Jonah and the Whale — Restaurant in Ocean City

Absolutely terrible! The buffet price was $32.99 person, which in a good restaurant is a reasonable price. The buffet selection was very minimal, cold, dry and way over cooked. The salad bar was by the front door, which was constantly opened. The plates at the salad bar were hot and several of the plates had food still stuck on them. The crab legs (when they finally were able to put them out on the buffet) were small and very few of them actually had a good bit of meat in them. Not to mention they were also way over cooked and the body meat part of the legs were grey and looked as if there was a foamy substance caked to them. Each person at our table only had 1 plate each due to the fact that we couldn't stomach the terrible food. Our dinner party consisted of 4 adults and 1 child, our bill was $188.00 and that was with no alcoholic beverages. 2 of us had upset stomachs before we left and the other 3 were sick throughout the night. The one descent comment I can make is that our waiter was very prompt and professional until the end when we had to wait 35 minutes for our bill. If you enjoy cold, over cooked, over priced dry food in a cafeteria setting, then Jonah and the Whale is your place, otherwise never eat at this so called restaurant. How their doors stay open is...

Went for buffet style but it’s not. the all you can eat is served from the kitchen plate by plate. The first round of crab legs were amazing and ever round of crab legs got saltier and saltier it literally tasted like the crab leg meat was sitting in a dry salt rub plus they came out of the kitchen cold, Prices were average and the service was amazing. at the very end they brought my slip out and automatically charged my 18% “service charge” i believed it to be a gratuity charge but the more i read online i think it’s a charge from the restaurant for the restaurant not for the servers. which really upsets me they are already charging us for the food and drinks, why would they charge us 18% of our bill to cover their expenses? I didn’t even leave a tip for the waiters because i was under the impression that’s what the 18% charge was for… I feel like a crappy person if my waitress doesn’t get her tip out of it. If your going to get the all you can eat crab legs just expect them to get saltier and saltier with every...

This the biggest trap for tourists I have ever come across. There is no bar for drinks.but they will tell you they serve drinks. Waitstaff all around you just not waiting on you.The food was cold dryed out and spread all over the place. Never did get a lobster be careful everything is ala cart.except the frozen box shrimp cold mash potatoes and the frozen desserts were no better.complained to the hostess who was rud and just kept saying we serve drinks just not top shelf.now I know why the poor waiter said it.as good as the management. I had. Cold string beans dyed Masked potatoes some kind of pork no one at the carving station and shrimp I had to clean my self for $69.00 if I wanted the crab oyster claim that an additional $39.00 that's if you can find you waiter.I as ske the hostess how do you get a lobster her attitude wa mlms off the chart. I paid the bill and left.never again. The town board should be ashamed of them selves for allowing this house to remain open. It give o ean city a...
