Ocean City’s lucky 13th Spring Restaurant Week kicks off on Sunday, April 28, featuring daily specials and prix fixe menu options at restaurants throughout the resort until May 11. Participating restaurants, ranging from casual to fine dining outlets, offer specials and a $10, $20, $30 or $40 fixed-price menu.
Restaurant Week, which takes place bi-annually in Ocean City every spring and fall, provides visitors and locals with the opportunity to try something new, be it an entree they’ve never had before or a new restaurant altogether. It also provides local restaurants and their chefs with the opportunity to showcase some of their most innovative and creative new dishes.
Ocean City MD Restaurant Week | Dining | OCHMRA
Come out for Ocean City Maryland Restaurant Week this year! Participating Restaurants offer special fixed price menu options.
Additionally, with an ever-growing array of quality dining options across the Route 50 and 90 bridges, Restaurant Week gives locals a reason to dine in Ocean City during the shoulder season when restaurants aren’t extremely busy.
Originally held in June, and then in mid-May, Spring Restaurant Week was moved to April in 2015 to get the ball rolling and start Ocean City’s dining season a little bit earlier than usual.
New restaurants participating for the first time in 2019 include Mad Fish Bar & Grill and Sanibel’s Oceanside 32. There’s also a special new contest for Restaurant Week 2019, where diners who eat at three different participating restaurants during the event and send pictures of their receipts to the Ocean City Hotel Motel Restaurant Association will be entered to win a $150 gift card to their favorite participating RW restaurant.
