    Grilled Chicken Quesadilla, Sour Cream, Salsa
    Nae L.

    First and FINAL visit to this place...one "bad apple" CAN spoil the bunch for sure. The food was actually decent; drink was pretty "watered down". Just like any other typical bar that offers food service...but had food, lacked service! Walked in, all booth seating along window side, narrow walk between those and the bar. All tables were full except 2 and those two were still littered with the last party's empties and things. Asked if we could sit at one; said they'd clear the table; grabbed about 4 of 11 items; never returned...... Asked a passing employee she started to grab the original person but did it herself instead (kudos to her, should've gotten her name). "Flip the tab to red if you need service, green if your good"...red red red until we had to ASK for menus and to have the table actually cleaned/wiped down. Drinks came in decent time after being warned they may not since the service bar's a little slower. Apps came in decent time. Food came in decent time. Requested additional side items were forgotten and asked server dropping food about them (sour cream, salsa, dressing), response was basically "ask your server". Think we did that already but thanks. When we finally figured out our server hadn't left for the day, we asked for the check and to split the bill. We were told it could only be split evenly, not per person, which was fine with us for the moment. Then every card declined on the handheld device the server was using. I let her know it HAD TO BE her machine and that was when she said "it actually may be my machine...I can do it at the bar". Probably should have started with that! I ended up using the same card to pay the full bill myself just so we could get out of there! From the time we walked in to paying the bill, took entirely too long! It took up most of the beginning of our afternoon and we didn't order anything overly complicated. Like I said...WON'T be back!

    Crab cake sandwich

    This place is exactly what you expect. It has nice seating near the water, a great sunset view. You're not coming here for delicious and innovative. It's basic, pre-prepped beachside food that is similar to what you'd get at a theme park or something. Cocktails are ultra sweet, burgers are frozen patties, buns come untoasted, sauce comes in a plastic condiment container. Crab cake was really fishy. No fries, just a bag of potato chips. Kind of disappointing given the price you pay. It was fine, it wasn't great and was around $80 for one cocktail and two sandwiches after tip. The servers were nice and service was really fast though, which was great. Also dog friendly so that was a huge plus!

    Food, drinks, and service aren't anything great, but they're able to accommodate large groups and have "beach playgrounds" for both big and little kids, which is what drew us there! Drinks were your typical beach drinks, and I had the fish tacos and chips. They were just okay and chips were too spicy to enjoy. We also ordered a kids meal to come out before our meals, and it was never brought out. The best thing about De Lazy Lizard is the ability to sit at your table while you watch your kids play on the playground. For that reason alone, we'd come back next time we're in town! It's also nice that you can make reservations online, and they could easily seat our group of 30ish, split between a few picnic tables.

    Overcooked patty, school lunch style.

    Dockside Bar Turned Tourist Trap - End of an Era Don't believe the 5-star ratings that are likely paid for by some third-party advertising agency. As OC locals, we were unpleasantly surprised during our recent visit to De Lazy Lizard. What used to be one of Ocean City's best dockside atmospheres with genuinely good food has turned into a total tourist trap after being bought out by another local restaurant chain. De Lazy Lizard used to serve a variety of good appetizers, light fare, and drinks, albeit at somewhat high prices. The seafood nachos were amazing...but they are no longer on the menu, vanished with many other favorites. Instead, they have been replaced with a new slimmed-down menu featuring typical and tired bar food designed to maximize profits, not customer satisfaction. It gets worse. You cannot change or alter ANYTHING on the menu. My son tried to order the JuJu Burger but asked to hold the mango salsa. Nope - that is an unallowable "menu item change" and required him to build a "custom burger" at a higher price...just to eliminate a topping he didn't want. I tried to order a bacon cheeseburger with fries...no again. If you want fries with an adult meal, you have to order a whole basket of them separately. Instead, my burger was supposed to come with gourmet "chips made fresh in the restaurant." However, when it showed up, the chips were bagged, and the burger patty was tiny and overcooked. It looked like a frozen ¼ pound patty that would be served at a school cafeteria. No burgers are cooked to temp, they all come like this. The rest of my family's food was equally disappointing. We also had to sit at separate tables. We were a party of 10 and were seated at two separate tables, each with its own server, as each physical table has its own assigned check that cannot be changed. Want to combine tables to suit a larger party - not happening. Want to split your check between families, not happening. It doesn't sound like a big deal except that half our party's food came out 10 minutes before the rest. They had finished eating before our meals arrived at the table. Long story short, what used to be an excellent dockside bar with great food and fun atmosphere has been bought out and turned into a typical tourist trap trying to squeeze every penny of profit from your wallet.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Tyon R.

    We usually stop by here to kill some time before heading out on the Sea Rocket boat ride. The view of the bay and the Harry W. Kelley Memorial Bridge is always a highlight. Seating is great--especially if you're lucky enough to snag a spot near the water dock. Watching all the boats go by adds to the relaxing atmosphere. The food was decent--not amazing, but definitely not bad. We tried the Crab Cake Sandwich with fries and the Chicken Sandwich with cheese and bacon. Both were satisfying. The drinks were solid, and we even kept the cups and shot glasses as souvenirs, which was a fun touch. Staff was friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. A great place to unwind and enjoy the view!

    No crab in crap soup at all or in the crab dip everything seems artificial and fake. Scenery is nice but food sucks!

    Waterfront view at De Lazy Lizard
    Jack M.

    Our server was very nice, it was hot outside but the view and seating were lovely. They had refreshing misters that were blowing mist in our food a bit as the wind picked up, but it was not too big of deal. There was a photographer lady who was trying to take pictures of every couple and trying to sell them which was a bit awkward. We got the Old Bay fries, a cheeseburger and chicken tenders and it was overall a decent meal. Seemed like a good family friendly place. They also seemed to have very cheap drinks that looked good, frozen strawberry daiquiri caught my eye, but i was driving unfortunately.

    Dirty banana with tooter
    Mel L.

    Interesting, very large, continuously growing restaurant. They have a playground but they could seat you right next to it. Too many screaming kids here. Recommend the 21+ area if you don't have a kid with you. Food is wildly overpriced. Their basic nachos are $20 and go up to $28. We ordered them and never received them. I had salmon for dinner. It was pretty good but basic. Priced fine for what I got but nothing to write home about. I had the dirty banana drink with the tooter (shot in a test tube). Felt absolutely nothing from the drink and thought it would be a bit thicker. Kind of disappointed by that one. One nice thing was that they claim to be a 100% peanut free facility which was great for me. Server was decent. Got the food in a somewhat timely manner minus the nachos that never came that left a large gap between drinks and entrees.

    Souvenir Cup
    Amanda W.

    Nice bay front location at the southern tip of Ocean City. The views are spectacular both inside and out! We came at 7 on a Friday, and the line was wrapped around the building! When I got to the hostess stand, I agreed to a table inside for 5 and was seated right away! Our waitress was kind, got our drink order in right away. My husband had a mixed drink, pineapple crush. He really enjoyed it. My kids had to order the virgin pina coladas and blue slushie, and got some nice souvenirs cups. The drinks were not free refills and the waitress asked my 11 year old directly if he wanted a refill, which was not my favorite, since the drinks are $6 each. The refill also did not come with another souvenir cup so charging the entire amount again didn't seem right. I enjoyed the caesar wrap, it had the perfect amount of dressing and the fries were tasty. My toddlers grilled cheese looked good, and came with a little plastic lizard figurine. It was $9 for a grilled cheese and a cup of motts applesauce. Kind of pricy for a 2 year old, and he didn't even get a drink. My other two children enjoyed their burgers, said they tasted good. My husband enjoyed his blackened fish tacos, it came with tortilla chips and salsa. I don't know that I would recommend this place again - Ropewalk is a similar restaurant with a playground and better food and wait staff. Good to check off the bucket list, but I wouldn't go again!!

Not much has changed with the ambiance - bar atmosphere, with each time there being a live music act when we came in to eat. As a party of 10 the last two years (a yearly trip) we were sat in front of the music. Not my favorite place as it's hard to have a conversation but the music was good. We had a younger waiter take care of us - we put in some drinks - I ordered a blackberry bourbon tea. It wasn't very sweet or flavorful. Almost like it was watered down. Meh. We put in several apps to start our meal: crab pierogis, cheesesteak egg rolls and crab dip. The crab pierogis sounded good - but the sauce on them or around them was watery. Another person in our party got the crab corn chowder- it was watery. Chowders are thicker, not thin. The cheesesteak egg rolls were good - had a nice flavor to them. The crab dip was very very flavorful - maybe one of the best on the island I have had. For my meal I ordered the Baltimore bird which is fried chicken topped with crab dip. It was a HUGE piece of chicken and looked great -- then I took a bite. The chick was raw inside. Hoping it was just a part of the breast I bit into another part - middle chicken was pink and raw. What makes matters even worse was the Heinz ketchup bottle on the table - billed as a Pittsburgh bar - did not have Heinz in it. Ketchup was way too sweet - definitely off brand. We shared desserts as a table - the brownie Ala mode and the tower brownie cheesecake. Both were.. well small. Good taste but, limited. Again - just ok overall.

Rob and Rose greeted and welcomed us. We ordered the Medium steamed Crabs, Crab Cake Sandwich, Crab Bisque, corn on the cob and Hush Puppies. Wow! What a treat so early in the season. The Bisque was excellent. It's not too spicy but they give you extra seasoning and spice to add according to your personal taste. The Crab Cake was just as advertised. No filler, fresh Crab, Eastern Shore style and delicious. The medium crabs were very good. Some establishments would be seeking them as Large. They were seasoned and steamed perfectly. Heavy and sweet. The sides; Corn on the Cob, steamed in the Husk was very good and the Hush Puppies were a perfect pairing. My apologies for lack of pictures, we ate most everything before I started taking pictures. Rob and Rose were very attentive. They told us their story and shared a scrap book of their off season home in New Mexico. They were in the process of training and orienting their summer staff while we enjoyed our meal. The attention to detail, customer first, quality service and passion for excellent food was on full display. The dining is beach rustic and perfect. There's a good amount of parking and it's easy to find them right along coastal highway. What initially seemed like a disappointment today turned into a wonderful discovery of a new favorite. On The Bay Seafood is a must try if you're at the shore this year.

We ordered the seafood combo that included six hard-shell crabs, three pounds of snow crab legs, a half-pound of shrimp, corn, and hush puppies. The hard-shell crabs were decent, although they seemed slightly oversteamed. The meat in the legs was practically fused to the shell, making them difficult to eat. The snow crab legs were good, but the shrimp were noticeably undercooked, which made peeling them nearly impossible. There were a few bright spots. The beer was reasonably priced at $4.50 a pint, and the hush puppies were excellent--arguably the best part of the entire meal. The corn, however, was tough and seemed past its prime. For the roughly $145 we spent on the combo, I expected a better overall dining experience. Sadly, this seems to be the standard at many seafood restaurants these days: higher prices without a corresponding increase in quality. And while it's a minor issue compared to the food, the deck seating chairs were surprisingly uncomfortable and felt out of place for a restaurant charging these prices. Overall, the meal wasn't terrible, but it fell well short of expectations given the cost.
