Overwhelmed, overpriced, mediocre service and unflavored food/fries. The pina colada was a mislead. Looks nothing like their picture and tasted terrible. read more

This place has changed a lot since the last time I was here. Not sure if the owner/management or cook has changed. Unfortunately, the food quality has gone down hill big time. I ordered the coconut shrimp as my meal. The rice was over cooked and had no flavor. The black beans were ok at best, and they also lacked flavor. Then we get the star of the dish. The coconut shrimp. That's where the disappointment really set in. The shrimp were over cooked and dripping in oil. I can honestly say that I will not be coming back. Please someone fix this place. Please!!! read more

Been here a few times to meet friendssince I live in Bethany full time. Service is consistent .... consistently terrible. Food is below average. The only thing they have is location. Go anywhere else! This is the worst restaurant/bar in all of the Delaware Beach towns. The mangorita, bleh, don't bother with it or any drink here. read more

Had the grilled mani mahi tacos. Excellent! Very flavorful. Service was quick and pleasant, good atmosphere, lightly lit and music was low enough to be able to talk. Def would come again. read more

This place has such poor customer service ! My husband and I came for dinner on Monday night and after waiting 20 mins the girl came back and said sorry there r no tables for two just four!!! Are you kidding me! They would rather turn away business ... that's sad! My husband asked to speak with the manager but I preferred to leave Went down the road to Fenwick Island and got a great dinner at Just hooked!!! read more

Almost didn't come here cause of all the negative reviews.... but I was pleasantly surprised. Nice staff... good food... the kids had fun... solid! read more

Terrible start to finish. Hostess a grump. Nachos - the easiest appetizer ever - burnt, then left to sit until cold and soggy. Caesar salad with chicken presented without dressing. How does that happen? One star for a fun view of the boardwalk and a waiter who was pleasant. read more

I've had two extraordinarily poor experiences here so I feel just in giving Mango Mike's 1 star. The first time, we saw our waiter exactly one time: to take our order. Someone else brought our food and then that was it. No one ever came to check on us, or refill drinks, or give us our check. We waited for at least 30 minutes after eating and then finally just plopped some money down and left. That is the first and only time I've ever had to do that. The second time I ordered a drink which their menu stated was $6.95. Once we got our bill my drink was listed as $11. I brought it to our waiters' attention and he very politely said he would check on it. He came back and said that his manager wouldn't change the price because the drink is $11. I laughed, showed him the menu and said "well your menu seems to feel it's $6.95". After some back and forth he asked me if I wanted to speak with a manager and I said yes. Finally the manager comes out, very angrily presents me with an updated receipt and says "We'll make the change this one time but don't come back expecting us to do it again! This is an $11 drink; always has been." I wasn't trying to pull a fast one, but I was treated as if I was manipulating the system, like someone who shows up to happy hour for some free food but doesn't drink anything but water. I'm in Bethany every year and I will never ever come back here, even if the view is good. read more

Ate at Mikes on 7/7. Fine food, fine drinks but great view of the boardwalk! Definitely turned off by the hostesses. Maybe we caught them on a bad day, but they were decidedly unpleasant. Our server who I believe was named Brenda was lovely. Helpful, attentive and charming. She was great with the kids at our table. Made the meal. Another plus? Primo air conditioning. read more

The mahi mahi tacos were delicious! My girlfriend had the crab cake sandwich with french fries and said it was good. The jerk wings were tasty. The caesar salad with jerk chicken was good but the chicken was slightly overcooked. We would definitely come back again the next time we are at Bethany Beach. read more

Mango's - Caribbean Near Me - Bethany Beach, Delaware

OK, someone has *got* to explain to me why Mango's is supposed to be such a "treat". We have friends who have a house down in Bethany, and each time we come, they always drag us to Mango's. While I never have a *bad* time, I never understood why everyone makes such a big fuss about coming here. The drinks: decent. Most of the mixed drink specialties (that are served in novelty containers that you get to keep) taste like they were made from a mix and is always cloyingly sweet. However, if you go off the tropical drinks menu and order normal beverages, it's much better. The food: mediocre. They have the usual beach restaurant fare, like something crusted mahi, and the like. I've always found the food a little bland, but nothing terrible or unedible. The service: slow. I think the best service I've gotten was when I sit the bar. Which is generally always busy/packed. Yes, busy bar service is better than the table service. Ponder that for a minute. Basically...it's just a run of the mill restaurant. The view from the upper level is pretty good, but if you're here during the busy season, good luck trying to get a table outside. I did give this place a one star bump because the last time we were here, our friends and my husband got hit on by a bunch of cougars. Like, they were on the prowl and they weren't letting go of their prey. Heh. I know that I could have probably helped the boys out...but instead, the girls and I grabbed our bags, hopped in the car, and went back to the house...leaving the boys to the mercy of half a dozen drunk and horny cougars. Heh. I'm an *awesome* wife. read more

I will start with the good.. Location: As far as Bethany Beach is concerned the location could not be better. It is literally over looking the beach and they offer outdoor seating. The Rolls: There are only a few places that still have good bread..like really good homemade bread, that are not upper level restaurants. I got so full off of them I almost burst. The Bad The Food: I was with a group of 15 and I will say that some LOVED their food and some HATED it. Three of us ordered the Coconut Shrimp and Jerk Chicken (Which is a quarter leg piece) combo and we ALL disliked the chicken. It was dry, the seasoning was weird, etc etc etc. I tried to trade it for the jerk wings because the hot wings we had as an app were great. Me being dissatisfied with the meal meant nothing..lol. I was told "they are not going to do that". I guess I am spoiled. I worked in food service and our GM and the rest of the management team did whatever was needed to make sure someone left satisfied with their meal...even if it meant replacing the meal with something else or comping the entire meal and this was Olive Garden. Well...this ain't Olive Garden and I definitely wasn't family..lol. Most of the apps that we ordered were good, like Apple Bee's quality good. The Spinach Dip is watery. The Coconut Shrimp coating is rubbery and lacking crunch but the hot wings are good! I should have got the scallops :-(, one of the people in our party said they were good. My dish was 20 bucks but I've had five dollar fast food meals that were better :-(. The Service: She was really nice however, she was hard to catch and by the time she got to our table after her co-workers brought the food out the things that were needed like more bread, water, ketchup, ect were almost mute since the meal was almost over. Again, no one is expecting 4 to 5 star service but just basic . read more

Come to Mango Mike's only because it's the only bar that fits a bunch of sandy beach bums in it comfortably, and because they offer a Happy Hour with a few drinks and beers as well as half-priced food to soak up the alcohol. Don't expect your tastebuds to be dazzled, though - I guarantee a 12-year-old could make better nachos, and the chicken fingers were barely edible. Tuna tartar was the only worthwhile food option we tried. The Mangorita tastes like it came out of a container and like it's loaded with high fructose corn syrup and other artificial non-foods. The John Daly is easy enough to push down, although not entirely enjoyable. This is a good place to watch games. Happy hour ONLY applies to the bar area - don't bother trying to negotiate this. read more

The atmosphere of this restaurant is phenomenal. The bright colors and windows overlooking the beach/ocean give this place a "vacation" feel. The server was very good. He was attentive, timely, and able to answer all of the questions I had about the menu. The food was also very good. I recommend the "Shell Bowl" for those who like seafood. It was all cooked well and sampled multiple seafoods such as shrimp, clams, mussels, and scallops. The menu is expensive, but it is worth it! I come here every summer when I go on vacation and wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone visiting Bethany Beach! read more

I think the lack of options in Bethany is the only reason that Mango's is often busy. Their service is beyond terrible. We went to Mango's for dinner and drinks and there was not hostess so we just say down at a table. Multiple waitresses walked right by us and never acknowledged us. After 10 minutes I asked on of them for our server and she told me I needed to see the hostess. I pointed out that there was no one at the hostess stand and she sighed loudly and told me that she would get someone. Finally a woman came over and informed is that they were now running a late night menu but she didn't know what was on it so she had to go get another server. 30 minutes after walking in the door we placed our order. The drinks took another 10 minutes and the food arrived and was terrible. The quesadillas had way too much cheese and contained no chicken. The chicken fingers were cold and had to be sent back. The wings were undercooked and should have been reported to the department of health. It pained us to even tip the servers because the whole experience was so incredibly awful. Never will I got back to this place. It's conveniently located but that's about it. Stay away! read more

This review is overdue! My boyfriend and I were in Bethany for a weekend getaway and came to Mango's for lunch. We got the bean dip for an app and it was good, but served cold. I wish the menu would have specified that it would be served cold, but I overlooked it because it really was good. Then I had the jerk chicken the boyfriend had the ribs. The flavors and the sauces were delish! We had a few drinks in a souvenir coconut and parrot as well and they were too sugary. Also, the views are stunning! read more

Mango's - Caribbean Near Me - Bethany Beach, Delaware

See all

Mango Mike's is exactly what you'd expect from a Delaware beach side bar/restaurant (great drinks, decent service, and average but overpriced food). If you go in thinking anything else, you'll be disappointed. Right frame of mind? Here we go: 1. Location - the best in Bethany. You're right in the heart of the boardwalk and there is a decent sized patio area of tables with great beach/ocean views. 2. Atmosphere - well themed, Caribbean decor, fish tanks, palm trees, etc. 3. Kids - kid friendly. Lots of high chairs, an elevator to get you and your stroller up, drinks in fish bowls. Standard kids menu items. 4. Happy hour - excellent! It runs from 1-6 (happy 5 hours!) with good discounts on food and drinks... beer was $2.50 a pint, which is exceptionally well priced for the beach. Downside is that it's only at the bar area. 5. Food - average at best. If you stick with the sandwich-type food, you'll be good. Main dishes are way overpriced for what you get. read more

Wonderful beach vibes, with aquariums placed inside. The bartender was helpful and I really loved the chicken quesadilla. Quality vibes

They were busy for a Holiday weekend but was able to sit us right away. The food came out fast. (maybe a little too fast we didn't even finish the appetizers yet). They had very fun drink choices! read more

Great ocean views and fun vibe. We had the jerk chicken wings and thought they were fantastic. Not too spicy but just enough heat. Reasonably priced for the location. Also very fun drinks! read more

This place was awful. My fiancé got the $25 paella which was Mexican rice with a few mussels and clams. And a lot of chicken? Mostly chicken. What? Chicken? Why was there any chicken in this dish OR Mexican rice? It looked absolutely awful and he fed me some from it and it was very bad... I had a burger that wasn't good at all. View was OK. read more

Wow, seems like giving this place three stars is an outstanding review, compared to the other comments. I wonder if the same folks who rated Harpoon Hannah's so poorly also visited Mango Mike's. These are beach restaurants, folks. If you want fancy, visit Manhattan or South Beach. Mango's has the best restaurant views in Bethany Beach. The bar doesn't face the water, but it is raised above the main restaurant on a platform, with ramps leading up to the bar area - it gives the bar a decidedly beachy feel. Every server we encountered was pleasant. We went there for their Thanksgiving buffet (a great deal, $18 per head, all you can eat). The food was cooked in smaller than normal batches (for a buffet), ensuring a fresher quality. In addition to turkey and ham, they had a nicely broiled salmon. And all of the usual Thanksgiving fixins: Sweet potatoes (with marshmallows), red skin mashed potatoes, string beans, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and several different pies to choose from. I've been to the Mango's in Alexandria as well, and the two locations are like oil and water. The Bethany Beach spot is resort-like and family oriented (those looking for a big singles scene are encouraged to visit nearby Ocean City or Dewey Beach). The Alexandria location is meat market deluxe. But both spots do have those parrot drinks, where you can keep the parrot tumbler. One extra half star for that. read more

I loved it here! It's the only place like this in Bethany. My husband and I sat outside on the deck, which overlooked the beach...it was beautiful. It was also at least 20 degrees cooler up there with the breeze than it was walking around town. We had a few beers and shared a nacho app. The nachos were decent, nothing to write home about, but nothing to complain about either. The beer was cold and delicious. While we were there my parents came and met us, they also had drinks and a chicken quesadilla app, they thought it was tasty. Then my brother, sister-in-law and nephew came up. They also ordered drinks. I felt bad for our waitress that we kept adding people and drinks, but she was super sweet and didn't mind at all. She happily accommodated us all. My only complaint (which I can kind of understand their reasoning behind) was that you cannot sit outside on the deck unless you are ordering food. If you only want drinks you have to sit in the bar area inside. That turned me off a little bit, but splitting an app counted as food, so it was all good and we were allowed to sit outside. This is the only reason they don't get 5 stars. read more

Down in Bethany for a long Father's Day weekend. We went to Mango Mike's on Fathers Day for dinner at the spur of the moment - family of four including kids aged 3 and 5. At 6 the place was pretty empty for a Sunday evening. The big plus here is they have the best ocean view for dining in Bethany Beach. Otherwise, this Mango Mike's comes up a bit short. It's not too kid friendly either. The first thing my kids asked when we sat was "where is the coloring page and crayons?" The waitress scrambled and found a couple crayons and a half-sheet of white paper for each child. My wife and I both ordered the Orange Crush, which was dee-lish and quite strong. My wife asked for just a bit of orange juice to weaken the drink (which when the bill came I saw that we were charged $2.50 for a glass of OJ). That comes right off the tip in my book. The menu looks great with lots of choices. The kids menu is the usual - chicken tenders, hot dog, cheeseburger and noodles and butter, all priced around $6. My kids ordered the noodles, which was just a small plate of spaghetti. Add the lemondate, which I also found out when I got the bill was $2.50, and we paid around $9 each for kids to eat plain noodles and drink tap lemonade. We ordered crab and spinach dip which came out right away, but so did our entrees, about 2 minutes later. When I said "wow that was fast, we just got our dip" the waitress didn't pick up on it or didn't acknowledge. We both had pasta-based entrees with seafood that were decent but not worth the $20+ price tag considering the minimal amount of seafood in the bowl. I'd give it 2 1/2 stars vs. the 3. read more

Oh boy, two stars is dead on for this place. Went in one afternoon to take advantage of their mid day specials. After seeing the porch overlooking the ocean we knew this was going to be worth it. Or not. First, mid day specials are only available inside, which robs you of the beautiful view of the ocean. When we told the hostess we wanted to sit outside ,we were told it was for customers ordering food. I've never heard of anything so ridiculous, especially on a Monday afternoon. after a little posturing we finally got seated outside. Our waiter was pretty understanding which ended up being the only reason this place got an extra star. Orange crush is a bust, especially at 7.50. read more

I could have made the pasta in 2 mins at home, no flavor. Very basic. Payingn for the view

Our party of 9 (including two wheelchairs) had a wonderful experience on Memorial Day weekend At Mango's. The service was excellent, the vibe was fun, and the food was incredible from start to finish, in spite of an extremely busy night. With such a large party, we expected a variety of orders, and every member of our party was very satisfied! We enjoyed Mango's last summer as well, and will definitely be making return visits! read more

Came yesterday while on vacation, service and food were ok, drink specials good for a tourist area. Returned today, and waited 30 minutes (no exaggeration). We were never served or approached for service. We ended up leaving and decided to save our money instead. We told the hostess what had happened on our way out. She glanced up from her cell phone to look at the table we had vacated (never looked at anyone in our party directly), and looked back down at her phone without acknowledging us. Not only negligent, but outright rude for no true reason. read more

To our surprise this place was sweet wonderfulness with tasty food & an eclectic and very clean atosphere! I could've stayed in my windowseat watching the beach goers all day!Upon seeing it, I figured it was of the typical beach franchise variety- fair service, focused around drinking with food as an afterthought. HOWEVER-- we were pleasantly, pleased and delighted as the food came out with excellent, attentive service and it was delicious! As for the Caribbean piece, being of Bajan heritage I'll say it is more of a Caribbean Fusion restaurant. Not having traditional recipes from any specific country, but with great options that are definately influenced by all of the islands. Still, very good! There were lots of vegetarian options on the menu. Vegan options were mostly salad that you had to ask for w/o cheese or creamy dressing. Since I don't do dairy ever -I had the Swordfish Tacos, reverting to pescatarian for this meal. I added a side of guacamole which was nice. My appetizer was the Black Bean Hummus & Chips which was a bit bland for my tastes. I added some Cholula hot sauce, which kicked it up beautifully, making it just right. My Mom and Sister shared a paella plate which looked great. I tasted the rice and it had a nice curry flavor. The mussels were the biggest I have ever seen! Needless to say, they nyamed it all up until the last drop! As we completed our amply served dishes, we had no room for dessert. But beforehand, I had the most amazing Virgin Pina Colada ever! It tasted like the handmade ices of my childhood!! Yum!! I will be calling them to get those ingredients. Overall it was a lovely experience that I recommend and will return to again. Next time though, I hope they will add vegan cheese as an option to their nachos and burritos. That would bring it up to 5 stars for me! read more

The food was really bad. The only redeeming factors were the view of the beach and the places music.

Drinks are good but food is spotty. Been here multiple times. Service has always been great tho

Horrible restaurant, never go here. The steak on our first visit was horrible. Bland taste and no flavor, the server was slow, so poor service and experience overall. Our second visit we decided to give it a second chance and tried the nachos. There was nothing good about the nachos. It was just chips and cheese thrown on a plate and thrown in the microwave. Awful experience. The service wasn't too bad this time but the food was nothing special. We will not be returning ever. We hope this review is helpful to others. read more

Not a good idea if you're a tourist! My sister and her girlfriend went while they were in town over the weekend. Because their IDs were out of state, they were refused service and THEIR IDS WERE SNAPPED IN HALF. Both women are over 21 but somehow because management isn't familiar with how Ohio and Nebraska IDs look, they deemed them "fake". Clearly this place is lacking in judgement and logic. Do not go here if you are visiting because you may not end up with an ID to drive/fly home with!! read more

We make sure Mangos is on our to do list every trip to Bethany. Happy hour starts at 1. The specials aren't as good as they used to be, but I'm sure I'm not as good as I used to be either. Get the mangorita, wings, and fish tacos. read more

DON'T FALL FOR THIS TRAP! They draw you in with the view, but trust me, that is all this place has going for it. They use their view to lure people in and literally put zero effort into anything else in the restaurant. It is your average tourist trap. Food is AWFUL. Prices are entirely too high for what you get. Good seats with a view are limited and hard to get. They have a weird reservation process for that, don't get me started. I feel duped. They lure you in with the view, and then make their profit by giving you the cheapest quality food on earth and charge you out the as* for it. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I won't be fooled twice. read more

Come for a good DRINKING time. I can't comment on the food, I've heard it's mediocre. 5 Stars for Henry's Sunset Bar (front bar) from Memorial to Labor Day for the best drinks. It's a beachy bar - so just consider that when you enter. Don't expect fine china and cloth napkins - but come for a good drinking time read more

We had high hopes but were told the wait would be long although many open tables, thankful that we were seated in 10 minutes. The nachos were soaked in salsa and had little cheese.... certainly not worth the 17$ price tag. Outside of the tacos the chicken broccoli pasta was awful. Not coming back sorry to say as the location was great! read more

I had this feeling Mango Mike's was gonna be amazing well, it sorta was. During my vacation to Bethany Beach with the whole family, I tried Mango's twice. The first time, my impression was that they were expensive and the service wasn't very good. The second time, they did much better. I've had the Yellowfin Tuna appetizer which was very delicious but missing something. Also, the CoCoLoCo Shrimp which was amazing and really "wowed" my tastebuds. The second visit I decided to treat myself to a Tiki Shooter which was 2 different rums and fruit juice. It was great and now I find myself wanting more. I would recommend Mango's to anyone who doesn't have small kids, my nephew & niece didn't like the kids meals. They have three choices and one of them being chicken fingers that are a bit spicy even for me. The view is amazing from the dining room, you can also eat outside or at the bar. read more

Where to start with this review? We arrived, a party of 9, for a late lunch around 1:30. We had to wait, which wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but this place was pretty empty. The hostess wasnt paying enough attention so when she came back from what I can only assume was her time getting our table ready, she had already forgotten who we were. We were seated at two tables out together. Again, not out of the ordinary, except they put together two tables of differing height. Uhh, what? My right elbow is two inches higher than my left as I type this out on my iPhone. We waited 20 minutes to place a drink order (which we also tacked on our food since we didn't want to keep waiting). Lets just say that they were out of 2 beers that I tried to order. Thankfully I didn't have to settle on a crappy Bud. When the food arrived, my mom's veggie burger hasn't been put in for the kitchen. My nachos were cold and soggy. The burger was decent. Tuna sandwich was "fine" according to my uncle. I wouldn't come back here even if it was the only open restaurant here. Oh wait, it was pretty much the only open restaurant when I was visiting. read more

Great location overlooking boardwalk. We ate lunch there and had no wait (@ 11:30AM). We were 7 in our group, 5 adults and 2 kids. The food is alright, the service is good. We had crab cake sandwiches (small crabcake on a huge roll), seared tuna sandwiches (good), jamaican jerk sandwich (good), chicken fingers (OK). All in all not a bad meal- just not memorable either. read more
