Cleanliness is horrible. Food was below average. Bar area full of dust and grime all over mirrors behind the bar. Bathroom looked at if it had not been properly cleaned in months!! Went during July expecting fresh food for lunch. Carrots were dried out and tomatoes were mushy. Salmon was tasty. Fries fish tacos were all batter! If the restaurant and bar area are filthy...what does the kitchen look like. read more

DON'T order the scallops. Only 4 scallops, they were dry and rice/orzo was tasteless for $29. Mac and cheese was great, tacos and shrimp salad were also good. Crab eggroles were wonderful. read more

This place has some crab dip I'd put my chicken in. I love the pot roast. It's almost as good as their fried squid. I'd eat eleven toddlers if they were battered like the squids. read more

Great bay scallops, no wait, attentive staff, enjoyable evening for both the kids and adults! The fishbowl drink (purple slushee) was fun for kids. Downstairs boat play area is fun if there is a wait or just a little time to play. Would definitely come back! read more

The service was good but the food was over priced for what you get. The bang bang shrimp was the only thing we enjoyed. I got the mahi mahi which was overcooked and too salty (and I like salty food!). Husband said the crab cake sandwich was bland. Mom said you could tell the burgers were frozen pre-formed patties. The menu has good flavor ideas just poor quality and execution. The restaurant is beautiful, it's a great location and very family friendly. I wouldn't go back and I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Definitely a great spot for breakfast! This is our second time here and we loved the breakfast! Definitely a great spot! And nice staff!

Ropewalk has mostly good food, great views, and good service. I gave it only 2 stars because we ate there yesterday and ordered the crab and shrimp mac & cheese for $24. The portion was unacceptable. They either need to double the portion or halve the price. It was insulting. It was pasta, cheese, a slight topping of crab, and was the size of a kid's portion. Wegmans charges $12 for a portion twice the size that has a generous portion of lobster. Do not order this entree. A total rip-off. read more

Not that good, better experience at the OC Rope Walk. Management should focus on the customer's needs. read more

Just finished the best crab cakes ever tonight. Coming from Annapolis area , I am really picky but these were the best I ever had. Huge piece of fresh lump crab meat, basically no filling! A must have if you go. Great service , great bartenders. read more

Great atmosphere with amazing service from Tina, the drinks where great and the crab dip was amazing! Can't wait to come back!

We took our four granddaughters there for dinner, great service, drinks served in pitchers, something for everyone. Burgers fries tacos all well prepared and served hot. We will certainly return. The decor on the second floor was amazing. read more

Staff were very friendly and the soup was good. The salad and the wings were lack luster at best. I think the wings were pre cooked as yet were dry. Ok as a bar but eat elsewhere read more

Our favorite Bethany Beach family spot. The ripper burger and crab cake on salad are our go to meals. The crab egg roll starter is one of our favorite treats. We have never had a bad experience here. read more

Never again! We had heard good things about the Ropewalk in Ocean City, so we decided to try the one in Bethany while we were driving through. What a mistake. We got the clam strips and fried oysters for the table. The clam strips were the worst I've ever had - very chewy and didn't taste good. Didn't even come close to finishing them. We told the waitress we wanted the oysters fried crispy. The breading wasn't even cooked on most of them. Again - didn't finish them. I got the crawfish. They were so dry, they were inedible. Crawfish are supposed to be juicy - you know, suck the heads juicy. These were so dry I could pull the entire crawfish out of the shell without even peeling it! Somebody doesn't know what they're doing in that kitchen, that's for sure. Won't waste my time or money there ever again. read more

Our food was excellent, but the main attraction was the play area for our kids! It was so refreshing to go to a nice, clean, attentive restaurant that the whole family could enjoy. We'll be back for sure! read more

Food was ok. Service was adequate. Price was high. $4.00 for club soda. $2.00 for a substitute of fries without mentioning there was a charge for that. Too many other places that are good to go to -we won't be back. read more

There must be a severe crab and bacon shortage in Bethany Beach. How else can you explain the scarcity of those two advertised ingredients on the Cobb salad? Apparently, lettuce in this part of the country carries a steep price tag. That's the only conceivable justification for the $19 tariff on this wholly unsatisfying bowl of greens. Any resemblance between this snack and a true Cobb salad is sheer coincidence. read more

This is a new restaurant right on the main boardwalk road. Oysters were excellent so was the oyster shooters. read more

Ropewalk Bethany Beach - Seafood Near Me - Bethany Beach, Delaware

Great meal in a great environment! Family friendly both in terms of food choices and cheerful attitude toward little guests. Our server answered all our questions and was very attentive throughout the meal. Plenty of reasonably priced options. Hard to believe they're this organized after only opening a month ago. They also plan to be open year round which is a big plus to me. I WILL be back! read more

Beyond disappointed. We were very excited because of location near Bethany Boardwalk, butsimply awful. I cannot even chalk it up to a new business, just too many errors. The crab dip is something mushy out of Aldi's freezer, with only a few tortilla chips. We waited 20 minutes for additional chips, so it was cold and entrées had already arrived. Fish tacos had less than no flavor--I had to douse with Old Bay to choke them down for $16. The only Chardonnay by the glass is warm Rex Goliath. Husband had the fried oysters that are to be a house specialty--as soggy as leftovers. I had to ask 3 times for water and finally stopped waitress in the hall. A definite don't stop. read more

My family totally enjoyed this restaurant! The play area on the first floor when you walk In is so cute (a little ship play area wine sand)...we sat upstairs on the deck and could see the entire downtown at night which was beautiful. Food was good (not great)...but I think it was the ambiance and cool decorations and seating arrangement that got me (and my kids)....service was attentive. I LOVE that this place is peanut free...it was hard to find at Bethany Beach (especially with establishments frying in peanut oil down the block...and ice cream places with soft serve peanut ice cream) -- I appreciate this restaurant -- great family friendly establishment read more

The restaurant has a very cool vibe - great for families. There is a great play area right when you walk in. The food was terrible. The appetizers tasted like they were a microwave meal and the dinners weren't any better. We tried to let management know about our experience, but it seems like they do not care. I would skip this place and try many other great restaurants in Bethany. read more

The boat playground on sand sold our family. my two boys loved playing there while we waited for food. I enjoyed the grapefruit crush and overall chill ambiance and family friendly environment but the food was just ok. I got the jerk chicken salad but the chicken was dry and my husband got the flounder roulade and was ok. But the service was good, the host staff and waiters were friendly, and my kids loved playing up front. Overall good experience. read more

The crab cake meal was good, especially the green beans. I ordered wings and they were dry. Portabella mushroom tacos were not very good! They were also dry, I asked for some kind of sauce to put on them. And the tortillas were straight out of the package. On the positive said, our waiter was good. read more

We stopped in the bar area in September 2018. Bartenders were nice and made great drinks. We liked the way the place looked, too. We went back for a dinner and drinks September 2019. Service was slow,server was missing for most of the time that we were there, couldn't get drinks during the meal. Someone else from the kitchen brought our food out and said he'd let our server know that we needed drinks. Food was as good as your local Long John Silver's restaurant. I usually tip 20% without question. I know that even if service is a little off, there's a lot that servers have to do and we don't see it. I gave 15% this time. I checked my credit card statement and the server added $8 to his tip!!! Save your receipts!!! read more

Just so so. Soup was good, Caesar salad was good. Plastic cups for beer are environmentally irresponsible. Prices are a little high. Probably won't repeat. read more

I recently visited with a group, and we all felt this place was overpriced with flavorless food. Dishes looked great-- from crab cakes to salads to tacos-- but no one enjoyed their food and we all left unsatisfied. We also felt ripped off after spending a lot ($18 for mediocre salads, etc.) and the waiter tried to convince us to get more expensive options. Will not be returning. read more

Fair at best. Very loud which makes it difficult to enjoy your meal. Food is just ok nothing special.

Went hear in April and the food was good. Came here this past Wednesday and was so disappointed. I was with a party of 10 and not one good meal. The biggest complaint was that everything lacked flavor. I had the scallops with orzo and the scallops had a good garlic lemon flavor but the orzo was so bland that salt didn't even help. The stuffed flounder was soooo white it looked like it was boiled not roasted and for a crab stuffing there was no crab flavor. 10 meals and 10 dissatisfied customers. It was not busy and there were plenty of staff on hand just a disappointing meal after such a good one a few months ago. read more

Overall this location had great service, very appetizing food and a great outdoor seating option. The only reason I chose to write this review was to mention the amount of flies this location had. I mean, we were a party of 8 and noticed as soon as we sat down. We really started having to swat groups of flies when we got our crab cake spring rolls (which where delicious). We were getting annoyed but thought "whatever, it's not terrible". Boy were we wrong. As our entrees got here, not only did the flies come right back, but there was ten times more than before. Oh yeah, and did I mention that we were inside! Our food was COVERED in flies and constantly coming near our heads and legs. It was so bad that one of the two year olds we had brought started crying over them. They had left to go to the bathroom and in SECONDS their chicken fingers had at least ten flies on them. We felt rushed to get out because of this issue. All of us felt so terrible for our waitress because of course this wasn't her fault! All I'm trying to say is that this place needs to fix this issue or else things may not end well. But as I said earlier, awesome food and great service. I really hope this issue gets fixed. #justclosethedoors read more

Love this place! The crab cake egg rolls are love and the lemon crushes MAN bomb! Kacey our waitress was the shit!

I went to the Ropewalk in Bethany Beach for Sunday brunch. I had scrambled eggs and bacon. I asked for toast and I was told that have no bread. Tell a place that serves breakfast and has no toast, bagel, or some sort of bread to go with it. One person in my party asked for sunny-side eggs and He was told that they couldn't do that...only scrambled...They did serve poached eggs but other than that all they would serve was scrambled. read more

Impressed with the food and service at this new restaurant in Bethany. My son rates their 'Gipper' burger as one of the best and my snapper was tasty. Drink selection was good - monster lemonades for the kids! read more

this place is awesome! there was no line, a cool playground in front, upstairs seating with a beautiful view, and great food. it was renovated and modern too, not sandblasted and stinky like alot of restaurants at the shore. read more

Really good beach restaurant. Hits the mark with good salads, wings, sandwiches. We ordered the fried green tomatoes with crab. No complaints! Service was good. Beer was cold. Outside dining. Who could complain. Will be back. read more

Our waiter had inadequate training. He did not know the answers to our questions, mixed up our drinks, repeatedly asked what we ordered, and handed the checks out in a pile instead of individually. What restaurant has a liquor license, but does not have a blender...this one. the manager came to our table to explain this to me, and she not very friendly (to put it nicely). That was the only time we saw her. At all the other restaurants we went to in Bethany Beach, the managers were constantly seen, helping the wait staff and checking on things. If this restaurant was better managed, it could be improved. However, we have already decided that will go elsewhere. read more

I was hesitant to try Ropewalk and as expected it was horrible. I asked the waitress if any fish dishes were fresh. She was honest and said everything was frozen. The very large sign on the wall states Fresh Seafood. I guess they mean fresh frozen. I ordered a plain burger It came with velveeta cheese and what they called a crab dip on top. I scraped it off and would have been more satisfied with 5 guys down the street. My wife decided to be more adventuresome with a plate of stuffed flounder. She had a hard time finding the crab meat. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone except for those folks that have no tastebuds or hordes of small children who can run free and enjoy chicken strips. read more

Very mediocre food. Chicken sandwich was without flavor on a cold bun that they claimed was a kaiser roll but had no flavor.... been back a few times to give it a chance but never more than mediocre on a good day. Disappointing considering the location and opportunity read more

The food at this place is exceptionalbut the costumer service is terrible and the the waitress we ended up having was very rude to the kids and was very unorganized. read more

Great service, great menu, perfect location and very kid-friendly. Deducting a star because there were flies EVERYWHERE. But we'll definitely be back next summer! read more
