“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Our go-to when in town!! seated quickly. Coffee came quickly and we were not rushed to order. We had a cheese Danish ($3.99) to start. 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!“

“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.“

“40 years of loving these fries. Thrasher’s French Fries during the day and Dumser’s ice cream later for dessert.“

“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!“

“Had a private birthday party for roughly 25-30 people on Sunday 9/14. Cody and all staff were super accommodating, helpful, and great to work with. The food is excellent, too! Will definitely be going back. The whole experience was wonderful and such a perfect night.“

“The coolest little spot very cute, and atmosphere very authentic and counter service ♥️🥰“

“We visited this restaurant last night and were thoroughly impressed by our server, Hannah. Her exceptional politeness, friendliness, and constant smile made our dining experience truly enjoyable. We’re already planning to return to see her again! As always, the wings were delicious.“

“The pizza and sausage were absolutely amazing! Fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sausage had great seasoning and the pizza was crispy with plenty of toppings. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Highly recommend! And one of the best customer service 🙏🙏🙏🙏“

“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!!“

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

“Great local establishment.
Big, clean, and bright. Can get a little noisy, depending on when you go. Vibe is kinda farm-like.

Went for 1st time on a weekday for lunch. Not very crowded at all.
Excited to try beer and food.
Service was initially meh...server brought us past all empty tables and booths to far back corner next to bathrooms/kitchen door?
She then seemed annoyed when we asked to have a different table.
New table, new server who was very upbeat and friendly.
Everything was great. Food was outstanding! Beer flight good to very good. They mixed up the beers I asked for, but made it right.
Definitely looking forward to returning! Heard desserts are amazing, too!“

“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.“

“Just had a great Sunday breakfast at OVR. Great food, great service seated at the counter. I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“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.“

“We live down the street and, although we wouldn’t consider ourselves “regulars”, we’ve made Riverside our go-to spot for good food, good times, and friendly faces.“

“What a great show on NYE! Fuzz Box Piranha nailed it!! The female bar tender was amazing and made me a mocktail based off of one of the available cocktails. Being alcohol free has its drawbacks in taste when going to bars with friends. Thank you for a great evening.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough amazing things about Fishtails! My son and his father recently ate here while visiting Ocean City, and after he came back home to St. Mary’s County, we realized his phone had been left behind. When I called the restaurant, not only did they confirm they had it, but the manager, Johnny, immediately offered to send it back to us. He asked for my address and shipped it straight to our home — no charge, no hassle, no questions asked. In a world where good customer service is hard to find, this went above and beyond anything I could have expected. This level of kindness, honesty, and genuine care for customers is rare, and it speaks volumes about the type of people who run this restaurant. Even though we live hours away, they treated us like locals and family. Thank you so much, Johnny and the team at Fishtails, for going the extra mile — you’ve earned a lifelong fan in me, and we’ll be sure to visit every time we’re back in Ocean City. 🌊🐟💙 From my son: “I really enjoyed my time at fish tales,the food is great,service is also great,and I even left my phone there 4 hours away and they shipped it without any trouble. This is a really a good place, I would 100% recommend!! ““

“First time here and I can’t say enough about the food and service! Everything was great! Will definitely be going back! FYI the kids menu was also great!“

“This restaurant its the best in Ocean City it will be forever in my heart . I worked there for 3 years and i can only say from serving to food and lets not forget about the view 😍. Shoutout to Adam he s the one behind every dish , and also to Sean for managing and making a great job . Miss you all.
Chef , Mr.Fabian .“

“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“

“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.“

“best boat ride ever! went with 4 kids and 3 adults and had so much fun“

“My buddy took me to the yacht club on Saturday. I really didn’t know what to expect but wow. Place is awesome. Great views. Great outdoor bar and band (weather permitting). Staff was great. Bartender Kylie and I got in a funny haggling match as I was gonna change my order but stuck with the burger and she was right, it was amazing. Top 5 burgers I’ve ever had. Thanks Kylie! Coming back for them shrimp tacos next time I’m down OP!“

“40 years of loving these fries. Thrasher’s French Fries during the day and Dumser’s ice cream later for dessert.“
