There are 2 DB locations a block apart, one of them is on the corner called DB Fries, the other is inside the mall called DB's Seafood Co. This review is specifically for DB Seafood Co inside the mall. This was one of the most regrettable restaurant choices I've ever made. I should have known to look elsewhere the minute we walked in. There were 2 employees, both on their cell phones. The TV was turned on to an adult graphic novel like show, almost looked like a video game. This was clearly not for customer viewing as the only other folks there were an older couple. The fact that no one else was eating there should have tipped me off. As a former food microbiologist, one look inside the kitchen should have been the second tip off. But, we were hungry after a long drive and now a delay in checking in to our hotel. All the food is served in styrofoam containers with plastic utensils. I ordered the clam chowder. After 2 bites, I was done and could not stomach anymore. While there were plenty of clams, the chowder was thin, had no real flavor, and consisted mostly of perfectly cubed potatoes. It is inside a mall with video games, and every time you passed a certain one, a creepy, loud voice started talking. The whole experience was weird.

Great boardwalk seafood place. Exactly what you want when you're at the beach: big variety of different seafood items, lots of tasty fresh fries, and BIRCH BEER. Perfection, no notes. (Well, okay, I sometimes add salt -- but I have to say their cocktail sauce is top-notch and adds plenty of salinity). I go here almost every day when visiting Bethany.

Just walked out of this place for the last time. Food is ok, but not worth the treatment you get from the staff. Rude guy at the register needs an attitude adjustment. When we addressed him about how he treated one of the people in our party he turned his back and ignored us. We’re done w this place after years of going there faithfully.

Went there for a quick lunch. Very few people there maybe that was my first clue. Ok food served in styrofoam containers (didn’t even know that was still a thing especially for a beach location that should be worried about pollution, but I’ll step off a soap box). Most expensive lunch for just ok food.

Yum!! Perfect lobster rolls, we got both hot and cold and both were spot on. Comes with really great hand cut fries and coleslaw. Not just seafood (great chicken strips for the kiddo). Definitely worth a visit!

Never had a lobster roll with chopped lobster in it before. Not bad flavor, but not what we expected. The guy taking the orders was not at all friendly - others around us commented that their food wasn't good.
I am really surprised that they have a 99/100 health score... The ambience leaves something to be desired. They microwave a lot of the food, which I found weird since the kitchen is open and you can see what's going on. The food wasn't great, but the sweet potato fries are really good. I wouldn't go back.

Great food! We had jumbo shrimp platter. It was delicious and fresh! I would definitely recommend it.

This spot is worth the stop and the wait. I got lobster rolls and they were so delicious and the fries were perfect. Highly recommend coming here if you are in the area.

The crab imperial and the fried oysters are awesome! The soft crab sandwich was great. Not quite so much the crabcake. I wish there were more sides from which to choose, but it's hard to pass up the fries anyway.staff is consistently friendly and hard-working, even when crazy busy.

The food was decent but the customer service was awful, the man who took our order was rude and seemed to hate his life and wanted everyone else to be miserable with him. Felt sorry for him. Won't be going back again.
