“As someone who has vacationed to OC three times. We have never been to a higher end restaurant before and had no idea what to expect. The added 20 percent was a bit confusing but the food was delicious, the staff was amazing and it was a great experience for sure. I definitely didn't expect to spend what we did but it was a once in a lifetime experience for us and it was worth it for sure!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Amazing service and delicious food. It is a must visit every year during our family beach vacation. I highly recommend the hot crab roll and the crab cake! Don’t pass on the chocolate chip cookies either!”

“Had a mom-daughter date tonight and we loved everything right down to the fantastic service (thank you, Juliana!). I have been coming here for many years and it honestly never disappoints, but I had to take the time to post a recommendation- particularly since Juliana provided such good service.”

“Highly recommend. Picked up our boil for two and added extra shrimp to our order. One of the best boils we’ve had. Will definitely order again when coming back to ocean city!!”

“I had a great Italian hoagie, and I can’t wait to come back next year, and try more items! It’s modest from the outside, but the inside is so cute! Huge menu, and extra snacks and treats available, and there’s a tiny bar and tables, along with a full selection of beer and wine. Even some groceries. Really cool place!”

“10/10 period. Great sushi, great server and great people. All around a satisfying experience. Call ahead for reservations because it's a small eatery and tables/bar seating go fast!”

“Dog friendly and great food. Friendly and fun atmosphere. Owner personally greeted us with biscuits for our dog Skillet.”

“Sorry I waited so long. I got their cheeseburger and it’s awesome! Fries are included and they are crisp, tasty and a properly sized order as a side. I highly recommend Grilliez!”

“We found this gem while walking to dinner one night and tried coffee and breakfast the next morning. Let me tell you. This is by far the best coffee I have ever had in my entire life. For real. Breakfast was really good to. I’m so sad we leave today and I can’t have this coffee anymore.”

“Super good experience… Great service! Great food! A great variety of taste that I have not had it other similar venues. Yesterday I was my first time But will certainly not be my last”

“It’s a nice diner but they have one dumb rule. All over the country no one has to sign up for a solo seat at the counter. You walk in and you grab a seat. Not at this place. I just watched Owner kicked out a local & told him he had to wait even though there was no one waiting for the counter. Seat sat empty for 8 min. Everyone at the counter thought this was a dumb rule even the staff. Counter seats fill up you don’t need a sign in sheet for those. Such bad business. #1 because it’s a dumb rule #2 because now the local that eats there 4 times a week is now done with the diner which they will need in the off season months. “Dumb””

“It's always a challenge going out for a bite to eat in OC in the off season as you never know what you are going to get. After reading reviews and looking at menus, I decided to check out Liquid Assets and what a great decision that turned out to be. Walking in alone, I was quickly greeted by Kyle and Joe at the bar and directed to an open seat at the bar. After a brief run down of the drink offerings, I asked for a beer and they recommended a local brew that did not disappoint. Before I had a chance to look at the menu, Kyle brought over a specials menu which was both amazing and overwhelming, and this was just the special menu, as the regular menu pretty much covered every palette imaginable. Interested in the 2 fish options, I asked Kyle for his recommendation and without hesitation, he suggested the Pan Seared Monkfish with which I went and He was not wrong. It came out beautifully presented and was probably the best fish dish I've experienced. Alrhough the fish was cooked perfectly, the star of the dish was how it was presented and everything else it was served with. I went out with an open mind and I was wowed by the experience. Rare do you find stellar staff and 5 star meals but on April 7th, 2025, I did in a town full of less than stellar options. Thanks to locals who care about what they do and who they work for and to Liquid Assets for making OC MD better. cheers.”

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

“This place reminds me of my mom’s cooking! 🎉🥰 loveeee”

“My wife and I had dinner on Friday night. We did have reservations and glad we did because it was packed. I had the seafood diavolo and my wife had chicken cacciatore. Food was hot, perfectly done, and great presentation. Portions are generous. The past is freshly made and cooked perfectly!! Enjoyed talking with Vincenzo, the owner. We will return.”

“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.”

“We loved the atmosphere and the view. The bar was great with an upscale vibe.”

“Great small coffee shop! Plus the added bonus of the other shops to walk around in! Iced caramel latte is very good! One of the best i have had! Highly recommend going here if you love coffee!”

“We stopped in at PopCe’s on a whim while visiting the area - thank goodness it popped up on our search when the mood for ice cream struck. We are big fans of local businesses and homemade ice cream, and this was absolutely some of the best ice cream we’ve ever eaten!! The flavors run from traditional to seasonally unique. We tried the cookie dough, coconut, lemon Oreo (not to be missed!), blueberry dairy free, and butter pecan. Each one was a hit. We also had a chance to talk with the owner — he couldn’t have been any more welcoming and pleasant. You will definitely enjoy this gem.”

“I had my first delicious experience this past weekend, and ohhhhh my goodness, your chicken kabobs are FABULOUS!!! Tender, juicy and full of flavor!! 😋🫶”

“So glad we decided to try Munchies Grill. We will definitely be back and spreading the word. Delicious food! Classic Cheesesteak was the best Philly Steak down this way...with that Cheese Whiz! Fair prices and fast, friendly delivery!”

“Disappointing Experience Unfortunately, this place did not meet expectations. The portions were very small for the high price, and to make matters worse, no sauces are included—you have to pay $2.50 for each one! I won’t be returning. The value just isn’t there. On top of that, when I shared my feedback, the owner was confrontational and dismissive instead of listening and taking my concerns seriously. To make things worse, other employees appeared to be laughing at me or the situation, which is just plain disrespectful and disgusting. As for the food—it was bland and just not good. The rice was the first thing I tried, and it was bad right away. I followed that with a small bite of chicken, hoping it might be better, but it was also completely lacking in flavor. I couldn’t eat any more after that. Overall, not a good experience. It’s genuinely baffling how this place has a 4.7-star rating on Google Reviews. There’s only one other supposed kabob restaurant in Ocean City, so maybe that’s the only reason this place is rated so highly—but it certainly isn’t because of the quality or service.”

“Best breakfast in fenwick island!!!!!!!”

“I just had the best chicken sandwich with cheese I’ve ever eaten and my wife really enjoyed the pork sandwich with cheese. I’m very picky about my food and almost never write reviews. I highly recommend eating the food at Lili’s Place. Incredible Lunch. Thanks!”

“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!”

“Really great burritos, generous portions If you’re in Ocean City and you love Mexican food this is a spot you don’t wanna miss 🔥❤️”

“After years of visiting Fenwick, last week we were fortunate enough to find Ocean Side when we had a pizza craving! We admittedly are Pennsylvania pizza snobs and weren’t disappointed with our selection of mushroom and pepperoni. We had the pleasure of having the opportunity to share conversation with the friendly and congenial owner and will definitely be back during our next trip to Fenwick Island. We would recommend you pass by the big name pizza shops up the coast and give Ocean Side Fenwick a visit. We believe you won’t be disappointed and are certain they will welcome and appreciate you.”
