“Great place. Kelly waited on me! Terrific service, great food and reasonable prices“

“Owners were very welcoming and immediately made us feel at home. Food was so good we had to go back the next day! Will now be a must have on our vacations to OCMD“

“Great people! Traveled from NY, heard about and saw these guys on facebook and had to check them out. Absolutely well worth it and glad we did. Eat there or take with you, have them cook it or you cook it. Either way. They steamed ours up quick and had their special signature sauce on it and was ready to bring back to our balcony. Highly recommend! Thanks a lot guys.“

“We are traveling for my husband’s job and staying at the hotel across the street. We were happy to find out their special on Thursday is 25% off your entire bill. The staff was very friendly, and our server, Lucas did a wonderful job! I ordered the Fried Tomato and Crab Stack with a side of pimento cheese grits and my husband ordered the stuffed lobster tail with hush puppies, tomato cucumber salad and the shrimp gumbo. All of our food was amazing! All of the food was well seasoned. The grits and the crab imperial inside the lobster tale melted in our mouth. We had quite a bit of lump crab meat with our meals and didn’t find any shells… that’s a big pet peeve of mine! I couldn’t believe how big the stack was, we took a lot of left overs with us! Thank you everyone for a great experience!“

“I have been missing some good seafood from my country and I say let’s try this place. No regrets. The food was great, pretty laid back ambiance. Customer service was A1. Keep doing you Rusty Jimmy.“

“stopped in today to try the crab cakes. I must say they were good and I enjoyed the potatoe wedges as well. I'm a huge fan of woodys in Dewey and have to say this is very close to theirs as well. will definitely stop in again!“

“This place is awesome I would make one tiny suggestion to get a bread warmer when the bread hits the table and it's cold not great. The food was delicious and staff was fantastic. Drinks are awesome
Definitely will be back .

Parking: They have a lot but not a lot of parking lucky we got the last space they had.

Kid-friendliness: Yes children are welcome“

“Crab meat was fantastic. Service was excellent!“

“Our food was delicious, but what was also great was Colleen. She couldn’t do enough for the four of us to make our lunch 👍 great.You have a jem of a server. Lynn 1/27/24“

“We had such an amazing dinner a week ago! Everything was delicious! We had a salad with beets and smoked platter for appetizers. Our dinners were lamb chops and horseradish encrusted grouper! Highly recommend both. Service was great! Highly recommend The Grove Market!“

“our server new she was going to get a mandatory 20% tip. we spent over $500. server caught gave water pictures made all the kids serve themselves. left all the forks and spoons in the middle of the table. several of our meals were wrong. the longest wait was for our check which took 45 minutes to bring to us. I do not recommend this place. the founder would not have liked how this place became“

“They are very nice people and the Crabs are always amazing! Every time we come to OC we have to make our stop at Elliotts!“

“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.“

“While on vacation we took our daughter here for her birthday, along with a couple of her friends. Everyone there was extremely nice and friendly, but not overbearing. The food, how can I put it into words? You absolutely have to try the creamy crab soup; your tongue will be forever grateful. Crab cakes are some of the best you'll find. I had the fish tacos and all the wonderful flavors were almost overwhelming. If you are near Bethany Beach and are looking for great seafood with a nice atmosphere, I can't recommend the Blue Crab enough.“

“Delicious food, fabulous owners. Get an old fashioned, stay longer than you planned. It’s all worth it.“

“Great service, great drinks, great food!“

“You would think all you can eat fresh steamed blue crabs 🦀 would be enough…but this place also includes local sweet corn, hushpuppies and fried chicken. Plus all the dipping sides your heart desires like butter, apple cider vinegar, cocktail sauce and remoulade. Authentic crab shack vibe where they just dump the crabs on the table and give you a shell bucket and roll of paper towels. Cheap prices and a friendly staff. This place is not to be missed.“

“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.“

“Our family loves Rippons! We live locally and have supported many local businesses for steamed crabs. We have found that Rippons has the best steamed crabs! Last weekend we ordered a bushel of crabs, all were heavy, full and fresh, not one had a “paper shell” or mushy. If you have not tried Rippons for your seafood, it is well worth your business. **The Gates Family**“

“Perfect meal. Perfect service. Couldn’t ask for more. Clean, quick, tasty, selection, service. It was all phenomenal. Good price and great people. Host at front door great! Waitress Tiffany awesome. Bartender drinks perfect. Owners Matt and Brooke so nice. Great experience. Def on my fav list“

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!!!“

“Amazing food, amazing service, and the price was well worth it! Don’t sleep on this place! 🦀🤍“

They know the way to a girl’s heart!♥️ 🦀 and we happen to be here for $5 🍹margaritas day. The server was awesome and friendly! Gonna eat here one more time before we leave and grab a gift card for our kids coming next month.“

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

“Friendly place to watch a football game“

“This is a really great family restaurant and one of the few places where I find the prices to be very reasonable for parents. The games are mostly a bargain and the kids can win good prizes (claw machines on easy mode). This restaurant group keeps everyone happy at all their locations.

I wouldn’t mind a unique vegan option on the menu but that’s a niche request.“

“Waiter was awesome. Kept up on drinks and food. Very attentive.“

“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“

“Best place to in Ocean city Fenwick“

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

“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!“

“As someone who has vacationed to OC three times. We have never been to a higher end restaurant before and had no idea what to expect. The added 20 percent was a bit confusing but the food was delicious, the staff was amazing and it was a great experience for sure. I definitely didn't expect to spend what we did but it was a once in a lifetime experience for us and it was worth it for sure!“

“We dined at One Coastal over the weekend. We had four people in our party and everyone ordered a different item on the menu. Food was fantastic! I enjoyed a simple pasta dish that was the most delish meal I’ve had in years. I shared with everyone at the table and everyone loved it. My husband had the pork chop and reported that it was delicious. My daughter had the scallops and said they were perfect. Her boyfriend had the flank steak and it looked terrific. But my pasta was PERFECTION!“

“I got the cod tacos and they were incredible!! Quick service too!“

“I had the seared tuna & my better half had the Maryland crab soup with a half pound of gulf shrimp. My tuna came with mashed tators & green beans. Everything was excellent. The cream of crab soup was fantastic. Great visit & reasonable.“

“Olena is amazing!!! Busy as she was she still took care of everyone in a very timely fashion. ❤️“

“I highly recommend Yellowfins!!! The crab cakes are out of this world good!!“

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

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

“Lizzie’s is a must try! Everything is an amazing but the crab roll and Connecticut lobster rolls are our favorites. The service and hospitality is next to none. Truly one of the best eats in the area; we go at least once every trip. Give them and try you worm regret it, and be sure to tell Matt & Kathy hi!“

“my bf and I ate there during boardwalk rock festival and the atmosphere was great. the food was phenomenal and our waitress was pleasant and helpful. Will definitely go back wheen visiting from New York“

“I would like to thank, Harpoon Hannas's for taking outstanding care of our group, Corvette Annapolis stopped and had Lunch. We had two tables and we had 38 people. The service was outstanding, we were able to have separate checks. Harpoon Hannas's we will be back. Thank you for making it so easy for us.“

“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!“

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

“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.“
