Amazing options and everything was good from the brisket chili and the chorizo burger to the French fries and assortment of sauces. Food presentation was spot on. If I wasn't so hungry, I would've gotten pics.“

“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.“

“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.“

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.“

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 !“

“Best Shrimp Salad Thank You! 😋“

“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!! ““

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Great place, but the DJ spoil it. My husband and I celebrating our anniversary both of us from the Caribbean. I did my research before I came, this was supposed to be the Caribbean spot... the DJ need a damn BIG stone , ONLY a set of house ,club music played !!!!!! Disappointeddddd... really. Which part is Caribbean 😩. Was he trying to send us back to our hotel, because he purely emptied the place at 11:30p.“

“Lovely place. Would go again“

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

“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.“

“We where down this past weekend for my daughter's cheer competition. It was our first time at your restaurant and Jason made it great! He made us feel like family and was probably one of the best servers we have ever had. We will be back next year to see him.😀“
