    Shrimp tacos without the pickled onions.

    Shrimp tacos without the pickled onions. Had the same thing last year and they are still good but more filling in them last year. The corn dip is delicious! I think it's offered as an appetizer. I highly suggest trying it.

    This place was so fun! It has the classic club music playing, loud music, people dancing, fun drinks, and the works. The food was amazing, and they gave decent sized portions. Service was quick, and the servers were nice. No complaints, highly recommend!

    We had the warm Bavarian pretzels to start with Creamy cheese dipping sauce. My sister had 1 lb of steamed mussels served with melted butter. They were bigger in size than usual and cooked perfectly. The bartender was very nice.

    My friend and I stopped in last Friday evening. We sat at the bar which was pretty empty at that time. The restaurants/bar is right on the boardwalk in an excellent location for people watching. The inside is vibrant with a wrap around bar that is half inside and half outside. There is both outdoor patio seating and covered indoor seating. Unfortunately the woman who was working at the bar last Friday seemed to be in a bad mood. She slapped menus down in front of us and immediately walked away. We ordered the "sand in my butt" which sounded like a Miami vice. It came out looking pretty with fun sea animal plastic toppers. Unfortunately both of us could not finish our drinks due to there being big chunks of ice inside. I found myself crunching on my drink and it was hard to get down. It took us awhile to flag the bartender down for our check, she seemed to be friendly & communicative with everyone else at the bar but us. She also seemed to think our IDs were fake, although we are both almost 30 and from Maryland. Overall, I think this spot is great for a quick drink. Their prices are very reasonable & the ambiance is vibrant and fun. However service is lacking & stay away from the iced drinks.

    Decent food. Great spot. Insane seafood dishes. Shrimp tacos were decent. Crab legs and seafood bake were awesome

    "Smothered" Burger and Chicken Salad Taco
    Jim R.

    Everything was OK but nothing to write home about. We had 3 burgers, 2 of which we paid an extra $3.50 (?) for a burger "smothered in our house-made crab dip." I'd like to see their definition of smothered - I barely saw or tasted anything. The Chicken Salad, which itself was good, was served in a stale Taco shell. The Grilled Cheese sandwich was large and good. So with 2 beers, a couple of sodas and an Iced Tea the bill before tip was around $87. A little steep for what we were served.

    Shrimp Tacos and Quinoa Bean salad
    Lauren W.

    Good food, quick service, and so many options for crushes! I loved my shrimp tacos but someone in my party who ordered the mahi tacos was disappointed by the small size of the fish in the tacos. Similar review on the crabby patty with not much crab on the burger. The quinoa/bean salad is a JOKE.. literally 2 tablespoons of a "side" and it's definitely been sitting there for a while. Check it out in the pic... that tiny scoop in the bottom right corner. Recommend the bucket for any of the crushes.

    Really good Frozen drink

    We decided to check out this place as my girlfriend really loves the sliders here. It was part of our anniversary trip to Ocean City Maryland. The sliders were still good but they changed how they used to be so you can only get three, now versus before you could get them in like a bucket. We came here for lunch and got the sliders, coconut shrimp for me and we got some drinks that were pretty good. Service was high energy and the atmosphere very beachy vibes as you'd expect for restaurants in the area. Things portion wise are a bit on the smaller side and they seem to charge extra for even basic add-ons. Overall four out of five I'm curious to try other offerings.

    Stopped here for lunch while out on the beach. Like a moron I didn't bring my wallet so drinking wasn't possible without ID. It is good they ID though - so we sat out on the boards and ordered. Ordered a diet soda and a water - which came out and are in 90's size large cups - much appreciated. For the meal I ordered a crabby patty which is a burger with crab dip on top of it and cheese. Ordered the burger medium - which I didn't expect much from and upgraded to fries instead of the chips for the side. It took awhile for the items to come out but overall it was fast service and the waitress checked on us regularly. The burger was good - more on the medium-well side, but I really liked the crab dip element to it and would suggest this. The fries were of the Thrashers / Boardwalk variety and were very good. They may have been old / soggy but being hungry I didn't mind. Would grade this as a 4 - though if it wasn't in a convenient spot or if I wasn't starved I could see it being a 3/3.5 Recommended some of their drinks looked really good. Will be back to try.

The restaurant was mostly empty so this was a mostly locals happy hour crowd for sure. Regular customer next to me pronounced the seasoned bartender the greatest of all time. We ordered a couple of house margaritas ($6.50) which came in a pint glass and were plenty strong. Only needed one of those! First up, crab dip. It came in a massive vessel, bubbling hot and lots of bread. This dish was so large I ate the leftovers three times. Big chunks of crab in a standard rich base. I brought rice crackers, but husband liked this plain bread better than the oily garlic toast that accompanied the mussels. Mussels were a big pile, with toast, in a mild broth. Not spectacular but a solid presentation. And finally, the boiled shrimp with old bay. Burning our fingers in our eagerness to peel and eat these babies, we got our fill for $10. Their cocktail sauce had an excellent texture, better than just ketchup and horseradish like some bars. Anyway, nice job and very economical! Bartender seemed disappointed we didn't need refills on drinks, but tomorrow is another day! Thanks for the hospitality, Coins!

Staff was all pretty polite and welcoming, and even though some had a language barrier, they still all tried to help and be of service. We ordered sodas and 2 glasses of white wine, but the wine wasn't too cold which made us have to order a glass with ice to try to improvise. For food we ordered the burrata, salmon prosecco, lamb chops rosemary and chicken parm, sides have to be ordered separate so we ordered penne pasta and truffle fries - the last one very good and big portion. Food overall was pretty good and well seasoned, lamb and salmon probably the best, the sauce was good, chicken was a little more bland and the pasta was pretty "simple". Our check ended up at $300 making this the most expensive check of our trip - honestly, for the price I would expect a little more. Overall good but not great, was expecting a little more. Still a pretty good spot to go to.

That way when the undercook it (as most do) it'll be the preferred medium temp. Anyway, the steak came out and WAS NOT encrusted. The potatoes that were served with it were very good but undercooked and slimy. The vegetables looked just forced and were thrown on the plate to add color not flavor.

Aside from breakfast options (such as breakfast burritos, omelettes, etc.), they have a good variety including sandwiches, salads, burgers, a good variety of appetizers, etc... - Quality. Delicious. My veggie omelette was very fluffy and soft. I'm not a fan of thin omelettes and this one did not disappoint. There were a good amount of veggies included. They put the cheese on top of the omelette, instead of inside with the fillings, but oh well.... My omelette came with 2 slices of cantaloupe and a strawberry, in addition to has browns, which was nice. I appreciate having fruit. The hash browns were not greasy, as well. My husband's burger challenge was enormous. The bun was very thick, which makes it difficult to eat. You definitely have to eat the burger challenge in pieces. There's a good amount of fillings, such as tomatoes, lettuce, and bacon. Their waffle fries are well-seasoned, which adds to the flavor. - Service. The staffer for our table was polite, attentive, and helpful, especially in answering any questions we had about the menu. He checked in on us regularly, which was helpful when we needed refills and/or anything extra. - Layout. Their outdoor seating area is a good layout. It does not appear outdoor tables can accommodate more than a group of 4, so be prepared depending on your group. - Price. Pretty good value for money, especially given the portions. What's not - Menu. Because I'm a huge breakfast fan, I would appreciate breakfast being available all day. That I had to pay extra for cheese in my omelette was surprising and disappointing, but it appears to be something that is becoming more common in restaurants. - Layout. There are umbrellas covering the outdoor seating, which is helpful. Towards the end of our meal, it started raining, so the large umbrella covering was helpful. However, part of the umbrella started coming apart. Rain also drips down on to your back, so just something to be aware of. Final answer Worth returning.
