There's a review here that says that this place in on the corner. The one on the corner is technically DB's Fries. You know they are both the same owner or at least the same franchise even though slightly different names and a slight different array of offerings. This location at the inside area of the same plaza has seating and more seafood. They use quality bread for their oyster po-boy and and use slightly different ingredients compared to the po-boy at DB-Fries. I forget what the ingredients were at both places- you can investigate yourself, lol. I just wanted good food and to stay out of the slight rain on this particular day. The fries are fresh and well done. Better than Thrashers imo and not a line. Looking back, I probably should've gotten the lobster roll here and the po-boy at Henlopen instead because at Henlopen, it's a combination of seafood instead. Nonetheless, the seafood here was fresh and if it's not a bad day and love seafood, you probably can't really make a wrong choice Staff here is friendly. read more

This was a mind blowing experience no extra sauces needed! Butter and lobster simple but extremely flavorful. I could go back for every meal if the lobster roll tasted like that every time. The coleslaw had what I believe to be horseradish or something in it that set it aside from all the other local ones. It was super tasty. The fries were decent but nothing special just all around good fries (maybe the need a special sauce for those to set them off). Service was short and to the point and not much of a vibe or ambiance for a snack shack style. read more

Mmmmmmmm mmmmmm good. Taint fancy taint cheap but the food's worth it. Yum Yum lobster mac & cheese, and crabcakes galore. Plus they have Birch Beer so really how can you go wrong? Definitely going again, but not too soon cause I'll be broke. read more

Even though there is great variety on the menu, my husband and I both ordered the hot lobster roll which came with fries and coleslaw. It was absolutely delicious. All of it. Lobster roll, fries and slaw! Service was pleasant and quick. The little spot even has some tables and booths to sit inside to get a break from the sun. If I'm in the area again, I'd eat here again. Highly recommend! read more

Got SUCH a good lobster roll here! It was the perfect lunch for the beach and super close to pick up. The lobster-Mayo ratio was perfect and the chunks of lobster were the perfect size. No unnecessary celery or other fillers in there. The fries were crisp and well salted, and the coleslaw was a refreshing bite in between the roll and fries. I also tried the crab cake sandwich, which was also great, just not as refreshing on the beach because it is hot. My family ordered from here a couple of days in a row because we were so impressed! read more

DB's Seafood has some of the best food in Bethany Beach. The quality of the food served beats ALL the SoDel restaurants. It's a carry put with inside seating.Its a great place to go with kids because it's quick and high quality food. The food is served in styrofoam and the place is not for dining, but it has a certain charm and everything is delicious. My favorites are the lobster roll and the flounder sandwich. My husband lives the crabballs and the cream of crab soup. read more

Things are still weird at restaurants as the world starts to reopen after Covid. We found this place via Yelp, because we were in Bethany and I wanted a low key casual seafood dinner. I wanted the experience we'd had in other beach towns of being near the ocean and having a variety of yummy things. This place is tucked in the back of a weird mall sort of building. We weren't sure how it worked or what to expect. We stepped into an area with a counter and a HUGE menu written on a chalkboard wall. It was confusing-- like too many different options, in varying sizes, but all sort of the same. We ordered a ridiculous amount of food for 2 people: clam strips, scallops, shrimp cocktail, crab balls and a lobster roll. The kitchen area is right behind the counter where we ordered so it was easy to see that they were busy. There seemed to be a lot of to-go and takeout orders. There also seemed to be an excessive number of people in a small area and the person who took our order didn't really seem to know what she was doing. She had to ask someone cooking how to add a couple of the things we wanted to our order via the register. No big deal. Then we sat in their dining room, adjacent to the ordering/kitchen space. There was some soccer game on the tv in the corner and the volume was turned WAYYYYYYY up. It was annoying enough until the game ended and we got to hear the same loop of music and information over and over again, while we waited 30 minutes for our food, before someone in the kitchen changed the channel. The food was exactly what we expected from what we ordered and we enjoyed it all. It was a little pricey, but that was also expected, given the location. I see that others have said the dining room was dirty. We did not experience that. My look into the kitchen also found it to be up to cleanliness standards. read more

The staff was HORRIBLE!!! They were cursing and yelling at each other and at costumers and they were so rude to me! I don't care if the food was good I'm never coming back! Such a hostile environment! read more

fantastic food that you wouldn't expect when you see the plabe. Maryland crab soup is ohonemena!

Got food poisoning from a lobster roll here this past Memorial Day weekend. 0/10 not a fun experience.

Literal hole in the wall... in a mall. Was pretty confused trying to find the place. The people working were very kind and they have seating off to the side. But to get to the point, we got two warm lobster rolls which came with fries and coleslaw. Coleslaw was eh, fries were crunchy but the lobster roll... it was pretty dry, which was a little off putting since we had high expectations. You're better off going across the street to mason's. However, we did get the cheese curds which were delicious but kinda over priced considering the portion size. read more

I went twice with my daughter. Each time she got the cold lobster roll and I got the soft shell crab sandwich. She loved her lobster roll, and rated it as being as good as any she's had. The soft shell crab is tasty too! Previously frozen (it wasn't in season, so that was to be expected), but not grainy on the inside so I'd say it's as good as you could ask for. For my taste, the roll is too thick and overpowers the crab - but it was soft and fresh. Second day I actually just ordered the crab (not as a sandwich). I thought the prices were very reasonable. I will be going again! read more

Good quick, casual dinner spot! We had three kids in our group, all of which enjoyed their meal (fried fish and fries). I had the warm lobster roll and it was good! You order from the counter, find your seat, then they call your name when your food is ready. Good place to go if you're looking for something casual and fast! read more

So so good we went every day! The crab balls, crab cream soup, soft shell crab tacos, and ceasar salad were fantastic. It takes 20 mins so you can call ahead to order. read more

The food here was phenomenal. It's in a humble setting, but don't let that deter you - we had incredibly fresh and delicious scallops, fried shrimp & crab cakes. Truly excellent. And the fries and coleslaw were great, too. Quick, no-nonsense, and delicious. read more

My friend and I looked up the review for this place and decided we had to come here for lunch. We called them ahead of time so the food would be ready for pickup. I gotta say, the hot lobster roll is pretty damn good. They didn't skimp, and the bread tasted pretty good. Wish I grabbed some hot butter but it's all good. The fries were also delicious (I kept downing them with the coleslaw). I also tried the oyster roll and that was also solid. Definitely an awesome place to eat a lobster or oyster roll. Note: this location is inside the building. They have a booth that is outside just a few steps away but that's always packed so if you want it fast, order ahead of time from the inside location. read more

Yummy place!! I really wanted to get a warm lobster roll (hard to find since they're usually the cold kind) and I wasn't let down. Great portion but definitely pricey. To be expected with lobster though so I didn't mind - this was a nice treat. Lobster is quite rich to me, so this whole roll is a lot. I got cornbread on the side and it was delicious. The coleslaw was great too. I would definitely come back here for other items on the menu too. I haven't been to Bethany Beach for years, so not sure when I'd return. But I would recommend this spot to people visiting. read more

I was visiting the area for work, and after seeing reviews about this place here on Yelp, had to check it out! It's a no-frills seafood place right on the corner in the main town center. Walked up, ordered food, and they had it out pretty quickly on both my visits. I had the lobster roll (cold) which was AMAZING. My second visit I had the shrimp po boy which also was delicious (the shrimp on it were huge!!!) but the lobster was my favorite. Fries: they give you lots of them and good thing because they are tasty! Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area! read more

Went in the offseason and the service was a mess but also the food was so awful. Ordered a clam strips meal and there were maybe 5-6 pieces of clam and the rest was all breading. Horrendously overpriced for what I got. read more

Great fries and boardwalk grub. I enjoy taking family and friends there to get something to eat on a nice day to stroll the boardwalk. The service has always been friendly. I've never had to wait very long. Looking forward to going back and trying more on the menu read more

This place is SO on the DL. It's also hidden AF. To find it, I first went to the DB's Fries on the corner of Garfield & N. Atlantic and was like... "Yo... where this B, B at? They were like... make a left here and head into the mall. Keep going back, it's under the arcade. I was like... Wait, there's a mall? Wait, there's an arcade? Wait, ... we're currently below an arcade?! Then I just went into the semi outdoor mall joint and started wondering around... like... am I gonna have to ask another person to point this B out? Ya know when you're in a store and ask for directions to the... lets just say... you're looking for "Air fryers" and the sales associate is like "Ok... you'll want to go back towards bedding. Make a left right as you walk to the right, just right as it T's, then make a right, go about 40 paces, face truth north, do a barrel roll somersault to the east, blindfold yourself and hop three times, blindfold off, walk straight, and then you'll see it on your right. So you're like... ok... you walk towards bedding and ask another person in bedding where the hell the Air Fryers are. Haha Anyways... I found it! Great googly moogly! It's a small place. Probably about 4 booths and a few tables. I found this place on Yelp; I was like 21 reviews and 4.5 stars... there's something going on there. And my goodness there was. We ordered the hot lobster roll, the cold lobster roll, and the crab ball appetizer. Both of the lobster rolls, the bread was crucial. Soft luscious bread toasted on the grill with that sort of split top roll sort of look. The lobster was a generous amount in each of the rolls and it was very well cooked. The fries were piled REAL HIGH and they get extra extra points for having vast amounts of Old Bay and malt vinegar right there #SoBeach. The crab balls were like little rolled crab cakes. Generous amounts of crab, little filler, and a real seriously good flavor to the whole... ball. It was quite delicious. Service was friendly! And another set of bonus points for having birch beer! I loves me some birch beer. I was so impressed with the offerings that I just had to thank (what seemed to be the owner) as we left. He was pretty much the only guy in the establishment that was of an age where you would own a business. Most of the workers were pretty young. He made sure to tell me that they make all their food in house. I told him straight up, "You can taste it! You can taste the freshness." Real nice guy. This is definitely a place that I'd love to go back too. I'm a little sad I didn't get to go back before I left the beach. But I'm fairly certain that my mother is currently doing that for me. She enjoyed it just as much. read more

Disgusting. Yep, that about sums up this place. Flies buzzing everywhere (landing on our arms, food, legs, nose - ugh), sticky, dirty tables, dead flies smacked against the backs of the booths, overflowing trash; I get the shivers just thinking about this place and what fly fiestas must be occurring in that kitchen. Overcooked fries, no full claw meat - but rather oddly butchered lobster meat in my butter-soaked roll. The only highlight of my meal was the grilled asparagus, fresh & cooked perfectly. read more

Wanted something quick and fried, saw DB's, prices seemed okay, and decided to try it. Honestly for being quick and decently tasty, it wasn't too bad. Everything was fried and nuked anyway (besides the cole slaw), so what's not to love about fried food? The chicken tenders were just like any other fried chicken tenders (although the ranch was pretty good!) and loved that the fries were made out of fresh potatoes and not the frozen stuff (although I've never met a fry I didn't like). I think the beer battered fish was honestly a surprise on how light and crispy it was, with like a hint of beer. Nice place to grab quick and easy food to take to the beach. read more

I had ordered lobster roll for the first time as a treat for the July 4 weekend and it smelled absolutely phenomenal. I was really disappointed when I bit into a dry, lukewarm lobster roll. Pairing it with the coleslaw helped to increase the flavor of the roll but the coleslaw was also too dry for my liking. The fries were the only thing that I enjoyed at this place and honestly for the price of $23 for all 3, I don't think its worth it. read more

Great lobster rolls! They've been serving the best fries in Bethany Beach for years! Now check out their fresh Seafood market!

This place was a last-minute starving stop we got french fries and fish fried it was a bit too fried for the fish but still ok French fried good we were not offered ketchup just a heads up to ask for it ! read more

Really good food. Full of flavor. The Lobster rolls were tasty. Excellent for the beach, very good overall. The lobster Mac n cheese was unique, large chunks of lobster and decent Mac n cheese. Overall this was a good meal, a bit expensive for the portion size, but wouldn't hesitate to return. read more

I am really surprised that they have a 99/100 health score... The ambience leaves something to be desired. They microwave a lot of the food, which I found weird since the kitchen is open and you can see what's going on. The food wasn't great, but the sweet potato fries are really good. I wouldn't go back. read more

Terrific lobster rolls! Love getting these and sitting on the beach to eat! Will be coming here for years to come!

The cold lobster roll was surprisingly delicious! Packed with lobster, a super tasty bun and served with delicious, crispy fries (5 stars). In contrast the shrimp tacos tasted good but barely had one shrimp each cut into small pieces (3 stars). The place is a little dumpy - maybe just go to their takeout location and eat at the beach. read more

Disappointed based on how much we LOVE DB Fries, the carry-out on the corner. We came in later in the evening, around 8 or so, counter clerk was completely disengaged. Fish tacos are more along the lines of street tacos, small open faced with a strip of fish and a dab of slaw. Pretty slim pickings for $4 each. Also ordered fries and got a small plate reheated nubs, you know, the bottom of the bag odds and ends. We'll stick to the corner DB's where you get hot food piled on top of hot fresh fries. Perhaps it was an end of night thing, but come on, bring your A game always. read more

This place is hidden away in the back of the Town Center Mall. Servers and cook were very pleasant and informative. I ate at a table in the mall area because the restaurant was warm.

Nice, clean, sort of swanky no-frills seafood place in the town center (in the back right corner). I was disappointed they were out of some menu items, but I ended up really enjoying my stuffed flounder (had crab imperial in it), coleslaw, and famous fries. I appreciated how I got to try all the toppings (sea salt, malt vinegar, ketchup, and Old Bay). My boyfriend and I went at 4:30 on a Monday and had no wait dining in. There's only a few tables inside, so don't wait! read more
