“We dined at One Coastal over the weekend. We had four people in our party and everyone ordered a different item on the menu. Food was fantastic! I enjoyed a simple pasta dish that was the most delish meal I’ve had in years. I shared with everyone at the table and everyone loved it. My husband had the pork chop and reported that it was delicious. My daughter had the scallops and said they were perfect. Her boyfriend had the flank steak and it looked terrific. But my pasta was PERFECTION!“

“We went to the NorthEast Seafood Kitchen for a birthday dinner. Even though they were full, they worked us into a table to accommodate our crew- including two toddlers and a two-month old.

“Big Fish Grill is one of our favorites at the beach! The food is always excellent, as it was this time around. The chicken carbonara, surf & turf, and charcoal shrimp were delicious meals that our family enjoyed. In addition to the great food, our service was the best I can remember. Robbin, our server, was attentive to our needs, bringing our daughter extra lemons and getting the kitchen to do her grilled shrimp without the "spices". She was so pleasant and as our daughter stated, "she's the best server ever"! We'd agree. Wonderful spot, wonderful food, wonderful service!“

“We were staying a few blocks away and found this place while walking the avenue. We went the night before leaving OC and were sorry we hadn't found it sooner or else we would have been back. The place was busy for a Saturday night, and we went about 5pm and were able to take advantage of the happy hour until 6pm. We were seated upstairs right away and had drinks and appetizers to start. the entrees came shortly after, and all was good! The server (Tenijah) was great! She had a great personality, a nice smile and checked on us the whole time we were there. She actually told us that she had only been there a couple of weeks, which we found hard to believe because she was excellent. She also told us that you are open all year .We will definitely be back.“

“Delicious food, fabulous owners. Get an old fashioned, stay longer than you planned. It’s all worth it.“

“If you haven't tried the crab dip your missing out on a great appetizer. The chips that are with it are also very good. Today the steamed shrimp was awesome. Easy to eat flavor point on and amazing. Good job Shrimp boys.“

“We have been here more then 4 times, always great service and great food. highly recommended !!“

“We have been going to OC every July for 7+ days for decades & happened upon The Lobster Shanty last year. We know most of the great dining spots in OC but we were so happy to have found this place!! Great food & the Quahog & Scallop Chowdah is absolutely delicious!! We came from the ferry straight to The Lobster Shanty! Our waiter Vinny was the best!! Such a nice young guy, very attentive, quick, & super helpful with our questions about crabbing! He is the best! We’ll be back during our stay so I can have your awesome Lobster Roll 😋(& I can’t pass on that Chowdah!) ~The Murphy’s ~ Greenwood Lake, NY“

“We heard our favorite bartender Jen Lowe was back on Wednesdays night so we booked and extra night to be able to stop by the Shark to say Hello. Happy hour at the Shark is our favorite place to go while visiting the Ocean. This was night number 3 for us this trip and as always the food was delicious maybe better than in years past. Always fresh served hot and always with a warn friendly smile. It’s always good to go the a place that’s has a feel like “Cheer’s “ atmosphere. Where they greet you like family and make sure you leave happy and looking forward to your next visit. So visit the Shark the best food in all of Ocean City.“

“Excellent food and drinks with a great atmosphere“

“Amazing food, amazing service, and the price was well worth it! Don’t sleep on this place! 🦀🤍“

“Yes we did wait on hour for our table but we went at 6:30pm and it’s a small place. We had drinks at the bar and they were delicious! Our waiter Devyn was amazing! He was so friendly and took all of our jokes like a trooper lol. Food was so delicious and we will be definitely go back on our next visit to Bethany Beach!!“

“Our family loves Rippons! We live locally and have supported many local businesses for steamed crabs. We have found that Rippons has the best steamed crabs! Last weekend we ordered a bushel of crabs, all were heavy, full and fresh, not one had a “paper shell” or mushy. If you have not tried Rippons for your seafood, it is well worth your business. **The Gates Family**“

“Friendly place to watch a football game“

“While on vacation we took our daughter here for her birthday, along with a couple of her friends. Everyone there was extremely nice and friendly, but not overbearing. The food, how can I put it into words? You absolutely have to try the creamy crab soup; your tongue will be forever grateful. Crab cakes are some of the best you'll find. I had the fish tacos and all the wonderful flavors were almost overwhelming. If you are near Bethany Beach and are looking for great seafood with a nice atmosphere, I can't recommend the Blue Crab enough.“

“Always stop on our way into OC and first night is feast night. OUTSTANDING crabs as always!“

“Food was really good.
Atmosphere and service was awesome. Our server was oretty busy, and could have asked us to give up the table to sit more people. He was happy to let us leave our stuff at the table and take our kids to play games in the arcade.
Would recommend to all families, or couples on a date!“

“Barrett was our server. She is the best .we had crab cake and ahi tuna food was delicious. The corn on the cob was fantastic“

“Absolutely amazing! I sent my 2 sons who are 16!! They had a blast! The crew was so helpful and kept checking on my boys! Captain Chris was so nice and kind! The 2 Mates Philomena and Steve were great and kept making sure the boys were ok and kept helping them as needed! They will definitely go again!!!!! Such a great experience for them!!!“

“Today was our first visit. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. My husband and his sister both got seafood and said it was fantastic!!!! My grilled chicken salad was very good! Our son loved his chicken tenders and applesauce. I would definitely recommend Waterman's. We will definitely be back next year when we come down for vacation. 👍“

“Best hamburgers at the beach, by far. And the Monday all day burger special makes them even better. Great food, great service.“

“Waiter was awesome. Kept up on drinks and food. Very attentive.“

“I got the cod tacos and they were incredible!! Quick service too!“

“we actually didn't come for the crabs. 🙃 we love crab, but didn't want to pick. I had the grilled mahi special and my husband had the portobello mushrooms burger and oysters to start. we also shared the boom boom shrimp. The french fries that came with both meals might have been the best I've ever had. hand cut, skin on and CRISPY. We used a gift card I'd bought for your black Friday deal - hope you do that again!“

“The best crab cake I’ve had in Ocean City! Can’t wait to go back!“

“As someone who has vacationed to OC three times. We have never been to a higher end restaurant before and had no idea what to expect. The added 20 percent was a bit confusing but the food was delicious, the staff was amazing and it was a great experience for sure. I definitely didn't expect to spend what we did but it was a once in a lifetime experience for us and it was worth it for sure!“

“Our third time there - always great! Our server Monica was terrific. Friendly and attentive staff. Food was a bit expensive but was great! I had two oyster shooters, my wife had a cherry lime aid crush - excellent. I had the scallops and my wife had braised short ribs. All cooked perfectly. We were given a nice choice of tables on the bay. Wife had the mud slide cake for dessert. Very yummy. Hard to find solid places to eat in OC. This one has held up quite well. Will be back again!“

“Cedar Land & Sea Kitchen is the best kept secret in the Eastern Shore. The bar is also fantastic.“

“We stopped at Reel Inn on a whim because the weather was too beautiful not to sit outside, and it ended up being our favorite meal of the trip! Tucked bayside in the Harbour Island Association complex, the vibe was lowkey with a gorgeous view. Our server Natalie was super friendly, and everything we ordered was excellent, the mozzarella sticks were classic but perfectly cooked, the Assawoman combo (scallops, shrimp, and tuna bites) was outstanding, the chicken sandwich had amazing sauce, the fries were hot, the coleslaw was delicious, and the drinks were great. Truly a wonderful night, and we’d absolutely go back.“

“Great Happy Hour specials - big oyster brews - solar polar , hammerhead great beers - oysters , pulled pork and fish and chips on HH menu . Also got the tuna nachos - not to miss . Bartenders friendly and very helpful .“
