We hit the cottage a couple times a year and always leave happy. Tried a lot of things on the menu and haven't found anything that we didn't like, but the oysters and crabcakes are always favorites. Had the black bean soup this time which was absolutely excellent. we prefer the patio out front to the inside, even if it... more

We eat at the Cottage Cafe several times a year. The food is always good. We always order the Dune Fries. It's a great appetizer. For the first time this summer, we ate lunch there with business associates. It was a nice quiet experience (in the peak season, dinners will be noisy). I had their Cottage crab roll. It was... more

We have eaten at The Cottage each of the 4 years we have been staying at Sea Colony in Bethany Beach, DE. It's a nice, reliable restaurant with a variety of dining choices including kid-friendly meals. They offer everything from pot roast to sandwiches to brunch. Nothing is spectacular, but if you are looking for a decent meal that is... more

After three years in a row at the Delaware Beaches my family tried The Cottage Cafe for the first time this past week. From the noise to the service and trying several different choices the results were the same. There are so many more opportunites in the area to enjoy a vacation meal. more

We like the Cottage Cafe and have been going there for years. It's a little pricey for this type of restaurant, but considering the location at the beach, it's par for the course. They have a decent menu and I have not had anything that wasn't good. The best thing is the weekend breakfast buffet....EXCELLENT. The staff is always quick... more

The dune fries were my families favorite, everyone loved them. The service was great. They have a great kids menu. The servings are big and worth the price, I would recommend to anyone in the Bethany Beach area to try it more

The fiery fingers are the best ever, add the ranch /blue cheese dressings. Dune fries are great. Better to go at dinner time for the larger serving, lunch is a light lunch for the price. The bar is cozy & not loud. more

Don't waste your money! I like it when I can say, 'this or that on the menu is outstanding' NOT HERE. Overpriced for the skimpy servings and just average taste. Felt like I was in a chain restaurant. Sorry ...can't recommend it!! more

The Cottage is a outstanding place for families. We stay in Bethany for 2 weeks each summer and we go to the Cottage at least 3 times while we are there. The food is excellent (I love the scallops) the service is always friendly, and the atmosphere is very inviting. Get there early to avoid long lines. more
