“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!”

“Disappointing Experience Unfortunately, this place did not meet expectations. The portions were very small for the high price, and to make matters worse, no sauces are included—you have to pay $2.50 for each one! I won’t be returning. The value just isn’t there. On top of that, when I shared my feedback, the owner was confrontational and dismissive instead of listening and taking my concerns seriously. To make things worse, other employees appeared to be laughing at me or the situation, which is just plain disrespectful and disgusting. As for the food—it was bland and just not good. The rice was the first thing I tried, and it was bad right away. I followed that with a small bite of chicken, hoping it might be better, but it was also completely lacking in flavor. I couldn’t eat any more after that. Overall, not a good experience. It’s genuinely baffling how this place has a 4.7-star rating on Google Reviews. There’s only one other supposed kabob restaurant in Ocean City, so maybe that’s the only reason this place is rated so highly—but it certainly isn’t because of the quality or service.”

“My better half and I walked into what we thought would be a just another diner…but we were greatly surprised! I loved the laidback atmosphere, friendly staff, especially our server, Muhammad. We arrived early enough in the morning so we had plenty of seats to choose from. We shared a golden yolk, avocado toast platter and my better half add a cleansing smoothie. The platter itself was massive as it had four eggs on top of avocado and delicious sourdough bread. What a wonderful place! We definitely will be coming back here the next time we stay in Ocean City.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!! “”

“Sofia's Italian Restaurant went above and beyond to make my surprise after-hours office get-together unforgettable. Sofia herself was an absolute delight, ensuring everything went smoothly and that we had a wonderful time. The food was incredible! The white clam sauce pizza was a standout—perfectly cooked, with a unique blend of flavors that left everyone raving. We also tried several other items off the appetizer menu, and each dish was fresh and flavorful. The warm hospitality and attention to detail truly set this place apart. If you're looking for great food and service with a personal touch, Sofia's Italia Restaurant is a must-visit! Thank you, Sofia, for making the evening so special. From your friends at RE/MAX Advantage Realty!”

“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.”

“Happy Jacks is absolutely the best breakfast restaurant anywhere and they have the most amazing staff and food. We never go anywhere else and it's even better now that we live here. My son, Woody has Down Syndrome, and as parents you always worry how he will be treated, well I can tell you from the very first time we walked into Happy Jacks he was treated with respect and true affection. He now knows all the staff, for his birthday then brought him his pancakes with a candle and they sang to him. And one of the waitresses is his Bff and they spend time together outside of her work. It truly is a family affair.”

“Excellent food. Great kids menu. Fantastic crab cakes and mahi mahi. The location if you’re staying at Quality Inn Boardwalk couldn’t be better. Gorgeous decor and wonderful outdoor boardwalk dining area. The only issue was the extremely loud music inside.

“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.”

Not that you’d have to wait because their servers are very attentive and accommodating. Five stars, for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!! “”

And threw in a dessert with them. Brisket , Turkey and Mac n cheese had a mission bbq vibe but were honestly better and memorable !!. We will be returning and highly recommend ! Thank you Annabelle’s manager for helping make our Fourth of July weekend memorable after the slight mishap we enjoyed sampling all the sauces !”

“Rachel is the best. We loved her. She is the best waiter. Great customer service. However the front desk lady would not allow my son to bring in his cooler bag but all other people had coolers and cooler bags. The white lady sitting behind me had a big bag of potato chips so they could not say it was a food thing. My family and i spent hundreds of dollars the entire week as we do every year. My parents owned their house in ocean pines as well. It was racial cause we are African American. All the white people at the pool had coolers and cooler bags that the front desk lady did not even check in their cooler bags but asked my son what was in his bag. SMH.”

“Our go-to when in town!! seated quickly. Coffee came quickly and we were not rushed to order. We had a cheese Danish ($3.99) to start. Then "eye opener" w/ meat (2 eggs over, home fries, and a ton of bacon!) $14.99. I had the creamed chip beef w/ home fries $14.99. Both servings of home fries and of bacon were very generous!! Dryden, our server, checked on us regularly and kept our coffee hot and full. Food came fast, hot and well presented. Out total bill, before tax and tip was $40.94 for to full tummies!!!! We took a carry-out box with a muffin, home fries and bacon home!”

“Happy Jacks is absolutely the best breakfast restaurant anywhere and they have the most amazing staff and food. We never go anywhere else and it's even better now that we live here. My son, Woody has Down Syndrome, and as parents you always worry how he will be treated, well I can tell you from the very first time we walked into Happy Jacks he was treated with respect and true affection. He now knows all the staff, for his birthday then brought him his pancakes with a candle and they sang to him. And one of the waitresses is his Bff and they spend time together outside of her work. It truly is a family affair.”

“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.”

We arrived early enough in the morning so we had plenty of seats to choose from. We shared a golden yolk, avocado toast platter and my better half add a cleansing smoothie. The platter itself was massive as it had four eggs on top of avocado and delicious sourdough bread. What a wonderful place! We definitely will be coming back here the next time we stay in Ocean City.”

“Sofia's Italian Restaurant went above and beyond to make my surprise after-hours office get-together unforgettable. Sofia herself was an absolute delight, ensuring everything went smoothly and that we had a wonderful time. The food was incredible! The white clam sauce pizza was a standout—perfectly cooked, with a unique blend of flavors that left everyone raving. We also tried several other items off the appetizer menu, and each dish was fresh and flavorful. The warm hospitality and attention to detail truly set this place apart. If you're looking for great food and service with a personal touch, Sofia's Italia Restaurant is a must-visit! Thank you, Sofia, for making the evening so special. From your friends at RE/MAX Advantage Realty!”

“Delicious Breakfast and Wonderful Hospitality! My family and I were in Ocean City helping a relative move back to Wisconsin, and we stayed at the beautiful Hyatt Oceanview Resort. My daughter and I decided to try a breakfast spot on the Ocean City Boardwalk and found Crepe Daddy — and we’re so glad we did! The food and service were both amazing, but what really made the experience special was meeting Ben, the owner. His kindness, genuine personality, and personal touch made us feel so welcome. We had a great conversation with him that truly made our trip memorable. We can’t wait to come back with the rest of our family so they can meet Ben and enjoy his delicious breakfast menu and lattes. It’s definitely a must-visit spot when you’re in Ocean City!”

“Excellent food. Great kids menu. Fantastic crab cakes and mahi mahi. The location if you’re staying at Quality Inn Boardwalk couldn’t be better. Gorgeous decor and wonderful outdoor boardwalk dining area. The only issue was the extremely loud music inside. It will give you a headache and keep you from hearing your dining companions if you’re inside. Please turn it down.”

We've been here twice now and it's been great both times.”

“Luv’s Coffee & Bagels — Ocean City’s Hidden Breakfast Gem with Heart (and Gluten-Free Heaven!)
Tucked right on Fifth Street in Ocean City, Luv’s Coffee & Bagels is the kind of spot that instantly wins you over — not just with the smell of fresh coffee and toasted bagels, but with genuine warmth, great food, and a real commitment to every guest’s needs.
From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like locals. Friendly smiles, upbeat energy, and food that tastes like it’s made with love — the name Luv’s fits perfectly.
☕ The Coffee
Their coffee is phenomenal. Smooth, bold, never bitter — you can tell they take pride in every cup. Whether you’re a straight-up black coffee drinker or you love your lattes, they nail the flavor and consistency every time.
🥯 The Bagels & Breakfast
The bagels are next-level — perfectly chewy on the inside with that golden crisp outside. But here’s what really sets Luv’s apart: their gluten-free options are legit. My girlfriend is gluten-free, and this is one of the very few places at the beach where she can order freely without worry.
They offer gluten-free bagels, almond flour pancakes, and even gluten-free waffles that are so good, you’d never know the difference. Everything comes out fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor — no shortcuts, no dry texture, just genuinely great food that happens to be gluten-free.
🥞 The Vibe
It’s bright, welcoming, and full of local energy. Whether you’re starting your beach day, grabbing brunch, or just hanging out for a while, it’s got that perfect Ocean City vibe — relaxed but full of life.
❤️ Why We’ll Keep Coming Back
It’s rare to find a café that gets everything right: delicious food, top-notch coffee, friendly people, and thoughtful options for everyone — including those who need to eat gluten-free. Luv’s Coffee & Bagels isn’t just a stop; it’s a destination.
If you’re in Ocean City, do yourself a favor — go to Luv’s. Whether you eat gluten-free or not, you’ll leave happy, full, and probably planning your next visit before you hit the boardwalk.”
