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. 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!“

“Great food and fun!!! Food and drinks were fantastic, we will be back!!!!“

“Great people! Traveled from NY, heard about and saw these guys on facebook and had to check them out. Absolutely well worth it and glad we did. Eat there or take with you, have them cook it or you cook it. Either way. They steamed ours up quick and had their special signature sauce on it and was ready to bring back to our balcony. Highly recommend! Thanks a lot guys.“

“We are traveling for my husband’s job and staying at the hotel across the street. We were happy to find out their special on Thursday is 25% off your entire bill. The staff was very friendly, and our server, Lucas did a wonderful job! I ordered the Fried Tomato and Crab Stack with a side of pimento cheese grits and my husband ordered the stuffed lobster tail with hush puppies, tomato cucumber salad and the shrimp gumbo. All of our food was amazing! All of the food was well seasoned. The grits and the crab imperial inside the lobster tale melted in our mouth. We had quite a bit of lump crab meat with our meals and didn’t find any shells… that’s a big pet peeve of mine! I couldn’t believe how big the stack was, we took a lot of left overs with us! Thank you everyone for a great experience!“

“I have been missing some good seafood from my country and I say let’s try this place. No regrets. The food was great, pretty laid back ambiance. Customer service was A1. Keep doing you Rusty Jimmy.“

“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“

“This place is awesome I would make one tiny suggestion to get a bread warmer when the bread hits the table and it's cold not great. The food was delicious and staff was fantastic. Drinks are awesome
Definitely will be back .

Parking: They have a lot but not a lot of parking lucky we got the last space they had.

Kid-friendliness: Yes children are welcome“

“Delicious food, fabulous owners. Get an old fashioned, stay longer than you planned. It’s all worth it.“

“While on vacation we took our daughter here for her birthday, along with a couple of her friends. Everyone there was extremely nice and friendly, but not overbearing. The food, how can I put it into words? You absolutely have to try the creamy crab soup; your tongue will be forever grateful. Crab cakes are some of the best you'll find. I had the fish tacos and all the wonderful flavors were almost overwhelming. If you are near Bethany Beach and are looking for great seafood with a nice atmosphere, I can't recommend the Blue Crab enough.“

“Wonderful service, food is amazing and waitress Izzy was so attentive and knowledgeable“

“Love the Shanty!!… great food, service and love the vibe of the decor… awesome and peaceful water views..part time locals.. this is a favorite spot😊“

“You would think all you can eat fresh steamed blue crabs 🦀 would be enough…but this place also includes local sweet corn, hushpuppies and fried chicken. Plus all the dipping sides your heart desires like butter, apple cider vinegar, cocktail sauce and remoulade. Authentic crab shack vibe where they just dump the crabs on the table and give you a shell bucket and roll of paper towels. Cheap prices and a friendly staff. This place is not to be missed.“

“Great service, great drinks, great food!“

“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**“

“It was great as always. Lobster roll was delicious!“

“We have been here more then 4 times, always great service and great food. highly recommended !!“

“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!“

“Friendly place to watch a football game“

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

“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.“

“Long Necks very own CHEERS! *****“

“It is a nice place and clean as well.. What we had was a problem with the food and the drinks. The tea was sour and after waiting for a period of time no one came back to the table so I took it up to another sever and she happily replaced it for me. The food was a whole different thing pricey and not as good..“

“The best crab cake I’ve had in Ocean City! Can’t wait to go back!“

“Best place to in Ocean city Fenwick“

“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!“

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

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

“Lizzie’s is a must try! Everything is an amazing but the crab roll and Connecticut lobster rolls are our favorites. The service and hospitality is next to none. Truly one of the best eats in the area; we go at least once every trip. Give them and try you worm regret it, and be sure to tell Matt & Kathy hi!“

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

“Food was amazing and staff was great!! Will definitely return!!“

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

“I would like to thank, Harpoon Hannas's for taking outstanding care of our group, Corvette Annapolis stopped and had Lunch. We had two tables and we had 38 people. The service was outstanding, we were able to have separate checks. Harpoon Hannas's we will be back. Thank you for making it so easy for us.“

“We had a few meals here and the waitstaff was lovely. We had Maddie as a bartender and she was *amazing*. We also enjoyed the male bartender (sorry I forget his name). The male manager, with the short, spiky hair was a little off putting. When I wanted to give a compliment and asked if he was the manager he gave me an attitude. The bartender outside also gave a little attitude at 9 PM. But overall, we enjoyed the food and our time.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I am a local who lives down the road from Number 1 crabs… Bought some crabs today and they were (as always) the best around! Fair priced also. Roger took the time to show my son some live crabs- that made his day!! He has been talking about it the rest of the day- and is telling everyone he talks to “I got to see a LIVE crab today!!”…..Carlos also gave him a number 1 crabs sticker and what Carlos didn’t know was, my son (he’s 6) collects stickers and has a sticker mirror where he puts all of them- he came right home and added that sticker they gave him right to his collection! thanks guys!!“

“Shawn is an amazing addition to the staff. He is so friendly and full of personality. If he suggests something off the menu…..ORDER IT! You won’t be disappointed. He was attentive and he made our first visit so fun. We will definitely be back next time we are here on vacation“

“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.“

“Great menu, super staff, fun vibe“

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

“We love Tailchasers because it’s kid friendly with a great playground and good drinks! Our kids can entertain themselves playing for hours here. Highly recommend for families looking to sit and relax while the kids play!“

“My wife and I dined here one evening during the off season at Bethany Beach. This restaurant had a good variety of options for a meal, and they had a nice selection of drinks. The atmosphere was fun, and the staff was friendly. We recommend this place if you are looking for a casual restaurant for gathering with friends.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!!“

“We were outside at the gazebo bar. The female bartender (sorry I forgot her name) was very friendly and fun! We had chicken nachos which were the best I ever had. We had the special crusher of the day and that was so good. If I lived here I would be here all the time.
Judy from Pa.“
