Another Downbeach foodie shake-up along the bay on Amherst Ave in Margate.
After just two summers, Famous Cookie Creamery will not return.
In it’s place? Betty’s Seafood Shack, right next door, will take over that spot with Betty’s BBQ & Fried Chicken.

From Betty’s: We’re excited to announce our next venture, Betty’s BBQ & Fried Chicken.
We will be servin’ low’n slow smoked bbq and killer fried chicken outta the building next to Betty’s (formerly Juniors and, more recently, Famous Cookie).
We have a great menu in the works and will be open for breakfast, with a terrific full coffee program as well.
Sit inside or out. If someone wants Betty’s fried shrimp and their pal is craving slow smoked St. Louis ribs and tasty fried chicken, we’ve got ya covered! More details to follow.
Betty’s Seafood Shack owner is Steve Marchel, the man behind Waterdog Smoke House on the Margate / Ventnor border.
Betty’s BBQ & Fried Chicken. Coming Summer of 2025.
Sounds great!! I’m hoping they’ll consider having Bassett’s ice cream on the dessert menu!! And am hoping there will be a gluten-free fried chicken option, like Betty’s wonderfully offers with their other fried foods!
Sounds great
Who needs icecream
When you can get barbeque
Agreed! A gluten free chicken option would be great to have in Margate
