    Lobster roll with fries and coleslaw
    Nina Z.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Scallops, fries, fried shrimp, crab cake, coleslaw

    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.

    The lobster roll and fries was awesome!!!

    Awesome food. I need to go back, the service was excellent along with the atmosphere as well. Will take my fiancé with me this time.

    Lobster Roll - Hot/Buttered
    Jessica D.

    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.

    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!

    This spot is worth the stop and the wait. I got lobster rolls and they were so delicious and the fries were perfect. Highly recommend coming here if you are in the area.

    Clam strips (mostly breading though)

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.

We came back tonight determined to try their food. We came in with two groups eating and waited to be seated for about 4 minutes before someone came to seat us. Felt odd for the wait but it appeared there were only two people to begin with. Upon being seated, we were served water which is what we wanted and we placed our order. I loved the fish cutouts they had on the wall next to us. Took about 10-15 minutes for our food. We started with the pizza and it was exactly what we wanted. Simple but the flavors were there! Pesto, garlic and the mozzarella cheese that pulled apart string style! Maybe could have been a crispier crust but I was happy to have all those components hit the mark. We dug into the pasta and OH MY GOSH!!! Again, the simplicity of this dish with perfectly balanced flavors. The basil and the garlic on point! Oh and the sauce, light and a refreshing hit with lemon. Shrimp and scallops not over cooked. I kid you not, I would have licked this plate clean if my husband wasn't with me! I cannot fathom why we were the only ones in this restaurant because both dishes were delicious!!! Thank you so much for feeding our seafood cravings. WE WILL BE BACK! Only sad that we found it our last night here. Do yourself a favor, please support this restaurant. This has been added to our MUST GO TO places while visiting.

They answered all my questions when I was trying to decide what kind of martini I wanted. We also tried the burnt pork belly special, which was really good. I just wish there were a few more pieces that were actually "burnt" or crispy because that's what I was looking forward to. Still, I would definitely order it again! The food overall was amazing. They had TVs playing and a DJ, but it wasn't overly loud, so we could still comfortably talk and enjoy our meal. The atmosphere was fun and lively without being overwhelming.
