Another trip to the coast and visiting (what used to be) a great seafood restaurant turned in to a tragedy.
I've been going to the Cottage Cafe since it opened, and throughout the times I both lived in and visit Delaware.
Cottage Cafe history:
"The Cottage Cafe was a dream come true for owners Brent Poffenberger and Tom Neville, who had a goal of opening their own beach restaurant. The restaurant and pub opened for business in 1993 with a convenient location in Bethany Beach, DE, for vacationers and locals alike to enjoy." - Oct 11, 2022
The Cottage Cafe was AWESOME back in the day, and was still great until it was sold to the new corporate owner.
"The Cottage Café has been sold to SoDel Concepts after 29 years under its original ownership." - Oct 13, 2022
Better get it right SoDel, or you're risking losing a TON of business. Get back to basics and stop trying to fix things that weren't broken ... because you're breaking it!
