We've been coming here for years, and it's always one of our favorite spots whenever we visit Fenwick Island. The staff is consistently friendly, and you really can't beat the location right by the water. It's so relaxing to sit outside and watch the boats come and go. They also often have live music in the afternoons and evenings, which we always enjoy. The hot muffins are amazing -- especially the coconut and blueberry -- and the apple turnovers are delicious too. The crab imperial is usually my go-to dish, but on our last visit I tried Hannah's Filet Chesapeake. The steak was perfectly cooked and topped with a generous portion of crab imperial. It's also a very family-friendly place. On our last visit, they had a large box filled with small toys for kids to pick from, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our waitress told us about it, and it made the experience even more fun for the kids we had with us read more

Love Harpoon Hanna's! The food isn't the best but the atmosphere is great and the servers are fun and friendly. If it's in season expect to wait. We love to go in the afternoon. I love their spinach salad with salmon added. My husband loves their wings! The steamed shrimp are good too. The drinks are weak but the water view is beautiful and it's just a fun place to go. A Delmarva must. read more

If I am in Ocean City it is a guarantee I will be making a stop at Harpoon Hanna's. My husband and I love this spot right on the water and we always hit it at a time that isn't too crowded. We sit at the outside bar and have always received great service. I have have various things off their menu to include the chicken salad sandwich, coconut shrimp. I usually drink a Surfside while my husband gets a crush or a beer. We love our visits and can't wait to see you guys in about a month! read more

The Pretzel with Crab dip was sooo good! And the Bacon Jam smash burger was fantastic. Our server was a really nice guy and personable. We were sat looking at the river. It was crowded but wasn't noisy. It was my first time ever in Delaware. read more

We stopped by Harpoon Hanna's for drinks, appetizers, and live music. The wait during the summer months and weekends are as long as it has been for years so no surpise there. The parking lot is massive, caution driving about as families and groups walk about. We went during White Marlin Open and of course, sightings of MJ and his crew on Catch 23 was elusive. Next time ;-) Our server Ms. Jamie was a riot! She balanced all her tables like none other. Hungry and thirsty crowds piled in and out yet she met us with a smile and humor until we left! She took great care of us and made sure everything was to our liking. Drinks stayed flowing and appetizers were filling. We tried the coconut shrimp, crabby fries, ahi tuna, and oh the basket of muffins. Definitely stop by and weather permitting, go outside and enjoy the live band! read more

Really tough to grade this place as there were so many ups and downs, positives and then not so positive -- all good item related. Service was good, our waitress, Emma maybe? was very nice and helpful. With how much ice they put in the glasses of diet soda, she was running gassers to provide refills. We started out with the cheesesteak egg rolls and crab dip, and I a cream of crab soup. The table also gets a basket of assorted breads and muffins. Eggs rolls: A - great flavor, large, full of food and served with a ranch dipping sauce. Easily one of the best single items you can get on the island. Didn't strike me as a frozen item. Crab Dip: C - to me this was a let down. Raw baguette slices along side with the crab dip which was very bland to me. Wish there was a heavy amount of salt and old bay stirred into the dip. Bread Basket: A- - the coconut muffins were very very good. Raisin bread was dry, but the frosting was still good. For an entree, I went with the filet steak which came with a side. I ordered the mac and cheese. Steak was overcooked, but good. The Mac and cheese was like buffet style, been out for awhile mush, not good. Overall - get apps and a burger. And get extra coconut muffins. read more

Love this spot! We sat outside on the deck by the water for happy hour and had orange crushes and appetizers! We really enjoyed the steamed shrimp and the coconut shrimp!

The food was very middle of the road and the prices were high. I will not return. The service was very good.

We had table of 11 the service was really good. The ambiance was fantastic over looking harbor. Now the food was best average that's being kind. I had the crab cake (1) it was over price for small cake. Someone had crab cake sandwich which was bigger than my crab cake paid less. Future order sandwich without the bun getting it cheaper and bigger. The roasted oysters were not that great. Really not a lot of flavor. I gave it 3 stars most that goes to Staff and ambience. read more

Harpoon Hannas is a stop we always make down the beach, often more than one time. I will say, not so much for the food but absolutely for the atmosphere and service. Personally, if you're a regular at the beach, I think the tiki side is the way to go. You're going to be paying beach prices with a limited menu, you may as well enjoy the view and sit by the water. Also, as the night goes on you'll want to stick around to run into familiar faces or just enjoy the music or ambiance. The restaurant side. My first experience here was on the outdoor dining portion of the restaurant, which honestly is the best option for this side. You can enjoy your breadbasket/muffins while watching pontoon boats pull up, boaters go by, or if you're lucky some dolphins. You're kidding yourself if you think very many of the places down here are actually sourcing locally caught seafood. So let's just lower expectations now. I've ordered swordfish here and really enjoyed the portion along with the sides and as I said, the ambiance is why we're here. Contrarily I've dined inside for the pure fact that I just wanted to enjoy company and some AC. I tried the shrimp Cobb this year and I'll say this, four shrimp and half a head of lettuce for the price may as well be highway robbery. lol. But splitting it with my bf, along with a plate of chicken tenders, made the lack of substance that much more bearable. Moreover I emphasize, I'm here for the memories. And frankly, Harpoon Hannas food is FRESH and better than plenty of places I've had the dissatisfaction of spending my hard earned money on here down the beach. That being said please don't let my review discourage you from coming however let it be the warning to curb your expectations and remember where you are. So, just sit back and enjoy. It'll be a helluva lot more enjoyable if you check your privilege and just enjoy a few adult beverages to calm those Karen nerves. read more

5 Stars - A Birthday Dinner Worth Repeating! We were vacationing in Fenwick Island celebrating my son's birthday, and with a party of six and high expectations, Harpoon Hanna's came highly recommended--and it absolutely delivered. This is one of those spots where the locals know what's up, and it shows from the minute you walk in. The vibe? Relaxed, coastal, and buzzing with happy diners. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and even though it was busy, we were seated and served quickly. The drinks came out fast and well-made, and our server was a total gem--friendly, attentive, and full of personality. When I mentioned it was my son's birthday, she didn't hesitate--cheesecake, candle, the whole crew singing--on the house. That kind of thoughtfulness goes a long way. As for the food: * My wife had the ahi tuna, and it was perfectly seared and beautifully plated. * I went classic with the fish and chips--crispy, flaky grouper with fries that hit the spot. * My son tackled the seafood feast--a broiled lineup of grouper, scallops, shrimp, and a crab cake. No filler, just fresh seafood cooked right. But let me tell you about the muffins. Yes, the muffins. These things are the sleeper hit of the meal--coconut, blueberry, and this glazed raisin bread that we shamelessly took home for breakfast. Harpoon Hanna's is the only place I know where the bread basket fights the entrée for top billing. All said and done, six meals, four drinks, outstanding service, and a memorable birthday celebration--all under $300 with tip. In this day and age? That's almost a miracle by the water. We'll definitely be back. Harpoon Hanna's isn't just a tourist stop--it's a tradition in the making. read more

Dined here for the first time tonight. We waited 45 minutes to be seated--understandable, as the place was bustling. The staff? Warm, welcoming, and attentive. But the food? A mixed bag, at best. We ordered two New York steaks--same cut, same order, yet wildly different in taste. One was flavorful; the other fell flat. The crab legs? Solid. No complaints there. But the prime rib? Overcooked, dry, and disappointing. Frankly, most of what hit the table seemed a bit too long in the fire. However, when we mentioned the issue with the steak, they were gracious enough to remove it from the bill and give credit for it. That was appreciated. For the price point, though, we expected more consistency and a bit more finesse in the kitchen. Kind service can only go so far when the food doesn't quite hit the mark. read more

Came to Harpoon Hanna's on a Saturday around 5:30 and it was busyyyy. We managed to snag a table at the bar, which was also hopping. Still, the service and food was great! Our server (I sadly forget his name but I want to say Dennis?? From Bulgaria?) was awesome - super friendly, efficient and nice despite having 3-4 tables sitting down all at the same time. I was impressed by the food - steak and crab imperial and the drinks were great too. I've been to HH before and will def be back read more

Harpoon Hannah's is a Fenwick staple. Perfect for after a beach day and just get some clean eats. I'd say it's a bit over priced for the quality of what you get, but it is good. The firecracker and spicy tuna on rice was fantastic. Kids meals are good for kids. The plain fish is lack luster. My overall assessment is you will be pleased if you order right. Ambiance and beach vibes are unbeatable. read more

Today's food was overpriced and mediocre at best. My wife had the broiled stuffed rock fish. 1st the fish was overcooked, which means dry. The crab imperial, was full of broken crab lumps, the sauce was so over powered by Old Bay. I'm from Maryland, Old Bay is in my blood. It was just 'meh'. I had the Filet Chesapeake. The filet was cooked properly for med. rare, but there was no char on it. It was bland, and of course the above reviewed crab imperial. It was my fault that I didn't ask the market price for each meal. Oh my brother had the bourbon salmon, same outcome, dry. Overall, service was good, the place wasn't too busy for easter Sunday. But the bill came to $170. $170 for well prepared food is ok. But this stuff, it just robbery. I should have known better, Harpoon Hannah's is ok for day drinking and apps. That's all. read more

We went to Harpoon Hanna's on a Thursday night and had an exceptionally good dinner. My daughter ordered the spicy ahi tuna and loved the crispy rice it was served on. My wife had the coconut shrimp, which were perfectly prepared--crispy, flavorful, and not at all greasy. I chose the seafood platter, which came with a crabcake, a piece of broiled fish, four fried shrimp, and four broiled shrimp. Everything was fresh and cooked just right. Our waitress was attentive, and the staff kept the dining room moving efficiently by clearing tables quickly. We thought we might have a wait, but since we arrived after 8 PM, we were seated right away. The food was delicious across the board, and the bread basket was a standout--some of the best cornbread I've ever had. On top of that, the prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions. All in all, this was the best meal of our trip to the area this year. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

The service was excellent and so was the food. Spicy tuna on crispy rice is a delightful fusion dish that perfectly balances textures and flavors. The crispy rice base provides a satisfying crunch, while the spicy tuna topping adds a burst of savory goodness with a hint of heat. Together, they create a harmonious blend of crispy, creamy, and spicy that is simply irresistible. The ambiance was nice and beachy. read more

Nice Happy Hour! Great food & drinks. Service was good. Best variety of crushes!! Had the Blueberry Lemon Crush & I could have drank 3 or 4!! Had the wings, ahi tuna & tempura cauliflower & chicken tenders. The wings were tasty but not hot just warm. Chicken tenders were just ok definitely not hand breaded. The cauliflower was outstanding!! The tuna was fresh but the choice of the orange dipping sauce was not a good match to me, too sweet. Overall would recommend this spot & would go back. Next time I'd ask for the wings to be hotter(cooking temperature). We ended up taking the wings back to the hotel. read more

Not bad. A lazy Wednesday afternoon with the wife so no crowd. Good relaxing seats inside to watch the boats in the canal. Got a couple of their "specialty cocktails" which were OK. Probably not the "A squad" behind the bar during the day on a weekday, but almost worth the price. Service was average. Good took a while considering it wasn't crowded. Wings were average. Asked for extra crispy and that's what we got. So far so good. I got the shrimp salad sandwich and what a surprise. It was soooooo good. Fries were an up charge but were crispy and salted well. Wife got the crab cake with Cole slaw and was good for the standards of OCMD in season. Could see this place getting packed. Would go again outside of busy days / times. read more

#CynBites #ThisFeedsMySoulStatusConferred Bread Basket A variety of bread. Raisin bread with a powdered sugar glaze. Coconut muffins and another muffin. All were soft, delicious and flavorful. Crab Imperial Plenty of jumbo lump that was cooked perfectly. A few pieces of peppers tossed in for flare, a little egg to just keep it together. As an Old Bay Girl, this was properly done. Fresh, delicious, flavorful and filling of crab! The meal comes with a choice, I selected the spinach salad and loaded baked potato. That salad was huge! I appreciated that there was enough topping to have some of each in every bite. The salad dressing was also very good. The baked potato was baked perfectly with a crispy skin and soft inside. Good amount of cheese on top too. I was blown away with how delicious the food was. Service was good as well. Location Right off the water, giving great views and I am sure a packed house all year round. I'm here in the off season and it was jumping on a Friday night. Live band started rocking the house at 8p. Great playlist of rock and roll. I appreciated that the volume of the band was enough to be heard in the dining area from the bar area, and not so loud that it made having a conversation a challenge while dining. Plenty of parking. Great place that is full of locals, which is always a great sign of a good place to eat. I highly recommend, so check it out and tell me of it fed your soul too. read more

We were visiting from out of the area and recommended this place for dinner on New Year's Eve. The parking lot is large and easy to get in and out of from the road. We were giving a 40 minute wait time but got seated in about 20 minutes. We were seated on the back narrow side close to the porch seating and bar area. The server brought a huge bread basket to the table with a few different types of bread and muffins in it. (I have a coconut allergy and couldn't try them, but they looked delicious and the table ate them up) I ordered the bacon wrapped scallops. It came with a sauce on it that I didn't care for, and the bacon was too chewy for my liking, so I traded meals with someone else at my table. So I then ended up with the orange fried shrimp dumplings, and those were really really good!!! We also ordered some steamed shrimp which were hard to peel and could have used a little more seasoning. My son got the apple sauce and refused to eat any of it. It looked to be the chunky type of applesauce instead of smooth, so that's probably why. We also had a chocolate mousse cake for dessert which was a must!! We even took one to go. What we didn't like is that the employees started to clean the floor and remove the tables and chairs all around us while we were still finishing our meal. I understand they were getting ready to expand their space from the bar area for new years, but feel we should have been seated in a different section, especially since we had kids with us, if that's what their plan was. Overall, the food was good, and if we're back in the area we will probably go back again (just not on a holiday) read more

Had some good drinks and appetizers here! The spot itself is outstanding, outdoors on the dock by the water, just perfect. For appetizers, we ordered coconut shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, crab dip, and cauliflower bites. All the food was excellent and we enjoyed thoroughly. Drinks were good, but not outstanding. One of the drinks we ordered was sent over wrong 2 times. Not sure if it's the waiter or the bartender. there needs to be a little bit more attention to detail with the drinks. Food is better than beverages. read more

We went with a large group of twelve people at peak time of 6pm on a Friday night. When we arrived we expected the 45 minute wait because of our group size and after 10 minutes, our group was called. (Yay!!) our waitress was attentive and chatty. We had plenty of refills and our fill of the raisin bread and muffins. Our group ordered several mix drinks and appetizers to start. Everything arrived quickly and prepared perfectly. The atmosphere was great with live band. Bathroom was clean. Our main course arrived and we were all happy with our meals. For a group of twelve, that's an impressive feat. Overall the restaurant was great experience for our large group. The food was perfect. read more

About a 40 minute wait for a party of 14 on a Sunday evening. The food was good - we had the crab pretzel, crabcake, broiled shrimp, steaks and hamburgers.

We were told that the restaurant gets crowded, so we came early and had no problem being seated inside. We started with the coconut shrimp that were very good, I am not a seafood lover,so I ordered the chicken carbonara which was also very good. My husband had a seafood combo platter which he liked. We both enjoyed one of their signature cocktails, they were both refreshing , I loved the vanilla crunch cake. Our waiter was very attentive and the place has a friendly vibe, which I really enjoyed.

Recently I had the pleasure of eating twice at Harpoon Hanna's for those who don't want to read a long review I'm just going to say excellent atmosphere excellent service excellent bartender drinks food Etc a place you don't want to miss For those who want a bigger story here goes Our first night we ate outside on the water at the Tiki Bar sun was going down live music good singer great atmosphere I had the fish tacos and my wife had the jerk chicken excellent. As far as the service it was a little slow but considering the size of the crowd there it was understandable our server was pleasant and accommodating. The next night we were looking for a place to eat and after reviewing a couple places online and actually walking into them we were more comfortable going to some place that has already given us excellent service and food so we went back and we sat at the bar. I must say that was an excellent decision on our part Again the food was excellent service was even better we had three bartenders all were interacting with this great conversation we also had the benefit of the coconut pineapple muffins blueberry muffins. I was the designated driver but my wife enjoyed a couple of drinks and she said they were also fabulous the watermelon Crush and the creamsicle Crush. Special shout out to Josie Bree Crystal and Maddie the most excellent bartenders they made our stay at the bar exceptional thank you to all read more
