Clams casino
Joya S.

Really great seafood place. Everyone gets huge complementary shrimp. They had the heads on and were cooked perfectly. Got the clams casino which came with cheese and bacon. Seafood boil came with clams, muscles, clams, potato, sausage, corn, and shrimp. All the food tasted fresh. It came with stick butter as well as melted butter. I also asked for dry seasoning on the side. I got the mango Margarita, it would have been a little sweeter and a little stronger for the size. Service was good and it was nice there are tables inside and outside.

Shrimp Sandwich

The Shrimp Boat is another one of our regular stops when staying in Berlin on vacation. It's not luxurious and there are no water views, but it's away from the hustle and bustle and crowds of Ocean City. The seafood is always good and they have a great happy hour 3-5pm (half price anything shrimp and half price drinks). We stopped in for lunch this year after spending the morning on Assateague. We had Bloody Marys and Orange Crushes. I've always enjoyed The Shrimp Boat's Bloody Mary as the mix they use is very good. In the past they'd serve their Bloody Mary with 2 head on shrimp (the same shrimp they provide complementary (1 per guest) upon arrival) along with a crab claw. I guess the crab claw is no longer included which was a little disappointing. We also weren't really fans of the big straws and crushed ice as each sip provided a mouthful of ice. The drinks, as always, were very good. We each ordered a sandwich as we had dinner plans later on. I had a burger, and for a restaurant that specializes in seafood, I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn't the best burger I've ever had but it certainly wasn't bad. My dad ordered a fried flounder sandwich and my mom had the crab cake sandwich, each of which we've ordered plenty of times before and things you can't go wrong with here. The sandwiches are served with fabulous house cut fries. One of these days I'll stop in for $1.99 crabs. I've been saying it each year I'm in the area and I still have yet to order them. Anyways, another good meal and relaxing visit with my family at The Shrimp Boat.

Shrimp and sauces

We finally stopped and tried the shrimp boat next to the camp ground we were staying at. The food was very good but priced about the same as going to a nice sit down resturant. The service was a bit slow, but to be fair I got there as soon as they opened.

Love - The Shrimp Boat!!! I always pick up fresh local fish and shrimp when I'm on vacation in Ocean City Md. Sometimes I feel like cooking a shrimp boil... other times I order from their restaurant take out menu and let them do the cooking. I really like their crab soup and steamed crabs.

Shrimp salad sandwich with Mac and cheese
Aubrey W.

Fantastic!! This place is tiny, and I don't think they take reservations but it is worth the wait. My friend and I arrived in the middle of the day on a Friday and waited approximately ten minutes for a table. Not bad! We were immediately greeted by our friendly server who brought us each a single steamed shrimp. The food was incredible! I loved my pina colada and shrimp salad sandwich. The prices were quite reasonable. There is ample parking. I would return here in a heartbeat! Highly recommend.

Crab melt with hush puppies
Minh-Nhat N.

I came here for lunch on a Friday with a party of 5 and there was no inside seating, so we were seated outside. There was a roof and electric fans that provided shade and cool air to combat the sweltering afternoon heat. Food: the shrimp were large, juicy, and very flavorful. We also ordered the crab melt and lobster roll. The crab melt was packed with fresh crab meat between two thin sandwich slices, which is also a great ratio. The crab meat tasted very fresh and did not have any fishy smell/flavor. The lobster roll was on the smaller side compared to other rolls I've had at other restaurants, however, the big chunks of lobster meat were juicy and had a good bite to them, yet not too chewy. I've never commented on the water at any other restaurant, but I must say that our whole group agreed that the water had a very metallic aftertaste. If you do sit outside, be aware of the surplus of flies under the table and on your food. I understand that it's a seafood restaurant, but it's very unpleasant to be swatting flies while trying to enjoy my food. Otherwise, service was good.

Blue Crab Boil
Deborah J.

Food was delicious and service was superior. Being from out of town I have felt a bit of an outcast but our waiter made us feel right at home. We went in at 6:30pm because we saw online the closed at 8pm. When we left at 7:30 we noticed on the door it said they closed Mondays at 7pm! I felt so bad for making them stay longer without realizing but grateful they didn't rush us out. Definitely need to go again!

Shrimp Salad Samich-wish I would have taken a pic before I took the bite but was to excited. This is AMAZING!!!
Christine C.

Always amazing food & drink at The Shrimp Boat! Look forward to eating the delicious food multiple times, every time I visit area. Well done!!

Steamed clams, mussels, dozen crabs, chefs shrimp, oysters! We had a a great time!
Sara S.

Love how they give a sampler as soon as you get seated the server was great and kind. Had a great experience and ate everything! Lol no leftovers on our plates!

Strawberry lemonade crush
Leah B.

Definitely recommend for great service and delicious food. The shrimp po boy was great! Large shrimp and soft bun. Fresh cut fries had flavor and were a solid portion. Only complaint was both the garlic smashed potatoes and crab in the fried crab was wayyyy too peppery. It seemed like they used pepper instead of old bay and it was overpowering for me. Strawberry lemonade orange crush was amazing. Pro tip: when you have a little left, get a twisted tea and dump it into the cup! They have crushed ice! Love the fact you get two free shrimp to try. Little chilly, but that's just the time of year (March).

Grouper bites and hard shell - supposedly large size crabs.

Had reservations tonight for a birthday celebration for my spouse. Our reservation was at 6:45 but…read morewe got there a little early and ended up getting seated right our reservation time if not a few minutes early which was a great start considering how busy there were! We were seated on the rooftop and had a great view from our table. Immediately we were greeted and brought water and had our drink order taken. Our waitress explained the menu and we decided on all Tapas. The street corn is something I could eat for breakfast lunch and dinner every day so 10/10. The crab dip was delicious as well but not super strong crabby taste which made it about a 7/10 for me. I'm not a huge mushroom fan but I did have one and I enjoyed it a lot! The crispy calamari was a 10/10 as well and the chipotle aioli that came with it was the perfect pairing. The Gambas Al Alijo was also delicious! Perfect amount of seasoning. We also got the flank steak which was very good but we did ask for it to be cooked medium and it came out more well done than anything but still delicious! We ended the night with a nice little birthday surprise tart, complimentary. A very cute touch! Overall we loved the place and I'll definitely be visiting again and recommending!

Excellent restaurant and wine bar with rooftop views of the bay and the amusement parks with great…read moresunsets. Outdoor seating and lively bar. Great place for a date night or a group dinner. Located on the 8th floor of the Cambria hotel. Park in the red cement marked Spain Wine Bar spaces; blue is for the hotel guests. Delicious food with fun cocktails and wines. Here is what we had over three dinners: - Cheese and Charcuterie Board with Drunken Goat cheese (mild flavor) and Jamon Serrano. It came with olives, apricot jam, and mixed nuts. We ran out of crackers and cheese quickly, so I would recommend getting two cheeses and extra bread. - Roasted Beet Salad - lots of cold beet chunks and sprinkled with Valdeon cheese (white cheese similar to feta), Great way start the visit - Short Rib Bocadillo - really loved this - it was short ribs on a lobster roll (no lobster) and the onions really made the flavors pop - Coffee Rubbed Pork Ribs - not spicy - Mmm mmm good! - Flank Steak with green chimichurri - tender and delicious. It did have tiny ribbons of fat on some of the edges. - Patatas Bravas - good size of roasted potatoes, tomato sauce with a drizzle of garlic aioli - Jamon Serrano Croquettes (ham and cheese) - Lollipop chicken - really good fried chicken legs with lots of meat at the top - Pan Seared Blackened tuna with corn avocado salad and micro cilantro. This was tasty but not a lot of tuna for the price - Pistachio gelato - light pistachio flavor - Olive OIl Cake with vanilla bean ice cream - big enough to share. We enjoyed it and it was different. You don't taste the olive oil. It was a denser golden cake. - Flourless chocolate cake covered in a white anglaise sauce and sprinkled with cocoa powder We had the red sangria which was good and came with a dendrobium orchid. We noticed the amount seemed low, about 1/3 full, in the glass but the table next to use had more like 1/2 full in the glass. I tried the Tiramisu White Russian drink for a dessert, and I really did not love it but just drank it to finish it.

There are a handful of must visit restaurants while we stay in Berlin every May for our annual…read morevacation and Sunset Grille is one of them! We arrived right around 1:30pm on a nice (but breezy), sunny Saturday. Since it was a bit windy we decided to sit at Teaser's outdoor bar instead of out on the deck. We had our choice of bar seats on all 4 sides of the bar but the bar quickly filled up not long after. We chose the back side of the bar looking out at the marina which happened to be right by the orange squeezer which was a great move. The bartender, Kate (I believe), made many, many crushes while we were there. It's so nice seeing Orange Crushes made with fresh squeezed OJ. Kate was a pleasure to interact with and she made so many great recommendations (Spicy Mango Crush, Baltimore Club, Mediterranean Grain Bowl). We started with crushes of course, two Orange Crushes and a Grapefruit Crush. I then switched to a Spicy Mango Crush with a Tajin rim and I may have liked that better than the Grapefruit crush. My dad enjoyed my Spicy Mango Crush so much he ordered one for himself. My mom also switched it up and ordered an Espresso Martini which was a little disappointing to say the least. Per one of Kate's suggestions, I got the Baltimore Club which is a crabcake sandwich with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and shrimp salad served on an everything bun. The crabcake itself was really, really good and combined with all of the other toppings/fixin's I think this is a must order for me next time I'm here. My mom got the Applewood Smoked Pulled Pork Sandwich and my dad got the Sunset Burger. All sandwiches are served with fries, slaw, or Mediterranean Salad. Everything was so good that we decided to come back the next day for lunch again. I ended up getting the Sunset Burger and my parents both ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich. Kate made another great recommendation as we all decided to go with the Mediterranean Salad as our side and it didn't disappoint. It was light, bright, refreshing, and citrusy. We've been coming to the area now from Jersey for years and have always had good experiences at Sunset Grille. The atmosphere is always great being right on the water but the food and service over these two days may have been the best yet. We will be back in June and will definitely be dining at Sunset Grille Marina.

Last minute decision after our plans fell through. Great food and ambience! The views, the music,…read morethe service 10/10! Definitely worth a visit . Loved!
