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.“

“Delicious Breakfast and Wonderful Hospitality! My family and I were in Ocean City helping a relative move back to Wisconsin, and we stayed at the beautiful Hyatt Oceanview Resort. My daughter and I decided to try a breakfast spot on the Ocean City Boardwalk and found Crepe Daddy — and we’re so glad we did! The food and service were both amazing, but what really made the experience special was meeting Ben, the owner. His kindness, genuine personality, and personal touch made us feel so welcome. We had a great conversation with him that truly made our trip memorable. We can’t wait to come back with the rest of our family so they can meet Ben and enjoy his delicious breakfast menu and lattes. It’s definitely a must-visit spot when you’re in Ocean City!“

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!!!“

“In from Pittsburgh on vacation. Food was incredible and the staff was a little hard to understand but very attentive and the place just rocked it out.“

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

“We were staying a few blocks away and found this place while walking the avenue. We went the night before leaving OC and were sorry we hadn't found it sooner or else we would have been back. The place was busy for a Saturday night, and we went about 5pm and were able to take advantage of the happy hour until 6pm. We were seated upstairs right away and had drinks and appetizers to start. the entrees came shortly after, and all was good! The server (Tenijah) was great! She had a great personality, a nice smile and checked on us the whole time we were there. She actually told us that she had only been there a couple of weeks, which we found hard to believe because she was excellent. She also told us that you are open all year .We will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“the drinks were spectacular food is better than 90% you can find on the boards everything is homeade. and the flavor and quality is definitely there to back it up great atmosphere friendly staff“

“💜💜💜💜 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!“

“My family had a great experience tonight. We sat outside for dinner. The fish and chips were excellent. My husband loved the barbecue chicken and the kids enjoyed all of the options for kids meals to choose from.“

“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“

“We heard our favorite bartender Jen Lowe was back on Wednesdays night so we booked and extra night to be able to stop by the Shark to say Hello. Happy hour at the Shark is our favorite place to go while visiting the Ocean. This was night number 3 for us this trip and as always the food was delicious maybe better than in years past. Always fresh served hot and always with a warn friendly smile. It’s always good to go the a place that’s has a feel like “Cheer’s “ atmosphere. Where they greet you like family and make sure you leave happy and looking forward to your next visit. So visit the Shark the best food in all of Ocean City.“
