  • Bars open finally. Stopped here and all protocols are executed to the T. There was a few people sitting at the bar and us. Bartenders all wore masks and sanitized everything. We had chips and salsa piled high. Drinks flowed. Everyone was high spirited, accepting the new normal.

  • This was first restaurant I have been to since March and they are doing everything exactly as they should. The staff has been impeccably trained, their protocols are precise and well-thought out, and the entire experience helps relax you during these tough times. I would go back in a heartbeat. As someone in the healthcare field I was extremely impressed. I would challenge any other restaurant or retail chain to do the job Bethany Blues is doing. They are the new gold standard for covid dining. Kudos to them.

  • Ordered takeout in the midst of the Covid pandemic - we showed up right on time and didn't have to do a single thing ... they recognized our car, brought it out within 10 seconds of being parked & put it in our back seat and every food item was amazing!!!! We were so happy with our decision. We were sitting at the dinner saying "this is sooo good" over and over. Can't wait to be able to dine in again.

  • We ate here last night. The Restaurant takes the Social Distancing very serious and made us feel comfortable. Our Server Dani was excellent, great personality and great service. My Wife tried a Bourbon Manhattan for the first time and loved it. I had the Small Wedge Salad and the Delmarva Chicken which is always cooked to perfection. We finished our meal with the Lemon Coconut Cake, Coffee and my Lady enjoyed a Flight of Bourbon to finish off the meal. The live music made an already great night even better. Thanks for a great night.

  • One of the best places to eat. And, one of the best organized to deal with social distancing and protecting customers during the virus situation. It was the best restaurant that we visited during our vacation. We were very impressed and will be back whenever we are in town. Awesome! Extremely clean too.

  • In the thick of our current "pandemic" once again BETHANY BLUES Shines brightly! ... From the moment I walked through the door I was greeted cheerfully by Miss. Lauren... Directed to my seat ... And enjoyed yet another delicious treat from BETHANY BLUES, TONIGHT "Smokehouse Mac & Cheese" ....their Creamy mac, layers of BETHANY BLUES specialty smoked meats ...topped with a heaping mound of their onion "frizzles" accompanied by their moist Corn~Bread!... An incredible meal ... Incredible service, and just Miss Laurens smile alone was worth the visit ... Amazing Staff make this a stand out in these trying times .... Do stop in!
