50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ocean City

“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.“

“Crab meat was fantastic. Service was excellent!“

“The French toast skillet is SO good. I had leftovers and it was still yummy reheated. I also love that you can add a meat as a side so I get sweet and savory.“

“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.“

“We came in on a random Tuesday night for a friends birthday. It was 17 of us, no reservation… our server Cody was absolutely FANTASTIC. We never went without a drink… our food was phenomenal. Absolutely a perfect dining experience!!“

“Most delicious filet and Korean short ribs in a friendly, down to Earth environment. Excellent, attentive service and great cocktails.“

“Hands down the BEST Italian meal we’ve ever had. We had Mozzarella in Carrozza, so delicious. My husband is a self-proclaimed veal snob and he said the veal Marsala was absolutely the best he’s had (and he’s had a lot fro over!) I had the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese. The pasta was clearly made fresh and cooked perfectly. The bolognese was so flavorful but not heavy. Portions are refreshingly sized appropriately and so completely satisfying. Generally we’re not dessert eaters, mostly due to being overfilled by oversized portions. Ordering dessert from Ristorante Antipasti was a forgone conclusion. I don’t know which was better, the Chocolate Lover’s cake or the Vanilla Butter Cake. Been coming to Ocean City for years and this was our first visit to this restaurant and now tops the list of favorites. Loved everything about it, atmosphere was relaxed but elegant, met the owner who was delightful and appreciative. Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“just ordered a bunch of food from them again and as always great service (Lori Leigh)was super pleasant and patient as well as the guys in the back on the go and making it happen :) and accommodating,even when they are busy and dealing with a bunch of grumps or impatient people they remain polite and go out of their way to make the customers happy. the crabs and the rest of the food were great as always. never have had a bad meal even though it happens at places sometimes these guys and gals have always been super generous with their gratitude as well as portions. great specials too 🩵 thankyou for the wonderful hospitality“

“Dumser’s definitely has a retro, throw-back feel to it. The service was very friendly, prices are reasonable, and the servings are large. However, the I’ve cream itself was a bit of a let down. The peanut butter fudge was not very flavorful, and the mint Oreo was ok. But both were pretty icy and not very creamy. Though the soft serve did look very good. With so many other options in the area, we would probably look elsewhere next time.“

“Best pizza in Ocean City. They never disappoint . We've also had the burgers and tacos which are also great. Pizza Boy is our go to place for lunch everyday we are on the beach“

“I want to thank everyone at Bird Dog Tavern, especially Donnie and Ella for a delicious dinner, loved the music and like everytime we go fantastic service !!!! If you haven’t tried the Brussels sprouts app,you have to try it now! My two other favorites are the smash burger and most recently the crab balls!! I want to thank Donnie for the last 5 pounds I gained because of the delicious bread pudding!! The service there made us feel like royalty!“

“Say it with me “ah-sign-ee” Pablo’s is a MUST when in OC.“

“It was our first time at this restaurant last Saturday and it did not disappoint. We ordered the blue crab legs for starters & my boys enjoyed it. The crab cake platter came with 2 cakes, delicious green beans & mashed potato. My youngest son & I had the NY strip, we loved it! It was a busy Saturday evening but despite the crowd, we were sat within 15 mins. Our server was great as well. Over all a great experience & we will definitely come back.“

“Good quality ice cream with many options. They also have Nerds!!!“

“We love Tailchasers because it’s kid friendly with a great playground and good drinks! Our kids can entertain themselves playing for hours here. Highly recommend for families looking to sit and relax while the kids play!“

“The absolute best breakfast reastrant in ocean city maryland!!! Its amazing when you find the reastrant owner evan more amazing than the food!!! Rodney“

“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“

“We had a great time here. As non-residents you have to find your own parking spot then you can pay at the pool to get in which gets you pool and bathroom and beach access with a waitress at the pool or the bar/restaurant super close. Alcohol drinks are available at poolside as well. Incredible service by Rachel our server. Really quite a lovely experience overall. You can’t see the ocean from the pool due to the dunes, but you can see the ocean from the bar, and it’s a short walk from the pool to the ocean.“

“Outstanding food. Outstanding presentation. Super friendly staff. I have found my new sushi haunt!“

“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!“

“We are never disappointed at Cafe Mirage!! Whether we try the daily specials or the menu staples, the food is delicious, consistent, and the portions are amazing!! You will not leave hungry or dissatisfied!! What makes this place exceptional though, is the staff and the vibe. You are going to be met with smiling faces and be treated like a local. You’d be amiss to not experience this wonderful, family friendly local spot yourself!!!“

“💜💜💜💜 the açaí bowls! My husband had the regular one this morning and I got the Pineapple Express. Amazing!!! Quick friendly service. Very nice young man. Love the stickers they sell, too. I bought the awesome creative one in the attached pic with our açaí bowls! We’ll be back! Highly recommend!“
