23 Best American Restaurants near Ocean View

“Very good restaurant with a nice vibe. Food was delicious but it is expensive.“

“We had a great lunch today! Food was absolutely delicious. Cheese steak and the sausage with peppers and onions hit the spot. The rolls they use were perfectly toasted and chewy at the same time. Plus the lady who runs the place makes it our new go to spot! Can't wait to try the pretzels and breakfast.“

“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!“

“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.“

“So good! There was always a line outside and we now know why!“

“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!“

“It's always a challenge going out for a bite to eat in OC in the off season as you never know what you are going to get. After reading reviews and looking at menus, I decided to check out Liquid Assets and what a great decision that turned out to be. Walking in alone, I was quickly greeted by Kyle and Joe at the bar and directed to an open seat at the bar. After a brief run down of the drink offerings, I asked for a beer and they recommended a local brew that did not disappoint. Before I had a chance to look at the menu, Kyle brought over a specials menu which was both amazing and overwhelming, and this was just the special menu, as the regular menu pretty much covered every palette imaginable. Interested in the 2 fish options, I asked Kyle for his recommendation and without hesitation, he suggested the Pan Seared Monkfish with which I went and He was not wrong. It came out beautifully presented and was probably the best fish dish I've experienced. Alrhough the fish was cooked perfectly, the star of the dish was how it was presented and everything else it was served with. I went out with an open mind and I was wowed by the experience. Rare do you find stellar staff and 5 star meals but on April 7th, 2025, I did in a town full of less than stellar options. Thanks to locals who care about what they do and who they work for and to Liquid Assets for making OC MD better. cheers.“

“Amazing service and delicious food. It is a must visit every year during our family beach vacation. I highly recommend the hot crab roll and the crab cake! Don’t pass on the chocolate chip cookies either!“

“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!!!“

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

“Joe was the BEST bartender/server at the outdoor bar area. He was fast, attentive, and an overall great person. Any establishment would be honored to have Joe be a member of their team. We are grateful for the opportunity to meet Joe and to have have him serve us. We can’t wait to visit him again!!!“

“A great place for lunch or dinner while down at the beach. Fresh, farm to table food. I recommend their bowls, salmon blt, fries, and the nachos. Sometimes they have live music. A nice, relaxing beach atmosphere and bar. Pay to park. Indoor and outdoor seating“

“Had heard about Nick's and had to try it
Was not a disappointment at all! Ribs were fall of the bone delicious and the flat bread could feed 3 people. Our waiter whose name starts with an M ,was very courteous and most helpful!!! Definitely a place to experience!!!!“

“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!“

“Gorgeous Wedding Venue with panoramic views of the Ocean City Skyline and bay!“

“Best wings and fish tacos around!“

“the chili cheese burger is amazing. queso dip amazing. highly recommend“

“Good food and service beautiful view!“

“Disappointing Experience Unfortunately, this place did not meet expectations. The portions were very small for the high price, and to make matters worse, no sauces are included—you have to pay $2.50 for each one! I won’t be returning. The value just isn’t there. On top of that, when I shared my feedback, the owner was confrontational and dismissive instead of listening and taking my concerns seriously. To make things worse, other employees appeared to be laughing at me or the situation, which is just plain disrespectful and disgusting. As for the food—it was bland and just not good. The rice was the first thing I tried, and it was bad right away. I followed that with a small bite of chicken, hoping it might be better, but it was also completely lacking in flavor. I couldn’t eat any more after that. Overall, not a good experience. It’s genuinely baffling how this place has a 4.7-star rating on Google Reviews. There’s only one other supposed kabob restaurant in Ocean City, so maybe that’s the only reason this place is rated so highly—but it certainly isn’t because of the quality or service.“
