    Side Maryland Crab Cake
    Kristin T.

    Lovely beach ambiance at the fine dining establishment. The panoramic views of Assawoman Bay are remarkable. Had the chef's special Pan Seared Divers Scallops to start, they were fresh & buttery and complimented the chutney garnish. For dinner I had the Fager's Style Catch of the day, (rockfish) over the Noilly Prat Sauce. The sauce was AMAZING! The Creamy texture, vibrant herby taste complimented the fish perfectly. Staff is very nice and helpful. My only downside is: They don't do anything for birthdays... a scoop of ice cream would've been nice. But the food was quite delightful

    What a great stop. Had Mike and Aiden as our bartenders last night . They recommended some amazing food off the menu . We had lots of laughs , and a genuinely great evening . Can't wait to go back . The whole staff was extremely friendly. Great sunset views as well .

    We made reservations for a business dinner. We were sat immediately, and had a beautiful view of the bay. The food was delicious. Rockfish, Prime rib, cream of crab soup. All exceptional. Our waiter was very nice. We will definitely be back,

    Made reservations for 6 at 6 pm. They have 2 different venues and menus, and it seemed like it was (according to our server) inconvenient to pick from both menus, but 2 of us did just that. Little did we know, it delayed our food. We waited over an hour until we got everything. My husband ordered the Prime rib with a baked potato and carrots and asparagus, all of which were barely warm. I had the fresh catch of the day, it was Rock fish with a cream sauce, tomatoes ( sun dried), capers, olives on a bed of spinach. it was not hot at all, although it was very tasty. I did not taste or see olives or capers. It would have been nice to have a side of starch like rice pilaf. I know they have been around forever and I am sure they are always busy but, we will not be returning. I can't speak for my friends, we just enjoyed our company, and try not to be negative. The guys let me know there was nothing to dry their hands in the men's room. The ladies room was pretty clean so no complaints there. I feel our meal was expensive even though we both ordered the 1/2 off specials. I realized everything is so much more expensive....it is just a shame our experience was not what we anticipated. I did let the server downstairs regarding the men's room. Our one friend has a prosthetic leg and we asked for a table downstairs but they seemed to not be able to want to accommodate us so we took the stairs any way. Nowadays ya hate to complain because the world is so crazy, ya hate to offend, but sometimes you just have to. I'm sure Fager's Island won't miss us, I just thought I should tell my story, for the record. There, I'm done.

    Enjoying the view (and drinks!) in the Fine Dining area.

    While visiting Ocean City for a wedding, my friend made a reservation for the Fine Dining area at Fager's Island as she had been here several times and wanted me to experience this place. We sat in the dining room off to the side with a view of the bay and the late afternoon sun. Our server was Robert, and he was attentive and professional. We started off with some great drinks, including Fager's Old Fashioned, the Garden Party and the All Cracked Up. All cocktails were fantastic! My friend's daughter ordered the Cream of Crab soup, and she shared some of it with me. It was heavenly; the broth was thick and had plenty of crab. For dinner, my friends had the Steak and Cake (6 oz beef tenderloin with a jumbo lump crab cake, roasted potatoes, asparagus and carrots) and the 8oz Filet of Beef Tenderloin with caramelized onions, mashed potatoes, asparagus and carrots). They both raved about the flavor and cooked temperature of their tenderloins. I decided to go with the Maryland Style Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes because I cannot seem to find better crab cakes than when I visit the Maryland area. These crab cakes did not disappoint! They were stuffed full of fresh crab and light on the breading, which is usually the opposite at other restaurant locations I've found while traveling. The cakes came with roasted rosemary potatoes, asparagus and carrots. It was a fine meal indeed! After dinner, we walked around the outside patio dining area and the pier area. It was a beautiful evening and the breeze off the bay was very nice. We enjoyed another cocktail as we watched the sunset. Afterward, we went to the dance bar area and were entertained by an excellent live band. This bar area was really hopping that night and we stayed for two sets as we were having a blast! They are several bar spots throughout Fager's Island, so it is always easy to purchase a drink here. It was an all-around Five Star experience!!

    Check out this dish - bay scallops, lobster risotto, and arugula...mmmm

    I came in on a Wednesday night before season starts and was sat right away and had my choice of inside, outside, or the porch - I chose the porch because it's still a little chilly!! Gavin was a super attentive server, greeted me as soon as I was sat and made sure that I had everything I needed. And my food was delectable - I ordered the scallops with lobster risotto and it was divine! The scallops were perfectly cooked, big chunks of lobster in the risotto, and the arugula was the perfect amount and flavor - I love that peppery kick that it has - overall a delicious meal! And I ordered a dirty martini that came just the way I like it..with a sidecar full of extra martini that didn't fit in the glass!!

    We arrived at the bar and grabbed a corner seat by the deck, whcih overlooks the bay. Me and My wife ordered a Painkiller. Flavorful, fresh, but low on the alcohol department. While sitting we ordered the Fried Clamari. They claim it's fresh cut. It tasted like any other fried clamari and was good. Nothing spectacular. While sitting, chatting, and reading some literature we picked up from the O.C. RV Show, we were quite litterally inundated with fruit flys. I know it was not their fault per se`, but it was annoying. For the next round I ordered a tall 'rail' drink which had lots of ice and not much alcohol. I wasn't looking to do shots, I guess the lighter alchol content could be due to the fact that we are not locals and it was mid afternoon on a Sunday. Sorry, I failed to get pictures of my drinks or food, but lots of parking out front plus they have plenty of overflow parking for those busy times.

    Crème brûlée
    Sara P.

    We were able to get a last minute reservation and the manager was so kind to get us a table close to the water. Our waitress was so kind as well. I also ordered the summer breeze mocktail and it was really good, I was surprised I made it last throughout the entire time I was there. Started off with the raw Rockefeller oysters that had a good amount of meat to them and the crab soup was peppered which gave it a kick and made me want more. For the entree, I ordered the scallions with lobster risotto. I think about that dish till this day and it opened my eyes to scallions. It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The catch of the day was Halibut and it was fresh and juicy and the portion size was bigger than anticipated and it was filling as well. The desserts are for more than one person so please note that as well, ugh the creme brûlée was so good as well! I will definitely be coming back and I had people ask me where I ate because they not only liked the appearance of the food from the pictures but the beautiful view as well!

    My absolute favorite place to visit when in ocean city. Their food has gotten better and when we mentioned it to our waitress she mentioned that they revamped the menu and got rid of seed oils. The food was amazing and great to share. The oysters were perfectly salty. Caesar salad was large enough to share and the chicken had a great smoked flavor. This place has a gorgeous view of the sunset. You can hear the music from outside. I recommend walking or uber since parking is limited. They have fresh popcorn by the bar too for a snack. I love fagers!!!

    As you can see from my last review in 2022 I have been here many times in the past for lunch and dinner. I returned here on a Sunday for a friend's 30th birthday party. We had two tables of 8 each. 15 people attended the party. Since this was a birthday party a limited 3-course menu was arranged by her parents. I started with and enjoyed my two pain killers for $11 each. We shared and enjoyed the fresh cut calamari with cajun remoulade sauce for $17.50. We also shared and enjoyed the classic Caesar salad, which was very crispy for $16. I also enjoyed my prime rib, which was properly cooked medium rare for $51. It included fresh shaved horseradish, baked potato and vegetables of the day, which were slivered carrots and broccolini for $51. My prime rib was one of the tastiest I have enjoyed in the past couple of years. I also enjoyed my vanilla creme brulee for $11. I ended my dinner with my draft Guinness. Our two experienced male and female servers served both of our tables very well, including my table. We all agreed we will return here again for lunch or dinner.

    Sea bass
    Julia R.

    The food there is absolutely amazing!!! I got the sea bass, and the combination of the sauce and the fish is just excellent! The sauce on top of the fish is a sweet, smokey like sauce. You would be amazed on how good it is! The fish does come fried with the bones in it and everything, even the eyeballs are in it too! The fish is nicely layed out on a platter. Our waiter was super helpful! I wish I knew his name so that I could put him on this review, but unfortunately I do not. I went with someone allergic to fish, so the waiter had to make sure everything was not near the fish, and he did that excellently! We sat outside with a view of the bay, and it was super pretty! They have a live band, too, and they were amazing! They sometimes confuse me because I think the real artist is singing the song! Overall, 5 Stars

    Maryland Crab Cake Sandwich and Island House Garden Salad

    I have loved fager's for some time now! Ive been to the restaurant for take-out, fine-dining, and regular outdoor dining. I have yet to stay in the hotel. On this visit, we sat in the covered patio area, as it was a little chilly out. We took a long from coastal highway down a long dark road, it could be a little better lit coming from the back way. So I don't recommend that route if you can help it. The restaurant was bustling, but our service was efficient. The crab cake entree is still good but now that it is more expensive, it seems less worth the price for what you get. The live music was a nice touch. So you can eat and then go dance it off. This does create a louder environment, so choose where to sit based on your mood. I'd definitely return to sit out on the water.

    Had dinner with my family, our waitress was Carly, she was very nice and accomdating. The restaurant was busy this evening and running alittle behind. We were warned before we were seated. We sat in the indoor/outside dining area with the view of the water. We ordered our drinks and food all at once. Started with rolls and cream of crab soup. It was the best I've ever had , it was warm but not hot. Then our entrees came out and I ordered the crab cake platter, the crab cakes were delicious and hardly any filler. My dad ordered the Salmon and spinach and my brother the steak , mash, veggies. It was an hour before our meals came out but everything was delicious once it finally did. Looks like there was a nightclub on the other side of the restaurant, a band was playing and people were partying ! It was a good time and I'll be back on my next visit to OC!

    Do they allow under 21 in the evening?

    Only until they are done serving dinner. My cousins went for a very late dinner last summer and were turned down because they had a 10 year old with them. At night it's only 21+

SO, we decided we had the time, we were hungry & nearby, so we made our way to what is now called Whiskers Saloon. We were greeted warmly by Jay who was manning both the bar and customers at tables. We took some time to peruse the 2 page menu looking for both old favorites and what's new. I decided to try one of my usual sandwiches, The Rachel for comparison sake & added Sweet potato fries (additional upgrade). I asked & was happy the special spicy sauce I loved to combine with the fries was still available under a different name, Texas sauce. I will say, my sandwich was much better than in "the old days" because this was made with actual carved turkey thick slices as opposed to thin cold cut turkey from prior ownership. I was a happy camper! My hubby tried something new to him at Whiskers, he had a chicken cheesesteak sub and was pleasantly surprised and impressed to find it was not finely chopped up chicken, but cut up grilled chicken chunks with nicely sautéed onions. We were happy to return, pleased to find that good quality & taste was still there and its what we were used to after almost 15 years of frequenting here. We were happy to see Commanders game & flag displayed for this Sunday game with many fans inside boisterously enjoying the game playingon all the tvs. All day specials were going on today and Jay told us everything they were offering on the specially priced menu which was a nice extensive list of bar food and drinks, including $3 Yeungling.

At least three couples at the bar out of five gave us side-eyed views, then whispered like the kids in second grade do. Whatever. We sat at the bar and the bartender, who looked to had been there since the place opened, took about 10 minutes to get to us. She wasn't busy and nobody was ordering anything, she was just at the other end of the bar... pondering life? Anyway, we eventually got our beers and sat down at a wobbly, sticky table by the door. The place is quiet as a cemetery and there really isn't much to look at. There is a diner set up on the other side of the room which was completely empty, thus contributing to the overall ambiance. A few minutes later another couple walked in and sat down at the bar. They asked the bartender a question I didn't hear and she replied "I don't know nothing about nothing." Then she walked away. A group of four walked in, each of them having some severe medical ailment, and slowly scanned the place with squinted eyes. One of them said through a few layers of phlegm "They got sandwiches over here," and they all proceeded to maneuver their walkers in the direction of the diner side. We left about 30 seconds afterwards. I give it 2 stars for the entertainment value it has but that's all you'll find worth checking out.
