“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!“

“My husband and I had the pleasure of dining here as we were a Veteran family invited to Bethany Beach with Operation SEAS the Day. 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 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!“

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.“

“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 🦀“

“Food was fresh and tasted great. Really enjoyed the classic seasoning. I will say it is somewhat on the pricier side, but as a whole was a very good experience. Great for a seafood dinner with limited cleanup afterwards. Would definitely get this again!“

“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.“

“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**“

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

“Friendly place to watch a football game“

“I usually do my reviews centering on food. I understand the food is a sidecart to the entertainment. Burger obviously was frozen but was ok. Chicken tacos good. Garlic parm wings were missing 2 items. GARLIC AND PARM!. God awful plain not one drop of ingredients on them. Orange crush on point. Bartenders friendly. Families being happy. No takeover drama.“

“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 would absolutely recommend this hidden gem!💎“

“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.“

“Very good experience here!!! Food was delicious and our server Jamie B. was terrific!!! She always checked to make sure we had everything to have the best dining experience. There was a decent wait to get in the place but we did not wait as long as posted which was great!!! Definitely recommend the prime rib Mediterranean.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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! ☺️“

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

“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.“

“Was staying across the street and decided to walk over for brunch, the food and service was so good we decided to come back for dinner too! The restaurant itself is clean and beautifully decorated. We sat at the bar with no wait, McKenna makes a great drink!“

“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 🏄‍♂️“

“Our go to stop when out on our boa! Great atmosphere wonderful service and tasty food!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“5 Stars great drinks if you want the best“

“One of the best crab cakes I’ve ever tasted“

“Nori did another outstanding presentation of sushi at our local Derby event! As always the sushi was mouth watering delish! Nori always over delivers!“

“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.“

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