Recently visited Ocean City, MD and let me tell you, this place is packed with dining options for every taste. Whether you’re craving seafood, comfort food, Caribbean flavors, or just a sweet treat, OCMD has it all. 👇
🦀 Ropewalk – Ocean City, MD
Perfect for serious seafood fans. I started with their Maryland Crab Soup — classic and delicious. Then came the Crawfish Steamer, the Deadliest Steampot (featuring snow crab legs), and the Maine Lobster Steamer. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right.
🌊 Harborside Bar & Grill – Ocean City, MD
Home of the original Orange Crush! Where it all started and now the official drink of Maryland! This laid-back waterfront spot was a must-visit. I had the Broiled Seafood Platter, which was a combo of jumbo lump crab cake, flounder, jumbo shrimp, and sea scallops, all served with a baked potato and green beans. A seafood lover’s paradise.
🔥 Northside Pit & Pub – Ocean City, MD
Talk about comfort food done right. The Fried Chicken Platter came with mashed potatoes smothered in gravy and a side of collard greens. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy inside, a true southern-style meal that hit the spot.
🏝️ Seacrets – Ocean City, MD
This place is a party any time of day! It’s a massive, vibrant spot right on the bay with tropical vibes and even better food. I went all out with:
- Jerk Chicken Appetizer: Tenderloin marinated for 48 hours in their spicy jerk blend.
- Seacrets Famous Steamed Shrimp: Jumbo shrimp with that classic seafood seasoning.
- Brown Stew Chicken: Rich, savory, and full of flavor with red beans, rice, and plantains.
- Petit Filet topped with lump crab meat, served with mashed potatoes and fried plantains.
Everything was packed with flavor and the vibe was unforgettable.
🍦 Dumser’s Dairyland – Ocean City, MD
No trip to Ocean City is complete without Dumser’s! Since 1939, they’ve been serving up homemade ice cream and I had to go for a cup of their classic twist soft serve. A sweet ending to an amazing food journey.
If you’re heading to Ocean City, go hungry. There’s something for everyone and the food scene is just as memorable as the beaches! 🌅🍴🦞
