I ordered shrimp salad to go. The shrimp was dry and crumbled. It was either old or overcooked. The tomate was not local, nor fresh. I couldn't eat the dish. I called the bistro and was told that no manager was on duty. I then sent an email and never received a reply. The next day, I stopped by for... More

charming place-good wait staff - My daughter had Huevos Rancheros - said they were very good. Unfortunately,my food was not as good. I had stuffed tomatoe w/shrimp salad - hard to believe this is the Eastern shore of Md. Shrimp salad with NO Old Bay or seasoning;just mayo. The tomatoe was even more surprising and disappointing-The tomato was pale,hard and... More

Yummy waffles and frittatas. Like it for brunch better than lunch. Service can be slow, especially if it is a large group.

I've really enjoyed the small-plates dinners over the past several months. The price is right, the food has been outstanding and the servers are as friendly as you'll find at the beach. I really can't say enough good things about it, as my wife and I dine there nearly every week. It's a great getaway from the norm, and the... More

We have never had dinner but I can comment on breakfast and lunch. This is a cute little spot that serves good, sometimes great food. Salads and sandwiches are very good and the breakfast burrito will keep you going until dinnertime, if you can finish it. The servers are always accomodating and helpful. The coffee is great, too. Try it... More

Kool Bean has been our favorite place to eat for years when we travel to Bethany Beach for vacation (although it is actually in Ocean View about 2 miles west of the beach); and it just keeps getting better and better. Breakfast is by far the best we've ever had, generous portions and delicious entrees (the burritto is my husbands... More

Had a wonderful dining experience at local favorite, Kool Bean Bistro. Chef Ricardo is the new chef and every course we had was fresh and full of flavor. Although it was billed as a small plates dinner, the portions were generous. I had the Salmon Puttanesca and my husband enjoyed the Seafood Risotto. It was topped off with home made... More

The new chef is awesome! We had a great dinner, 4 courses all served on time! Our server was very attentive and took care of our every need! The owner was even there greeting people, busing tables, getting drinks and just making sure everyone was being taken care of. They were packed and everything went great! Make Reservations! The new... More

Have been going to Kool Bean for years. Usually several times a month. Coffee Drinks are very good but they are expensive. Small plate dinners. I attended the Seafood Small plate dinner this past weekend and I have read some of the reviews already submitted. The service was indeed slow; and I noted that several of the diners were finding...
