For the Labor Day weekend, we spent it in North Wildwood. In Monday afternoon, we headed up the coast and then decided on dinner in Ocean City. Our first time visiting this town. On the boardwalk, we met Adrienne who greeted us and sat us. Our spaghetti and meatballs we ordered was very good, but the service we received from Adrienne was prompt. %hey accommodated us as we arrived an hour before dinner.
We had a great time.

My husband and I stopped in for dinner on our last night of vacation, with our baby. The servers were personable and kind. Yes they charge for refills but many restaurants on the boardwalks do, and the servers tell you when you order a refill to ensure it’s still okay. The food was very yummy, and again reasonable for eating on the boardwalk. We enjoyed our visit, and will return next summer when we come back!

Clean, reasonable size menu (no pizza) with several pasta variations, chicken sandwiches and some salads. I had the chicken parmesan sandwich and it was quite good. Good sauce and flavorful chicken. Fries were also good. Prices are OK given they are on the the boardwalk.

Plenty of other reviews have gone into the same details, or had horrible experiences. We didn’t have a terrible time, the server was excellent, all the staff we interacted with were lovely. Even so far as when we mentioned that someone in our party has a shellfish allergy, they assured us that the kitchen would keep things separate (and did from what we could tell).
The trouble comes in simply with small things adding up to make the experience difficult. Limited payment options, cash only tips, teeny tiny side salads, only bottled water, expensive drinks, not all menu prices being clearly listed. Someone else said it best that when looking at the bill it just feels like the prices are designed to nickel and dime you, and make it harder to keep track of.
I certainly empathize that boardwalk prices are expensive, and I’m sure the cost of operating a tourist cafe is astronomical, but it felt like the cost-saving corner-cutting has crossed the line into harming the experience.
The food was good, but nothing blew us away, and having to consciously parse the menu for prices to make sure we didn’t spend more here than anywhere else (we did anyway, 100$ for two appetizers and one dinner entree) just made us a little uneasy the whole time.
I really hope they can turn it around, because it seems like it’s just gotten hard to stay open, and it’s starting to show.

Stopped in for lunch. Very welcoming and friendly staff, that even offered to make my husband a sandwich he was craving that was not listed on their menu.
The restaurant – including the bathroom – is clean. A bit pricey but not more so than any other food establishment on the boardwalk. We each had a tasty Panini and were pleased with the fresh ingredients.

Ocean Café really said, “Let’s see how much we can charge for 6 ounces of iced coffee and get away with it.”
Menu says “Coffee $4.70,” and then—buried lower down—“Hot coffee $1.50 extra. Iced coffee $2.00 extra.” No price listed for flavor shots, because… mystery is part of the charm, apparently?
I ordered a flavored iced coffee and nearly FELL OVER when the total came to $9.06. That’s right. Nine dollars for a drink smaller than my hand. Flavor shot? That’s $2 extra. Why? Who knows. Maybe it’s infused with liquid gold. The math? Still unclear, possibly developed by NASA.
For reference, I’ve included a photo of their menu and my drink next to my hand for scale (spoiler: my hand won). I’m also including a photo of the 24 oz Wawa iced caramel coffee I bought afterward for $3.99, just to remind myself that sanity still exists.
TL;DR: Unless you enjoy overpriced tiny beverages and menu math that requires a calculator and a prayer, grab your iced coffee LITERALLY anywhere else on the boardwalk.

Ah yes, the Ocean City cafe where the ambiance whispers fine dining but the bill screams daylight robbery. First off, $3 for a root beer? I didn’t realize I was drinking liquid gold straight from the Fountain of Youth. For that price, I expected the waiter to pour it into a crystal goblet while reciting Shakespeare. Instead, I got… a paper cup. Then came the salads. Sixty dollars for three piles of lettuce. Unless those greens were hand-picked by Michelangelo himself, I’m not sure of what I just paid for. Maybe the lettuce went to private school? Maybe the croutons have a 401k? And the grand finale, I asked for five shrimp on my salad. No one mentioned it would cost me an extra ten dollars. Ten bucks! For five shrimp! Also, the shrimp had the consistency of rubber and tire. That’s two dollars per shrimp, which is funny because I’m pretty sure I’ve seen fresher ones in the bait shop down the street. So here’s the deal: if you want to experience the thrill of being charged like you’re dining in Manhattan while actually chewing through boardwalk lettuce, come on down. Otherwise, take your money literally anywhere else, preferably a place that tells you the price before you sell a kidney.

Delightful cafe on the boardwalk. Hubs and I had breakfast there; I had the Belgian waffle, he had the grand slam.service was great; the server told us the specials and was very pleasant. Sinatra music was playing. Added bonus. If you want water, it’s bottled. Again-added bonus, considering some establishments serve tap water. Came back for lunch next day with best friend. We had cheeseburgers and onion rings. Delicious; perfectly made. Same delightful server as the day before. Can’t wait to come back next Summer!

My boyfriend and I were looking for a nice place for lunch and neither of us had ever been here so we decided to give it a try. The staff was very nice, but what really stumped us was the prices. Yes I know we’re on the boardwalk and things will be pricier, but when I decided to get the Mediterranean salad (with chicken) I was not expecting the $26 price point. On top of the fact that water is not free. My boyfriends burger cost less than my salad. And it tasted fine, but for that price it just didn’t add up. Wish we had checked the reviews first.

60 some dollars for three salads? I can go the woods and it’s free. Adding shrimp cost ten extra dollars just for five mediocre peices.The owner has the audacity to say the boardwalk isn’t cheap, when you can EASILY find a more filling, more tasty, and more cost effective establishment with just a little effort. The staff were nice, but unfortunately that doesn’t make up for the money that was burned that night.
