12 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Fenwick Island

“We have been coming here for lunch since they opened and have never been disappointed. The quality of their food is awesome. My favorite is the pulled pork. I am a meat and potato person and have eaten enough barbecue to honestly say that this is some of the best I have eaten. The sauce served on top is great.
This restaurant and bar has a very small town atmosphere where you feel very welcomed the moment you walk through the door. The service is the best in the area and they go out of their way ensuring the customer is number one. Thank you for your being part of our community.“

“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! ☺️“

“This was my first time trying Annabelle’s we made a delivery order on door dash on busy 4th of July weekend…unfortunately they had forgot the sauces in bag(honest mistake) but the manager was super nice / world class service and had an employee drive the sauces to us so we could enjoy them with our meal! And threw in a dessert with them. Brisket , Turkey and Mac n cheese had a mission bbq vibe but were honestly better and memorable !!. We will be returning and highly recommend ! Thank you Annabelle’s manager for helping make our Fourth of July weekend memorable after the slight mishap we enjoyed sampling all the sauces !“

“We just had Thanksgiving dinner there and for $20 a person it was amazing and personally I probably would’ve pay $40 per person lol it was so amazing. Not sure if it was smoked turkey or just flavored turkey, but it was amazing. Good job a server was awesome.“

“First time at Smoking Sams and wow — so good! We had two pulled pork sandwiches, and they were amazing. The cole slaw was super tasty, and the mac and cheese was great. If the rest of the menu is anything like this, we’re in for a treat. Can’t wait to go back and try more!“

“Great food and service and a nice large clean restaurant and bar!“

“We visited the Crab Bag Gift Shop while at the beach last month and the customer service was excellent! They did not have what we needed in our size so the manager,Julie, offered to order and ship it to us. She was extremely helpful and pleasant. The store has a large variety of anything Maryland and of course anything to do with crabs, if you haven't done so already you should definitely check it out! We also ate at the restaurant, and the crabs were some of the best we've ever had.“
