50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Ocean View

“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.

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!“

“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 🦀“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“Excellent food and drinks with a great atmosphere“

“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 love this restaurant. The food has been upgraded and the service is friendly and accommodating. My husband & I have a group of Happy Hour friends that we frequent Seaside almost every Friday. Going tonight for Date Night.“

“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!“

“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!“

“5 Stars great drinks if you want the best“

“I came for dinner and ordered the fresh tuna and it was delicious, cooked perfectly. The cucumber sauce was a nice touch and the vegetables were crisp and not saturated with oils or butter. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, and I will be back.“

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

“Love his energy, his generosity, his crabs and his cooking style!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“The Station is absolutely beautiful — the entire place is decorated so well, and I loved all the little details. Unfortunately, the food was just okay, which was a bit of a bummer. I ordered their brunch special, a grilled cheese with tomato soup. The soup seemed microwaved, as it was very hot on top but cold on the bottom. For $16, that was disappointing.

Our bartender was also our server and seemed distracted and not very attentive. The service overall wasn’t great. However, the front manager was amazing. He could tell something was off with my dish, corrected it immediately, and took it off the bill. I truly hope the owners never lose him as an employee — he’s amazing and made a real difference in our experience.

I understand the restaurant is under new ownership and has only been open a short time. With such a beautiful space and a great front manager, I’m optimistic about its potential and would be happy to give it another try soon.“

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

“Thank you for having your mobile stand in Tennessee. In my 54 years of life, I’ve NEVER had a burger as delicious as the one I got. I plan to try your other meal options whenever I see the truck. If the burger was that awesome, I have no doubt that the rest of the menu will be just as amazing. I hope to see you at Portobello ALOT more, you will definitely have my business 💯“

“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! ☺️“

“The service was good. Cameron did a great job. crabs was as good as can be expected for this time of year. They even tolerated us there past closing(sorry about that you all)“

“Last Friday, my wife and I went to the paradise pub for dinner. I have to say, the service was extremely outstanding. Every time one of the waitresses that past our table , asked if we needed something or if everything was OK. They were all extremely attentive, especially one of the managers Kristen, I believe. I think Paradise pub should be extremely proud of the staff. The food was delicious. My wife loved her cheesesteak, and I enjoyed the flounder pounder, immensely. I highly recommend this place for its fun atmosphere.“

“The entire space is so gorgeous and cozy AND the food is delicious. Understatement of the year. We also had the magical Kendall who was patient, attentive, and beyond kind while running around the entire dining room. We can't wait to come back! 15/10“

“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 had our Thanksgiving meal here this year 2025. It was fantastic. We had all of our holiday favorites plus there was a charcuterie table that was one of the best I’d ever enjoyed. They were very busy for the holiday and handled that immaculately!“

“why aren't any current reviews“

“Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Nachos and Tsunami are the best in town. Always a great time when we stop in and see our friends..more like family ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I lived in NYC for years. As a result, I was fortunate enough to have access to some of the freshest seafood in the world. I cook a lot -- and I'm really, really picky when it comes to buying fish. And let me tell you...this place has the freshest / best in the area. The salmon and halibut are standouts -- but I've never had even a mediocre piece of fish from this place. Five stars and two thumbs up.“

“Been here 16 years and since our family loves Chinese Food, we have tried every place in Southern Delaware. Panda is hands-down the best. The food is great, it is fresh, and the staff is very friendly.“

“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.“

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

“This is hands down the number one Chinese place. The orange chicken is the most flavorful and natural tasting, none of that fake stuff. The chicken is so fresh and all white meat. The wonton soup is so good. The customer service is great and has a real family-oriented feel. It’s super fast, and the food quality is always top-notch. They even gave us a nice, high-quality calendar with our meal. Definitely a place we go to every time we’re in Ocean City.

Ps the containers were filled to the brim the pictures were taken after I started eating!“

“Greeted by the manager, Mike and quickly served. didn't have to wait for long to get.the BEST watermelon crush! ($9!!) Fresh pureed watermelon and not short on vodka! The tuna nachos were FULL of fresh tuna. We also enjoyed the chefs special curry salmon and shrimp over linguine. Carley Twigg was playing guitar on the patio. 10/10 evening!“
