A friend recommended this place when we were in Bethany Beach in December. The appetizers were a miss (chargrilled oysters don't come close to New Orleans and the Cream of Crab Soup had way too much roux). I had the Blackened Stuff Rockfish and my husband had the Seafood Medley (broiled scallop, shrimp, and lobster tail). The imperial that tops the rockfish was the best I've had, the salad was meh as were the sides - for some reason the baked potatoes are extremely dry and the zucchini and corn misses the mark. Natalia's service was 10/10. We returned in January and requested Natalia; this time we tried the seafood skins and my husband followed my lead but did The Big Tuna. Entrees were excellent. I've tried to unsuccessfully recreate that imperial, so we try to get down there every couple of months during the off season and only stick with the entrees. read more

What a nice local establishment. You can tell this place is a popular destination even in the off season. They have a huge parking lot to accommodate a large amount of patronage . It appears to be a local favorite also based on the crowd at the outside bar overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. There are various rooms, tables and booths throughout this restaurant. We requested a table overlooking the water and since we arrived shortly after 5pm, we were accommodated easily. My friend recommended this place as she used to live in this area growing up. It's on the border of Delaware and Maryland in a picturesque spot overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Our server was diligent and entertaining while serving a significant amount of tables. She, along with my friend, recommended I try the Rockfish (striped bass) since it's found here in the Atlantic. I ordered it blackened, with a Caesar salad and a baked potato. The fish was a nice, firm white fish and the seasoning complimented it perfectly. I would definitely order this again! If you are in the area, give this place a try. The locals can't be wrong, and it's a great place to relax and unwind, especially on the outside patio. We enjoyed an after dinner cocktail and listened to the two piece band on a gorgeous Friday evening read more

Went to Harpoon Hannah's by boat for Sunday brunch. My hubby wanted to watch over the boat while eating (our lines were a little short). Matthew, who met us in the reception area, was wonderful and went out of his way to ensure we got a table by the dock. Matthew informed us that our server was one of the best, and he was right! Cia was fantastic, pleasant, quick, attentive and brought refills before being asked. Both Matthew and Cia have beautiful smiles and are so welcoming. Hubby had the Eggs Neptune and I had the Eggs your way. Both were excellent. What a great experience all around. We will be back! read more

The prices for the food you get are outrageous. I was looking at this menu and they charge extra for everything. If you get a burger fries are extra. If you got a salad and wanted to add salmon it was 19 dollars! On top of 20 bucks for the salad. The shrimp we got was over cooked and the fries we added on came out cold and mushy. We politely asked for fresh/hot ones and I swear they just microwaved the bowl of fries and sent it back. The views are incredible and the outdoor bar is amazing but I won't be going back here. Idk how this place is packed every time I drive by. read more

I ordered the crab Neptune based on the friendly waitress' recommendation. We came to harpoon Hanna's after being turned away from another busy brunch spot. We waited shortly at Harpoon and we hear they are an equally good dinner spot. Benefits of coming here is that there's a bar to wait at while you wait and you can enjoy the water. One of the happiest surprises we had was that their brunch offered complimentary muffins and baked turnovers. Better than some crusty old bread!! The blueberry one was delicious. Sit outside on the deck if it's a nice day and enjoy the boats that pull up/past to the dock. This is great spot especially if you have a larger group to accommodate read more

If I am in Ocean City it is a guarantee I will be making a stop at Harpoon Hanna's. My husband and I love this spot right on the water and we always hit it at a time that isn't too crowded. We sit at the outside bar and have always received great service. I have have various things off their menu to include the chicken salad sandwich, coconut shrimp. I usually drink a Surfside while my husband gets a crush or a beer. We love our visits and can't wait to see you guys in about a month! read more

We went back to Harpoon Hanna's and again it did not disappoint. We've been coming to this place for 20 years and the food is always delicious. My wife was sad to learn that they no longer serve Turkey Burgers. But other than, that the crab cakes are still the best. And so are the drinks! The service is great and it's just a good place to hang out. read more

Was amazing. So good. They combined 2 soups at my suggestion: cream of crab and Maryland crab. Delicious! read more

We stopped at Harpoon Hanna's for lunch and unfortunately the overall experience was disappointing. As we approached the building, there was a very noticeable hot garbage smell outside. Once inside, the restaurant had a musty odor, so we decided to sit out on the deck. Unfortunately, the area of the deck where we were seated had a strong urine-like smell. When you're going to a waterfront restaurant specifically to enjoy the atmosphere, those kinds of odors really take away from the experience. On the positive side, I ordered the Sticky Chicky sandwich and thought it was decent. My other issue was the pricing. The chicken sandwich was already around $15, and fries were an additional $3.99. I completely understand that restaurant prices have increased, but nearly $19 for a fried chicken sandwich and fries seems excessive to me, especially since fries are normally a pretty standard side with a sandwich at this price point. The sandwich itself was fine, but between the odors, atmosphere, and pricing, unfortunately this isn't somewhere I would return to. read more

Excellent ambiance sat bayside outdoors. Good service food was very good enjoyable experience

We stopped by Harpoon Hanna's for drinks, appetizers, and live music. The wait during the summer months and weekends are as long as it has been for years so no surpise there. The parking lot is massive, caution driving about as families and groups walk about. We went during White Marlin Open and of course, sightings of MJ and his crew on Catch 23 was elusive. Next time ;-) Our server Ms. Jamie was a riot! She balanced all her tables like none other. Hungry and thirsty crowds piled in and out yet she met us with a smile and humor until we left! She took great care of us and made sure everything was to our liking. Drinks stayed flowing and appetizers were filling. We tried the coconut shrimp, crabby fries, ahi tuna, and oh the basket of muffins. Definitely stop by and weather permitting, go outside and enjoy the live band! read more

First - we love Jamie! She was an excellent server - great attitude, super friendly, super attentive! Food was great! We got crab cakes, crab pretzel, tuna and crispy rice, bang bang shrimp - all delish. Skip the sliders and fries. Those were just meh. Super cute interior. Love the decor. Def recommend! Live music was a plus read more

Writing this review breaks my heart completely. Since I was a kid. My kids were kids . We have always loved this place. We all talked about the seafood skins. Our favorite for decades ! My husband and I felt very unseen at the bar and unwelcomed . We weren't even sure who exactly our bartenders were. Nor were told any names . Out of the three burnt but cold potatoes we received ... 2 shrimp. 3 scallops and what resembled a table spoon of crab cake covered in a mountain of cheese to cover it up. No old bay . 45 minutes it took to receive these . We were pretty certain that they had just forgotten us .in everyway. The whole experience was as sad and extremely dissatisfying. For the price etc no thanks . A family tradition went out the door that day ! Harpoon Hannah's! If anything thanks for bad experience for the fact we have found better places to dine . read more

ABSOLUTELY HORRID! Do not waste your time NOR money. I counted 12 servers doing NOTHING...as we were waiting for a fan for the flies which none worked. Food was horrible. Do not recommend EVER! (Sad , use to be a great restaurant) read more

Fantastic time! Stunning location to listen to great live music or watch your favorite teams on their indoor or outdoor television sets.

Really tough to grade this place as there were so many ups and downs, positives and then not so positive -- all good item related. Service was good, our waitress, Emma maybe? was very nice and helpful. With how much ice they put in the glasses of diet soda, she was running gassers to provide refills. We started out with the cheesesteak egg rolls and crab dip, and I a cream of crab soup. The table also gets a basket of assorted breads and muffins. Eggs rolls: A - great flavor, large, full of food and served with a ranch dipping sauce. Easily one of the best single items you can get on the island. Didn't strike me as a frozen item. Crab Dip: C - to me this was a let down. Raw baguette slices along side with the crab dip which was very bland to me. Wish there was a heavy amount of salt and old bay stirred into the dip. Bread Basket: A- - the coconut muffins were very very good. Raisin bread was dry, but the frosting was still good. For an entree, I went with the filet steak which came with a side. I ordered the mac and cheese. Steak was overcooked, but good. The Mac and cheese was like buffet style, been out for awhile mush, not good. Overall - get apps and a burger. And get extra coconut muffins. read more

The tropical salad is awesome. I had it as a side. The shrimp on the salad was soooo fresh. Cocktails were solid. I had the "lightly blackened" Rockfish with the crab imperial. Way too much salt. But, the ish was still awesome. Next time I will just have it broiled. Marybeth was our server and she was incredible. Great service! Lastly, the check for 8 with drinks was just over $500 with a 22% tip. A good bargain read more

Large, nice restaurant overlooking the water. Food was delicious. Your table is provided with an assorted bread basket to begin. Chicken imperial was delicious with a nice crispy breading, creamy sauce and quality crab filling. Will return here to try more. read more

Do not recommend the crab legs. They came out barely luke warm which made the legs hard to crack since they were more soggy than anything. I also asked for the small fork that usually comes with crab legs and was told the bartender couldn't find one which also made it hard to pull the meat out of the legs. Overall, was a disappointing meal for the cost. I usually like this place but I'd order anything else and not get crab legs again. read more

The Pretzel with Crab dip was sooo good! And the Bacon Jam smash burger was fantastic. Our server was a really nice guy and personable. We were sat looking at the river. It was crowded but wasn't noisy. It was my first time ever in Delaware. read more

I have been coming to Ocean City MD, since my parents first vacationed there in 1972. This was the first time I visited Harpoon Hanna's since it opened in 1983. Wow! First the wait to be seated was a little long, but oh so worth it!. The food was phenomenal, I ordered the the Sea Food Trio, not sure that's exactly what it was called but great none the less. It was lobster tail, scallops and shrimp with a side salad and fries.. It was so good! The staff friendly and prompt. My son had crab legs and the wife had seafood pasta dish. Oh and on the table a basket filled with muffins and breads.. Delicious! We will be returning every year! read more

Don't come here. It's not good. Someone suggested this place since it was our first time in ocean city. Overpriced and food is not worth it. Wife's fried fish was overcooked and rubbery. Alfredo seafood pasta was bad. Seafood wasn't bad, just the sauce. Save your money and time and head somewhere else. Hooked is same price area and a lot better quality. read more

Love this spot! We sat outside on the deck by the water for happy hour and had orange crushes and appetizers! We really enjoyed the steamed shrimp and the coconut shrimp! We also ordered the crab cake egg rolls and the boom boom shrimp which were also very good! Enjoyed listening to the music outside as well- perfect day! read more

Food was good but don't accidentally leave your purse. After our purse was left, we called the restaurant who indicated that they looked everywhere and could not find the purse. We then said, let's just go by the place and look ourselves. We looked at ourselves and could not find a purse. We then found the waitress who served us and she says that she might have seen the green purse. We then patiently asked for the manager who looks himself and questions all the waitresses, and then Walla, the green purse appears. Food is good, but don't leave your parts read more

Ordered fish and chips on the menu. The fish that was fried was grouper. The fish was overcooked and inedible. The French fries were too salty and also cold. This is the third time we've had a bad experience here so we won't be wasting our money again. read more

Harpoon Hannas is a stop we always make down the beach, often more than one time. I will say, not so much for the food but absolutely for the atmosphere and service. Personally, if you're a regular at the beach, I think the tiki side is the way to go. You're going to be paying beach prices with a limited menu, you may as well enjoy the view and sit by the water. Also, as the night goes on you'll want to stick around to run into familiar faces or just enjoy the music or ambiance. The restaurant side. My first experience here was on the outdoor dining portion of the restaurant, which honestly is the best option for this side. You can enjoy your breadbasket/muffins while watching pontoon boats pull up, boaters go by, or if you're lucky some dolphins. You're kidding yourself if you think very many of the places down here are actually sourcing locally caught seafood. So let's just lower expectations now. I've ordered swordfish here and really enjoyed the portion along with the sides and as I said, the ambiance is why we're here. Contrarily I've dined inside for the pure fact that I just wanted to enjoy company and some AC. I tried the shrimp Cobb this year and I'll say this, four shrimp and half a head of lettuce for the price may as well be highway robbery. lol. But splitting it with my bf, along with a plate of chicken tenders, made the lack of substance that much more bearable. Moreover I emphasize, I'm here for the memories. And frankly, Harpoon Hannas food is FRESH and better than plenty of places I've had the dissatisfaction of spending my hard earned money on here down the beach. That being said please don't let my review discourage you from coming however let it be the warning to curb your expectations and remember where you are. So, just sit back and enjoy. It'll be a helluva lot more enjoyable if you check your privilege and just enjoy a few adult beverages to calm those Karen nerves. read more

We had a great time here for dinner on a recent Sunday evening. The live music was family friendly, and at one point nearly everyone outside was singing along to "Sweet Caroline" - so good, so good! Three things I recommend: 1. sit outside (but not too close to the speakers) and enjoy the Tiki bar atmosphere 2. the delicious new Firecracker dish 3. yummy crab cakes. This is a yearly visit we truly enjoy! read more

5 Stars - A Birthday Dinner Worth Repeating! We were vacationing in Fenwick Island celebrating my son's birthday, and with a party of six and high expectations, Harpoon Hanna's came highly recommended--and it absolutely delivered. This is one of those spots where the locals know what's up, and it shows from the minute you walk in. The vibe? Relaxed, coastal, and buzzing with happy diners. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and even though it was busy, we were seated and served quickly. The drinks came out fast and well-made, and our server was a total gem--friendly, attentive, and full of personality. When I mentioned it was my son's birthday, she didn't hesitate--cheesecake, candle, the whole crew singing--on the house. That kind of thoughtfulness goes a long way. As for the food: * My wife had the ahi tuna, and it was perfectly seared and beautifully plated. * I went classic with the fish and chips--crispy, flaky grouper with fries that hit the spot. * My son tackled the seafood feast--a broiled lineup of grouper, scallops, shrimp, and a crab cake. No filler, just fresh seafood cooked right. But let me tell you about the muffins. Yes, the muffins. These things are the sleeper hit of the meal--coconut, blueberry, and this glazed raisin bread that we shamelessly took home for breakfast. Harpoon Hanna's is the only place I know where the bread basket fights the entrée for top billing. All said and done, six meals, four drinks, outstanding service, and a memorable birthday celebration--all under $300 with tip. In this day and age? That's almost a miracle by the water. We'll definitely be back. Harpoon Hanna's isn't just a tourist stop--it's a tradition in the making. read more

Dined here for the first time tonight. We waited 45 minutes to be seated--understandable, as the place was bustling. The staff? Warm, welcoming, and attentive. But the food? A mixed bag, at best. We ordered two New York steaks--same cut, same order, yet wildly different in taste. One was flavorful; the other fell flat. The crab legs? Solid. No complaints there. But the prime rib? Overcooked, dry, and disappointing. Frankly, most of what hit the table seemed a bit too long in the fire. However, when we mentioned the issue with the steak, they were gracious enough to remove it from the bill and give credit for it. That was appreciated. For the price point, though, we expected more consistency and a bit more finesse in the kitchen. Kind service can only go so far when the food doesn't quite hit the mark. read more

Love Harpoon Hanna's! The food isn't the best but the atmosphere is great and the servers are fun and friendly. If it's in season expect to wait. We love to go in the afternoon. I love their spinach salad with salmon added. My husband loves their wings! The steamed shrimp are good too. The drinks are weak but the water view is beautiful and it's just a fun place to go. A Delmarva must. read more

We've been coming here for years, and it's always one of our favorite spots whenever we visit Fenwick Island. The staff is consistently friendly, and you really can't beat the location right by the water. It's so relaxing to sit outside and watch the boats come and go. They also often have live music in the afternoons and evenings, which we always enjoy. The hot muffins are amazing -- especially the coconut and blueberry -- and the apple turnovers are delicious too. The crab imperial is usually my go-to dish, but on our last visit I tried Hannah's Filet Chesapeake. The steak was perfectly cooked and topped with a generous portion of crab imperial. It's also a very family-friendly place. On our last visit, they had a large box filled with small toys for kids to pick from, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our waitress told us about it, and it made the experience even more fun for the kids we had with us read more

We got to the restaurant at around 630. It took us about 10 minutes of waiting in line to get seated, and when we were seated our server didn't come to us for like 7 minutes. When we got our drinks, my father's vodka was watered down, and me and my mother's drinks were flat as soon as we got them. We ordered our food and we only got it at around 7:50. My father's steak was bland, completely unseasoned. Every time the server came, if my drink was empty, he would get my mother a new drink and didnt get me one until my mother pointed it out to the server. read more

I have been coming here over 30 years and this past summer has been the worst ever for quality of food and service. But I went to Sunday breakfast today and had the worst service and food. Twice we had to go search the restaurant for our waitress. The irritating part of our search was the 2-3 booths of waitresses just sitting there. When our waitress brought our food she had no idea who ordered what and did not even know the food was. She was calling out a dish and no one ordered it. So we had to tell her what was missing and she advised oh this must be that. Our food was cold . . . the plates were not even warm from a heat lamp. The Hollandaise sauce on the eggs Benedict looked like a thick lumpy mess so we knew the butter in it solidified from cooling. We sent 2 egg dishes back. She brought the 2 dishes back and the eggs were almost raw on the 1 dish. I didn't eat it and the waitress never inquired. read more
