“Super good experience… Great service! Great food! A great variety of taste that I have not had it other similar venues. Yesterday I was my first time But will certainly not be my last“

“Dog friendly and great food. Friendly and fun atmosphere. Owner personally greeted us with biscuits for our dog Skillet.“

“We came to Kalamata Meze Bar for lunch and were very impressed with our meal. The pita was fresh from the oven, and the vegetables, fish, and cheese pastries were delicious. This is the best meal we’ve had in or near Ocean City. I will be recommending this place to all of my family and friends.“

“It's always a challenge going out for a bite to eat in OC in the off season as you never know what you are going to get. After reading reviews and looking at menus, I decided to check out Liquid Assets and what a great decision that turned out to be. Walking in alone, I was quickly greeted by Kyle and Joe at the bar and directed to an open seat at the bar. After a brief run down of the drink offerings, I asked for a beer and they recommended a local brew that did not disappoint. Before I had a chance to look at the menu, Kyle brought over a specials menu which was both amazing and overwhelming, and this was just the special menu, as the regular menu pretty much covered every palette imaginable. Interested in the 2 fish options, I asked Kyle for his recommendation and without hesitation, he suggested the Pan Seared Monkfish with which I went and He was not wrong. It came out beautifully presented and was probably the best fish dish I've experienced. Alrhough the fish was cooked perfectly, the star of the dish was how it was presented and everything else it was served with. I went out with an open mind and I was wowed by the experience. Rare do you find stellar staff and 5 star meals but on April 7th, 2025, I did in a town full of less than stellar options. Thanks to locals who care about what they do and who they work for and to Liquid Assets for making OC MD better. cheers.“

“OC Kabob is BY FAR, the absolute BEST Mediterranean restaurant in the Ocean City area! We went to the OC Kabob & Grill West (in West OC). The food was phenomenal! Presentation was fabulous and the owner himself waited on us. Wonderful experience! They had me at the pita bread and hummus! The meal was enough for two. They’ve just made us regular customers! Don’t walk, RUN to this family owned restaurant. You’ll be pleasantly surprised!“

“We just love the food and service at Rice! Food is excellent.“

“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!!“

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

“💜💜💜💜 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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious food, extremely wonderful staff. The Best place in Ocean City“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!! ““

“Excellent tacos, fajitas, burritos and margaritas! Quick service, friendly knowledgeable staff. This is officially on our list for our annual trip as a “must go!” spot!“

“The best crab cake I’ve had in Ocean City! Can’t wait to go back!“

“We like to eat here after our daughters Jui Jitsu class on Wednesday nights :-)“

“Been going here for years, this place is just a diamond in the rough. Sparkle ✨ clean on the inside and the food and drinks are out of this world. I literally don't mind going broke for here, but that's just me.

Parking: They may be very busy, but the parking lot is huge“

“The outdoor dining area was great! Our service was great, Emma was attentive and so nice. The blackened ahi tuna tacos were amazing!! Would definitely recommend 💯 our whole table was pleased with their food“

“Wonderful!!! Always good and hot!!!! Our family loves this place!!!!“

“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.“

“Food has always been good here. We sat on Bar side today. Waitress was excellent“

“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!“

“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.“

“Excellent! Just like I remembered from growing up in Miami. perfection.“

“Highly recommend BLU for your next private event. They recently hosted our high school reunion and we had a blast. Amazing service, attention to detail, delicious food, and the perfect atmosphere! Thank you BLU for a wonderful experience!“

“I have been going to Pho-Char for about 2 years on a regular basis. The owners do a phenomenal job staying on top of everything. The place is always clean, organized, and well kept.

The food is amazing. I have yet to have even a mediocre meal here. I typically always get the pho, but the fried rice is excellent, appetizers are great, and everything is always supurb.

Highly recommend this place for pho lovers. I love supporting mom and pop shops and what seems to be a husband and wife are always there working extremely hard.“

“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.“

“Went for the first time lamb biryani was delicious 😋“

“We always love our pizza but tonight called for a review! As the only server, Taylor was working really hard keeping up with an off season crowd. We really appreciate being able to get our favorite pizza with amazing service. We appreciate the staff and hard work. Taylor was the name I got but the whole crew was bustin butt together tonight. Thank you!!“

“I went here on a Wednesday night in September. It was busy, but we were seated immediately. The menu doesn’t have a wide seafood selection, but since it’s a sports bar you’ll find plenty of classic bar food like wings, burgers, and salads.
I was amazed by the crab dip with pretzels—it’s a real delicacy! (Though if you’re counting macros, you may want to pace yourself 😅). For my meal, I ordered the Chicken Imperial with Brussels sprouts. I had asked for no cheese, but it still came with provolone. Not a huge deal, but I would’ve preferred it prepared as requested.

Plus: They kindly opened their gift store just for us—thank you for that gesture! That extra touch made our night.🫶🏻“

“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.“

“First time here. We loved the options and the clean atmosphere. Our server was great!! Some of the food was cold and the oysters were a bit stuck. It was oils be great if the crab legs were endless. But all in all we will be back and we enjoyed ourselves.“

“First time there, ever, even to any 'local' Pinera Bread. We don't have any near by. Over an hour away! This area is definitely in need of a local Pinera bread!! loved it.“

“Obviously not getting a NY bagel, but it was fine as bagels go. The 3 stars is for how do you not cut bagels with cream cheese in half?? So strange. Good coffee though.“
