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!“

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.“

“We went for a birthday dinner with a few friends. The food was good and reasonably priced. There were 8 people in our party and we all found plenty of choices. Three server (sorry I don't remember her name) was very friendly, thoroughly knew the menu and made excellent recommendations. We also went on a day when there was a good discount on the meal. The ONLY down side was we seated too close to the front door on a very cold and windy day.“

“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**“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The service and food were equally excellent! One of our new favorite restaurants! The waitress was amazing and knowledgeable and personable.“

“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.“

“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 💯“

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

“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! ☺️“

“Food was great. Tuna appetizer was delicious as was the salmon. My only issue was with the espresso martini. It wasn’t cold as you’d expect from being mixed in an ice shaker. Instead of espresso, it seemed more like watered-down coffee was used. It was very watery and did not have a very strong coffee/espresso taste. Reminded me of an iced coffee that sat out too long. Won’t order that again. Also, there were NO prices on the drink menu so we either had to ask about each one or just take a chance it wouldn’t cost too much.“

“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 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)“

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

“We wanted to try something local on the way home from the beach and GPS took us to Shaka Shack!!! It was soooooo good! Hit the spot for sure. The crab dip is the best I ever had!“

“We have been coming to Nicks for many years when we vacation in OCMD and we have never been disappointed. The ribs are Exceptionally Delicious and their other dishes are good as well! The staff is always friendly and attentive, so the service is top notch. We are always relaxed and comfortable…it’s such an enjoyable time! Oh, and it’s good for take-out too.“

“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!“

“The restaurant has a casual bar atmosphere. The food was very good and the staff is well trained and friendly. We had excellent wing, a huge bar pretzel with dipping sauces and a great salad. Hot food was hot cold food was cold. Everything was delicious. The manager was friendly and helpful. We will go back there when we are in the area.“

“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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
