50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Ocean Pines

“This place has amazing bagels! We visit Assateague Island in the summer from West Virginia. We ALWAYS plan a stop here for breakfast during our stay. They’re always super busy but the service is great!“

“We went to see a friend's band (Back To The Beach - Excellent) and have dinner. The food was good and was there in good time, considering how busy the place was. Our server, Kristal, was awesome though very busy. We knew it would be busy, so we expected what we got. Our only gripe was, they only allow a 2 hour limit on the table. They told us up front and they allowed us a longer time, but they eventually ask us to vacate the table but said we could take the chairs so we could continue watching the show. Been here befits and we'll be back.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 !!!!

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!“

“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!!“

“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!!“

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

“Always stop on our way into OC and first night is feast night. OUTSTANDING crabs as always!“

“Been coming here for years (even when it read a tackle shop!) and it's always perfect. Definitely one of my favorite places when I'm in Fenwick Island visiting my parents. The scallops are always the best!!!!“

“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“

“Crab meat was fantastic. Service was excellent!“
