Had a birthday party for my daughter here. Excellent service, great place for the kids to run around, and cute toys. Kids liked the food but I just thought it was okay. We got the crab dip which was hardly any carb in it. And I got the fish tacos which were bland. My family got some appetizers and loved them. But nothing stellar to write about. But the kids had a great time. read more

Dependably good service with good food and lots of beer options. Love all the big screens for games. Particularly satisfied with the late night menu in the off season (March). Plus fun games, duck pin bowling and a cool shark tank keeps kids entertained. read more

Alley Oops - Caesar salad with jerk chicken (on the late night menu) - Arcades Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

I was really hoping to be impressed by this place, but it missed the mark. Honestly, what drew me to this place was the chance to look at the sharks in the aquarium. That, that did not disappoint. Think of this as a Dave & Busters but for a tourist area. Add a gimmick, like an aquarium, and you make yourself a bit unique. What I can tell you is that I did not partake in the arcade area. The aquarium, the main draw for me to want to come here, was underwhelming. I expected it to be larger, as well as the sharks. What I did not expect was the gigantic eel that came out to swim around the tank as well. Service was great, our server was amazing and delightful to deal with. She answered our questions with ease. She was able to make recommendations based on our likes. I was going to do a whole meal, but opted not to as I was still kind of full from lunch. I stuck to the appetizer section and sides. I will tell you that I ended up taking a majority of it home with me. I went with Fried Pickles and Tater Tots. I wasn't expecting a lot, but what I was given felt like it was more than enough to be a meal. The fried pickles were of the spears type, served with a chipotle horseradish. This seemed to mix well together, the dill of the pickles and the horseradish really seemed to mellow each other out. The tots were nice and crispy. Along with the meal earlier that day, what really made me feel full were the drinks. They brought you your drink is small pitchers. Not the biggest pictures, but larger than the average glass. I was dying of thirst when I got here and guzzled down the first one and half the second one. The leftovers weren't all that great the next day, but that wasn't surprising, reheating fried foods never really is the same. read more

Sean took very good care of us when we came in for a late meal. This place has a lot to see, wall size screens for sports, games and a bowling alley. It's a casual vibe with bar food. The food was out quickly and the drinks were good. Really had a good time and will come back again. read more

Arcade: 5 stars Restaurant: 3 stars Alley Oops has great options for family fun. There are several bowling lanes for duckpin bowling, loads of arcade games from skeeball, driving games, to classic pacman. There's even an interactive shooting game from theater-style seats. Pro tip: come on Sunday, they have a promo where you can buy $40 worth of playing points for just $20! We took advantage of that and it got us just the right amount of playtime before we needed a break for food. The food offerings are a lot of bar food and seafood, which is expected in a location like this. None of it was bad, but nothing blew me out of the water. My wife said her seafood quesadilla was basic, and my Chicago Italian Beef could have used a bit more jus; again, nothing bad, it just didn't wow us. Honestly, the best part of the meal was the fried pickle spears appetizer. Perfectly fried with the right size cut for the pickles. I'd come back for the games. And while the food wasn't spectacular, it is definitely something to nosh on while taking a break or staying to watch whatever game is playing on the many TV screens. read more

My husband picked this place for our 2 year old to see the fish, and to eat on our way home from the weekend. You see the fish tank as soon as you come in. It's huge and has a cool variety of fish. Great site to "sea" and keep a kid occupied while waiting for food. The place is like a cute mini Dave n Busters. The food was mid, the burger was awesome tho. I should have gotten regular toppings but I ordered the crab cheese dip on it. It was too rich for me. Husband didn't eat his tacos even tho they looked tasty and our toddler ate her tots. It has a large seating area, where it looks like families ordered food and play games while they wait. The games are cute. A lil something for all ages. read more

Located this restaurant/bowling amusement center while trying to find things to do since there was rainy weather all week during our vacation in Ocean City. Immediately when I entered I loved and was drawn to the shark tank. We were seated to get a few quick bites before exploring the amusement area. Our waiter was Sean and he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the shark tank with there feeding schedule and names of the shark Thor along with the eel inside the tank that I only saw once. Sean provided great customer service. The food was just ok which was pretty much bar food. We did duck pins which the nice part is they have the bummer already on the lanes as an option. A full bar in the bowling area and you do not need to get bowling shoes....just the shoes you wore will do just fine. The basketball games are out favs along with the air hockey table. We had a great time in lieu of the rainy weather. We will most definitely return when back in the area. read more

We only visited the games area so I have nothing to offer as far as the food. I will start by suggesting you get there early due to limited and tight parking. Everything's electronic ... on a card you purchase and "fill" with your gaming points. This ain't no "Dave & Busters" but it had a nice selection of games and drained $100 pretty quickly. We had a good time. read more

It's a cool place where families can hang out and have fun. They have arcade games and bowling lanes. They also serve food, but we didn't eat anything. We did, however, enjoy some drinks from the bar. The bartender was quite generous with the alcohol in our drinks. To play games or bowl, you need to buy a card and load it with credits. Then you can freely enjoy all the games and bowling. There's a few "recharge" stations in the arcade area, so you don't have to go to the front each time. The bowling alley is nice, and they have these small balls that you don't need to stick your fingers in. It took me a while to figure out the best way to hold them, but it was definitely a fun night out. read more

Can't wait to be back! read more

The service was rather nice but the servers were rather emotionless, which isn't exactly what is best for a family restaurant. The vibe was very family-friendly but it seemed like a place that all ages could enjoy! For the food, I got the highly recommended off the shore burger with a side of fries. The fries costed extra and didn't have enough salt. The burger was good but it didn't have that classic delicious, messy burger taste that makes a burger really good. We came during Easter so there were golden eggs hidden around the building containing prizes, which was very fun and added to the kid theme. The arcade right next door made things very fun and it was nice to play games while waiting for our food. read more

Disclaimer. I didn't eat here...but they did seem to have a lot of deals going. We brought our sons here on a rainy day while visiting OC. It was a Sunday and they had a deal $20 for $40 worth of games. They had such a good time and that $20 went a long way. My husband said it was the best $20 he spent on vacation. The games were fun. There were no tickets. So he that's important to you, probably not the place for you....but clean and a ton of fun. The real nice part is they have a fish tank with sharks and eels. My kids had an amazing time visiting the tank. It was very cool. read more

Awesome place for family with kids. Good food, good service, and a ton of arcade games for kids. We had a great time!

Came here for a quick shot on St Patty's weekend. We wanted a car bomb but they were out of Guinness - on St Patty's weekend! We ended up going with a green tea shot and I will say that it was probably the best green tea shot I've ever had. I'm not usually a huge fan of green tea, but this one had some type of spice in it that hit you after you drank it. It was really good. The ambiance was nice and relaxed, almost like a Dave and Buster's. From the brief time we were here, we had fun. read more

We didn't know what this was until my sister told us about it. My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time. We went two times so far on our trip. The bar staff was so nice. We went to watch the Ravens game and they gave us our space but also kept making sure we were ok. A little expensive... The food was very good. read more

Savannah was my fav def coming back for her! she radiates beauty and positivity with every table she interacts with. highly admirable!

Terrible terrible terrible food. We ordered super basic things, and they were as awful as the service from our new waiter who never once checked in to see if we were ok or needed anything. Caesar salad - tasty dressing on brown lettuce. gah! Buttered noodles - a starchy inedible mush of elbows that had been precooked and reheated with melted butter poured on top. Shoestring fries - they were fine. The decor is fun, the shark tank is awesome, and the play area looked nice and clean, hence giving the place any stars at all. read more

Alley Oops is a great indoor place that serves food and has entertainment for the whole family. There is an arcade, bowling alley, full service bar.

Alley Oops - Having fun - Arcades Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

If you have kids, it's a great place for kids and adults to enjoy. Has a good spacious arcade for kids to play all sorts of games, you can play also if you are into it. But while the kids play you can enjoy a good meal and some pretty good drinks. Make sure to have a designated driver. The location we went to was Ally Oops Midtown. We first tried the uptown one, they had a wait time of 3 hours so we decided to go to the midtown location. Midtown location has a big shark tank where kids and adults can be amused with the sharks. Now about food, we had Crabtots for appetizer, which kinda came with the entrée so it didn't serve so much as appetizer but it was still pretty good. I had fish and chips and my friends had Ribeye Steak with veggies and Chicken Chesapeake with veggies. The veggies looks so colorful and delicious. The fish and chips as pretty good also! All in all a great place to enjoy for both kids and adults in Ocean City MD! read more

I decided to take my 8 year old son on a mommy son date today to have some fun and food! We had a ball at the arcade and I spend a good penny on games. We decided to sit down and get a bite to eat before playing again. As we sat down I told my son to go ahead and look over the menu so we are ready when the waiter came over. As he looked i was just scanning the room I made eye contact with 2 male waiters that was servicing other tables. So we sat patiently and waited our turn, 5 minutes go by and yes 5 minutes both waiters cleared checks and tables and no one still never came to wait on my son and myself. My son even put his hand up like he was in school lol I told him just be patient. A few more minutes went by and still no one came to service us it's not 8 minutes, I noticed two young ladies standing in the walk way of the kitchen we made eye contact and one came over. I asked her if we had a waiter because we had been waiting for almost 10 minutes, she said on he will be with you shortly. I said " he " meaning one of the two men that are out here now? She said yes, I stated that I have made eye o tact with both of them and neither acknowledge myself or my son. She don't apologize for the wait just stated I can get you some drinks. And please note that it wasn't busy on the dine in side at all prob 4 tables total 5 including mine. So we decided to get up and just leave. I have always heard about the treatment to persons amid color at this establishment but I never believe anything until I witness it myself. It's sad because you kinda ruined a moment I was having with my son today. I recommend that the wait staff from today get proper training on customer service because I came to spend my money with you guys and I wasn't treated fair at all. read more

We went here for the first time after hearing about it from family. We went there for the 2024 Jeep Week. The weather was rainy and cold out. The gaming side was enjoyable. We bowled a couple of games, which was fun. When time came to eat, however, we noticed it was priced way high. We also noticed very few people were there to eat. We were seated at a table next to a birthday party. The waitress only focused on the party. We sat for 10 mins. No one approached us, and we didn't even get to order drinks, no attention paid to us at all. We walked out, and no one cared. We ate somewhere else. Lack of attention and waitstaff not even coming over to explain anything while 2-3 wandered around. Never going again with food in mind.Frim what I have read here might not have been worth the price anyway. read more

What a great new find for us! We have been coming to OC for over 20 years. This place was a totally cool vibe from arcade type feel on one side with huge tvs at the open bar, rolling doors to provide an outside feel while inside to beach like picnic table seating outside. We had an awesome waiter and the food was good. We all had something different from short ribs Mac and cheese, Burgers to a fish dish. My husband enjoyed a nice craft beer on tap too! We played an awesome 3d virtual game in the arcade and had some good ole gaming fun to end the night. We will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in for a a late night food and was greeted by three hostess. We sat in the bar area. Sean was ahhhmazing! Super attentive, quick, and plentiful despite having multiple bar patrons and other high top tables. That's the type of service you want in a tourist spot that makes you want to come back. Now the food, the cheesesteak egg rolls, could use some seasoning. The aioli that accompanies it makes up for the lack of seasoning. The seafood chowder was yummy, hold the corn. The offshore burger was fire.!! We got all the extra fixens and requested it medium. *Chefs kiss* because it was a pretty pink! With the perfectly crisp shoe string fries! read more

We arrived with another couple shortly after they opened to bowl. There are not a lot of lanes - maybe six. It was the first time we tried with the small ball which was fun. I think it would be great to bring kids with the light little ball. Lots of arcade games and a large area to eat. We didn't try any food but did have beer/wine from the bar. I would think when it gets crowded that it would be very noisy with all the games. read more

Brought my daughter, her 2 friends and my wife for daughter's birthday. We decided to play games and then eat. Pretzel App was good,, cheesesteak egg rolls were okay. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich which I knew should be a frozen chicken breast but when I got to the middle of the sandwich the chicken was hard as a rock. I sent back and our server which was great offered to either make me a new one or take it off the bill. I didn't want to chance another bad chicken so I asked to have it taken off the bill. I then had a "manager" kid tell me since I had already eaten part of the sandwich that she will only give me a discount. Alley Oops I spent $150 on food and $200 on your games. If you are that hard up for my $16 for a really bad chicken sandwich keep it. We usually only come for the games but because of your condescending young manager we won't be back. BTW we are locals read more

Unique place for ocean city but a welcoming addition. Food menu is expansive but like most arcade places, very overpriced. The food is actually really good despite the pricing and the service is exceptionally well. They have a good variety of games including bowling and a 3D interactive FPS game. Redemption points for prizes seemed to be very high as well. Plan to drop a decent amount of cash. read more

Alley Oops - Crab dip - Arcades Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Love the most if the food and the games. Especially the duck pin bowling. Chicken tenders were a little over done but everything else was great! Music in the bowling area was way too loud and the huge step down by the bar that doesn't have a railing is dangerous with the dark room and very loud music. If they could lower the music just a little and fix that step down it would get a 5. read more

Tasty food and fun games- one complaint is that ordering, getting food and then getting the check takes forever. (We visited on a Thursday November evening in a large group, so they were definitely understaffed.) I ordered the special - seafood quesadilla. It was good, but I had to ask for extra salsa (the tiny cup wasn't enough for me). I love their signature cocktails. I haven't had one yet that I don't like. The kids in our party loved getting the frisbees for plates and enjoyed playing arcade games while we waited for their food. One of the kids' burger was over cooked, but overall I have enjoyed all of the food we have ordered there. read more

We were a group of 8 for lunch last Sunday. Stopped in the arcade first and had a great experience with the girl at the ticket counter and the manager. They fixed our issue with no problem or questions asked. Very impressed. Kids and adults enjoyed the games, played for awhile then headed over for a table. The server was attentive and quick. Our party filtered over from the arcade to the table a couple at a time and she was there each time to take the drink orders. Food came out fast and everything was correct. Few dishes could have been slightly warmer but not a big deal. Overall, fantastic place and will definitely be going back! read more

Decent food and good daily specials. Great place to watch a game. I would tecommend during happyhour.

Come for the atmosphere and fun. The food is your standard bar food and decent but definitely what i would expect from a place like this. Our waitress was really friendly and made sure to get us what we needed unlike many restaurants these days. very good service and our sun really enjoyed the games. Lots to look at inside and a decent amount of space so you don't feel like you're sitting on top of people. Would definitely go again! read more
