“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!“

“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!“

“Rhino Chasers, Ahi Guac, Vermicious Knid pizza. Would I recommend. Absolutely. So good. The portions are generous. We finished the fries and gauc, and could only down one slice of pizza. So full. And the happy hour Sangria was wonderful as well. Glad I finally got to try this place. Go early for immediate seating.“

“On Monday, August 4th, we had a party of 18 for light fare dining and drinks. Our server, Nikki, was exceptional. Professional, accommodating, super nice and was so efficient. Our food was delivered timely and everyone was pleased with the quality and temperature of the menu items ordered. Not an easy task for such a large party and on a very busy night. Drinks orders were also served timely and were delicious. Thank you Thomas, Nikki and staff for a wonderful evening.“

“The portions are great! Loved the interior! Reservation for 7 no problem getting one on a Saturday night. Service was first class!“

“My husband and I had a great breakfast experience, just a few minutes ago!! Great food - not a bunch of hoity-toity “foodie” fare - just simple dishes, sides, and combos that are prepared perfectly. Sahara Cafe is, now, on our “must visit” list! Staff is very friendly and super efficient. The cafe is homey and traditional, reminiscent of restaurants from my youth - that great diner feeling. Let’s talk about that giant cup o’ Joe… delicious, hot, and the size of a “FRIENDS” cup!! What?! Not having to wait for multiple refills?! That’s right. Not that you’d have to wait because their servers are very attentive and accommodating. Five stars, for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My husband and I had the pleasure of dining here as we were a Veteran family invited to Bethany Beach with Operation SEAS the Day. Words can’t express our gratitude of the wonderful dinner that we had. The outdoor patio is beautiful and romantic. We both ordered the ribeyes and they were delicious, juicy, and tender. The crab dip was the best I have ever eaten. We loved the cream of crab and French onion soups. The servers were friendly and took very great care of us. This restaurant is must if you are in town, we will definitely come back when we return to Bethany Beach.“

“In from Pittsburgh on vacation. Food was incredible and the staff was a little hard to understand but very attentive and the place just rocked it out.“

“We are never disappointed at Cafe Mirage!! Whether we try the daily specials or the menu staples, the food is delicious, consistent, and the portions are amazing!! You will not leave hungry or dissatisfied!! What makes this place exceptional though, is the staff and the vibe. You are going to be met with smiling faces and be treated like a local. You’d be amiss to not experience this wonderful, family friendly local spot yourself!!!“

“We were an hour late with our reservation, but they still let us come; even though they were closing in a half hour. Food and service were excellent! We’ll definitely be back next time we come down to OC!!“

“Awesome staff and yummy food!“

“Happy Jacks is absolutely the best breakfast restaurant anywhere and they have the most amazing staff and food. We never go anywhere else and it's even better now that we live here. My son, Woody has Down Syndrome, and as parents you always worry how he will be treated, well I can tell you from the very first time we walked into Happy Jacks he was treated with respect and true affection. He now knows all the staff, for his birthday then brought him his pancakes with a candle and they sang to him. And one of the waitresses is his Bff and they spend time together outside of her work. It truly is a family affair.“

“Our go-to when in town!! seated quickly. Coffee came quickly and we were not rushed to order. We had a cheese Danish ($3.99) to start. Then "eye opener" w/ meat (2 eggs over, home fries, and a ton of bacon!) $14.99. I had the creamed chip beef w/ home fries $14.99. Both servings of home fries and of bacon were very generous!! Dryden, our server, checked on us regularly and kept our coffee hot and full. Food came fast, hot and well presented. Out total bill, before tax and tip was $40.94 for to full tummies!!!! We took a carry-out box with a muffin, home fries and bacon home!“

“Been to the diner several times service was great and the food is is great.“

“One of our regular go-to’s. A home-cooked meal when you don’t want to stay home or cook a meal! Laric was our server last night. Wonderful personality, sense of humor and attentiveness. He gets 5 stars, too!“

“My family and I frequent Bethany Beach each summer and Bethany Blues has become one of our absolute favorites. We typically order carry out but this most recent trip we decided to dine in and I wanted to write this specifically in regards to that experience. Everything was delicious, they were super busy but we still got our food quickly and correctly which is always a plus. The manager for the evening came around when our waiter informed him that someone in our party had a gluten intolerance. The manager came over and was so friendly, and knowledgeable about every item on the menu and exactly which items and sauces contained gluten and which did not. For someone to take this extra time and attention for something that at other restaurants is commonly overlooked meant so much to us, we wanted to be sure to recognize and give credit where credit was due. Thank you and we will absolutely be back on our next trip down! ☺️“

“Went for lunch on a Friday and was able to walk in and have a table. Food came out fast and hot, no complaints for the food. Server didnt come back to check on us though… Fries were definitely noteworthy and the lobster roll was great.“

“We ordered breakfast takeout here while staying at the hotel next door, and it was a great choice! The food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. Even the kids absolutely loved their meals. Highly recommend grabbing breakfast here!“

“Our meal was fantastic! Shrimp cocktail, salmon and ribs were all amazing. I especially liked the brussel sprouts, it is a must, if brussel sprouts are your thing. Our server Parker took very good care of us. If you want a solid meal in N.OC give Nick's a shot!“

“Food has always been good here. We sat on Bar side today. Waitress was excellent“

“Wings are Amazing!! I got the Mango Habanero (hot but not killer) Trying the Reapers next!“

“This makes going to the hotel pool so convenient! No need to leave the pool to grab a drink or a snack while at the pool. The frozen drinks are delicious!“

“A must if you’re in Ocean City or in the Delmarva 🏄‍♂️“

“amazing pizza! 10/10 def recommend this place!“

“We came here two days in a row because it was such a great spot. It happened to be gorgeous both days so we sat out in the back patio, which was so pleasant! No wait on either day but both times it was a bit of an early dinner, think 5:00 pm. I can't vouch for lunch time or normal dinner time. The inside was fairly full and a bit noisy but the patios were open and quiet. The decor is new and clean and fun, the landscaping is great, the parking lot is huge, facilities were clean, the staff are so nice and service was great. Wait time for food was totally fine, drinks and water flowed in the interim. The food was great! Really tender burgers, loaded nachos, a massive and delicious birria burrito, expertly cooked fish, good clean rib-sticking food, not over-seasoned or fancified, and well-priced; I don't have a single complaint. We don't live in town but we'll be back every single time we visit the beach.“

“Best Fries at the beach! .50 cent refills when you purchase their huge mug!! Wonderful service by the staff and owners!!!“

“Definitely coming back , this was an amazing hotel lots to do . The staff was great too very friendly and welcoming.“
