15 Best American Restaurants in Bethany Beach

“Our entire family was in town for my husband's 60th bday and he wanted martinis and oysters so we walked up to Harvest Tide, right off the beach - 30 minutes before it opened. We had no idea we were early as the manager, Donna, graciously greeted us and escorted us to the bar area and set us up in the bay window with several tables. The bartender, Joe, knocked it out of the park with delicious concoctions and never raised an eyebrow about us being there early. We enjoyed oysters, hushpuppies, mussels, deviled eggs and many cocktails on the happy hour menu. As residents of Bethany Beach, it is the BEST elevated happy hour on the beach. There is even seating outside on the patio for fabulous people watching from the second story. Not to mention, they now serve a wonderful breakfast/brunch starting at 7 am so you can roll right onto the beach after sipping some bubbles and having a delicious meal. If you haven't tried it, GO! And if you have gone in the past, it is definitely worth another taste!“

“I got the cod tacos and they were incredible!! Quick service too!“

“A great place for lunch or dinner while down at the beach. Fresh, farm to table food. I recommend their bowls, salmon blt, fries, and the nachos. Sometimes they have live music. A nice, relaxing beach atmosphere and bar. Pay to park. Indoor and outdoor seating“

“My family and I frequent Bethany Beach each summer and Bethany Blues has become one of our absolute favorites. We typically order carry out but this most recent trip we decided to dine in and I wanted to write this specifically in regards to that experience. Everything was delicious, they were super busy but we still got our food quickly and correctly which is always a plus. The manager for the evening came around when our waiter informed him that someone in our party had a gluten intolerance. The manager came over and was so friendly, and knowledgeable about every item on the menu and exactly which items and sauces contained gluten and which did not. For someone to take this extra time and attention for something that at other restaurants is commonly overlooked meant so much to us, we wanted to be sure to recognize and give credit where credit was due. Thank you and we will absolutely be back on our next trip down! ☺️“

“Outstanding food and customer service!“

“Excellent food and drinks with a great atmosphere“

“I eat at Armand’s quite often and the food is excellent along with the service ❤️❤️I have never had a bad meal there ? Brian and Carlos are the nicest people .“

“LOVE this place! It is our favorite lunch place. Everything is delicious. The muffins are wonderful!“

“Food was great. Tuna appetizer was delicious as was the salmon. My only issue was with the espresso martini. It wasn’t cold as you’d expect from being mixed in an ice shaker. Instead of espresso, it seemed more like watered-down coffee was used. It was very watery and did not have a very strong coffee/espresso taste. Reminded me of an iced coffee that sat out too long. Won’t order that again. Also, there were NO prices on the drink menu so we either had to ask about each one or just take a chance it wouldn’t cost too much.“

“When going to Rehoboth beach, you need to go to Grotto's pizza. Sam was our waitress, and she was excellent and attentive to our needs that we went back a second night and asked for her again. She was super sweet and willing to help whatever the request!!
The pizza was awesome, the caprese salad was amazing with that balsamic glaze, and the loaded fries with gooey cheese and bacon came to the table still smoking hot!! A must see when on the beach!!“
