting their drink order because the service was so slow, but then decided to stay once their waitress told them it'd only be 15 minutes for their food to come out! As for my breakfast... I'm not sure how hard it is to mess up pancakes and scrapple...but they did! The pancakes were soooo tough!!!! It's as if they had been microwaved! That's the only thing I can think of that would make for such a tough pancake. The scrapple was tepid and very THIN. My wife's eggs benny were "meh" she said. We won't be back that's for sure. Slow service, food was below average... definitely nothing to write home about, especially considering all of the wonderful places in this area to eat.
