Outstanding seafood. Customer service is excellent. We visit whenever we are in the Millville area. They also give Veterans a discount! The ambiance is excellent. read more

As one of our top 10 favorite spots for happy hour, lunch, or dinner, we have visited this restaurant many times before. Today, we returned with our family for dinner and, since it was a beautiful day, we chose to sit outside on the patio. I decided to try the made-to-order white oyster stew, which features six whole oysters and follows one of Baltimore's oldest recipes, for $12.50. It was unlike any oyster stew I have ever had, but since I actually prefer my oysters raw rather than cooked in a stew, I doubt I would order it a second time. Louise provided us with excellent service throughout the evening. My total bill came to $, excluding gratuity, and I covered it using a gift card. We will definitely be back again for lunch, dinner, or happy hour. read more

My son and I went to Bethany Beach early July for vacation. We rented a condo at Sea Colony. It was a nice community. Fins was part of the marketplace and close to our location. We decided to stop one evening for a late night dinner. I ordered the fish sandwich and my son ordered fish tacos. OMG...the fish was so good, it was fried to perfection, light, crispy, fresh, and flaky. It was extraordinarily good. My son also felt the same way. We both had nothing but good things to say about our meal. The waitress was also very kind...(sorry, I forgot her name). Overall the experience was great, I do recommend and I will be returning. read more

The fish and chips was awesome. We ordered fried shrimps as well. I like the beer and the outdoor sitting. Although the restaurant was quite packed the staff were quite handling all the customers. read more

We stopped in for dinner after a shopping trip. Conveniently located right on the main road. The restaurant was hussling with a big trivia night. We were sat immediately, and enjoyed oysters. Dinner and cocktails were delicious. Our server was fairly new I believe, and went above and beyond to be accommodating. read more

Great drinks, food and service. But for God's sake buy some AC. It's warm in there every time we go for the last couple years. It was about 80 in there tonight. read more

Two stars for two seats at the bar that you'll never get. Two stars for two stale beers and two stars for the two bartenders that need to be more aware of keeping the flow of patrons going. Many guests waiting for seats while folks are waiting for their checks. So bad, had to leave. Won't be going back. Go to the Selbyville location where they get it right. Fail!!! read more

Overall enjoyable experience . Staff was friendly and food came out hot . Wings , salmon , and stuffed flounder were all solid

What a great start to our mini vacation! The food was delicious, the tacos were just the write amount and delish! My husband tried the raw oysters and he said he should've had the 12 piece. So good' my boys had a hamburger and fried shrimp entree, they loved it! The server was spunky and so nice! The atmosphere was calm and relaxed. We really enjoyed our dinner for the our first night at Bethany beach. read more

I'd recommend a visit to this place. We had the steamer - oysters, mussels, clams and shrimp- it was really good! The oysters were a little sandy but it wasn't bad. My husband had the tuna sandwich and said it was exceptional. We sat outside in the large outdoor area, it was very peaceful for lunch. The server was really nice. I'd definitely come back to try more food read more

First visit to Fins with our family of four. Plenty of seating indoor and out. Casual setting with oyster bar seating. Arrived early enough not to have a wait. Ordered steamed shrimp, wings, filet, pork shops and kids pasta. Food took longer than expected, but came out hot, great portions and tasty. Our family cleaned our plates. Excellent service. Would come back! read more

We had been to their Northern location a couple years back. Today was lunch. The drunken chicken sandwich was great as was my grouper sandwich. The pumpkin beer was also really great. Maybe a little high for two sandwiches but they were excellent. read more

My wife and I have came here for happy hour several times and always have decently sized oysters and decent drinks, granted the happy hour price makes up for it. The steamed shrimp is cooked well so that the shells don't stick to the meat when peeling them. I did like the fry on the fish and chips, despite only getting 2 middle sized pieces of fish with the order, it was still pretty good. The bartenders are always friendly when we have came in. read more

Very solid dinner. Clam chowder and seafood skins were outstanding. Seafood bake was very good too.

We have always enjoyed this restaurant when we come for several consecutive days 4-5 times a year. Last evening, though (9-16-25) we were surprised and disappointed. Our server was great, and the restaurant was humming pleasantly. We had Chincoteague oysters first. Delicious, of course. We ordered grilled rockfish, with mashed garlic potatoes and asparagus. The asparagus was undercooked.The main problem was the rockfish. It was dry and way overcooked. The overly-thick lemony sauce did nothing to alleviate the problem. Being an Eastern Shore native, I grew up loving our local fish. This serving was tough, dry, and stiff as plywood. Next time, if we return to Fins, we'll ask if the filet can be sautéed. read more

I would give this place a solid 3-3.5 stars. We were seated promptly outside which had a nice ambiance to it. Our server was great! She was attentive, helpful when asked questions, and very kind. The food was a little subpar for my expectations. The crab cakes were just okay, but I have had much better (especially for being at the beach). The side dishes were not good (and most people at the table agreed regarding their sides). The mac and cheese and garlic mashed potatoes had zero flavor. The mashed potatoes reminded me of high school lunch mashed potatoes lol. Overall, the service and ambiance were great but the food was just okay. I think this would be a great spot for drinks and possibly appetizers. read more

The Fins Ale House and raw bar in Bethany Beach has great food. We tried the Fried Avocado stuffed with Shrimp salad and it was great. It came with some greens and topped with Sriracha Aioli that boosted the flavors. The Ahi Tuna Sandwich was a good portion and very flavorful, the side of Asparagus was good, and my husband's sweet potato fries were good too. The Brownie Sundae was a good size, it came with Ice cream & whipped cream, and was tasty. The service was great and the restaurant booths were nice and private. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

My family and I had a wonderful dinner at Fins. They accommodated our party of 10 and service was great. The kids menu was perfect for the little ones. Everyone was happy with their meals. I got the Cioppino and it was delicious. Seafood was really fresh and the broth was so good! If you're staying in Sea Colony, taking the team up was easy. read more

We went to Fins last Saturday as we enjoyed the food in the past. my wife orders crab soup which was fair along with her salad, I ordered a salad & added some fish protein. Our friends ordered fish tacos & a seafood bowel both liked the food. When the bill came they charged me an extra $25 for the fish plus the salad, the server never explained the heavy up charge where most restaurants say to add a protein is $8-10 up charge which is fine. We asked to speak with the manager who was rude then totally screwed up the payment. Another manager came over to try & straighten the billing out which took over an hour to fix things. Now 2 days later 1 of our friends is being charged again for their full share of their bill which was paid already & I'm now being charged again a total different amt then which I signed the credit slip I'm calling the credit card company to dispute STAY AWAY from this restaurant read more

We ate here last night for the first time. The food came out hot and everything was delicious! There's plenty of outdoor seating too. The service was fast and friendly. It's a great place for family or to have dinner with friends. The TVs had sports games playing too and there's a bar in there to chill at. read more

Maryland on vacation. I ordered the flounder fish and i had it fried, my husband had the seafood pasta. Both dishes were just okay! Our food was very bland in taste. I had to add seasoning to my fish and my side were okay as well (whipped garlic mashed potatoes) and salad(cesar). my husband dish was very bland - the seafood was fresh! Wishing it had more favor. Atmosphere and service was great! read more

INCREDIBLE!!!!! First let me say that I had the BEST espresso martini in my ENTIRE LIFE here!!! I usually only have one drink at dinner, if that, but tonight I had two - and I wish I had a third! If you go here for dinner, you MUST get the espresso martini!!! Ok, now to the food, which was the reason for our visit. We came on a Thursday, which is crab cake night. I ordered the crab stuffed lobster and my husband ordered the crabcakes. Both dishes were absolutely amazing. No fillers in the crab meat and the lobster was cooked to perfection. Our server was friendly and service was fast. If I could eat here every night, I absolutely would. This is an absolute must visit restaurant in Bethany Beach!!! ...and don't forget that espresso martini!!! As for me, I will be dreaming about that meal for many nights to come . read more

Three out of four ate the oyster stew. The same three got sick. I've never had oyster stew before, but I've had stew. Stew usually has much less liquid and large cuts of meat and veggies. This was a creamy liquid, small slivers of onion and celery and some oysters at the bottom. The allergy menu was confusing and used a tiny and unreadable font for those over 60. Their orange crush was the best that I tasted on the beach. It is delicious! I had two. Paula, was our waitress. Her wonderful personality saved our evening. Keep Paula and the organe crush. Don't eat here... read more

Great overall restaurant to splurge on during vacation! The prices seem more expensive then usual, but it's probably because of tourism upricing. Everything we ordered was pretty tasty, and I would recommend this place to others coming to Bethany. Nothing blew me away, but I especially appreciated the size of the scallops in the paella. Service was normal, but we went for an early dinner. I can see this place getting busy during the rush hours, so plan accordingly! read more

We go there all the time. We usually have such great meals . Fish was dry n the rice tasted funny. Broccoli was okay * Rice tasted like it was bad.I was afraid to eat it. I told the waitress to take it away and She said I'll check into it .But she never offered a replacement side .. She only returned and happily gave us our bill. Will I go back maybe. Did I not tip her well ? Yes I still tipped well because it's not her fault the meal was not good. Hope things turn around with their food. We usually go there most weekends .

We go to Fins every year because in the past it has been excellent. This year it took a nosedive. The place reeked of a very strong fishy stench upon entering, which should have stopped us from even going one step further. We were seated quickly, but the rest of the service was terrible - extremely slow throughout our entire dinner and we rarely of ever saw our waitress. What I didn't realize until afterward was that some of our party had a view of the windows and a shelf behind us and said it was a thick layer of dirt, dust, and dead flies! Every surface from the floors, to the tables, to even the menus (!) were all sticky and it all felt and looked dirty. The food... some arrived faster than others. Some items had HUGE portions, some items were very tiny! Many things were poorly cooked and flavorless, other items were majorly overcooked. We reported some problems, watched the waitress tell the manager, and saw them both laughing in the back. No changes were made, nothing was done to alleviate the problems,nothing was removed off of the bill. Long story, short, we will never be going back. Such a shame to see a former great restaurant fall into such a mess in every possible way. read more

I highly recommend FINS at Bethany Beach, the quality of the was top notch, the service was timely, courteous and there was no rush by our server. Finally, we sat outside which was most pleasant. Food was all very tasty and nicely presented! read more

Good food options and happy hour deals. We were able to get a seat without a reservation on Football Sunday. I got the seafood chowder and chicken machos, and they were both tasty. Would come back if I were in the area again. read more

Good food, good service, relaxing atmosphere for a late lunch in January. I had buffalo brussels sprouts, which were perfectly cooked and flavorful with buffalo sauce and blue cheese crumbles. I also had a simple salad with greens, cranberries, goat cheese and the most delicious dressing. I kept faving about it as I ate. The other had grits and oysters, ate them all, proclaimed them good. Recommend. read more
