We got gelaties and custard.

-4 flavors of water ice & 2 flavors for custard…chocolate and vanilla.

It’s CASH ONLY.

Water ice is chunky and not like a Rita’s but still good! It works for a quick treat.”

“I brought my 3 generational family (party of 8) for our nice family meal, along with my service dog. We had a fantastic experience! First, we got there around 4:45, and unknowingly found out that you get a free side salad and drink if seated before 5pm. This cut about $25 off the bill, which was a blessing! The food was good and the atmosphere fantastic. At the end, we chatted with the owner, Mr Giuseppe, and even got to take a family pic of 8 with him outside the restaurant. Thank you so much for such a great family meal!”

“We had an excellent seafood lunch - stuffed shrimp & Grouper. Highly recommend the fresh seafood. We stopped at the Welcome Center and Spadafora’s was their recommendation and they weren’t wrong!”

“Good food friendly service.”

“Ordered the grilled salmon for lunch at the counter and ate at the tables outside. It was tasty and fresh as always. The service was fast and friendly. I tend to come to Mike’s once or twice while on vacation and I noticed that they even added a variety of different condiments on the fixings bar by the tables for patrons dining outside, a very nice addition. Thank you as always, Mike’s!”

“My husband and I had a wonderful breakfast at the Ocean Cafe. The staff was friendly, prompt and helpful. The food was outstanding! It was a delicious way to end our stay in Ocean City. Thank you Michael for the great service!”

“Everything was great. We got appetizers at 4pm and could not order certain meals until 4:30(weird) About 4:30 until we couldn't take it any more, we took the balance of our early dinners with us. At 4:30 we noticed the restaurant started filling with flied. First near the floor on my leg then on the back of our seats & table & all around our food. The restaurant was clean to your eye but being in the food service business, Since they were serving food outside using the back door, the flies were swarming in I would suggest bug zappers inside & outside of the exit where they are delivering food. And every so often do a deep cleaning of their furniture and floors, esp under the tables making sure to keep changing the water. Maintence rarely change mopping water from dining area, cooking area & bathroom. And Staff clean tables & booths with the same rags all evening. So like I recommend really deep clean furniture walls & floors & it will help cut down on sticky floors & flies. The food was the best I've had in OC but dealing with the flies was unreal.”

“Great food! Best pancakes!”

“Had a great brunch outside today at Augie’s in Ocean City! Food was great! The staff was so attentive to Winnie. Love that it is dog friendly 🐶”

“The wife and I were down here for a getaway and found Kessel’s Korner online for breakfast. We read the reviews, and decided we would check it out for ourselves. Wow I am glad we decided to go, it was absolutely delicious we will go back again. Everything was fantastic!”

“This place offers an authentic taste of some Mediterranean favorites. The Gyro was one of the best we have ever tried, and the babaganoush chicken wrap was outstanding. The guys are very friendly and efficient.”

“Outstanding. We ordered 3 slices and were given a slice with pickles. Fresh squeezed 🍋 lemonade. Run to this place. Best on the OC boardwalk. Service with a smile. Thank you.”

“Edited for summer 2026: still love Hobby Horse, still 5 stars, but whatever happened to the s’mores ice cream is tragic! Please bring back the original s’mores!”

“The ice cream sandwich is good. I enjoyed picking my cookies and ice cream. However, they do not have as much ice cream as the pictures on their Facebook account or at the store. I'm hoping that is because they are training and it will get better. I will give them another chance. Margate”

“delicious vegan treat! well done on the strawberry whip...”

“Very delicious. Great choices. Great service. Will be back.”

“Best pizza and bonus is the super friendly staff, love coming here”

The orange and green signage jumped out at me while walking the boardwalk. Im glad I stopped here.”

“Today I visited Frenchy’s and I was amazed by the great attention that Yamilex provided me, she’s such a lovely person, she engaged with me the whole time. The funnel cake was incredibly good, I’ll be coming back with my friends so they can try it as well!!!!!”

“Scones are delicious. The staff is not friendly. A good morning and a thank you goes a long way. I was there on Wednesday 9/11 at 9 AM and I’m referring to the young lady at the register.”

“I have eaten here twice. Once was in the fall, and now today, right before Christmas. The ambiance is the most charming! I loved it as soon as I walked in. Some places that are adorned aren’t kept very tidy. Jon & Patty’s is VERY clean! Never do you worry about dust or debris. The coffee and apple cider are AMAZING! You will miss out if you don’t treat yourself to one of them. I personally suggest the cider. I normally NEVER get cider anywhere… but this cider is next level! The food is fantastic… definitely try the nutty chicken salad and the sweet potato fries. Jon and Patty’s is sure to please!”

“The food is so delicious! Especially the pop corn chicken and crunchdogs. I would def recommend to anyone on vacation cruising the boardwalk! You will not be disappointed!! My family and I love this place”

“I wish you had more than 5 stars. We can’t say enough good things about our experience. I called ahead and got an emphatic “yes” when I asked if they could accommodate my 6 year old granddaughter who has celiac disease. When we got there and to the counter the owners and counter help could not have been nicer, or more knowledgeable. They gave us our options, of which there were plenty. Showed us the ingredient label. Went in the back for a fresh tub and a clean scoop. We were a party of 8 , and besides celiacs we had one diabetic and one who gets anxiety when having to make a choice between so many flavors. They handled it all. And the ice cream was delicious.”

“Excellent food and service! Highly recommend Brown’s”

“My first visit, don't know how I didn't know about this place! Adorable! great coffee (from someone who drinks it plain black, that's really a compliment!) Plus gluten-free fresh backed goods and other gluten-free and vegan options for food and drinks! Quiet, quaint, Sunny, and lovely young woman working there. A hidden treasure!”

“We really enjoyed our family dinner in front of the fire place. The service and meal were both great.”

“Great daily specials and super friendly staff.”

“Best breakfast in Ocean City!! Always our first breakfast stop!”

“We started patronizing in 2022. Always consistent and friendly staff. Went today! Great service! 🏁👍”

“We enjoyed an excellent and reasonably priced dinner at the beach. Staff was attentive and friendly. Food was delicious! The only downside for us is that the Mexican food that we previously enjoyed at home will now pale in comparison.”

“The best sticky bun.....drop the mic.”

“Del's has been a regular stop for me when I am visiting the boardwalk for many years. Just today, I enjoyed a Mushroom Cheesesteak, some Fries and a Pepsi. They hit the spot.”

“Fabulous waffles sundaes and great staff!”

“Great place to eat! We come to both of the Ocean City, NJ locations!”

“Jilly’s French Fry Factory is a place I consistently have a positive experience with. The staff are friendly, service is quick, and the fries are always hot, fresh, and full of flavor.

One thing that stands out is the portion size. They’re very generous and really fill the container, which makes it feel like a good value.

While the initial price can be a bit high, it’s definitely worth purchasing the refillable fry bucket. Bringing it back for discounted refills ends up being a much better deal, even compared to the cost of a small order.

Overall, it’s a reliable spot for quality fries and quick service, especially if you take advantage of the refill option.”

“Best Sicilian pizza ive ever had”

“I love this place because all the food tastes delicious 😋”

“must have everytime I go to boardwalk”

“Amazing owners and yummy food! Love the new location!”

“Delicious ice cream and waffle cones, great customer service.”

“The wife and I were out and about and decided to try the Waterside location in Lakewood Ranch Fl. I have to say im a bit of a critic because we have family in Maine and have tasted all ends of the spectrum of lobster rolls from amazing to terrible and this place makes a great Lobster rolls with a spot on price comparable to Maine and other restaurants in the area. The staff member we dealt with was super nice I wish I would have got his name, but I do know he was from Jersey and had great knowledge knew the product well. We had 2 Connecticut rolls and they were great. I would say this place is worth checking out. Theres only outdoor seating, but you can easily walk around waterside and find a spot to kick back and enjoy or walk out enjoy their outdoor seating and it will complement their lobster rolls very well. They also have nice little selection of beers/beverages and a whole N/A fridge too.”

“This place is phenomenal. The food is delicious & made with fresh, high quality ingredients. The atmosphere & vibe of the restaurant is both inviting & relaxing. And the service is beyond excellent, incredibly attentive & friendly. We went for breakfast & had to go back again for dinner. We will absolutely be coming back on our annual Ocean City trips. Highly recommended - you will definitely leave full & happy.”

“Goji Juice has the best customer service! My child accidentally spilled their smoothie almost immediately after getting it, and without hesitation the staff made us a brand-new one. They were so kind and understanding, which made a stressful moment so much easier.

The smoothies are absolutely delicious, and the kindness of the staff is what will keep us coming back. Highly recommend!”

“It’s Kohrs, what’s not to ❤️”

“Delicious ice cream and waffle cones, great customer service.”

“The coolest guy I’ve ever met Jun”

“The staff were amazing and on it!! I visited on Monday evening with friends and the place was busy but we had great service and some great pizza! I loved it! You can’t go wrong stopping by and picking any of the many options they have. Thanks for the good food guys!”

“Literally had the best smoothie ever. It’s called Peanut Butter Lovesicle and it’s the freaking bomb. I’ll be stopping there on my Monday and Tuesday walks on the boardwalk �”

“I recently ordered their salt water taffy for the first time. A snow storm hit and I wasn't sure if my order would arrive on time. Nancy at Shrivers was THE BEST! The customer service was exceptional. She continually monitored the situation. Thankfully it did arrive on time!! Not only is the customer service exemplary, the salt water taffy is the best taffy I have ever eaten!! It's full of flavor and smooth on the palate. Top quality! I received so many compliments! You WILL NOT regret purchasing Shrivers Salt Water Taffy for any occasion. I will definitely be purchasing more!”

“It’s Kohrs, what’s not to ❤️”

“The coolest guy I’ve ever met Jun”

“We love this place. There are so many ice cream shops around Ocean City, but we always seem to come back here. The ice cream and ices are really good, they have a ton of choices, and it’s a cute little spot close to the boardwalk.

The best part is the people. They’re just genuinely nice and always make us and our kids feel welcome. Our kids get excited to go and they’re always happy to see them too. We’re nearby at The Linda Grande Hotel, so this has definitely become our regular ice cream stop. Great little family friendly place with really good people.”

“Steven at 768 Boardwalk, Ocean City, NJ was incredible making absolutely certain that we were taken care of even though his store was not open. The Auntie Anne's website has the hours for this location swapped with the store farther up the boardwalk. He took great measures to explain what was going on and took steps to get us what we needed. Steven is an exemplary leader and customer representative. He is an outstanding asset to this company.”

“Awesome experience overall!!!”

“we did a wkd getaway in OC. we popped in here and had coffee and split a belgium waffle. it was sooo good. the service was fantastic. we will be back”

“I just finished my Winter stay in one of the suites available from Jilly's. I was very pleased with the accommodations and it was a good value for me. I will definitely return there in the future.👍”

“I was Happy to try the Flamethrower Burger w/Fries,along with a Medium drink/Flurry(Awesome service worthy of 10,000/10,000 of awesomeness)”

“Pretzels were great..will be visiting again soon!”

“these pretzels are so delicious, they have a variety for everybody, I've never had a pretzel so soft and delicious.”

“Exceptional customer service. They helped remake my order after I accidentally ordered my tenders with Buffalo sauce which was too spicy for my kids. The fries and tenders were really good.”

“Truly amazing Mexican food — both authentic and American style available, which is great because it makes everyone happy. The last 3 days I’ve been down here working, I’ve come to Rojo’s twice. I plan to come again Tuesday when I’m back down here working! I’m usually incredibly loyal to my Mexican place in Hammonton, but Rojo’s has me rethinking everything. The owner is super cool, too. I had the chance to talk with him during both trips and it’s really not surprising that Joe has had this place all of these years. I have my to-go bag right beside me, about to tear in, but I HAD to make sure I left them a review first.”

“Love the ice cream! Don’t like the choice of vocabulary in the menu.”

“We live year-round in Ocean City and live exclusively on all the incredible, amazing delicacies at ANEU, 55th Street, for lunch and dinner. We wish this location was open all year but at this time they are open during the summer only. There is thankfully another ANEU location in Margate which currently is open all year, so I will be ordering through the main Paoli location and pickup all our food at the Margate location here https://aneucatering.com/ocean-city-%2F-margate. The reason we love ANEW is because everything is real, whole food ingredients, with no added preservatives, chemicals, etc., and is top quality all hand made daily by their incredible chefs in-house. They have the most amazing variety of proprietary recipes from breakfast, to lunch, to dinner items. The salads are out of this world and not available anywhere else, only at ANEU. You can even choose from pre-cooked, uncooked, or frozen for many of the lunch and dinner items depending on your schedule. Also available fresh daily are custom pastries and desserts to die for. They even have breakfast sandwiches! The staff is amazing. Somehow the ANEW culture of friendly, professional, customer service still exists at its finest throughout the entire staff. A special shout-out to Deanna in the Ocean City location for her contribution to the top-notch service that you are guaranteed to experience. I could go on and on, but to make a long story short let me close by simply saying that ANEW is by far the "BEST IN CLASS" in South Jersey and we are customers for life. Thank you ANEU for everything you do. See you next summer, and until then I'll be ordering through the main Paoli store and pickup in Margate.”

“Great daily specials and super friendly staff.”

“Sat outside we had your pizza. It was absolutely delicious, crunchy and crusty and mouthwatering so refreshing.”

“Only takeout service due to staffing shortage. But our order was brought out to us hot and we enjoyed their sidewalk seating to eat our lunch. Been here many times over the years. It has not disappointed us.”

“We ordered the food to take out. it was ready in 20 mins. From the apps to the main meal order all the food my wife and I ordered was very good and not greasy at all. We will be ordering again....”

“I had a fudge sundae over vanilla M&M ice cream. Really good ice cream. Highly recommended.”

“There was a vegan jackfruit pulled pork sandwich, and vegan cheesy pasta Primavera, and vegan black bean burger, and vegan pad Thai with tofu. Not to mention the delicious frozen banana desserts many of which are fully vegan.  Updated from previous review on 2026-08-02”
