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.

“My husband and I had a great breakfast experience, just a few minutes ago!! Great food - not a bunch of hoity-toity “foodie” fare - just simple dishes, sides, and combos that are prepared perfectly. Sahara Cafe is, now, on our “must visit” list! Staff is very friendly and super efficient. The cafe is homey and traditional, reminiscent of restaurants from my youth - that great diner feeling. Let’s talk about that giant cup o’ Joe… delicious, hot, and the size of a “FRIENDS” cup!! What?! Not having to wait for multiple refills?! That’s right. Not that you’d have to wait because their servers are very attentive and accommodating. Five stars, for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Been to the diner several times service was great and the food is is great.“

“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.“

“This place had some excellent burgers and the price was right. The wall murals surrounding the bar were top notch and interesting. Over 100 celebrities are painted on the walls. It made for an interesting and casual experience. This place sits atop the Brass Balls cafe and there is street access and boardwalk access. Parking is free as long as you are dining at either venue.“

Then "eye opener" w/ meat (2 eggs over, home fries, and a ton of bacon!) $14.99. I had the creamed chip beef w/ home fries $14.99. Both servings of home fries and of bacon were very generous!! Dryden, our server, checked on us regularly and kept our coffee hot and full. Food came fast, hot and well presented. Out total bill, before tax and tip was $40.94 for to full tummies!!!! We took a carry-out box with a muffin, home fries and bacon home!“

“As a local, I can tell you that Polock Johnny’s is a must-visit for anyone coming to the boardwalk, but it’s also a spot I’m proud to return to time and time again. It’s one of those places that never disappoints, whether you’re a tourist or a year-round resident like me.

The Polish Sausage? Hands down the best on the boardwalk. They’re always hot, delicious, perfectly seasoned and piled high with all the toppings you would want. I’m a big fan of the funnel cakes but honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The mozzarella sticks are fantastic too—crispy and golden on the outside, juicy and cheesy on the inside. It’s the perfect mix of comfort food with that classic Ocean City vibe.

What I really love about Polock Johnny’s is the consistency. Whether it’s the middle of summer or a chilly fall afternoon, the quality never wavers. The staff is always friendly, and the service is fast, which is great when you’re trying to enjoy the boardwalk without waiting in a long line. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel like a local, even if it’s your first visit.

If you’re walking the boardwalk, don’t skip Polock Johnny’s. It’s a piece of Ocean City I can always count on, and I can’t wait to grab my next order!“

“We were only there for breakfast but it was the best breakfast we had all week for sure! Service was great as well ! Highly recommend“

“Been there several times this past year since “new people” took over. Let me tell you…what an improvement! I undersatnd why there is no draft beer (going back a few years) but theres always cold cans and bottles at a good price. Food is much more upscale in appearance and taste! Reasonable priced too. Very good breakfast as well. Staff is attentive as well. Restrooms now always have toilet paper and proper hand drying facilities. And now even Trivia as well. Keep it up!!“

“We went 3/31/2025 had great food and drinks and a superb service would recommend to go their“

“We saw the 4 and a half stars and had to come. We give it a 5! BBQ wings are delicious! 18” Chicken bacon ranch pizza had lots of cheese and was wonderful. Out of the 8 pieces, we took 4 home. We will be back!“

“Run, don’t walk to this Hooters! We stopped in to get out of the rain during Oceans Calling and had the best time. Zoe is the sweetest server. Her smile is infectious and we did not want for anything while we we camped out to avoid the rain. Everyone here is so nice. You can’t go wrong. Come here!“

“amazing pizza! 10/10 def recommend this place!“

“Great atmosphere. Amazing crushes. We did not have the usual great service our last visit, but I chalk that up to “new summer help.” The blackened scallops w/ crab imperial is delicious.“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious. I had the vegan tacos and the vegan dessert. I'm in love“

“great owner and staff. food is great also!“

“We have been going to OC every July for 7+ days for decades & happened upon The Lobster Shanty last year. We know most of the great dining spots in OC but we were so happy to have found this place!! Great food & the Quahog & Scallop Chowdah is absolutely delicious!! We came from the ferry straight to The Lobster Shanty! Our waiter Vinny was the best!! Such a nice young guy, very attentive, quick, & super helpful with our questions about crabbing! He is the best! We’ll be back during our stay so I can have your awesome Lobster Roll 😋(& I can’t pass on that Chowdah!) ~The Murphy’s ~ Greenwood Lake, NY“

“We heard our favorite bartender Jen Lowe was back on Wednesdays night so we booked and extra night to be able to stop by the Shark to say Hello. Happy hour at the Shark is our favorite place to go while visiting the Ocean. This was night number 3 for us this trip and as always the food was delicious maybe better than in years past. Always fresh served hot and always with a warn friendly smile. It’s always good to go the a place that’s has a feel like “Cheer’s “ atmosphere. Where they greet you like family and make sure you leave happy and looking forward to your next visit. So visit the Shark the best food in all of Ocean City.“

“Barrett was our server. She is the best .we had crab cake and ahi tuna food was delicious. The corn on the cob was fantastic“

“I recommend coming to their happy hour. Smaller menu but great food and drink prices are very reasonable!“

“the drinks were spectacular food is better than 90% you can find on the boards everything is homeade. and the flavor and quality is definitely there to back it up great atmosphere friendly staff“

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

“The shrimp tacos are amazing“

“We happened upon this place while checking out reviews of breakfast spots. We've been by there numerous times during the OC cruises, but never tried it. We really enjoyed our breakfast there Sunday morning! I had the "goin' bananas french toast" (really good, and lots of it) and my wife had the "avocado toast", which she loved. Met the owner and had a nice chat. Good food and made fresh. Will definitely return next cruise we attend. Highly recommend.“

“Oyster Rockefeller and bacon wrapped scallops were the best! The swordfish mashed potatoes and green beans was a banger too. So glad we stopped here on our last night. Everything was so delicious!“

“Today was our first visit. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. My husband and his sister both got seafood and said it was fantastic!!!! My grilled chicken salad was very good! Our son loved his chicken tenders and applesauce. I would definitely recommend Waterman's. We will definitely be back next year when we come down for vacation. 👍“
