It is a great place to stop if you have never been here, I promise it will not disappoint. My drink never went dry, great customer service 5 star. Thank you Rhonda for everything this will definitely be a bar we come to each time we are in town thanks to you.“

“This is my favorite place to relax in Ocean City. Drinks are ok. Service is always excellent. Food is... there if you need it. The atmosphere is perfect - tiki bar, pool, and live music. If you're looking for a day drinking spot, The Caribbean Pool bar is the best in OC.“

“We had dinner on the top deck of the restaurant and the view was spectacular of the Bay. My husband ordered the biggest soft shell crab sandwich that we've ever seen and I ordered the crab imperial which was huge and all crab meat, no filler. Both meals were excellent. Our waiter, Dallas, was super nice and very attentive. We would recommend this restaurant highly“

Our food was delivered timely and everyone was pleased with the quality and temperature of the menu items ordered. Not an easy task for such a large party and on a very busy night. Drinks orders were also served timely and were delicious. Thank you Thomas, Nikki and staff for a wonderful evening.“

“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!“

“great place great staff . Chicken cheese steak best in ocmd“

“Best steamed shrimp in OC“

“Would definitely go back again for the food! Fresh & timely. I like to eat in the bar section but the people I was with preferred the dining area due to the volumn of the music being played in the bar...however, it was a Saturday night and fun was had by all in that section.
Prices very reasonable.“

“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.“

“The food and service were great!“

“We can't say enough abiut this place! We went the forst time to see a band who plays in the nightclub and occasionally on the beach stage. We were hooked from the very first visit! The atmosphere, food, drinks, servers, wait staff, support staff, bartenders, and peace officers are all amazing! If you've never been, I highly suggest you try to get here and take time to enjoy the food (the jerk chicken cheesesteak is my fav!), the drinks offered at the many conveniently located bars, the beach stage, and the nightclub!“

“We visited Dead Freddie’s on New Years Eve with our family - we had a group of 8. Our server Kyleigh was wonderful and patient with our kids. We have actually had her a few times over the summer and she is the best server we’ve had in Ocean City thus far!!!

Rated Atmosphere as 3 because every time our server came to our table, her manager was soon to follow. This felt overbearing and unnecessary our server did just fine.

I recommend if you go to Dead Freddie’s to get the fried mozzarella and crab dip appetizers!!“

“I was coming off the beach and wasn’t feeling well a young lady on vacation with her family stopped to help me. We got to the steps of Lennys and asked them to get me some water. The sweetest waitress helped me to the bathroom and offered to wait for me. Your guest waited at the foot of the steps and watched my belongings. I didn’t catch either of their names and other staff could have been involved I was pretty dizzy and not feeling well at all. I just want you to know how awesome your staff is and will always be thankful. I live in NC and visit my mother here every summer and will continue to visit Lennys yearly. This happened today Aug 23, 2022 3-4 pm. Thank you again to the sweetest, kindest waitress!“

“Mother's has an amazing happy hour and perfect atmosphere. The soft shell tacos rock. I'll always come here when I visit ocmd. Kelly is an awesome bartender, and I appreciate all the staff here for being so friendly and attentive.“
