Something has changed went here last night I come for the st. Louis ribs and was told they were out of ribs. Your a rib joint so decided to go with the baby backs which were terrible. The sesame coleslaw is strange. Management must be changed along with the cook before I go back. I can't recommend this to anybody don't waste your time. Oh almost forgot the ran out of chicken too.

As much as we have loved Bethany Blues in the past, I have to say, the couple of times we had them this summer were just not very good. What a shame, as we thought at first maybe they were just having an off night. The meats have dried out, the mashed potatoes, although the flavor is there, was inconsisten in texture. The fried green tomoates were just awful an the Asian slaw is lacking a certain punch to it. The service has always been good and we tend to go right when they open and the place is always very clean. It's just such a shame that they have gone downhill. We're hoping they will improve next summer.

We've gone to Bethany Blues every year since 2005, and this year will probably be our last. The quality of the food has consistently gone downhill. Since my husand and I are big BBQ fans and do a lot of our own smoking at home, we're sad to see this once fantastic place decline. The brisket is the biggest disappointment. It used to be tender, juicy and delicious, but the past several times I've ordered it, it's been dry, and was utterly inedible the last time (earlier this week). I actually sent it back - something I *never* do. The replacement brisket was marginally better, but not much. The St. Louis ribs were disappointing as well, but my in-laws seemed to like the baby back ribs. On the positive side, their salads are delicious and large (they should be for the price.) I enjoy their spinach salad, and my husband orders the wedge. Their house salad is very nicely put together as well. The cornbread is always good, and the service was friendly and prompt. But we go there for the BBQ and it's just not as good as it used to be. I guess if you lower your expectations, you won't be disappointed, but I don't think we'll be going back, and I definitely won't be recommending it any more.

I was SOOO disappointed to read a somewhat negative review. I thoroughly enjoy eating at Bethany Blues when I visit Bethany Beach! My personal favorite is their beef brisket served with their excellent cornbread and braised greens! I've never had a lunch or dinner item that I didn't enjoy!

This place is over rated, expensive and small portions.
