There are a handful of must visit restaurants while we stay in Berlin every May for our annual vacation and Sunset Grille is one of them! We arrived right around 1:30pm on a nice (but breezy), sunny Saturday. Since it was a bit windy we decided to sit at Teaser's outdoor bar instead of out on the deck. We had our choice of bar seats on all 4 sides of the bar but the bar quickly filled up not long after. We chose the back side of the bar looking out at the marina which happened to be right by the orange squeezer which was a great move. The bartender, Kate (I believe), made many, many crushes while we were there. It's so nice seeing Orange Crushes made with fresh squeezed OJ. Kate was a pleasure to interact with and she made so many great recommendations (Spicy Mango Crush, Baltimore Club, Mediterranean Grain Bowl). We started with crushes of course, two Orange Crushes and a Grapefruit Crush. I then switched to a Spicy Mango Crush with a Tajin rim and I may have liked that better than the Grapefruit crush. My dad enjoyed my Spicy Mango Crush so much he ordered one for himself. My mom also switched it up and ordered an Espresso Martini which was a little disappointing to say the least. Per one of Kate's suggestions, I got the Baltimore Club which is a crabcake sandwich with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and shrimp salad served on an everything bun. The crabcake itself was really, really good and combined with all of the other toppings/fixin's I think this is a must order for me next time I'm here. My mom got the Applewood Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich and my dad got the Sunset Burger. All sandwiches are served with fries, slaw, or Mediterranean Salad. Everything was so good that we decided to come back the next day for lunch again. I ended up getting the Sunset Burger and my parents both ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich. Kate made another great recommendation as we all decided to go with the Mediterranean Salad as our side and it didn't disappoint. It was light, bright, refreshing, and citrusy. We've been coming to the area now from Jersey for years and have always had good experiences at Sunset Grille. The atmosphere is always great being right on the water but the food and service over these two days may have been the best yet. We will be back in June and will definitely be dining at Sunset Grille Marina. read more

First time dining at the Sunset Grille and it definitely won't be the last. Making a reservation was easy and the ambiance was clean and inviting with a beautiful view. Our server was attentive and checked in on us frequently. My husband and son shared a special for the day - the 40oz tomahawk steak with loaded mashed potatoes. Presentation-wise, this steak looked incredible. Flavor was on point, perfectly seasoned and the exact temperature requested (medium rare). My other son and I shared the crabcake entree and the crabcakes were delicious! Very little filler and moist on the inside. Asparagus was also perfectly cooked and seasoned. We were so impressed with this meal that we will keep Sunset Grille in rotation every time we come to Ocean City. read more

Everything about this restaurant start to finish was amazing, from the ambiance, drinks, service and food. There was a 45-minute to hour wait downstairs but self seating upstairs. So we decided to sit upstairs at a four-top table if which was right next to their patio outside seating . The ambiance was giving very much beach vibes and we loved it! I love the varying options in food choices, the lamb chops were delicious abd you got four, the cream of crab soup was delicious with nice chunks of crab meat. The drinks were amazing and the crispy lobster fingers were absolutely amazing! The restaurants well kept and the food came in great time and the service was fantastic. Kenzie was our server , she was very attentive and quick. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we'll be back ! read more

My family enjoyed a delectable dinner here and I suggest that you come enjoy the evening here on your next trip to OCMD. Our waitress was so friendly and helpful and she knew her way around the menu. I had the Tuna and it was better than I expected, superb! The sunset was magical and the atmosphere and scenery were top notch. read more

We went for an early dinner here. The staff is very friendly and we sat where we could see the water. I like the ambiance here. We ordered the mahi sticks, shrimp wrap and French onion soup. The soup was fantastic just a little Pricey. The mahi sticks were ok but the sauce that came with them great. The wrap was full of shrimp and tasty. I had a pomegranate martini that was super good. Our waitress was very good. I think we would come again but... I thought it was a little expensive for what it was. read more

July 2025 I'm not exaggerating when I say the Butter Poached Shrimp might be the best thing I've eaten in OCMD...ever... Last year's lineup from Sunset Grille was so solid, I didn't think it could be topped. Turns out, I was wrong. First surprise: the portion. I expected a tiny plate at a premium price, but it was generous enough to satisfy. Sure, some might say four shrimp isn't enough, and yeah, I wouldn't have complained about more, but realistically, it felt just right. Service was on point. Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and knew the menu well without overdoing it. The ambiance? Classic OCMD perfection. Indoor seating is fine, but nothing beats being out by the water with the boats near by, breeze in your face, & salt air mixing with the food. It's the kind of setting that actually makes things taste better. My wife went with the twin 5oz crab cake dinner, and we kicked things off by sharing the Aged Cabot White Cheddar rolls. Warm, buttery, and the perfect match to everything we ordered. Just like last year, this spot gets a wholehearted recommendation from us. We'll be back next summer. read more

Beautiful atmosphere. We sat on upper deck overlooking the marina. Server was very attentive. Every single bit if food was amazing. We got the sourdough bread and cheddar biscuits to start. So fresh! We got crab cakes, crab imperial and filet mignon. Everything was delicious, no complaints. For dessert we got the turtle brownie sundae and peanut butter pie in a jar. The portions were huge! The pie in a jar came home with us. Best dinner I've had! read more

Great view but that is the only thing nice about the place! terrible service! Unfriendly bartenders, rude waiter and waitress

We visited OCMD for the first time and ate dinner at Sunset Grill on our first evening. The food was well prepared and delicious and our sever, Manda, was delightful. Cocktails were also excellent and the bar had three bourbons I don't ordinarily see so I will need to return to drink more offerings. Recommend highly for great service, great food, great cocktail, aa romantic ambience a plus nice views of Sunset Marina. read more

Sunset grill is our favorite restaurant in ocean city. It has the best crab dip/crab cakes out of the many restaurants we have tried over the years coming for vacation. It doesn't ever normally disappoint, I will say the Australian waygu was a bit of a let down this time around. Not much flavor and overcooked/cold for what I normally prefer. The staff is always very pleasant and attentive. The resturant has an amazing view of the boat docks and on the water. read more

The food is great and view is incredible. You have to try the crab soup. Nice ambiance!!

We loved our visits to this restaurant this summer. Came for a bday dinner and on 4th of July. Both times we made reservations for a table on the dock facing the marina. The view is absolutely beautiful and the palm trees & decor is great for pics. The food was delicious. Everything we ordered with crab had huge portions of clean lump crab meat. The shrimp and crab tortellini dinner was everyone's fav so far. The drink menu is great and my husband loved the Pain Kill cocktail. The spicy margarita was a little sweet for me but still delicious. The staff is great and friendly. The pricing is average for this area and the portion sizes are very good, especially for seafood. We'll definitely come again. read more

It's been several years since I have updated my review of here so what better time on my 10th trip to do such a thing. Anyway - party of 8 for this trip, we had Gregory L. as our waiter. He seemed like a pretty straight shooter and quite attentive to the details: from breaking down the menu, tips, tricks and recommendations- as well as explaining his moves with placing orders and drinks. Started with an aged barrel bourbon Manhattan, and the table got several appetizers: burrata with focaccia, cream of crab soup. The burrata was kind of a mess: I've seen this become a trend at restaurants where burrata is just a pile of weirdly sliced tomatoes and a burrata in the middle. I would much rather have a smaller sample of tomatoes that way there's no waste but this was good. Would have also liked more balsamic on top of everything. The cream of crab soup was REALLY good. A little more liquid than a thicker style - but the flavors were insanely well-layered. Very good. For my entree I got the peppercorn wagyu steak with horseradish sauce and chimichuri. I added a crab cake as well and fresh vegetable medley. Everything was very fresh - BUT! THE STEAK WAS BADLY RARE WHEN I ORDERED MEDIUM! On a steak that is served sliced, there is no excuse for an undercooked steak. Don't send it back bc I'm a team player. For a dessert we ordered several options to share around the table: pie in a jar, cheesecake, and the turtle sundae. The pie in a jar is a MUST-TRY: peanut butter mousse, layered with Oreo pieces, and whipped cream on top. WOW. Seems simplistic but the flavors were great. The cheesecake was a toffee with Heath pieces. I believe the cheesecake was no-bake. But it was very good. I liked the toffee underneath the cake, and the heath pieces were very good. The turtle ice cream sundae was HUGE: like 3 brownies and 4 scoops of ice cream - covered in chocolate and caramel sauces with whipped cream. Overall this was a very good meal - but the steak being undercooked really kept it from a perfect experience. Overall very good. Again. read more

Crispy was a great waiter! Make reservations! We were seated inside on the bottom floor, but could see the water Pretty views of the water & boats and all of the fabulous looking homes along the water Menu is not extensive but just right. Various cocktail and drinks! I wasn't too hungry so I ordered: Lollipop Lamb Chops: delish and the sauce had just the right tang to it) and Blackened Garlic Shrimp: The bread with this was simply delish. Came with about 4 or 5 Large shrimps Drinks: Spicy Mango - Yum!!! Painkiller- refreshing Make sure to go upstairs to the bar! Huge space for outdoor dining, views of downtown Ocean City Very friendly employees! read more

Gorgeous views, really well done and balanced craft cocktails, and fantastic tomato mozz salad.

The outside table with the view was nice. When the band started playing, it would have been nice if you would have cut the restaurant music overhead. This way we could have enjoyed one sound instead of two jumbled sounds. The mahi fingers which have been a favorite of ours for years were less than adequate. Bland taste. Off night, maybe?Menu has changed alot! Very limited menu. oh well.....Once the food arrived, we were trying to enjoy our meal while being eaten alive by the flies. Some type of fly repellent equipment is much needed!! Not the fan I used to be of this place. read more

Crab soup had a great taste but not a lot of crab or vegetables in it, mostly broth. The food was fantastic, crab cakes were really good and came with a huge side of mashed potatoes that were good. We had a fish in cream sauce that was excellent. read more

ALWAYS a must! My family and I enjoy coming here every year when we vacation. The service was excellent from Emmy. The food is always excellent as well as the drinks. Great views and they have bands. Highly recommend while here! read more

Hubby and I came in for a light lunch while visiting OCMD. Good service, nice vibe with great waterfront view overlooking the Marina (outdoor seatings or by the windows). We didn't order much and food was decent. We ordered the Aged Cabot White Cheddar Rolls which was really good, also tired the Crab Cakes, and an Eastern Shore Cobb Salad with Jumbo Lump Crab. read more

So delicious! Sunset Grille is our go-to every summer for celebrating my husband's birthday with all the kids and grandkids. Food and atmosphere are phenomenal! We will see you in 2026! read more

Favorite in OC. Delicious food and perfect atmosphere. Enjoyed a table with a sunset and water view.

The food at Sunset Grill grill was well seasoned, tasty and the seafood was fresh. I ordered the Chesapeake Chicken with a baked potato, seasonal greens, and peeled shrimp. My friend ordered the crab cakes with mashed potatoes and salad. Both meals were delicious! The crab was very juicy, the chicken was tender and I loved the addition of the ham on top of the chicken. In terms of service our waiter Jared is a rockstar! He was kind, sweet and very helpful. The manager was amazing as well you can tell they truly care about customer satisfaction which I appreciate. The restaurant closes a bit early but you can go to Teasers next door for live music and cocktails! Teasers closes at 2 am. My only complaint is the way the staff delivers food orders. There is a standing table behind the bar that servers place food on before they transit the orders to patrons and it's a very high traffic area. Tons of people (customers and staff) walk by and lean over the food from multiple entry points which is not ideal. To know that food is waiting in a high traffic area with multiple people leaning over meals is unsettling. Luckily our food came directly from the kitchen. Overall it was a pleasant experience! read more

We went back this year and they had the shrimp with the tortellini again. :) My son said his burgers were the best he's ever had and they were just the kids burgers haha. Everything was delicious.

Service is terrible. We were there on a Thursday and our waitress was awful. Never checked to see if our food was good, never cleared our appetizer plates and never brought our check. Had to go to the front desk to even pay. For the price, go somewhere else! And we are locals! Manager said it was because it started to rain but the service was bad before that. We had the same waitress for new years and she was so awful then too. Never going back. read more

What a great place for family! We had our kids and grandchildren in from out of state and were looking off a waterfront restaurant. This place didn't disappoint. The food was fresh, portions were plentiful. The outdoor seating was perfect for our large party, including an active toddler! The waitress was friendly and accommodating, making great recommendations. The NY strip was cooked perfectly and the Eastern Shore Cobb Salad was very fresh. Yummy martinis too! Great all around. read more

Without boring with too many details, suffice it to say that the staff, especially Nick the manager turned a disaster into a satisfying experience. Our party of 8 was there to celebrate a birthday and despite the long wait on a busy Friday evening our food arrived. But, alas, my food did not. And it didn't until all the others were finished and then I only got half of my order. Nick the manager arrived after a request via our very competent waitress. He was most gracious regarding the bill and not only made amends but also presented our birthday guest with a a very generous gift card. As to the food I can't say, although the others seemed satisfied. The main point though, is that Sunset Grille was very responsive and caring during an off situation. That says a lot in my view and I would definitely visit again. read more

We were told we had to try this place while on vacation and it did not disappoint! Walked in to a lovely waterfall and a beautiful view of the bay. Hostess was friendly and seated us right away. Our server Savannah was friendly and very knowledgeable. My cocktail was perfect! The food was beyond what we were expecting. Crab dip (not pictured) was so good! Steaks were cooked perfectly. So much that we ate every bite. Can't wait to return in the future!! read more

Second time visiting Sunset grille in 2 years. One of the best spots in OCMD for a fancy dinner or to celebrate any occasion. We stopped here on Monday night to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Made reservations a week in advance to be able to get a table since it's so popular. When we arrived we checked in at the hostess stand outside and were told to go inside to be seated. We then went inside the restaurant to check In again and finally get seated. They asked us if we were still going to sit outside but I told them the girls sent us inside to be seated. Finally we were taken to our table in the far back of the restaurant to a single table against the wall directly across from a large table of 16. Very loud and inconsiderate of others dining that evening. The waitress stopped at our table after we looked over the menu and I asked politely to move our table. We were moved into a different area with no issues but were seated at a table which wasn't cleaned and reset for service. I had to take utensils and small appetizer plates off of a table close to us. There were other tables cleaned and ready but we were not able to sit at those. Service was 50/50 at best that night , it was crowded but it was a bit slower from the first time we were there and sat at the "set yourself" area without having reservations. Other tables were given options of specials that night , we never were told about them. Not a very friendly waitress, never checked to see if we needed anything. I was completely done by the time she asked if we needed more drinks. Food was still excellent as expected for what we choose to eat and drink that evening. read more

Visited on a Friday afternoon, off season, for a retirement luncheon. Plenty of parking, very clean and up do date decor inside and out. All staff seemed very welcoming. There were about Twenty of us, one waitress and one waiter-both were very good and did their jobs very well. Food was served quickly, and no one had a bad meal. Crab cake sandwich was delicious, soft shells were huge, and fish and chips looked very appealing. I would definitely return. read more
