35 Best Seafood Restaurants in Ocean City

“Highly recommend. Picked up our boil for two and added extra shrimp to our order. One of the best boils we’ve had. Will definitely order again when coming back to ocean city!!“

“Best Crabs in OC! I said what I said! I love this place in spring or summer never disappoints!“

“Amazing food,cocktails and service. Paul was very attentive and wanted to make sure that everything that we needed and wanted was delivered. I cannot express how fresh and amazing each item we got danced around our taste buds. We have decided that this was the best cream of crab soup that we have ever indulged in. And quite possibly this will be our go to restaurant when we come down to Ocean City. This makes an amazing day trip from Dover to have a beautiful meal on the boardwalk overlooking the water. We also had the house salad, a frozen cocktail, and of course, an orange crush! For the price, ambience, quality of food, and excellent service. I feel like our money was well spent this day. (We came back the following week with family. I was bragging about the floating crab meat on the soup. Unfortunately it depends on the chef if you will be treated like this. I just wanted to set up proper expectations in case you do not get the same chef.)“

“So happy we stopped in for the first time leaving our place in OC. The food was awesome and the service. we will return soon“

“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.“

“We come to Hoopers every year for bike week and summer vacation and we’re never disappointed. Love the food, the view and the people.“

“The Maryland crab soup is the best I have ever had ! The Sunday night crab cake special was delicious - crab cakes - all limp and fries - yum !“

“First time here and I can’t say enough about the food and service! Everything was great! Will definitely be going back! FYI the kids menu was also great!“

“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“

“The man took me for my birthday the other day during happy hour around 4:30-5pm. The restaurant was super empty and we were there for about n hour in a half total and in that time only a few ppl came in to eat at the that time. Service was great. Our server was very on point and sweet and made sure we didn’t need for anything the entire time. The food was absolutely delicious!! The pretzel appetizer was sooo good! It’s the cheese it comes with that really makes it sooo good! And you get a small pitcher filled to the very top with the drink that you order! You definitely get your moneys worth! They also have a huge salt water tank that separates the dining area from the arcade area with a huge sheep’s head fish and three new baby sharks and some other little fish inside. I heard that for a dollar you can either feed the fish or they will feed them. I’m not 100% sure. The night I went was a Tuesday night and they had bowling that night on special. They have these smaller bowling lanes with smaller pins and little bowling balls that fit in the palm of your hand. About 6 lanes I believe. We went to do the bowling but after eating and drinking we were just too full. They have tons of arcade games including a really big 3D virtual reality game thing that actually looks really fun. The prices are very reasonable for a tourist town. Definitely a must go if you are ever in the area!! Totally worth it!!“

“My flounder with a crabcake was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Highly recommend this little gem in OC.“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing! I sent my 2 sons who are 16!! They had a blast! The crew was so helpful and kept checking on my boys! Captain Chris was so nice and kind! The 2 Mates Philomena and Steve were great and kept making sure the boys were ok and kept helping them as needed! They will definitely go again!!!!! Such a great experience for them!!!“

“The best service, crabcakes, and AYCE seafood in OC. This place is the bomb. Keep doing exactly what you're doing! Keep the prices affordable and you'll outlast all of the other inferior competitors. Definitely my go-to, happy place to eat!“

“The food here was great.“

“Amazing service and delicious food. It is a must visit every year during our family beach vacation. I highly recommend the hot crab roll and the crab cake! Don’t pass on the chocolate chip cookies either!“

I’ve been to close to all 50 US states and this restaurant tops the list! Kurt the Manager is one of the best humans you could ever encounter in your lifetime!

“Our server, Madison, took on our large party of 14 for a special occasion. From start to finish she made sure the details were seen to despite a full restaurant and a hiccup in seating. She carefully orchestrated each person's meal down to last minute changes and boxed desserts to go. She turned what could've been a disastrous evening into a wonderful and smooth dinner party. Many of our party had never tried Carrabba's and left excited to visit again. Thank you Madison and staff!“

“Definitely recommend!!! Courtney was out waitress, and she was AWESOME!! We had the crabby pretzel, bang bang shrimp and the AYCE crabs!!! 10/10!!!“

“Rhino Chasers, Ahi Guac, Vermicious Knid pizza. Would I recommend. Absolutely. So good. The portions are generous. We finished the fries and gauc, and could only down one slice of pizza. So full. And the happy hour Sangria was wonderful as well. Glad I finally got to try this place. Go early for immediate seating.“

“Oysters casino were banging. Rockfish with the crabcake was amazing. No kids coloring crayon option but did have a jungle gym on the beach. Our waiter was awesome (Asia). Bit expensive but the beach was a great atmosphere. Inside was cool and clean. Would highly recommend.“

“Great food...great service ... great atmosphere“

“Oyster Rockefeller and bacon wrapped scallops were the best! The swordfish mashed potatoes and green beans was a banger too. So glad we stopped here on our last night. Everything was so delicious!“

“An excellent seafood restaurant!! First time there and we’re blown away!!! Great job, Blu!!“

“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.“

“My favorite place to grab a snack on the boardwalk! Foods always good, and is served fast.“

“Where I dive into Ocean City’s finest Cioppino.“

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

“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.“

“So many options to pick from on the menu. Kayla our waitress was one of the best we had all week. All the food came out quick, and drinks never went empty. Added this to our list of must stops when we are in town.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Just paid my first visit to Coins, and it definitely won't be my last! The service was friendly, the food was great, (try the Chesapeake burger!!!) the portions were large, the atmosphere & music was great!“

“The portions are great! Loved the interior! Reservation for 7 no problem getting one on a Saturday night. Service was first class!“

“Our Go To place on the bay in OC MD-always a great time, best staff, food, drinks and the view in incredible. Nautical style with class and a great fun crowd!! Stop in you'll love it. Highly Recommend- Mark Hozey“
