My girlfriend and I met for an overnight getaway in Ocean City. This is the end of April, so the season is just getting underway. We made a 7:30 reservation for dinner. When we arrived, the restaurant was very busy, and there was a golf cart shuttle bringing patrons up to the door. We walked instead of riding in, and we stopped to take sunset pictures. We had a lovely table with a nice view. Neither one of us needed huge portions, but our server, Elizabeth, was very gracious about our choices. They split our salad onto two plates. We enjoyed the diver scallops appetizer, which was amazing, and the vegetarian pasta entree which had peppers & green beans, and other veggies. The rolls they bring out are delicious. The bar side was packed, but the dining room was more relaxing for us. read more

We've been here over the years and somehow on this visit the food was just ordinary and the drinks were definitely not very good (too much vermouth in the martinis). We did have good service and the view was beautiful, as always. Next time I'll just enjoy the bar with beer on tap. read more

My wife and I always try to go to Fager's at least one time every time we go to Ocean City. We always sit at the bar to order our food waiters and waitresses always right on whatever you need. We don't try a lot of their other food, but what we do order is always been great.. We get the large Caesar salad with salmon and usually I will get the burger that are both really good compared to a lot of popular places in Ocean City. read more

Eating upstairs in Fager's Island's fine dining room during our last trip to Ocean City was a pleasant surprise in every way. Many of the restaurants in OC lean very touristy or very local. Either way, you often feel like an outsider and tend to be treated that way. From the time that we were seated at our table with a gorgeous view of the bay, we felt like we were part of a well run tradition that was there for us. The food was excellent and the service was personal. We loved the celebration at sunset so much that we stayed for dessert and coffee, something we don't normally do. Truly our favorite meal of the trip. read more

Lovely beach ambiance at the fine dining establishment. The panoramic views of Assawoman Bay are remarkable. Had the chef's special Pan Seared Divers Scallops to start, they were fresh & buttery and complimented the chutney garnish. For dinner I had the Fager's Style Catch of the day, (rockfish) over the Noilly Prat Sauce. The sauce was AMAZING! The Creamy texture, vibrant herby taste complimented the fish perfectly. Staff is very nice and helpful. My only downside is: They don't do anything for birthdays... a scoop of ice cream would've been nice. But the food was quite delightful read more

Really like this place but had reservations for birthday that they said they would have the half-price meals on Sunday and Monday and stopped the promotion a week before we were coming down and they would not honor what they told us over the phone. They should have honored what they said. Let your yes be yes and your no be no but obviously this is not an honorable establishment. Canceled our reservations, unfortunately. You get one star from us. read more

We made reservations for a business dinner. We were sat immediately, and had a beautiful view of the bay. The food was delicious. Rockfish, Prime rib, cream of crab soup. All exceptional. Our waiter was very nice. We will definitely be back, read more

While visiting Ocean City for a wedding, my friend made a reservation for the Fine Dining area at Fager's Island as she had been here several times and wanted me to experience this place. We sat in the dining room off to the side with a view of the bay and the late afternoon sun. Our server was Robert, and he was attentive and professional. We started off with some great drinks, including Fager's Old Fashioned, the Garden Party and the All Cracked Up. All cocktails were fantastic! My friend's daughter ordered the Cream of Crab soup, and she shared some of it with me. It was heavenly; the broth was thick and had plenty of crab. For dinner, my friends had the Steak and Cake (6 oz beef tenderloin with a jumbo lump crab cake, roasted potatoes, asparagus and carrots) and the 8oz Filet of Beef Tenderloin with caramelized onions, mashed potatoes, asparagus and carrots). They both raved about the flavor and cooked temperature of their tenderloins. I decided to go with the Maryland Style Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes because I cannot seem to find better crab cakes than when I visit the Maryland area. These crab cakes did not disappoint! They were stuffed full of fresh crab and light on the breading, which is usually the opposite at other restaurant locations I've found while traveling. The cakes came with roasted rosemary potatoes, asparagus and carrots. It was a fine meal indeed! After dinner, we walked around the outside patio dining area and the pier area. It was a beautiful evening and the breeze off the bay was very nice. We enjoyed another cocktail as we watched the sunset. Afterward, we went to the dance bar area and were entertained by an excellent live band. This bar area was really hopping that night and we stayed for two sets as we were having a blast! They are several bar spots throughout Fager's Island, so it is always easy to purchase a drink here. It was an all-around Five Star experience!! read more

I came in on a Wednesday night before season starts and was sat right away and had my choice of inside, outside, or the porch - I chose the porch because it's still a little chilly!! Gavin was a super attentive server, greeted me as soon as I was sat and made sure that I had everything I needed. And my food was delectable - I ordered the scallops with lobster risotto and it was divine! The scallops were perfectly cooked, big chunks of lobster in the risotto, and the arugula was the perfect amount and flavor - I love that peppery kick that it has - overall a delicious meal! And I ordered a dirty martini that came just the way I like it..with a sidecar full of extra martini that didn't fit in the glass!! read more

We arrived at the bar and grabbed a corner seat by the deck, whcih overlooks the bay. Me and My wife ordered a Painkiller. Flavorful, fresh, but low on the alcohol department. While sitting we ordered the Fried Clamari. They claim it's fresh cut. It tasted like any other fried clamari and was good. Nothing spectacular. While sitting, chatting, and reading some literature we picked up from the O.C. RV Show, we were quite litterally inundated with fruit flys. I know it was not their fault per se`, but it was annoying. For the next round I ordered a tall 'rail' drink which had lots of ice and not much alcohol. I wasn't looking to do shots, I guess the lighter alchol content could be due to the fact that we are not locals and it was mid afternoon on a Sunday. Sorry, I failed to get pictures of my drinks or food, but lots of parking out front plus they have plenty of overflow parking for those busy times. read more

Made reservations for 6 at 6 pm. They have 2 different venues and menus, and it seemed like it was (according to our server) inconvenient to pick from both menus, but 2 of us did just that. Little did we know, it delayed our food. We waited over an hour until we got everything. My husband ordered the Prime rib with a baked potato and carrots and asparagus, all of which were barely warm. I had the fresh catch of the day, it was Rock fish with a cream sauce, tomatoes ( sun dried), capers, olives on a bed of spinach. it was not hot at all, although it was very tasty. I did not taste or see olives or capers. It would have been nice to have a side of starch like rice pilaf. I know they have been around forever and I am sure they are always busy but, we will not be returning. I can't speak for my friends, we just enjoyed our company, and try not to be negative. The guys let me know there was nothing to dry their hands in the men's room. The ladies room was pretty clean so no complaints there. I feel our meal was expensive even though we both ordered the 1/2 off specials. I realized everything is so much more expensive....it is just a shame our experience was not what we anticipated. I did let the server downstairs regarding the men's room. Our one friend has a prosthetic leg and we asked for a table downstairs but they seemed to not be able to want to accommodate us so we took the stairs any way. Nowadays ya hate to complain because the world is so crazy, ya hate to offend, but sometimes you just have to. I'm sure Fager's Island won't miss us, I just thought I should tell my story, for the record. There, I'm done. read more

We were able to get a last minute reservation and the manager was so kind to get us a table close to the water. Our waitress was so kind as well. I also ordered the summer breeze mocktail and it was really good, I was surprised I made it last throughout the entire time I was there. Started off with the raw Rockefeller oysters that had a good amount of meat to them and the crab soup was peppered which gave it a kick and made me want more. For the entree, I ordered the scallions with lobster risotto. I think about that dish till this day and it opened my eyes to scallions. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The catch of the day was Halibut and it was fresh and juicy and the portion size was bigger than anticipated and it was filling as well. The desserts are for more than one person so please note that as well, ugh the creme brûlée was so good as well! I will definitely be coming back and I had people ask me where I ate because they not only liked the appearance of the food from the pictures but the beautiful view as well! read more

My absolute favorite place to visit when in ocean city. Their food has gotten better and when we mentioned it to our waitress she mentioned that they revamped the menu and got rid of seed oils. The food was amazing and great to share. The oysters were perfectly salty. Caesar salad was large enough to share and the chicken had a great smoked flavor. This place has a gorgeous view of the sunset. You can hear the music from outside. I recommend walking or uber since parking is limited. They have fresh popcorn by the bar too for a snack. I love fagers!!! read more

Very disappointed with Fager's Island. The menu listed sea bass "with a large prawn", but what I received was two small pieces of fish (tasted frozen) and just one medium shrimp. For $52, that feels misleading and not worth it at all. When I mentioned it, the server Daniel he didn't seem concerned. First and last time dining here. read more

As you can see from my last review in 2022 I have been here many times in the past for lunch and dinner. I returned here on a Sunday for a friend's 30th birthday party. We had two tables of 8 each. 15 people attended the party. Since this was a birthday party a limited 3-course menu was arranged by her parents. I started with and enjoyed my two pain killers for $11 each. We shared and enjoyed the fresh cut calamari with cajun remoulade sauce for $17.50. We also shared and enjoyed the classic Caesar salad, which was very crispy for $16. I also enjoyed my prime rib, which was properly cooked medium rare for $51. It included fresh shaved horseradish, baked potato and vegetables of the day, which were slivered carrots and broccolini for $51. My prime rib was one of the tastiest I have enjoyed in the past couple of years. I also enjoyed my vanilla creme brulee for $11. I ended my dinner with my draft Guinness. Our two experienced male and female servers served both of our tables very well, including my table. We all agreed we will return here again for lunch or dinner. read more

The food there is absolutely amazing!!! I got the sea bass, and the combination of the sauce and the fish is just excellent! The sauce on top of the fish is a sweet, smokey like sauce. You would be amazed on how good it is! The fish does come fried with the bones in it and everything, even the eyeballs are in it too! The fish is nicely layed out on a platter. Our waiter was super helpful! I wish I knew his name so that I could put him on this review, but unfortunately I do not. I went with someone allergic to fish, so the waiter had to make sure everything was not near the fish, and he did that excellently! We sat outside with a view of the bay, and it was super pretty! They have a live band, too, and they were amazing! They sometimes confuse me because I think the real artist is singing the song! Overall, 5 Stars read more

I have loved fager's for some time now! Ive been to the restaurant for take-out, fine-dining, and regular outdoor dining. I have yet to stay in the hotel. On this visit, we sat in the covered patio area, as it was a little chilly out. We took a long from coastal highway down a long dark road, it could be a little better lit coming from the back way. So I don't recommend that route if you can help it. The restaurant was bustling, but our service was efficient. The crab cake entree is still good but now that it is more expensive, it seems less worth the price for what you get. The live music was a nice touch. So you can eat and then go dance it off. This does create a louder environment, so choose where to sit based on your mood. I'd definitely return to sit out on the water. read more

Had lunch last week been a while, since mom and dad passed we don't get to OC much but FI was our go to place. Did not disappoint. Onion soup is pier less. Bloody Mary is truly spiced and one of a kind. Can always count on their crab cakes to be #1 in Md. my wife's salmon was fabulous. Even though their merchandise store was not open the bartender hooked my wife up opened the store and she got her coveted Fager's sweat shirt. Awesome I am in my mid 60's and have been coming here for over 50 years. Even the furniture stays the same. We love Fagers. read more

Had dinner with my family, our waitress was Carly, she was very nice and accomdating. The restaurant was busy this evening and running alittle behind. We were warned before we were seated. We sat in the indoor/outside dining area with the view of the water. We ordered our drinks and food all at once. Started with rolls and cream of crab soup. It was the best I've ever had , it was warm but not hot. Then our entrees came out and I ordered the crab cake platter, the crab cakes were delicious and hardly any filler. My dad ordered the Salmon and spinach and my brother the steak , mash, veggies. It was an hour before our meals came out but everything was delicious once it finally did. Looks like there was a nightclub on the other side of the restaurant, a band was playing and people were partying ! It was a good time and I'll be back on my next visit to OC! read more

I made reservations for our anniversary here for sunset timeframe. This place is known for bayside sunset magic. Pair that with libations and dinner and you usually have a great time. They failed to acknowledge our anniversary, yet the table next us was set up for a birthday celebration. Thanks for nothing, not even a free desert or champagne. Started off with a fager old fashioned and the calamari appetizer. The calamari might have been the best we've had outside of Greece. The dinner went downhill from there. Joan ordered the crab (lumpless) cakes. We really thought a high class place like this could match the quality of Baltimore's G&M or Bel Air's Box Hill Pizzeria. Just no lump in those cakes. I ordered the grouper, but after tasting had wished it was blackened since it was sans taste. Ended the night with Lemon Lust desert and another Old Fashioned and another spectacular sunset. We hadn't been here for the last ten years or so. I doubt we'll be back. Service was spotty. Server kept forgetting to bring requested extra lemon for her crab cake. read more

Lobster Roll at Fager's a month ago and I am still smiling. 26 bucks and worth every penny. Chips good. My daughter got fries with hers. Good. Hubby got a sandwich. Good. Sangria had a nice rich taste. Good. We watched our server Audreyanna get seated 3 tables in less than 5 minutes. She didn't skip a beat. Acknowledged us. Let us know they were super busy, but would be with us as soon as possible, did a great job, and thanked us for being an easy table. Class act. Been there a dozen times or so, never a bad experience with food or staff. Can not go wrong with Fager's or Bad Monkey. read more

Restaurant right by the water with gorgeous sunset views. Our waiter was extremely friendly. Alcoholic cocktails here are SUPER strong. I enjoyed my crispy duck itself, but didn't care for how sweet all the things that came along with the dish. The sweet potatoes, sauce, carrots and broccoli were all sweet and sugary. I enjoyed eating the sweet potato with the duck. If you want a more savory dish, this one may not be for you. The fried scallops were delicious. Crispy outside and juicy/tender scallops inside. The seafood pasta was also delicious. There were a lot of clams in this pasta dish. read more

This is a nice venue, great space with two different sides to the restaurant. One side is fine dining and the other is a eccentric, cozy, chill space with an extended outdoor area an adjoined bar area. This place is packed for sunset but you can take a walk on the pier, grab a drink and have dinner after the early crowd leaves with sundown. The food is prepared well. The staple catch of the day has a nice subtle, tasty sauce and is light on the crab meat. The lemon dessert was good bit I'd prefer more lemon zest for flavor. The chocolate cake may be the safe bet and is large for sharing. The filet was cooked more than well, just passed as edible so maybe ask for medium and just send it back if you need a touch more heat. Crab cake is good enough for a staple surf and turf. The management and hostesses were more than accommodating to ensure we had the best options and timely seating. Great personalized care. I can see this being a staple restaurant in ocean city. The location, view, food, large dining areas are all a plus. read more

#1 The orecchiette pasta salad said it has Kalamata olives. Imagine my shock when the salad arrived with revolting black olives. #2 The menu also didn't say the salad has Parmesan on it (the Fauci jab made me lactose intolerant and bicurious). But that's a whole nother story. 3. We asked for waters for the table and our server showed up with one cup. Fager's Island? More like the Sahara Desert. Gonna blow up their bathroom later tonight Edit: Bonus DJ review.

Our first visit was Valentine's Day, quite busy but not slammed. In other words, there seemed to be open tables throughout our visit. We shared a creamy crab soup which was very good, with nice chunks of lump crab. I ordered a scallop entree that came with lobster risotto and arugula dressed in a lemon vinaigrette. (Both items were from the regular menu and not the special valentines menu.) My entree arrived but not my husband's (Cesar salad from the regular menu and Coquille St. Jacques app from the special menu). We started sharing my entree and were about half done by the time his food showed up. Apparently they came from two different kitchens, so the timing didn't synch up. I was pretty happy with my entree, but his were not good at all. A ginormous salad with mediocre dressing (it was missing the garlicy anchovy flavor of traditional Cesar) and the scallop app was meh. We brought home a slice of Lemon Lust cake, and it also was meh. The lemon flavor was too subtle to be meant for lemon lovers like me. Let's face it, I guess you go to Fager's for the sunset - and it was spectacular! I would probably return but try the casual dining menu next time. Maybe that's where their strengths are. (Oh yes - the cocktails were very good, and each woman was gifted a rose for Valentine's Day. Nice touch!) read more
