Visited for the first time recently and had a very nice meal. Blushing crab soup could've used a little more crabmeat, but the flavor was excellent. The housemade muffins were lovely. Staff was friendly and efficient. We'll definitely be back.
Fantastic meal our waitress was Kara W , outstanding service started with some nice martinis crabcake absolutely delicious, and the salads are huge, french fries. Very good haircut. ! The meal was exceptional and so was our service !
We have utilized this restaurant for 3 nights and probably will be a fourth on our first trip to the Bethany Beach area. Every night has been excellent. The fish and steaks are first rate and the desserts are to die for and very reasonably...priced. We did takeout each evening and everything was packaged carefully. This is now our go to place when in the area.More
They have one of the best crab cake sandwiches I’ve had. Paired with their hand cut fries and it was a perfect lunch. The Cafe itself was quite attractive and clean. We were seated promptly and served quite quickly. We will be coming back.
What a great spot for lunch. I have worked in the area for nine years, yet never tried the Cottage Cafe. After hearing so many good things about it, I decided to take my family there for lunch. I had the soft shell crab sandwich,...which was delicious. A kids menu is most welcome since kids can often be finicky eaters. They offer pizza, chicken fingers, etc, for the kids. Our server Kyra was amazing. Attentive, but not intrusive. We will be back again soon!More
What a find while traveling from ME to FL! Bartenders Ali and Hannah were the best and the food was outstanding! The bar atmosphere was friendly with a lot of locals. We got a kick out of a conversation on the Boston accent as my...husband grew up in MA. I am from MD and there aren’t enough positive adjectives to describe the food. The crab soup was loaded with veggies and rivals my homemade soup. The steamed shrimp were perfection. We were there on a Sunday and my husband was in heaven with the turkey dinner special. We love this place and if we lived in Bethany Beach we would patronize this bar frequently. Did I mention the beer is nice and cold?More
For our Sunday luncheon w/longtime friends, we wanted to enjoy our 'catch-up' visit over a relaxed, enjoyable meal. Cottage Cafe hit the spot with spacious booths, a varied, interesting menu and excellent service (thanks, 'Kasandra' or 'Kassie'). My blended crab soup was a tasty starter;...our friends feasted on a gorgeous Key West Scallop Salad and a great looking specialty burger w/fries. My wife's salmon over salad was one of her best ever, while I enjoyed my 'Monday special' turkey meal (ala Thanksgiving, w/dressing, mashers & gravy... even a choice of light/dark or mixed turkey. Good place; highly recommended for a good, no-frills, delicious meal ;-)More
Comfort food at its best and the service to go along with it, just feels like home here, sitting down and just having a great, filling and satisfyingly meal, we will be back
Our second visit this season and we weren't disappointed. We went for lunch in late October and it wasn't too crowded. We had the crabcake sandwiches and they were great. The crab melt looked great too-hard to decided what to order!
Great, family restaurant. Very good food and reasonable prices. Great wait staff. Good dinner menu with a variety of food to choose from. Hand cut French fries paired well with the fried shrimp dinner. Special thanks to Tracy, an Outstanding waitress.
A very nice place for a wonderful lunch. Very much a family kind of place. If you are in the area, you should give it a try.
Visited Cottage Cafe on Monday evening 10/3 after arriving in Bethany for our annual pilgrimage down to the beach. We've been coming to this place for the past several years and always order the fried oysters as they are one of the specials on Monday...during second season. The oysters were large and very tasty as well as the sides that accompanied. Our waitress Ashley was very accommodating and helpful. The weather was nasty outside but it was very cozy inside and both my wife and I enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend.More
Been going to the cottage over the years. Decided to take my husband for his birthday with our son and 3 Grand children ages 5, 6 and 7. Thought it would be fun. They said 15 to 20 minute wait, in reality it was 40...minutes. We were seated in a room all in the back at a table that could seat 20 people. The smell reminded me of a nursing home. i was so embarrassed. There was couple other large tables in this small room. The noise was nerve racking. The service was not that great but friendly. Never againMore
Food and service were very good. A more limited menu than previoudly. this is a go-to place in Benthany.
We went on a Thursday night on our annual beach trip. We had about 1 hour wait so I knew it must be good. We had a very good waitress. We got coconut shrimp, chicken tenders that were very good and crabcakes and one person...got the pot roast which she said was good. The kids got macaroni and cheese that was also very good. Will be back again next year for sure.More
