“love this place, always good and people are so nice. the first time we went in, the server gave us a pair of readers so I could see the menu. we always come to sushi cafe, it's our favorite place!”
“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!”
“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!

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”

“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.”

“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!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I have been going to Pho-Char for about 2 years on a regular basis. The owners do a phenomenal job staying on top of everything. The place is always clean, organized, and well kept.
The food is amazing. I have yet to have even a mediocre meal here. I typically always get the pho, but the fried rice is excellent, appetizers are great, and everything is always supurb.
Highly recommend this place for pho lovers. I love supporting mom and pop shops and what seems to be a husband and wife are always there working extremely hard.”
“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”
“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”

“I had the best fish dinner at the Bull. Blackened Red Snapper on top of a fresh quality salad!”
“Every year when we go to the beach we get Dumser’s Ice Cream at least 3 times. Best ice cream ever!”
“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”
“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!”
“Vegan review:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Chai latte with oat milk - not too mild 💋
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Hot chocolate with oat milk - real chocolate flavor not syrup.
⭐⭐⭐⭐Avocado toast - light on salt and wish there was lemon or lime flavor in mashed avocado.
⭐⭐⭐The happy cow -vegan breakfast burrito. With hot sauce it is 4⭐s but it lacks some flavor but the tortilla is nicely crisp. The sauce it comes with is mild and underwhelming, I liked the blue agave saracha.
When they called our order it was difficult to here our name but it was not loud so be careful.”
“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.”

“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😅”

“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!”
“I used to hang out with leo in the early 80 he was a cool good looing guy very smart.Sadly leo passed away in the 90s he was just setting up his medical practice.I have not been there in a long time but they always had a good economical breakfast.....His parents were still there when i visited last. Ocean city was undeveloped back then. You should have seen it.”
“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.”

“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.”

“Captain Kerry and his entire family and staff are super friendly,and know their business. Always look forward to picking up their fresh seafood. Captain Kerry is around with a smile and to lend a hand to carry something and have a chat. My all time favorite place for fresh, fairly priced.”

“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!”
“We visited the Crab Bag Gift Shop while at the beach last month and the customer service was excellent! They did not have what we needed in our size so the manager,Julie, offered to order and ship it to us. She was extremely helpful and pleasant. The store has a large variety of anything Maryland and of course anything to do with crabs, if you haven't done so already you should definitely check it out! We also ate at the restaurant, and the crabs were some of the best we've ever had.”

“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.”

“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!”
