it all starts with the beer- the pour. your bartenders should be able to pour a nitro without giving me 3-3.5" of head! to put a beer in front of me (I am a bartender), like that sets a bad tone!!!! food was average: hummus wrap was 2% hummus & 80% lettuce But again, at a brewery it begins with the beer!!! I would t go out of my way to return, I'll stick with Dewey or Dogfish! read more

We had an excellent lunch with our visiting family from Philly! Chris, Mgr, happily greeted us upon entry and immediately walked us to our table. It was the perfect seating arrangement for the 8 of us. We shared wings and a pretzel amongst us and beers & orange crushes. I told everyone how good the burgers are and fried chicken. Everyone loves a good burger and they all enjoyed one! The kids shared a burger and chicken tenders. My wife had a excellent chicken salad sandwich Matt was our server and he was absolutely amazingly fantastic!! So attentive to all of us, especially laughing with the kids. He mad the day even better going out with a family of 8 We had a great lunch at OVB, service and food were out of this world We will back soon read more

Great food.Great, warm friendly service from our server drew!! I had they're pulled pork sandwich.Wow, very tasty and loaded with meat Thx, Sonny & Kris read more

This place is gas ! Started with the OVB wings and all three of us devoured the plate pretty quickly. Man they are so freaking good! Two of us ordered off the "daily lunch menu " the Greek salad , with your choice of protein, I got salmon and my brother got Chicken . The vinaigrette salad dressing so complemented this Greek salad and the citrus glazed salmon melted in my mouth . Another friend got the cod sandwich with pickled red cabbage off the menu and she said it was off the hook good. The Ocean View IPA is a light pale ale which is an enjoyable draft that goes down smoothly with citrusy notes ! read more

First time at Ocean View Brewing. I didn't order food so this review is solely based off of the venue, the beer, and the service. The building is beautiful with plenty of parking. It features a nice, big bar with overflow bar seating, plenty of tables, and a wide open kitchen -- which I love. The menu is diverse and there are plenty of unique options to choose from. Tried 4 different beers, two New England Hazy IPAs (Taking Water & Ocean View IPA), Got Waves Kolsch, and a shandy. Beer was great. Loved the NEIPAs. Service was also very good as the bartender was friendly and gave some great recommendations. Would definitely come back next time I'm in the area (vacationing from NJ). read more

Had a quick lunch at this brewery. Had the Kolsch to drink and Old Bay shrimp and grits to eat. The beer was excellent and the shrimp and grits fantastic. Not busy at even for a Friday, but I'm sure that will change as the summer approaches. Bar tender was great and offered good advice on food and drink options. I'll definitely make a return visit to enjoy more of their beer and food options. read more

I'm at Ocean View Brewery in Ocean View having the most amazing salmon on the best potato's I've ever tasted. Also the young man behind the bar named Rob is a total professional. This is the BEST lunch read more

As you can see from my many prior reviews this is one of my top 5 local restaurants located in Ocean View. I was here for lunch with my family of six including two elementary school children on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We were tired of eating Thanksgiving leftovers. We arrived a little before noon and were immediately seated at a large booth #54 to the right of the entrance. I started with my usual pepper creek punch for $11. I also as usual enjoyed my sloppy Joe Dan Dan noodles for $21. Two of my family members also enjoyed the Dan Dan. I took half of my Dan Dan lunch home for dinner. I ended my lunch with the special edition barrel aged porter past 8 baltic porter 10% ABV for $7. The porter is aged in a bourbon barrel for a year. The porter tastes like creme brulee and oak with a slight hint of dark chocolate on the finish. Katie F. served our table very well. My total bill was $179 excluding gratuity. We all agreed we will all return here again. read more

Love this place. It's always a little bit chilly in there but that's ok! The food is so good. Their chicken salad is great. My husband loves the street corn nachos. Fries are equivalent to Thrashers. Great food! read more

The place is great! The beer is good, food was good enough but I added the shrimp to my order and I received 4 tiny overcooked shrimps for $9. That's super expensive! Overall I would go back and I do recommend the place. read more

We were a party of 9 eating in the outside area. Our waitress served 8 of us and then disappeared. We hunted down and spoke to another wait person, and then we went and found the manager, and still had to wait. It was very uncomfortable to have someone in our party for so long not have their meal, and the fact that no workers were helping us was disconcerting. When they finally brought the food they took it off our bill and apologized profusely. Some communication would have gone a long way. read more

Great spot for a family dinner. Easy delicious menu and a good selection of beers. Overall the food was yummy and we didn't wait long for a table. The crab cake sandwich was pretty good and the burrito was a hit with the table. read more

What should be the crown jewel of SODEL restaurants is absolutely the very worst. I have eaten here 4 times now and the food quality has been consistently poor! I'm not sure who is cooking at this restaurant but the ownership group needs to hire someone who knows food! Tonight we had deviled eggs and hummus for an appetizer- Both were so poor, hummus was dry and tasteless and the eggs were barely edible. My wife and I both had the chopped BLT salad and the dressing had absolutely no taste. Chicken parm terrible, grits actually crumbled they were so dry! Again 4 times i've spent considerable money with a bad end result. Just look at the menu it's so disjointed and weird and then to have the food taste so bad is a shame. I want to have a go to local restaurants so bad and it's a shame this place can't be it! To end on a positive note our server Drew D. Was fantastic he is a great waiter! Please SODEL rethink this restaurants menu and give Ocean View the restaurant we need. read more

Delicious food, great service, wonderful atmosphere. We've been 3 or 4 times and were delighted each time. The blackened chicken macaroni and cheese is a favorite! Burgers and tacos great too! read more

At the Ocean View Brewery ambiance and service are wonderful. My review is for food only as I don't drink beer. We were here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon in October. It was fairly quiet with plenty of tables, booths and bar space available. As far as my food, I was less than impressed. Perhaps, I ordered the wrong item, but stay away from the Chicken Cheesesteak. It was very dry, hardly any cheese and came with some sort of ranch-horseradish sauce for dipping. Overall it was a thumbs down. My husbands burrito was much better, but I question the $26 price point for a burrito that comes with absolutely no sides. For drinks we ordered the Root Beer, which was really good. Our waiter brought us out refills, which we thought were free. But, were not. So, at $5/glass that quickly added up. read more

Visited Oceanview for dinner while on vacation in Bethany Beach. It was around 6:30 when we arrived and the place was packed. Rather than wait for a table, we were able to score 2 bar seats. The server let us sample a few beers before committing. I really enjoyed their summer ale. Their menu is pretty eclectic. We opted to start with the street corn nachos w/ chili con carne. The nachos were tasty and a very big portion but way too many beans in the chili. Since we were so full from the nachos, we only ordered another snack to share - the pork egg rolls. They were also tasty but a bit oily. If we were to go again, I'd be interested in trying their sloppy joe dandan noodles. It was a fun vibe there and service was good. read more

Just went here on a whim because the Air BnB I stayed at was near. Will definitely go again. The place was packed but was still seated immediately. I got the fried chicken platter and it was delicious. Crispy on the outside, but juicy on the inside. However, what got me the most was the Cole slaw . Couldn't place the flavor at first, but finally figured out it had ginger in it. Would have never thought to do that but I could've eaten a quart of it. read more

Large menu. Many choices. Food is great ! I wish Sodel would put one closer to Rehoboth. OR add menu items to existing restaurants.

Perfectly good but not memorable. Burger (smashed) was fine. Crab cake sandwich was ok but lackluster. Decent fries. Decent cocktails. read more

Service was good. The food was a huge disappointment. This is my fourth and last time there. I had the gnocchi special that sounded so good when I read the description. There were 6 gnocchis, a few mushrooms, vegetables and a ton of butter. My friend ordered the street corn nachos. The presentation was nice (which is more than I can say for the gnocchis), but very bland. I tried, but with so many restaurant options around here, I'm going to have to take this restaurant off my list. read more

We highly recommend, the Stuffed Butternut Squash! it's described as sweet vanilla risotto, spring mix, cranberries,pepitas, maple balsamic vinaigrette. Drop dead melts in your mouth! Please keep it on the menu! read more

With "Brewing" in their name, you might expect the establishment to be dog friendly (as has been my experience), especially in a beach town. However, Ocean View Brewing & its second location, Thompson Island Brewing, both prohibit dogs on their outside patios. Additionally, charging $25 for a burrito is highway robbery. read more

This is the best spot. We ate at on our vacation so far. They look brand new and you will love the shore feel to it. The wait staff was very strong. We had a drink and dinner. I would get the hot dog again. It was very good and the flavors with every bite kept coming. This is a must. read more

The Quality and Preparation of every item on the menu is above reproach! The house beers made right there are the ipidomy of a variety of excellent beers that are the envy of all other Southern Delaware micro brews. The detire Sodel chain of restaurants represents the higher grade of excellent food offerings, and professional service. And the beer ! read more

Great little spot by Bethany Beach (doesn't have an ocean view, it's about a 10 min drive) that is a solid option for beer lovers or anyone who wants a really good burger. Upscale casual vibe, you can dress up or come directly from the beach. The menu is pretty large with most options in the $20-30 range for mains, but a few more affordable options with the burger at $15 (option to add fries for $2 extra). It comes with two smashed patties and a phenomenal sauce. This burger DID NOT DRIP but was also not dry at all. Perfect blend of flavors. I would highly recommend the burger (fries optional, they were very hot which I love but could take or leave them) and the sour beer option, which had hints of strawberry and watermelon. The service was prompt and the waitstaff was very friendly. read more

Ocean View Brewing Company - Burger with fries - New American Near Me - Ocean View, Delaware

Came here on the tail end of vacation for a few brews. Left absolutely blown away. Read some reviews about the burger and decided to order that with bacon and a side of fries ($2 up charge for each) worth it. Also had the Got Waves? kolsch, which won some awards in 2022. The burger was hands down the best I've ever had! 2 smash patties, house sauce, red onion on perfectly toasted buns. The smoked bacon was taking away from the flavor so I removed it about halfway through. Overall the patties were cooked to perfection and they meshed well with the ingredients - this burger is literally a 10/10 no question. Fries were crispy and fresh. The ranch has a hint of thyme but it is good if you like a change of pace. I can also see why the beer has won awards it was amazing. Service and food was amazing, the AC works well so if you are eating inside and get cold easily pack a long sleeve. Will be a go to if hungover or ready for some drinks. Clean modern beach house vibes. read more

My most recent visit to Delaware to visit family has resulted in me encountering quite a few high quality restaurants. And the Ocean View Brewing Company is no exception. My family went for Mothers Day Brunch, so the menu was a little bit different than what you may see on the Lunch or Dinner menu. But I can vouch by what I ordered. For my main dish I ordered the Old Bay Shrimp Carbonara. Excellent. Al dente pasta, perfectly cooked shrimp. A little under-salted, but that is easily remedied to taste. My mother ordered a rather luxurious French Toast with strawberry compote and a creamy topping that had the entire table in an uproar. They also served a rather nice classic bacon and eggs for the most traditionalist of the diners at my table. Service, as I've found at almost all the Beachy locations in Delaware, was extremely attentive. You never had to flag down a server. They were always at you elbow to top off your drink or grab a condiment. Would come again. read more

Ocean View Brewery has been such a super addition to the restaurant scene in Bethany Beach / Ocean View and to our local community! Excellent grub, great brews, and super service! The menu is ever changing because they shop local and serve both seafood and Sussex Co. fried chicken. But my favorite is the Chickpea Hummus app. Soooo good! One of the few places open for lunch, too! Check out their second season specials, if you're a year-rounder or a frequent visitor - they're worth it. Sodel rarely disappoints. Our neighborhood social committee reserved the garden room for a happy hour and it was super. Welcome to the neighborhood OVB! - Let's celebrate with a red ale! read more

Food - fried chicken small in portion (1/2 breast size like white meat pulled out, leg and thigh and wing small size), dried out, cold, mostly breading or skin little protein for the price paid. Fries were served cold The pulled pork sandwich was good. the tempura shrimp were large shrimp which was nice yet the breading wasn't tempura - it was too heavy for tempura. Felt the food was average. read more

This place was super good! We came here for dinner and were really impressed by the quality of food and beverages. The menu is really expansive and has plenty of different craft beers, cocktails, wine and food. We ordered the deviled eggs, chili con carne, wings and the birria burrito. Everything was awesome! My husband ordered a flight of beers and loved all of them. Service was super friendly and fast and our waitress gave us lots of great recommendations. They also have really good specials during the week, so I can see why this place is packed! Definitely looking forward to coming back. read more

I was hoping for an actual "ocean view" but no, "Ocean View" is the name of this town that is a mile or three west of Bethany Beach. It was a busy restaurant and brewery and I was fortunate to at least get a stool against the window to enjoy a delicious beer. Food looked great, the beer was tasty, and they have an organized system for queueing for a table. I opted not to wait 50 minutes and headed onwards after my beer was dry.
