Notice on door, closed for season. Reopens May 2026 Looking for smith island cakes and they have a deli in the back which has delicious choices. read more

I went to Rick's Market to buy alcohol and handed over my valid Pennsylvania ID. I turned 21 in December 2025, so there was nothing questionable about my age or identification. Instead of handling it professionally, multiple employees looked over my ID like I was doing something wrong while a line formed behind me. To make it worse, a manager got involved, gave me the nastiest look, and wouldn't even say a single word to me. If there was a concern, they could have communicated like professionals instead of treating me like a criminal. The whole experience was embarrassing, disrespectful, and completely unnecessary. I won't be coming back. read more

I like the store because it offers a deli and beer and groceries but I bought the macaroni salad for dinner side and it was the worst macaroni salad I've ever had. So don't waste your money on it. It taste like, well nothing. read more

Caution: their deli sides,... Cole slaw, macaroni salad and potato salad are barely edible. Go to Acme instead!!!! We threw all the sides we bought in the trash after tasting them! Sorry to be so blunt - just want to save other shoppers from wasting their hard earned money. read more

Great little grocery store here in Ocean City. Stopped a few times this week to pickup beer and snacks. I also needed nail clippers and they had them. Pricing is more reasonable than a lot of quick stop places. read more

I love their steaks and homemade chicken salad...great beer and seltzer selection. They don't update their FB page enough and there is no menu for the deli on there or on the website. How do you know what to order if there is no menu or what the prices are? read more

Great market for daily needs. Great deli, clean store, great prices and selection. Lots of variety of different food. Acceptable prices

First time at Rick's. Walked in the door face to face with racks of bananas. Love it! We didn't need much. (I brought a small storage container of must have non perishable items with us on vacation. Very money saving). But I grabbed bananas and zucchini, stuff like that. It looked fresh to me. No holes or browning. They have a deli in the back for sandwiches to go and a meat and cheese slicer for product per LB. It was a bit crowded but... we're on the strip at OCMD. What do you expect. I appreciated the choice of grocery store as opposed to thinking I have to shop at the Food Lion here. Rick's has great packaged food options, fresh produce and a working deli. Come here and check it out. read more

Produce sold by pound, but no scale to weigh it. $4.99 per pound for bell peppers. Very overpriced.

A small shop with a lot to offer. All produce and meats always fresh, great deli, and you can even grab a bottle of wine while you're at it! So happy they are open for the season! read more

Cleanest market I've ever seen by a shore, certainly better than Wildwood, NJ's stores, and even provided fresh coffee and pastries. I didn't need to shop for groceries, but I could tell it was a place I'd go to. Coffee was by Green Mountain, was nice and hot, and they had a nice setup with the cream, milk and sugars (they even had sugar in the raw! score!). The cinnamon roll I got was recommended by the guy I let go in front of me at the bakery counter because I couldn't decide which pastry to get. I was not disappointed! My morning was made thanks to this place and just a short walk to the beach made it complete. Thanks Rick's! read more

Rick's Market - Fresh cinnamon roll, recommended by another patron, was not a disappointment from Rick's 64th St. Market in Ocean City, MD - Grocery Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Update: this market is open!! It is super easy to get to from our place and we have never had a bad experience. Don't get me wrong, it's not some upscale market or grocery store, but it is more than fine in my book when you're at the beach! They have a nice selection of produce and alcohol. My two favorite things at the beach :) read more

I popped in Rick's market for a Labor Day cheesesteak and it was absolutely top tier. You would've thought this bad boy was made in Philly. The only thing better than the cheesesteak was Shelby and Melissa's customer service. If you want a small town grocery vibe and a bangin cheesesteak I highly recommend visiting Ricks market. read more

This place is a little gem. They have a lot of great produce and the store is well organized and super clean. Staff was super nice, too. Recommend read more

Got fresh fruit there yesterday and it was so so ripe! I purchased watermelons and pineapple and it was great!

I am basing this whole review off of 3 aspects. First, I bought a sub from their deli, an Italian cold cut, that was one of the best subs I have ever eaten in my life. It was a religious experience. If their others subs are anywhere as good then I was this place was within driving distance for me. Second, they carry Arizona Arnold Palmer Zero. If you are an Arizona fan than you will know that this is a difficult Arizona product to find. It tastes the same as the regular one except without the three billions calories of sugar and carbs. Third, I sat outside and met some really attractive Romanian girls. The prices were a little more expensive for their regular grocery items, but it is the beach and I would expect them to price things a bit higher for tourists. read more

This is mostly a market for people who don't want to cook -- lots of snacks, drinks, ready-made food, boxed dinners, etc. The ratio of produce to beer is about 1:4. And watch the expiration date if you do buy produce -- we got a bag of salad mix that was 2 weeks out of date (we should have checked more carefully). They have a very limited selection of produce in general. I like to shop local and give the little guys a chance to compete with big chains. I also expect to pay a little more at a store that can't get bulk buying discounts. The prices at Ricks were still higher than i expected tho. The deli only had 2 kinds of sliced cheese American and provolone - no cheddar even. This is a good place to buy booze and snacks. But if you're shopping for a family and plan to cook some meals, you'll have to go to another grocery store for provisions. The staff was friendly and efficient, hence the two stars. But it's not a place I can do my regular shopping. read more

Disgusting place with moldy food on shelf and plenty of out of date products. Went there tonight and absolutely no social distancing and no one was wearing masks. And the rude lady behind the counter told me the guy before me was the last customer in-line.......but she couldn't of told me that when she was talking the guy with no fuckin mask on for 10 min right ? read more

Great little market for all the necessities for a week at the beach. Produce could be more fresh.

What a great little market! has everything! including freshly prepared foods, fresh blue crab meat, salads, etc. Can't wait to go back and get more blue crab meat! read more

I see the issues everyone has. I stop there for wine, ice, and water. The wine I saw had a great price on it. I wanted to try it... it is double the cost where I live.. I will pick up more before I leave.. WHat a deal!!! I like the convenience of the market easy in easy out.. I am not cooking here... in OC... read more

Its Ocean City. To stock up with everything in a sandy location costs more than the suburbs. So expect to pay more for the convenience. We were happy finding everything we needed for several days in Ocean City. neat, clean, quick check-outs...wish we had found this before. read more

Got to love it when you see the same brown hot dogs on the shelf everyday for a week straight. Especially when you tell someone that works there that the hot dogs are bad. read more

If you are on foot and don't have a way to the superfresh a few miles down the road, go here. However, this place is a tourist trap. Absolutely gouging the customer. It is clean, it is fresh, but you'll pay... oh boy you'll pay. read more

The husband and I managed to snag a condominium for our Ocean City stay that included a full-service kitchen, so we needed a place to buy some groceries for a couple of days. We'd stopped to eat on the way into town, so we decided that we'd pop in next door to Rick's Market and purchase some food. We weren't in here for more than five minutes before we were thinking, "Oh, HELL no." The prices are absolutely insane. Four dollars for yogurt? Three dollars for a carton of orange juice (generic, at that)? Um, how stupid do you think we are? I know we're tourists, but give me a freaking break. There are two large grocery stores (SuperFresh and Food Lion) in close proximity to this place, so why would we choose to be wallet gouged? The only way I'd come here is if you 1. don't have a car to go elsewhere or 2. need liquor. Because God knows they had more liquor than food on their shelves. Thanks, but no thanks. I want to support the little guy, but not when the little guy feels it necessary to overcharge 200 percent for basic things like bread and milk. Not recommended. read more

Convenient and clean, this is a small market that packs in most everything that you would need. I stop in often after we get settled in at the beach, and always seem to find everything we are looking for here. The checkout people are always polite and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Rick's Market is a privately held food market on 64th Street in Ocean City, MD. It's clean, well stocked and superbly managed, offers fresh baked goodies daily (top donuts in OC), fried chicken that's simply the best we've ever had - our guests request it every year - fresh produce, beer and wine and most everything you could need. Now it's expensive so don't buy all your groceries at Rick's if saving a few bucks is your sole goal. But don't miss the amazing convenience and above culinary delights. Rick H at Meridian, 60th Street read more

Great store. I am a local and go there for the meats, deli and wine. Much better than the national chains. Staff is always helpful and friendly. My favorite market! read more

This place is great! They are more than a grocery store and have everything you need at the beach. It's clean and bright. The staff is friendly. The deli sandwiches are made to order and are amazing! read more

Came here after the vacation season was over, early September. We need some ice and a few other things for the condo we rented. Firstly, this place is expensive. But hey its a tourist town with tourist prices. That's something I guess you just have to get over. The shelves we are barren, they said it was because the tourist season was over. I heard other patrons mentioning this as well. What really got me about this place was it seemed dirty, especially in the deli/bakery/carry out area. There were small fruit flies inside the donut case. We order some lunch meat. As we waited, we watched a worker refill a pasta dish in the case. As he filled it he dropped pasta all over the case. He started to back away, like he was going to leave it there. Then made eye contact with us, and realized we were watching him. He reluctantly proceeded to clean up his mess. So in the end this place is ok if you need an emergency item or two. But I wouldn't eat their carry out food. read more

Local grocery store that I love!! I come here specifically for the fresh donuts in the bakery, rolls to make sandwiches, fresh coffee, and cold cuts. They also have the best ripe tomatoes they get from a local farmer, best tomatoes ever!!! Prices are a little higher but that's expected in a beach town with not too many grocery stores. read more

The atmosphere inside Ricks is unmatched. Never been in a grocery store like it before. I was personally greeted at the door with a very warm welcome, it felt like i was walking into my sweet granny's house as i could really feel the love. Each aisle holds an infinite amount of joy and excitement. I have since been back many times and each time is just impeccable. After the tragic loss of a loved one, Rick was there for me, and the bond between me and that heavenly store can never be broken. Thank you Rick, you truly saved my life. read more

The most expensive little grocery store.. i dont advise getting more than the necessary

Okay, so the prices are high- but your in a tourist town. I expect to pay more, but the prices here are ridiculous. Also, I find the fruit & veggies usually over ripened & the market is so-so when it comes to cleanliness. But my biggest complaint is with the pastry & donut cases. They are loaded with flies crawling all over the baked goods. Dont mention it to the staff behind the counter, they dont care. I've stopped in again a few times for milk, cereal & it's the same thing. Flies all over the donuts proclaimed to be the best in OC. Well, that makes it easy to give them up. Seriously, I've had no appetite for donuts since seeing that. Makes me wonder how everything else prepared at the market is handled. See for yourself! Yikes! read more

Probably the best fried chicken I've ever had, I look forward to it every summer and they source some of their produce locally, which is cool. Don't look to Rick's as your go-to for stocking up on groceries (hence the high price gripes in other reviews), but come here for the kick a** deli and your money will be well spent and appetites satisfied. Only wish they would stay open a little beyond the peak season. read more

Be prepared to take it, and take it good. It's a glorified convenience store with prices higher than what you would expect to pay at a convenience store. They have a little bit of everything but at a price that will surely leave you and your wallet feeling empty. read more

If you can find another market within 2 miles of this place, find it. Cheaper to buy all of your groceries at 7-11 or WaWa. Flies in the deli case, some shelves half filled, just creepy. Tourist trap, will gouge you for every penny.....will starve before I go back to this place. read more

One of the last remaining family stores in Ocean City. This grocery store always has a variety of goods and their deli meats are always fresh. The employees are friendly and courteous. Don't hesitate to shop at Rick's Market; you won't be disappointed. read more

Best Bakery in town! Never miss going to Rick's when I visit Ocean City. They have a fantastic Bakery on site, fresh baked goodies every day and also you can purchase day old items, still fresh if you ask me, at discounted prices. They have everything a regular market would have just priced slightly higher but if your in a pinch this is the place to go. I always place an order for their large vanilla iced cinnamon rolls to bring back to Philadelphia with me. Highly recommend this store. read more

Not impressed with the deli. Ordered a cold cut sub, ended up with bread, lettuce, and a slice of ham. Counter clerk was in a hurry to get out apparently. Not an eight buck sub..... read more
