Gary, Steve and everyone who works there are awesome and so welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed great drinks and our appetizers were fantastic!!!
Bartender this AM was awesome. Food great and amazing Bloody Mary!
Friendly helpful staff. My favorites are blackened salmon bites cheese steak, scallops when Holly is satisfied with the scallops, egg rolls, any breakfast item.
My husband and I love this place! Quiet, friendly, fun & service is always good. Food is awesome! If you like Turkey Burgers, you should definitely give it a try. Turkey cheese steaks and Turkey egg rolls are good as well. Love the different homemade soups. We have tried many others things on the menu, so you won’t go wrong with what you order. It’s always a good time.
bartenders are awesome. only had drinks
Terrible food. The burgers and crabcake tasted premade, not fresh. The bartender was nice and the Guinness pours were good.
The food is good, the service is good, the prices are reasonable. This is a local’s hangout. The menu is surprisingly healthy with lots of options. Good for families and won’t break the bank. You can usually get a table because they move you in and out fast. Friendly and reliable. You won’t be disappointed
We’ve visited Gary’s in the past to take a break from the heat and enjoy a couple of beers. We always found a nice craft beer tap list and friendly bartenders. This past visit just wasn’t the same. Several establishments in the area are struggling with post-Covid issues, including being short-staffed. Gary’s closed early the first day we tried to stop in but was reopened the following day. We stopped in on a weekday around 5:30 p.m. The place was fairly quiet when we arrived and were a little disappointed that the paper draft list was not updated as the beer my husband ordered wasn’t available. There were two men working behind the bar (one very young man and another who looked like he may have been in charge) and neither one was overly friendly. There was little to no interaction at all with the customers. We only stayed for two rounds of drinks and decided to leave as the place was getting busy with a dinner rush coming in. The only positive is the beers were reasonably priced. We would’ve considered staying longer if the atmosphere was better. While I understand that businesses are struggling, it doesn’t cost anything to be friendly and chat a bit with the customers and make them feel welcome. That’s what keeps people like us coming back! Hoping things get better!
Menu items focused on healthy eats. Famous for turkey cheese steak subs. We split one and was good but not anything out of the ordinary. Cheese was well melted and bun was soft. Service was outstanding which helped. The waiter/bartender was very polite and helpful. Two of us had smoothies and felt they were very well made with fresh fruit. Overall, we were satisfied.
very friendly good food. great music

the menu is fresh, top quality, creative, delicious to go with their own brewed beers. the staff is friendly and helpful. I love the place.
We had another great experience at Gary’s! Great service. I love their craft beer! We took our dinner to go. I had a wonderful tuna poke bowl. It was delicious! My husband had the turkey cheesesteak, one of his favorites! I would highly recommend this place for indoor or outdoor dining or takeout! It is a casual friendly place with great food, drinks, and service!
Tried this local Dewey Beach bar on the advice of one of their employees. First off, the atmosphere looks like a traditional beach bar, loved it! Staff was absolutely welcoming and friendly, made several recommendations on both food and drink. Recommendations were spot on. Tried a beer brewed on the premises, it was excellent. Ordered some sushi and the seafood pasta, both were outstanding. We live locally, this cute beach bar will be added to our restaurant play list. Thank you Scott for the recommendation!
Always had been a great place to eat with healthy and delicious food!!
Terrible service. Waited 50 minutes to get seated.. Didn’t even get seated and they told me to leave or I would be fined $1000 on top of my marriage.... Definitely not something you want to hear on your bachelorette weekend. I understand covid restrictions but that was extremely degrading.
