Patsy's Restaurant - Pork teriyaki - Seafood Near Me - Bethany Beach, Delaware

Food Experience We ordered the tuna poke, flash‑fried whole red snapper, salad with grilled shrimp, and coconut cream pie. Each dish was excellent -- fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The coconut cream pie was a standout dessert, and the seafood dishes were cooked perfectly. Atmosphere We sat at the back of the outside patio, which was pleasant in terms of seating and ambiance. However, the location had some drawbacks: The dumpster was directly behind us, and the smell carried into the dining area. Flies were present on the patio, and it seemed likely they were attracted by the dumpster rather than the breeze. 14 Global, the neighboring restaurant, had a cook who frequently exited the side door next to our table to smoke. The cigarette smoke drifted into our eating area, only 5-10 feet away. Overall Impression While the food was outstanding and the patio seating had potential, the environmental factors significantly detracted from the experience. The proximity to the dumpster and cigarette smoke made the meal less enjoyable. Recommendation I would not discourage anyone from visiting Patsy's -- the food is worth it. However, I would caution diners about the back patio seating, as the location near the dumpster and neighboring restaurant's smoking area can affect the overall dining experience. read more

Delicious food, cute spot, friendly hostess. Whatever you do, save room for the house-made desserts. We were told they're made personally by the owner and they were perfection! read more

3.5 stars. Food was delivered fresh and hot, but we found most items lacking just a bit. We had an app special of a local Bennett peach grilled, stuffed with goat cheese and a slice of prosciutto. I thought the cheese overwhelmed the peach because I couldn't really taste it. Interesting combination though. Conch fritters and ceviche were good. A rare tuna entree featured tuna that was stringy/sinewy but had good flavor. Our entrees of catfish and halibut desperately needed salt. (Patsy's doesn't provide S&P on the tables.) A lemon ginger martini needed to be strained - after a few sips I got tired of chewing on all the ginger chunks. Our lemondrop and espresso martinis were good. Server was friendly but had a hacking cough. The place is cute with a Key West vibe but got pretty noisy after a little while. The menu had just enough interesting entrees that we might return. read more

Heard the place was really y good so couldn't wait to go there what a disappointment it was ,took forever to get seated then when we did server didn't come after 15 minutes we got up and left , maybe hometown favorite but definitely somewhere I wouldn't go again read more

You must make a reservation! The service was great. The bar had two specials going on. Tables are kind of tight outside but bearable. It's very cute inside, but you definitely want to request to sit outside. Our server was very knowledgeable. Wasn't aware that it was four dollars for the bread, but I recommend getting it. I come here every summer and the dishes never disappoint. I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes to start off with!! read more

I took my grand daughter to my favorite Bethany Beach restaurant last Saturday. We had the grilled peaches, and roasted crab soup, scallops on coconut rice and the lamb steak. Then we enjoyed the peach cobbler and took a piece of the famous chocolate ganache cake home. Peter's attentive service was as wonderful as usual! We enjoyed our seating on the outdoor porch since the weather was a bit cooler. It's always a treat to return each summer! read more

I went to Patsy's and I wasn't sure what to expect; the place is small and quaint but the service is outstanding and the food is great! Start with their fresh bread, they give you olive oil and butter; so up to you! We had the halibut and the poke; the halibut was fresh and cooked to perfection and the poke tuna was fresh and delicious with crunchy slaw. If you haven't been to Patsy's I recommend you give it a try and enjoy it! read more

I visited with 3 friends last night. The food was excellent. We had the tuna special, crab cakes and shrimp & grits. Lisa, our server, was extremely helpful with explaining the specials and making food and drink recommendations. We had the passion fruit margarita and homemade red sangria. She hustled the entire time we were there. Food and drinks were served quickly and everything was great. Enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant, especially the blanket on the chair at the tables by the window. Go check this place out! read more

Patsys is a popular restaurant and deservedly so. They serve fresh, delicious, interesting items and are located not far from the center of the strip. Service is fun and friendly and the ambience is relaxed. My wife and I had crab soup, pumpkin soup, Key West salad, and the tuna entrée. Everything was delicious. They also had a delicious cocktail that included Woodford reserve bourbon and ginger. Prices definitely fall into what I would call the 'fancy' category but worth it for a special night out. From here you are a quick walk to the beach. Recommend to make reservations during high season. read more

Went to Patsy's at Bethany beach on a recommendation from a friend. It is in a charming beach house with easy parking and in very walkable area. Height of the season so had a reservation- thank goodness! The menu was varied, food DELICIOUS, staff friendly & professional & working hard! Lisa Valle, the manager was very present and attentive- checked on customers, helped serve, and never stopped moving! We were not rushed, even though there were people waiting. It was a fun evening, casual and delicious. I would highly recommend Patsy's and plan on returning next time in town! read more

Hostess was the rudest person I've experienced in a long time. Will probably never be back. Bartender Tim was outstanding. 10/10.

Have been to Patsy's several times across multiple seasons and it is absolutely one of our favorite places to eat in Sussex County! Creative and delicious appetizer, entree and dessert selections, inventive and attractively presented drinks, outgoing and friendly staff...the entire dining experience is first class! read more

We had lovely meals at Patsy's tonight. The corn & crab chowder was very good. The crab cake entree was excellent. The shrimp and grits were delicious and the best we've had in Delaware, and the coconut cream pie came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Heather made great recommendations and is delightful. We will definitely be back! We saw the bartender pitching in at tables when a large group came in. The enclosed porch seating is nice and much more quiet than inside. We'll try it next time. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and look forward to the next one at Patsy's! read more

Had high hopes but sadly came away very disappointed. Conk fritters were extremely gummy. Cuban pork had great flavor but the rice, plantains, and beans were very bland. Soft shell crabs were greasy, cabbage was ok, way too much red peppers in the corn and bean salad. Extremely expensive for this quality of food. Won't be back. read more

We have tried for years to get into Patsy's for dinner, and finally made it last night. It was WELL worth the wait and then some! We had the most amazing dinner and will definitely be back, it's our new favorite place in Bethany :) We started with the grilled Bennett peach appetizer which was a wonderful beginning! The flavor combinations in this dish were perfectly balanced as were the textures. Then we spilt the key west salad - delicious combination and perfectly dressed. My husband had the halibut and said it was the best he has ever had- and he has had plenty of halibut. I had the soft shells - also the best I've ever had. I stop looking at a menu when there are soft shells, so to say they were the best is quite laudable! Then we had the coconut cream pie for dessert which was absolutely delectable. Seriously I would go back just to grab another slice of that pie! The cocktails were fabulous - I had the ginger lemon martini and my husband had the jalapeño margarita. We are looking forward to coming back in very soon for another phenomenal dining experience! The wait staff was terrific also. We would say Patsy's was an 11/10 - thank you Patsy's hope to get back in soon. We would love to sit out on the porch next time and enjoy :) read more

Food always so good. A must dinner destination every time we're in Bethany Beach. Service is superb.

Amazing fine dining experience on the beach. There are very few table, so I would definitely recommend a reservation to get a taste of their fabulous seafood and drinks. The portions were large, seafood was fresh, and the service was great. I would definitely recommend this spot if you are in the Bethany beach area. read more

Food was average and overpriced. Could not believe they charged $3 per martini for blue cheese stuffed olives. We will not go back.

20 year Bethany native checking in here... Having tried mostly everything in town and the surrounding area, my advice on Patsy's is treat yourself! Usually when we find a place we love we keep it a secret, however Patsy's is special deserves praise. Although the patio is adorable, would recommend sitting at the inside bar (tiny, 4 stools) and enjoying a fabulous evening with Tim, who will guide you through the best of the extensive menu and cocktail list! Our service at Patsy's was exceptional (talented professionals with practice based recommendations on pairings and what to order and when) as compared to some of the other shops in town. You can tell the staff cares deeply about the reputation of the restaurant. The food was excellent, very fresh with a unique style and the cocktails were the best we've had recently. Special thanks to Tim who was educational and entertaining, we loved our time at the bar with you! read more

Amazing food & quaint ambiance. This is a cannot miss in Bethany beach. What to get: - scallops - cooked perfectly with a mango spicy salsa l. I'm usually not a fan of sweet and scallops, but the spice perfectly balanced it - Crabcakes - best I've ever had. They are flavorful, moist, yet still held together really well - crab & corn chowder - absolutely epic - crazy crab sandwich - I was unsure about this at first but it is the perfect balance of Crisby, sweet, salty. Lastly, I've noticed that the same staff comes back year and year again, which is always a positive sign. I wish I could eat here everyday. Make sure you make a reservation and specify if you want outdoor seating read more

Great atmosphere outside on patio! Good food and great waitress! Will definitely go back read more

Best dinner of the vacation week. All food for 6 adults was delicious and well served. Outside in covered seating so very comfortable and therefore not loud. Will definitely go back. Nicely priced too. read more

Patsy's is the gem of Bethany. Honest food! Great staff. The service is always the best. It can get busy with the summer crowd! And some get antsy due to the wait. But the wait is worth it! The double crab blt is amazing! They have "new items" that are worth a try! And their steadfast menu is always consistent and delicious. It is a well run and friendly restaurant read more

Favorite place in Bethany by far! Top notch service by wonderful staff! Lisa V island the whole team are wonderful and make you feel at home with old friends. The menu has so many interesting options you need to dine multiple times and sample them all. Food really is fantastic and if you can, ask to be seated on the cozy porch! read more

Incredible! Return visit... we screwed up the dates on reservation and they made it work. Fantastic service- food was incredible. Dino rib perfection size cracked us up... Flintstones!!! Salmon, steak & scallops... we all raved about our entrees. Beautiful day & table. Calamari appetizer also perfectly done. Highly recommended. read more

Patsy's Restaurant is a wonderful place to dine! Over 8 times we have dropped in. Thankful that they have set up online reservations, as the word is out that the food is good. We dropped in with friends last Sunday and were seated inside. Cocktails are always creative, fresh and flavorsome! The soups and starters were all very delicious. It was Fried Chicken Sunday and funny enough....we never tried it. So my better half got the chicken, while I went for the Halibut. No regrets on my choice! The beautiful fish was served over whipped potatoes and spinach. Delicious, tender and moist. I was offered a bit of the fried chicken...well, it was the opposite of my halibut. So very dry. Sorry to report, the piece of breast meat I had, was not moist at all. I actually choked on it. Lesson learned...stick with the fish! They are an amazing and great restaurant! Perhaps we just ordered fried chicken on an "off night". read more

Could easily be a 5 Star Here's how : Crab Chowder ; very good flavor and thickness but almost no crab meat ,tons of corn , might as well be called Corn chowder . Put in some lump and it's a10. Scallops : Perfect but very small and only 4 . Four would be acceptable if they were large ,but I've had appetizers bigger than these and larger quantity for a third . If your charging over 45 dollars you should get at least 5-6 for that size . This may be the most expensive scallops per portion I've ever had and I've been to many Michelin restaurants all over the world. Just felt a little ripped off on the scallops for that price for an appetizer size main which included no sides . The Cuban pork was excellent and I've been to many authentic Cuban restaurants ! The calamari great too . Waitress was very good and drink specials too. read more

Charming atmosphere; a nice change of atmosphere and different than other places in Bethany. The wait can be long in summer, but we got lucky and sat a 2-top on the porch right away. I should mention that, despite being outdoors, the porch gets very loud. There were 2 parties of 4 that were both very loud, just having a good time, but it was distracting since the tables are so close. We had a delicious fried green tomato appetizer, with pimiento cheese and fresh pesto. Husband's shrimp & grits were delicious - the sauce/broth was especially good. The portion is not large. My soft shell crabs were delicious - pricey at $46 which wasn't mentioned or printed on the menu. Large crabs, cooked well. I would have liked a little sauce and didn't realize until the crabs were gone that sauce had been smeared underneath - usually served on the side of the plate. I suggest serving a little sauce in a little cup on the side. The accompanying black bean salad was delicious but the red cabbage slaw was too spicy to eat - must have been an unusual batch. The peach cobbler dessert was also delicious and enough for 2 to share. We will look forward to our next visit. read more

Food was really good. We had the Crab Cakes and the Scallops with red curry sauce. The asparagus was grilled to perfection. The crab cake had large succulent lumps, as written on the menu and the scallops arrived with the delightfully spiced red curry sauce on the side so that the sear remained crisp for each bite. I'm a fan. read more

This is a must visit every time we come to Bethany. This time we brought our 10 yo daughter and now we have a family of Patsy's fans.

Food was OK Service was better I ordered the halibut just ok Friend ordered the porkchop the flavor was good but a little overcooked I don't I would go back with all the other choices at the beach read more

Patsy's is everything you hope a local, family owned house-turned-restaurant should be. Passionate about their food, great servers who clearly care, cozy environment. They update their menu frequently and they remain one of the better experiences in Bethany for a great food. It's expensive, but I don't mind paying for value. And you get a great experience at Patsy's. Keep it up! Strongly recommend. read more

I absolutely adore Patsys. The menu is always innovative but retains good Key West favorites. The 'fried green tomatoes' are the best ever and the seasonal seafood is so fresh and prepared with a wonderful sauce that compliments the dish. read more
