Visited this restaurant again this summer on a very first night that we came to Ocean city. Around 6 pm, but as always, it was packed. We sat outside. Our server was very friendly and even though he was busy, he attended our table very well. He was polite and friendly. We got Nachos for appetizers. It was really good and tasty. Even the presentation was nice. So good that I didn't have a chance to take a picture before digging in. For main course we had Fish & chips, kids chicken tender, Fish tacos and crab meat burger. They were all tasty and hot. We never regret eating here. It always meet our expectations and even my picky eaters kids love this restaurant. read more

We were expecting a lot given how amazing Off The Hook is (same owners). Boy, were we disappointed! Pros: - Lobster pasta was excellent - 1/2 price entrees on certain days Cons: - Clueless matire d' - Slow service - Workers seemed very unhappy to be there - Many tables open but yet still 30 minute wait - Salmon overcooked (couldn't even do it right the 2nd time!) - No bread option available (they did it as a special request; waited 20 minutes) - Menus are dirty loose pieces of paper - Website doesn't list events or specials - Family Feud night a joke read more

This place is amazing and awesome if you have kids because it has the fenced in playground, but the food was pretty bad. They claim formed a table, but my mahi-mahi over cheese grits was so tasteless and bland. All of the dishes that we all ordered were not that great.. But the kids had a blast! read more

OCEAN CITY, MD: With a name like Tailchasers Restaurant & Dock Bar, you know it is going to be dog friendly, and it absolutely delivers. This dockside restaurant has a fully covered outdoor deck right along the canal, welcoming leashed and friendly pups with open arms. They even offer pup‑approved menu items like chicken or a burger! We hung out at the bar, enjoyed great conversation with our server Abbie, and crushed some seriously good drinks. With an American‑style menu and a big emphasis on fresh seafood, this spot is a must‑visit if you are exploring OC with your dog! read more

Service here was outstanding. We had a six-year-old with us and they made sure to get his food out ASAP which made the whole experience way more enjoyable. Food was good all the way around. Loved the lobster pasta dish - more than enough for 2. Good cocktails as well. The best part was that they got us in and seated rather than experiencing long wait. read more

Ok Tailchasers, I see you!! We stopped in here the moment we got to the beach because we wanted cold beers, good food, and a water view--and this place delivered on all three. The service was friendly and fast and the food was so good! (Bonus points for having Duckpin on draft.) A new favorite spot for sure! read more

We had such a great experience at Tailchasers. We both started with a grapefruit crush, and it was so good that I knew after the very first sip I'd be ordering a second one. Perfectly refreshing, bright, and exactly what you want on a beach‑town evening. We shared the pretzel with crab cheese dip, and that was phenomenal -- warm, soft, and paired with a rich, flavorful crab dip that tasted fresh and indulgent without being heavy. For my meal, the crab cake was very good, full of flavor and nicely done. My Caesar salad was crisp and well‑dressed, and the fresh‑cut fries were perfect -- exactly what you'd hope for from classic boardwalk‑style fries, just served in a restaurant setting. Hot, salty, and addictive. Between the drinks, the food, and the relaxed coastal vibe, Tailchasers absolutely delivered for us. We'll definitely be back. read more

so here I am in Ocean City Maryland. This is my first visit here ever. I'm actually here for an AAU basketball tournament. So, between games on a Saturday afternoon. I dropped five girls off at Starbucks across the parking lot from this place. They were walking back to the recreation center where the tournament was. The wife and I we're looking for a restaurant for lunch, and tail chasers was right in front of us. We decided to check it out. It was actually a great experience. We sat out on the deck overlooking the canal It appears they have a nice outdoor bar there and from that vantage point you would not know you were in a strip mall parking lot. The food was good / above average, but I will say the service was outstanding. Our server was probably a young girl home for college for the summer, but she knew the menu. She knew the wine list and she was very attentive. that lunch experience was so nice, my wife wanted to go back the next day. We didn't, but we should have. read more

We stopped in here for lunch during our day on ocean city. The restaurant has a modern design that feels casual and classy at the same time. The staff were helpful and checked in regularly to make sure we're were doing ok and taken care of. I got rock shrimp and the mussels which were both delicious. The rock shrimp were well fried and full of flavor and the mussels were cooked well and matched perfectly with the white wine garlic sauce they were in. My mom loved her nachos and my dad loved his shrimp tacos as well. We all really enjoyed our meals. read more

Stopped by tail-chasers for a late lunch and it didnt disappoint. It was semi interesting standing at the front and no host was at the front to seat us. After 10+ mins we headed through the restaurant to the back patio bar and self seated. The patio/bar is beautiful backed up to the water on the bay side. The food was great and super tasty. Highly recommend the nachos and house hot sauce. The lobster roll was straight forward and very good. read more

We picked it here for kid friendly playground location and heard food was good. We ended up doing first available and sat inside away from playground and didn't visit it at all haha. But the food! So good! Way better food than other kid places. The ahi tuna nachos were so good as well as poutine. My fish tacos were bomb. Only issue was my sister is pescatarian and on the menu it didn't say sausage was in clams sauce. She is ok with it but could be issue with others. Server was super attentive and they got us in and seated way under estimated time. We will go back for sure and actually check out playground read more

This was by far our best meal at the beach. Everything was so delicious, hit, and fresh. We arrived around 5pm and there was a line out the door to get seated but it moved very quickly. The upstairs was so cute and a small, quaint space that felt more private. Our food came out extremely quickly and our server was attentive and checked in with us. Everything we ordered was delicious! This is one of my favorite crab cake sandwiches in OC! read more

I enter an establishment at 4:30 on a weekday and it's empty, and smells like glade air freshener spray. The people there did not seem to want to work. Everyone was standing around just gossiping. We sat at the table inside and waited about 15 mins to get a server. I realize this is pretty normal here in OCMD, but there were a lot of people standing around and a handful of people eating. The server was a nice guy. He wasn't one of the folks standing around. We were hopeful. Drinks were watered down. They were supposed to be frozen. We ordered brisket Putíne. Absolutely flavorless. Had to add salt and pepper to make it edible. Even my teens didn't like it. I personally had the shrimp tacos. They fell apart, and were inconsistent in prep. One had 2 shrimps, the other had 4. One had sauce, the other did not. The taco was falling apart after the 3rd bite. Very unpleasant to eat. The oysters we ordered had tons of shell pieces in it. Again, down to the preparation. My husband had the lobster roll. It was actually good, but the portions of lobster were a joke. We went to the crab factory down the road a week ago and the value, bread and amount of lobster was a better value with equal taste. Overall, this seems like a tourist location and very hit or miss. Our experience was definitely miss for the price. read more

Food, Service and ambiance were great! We loved the short rib poutine, Mediterranean salad, crab cake and crushes. Would 100% come back. Also, great bay view and sunset! read more

Food was yummy. Lots of different places to sit. The kids menu coming with an ice cream wars hit for our kids !

We visited tonight with the family for our first time. Although we were told the wait would be about 20 minutes, we were seated pretty quickly. The restaurant has a very warm, homey feel. Since it was our first visit, we ordered a variety of items to try. The kids had chicken tenders, fried shrimp, burgers, and grilled cheese they loved everything. We also ordered wings (requested well-done), but they were still pink inside. We didn't mention it at the time and just asked for a box so we could re-cook them at home. We also tried the shrimp tacos, vodka pasta, and flounder. The shrimp tacos and vodka pasta had great flavor, while the flounder was just okay. Our server seemed very busy and didn't check in often or refill our drinks, and the food took a while to come out -- and when it did, most of it was lukewarm. The kids' fries were very greasy, as if they had been re-fried, and the fruit didn't seem very fresh. They were also running some great specials, including half-off kids' meals, half-off entrées, and Sunday football deals. I'd recommend double-checking your bill, though a few items initially rang up at regular price, but the manager corrected it right away, which we appreciated. Overall, we really enjoyed most of the food, aside from the pink wings, oily fries, and lukewarm dishes. We're happy we found this place and definitely plan to return. read more

Food was very good, and nice sitting outside. They have a large variety of Crushes but it was a mixed bag about people liking them.

Great experience for the second tine. Sat outside upstairs and it was lovely. Food was delicious and service excellent. Had our grandchildren with us. Perfect dinner out. read more

Met some friends at Tailchasers for dinner, and for a Friday night with a party of 7, the wait wasn't bad at all. Service was decent--nothing out of the ordinary, but everything came out smoothly. Beer was ice cold, which is always a win. I ordered the Alfredo and was pretty disappointed, but that's on me for going pasta at a seafood spot. My friends had the fish and shrimp tacos, and they looked fantastic--they said they were delicious. Overall, it's definitely worth a visit, just stick to what they're known for: seafood. Lesson learned! read more

The best key lime crush all trip. The playground was a huge hit with my kids. They can play while you eat and it's nice to sit in the sand out back. The inside was pretty good. At the end of the meal, kids get to go in and pick their ice cream out of the freezer which they loved. Our server was great too, he gave suggestions and was super busy yet attentive. Try to go for early dinner to beat the rush. Absolutely a great place for kids and adults in OC! read more

I have few complaints here about the food other than I should have gotten the ahi tuna nachos! We thought about it but got other things and we saw order after order passing us and they looked so good. We ended up getting a shrimp po boy and burger. Both were good and the fries that came with it were amazing. We also had fish tacos and tuna poke. The fish tacos were really and fried just right but for some reason I assumed they would be grilled. I would have liked that due to heart issues. The tuna poke was a nice sized portion but there was a little to much sauce and honestly the tuna was not pink but brownish. It tasted fine and my daughter just assumed that it turned colors due to the sauce. The hostesses? They looked like you were bothering them. You walked up to the counter and 3 of them stood there and just looked at you like you're an idiot. I had to say "hello. we have a party of 4". If they are the front face of your establishment, they need some more guest training. read more

My daughter and I were in OC at our beach house and wanted a yummy dinner. Tailchasers is one of our fave spots. Be prepared to wait, we waited about 45 minutes but there is a cute store next door so we did some shopping. The hostess asked if we preferred inside or outside, outside of course. I had the tuna special of the night. It advertised having a charred corn and jalapeño salsa but did not come with that and although it would have benefited from the spice and acid it was still fresh and tasty. Our waiter mentioned they could do a watermelon crush and I was all about it. Our server was attentive and kind, as were all who worked here. We will absolutely be back and I recommend you give it a try. read more

We liked that they have an outdoor playground that is fully enclosed. We had the kids eat and then they were able to go outside to play while we could stay longer inside. They have happy hour every day from 4-6pm and they have great options. We really liked their calamari and the nachos were delicious too. read more

We were looking to find a place that could do seafood that's not all fried -- found it!! The venue has an outstanding menu with some traditional favorites, but also a lot of creative and delicious preparations. We had the fish tacos and the sticky rice with grilled Thai chili shrimp and both were delicious!! if you are a fan of Crush-beverages, then be sure to have the Keylime Crush. Service was quick and friendly, our food and drinks also arrived quickly, the ambiance is nicer than the "typical old OC" venues with both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Please bring back the old menu!! They recently changed their whole menu and is much more limited now. Going into summer, it would be nice to have more casual options like before read more

We usually stay on the boardwalk and have our go to places but this year we got a place on 107th street and had to find all new dinner places. Based on yelp reviews we decided to try out Tailchasers and we were very impressed!! The service was wonderful, food was delicious and the price was not terrible. They also had a playground to occupy the kids when they were done eating the one bite of food they ate before they were full so us grownups could enjoy our meals and drinks! Also the view of the sea was also very nice!! read more

Friday evening, Labor Day Weekend Edition: We needed food fast and I was really wanting to grub on seafood since naturally, we're at the beach. With little ones, we knew we couldn't go anywhere quickly, so we ordered takeout. Calamari - Decent Cioppino - The base was well done. They did not skimp on the seafood, a little on the crostini they provided, but several pieces tasted extra "ammonia-y." I didn't finish after the second ammonia bite because I did not want to be hugging the toilet the rest of the trip (better safe than sorry). We asked to sub pesto fries instead of regular fries with our burger, but got charged for pesto fries on the side. The pesto fries were disappointing because it was (oily) pesto sauce over fries. Hubs burger was overcooked. Truffle Smashed Potatoes were not good: they were oily and had zero truffle taste and too much horseradish. I couldn't stomach finishing it. Standard pricing with other similar seafood restaurants in the area. If you're craving seafood, this isn't great, but it's not terrible either. read more
