We walked in and there was a ton of staff. We finally walked up to the check in area since no one greeted us and were told it would be awhile before we could be seated due to shift change. We then asked if the bar was open and if we could sit there. They said yes and away we went. At least 8 to 10 staffers were standing within 5 feet of us talking about the party they went to the night before. How much their schedule suckedand how hungover they were. Younger staff. We get it. Been there done that. Didn't even bother us. Though it would have been nice to at least be greeted and maybe offered a drink or menu to look over. After about 15 minutes as we were about to walk out, our waitress came over and explained that there was a staff meeting outside and apologized. No harm no foul. However, I would recommend in the future explaining this to customers. Our waitress then asked what we wanted and we had to show her that no one gave us menus, silverware or anything. At this point the visit was borderline laughable. Moving on to the good stuff. The Cajun Fish sandwich was probably the best I have ever had. Seafood wrap was good but needed a little more spice for my taste, fries were BANGIN! Cheese balls are definitely recommended! Overall a good visit. The food made up for the beginning service and when we finally got a waitress she was good at her job and was tipped well for her hard work. We will be back (not during shift change) lol

AVOID! If I could give negative stars, I would. The atmosphere canât save the absolute nightmare of this place. If anyone goes here, fair warning, it can RUIN your day and whole trip. We shouldâve realized at the beginning that there were bad omens. The drink we were excited for wasnât on the menu and the waitress was clueless about the menu items. She seemed nice enough at first, then it got âfakeyâ, real fast. Since what we were excited for a drink that wasnât available anymore, we ordered two different drinks. The frozen one was absolutely just bad. The pineapple cup one was cute and drinkable, but not good- Weak and overpriced. The food was overly salty, rather bland, and very disappointing. So, I asked for a sauce to make it better (but, I didnât criticize the flavor because I didnât want to be rude) and the sauce took forever to come to me. I had to track her down and remind her, but when it did, she said nothing to the table about a charge. SoâŠwait for itâŠthe more this experience goes on, the more horrible and perplexing. Ready for the metaphorical rough seas to try and drown us? Hereâs the worst part: The bread they gave us was literally harder than some types of rock. Unbreakable and inedible (see video). We told her about this and without an apology, she brought new. Hereâs another shocker: we didnât realize until the end that they CHARGED for the replacement bread. Excuse me, what? How does anyone think they can get away with this? When it came time to pay the waitress was nowhere to be found. We asked a random employee to find her. At this point, despite us being pleasant the whole time to the staff, she acted SO bothered that we were ready to leave and payâŠgod forbid, right? She didnât show us the receipt; only asked for the card to swipe on her handheld. My family member says she would like to know whatâs sheâs paying first and see the breakdown. Suddenly, the waitress pretends to be too nice and nervously hands over the handheld. My family starts questioning chargesâŠlike the charge for the sauce she forgot to bring until I reminded her (it should be illegal to charge for tiny sauce cups without informing the customer first) and, THE REPLACEMENT BREAD CHARGE!!! Charging for replacement bread is insane. I shouldâve taken a bite of the âdeathâ bread and forced them to pay for the broken tooth/teeth that clearly wouldâve happened (it did hurt my hand and damage a nail trying to break it before I realized it was solid all the way through). Plus, they can charge an automatic tip percentage (which anyone this happens to, know thatâs the sign of automatic incoming bad service). So, we asked for the manager. This guy was incredibly rude, too! Non apologetic and tried SO hard to justify the bread charge (which we were nice enough to only dispute that one), but, ultimately/regretfully removed the charge. We explained that the bread had to be touched to be served; they knowingly served something that would hurt someone if eaten. This is NOT acceptable. Yet, he still tried to justify it. We paid a metaphorical arm + a leg to be treated like hell and get horrible food/drink. After all this, my family asks for a hard copy of the receipt and rather than paying w/card (b/c these swindling scammers can NOT be trusted), she chose cash. The waitress has the audacity to ask if we want change đ€Ł Firstly, the food quality was unacceptable + couldâve hurt someone if we didnât inspect it first; secondly, the waitress wasnât even present most of the time and was unpleasant; thirdly, she was sneaky, adding charges w/out prior information (news flash, omission of information is still lying). I donât know why, but my family still tipped, yes a lightened tip, but, still a tip. We shouldâve tracked down the annoying guy who tried to guilt trip us into taking a pic in our booth, b/c it was âhis first dayâ, to take our picture with our hands giving thumbs down. However, that wouldâve just been another astronomical and pointless fee theyâd sneak in. This place should not be allowed to be in business.

When we first walked in we were happy by the ambience. There were statues of pirates, a fake pirate's chest, a t-shirt shop which looked like it was on an island cove and more. We asked to be seated outside and it was a 30 minute wait which was cool, because this gave us a chance to take in all that the front of the restaurant had to offer. We were seated outside. And that is where everything seemed to keep going downhill. Our waiter was amazing, however not even his great attitude and service could make up for everything that was to follow. First we were giving menus. On the first page of my daughter's menu was a piece of green onion which mean they did not do a great job of wiping the menu down after each guest. This is always unacceptable and definitely unacceptable when the restaurant did not seem to be busy. Outside there were only two other parties of three. They gave us water in our own individual pictures of water. I thought was cute until I turned mine around and there was a piece of green onion on it. I was beginning to think maybe this was the theme. lol. The server was embarrassed and brought me another picture. We ordered the crab dip. It was decent. I've definitely had much better. My daughter and I ordered the Pineapple Rum Crush, which was pretty good. It came in the cutest pineapple cup that we were able to take home with us. I ordered the Caesar salad and added chicken. When it came I opened up my utensils and my fork was bent. By this point I was ready to press restart like in a game. I was given a new fork. I began to eat my salad and someone was definitely heavy handed on the salt. My daughter ordered a pasta dish. By this time I checked out on what everyone else ordered and was in a funk. My BFF reminded me that she ordered the Black Beards Burger. It was plated beautifully. She said it was ok. I typically give restaurants a second chance. I do not think that will be the case with this restaurant. We were all very underwhelmed as soon as we picked up our menus. If you like green onions on your menu, salty food and bent utensils THEN this is the place for you. IF I did go back it would be for another cute pineapple cup.

Went at 4:40 pm on a Monday restaurant was empty the hostess sat us directly in the sun we could not see and it was beyond hot. We ordered our food immediately as we sat down within 5 minutes. After another five minutes of sweating I went up to the hostess after we ordered to have our table moved into an area that was cooler either inside or outside and we were told we could not move that we had to stay at our table. The manager was very short never once introduced herself was extremely rude. I walked away to our table and the food runner came out with our food I told him I wanted our food wrapped up and our drinks put in to go cups because I was not able to eat my food in this heat he said he would have to talk to the manager. The same manager proceed to come out and tell me the same story but added in the food runners could not speak English and that is why they could not move our table. I told her the one I just spoke to spoke perfect English she moved our table at that point and then had us move again to the inside but he had to pay first and then never once when we had our food did we have someone come over and ask about our food or if we needed anything else. Spending $100.00 for 3 wraps and kids chicken tenders is insane for such terrible customer service. I would not recommend this restaurant when there are plenty of other options in Ocean City.

This is a family restaurant with playgrounds located back on a canal. Even if you sit in the outdoor "adult area", Kids are running by. We ordered " the blend" . Cream of crab đŠ and traditional MD combined. It was pretty good, but not very hot. Then we ordered the "Rock Bites". Appetizer. Very good but expensive. $14.99. Under the recommendation of 2 employees, we ordered Captains Chicken & the Chicken Jennifer. You can order full or half order. Basically, one breast or two. We ordered 1/2 order. The dinner arrived on a plate slightly larger than a saucer. The chicken breasts were supposed to be topped with crab meat and sauce. There was very little crab meat or sauce. This dish was about $18 each, and no veggie. Rice was dry and very little of it. Reminded me of box of chicken Rice-a-Roni. Chicken was grisly and dry. Just awful, and disappointing. When we told the server, he honestly laughed and said he would tell his manager. After a lengthy period, the manager arrived to see what was wrong and was almost argumentative. Saying to "I like our chicken - well you ate most of it" he said to my husband. After trying 4 items, we would recommend the Rock Bites, but we will go back to Longboards or Pit & Pub.
