“One of my favorite and have to go places when I’m in ocean city. Best service, amazing food and the absolute best waffles! I would wait all day for a seat. That’s how good the food is.“

“Rhonda is by far one of the best bartenders in Ocean City. She has a great personality & this bar is one of the oldest bars in ocean city so the vibe is one of a kind. 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.“

“Such a chill, cool place to hang out when looking over the beach. Alex was so great in his recommendations. So enjoyed his rum punch today. Came with our pitbull, Lily, today. He gave her a treat and even gave us hope he made the drink we wanted so we could go back to our hotel and imbibe. Right now we are having it on our balcony, listening to beach vibe music. Thanks Alex! We will be back. : )“

“A must if you’re in Ocean City or in the Delmarva 🏄‍♂️“

“Always love to stop here for a meal or drink. Great people, great staff, great atmosphere“

“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.“

“Went to see houses of the holy, great show, great beer menu and primo hoagies aside of them.“

“Right on the bay where we had a hotel wonderful little 50-yard walk maybe always kept clean the services very friendly laid-back outdoor seating they have music like Thursday Friday Saturday. We did have a sandwich there. It was good at average prices we've gone there almost every evening just to sit back and relax play some cards and listen to music.“

“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.“

“love matt he’s so much fun and gave the best experience we literally come every time he works just to see him“

“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“

“Tracey was an amazing bartender! she was welcoming and so much fun. I'll definitely be back!“

“Went tonight for a fabulous dinner. This is the second time in a month that I brought different groups of ladies that I do needlework with, both times I’ve had the same waitress Jen G. She was absolutely fabulous to work with, friendly and professional. I highly recommend if you get here to ask for her.“

“It was a great experience at OC chopsticks, Asian Bristo“

“We love stopping here. Great staff, fun atmosphere & tasty food. Our favorite location is on the boardwalk so you can still enjoy the beach weather while dinning. The staff really makes this place in my opinion. Its a must stop bar/restaurant when we are in town. Monster margarita is just that and the burritos are HUGE. Thanks Guidos Burritos !“

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

“On Monday, August 4th, we had a party of 18 for light fare dining and drinks. Our server, Nikki, was exceptional. Professional, accommodating, super nice and was so efficient. 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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!! ““

“Lovely place. Would go again“

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

“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“

“Best steamed shrimp in OC“

“This place is a hidden gem, a little hard to find, but once we were here we enjoyed sitting outside on the sandbar, live music, and a beautiful view of the bay. The service and food was amazing. We tried the shrimp quesadilla, fish tacos, crab cake tacos, crab dip fries, and a noodle bowl with shrimp. Everything was so delicious!!! Ignore old reviews, that was not our experience at all! Give this place a try!“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing food. Fast and fresh. Mimosa flights were excellent. I had the Kings Breakfast and added chocolate chips. These were the best pancakes I have had in a while. The potatoes are unreliable. Great seasoning with posted and onions. Yuummmm. Glad we stopped here and hope to come back. Very friendly staff.“

“We spent 5 hours here Wednesday. What a cool atmosphere. Our servers were great. I can't remember our first servers name but she was great. Juan was our 2 nd server during happy hour. He was great too. The food and drinks were delicious. The music was awesome. Love that they have music all day.“

“The food and service were great!“

“The food was excellent. My food was hot, tasty, and served as ordered. Service was great, checked on table often. Live music and decor was very appalling. Someone did come around and offer to take pictures while eating, and could order if you wanted. Both inside and outside dinning available.“

“So we were on vacation and actually went here an hour before they closed. The food was hot and fresh, good portions. I got the fish tacos and they were so good with a little spice. I also got the mermaid Mojito and that was amazing. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the night air while we ate. Definitely will go back next time we are in Maryland.“

“Decided for a change this year after our usual AYCE crab spot jacked their prices by 35%. We were not disappointed. Excellent seafood and AYCE blue crab or Snow Crab. Reasonably priced. Clean and great service. On the bay in OCMD. Very attentive wait staff. Will be back.“

“Friendly Staff, good food and. nice atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Olena is amazing!!! Busy as she was she still took care of everyone in a very timely fashion. ❤️“

“Food is tasty and fresh, wine list is expansive“

“The young man managing the 18th st. Location is fantastic. Polite, courteous, accurate, and fast service. Was there at Friday the 20th and tues 24th. Great, and I am going right now. Have a nice day pizza tugos. By the way, fabulous food.“

“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.“

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

“Our bartender / waitress was outstanding. She was attentive. She was observant. And she did everything she could do to confirm that we enjoyed every aspect of our visit. Would def. visit again.“
