Food & Restaurants By Area
Downtown Ocean City Restaurants
If you’ve spent the morning on the beach or walking the boards, you may want to grab a quick snack at a local place without having to run back home and dress. Conversely, if you’re looking for great food with iconic views of the boardwalk and inlet, there really is no limit to downtown dining opportunities.
Midtown Ocean City Restaurants
While Downtown has the boards, midtown has the bay and some of the legendary Ocean City eateries. Setting aside the spectacular ocean and bay views, the great atmosphere and the diversity of food choices, it also is a little less congested in midtown Ocean City. That said, there still is great beach access and parking is also a tad easier.
North Ocean City Restaurants
There are not as many restaurants above the Route 90 bridge, but you do have some good options. Many of the restaurants are actually inside the larger hotels, but they are definitely worth trying whether you are staying there or not. Horizon’s, the oceanfront restaurant inside the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel has an award-winning wine list and great specials during the off-season. They also have Lenny’s with great tropical drinks poolside or served on the beach. The Princess Royale has recently renovated and added an outside bar, better outdoor dining options, and a great craft beer selection.

West-O as it’s often called, is more a region than a city, sprawling around Route 50 Bridge and up toward Assateague, it has plenty of fine destination restaurants and enough fast food to keep the kids from chattering for too long.
Selbyville Restaurants, Fenwick Island Restaurants and Bethany Beach Restaurants
Drive up through North Ocean City into Fenwick and you’re in Delaware. The Delaware beaches are fast becoming known for their boutique restaurants and fashion-forward approach to the culinary arts. It isn’t as if the area lacks burger joints, but people looking for a great meal at a reasonable price are a lot less likely to be disappointed in any of the Southern Delaware towns than they were at, say, the turn of the century.
