    A staple of OC that always offers entertainment whether meeting new people, watching the happenings of the bar, or chatting with the bartender. Genuine service at this place with very fair prices. Oh, you gotta participate in the photo booth and hang one of your pics on the wall.

    The Harbor Inn is the best time we've had in OC. Chad the bar tender, was the funniest, down to earth bartender. He made the best drinks. I love Rhonda too! All sorts of folks come here to this iconic bar!

    This is a great local.dive with some of the best service you will ever get in comparison to some of these other fancy overrated places at the beach. We've not only met nice people here but the staff always offers a very personable experience. It's fun, not pretentious and the prices don't kill ya. Chad and his barmaid are equally cool peeps.

    Hidden gem!

    Great people, great food make a great experience and that's what I got twice. Thanks to Lex, Paige…read moreand Erika. The first was two days ago. I got into OC at 2005 and was told by Primos they closed at 2000 and wouldn't serve me. So I wanted to try Fast Eddie's and went there. Lex checked to see if it ok to grab something to eat and let me in since it was empty and they were cleaning up. They were so nice and I know it was slow but they gave great service and the smash burger was great. Tonight was a late dinner so I walked over and was happy to find out on Sundays their happy hour specials are all day (at least right now) so I got buffalo wings (they were very large) and a smash burger with a side of onion rings. They were all amazing. Paige was there again and I mentioned the other night to Erika and how great it is to have customer service at that caliber. Definitely check this place out.

    We have been to Fast Eddies a handful of times and have always had a good, if not great experience…read more Two weeks ago was a different story. We arrived around 6 on a Saturday night and the place is busy (it always is). We are greeted in an ok time, it took longer than ever before (and we've been there when it's been busier). The young lady greeted us, took our order and left. We ordered boneless wings, fries, crab cakes, and soup. She came back about 5 mins later and said they sold out of crab cakes. I get it's the off season, but there really is no off season at Fast Eddies. So we ordered something significantly cheaper from the menu. When the food came out, it was just ok. My boneless wings were way overdone and the crab burger was just ok. When the check came, it seemed to be a little high, like she never adjusted the pricing from the crab cake dinner. We never received the itemized receipt and after she dropped the slip to sign, we didn't see her again. So we just signed the receipt and left, as we had plans to get to. I don't know if we'll be back to be completely honest.

    Don't be afraid to go for a late lunch on half price burger day, yes every Wednesday before six pm…read more Toppings aren't half off or are the specialty burgers. But it is still a solid half pound grilled Pub House burger for $8 plus toppings. I really enjoyed the lettuce wrap, the burger was crispy outside and juicy inside. None of that smashburger crap here, I got a thick patty brimming with flavor and still pink in the middle. Rippled cut potato chips sprinkled with old bay are the side. I couldn't stop eating them. Husband ordered a burger with a nice fluffy toasted bun, pepperjack cheese and fries, included lettuce, tomato and pickles. Solid. Medium rare by request also perfect. What more could you want? Oh, a $6 orange crush if you wait till 3 when happy hour starts. Trust me if this place were near my Phoenix home I would be a regular patron. Bet it gets rowdy with live bands and beach crowds, but at 3 pm, it's a quiet neighborhood pub. Try it!!

    Came here for some late night food and late night exploring! I am a big fried pickle connoisseur…read moreand I thoroughly enjoyed the pickles. It has a thicker slightly sweet batter, the batter stayed on and the pickles were crispy. The pickle shot had a sting to it, but it was not the worst! For thursday night, we had 3 dollar domestic beers which was a great deal! Pickles, service and beer deal is the only reason i'd give 2 stars. Downside is the bathroom, i've never seen a dive bar bathroom this bad. It is disgusting with fecal matter smeared around the wall, lack of toilet paper, dirty floors and just a lack of overall cleanliness. Not sure if it was just when we went, i'd hope they'll fix the woman's stalls.

The standout service really made the evening special everyone was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome.

Everything was absolutely delicious, and of course, we had a bottle of wine to top it all off. Such a wonderful dining experience from start to finish!

We did the fine dining and made reservations. We were sat immediately and welcome by everyone we passed through the restaurant. Employees were top notch. We had a window seat and were able to watch the sunset while enjoying out dinner, When sat we were celebrated with confetti for our anniversary. Which also included complimentary champagne with our dessert. Great place for a celebration. Being together 40 years we ended up ordering the same dinner. Steak and Cake. Filet with a crab cake. Food was awesome and seasoned perfectly. Not salt and pepper needed for our food. My husband even ate his veggies they were so good. Dessert my husband had is favorite creme brulee - vanilla and I had the blueberrt/strawberry cheesecake. I do recommend this place on the fine dining area. This side of the place was packed. As was the other restaurant. Parking was easy just a bit to find the restaurant.

I have been coming to Seacrets since 2010, and at this point it has become a rite of passage for any Marylander looking for the ultimate East Coast beach bar experience. I have survived the hilariously overcrowded Memorial Day weekends, end of summer Labor Day crowds, and even a few New Year's Eve bashes. Somehow, I have always left with another great story. Seacrets has added some serious upgrades over the years, including its own distillery and private floating cabanas for anyone who does not want to fight over the coveted water tables during peak summer weekends. My most recent visit was the weekend after Labor Day during Bike Week, when the crowd was much more subdued than the typical July and August madness. The water tables were still open with servers taking care of everyone, although there was unfortunately no DJ playing on the bay. Our group of five grabbed one of the horseshoe shaped tables in the water, which now has an umbrella providing some much appreciated shade. The drinks at Seacrets are always a hit. My personal favorite is the Dirty Banana with a rum floater. They have also started offering their own Beachin' canned cocktails, including lemon iced tea with vodka and a few vodka soda flavors. They were a great addition when we wanted something lighter and easier to drink in the water. Some people hate Seacrets because of the crowds and occasionally trashy party atmosphere, but that is also part of its charm. One thing Seacrets can guarantee is that memories will be made, even if a few of them are blurry. It deserves its reputation as one of the best beach bars in the country.

My favorite dish is the bowl with mahi but there are many other tasty options like the seafood bake which is a baked potato filled with shrimp, crab and a few other seafood items.

Staff is friendly, there's plenty of free parking at their huge parking lot, many outdoor seating and a nice view of the marina.

    We stumbled happily into Fish Tales while heading to buy bait nearby. At first, we walked into the…read moreoutdoor bar and thought, "Well... I guess this is it." Then someone directed us toward the back, where we discovered a huge outdoor restaurant. What a fun, totally hidden place! The floor is sand, the tables and decor are colorful, there are trinkets hanging everywhere and there's even a shipwreck themed play area in the back where kids can explore while waiting for their food. It has a laid-back beach vibe that's hard not to enjoy. Then there's the view. You're right on the bay, watching boats, birds, and people fishing. Oddly enough, seagulls really weren't a problem. The only one I saw patiently waited for a table to leave, then elegantly hopped into the sand, walked underneath the table, and grabbed a lone French fry. Smart bird. Service was attentive, the food was good, and the drinks were okay. I've had better cocktails elsewhere in Ocean City, but my mojito was refreshing. One thing that did annoy me was the cocktail menu. There were no prices listed anywhere. I asked our waitress up front, and she said most cocktails were around $10-$12, which is reasonable these days. So... why hide the prices? I know restaurants often leave prices off online menus because they want you to come in. But once I'm sitting at the table with a menu in my hand, just tell me what everything costs. One standout entree was the fried shrimp basket. Those shrimp had a delicious seasoning that really made the dish. The fish and chips was another winner...classic, tasty and well executed. The steamed clams were fresh, but on the small side. There wasn't any broth, butter, or sauce either...just a dozen small steamed clams. The crab cake sandwich was tasty, although we've had better ones elsewhere in Ocean City for about the same price. Overall, Fish Tales is a very fun place for lunch or dinner. It's about as casual as it gets. Plastic chairs, your feet in the sand, boats cruising along, kids playing on a shipwreck, and a great view of the bay.
