Restaurants in Ocean City

“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!”

“Our server, I think her name was Nina, was so sweet and so helpful. We came for our anniversary and she made our first time there a wonderful experience. The food, drinks and service were top notch and the view was just so amazing! We will definitely be back!”

“Kids loved it! Great place for getting some amazing Mac and cheese!!”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

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

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

“Definitely recommend trying this place. We had the filet tenders over pasta and the seared scallops with vegetables. Both dishes were amazing!”

“10/10 period. Great sushi, great server and great people. All around a satisfying experience. Call ahead for reservations because it's a small eatery and tables/bar seating go fast!”

“This is my favorite restaurant in the entire United States. I’m a career bodyguard who has been in the security sector for 13 years. I’ve been to close to all 50 US states and this restaurant tops the list! Kurt the Manager is one of the best humans you could ever encounter in your lifetime! Bodyguard for Muhammad Ali’s Wife - Adriano “Bubba” Almony”

“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!”

“Amazing service and delicious food. It is a must visit every year during our family beach vacation. I highly recommend the hot crab roll and the crab cake! Don’t pass on the chocolate chip cookies either!”

“Had a mom-daughter date tonight and we loved everything right down to the fantastic service (thank you, Juliana!). I have been coming here for many years and it honestly never disappoints, but I had to take the time to post a recommendation- particularly since Juliana provided such good service.”

“Excellent food and the staff was fun to talk to. Will definitely go back”

“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!”

“On Monday, August 4th, we had a party of 18 for light fare dining and drinks. Our server, Nikki, was exceptional. Professional, accommodating, super nice and was so efficient. Our food was delivered timely and everyone was pleased with the quality and temperature of the menu items ordered. Not an easy task for such a large party and on a very busy night. Drinks orders were also served timely and were delicious. Thank you Thomas, Nikki and staff for a wonderful evening.”

“An Ocean City staple! Great food and wonderful service! I definitely recommend this restaurant!”

“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 were an hour late with our reservation, but they still let us come; even though they were closing in a half hour. Food and service were excellent! We’ll definitely be back next time we come down to OC!!”

“Good food, reasonable prices. You have to make a reservation for dinner. They only open for breakfast and dinner. It is closed for lunch.”

“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!”

“Standard Chinese takeout but the food is amazing. The fried food did not taste greasy or like it was in old oil and the lo mien was perfect! It was not over saturated with random veggies.

I saw a review that said cash only but I was given the option to use a card.

I’ll def be back on my next trip when in the area”

“Great place, but the DJ spoil it. My husband and I celebrating our anniversary both of us from the Caribbean. I did my research before I came, this was supposed to be the Caribbean spot... the DJ need a damn BIG stone , ONLY a set of house ,club music played !!!!!! Disappointeddddd... really. Which part is Caribbean 😩. Was he trying to send us back to our hotel, because he purely emptied the place at 11:30p.”

“Fantastic view, great bartenders, excellent food, music is always good! Johnny and the kitchen crew do not dissapoint. Nice to see an old hang out turn into something bigger and better. Shout out to the Harrison Group for this one. 💪”

“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”

“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”

“This is hands down the number one Chinese place. The orange chicken is the most flavorful and natural tasting, none of that fake stuff. The chicken is so fresh and all white meat. The wonton soup is so good. The customer service is great and has a real family-oriented feel. It’s super fast, and the food quality is always top-notch. They even gave us a nice, high-quality calendar with our meal. Definitely a place we go to every time we’re in Ocean City.

Ps the containers were filled to the brim the pictures were taken after I started eating!”

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

“Really loved this place. The service, atmosphere and food was great! Went in the of season and service was great Rae not sure that is the correct spelling but she was amazing! Very helpful and friendly. Great service!”

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

“Workers should go up north to learn how to move their butts, 12 minutes for a coffee and a wrap is a bit ridiculous alot of employees and it wasn't even that busy”

“Great coffee and Cinnabons and much more great service”

“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.”

“We were only there for breakfast but it was the best breakfast we had all week for sure! Service was great as well ! Highly recommend”

“Wife and I ate here for the first time today and we absolutely loved it. Krissi our waitress was great, the food was delicious and the portions were huge. Can’t wait to bring our daughter.”

“This place is over priced for ocean city. The pasta was pre cooked and the sauce was lacking flavor. The burgers are frozen Sam's club burgers. Amd the chicken sandwich was dry”

“This place is great. Trendy and delicious. Coffee made right. I always look for local coffee shops especially when im on vacation to taste great coffee. The latte was perfectly made and delicious. Skip dd and star$ and support real coffee and real coffee shops!”

“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!”

“We went 3/31/2025 had great food and drinks and a superb service would recommend to go their”

“I had the best fish dinner at the Bull. Blackened Red Snapper on top of a fresh quality salad!”

“My husband and I had a great breakfast experience, just a few minutes ago!! Great food - not a bunch of hoity-toity “foodie” fare - just simple dishes, sides, and combos that are prepared perfectly. Sahara Cafe is, now, on our “must visit” list! Staff is very friendly and super efficient. The cafe is homey and traditional, reminiscent of restaurants from my youth - that great diner feeling. Let’s talk about that giant cup o’ Joe… delicious, hot, and the size of a “FRIENDS” cup!! What?! Not having to wait for multiple refills?! That’s right. Not that you’d have to wait because their servers are very attentive and accommodating. Five stars, for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Every year when we go to the beach we get Dumser’s Ice Cream at least 3 times. Best ice cream ever!”

“We ordered dinner from here when we were on a vacation in Ocean City. We got Chicken teriyaki, Tofu teriyaki and Boom Chi-King bowls. The food was fresh and flavorful. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. The restaurant itself was very clean and they make the food to order in their open kitchen. Highly recommend this place.”

“My experience at Sello’s from start to finish was top notch! The ambiance is very inviting with soft lighting & a classy interior design. I dined at the bar where Flip and Megan made our whole experience very enjoyable with their warm and attentive service. They recommended the wood-fired pizza, the Vespa, and a classic glass of Italian red wine. Simply delicious! My brother had the Linguine Fra Diavlo with succulent lobster tail and shrimp. It was outstanding. We finished out the evening with a velvety Tiramisu, and the Bianca Espresso Martini. Julian, the manager, stopped over to chat with us and made us feel like family.”

“Every year when we come to ocean city for vacation, this is the first place we get food from. The chicken wings are my favorite, and the pizza is good too. I hate having to wait a whole year to be able to get their wings again😅”

“Great lunch/dinner food family friendly. They need to update prices on their menu - bill was a but more than advertised”

“A must if you’re in Ocean City or in the Delmarva 🏄‍♂️”

“Wide variety of Turkish and Kosher foods! The best way to eat here is to get a variety and share. The baked Feta dish was the best! There are belly dancers and music as well...”

“So happy we stopped in for the first time leaving our place in OC. The food was awesome and the service. we will return soon”

“We were there on Thursday 12/11/25. We stayed at the inn and walked downstairs to enjoy the festive Christmas atmosphere at the restaurant including music, decorations , and happy diners. We chose the prix fixe menu and both had the autumn spiced pork tenderloin. Everything was perfect including the cook on the pork ( mid rare), candied bacon, broccolini, and the cheddar grits. Each bite was better than the first. We were fortunate to have Jennifer as our server since her insight and recommendations added to the dining experience. Besides that she is just very efficient, knowledgeable, and a very nice person---so happy to have met her! Our first course was the caesar salad (maybe the best we ever had) which was not over dressed--the hidden secret of a good salad. I finished with a creme brulee and my wife had the peanut butter and jelly chocolate cake ( her favorite part was the strawberry ice cream). We each thoroughly enjoyed our tasty desserts. Oh yes, how could I forget, the Figenza mule cocktails---so good. Merry Christmas Peter Shields!”

“Let's start with food . I had a club sub L,T, meats cheese seem to taste totally fresh FF was hot and crispy .Now for services two young girls was working knew the menu was to point on my ordering. restaurant & restroom was clean I would totally come back next year”

“I didn't eat here, barking was rather easy. It's the epitome of a dve bar. I loved it, it's an iconic place and anybody who's a a lover of dive bars has to hit ths joint. I'm coming back at the end of April. I hope they're open”

“We had a great meal and specialty coffees. So glad we stopped in. The staff is super kind and helpful.”

“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.”

“Great atmosphere. Amazing crushes. We did not have the usual great service our last visit, but I chalk that up to “new summer help.” The blackened scallops w/ crab imperial is delicious.”

“We went on Friday 10/24/25 everything was outstanding like the past 5 times we were there this past summer. Everything i have eaten there was spectacular and the cocktails were spot on.”

“Stopped in for breakfast on the boardwalk and is was amazing! The breakfast sandwich was absolutely delicious — hot, tasty, and made with quality ingredients. You could really taste how fresh everything was, and it hit the spot perfectly for a morning by the ocean. Friendly service and a great location right on the boardwalk made the experience even better. Highly recommend starting your day here!”

“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.”

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.”

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!”

“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.”

“Tracey was an amazing bartender! she was welcoming and so much fun. I'll definitely be back!”
