It was also extremely clean in both the bar and the seating area. The menu has a range of fresh food, and everyone in our party had a few items to choose from for dinner. We ordered a seared tuna bowl, the rockfish, the catfish, a fried shrimp dish, and a fish sandwich. I do not say this lightly, it was all phenomenal. There was not one bad bite at the table. Whatever you decide to order, just get the house rolls. I could not write this review without mentioning our all-star server who was incredibly helpful and understanding to all but especially our teenager with autism. She was a godsend and was incredibly knowledgeable about Matt's Fish Camp. This place is a must if you are in the OC, Fenwick, or Bethany DE area.

The cocktails were great, and the crab and pimento dip was just okay. I ordered the shrimp and grits from the daily specials menu and didn't love it. The shrimp came with the shells still on the tail, which I had to pick off myself. Also the chorizo wasn't crumbled, but cooked in the casing and then cut up, which made it rock hard and taste very strongly of iron. It's what I would imagine a blood sausage to taste like (gross!). I didn't finish my plate, which was a bit disappointing. My family ordered a crab cake sandwich and fried fish sandwich, which they said were good though. Not a bad spot to stop if you're on the north side of Ocean City.

As you can see we were here for the first time in March 2024. This was our second visit after…read morealmost 2 years. I returned here with my friend on Friday for happy hour around 3:45 PM. The main bar was not crowded when we first arrived so we easily scored two bar stools with backs overlooking the south side of the bar. The bar started to fill up after 4 PM. A guy with a guitar sang some songs as per last time. The views of the Atlantic ocean and the bay are great from the Vista rooftop bar and restaurant. . They now offer many flavors of margaritas. Before we left the bar, all high tops were full with customers including customers who were waiting for our bar stools. Some customers seized the high tops, while some went to the secondary bar. A second bartender was called in when the bar became very busy. I opted for my three strawberry margaritas with salted rims for $8 each. I also enjoyed my Tsunami Wontons with Atlantic lobster, jumbo lump crab, avocado, pico de gallo, and wasabi and red pepper coulis for $20. The happy hour menu is different from when we last visited. Bartender Mark served both of us very well. My friend and I split our bill in half. My share of our bill was $49 including a 3% credit card surcharge, but excluding gratuity. We agreed we will return here again for happy hour.

The waiter service was impeccable, our waiter was courteous and endearing and took excellent care of us, clearly had a lot of experience and as busy as he was he still happily took pictures for us The atmosphere was ideal in the patio and I'm glad we ate there as it was very crowded and noisy inside.

It's just beautiful to look out on the evening sky over the bay. So getting into it I ordered the froze at the recommendation of our server (i forget what I was between). It was good but I won't get again, I'm not big into the sweet frozen stuff so I should have known better, but I was trying something different. As a table we started with warm cornbread. Myself and my daughter got the shrimp and grits, can't ever go wrong! My father got the big fat crab cakes (his go to staple), and my mom went with simple fried shrimp. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and my daughter couldn't wait for dessert. Although I was too stuffed we got the triple chocolate brownie sundae at my daughter's request to celebrate my bday. I couldn't snap a photo before she dug in!! Service was wonderful, manager even came over to be sure everything was well. He even snapped a family photo for us on our way out. Will return for sure!!

We loved Catch 54 so much last year that we could not wait to come back for Happy Hour and…read moreBuck-a-Shuck Oysters & Clams again this year. I've been telling my wife for the past year how much she'd love it and it definitely didn't disappoint! My parents arrived in town earlier than we did and stopped here for happy hour without us, but we all made it back later in the week. A must try if you love oysters & clams -- just make sure you arrive a little before they open (4pm) because the bar fills up quickly!). We started with the star of the show, the raw bar of course! Between the 4 of us we had multiple orders of clams and oysters. We love oysters and a good buck-a-shuck is so difficult to find near us in Jersey, so we had to take advantage of this one. The oysters and clams always taste fresh--we've never had a bad one here. The calamari is tender and lightly breaded. The burger is a phenomenal deal served with their house-cut boardwalk fries that are to die for if you're a French fry aficionado! The food, both quality and prices, makes Catch 54 really stand out compared to so many other bars and restaurants of similar stature. My aunt loves crab cakes and said Catch 54's crab cake was phenomenal. Better than many other crab cakes she's had locally. Our drink orders included draft beer, the Sunset Spritz, and the Pineapple Martini (which was delicious and on happy hour!). The bartenders were great! Friendly, personable, attentive, made great drinks, and even remembered us from last year. That's unbelievable considering the number of customers they serve every night. Aside from the incredible, food-forward Happy Hour & daily Buck-a-Shuck (including weekends), another thing that sets Catch 54 apart from many other local restaurants we frequent in the area is the updated, modern decor and upscale, yet still casual, aesthetic that hits you as soon as you walk in. I've yet to experience anything but happy hour, but it feels like a place I'd take my wife for a dinner date. My only disappointment comes from myself -- I was only able to stop n once during our annual vacation but we made the most of it. Next year I'm going to make it a point to stop in more frequently.

We ordered burgers, wings, soup, macaroni salad, and drinks, and every item was flavorful and made with care. Even though it was late at night, the food tasted like it had just been prepared in the middle of the day--fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The service was equally impressive. Everyone was kind, welcoming, attentive, and efficient, making for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. If you're in Ocean City and looking for a great place to unwind with good food, cold drinks, and excellent hospitality, I highly recommend Tap House Tavern.

The Chicago Dog would hold its own against the best Cook County has to offer (shoutout Portillos), and the Cheesesteak Dog is a legitimately delicious cheesesteak. The cheese fries also kill it. Awesome. The drinks are excellent too. The orange crush, dangerous. My brain did the Simpson's "I'm in danger" meme, because they are crushable and apparently quite alcoholic. Big time yum from me. The service is also great and really friendly. And even the bathroom is great; it's roughly 10x cleaner than you'd think for a combination bar and hot dog stand. All in all, this is a total gem.

That's when you know it's good.
