“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 🦀“

“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**“

“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.“

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

“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 💯“

“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!“

“Had our first visit to Lobster Shanty yesterday. Definitely WILL NOT be our last ! Food,staff and atmosphere were outstanding. Portions and price very reasonable. Highly recommend !“

“The service was great, the food was great, period. Other places should take notes, this is how an oyster fritter sandwich is done. It was light and crispy with plenty of oysters. The fritter takes up the whole slice of bread. This sandwich is a good deal at $12. I have to warn you though, get there early, they sell out pretty quickly and when you try one, you will understand why. If you love oysters, give this place a try. You won't regret it.“

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

“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.“

“If you haven't tried the crab dip your missing out on a great appetizer. The chips that are with it are also very good. Today the steamed shrimp was awesome. Easy to eat flavor point on and amazing. Good job Shrimp boys.“

“Definitely recommend!!! Courtney was out waitress, and she was AWESOME!! We had the crabby pretzel, bang bang shrimp and the AYCE crabs!!! 10/10!!!“

“Our server, Madison, took on our large party of 14 for a special occasion. From start to finish she made sure the details were seen to despite a full restaurant and a hiccup in seating. She carefully orchestrated each person's meal down to last minute changes and boxed desserts to go. She turned what could've been a disastrous evening into a wonderful and smooth dinner party. Many of our party had never tried Carrabba's and left excited to visit again. Thank you Madison and staff!“

“Cedar Land & Sea Kitchen is the best kept secret in the Eastern Shore. The bar is also fantastic.“

“We stopped at Reel Inn on a whim because the weather was too beautiful not to sit outside, and it ended up being our favorite meal of the trip! Tucked bayside in the Harbour Island Association complex, the vibe was lowkey with a gorgeous view. Our server Natalie was super friendly, and everything we ordered was excellent, the mozzarella sticks were classic but perfectly cooked, the Assawoman combo (scallops, shrimp, and tuna bites) was outstanding, the chicken sandwich had amazing sauce, the fries were hot, the coleslaw was delicious, and the drinks were great. Truly a wonderful night, and we’d absolutely go back.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!! ““

“My favorite place to grab a snack on the boardwalk! Foods always good, and is served fast.“

“This is my favorite restaurant in the entire United States. I’m a career bodyguard who has been in the security sector for 13 years.

“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.“

“The portions are great! Loved the interior! Reservation for 7 no problem getting one on a Saturday night. Service was first class!“

“Great service and food!!!“

“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.“

“If I could give this place 6 stars I would. Starting off with the food, I split a steamer delight and it was some of the best seafood I had, so fresh and seasoned perfectly. My server was Isaiah and he was the coolest dude I’ve met in OC. He was chill funny and great to talk to. If I ever come back to Ocean city I’m eating out here, but I might take a trip just to go here again.“

“Our Go To place on the bay in OC MD-always a great time, best staff, food, drinks and the view in incredible. Nautical style with class and a great fun crowd!! Stop in you'll love it. Highly Recommend- Mark Hozey“

“An excellent seafood restaurant!! First time there and we’re blown away!!! Great job, Blu!!“

“This place is awesome. Great food every time“

“We had a wonderful time with Maddie S as our server. Maddie provided wonderful service and was very helpful. During our meal, I took a walk around the dock when suddenly I slipped and fell into the bay!!! Maddie rushed to my rescue and attempted to pull me out when a shark appeared!! Maddie bravely defended me against the raging shark, striking it in the nose warding off the beast!!! 5 stars would come again!“

“We were an hour late with our reservation, but they still let us come; even though they were closing in a half hour. Food and service were excellent! We’ll definitely be back next time we come down to OC!!“
