“The Tide Room at The Shore Beach Club: A Delightful Dining Experience Last evening, we had the pleasure of dining at The Tide Room at The Shore Beach Club in Ocean City, Maryland. Our reservation was for 8:15 PM, and despite potential parking challenges, we found it surprisingly easy to find a spot. The restaurant’s recent remodel is evident as you walk up the stairs into the inviting dining area. Upon arrival, we were promptly greeted at the hostess stand and seated immediately. We appreciated the choice between indoor and outdoor seating, and the variety of seating options available, from semi-circle couches to large arrangements for bigger parties. Our server was attentive from the start, quickly providing us with water, drinks, and menus. After a brief look at the menu, we received a thorough rundown of the evening’s specials. The noise level was perfect, allowing for a pleasant conversation, and the open-air setting provided a comfortable breeze. For appetizers, we chose the crab dip and crab deviled eggs. While both were enjoyable, the crab deviled eggs stood out as the better of the two. I also tried a drink called “Lost in the South,” a refreshing blend of lemon and bourbon that became my favorite part of the evening. For the main course, I opted for the boardwalk fries with a crabcake, a dish labeled as an Eastern Shore Maryland specialty. It was served with tartar sauce and met my expectations with its classic flavors. To finish off the meal, we each selected different desserts. The restaurant’s take on the Maryland Smith Island cake, a cookies and cream version, was a delightful surprise and possibly even better than the traditional version. I highly recommend trying it if it’s available. Overall, The Tide Room offers a wonderful dining experience with excellent service, a comfortable atmosphere, and delicious food. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Ocean City.“

Definitely will be back .

Parking: They have a lot but not a lot of parking lucky we got the last space they had.

Kid-friendliness: Yes children are welcome“

“Best happy hour in OC Maryland“

“I was coming off the beach and wasn’t feeling well a young lady on vacation with her family stopped to help me. We got to the steps of Lennys and asked them to get me some water. The sweetest waitress helped me to the bathroom and offered to wait for me. Your guest waited at the foot of the steps and watched my belongings. I didn’t catch either of their names and other staff could have been involved I was pretty dizzy and not feeling well at all. I just want you to know how awesome your staff is and will always be thankful. I live in NC and visit my mother here every summer and will continue to visit Lennys yearly. This happened today Aug 23, 2022 3-4 pm. Thank you again to the sweetest, kindest waitress!“

“Our food was delicious, but what was also great was Colleen. She couldn’t do enough for the four of us to make our lunch 👍 great.You have a jem of a server. Lynn 1/27/24“

“Good beer and food. My wife and I went back and had lunch. We both got the fried chicken sandwich with the store made buffalo sauce and ranch. My wife got her sauce on the side. We both loved the sauce!! We asked our waitress if it was store made and yes it is. They don't bottle it, but she offered us 2 small cups for free. The waitress came back and offered a quart for 15.00, I said yes without hesitation. Thank you!! Looking forward to coming back more often.“

“Everything was amazing! Highly recommend the Tuna nachos, grilled octopus, and the tsunami roll. Great staff and great food!“

“We were on vacation and saw this coming over the bridge. They have nice outdoor seating overlooking the bay. The view was amazing and our waiter was a younger guy who was well mannered and was really nice. We had a few beers and ordered the chicken fajitas. The food came out pretty quick tasted amazing! There is plenty of parking and the have a nice indoor bar also. I can't wait to come back here again!“

“What an overhaul from the old place ? The menu is outstanding, everyone in my group loved it from the crab cakes to the Mediterranean chicken. The beach area was fantastic!!! Fire pits, tiki bar, and packed sand on the main walking areas make it a blast! Go and enjoy yourselves ?“
