We took our chance on the Penguin for our first meal in downtown Bethany Beach. If you’re looking for breakfast with some seafood integrated into the menu, this is the place!
If you’re looking for delicious mimosa and Bloody Mary flights- this is the place!
I couldn’t think of a more perfect breakfast- The seafood scrambler- although a little pricey ($35) you get a large portion of eggs, shrimp, crab meat, toast, potatoes and topped with delicious white cheddar! Highly recommend!
The kids were very pleased with their chocolate chip pancakes served with syrup and lightly drizzled with powdered sugar.
My wife got the Giulianis salad and said it was good!
Great spot, we will be back!

This is a fantastic restaurant. Came here for breakfast. The food was incredible. The blueberry pancakes were perfect in every way. I got the Andy’s Breakfast wrap and it was very good. I only wish it had an additional protein in it since the entire wrap is mainly egg. Beyond that it was great. We also got the Robins Wrap and the person eating it was very happy with it.
Definitely coming back to the penguin.

Excellent brunch spot in the heart of Bethany beach steps from the boardwalk. This awesome little spot is definitely worth a visit, but make sure you get there early it closes at 2 pm. The French toast is ridiculously good. The menu is perfect with options to satisfy everyone. There are egg scrambles, salads, and sandwiches. We loved the decor and vibe. Can’t wait to go back!

Food was great. But breakfast for two cost us over $60 …. Wow. Also, really look at your receipt the waiter charged me 6 dollars more from the menu price. He said it was for the cheese added but there was no cheese, then he only reduced it by 2 dollars. My wife also was over charged for eggs over easy. Bacon and home fries.. sorry i would not recommend only for the high prices. This breakfast should have only cost us 30…

Delicious food! Second visit to The Penguin, and again, impressed with the food and service. The Greek omelette was wonderful; full of fresh ingredients. Burger looked incredible and my husband said it was very tasty. Nice looking, clean atmosphere. Good service. Highly recommend.

We love the fresh food. Hubby had a BLT, not on the menu but absolutely delicious! The mimosas are the best and BIG. Highly recommend!

Definitely worthy of a trip. Fast and friendly service. Good food, if a little overpriced. But, then again, that’s probably what we get for eating breakfast in a resort town. The brisket bowl was definitely tasty!

Delicious Chesapeake omelet with an icy cold, perfectly brewed ice tea. I was really impressed with my server, Julia, who was on the ball about every little detail including bringing additional ice in case the freshly made ice tea wasnt cool enough to making sure I had condiments on the table prior to my food coming out. The omelet was served quickly, and was piping hot. Julia was prompt with drink refills and checking to make sure everything was delicious. I highly recommend!
