    My happy hour NESK chicken
    Tony J.

    As you can see from my past 7 reviews this is one of my top 10 favorites for happy hour. I was here with my family of seven on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day. Jonathan seated us at a table for seven near the bar. I started with my usual two happy hour pineapple martinis. I enjoyed my blackened smash burger with fries. I also enjoyed my bold, dry, and roasty Baby Bob stout draft beer. Bartender Conner also stopped by to say hello. My total bill was $212 excluding gratuity. Hannah T. served us very well. We will continue to return here for happy hour.

    LOBSTER MAC & CHEESE!  Delicious!
    Alexander R.

    After a very long drive up to Delaware yesterday we stopped in for dinner at the Northeast Seafood Kitchen. The place was packed and we would have had to wait about 30 minutes so we decided to eat outside. They had a covered patio with umbrellas on the side tables. It had stopped raining so we took a seat under the umbrellas. Once seated we enjoyed some delicious steamed clams with some lemon butter sauce that was outstanding. Unfortunately it started raining and we were still eating, we braved the weather and got soaked! But we enjoyed every minute of it anyway. The food was really good and the service was excellent, as the staff braved the weather to come out and serve us anyway. They had to walk through the rain to bring us our food, and they did it with a smile. Unfortunately the rain came down so hard the patio started to flood, we didn't care it was so warm out we stayed anyway. Lol! We had a blast!

    Very nice patio seating and quality service. Smash burger and appetizers were the best thing on the menu. Seafood was slightly overpriced for the quality of the meal.

    Lobster Roll
    Jamie F.

    I'll start off by saying this is a beautiful restaurant inside, but for the price we paid for our lobster roll (very sad) burnt bun & hardly any lobster plus bland. Our friends got the chicken dish, wish looked more appetizing but odd being it's a seafood restaurant. We also got the crab dip which why it's served with chips, I've always had dip with bread so I did ask our server for some and they kindly brought it out. It was mostly cream cheese and hardly any crab again disappointed since our friends hyped this place up for seafood. I wish I would of taken more pictures but I was overall disappointed especially when you pay $43 for a lobster roll and it comes burnt and lacking meat. I've had better lobster rolls and for half the price. I don't know that I'd try this place again if I was in the area.

    Fish and chips to the right of our son and buttered pasta enjoyed by both kids. Plenty to share!

    I initially thought we were at the wrong place since the restaurant is located in a shopping center. I was pleasantly surprised by the overall decor and the ambiance from the moment we walked in. The whole team - from hosts, servers, kitchen crew - genuinely warm, friendly and inviting. Our family enjoy having meals together. The kids can get loud and excited. We do our best at dining out during odd hours or eating further from the general guests to ensure we all have a pleasant meal. With that said, the team provided our family with such a great time! They were gracious in providing us with free app since our server was late in taking our order. TBH, we did not even notice since we were just enjoying the outdoor seating. The kids were having fun in the open space. We ate the crab dip too quickly to share photos and unfortunately, same excuse for the specials steak my husband ordered. I was able to snap a photo of the buttered pasta. I had the seared halibut which was served still hot and perfectly moist in the middle. Fish can be hard to cook and can sometimes be overcooked that the middle is dry, not this one. We are grateful for the experience. Highly recommend especially for families on vacation.

    Enjoyed a light dinner with fresh fish and cocktails. The meal came with bread and butter along with good service. We sat outside underneath an umbrella on a nice day.

    Great, solid reliable seafood spot with rotating specials. Had the swordfish on my last trip which was excellent. Everyone happy with their food. Plenty of parking. Indoor and outdoor seating.

    Fried Chicken
    Tina M.

    Get there ASAP! My family visited this restaurant during our Family Thanksgiving trip. We wanted a spot to grab a glass of wine and some light bites...OMG did we stumble upon a Gem. Everything and I mean everything was delish. The Mussels, the Fried Fish, the oysters, the Cornbread, the drinks! The bartender was the sweetest and completely awesome. I asked him to fix a drink using the local gin Blue Whale (becasue the bottle was so prettt) and he prepared the most delicious drink I ever had mixed with a rosemary infused syrup and basil cucumber. I told him to name it after me the Whale-Tina. Great experience, great restaurant

    LOBSTER MAC & CHEESE fantastic!!!!

    Very good! Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave some great recommendations. The lobster mac & cheese is one of the best ever.

The highlights (and lowlights): The service was awful: We arrived at 5:17 and were seated at 5:22. Drinks took 26 minutes to deliver and the order was wrong. My FiL clearly asked for a Pinot Grigio, but a Sangria was delivered. Cody, the server*, politely repeated that he ordered the Sangria, but that did not happen (my FiL drinks only dry wines). We waited to toast my in-laws anniversary, but had to wait another 7-8 minutes for the correct glass of wine to be delivered. There is no attention to detail in the dining room. The staff are on island time. The first appetizer arrived at 6:08--46 minutes after we sat down! At 6:20, I bussed our table. (After dinner, I bussed our table a second time). Even trying to pay the check Cody was MIA. He came by the table perhaps six times from 5:22-6:45. *There seems to be a lot of summer hires here--folks that want to hang out at the beach, but need to work to pay the rent. The training has be to incredibly minimal. I would guess no family meal, no 5-minute daily wine pairing rundown...basically no front of the house training. When the customer has to stack dirty plates and get a busboy's attention to grab them TWICE...not good, especially for the prices at Off the Hook. The food was quite hit or miss. The good: the crab bisque was excellent...really amazing! The scallop appetizer was also delicious with a base of grits and bacon underneath. However... The bad: we wanted to share the scallop appetizer and asked Cody how many scallops came with that. He said "three". The app was delivered with TWO scallops (Yes...TWO scallops for $19). They were not huge scallops...so 16/20 count. Wholesale, $18 a pound, less than a dollar each. To charge $19 for an appetizer with TWO scallops? Wow! The dish cost perhaps $3.25. A bottle of wine that retails for $15 is $30 in a restaurant. I get it, but marking up TWO scallops with some grits to $19 is insane. I asked the manager about the missing scallop. He advised that the entree came with three scallops--the app two. The entree was $39!! $39 for three scallops! If these were U/8 or U/15 scallops, I maybe could see it, but two 16/20 scallops for $19 and three for $39 is nuts. The pappardelle (appetizer portion) was completely flavorless. It was not cooked with any salt and pepper. It tasted like buttered noodles you find on a kid's menu. Adding salt and pepper (at the table) did little to fix it. My wife's pappardelle entree was equally bland. She tried mine; I tried hers. She looked right at me and said "There is no seasoning on this!". My thought exactly. My FiL had the salmon. He reported that it was tasty. While it was cooked well, $35 for an approximately 5 oz portion is again nuts. As a local, I really wanted to enjoy this meal. It was an anniversary dinner for my in-laws. $260 for four people with bad service and hit-or-miss food and the portions described is not good. I'm not a tourist. Lastly, I cannot forget to mention the FLIES. This is an INSIDE, white tablecloth dining establishment with $30-40 entrees, NOT a beachfront bar. 3-4 houseflies, accompanied by a gnat, joined us for dinner. Crazy. Bethany Beach, Delaware has limited options for dining and cars lined up 100 deep on the main road into town. This can be the only explanation for Off the Hook being so busy, so often. Tourists from NYC and Philadelphia don't bat an eye at paying $39 for three scallops. I don't know what other explanation makes sense.

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.
