“One of the places open during the offseason, nice bar inside with very warm and welcoming dining room. There is outside dining if the weather's nice. Great selection of cocktails and mocktails and beers. The east coast old fashioned was delicious. They had a soup special for St Patrick's Day which was lamb and corned beef and vegetables and potatoes etc which was very good. The Mediterranean scallops were tasty as well. The seafood bucatini was creamy and delicious and the seafood very fresh tasting. Cooked perfectly as well especially the scallops. All the other meals everyone said were good, the steak was cooked perfectly and everyone left full and happy. Service was wonderful, friendly, and enjoyable.“

“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. We really appreciate getting seated so quickly, especially with the kids in tow. The food and drinks were amazing and our waiter was awesome and patient as we dealt with our kids 🩷 10/10 would go here again!“

“Totally enjoyed our delicious dinner & drinks with beautiful water views. Lavender lemon drop martini, grilled oysters, grilled salmon on beet outer & warm beignets with caramel sauce for dessert. Our waitress, Peyton, was very friendly offering wonderful recommendations all with a sweet smile. Cozy coastal atmosphere! We’ll definitely be back!!“

“My guests and I did not go to Blue Coast expecting 25% off on Weds night. But we got it! We picked Blue Coast for its great food, lovely ambiance, and outstanding service. They delivered all of that! Again. Thank you to our server, Kelsey, and the entire team. We had a lovely evening. And what a surprise to receive 25% off on Weds night. We ordered appetizers and dessert to make up the difference of the discount.“

“Food was amazing as well as their 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.“

“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“

“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 first visit there. I had shrimp and grits that were excellent. Very original Louisiana flavor. My wife had crab cakes with a house made sauce that was awesome. Our server, Luke, was fabulous also. Will definitely be returning.“

“One of the best meals we have had locally in a very very long time! I’m so glad we ended up here because the neighbors had some not nice staff. Freaking fantastic food!!! We will be regulars 🦀“

“Crab meat was fantastic. Service was excellent!“

“The Maryland crab soup is the best I have ever had ! The Sunday night crab cake special was delicious - crab cakes - all limp and fries - yum !“

“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**“

“The best service, crabcakes, and AYCE seafood in OC. This place is the bomb. Keep doing exactly what you're doing! Keep the prices affordable and you'll outlast all of the other inferior competitors. Definitely my go-to, happy place to eat!“

“Friendly place to watch a football game“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough amazing things about Fishtails! My son and his father recently ate here while visiting Ocean City, and after he came back home to St. Mary’s County, we realized his phone had been left behind. When I called the restaurant, not only did they confirm they had it, but the manager, Johnny, immediately offered to send it back to us. He asked for my address and shipped it straight to our home — no charge, no hassle, no questions asked. In a world where good customer service is hard to find, this went above and beyond anything I could have expected. This level of kindness, honesty, and genuine care for customers is rare, and it speaks volumes about the type of people who run this restaurant. Even though we live hours away, they treated us like locals and family. Thank you so much, Johnny and the team at Fishtails, for going the extra mile — you’ve earned a lifelong fan in me, and we’ll be sure to visit every time we’re back in Ocean City. 🌊🐟💙 From my son: “I really enjoyed my time at fish tales,the food is great,service is also great,and I even left my phone there 4 hours away and they shipped it without any trouble. This is a really a good place, I would 100% recommend!! ““

“First time here and I can’t say enough about the food and service! Everything was great! Will definitely be going back! FYI the kids menu was also great!“

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

“I highly recommend FINS Fenwick for event planning and good eats. The entire staff from the managers, waitress and cooks handled my mother’s memorial lunch with attentiveness and professionalism. I can’t identify anything I wish was done differently so I was blown away! Special thanks to Alicia, Jason and Stephanie O.“

“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!“

“The food here was great.“

“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 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.“

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

“I highly recommend Yellowfins!!! The crab cakes are out of this world good!!“

“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!“

“this is my favorite dinner spot in ocean city, md hands down!!! have come for the last two summers, this past summer was for my honeymoon! all of the food was delicious and the views are stunning 🤩 the only thing was my crab cake sandwich said it would be on a potato roll and it was a regular roll 🥲 still yummy though!!!“

“Delicious Creamsicle Crush! Great server, meals came out quickly even though they were busy. I enjoyed my coconut shrimp especially because it wasn't greasy and the orange dipping sauce was enjoyable. My husband ordered the shrimp salad in a tomato. He did say it needed a little more seasoning so he asked for some Old Bay to add to it. We love coming here, but you need to arrive early or you will have a long wait!“

“Great food...great service ... great atmosphere“

“My flounder with a crabcake was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Highly recommend this little gem in OC.“

“Our server, Madison, took on our large party of 14 for a special occasion. From start to finish she made sure the details were seen to despite a full restaurant and a hiccup in seating. She carefully orchestrated each person's meal down to last minute changes and boxed desserts to go. She turned what could've been a disastrous evening into a wonderful and smooth dinner party. Many of our party had never tried Carrabba's and left excited to visit again. Thank you Madison and staff!“

“Olena is amazing!!! Busy as she was she still took care of everyone in a very timely fashion. ❤️“

“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.“

“So many options to pick from on the menu. Kayla our waitress was one of the best we had all week. All the food came out quick, and drinks never went empty. Added this to our list of must stops when we are in town.“

“An excellent seafood restaurant!! First time there and we’re blown away!!! Great job, Blu!!“

“No complaints. Went yesterday for crabs. Going back today. 😋“

“Visited the restaurant for the first time last week. What a beautiful place filled with friendly and amazing staff. The food is 10/10 and so are the drinks! Everything I tried tasted absolutely delicious and looked impeccable! I can’t wait to go back and try different options from their menu!“

“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.“

“We visited the Crab Bag Gift Shop while at the beach last month and the customer service was excellent! They did not have what we needed in our size so the manager,Julie, offered to order and ship it to us. She was extremely helpful and pleasant. The store has a large variety of anything Maryland and of course anything to do with crabs, if you haven't done so already you should definitely check it out! We also ate at the restaurant, and the crabs were some of the best we've ever had.“

“Best clam chowder I’ve ever had.“

“Love this place. Great refresh of a beach classic. Love the pantry where you can grab coffee, breakfast and pastries and provisions. The happy hour is great in the main restaurant. I can’t say enough about this gem. Also, Fridays they host a farmers market.“

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