Ceviche
Janet B.

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.

Sandwich. Softshell, crabcake and two shrimp.
Victoria V.

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!!

Peach cobbler
Susan M.

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!

Fresh warm bread

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!

Passion fruit margarita and homemade red sangria.
Robin D.

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!

Tuna with fennel
Christopher P.

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.

Tuna poke entree special
Paco H.

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.

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!

Caesar don't say no to croutons. Dirty Martini by go to..bartender got it going..many different selections but went on my gin go to.

You know they are both the same owner or at least the same franchise even though slightly different names and a slight different array of offerings. This location at the inside area of the same plaza has seating and more seafood. They use quality bread for their oyster po-boy and and use slightly different ingredients compared to the po-boy at DB-Fries. I forget what the ingredients were at both places- you can investigate yourself, lol. I just wanted good food and to stay out of the slight rain on this particular day. The fries are fresh and well done. Better than Thrashers imo and not a line. Looking back, I probably should've gotten the lobster roll here and the po-boy at Henlopen instead because at Henlopen, it's a combination of seafood instead. Nonetheless, the seafood here was fresh and if it's not a bad day and love seafood, you probably can't really make a wrong choice Staff here is friendly.

The coleslaw had what I believe to be horseradish or something in it that set it aside from all the other local ones. It was super tasty. The fries were decent but nothing special just all around good fries (maybe the need a special sauce for those to set them off). Service was short and to the point and not much of a vibe or ambiance for a snack shack style.

We came back tonight determined to try their food. We came in with two groups eating and waited to be seated for about 4 minutes before someone came to seat us. Felt odd for the wait but it appeared there were only two people to begin with. Upon being seated, we were served water which is what we wanted and we placed our order. I loved the fish cutouts they had on the wall next to us. Took about 10-15 minutes for our food. We started with the pizza and it was exactly what we wanted. Simple but the flavors were there! Pesto, garlic and the mozzarella cheese that pulled apart string style! Maybe could have been a crispier crust but I was happy to have all those components hit the mark. We dug into the pasta and OH MY GOSH!!! Again, the simplicity of this dish with perfectly balanced flavors. The basil and the garlic on point! Oh and the sauce, light and a refreshing hit with lemon. Shrimp and scallops not over cooked. I kid you not, I would have licked this plate clean if my husband wasn't with me! I cannot fathom why we were the only ones in this restaurant because both dishes were delicious!!! Thank you so much for feeding our seafood cravings. WE WILL BE BACK! Only sad that we found it our last night here. Do yourself a favor, please support this restaurant. This has been added to our MUST GO TO places while visiting.

We were first here with our friends around 4 PM on Friday for happy hour at the bar. I enjoyed my two pineapple juice with vodka for $5 each. I also enjoyed my whole one pound steamed lobster with drawn butter and a choice of two sides for $30. I enjoyed my two favorite sides namely the asparagus and sweet potato fries. My total bill was $70. I redeemed my $25 Toast birthday credit to my bill so my net cost was reduced from $70 down to $45. I also applied my balance to my gift card from November 2024, excluding gratuity. I returned here again around 4 PM with my friend for happy hour on lobster Tuesday. I enjoyed my two rum and cokes for $5 each. I also enjoyed my two Big Oyster Midnight Kraken draft stout beers in a snifter also for $5 each. I also enjoyed my lobster tail jambalaya for $22, which I was able to finish this time, since the quantity was decreased due to inflation. My total bill was $41.50 excluding gratuity, which again I used my gift card. We agreed we will continue to return here for happy hour.

I will summarize my three most recent visits in March during the off season on Friday's at 4 PM. We arrived at 3:50 PM prior to their open at 4 PM. Already two people were online. We waited in my Audi waiting for other customers to arrive. Other vehicles arrived around 3:55 PM so we exited my Audi to get in line behind the other two customers. When they opened at 4 PM we secured our favorite table for 4 to the left of the entrance. We were happy that Mike from his former Catch 54 served our table. We first met Mike here at Bluecoast back in 2021. Also Kelly from her former Off The Hook also stopped by to say hello. We enjoyed our dozen Chunu Virginia oysters. I also enjoyed my usual tuna poke for $15 with white rice, carrots, pineapple and jalapeno peppers. I ended my meal with a pineapple martini for $8. We returned here for our second visit with our friends. Since there were five of us we sat in their second booth on the right. Again Mike stopped by to say hello. I started with my margarita with salted rim for $9. Kelly delivered our dozen of the Chunu Virginia oysters for $12 to also say hello. I also enjoyed my two pineapple martinis for $8 each. I also enjoyed my tuna and salmon poke for $16. We also shared a bottle of Trefethen chardonnay for $58 with the Friday 1/2 price wine reduced down to $29. My total bill was reduced down from $143 to $114. Lindsay S. served us very well as usual. We returned for our third visit on Friday. We sat at the table to the left of the entrance. Kelly and Mike stopped by to say hello. I started with my margarita for $8 and ended with my pineapple martini also for $8. Again, I enjoyed my dozen Chunu Virginia oysters and my poke. Alexis D. served us very well. Customer service and friendship are most important. We will continue to return here for the off season happy hour.
