Friendly service and great BBQ! Started with a 45mjn wait but turned into a 3min wait when a waitress quickly directed us to an area that was first come first served bar style seating. Hubby was thrilled to be facing the Orioles vs Nats game on TV. Food was delicious and everyone found something they enjoyed. Brisket is tops. We'll be back! read more

Great food. Our party of seven had drinks, chicken, barbecue, fish, various salads etc. Service was great. Loved our waiter Seth. All great. Our new Bethany favorite. read more

What Bethany Blued did this weekend was magical. They were the caterer for an inagural breast cancer 5k. In the closed the parking lot at the Starboard, they served all their fine food at no cost beyond the entrance fee. Their pork was especially good, but the best think Saturday was the smoked chicken wings. Thank you, Bethany Blues; you rock for all the right reasons. read more

Benn going the Bethany Blues for nearly 10 years now. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. The bartenders are great. The manager Rory, always makes it a point to stop by and say hello. Can't wait for them to re-open so I can once again enjoy it with family and friends. read more

If you have a bad experience here, there is something wrong with you-NOT the restaurant or its staff. Foods great. Staff kicks ass. Shout out to Zac, Rory, Nicole, JR, Steve, Kevin, the Heidenbergers, etc read more

Meh. The brisket was more like dry roast beef, the pulled pork was also dry, and not much flavor. The mac & cheese was also dry? Can't explain dry mac and cheese. The sauces helped, and they are good, but good BBQ shouldn't need to be saved by sauces. I may give them another try, hoping it was a fluke. Good luck. read more

The epitome of mediocrity. If you need a place to feed the kids without breaking the bank, this is a decent option. Just keep your expectations on the modest side and you won't be disappointed. read more

I came here off season in 2013 and I found the ribs to be pretty good. Came back this year though and totally different. The ribs were overcooked and dry. Last year I was pleasantly surprised since my expectations were low for BBQ in DE. Our waitress was nice and came by often but when we mentioned the ribs were dry, she said she would go let the staff know. She came back and just said sorry, it'll be better next time. Sorry, but there probably wont be a next time. read more

This place is DELICIOUS! We had Kate as our server and she was super attentive and nice, checked in on us often. Highly recommend the BBQ combos with ribs and Carolina pork! And super yummy Mac & cheese. Will definitely be back! read more

The BBQ is very authentic. The side dishes are very good. The beer selection made my husband quite happy, offering many of the local craft brewery's on tap. We come every year when we r at the beach. read more

Nice place to grab some decent BBQ with a fun atmosphere. Although a little on the loud side for a family, there are plenty of quiet spots to enjoy conversation and the atmosphere. The food was good -- I like to choose the build your own BBQ option to sample a little of each smoky meat. The brisket melts in your mouth, the smoked sausage was dry, but had a nice kick, and the Carolina pulled pork was as expected. Pretty consistent service and food. read more

We chose Bethany Blues based on the recommendation from the tram driver at Sea Colony. I thought the salmon was excellent, the ribs were okay-ish, the chicken BBQ was bland, the french fries were served cold, the pulled pork sandwich was like literal rubber, and the chicken sandwich was bland. The lighting is horrible and didn't help my headache. This was our first and LAST visit. I think I can sum it up best by stating I will use the kitchen in our condo more frequently than spend my time and money in crappy restaurants. We gave feedback to our waiter, Jason, and he apologized on behalf of the cook, but failed to support the customer by saying... bring you new...give you credit....etc. I think the fries at Sea Colony's concession were actually hot and WAY better tasting ( and not to mention way cheaper) Just to add, it wasn't as horrible as Harpoon Hanna's. read more

This was a decent place for Barbecue at the beach. Brisket was great, baby back ribs were very meaty and tender. I went twice. The first time it was takeout, the second I took all the kids out to dinner there. Yes, it was me and a nine, eight and five year old. All related to me but none of them mine. This place was a great option for kids. They take reservations up until 5:30 -- who else eats that early but the elementary-aged and younger? It was loud and casual enough that kids could be kids and not bother anyone's fancy pants dinner. But it wasn't so loud and crazy that the grownup (me) felt insane. The service was great and the waitress was very nice considering her four top was having one adult meal and three $6.99 kids meals. No drinks but lemonade. Still we ordered a bunch of sides so I didn't get out of there too cheaply, but that's okay. Only get all the nieces and nephews together a few times a year so I was happy to treat. The sides of mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were quite yummy, as were the fries. One nephew got spaghetti and meatballs, his sister got pasta with butter and cheese. (She may have never ordered anything else at a restaurant). We had enough leftovers to feed us all over again the next day at lunch. I've been going to Bethany for years and this place has been there for years. But we have never met until now. Surely I will be back. Of note - don't think they are open for lunch except on the weekends -- too bad. It's my favorite thing at the beach to sneak away from the group for a nice lunch once or twice. Also, they have a location waaaay up Route 1 in Lewes. I'm sure that one is nice, too. Bethany Blues outside of Bethany! That branch is open for lunch every day and also has a Sunday brunch. If you even have the option of eating at Bethany Blues you are lucky because it means you are still at the beach! Lucky!!! read more

I'm not a big BBQ fan, so I reluctantly went here due to my boyfriend's love of all things BBQ. Although I ordered the burger, I tried several of my groups' meals and ended up picking at theirs the whole time. So juicy and spiced to perfection. The sides are amazing.. creamed cheesy corn?!!! Yum! I dipped my fries in that.. OH MAN. If I went here again, I'd order the meats. So good! read more

Who charges extra for sides for take out orders? Bethany Blues BBQ does! I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing. I promptly said "No thank you " and hung up the phone. There are too many other good choices for restaurants. read more

Hour wait for a table. OK. Hour wait for lukewarm food after hour wait for a table. Not OK.

Good food, great vibes and most importantly great people and service. I got the BBQ pulled pork - was cooked great and loved the cornbread they served before our meals. We had a dairy allergy in our party and the Manager JR came out to consult on the menu. The waitress McKenzie was personable and made sure we were taken care of through out the night. To top it off I forgot my cell phone and McKenzie ran after me to return me - so nice of her! We'll definitely be back here soon. read more

Being the off season, a lot of places in Bethany were closed. We decided to give this place a try and are so glad we did. It is some of the best fall-off-the-bone BBQ we've had in a long time! Service was also fantastic and the bar tender made us feel like we were regulars. Can't say enough positive things about the place. Best part is they are open year round. We will be back. read more

After laying out on the beach we decided to grab some drinks at this place. The crushes are tasty and fresh made with fresher squeezed oranges. The BBQ is tasty but not the best I have ever had. If you want a place that is more affordable with great drinks, this is the place. I would go back, but mostly for the drinks. read more

Our server, Clay, was great and very attentive. The food was all wonderful. We will be back again and will try the bourbon cake the next time. We highly recommend this restaurant, you won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent food, good service, tasty drinks. I even like the atmosphere, which is casual but clean-cut. The portobella burger is my go-to. The husband loves the pork BBQ. Fries are hit or miss, but are usually tasty. Coleslaw, corn bread, mac and cheese, and sussex salad are awesome. We go there every time we come to Bethany, which is often, and have yet to have a negative experience. read more

Fail! We were a 4 top that rolled in at 8:30 on Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. Got great seats at the bar, we really wanted some drinks and to nibble. No issue with the drinks or the scene. However the kitchen service/communication was a complete failure. As the food was being placed in front of the other 3 in the party, I was told that my order - hog wings - was 86ed. Would have been nice to know 20 minutes earlier. I then tried to order the barbecue sliders as a replacement and was told that most of the options were 86ed too. I was left with pulled pork as an option - not so bad right? Wrong. The meat was cold, mushy, and flavorless. So I watched my wife and friends eat and we promptly left. Starboard service this is not. read more

We are SO glad they are staying open during the winter. The warm, friendly atmosphere; the great service; the tasty menu; and the wait (or quick seating) are what brings us back each time we visit during months other than July & August!!!! The best place around for locals during the second season! read more

Amazing BBQ and atmosphere! Great for groups and kids! The service was fantastic and friendly.

Loved this place!! We had the ribs and all of the sides were delicious. Family friendly too. Fun cool place and we'll be back.

Very disappointing experience and the food was terrible. We have been going every year for 6 years because who doesn't like BBQ at the beach. Each year has gone down hill. The ribs and brisket were extremely fatty. Service was really slow as well. Not worth the trip especially for large groups. It has been crossed off our list. read more

Aside from the excellent brisket, it was very run of the mill. Cold frosty challas a plus. Someone at our table had the spinach salad with the pulled pork slider, and spent the next 9 hours sliding to you know where. Thank god it was not me! Wheh! read more

I do not understand the good reviews, terrible BBQ. Dry brisket, hard Mac and cheese, sub par can dip. The wings sounded great but had no meat on the bones and the marinade was mediocre at best, they do no provide any dipping sauce to mask the flavor. The cole slaw hardly had any dressing. The only edible part of dinner was the north carolina pulled pork. You would think that a place with dry meat would not charge extra for their tiny cups of sauce. Needless to say I will not be going back. read more

Dined in on 07/29/14, arrived at 5:00 pm and my party of 4 was seated promptly. Started with the crab dip which was decent but I definitely have had better. Kids got the Mac n Cheese and the 1/4 rack of ribs, the wife got the Delmarva Chicken and I opted for the Jumbalaya. The ribs (babyback) were OK...not fall off the bone in fact I think I have made better ones on my maiden voyage of my Weber smoker. All in all, the meal was decent, just nothing exceptional about it. They do have Dogfish 60 min on tap so at least they are doing something right, Im sure well be back but if your looking for authentic BBQ you will probably have to keep looking. read more

Always a great meal at Bethany Blues. The Ribs are great as is the Pulled Pork.. Great Braised Collard Greens!! read more

So So. Expected succulent BBQ. Had Baby Back & Crab Cake combo with baked beans and Mac n Cheese. Have had better ribs at Chinese take out, Famous Daves and even Applebee's. Yes the meat came right off the bone but their was such a small amount on each one it hardly satisfied this 6ft 250lb guys cavity. My daughter had the Buffalo chicken and Blue Cheese Mac n cheese skillet. So many large globs of blue cheese it overpowered the taste of anything else. Appetizers were better. Fried pickles, fresh warm corn bread, and crab dip, all were devoured. Skipped dessert. read more

6 stars is more accurate. We were quick to be seated, our server was on top of everything, and our food was in front of us before we even finished the complimentary cornbread. The ribs were so tender, the meat fell right off the bone. The Bethany Blues spicy BBQ sauce that's used on their house style ribs is so good we had to buy a bottle for ourselves on the way out! The music fuses perfectly with the atmosphere... very laid back. I definitely recommend! read more

Bethany Blues BBQ Pit - Barbeque Near Me - Bethany Beach, Delaware

First time to this restaurant. Awesome kids selection. Had to send my fish back; it was undercooked. Unfortunately so was the second one. No acknowledgment from the manager and still charged full price. Live music was very loud. Bleh is the best I can say. read more

Typical tourist location. Overpriced and overcooked. Wife had the Blues burger ordered medium rare and landed up with well done. I had the Carolina Pork but had a hard time with all the vinegar. Beers are served in magnified glasses to portray volume and quite pricey. This was our second try and probably the last. read more

HOLY SHIZ!! Oh boy! Was this delicious. I ordered the Baby back ribs and OMG! Was it good! Definitely recommend this place to tourists! 5 STARS!! read more

I have been here multiple times and it's always good quality BBQ. Summer is a zoo, but what restaurant isn't? The food is good, service is very attentive and it is still my favorite place for Orange Crush drinks. read more

Dry popular spot for a reason. Great food complimented by an outstanding staff. You can't go wrong with any BBQ item on the menu. We devoured our Brisket & pulled pork across the table. The staff care and are great with the kids; even when the wait times can be long considering how popular it is. Kate is great, she goes out of her way to make sure our family had an awesome experience read more

We call to see if there is a wait...here is what we get... Hi, wondering what the wait time is. We have 22 tables on wait. So, is that an hour? Uh, huh (yes) Would u say that is more that an hour Uh, huh (no idea) So not helpful. Obviously we didn't take a chance and come in. It's a shame bc the food is good and my daughter's fave mac and cheese. So this was today! Yesterday we ordered kid's Mac and cheese and an order of the cheesy corn to go. We pick it up, they can only find one package of plastic ware to offer us but then scrounge up a random for for us. We get up the street where we plan to eat it...the Mac and cheese is luke warm despite being placed in the window as I was standing there. The fries were 'inedible' using my daughter's description and my cheese corn sauce was lining the bottom of the bag. Two strikes! Been coming there for 10 years! Too bad. read more

Food was great and the service as well. If you like BBQ you will love Bethany Blues. We had the pulled chicken and it melted in your mouth. read more

Puff was by far one of the best bartenders I've ever had. Awesome service!! The nachos are some of the best around, highly recommend!
