When we walked in there was a long line, so we thought that was probably a sign of a good joint. Our drinks were delicious - I got a frozen chai (chefs kiss). And they also had gluten free options for me - always a score. Whenever we're back in the area we will absolutely come back here for a coffee or tea!

There's a small shop inside with housewares and kitchen items, it's cute! Outside there's a plant store. My salad was actually delish - it was a beet salad with goat cheese. Overall, I think it's a cute space but definitely not a quick spot to sit and eat with the big crowd, may be better in the off season!

I got Smoked Salmon & Toast, which was alright. It had bacon on it, even though that wasn't in the description, and the lady behind me also got surprise bacon on her order - she was upset because she is a vegetarian. The egg cloud wasn't as soft as I expected, but the everything bagel seasoning on it was good. The avocado on the toast wasn't fresh though -some kind of spread that had a weird after-taste. I ate most of his chips. He loved his messy Cheshire burger - (fried egg on it) and the biggest slice of tomato we'd ever seen. The parking was excellent.

The sausage, however, wasn't really my favorite and just didn't suit my taste. What I enjoyed most was the atmosphere. The restaurant is in a charming location near the beach, making it a relaxing place to start the day. It's beautifully decorated with a cozy, welcoming diner feel that adds to the experience. If I ever have the opportunity to visit again, I'd love to stay at the bed and breakfast. It looked incredibly charming, cozy, and like the perfect place for a peaceful getaway. Even though not everything on my plate was a hit, the warm atmosphere and lovely setting made it a place I'd happily return to.

After a very satisfying lunch here, we returned for dinner…read more Warning! Make a reservation... especially if you want to come on a Friday or Saturday night, but really, just make one no matter the occasion or time. They get really busy here and for good reason. On an island without many good food options, this place stands out. Nice atmosphere, plenty of options on the lunch or dinner menus, good portions, quality food and nice cocktails too. At this point, we've tried lunch, dinner, bringing the dog, no dog, burgers, tacos, their classic wings, shrimp with crab imperial, crab cakes and several cocktails and mocktails. Service was excellent during both of our visits and I really felt like they cared. The waitress, the one who brought our cocktails, the one who brought our food... everyone just gave off that vibe and had a passion for making customers happy. I particularly liked the "New Fashioned" cocktail, which was like an Old Fashioned with some Grand Marnier. Really tasty. My shrimp crown imperial was okay, but those shrimp on top of the tasty crab really needed some more char. They're supposed to be grilled shrimp, but tasted more like steamed. Overall though, awesome place to eat in a town that has few good options. After two visits and trying this much of the menu, Longboard has definitely earned a spot in our Ocean City rotation.

I started with two soups - jerk chicken and rice soup and the cream of crab. The chicken was good and had long rice with plenty of spices but the soup came out very lukewarm. Granted I don't need it piping but it was somewhat concerning. Also - the chicken was a tenderloin rather than shredded or chopped which was kind of hard to negotiate with a spoon. The cream of crab continues to cement its place as the top 2 cream of crab soups in and around OC. I went with the longboard burger as my meal - served with pasta salad. Really like the pasta salad as a side being different. The burger was pretty skimpy on the special sauce that came with it, but I asked for a side of bleu cheese which was good. The bartender who served us was a younger guy with a beard and longer hair - very friendly and attentive to everyone. Again - nice chill vibe here - cool little built-in market area and a cool design.

We saw some good ratings and gave this place a shot and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff who helped us make the right selection. As my wife was fasting, she went with a small fruit bowl, my son chose shortstack pancakes, and I tried the veggie hash. The fruit bowl was decorated well and had plenty of variety. From blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, watermelons, apples, bananas, and others, all the fruits were fresh and perfectly ripe. The pancakes were very large and just one would have been more than enough for two people it seems but they even added berries for my son on them. The veggie hash had lots of potential. It was cooked well, however, lacked seasoning. It seemed slightly bland and I had to utilize ketchup to give it some identity. However, the quality and variety of veggies inside was great. Overall, I am giving four stars due to the fact that the prices are high, but the service and quality are worth it; especially for such a close location to the boardwalk.
