Inlet
998 Bay Avenue, Somers Point, NJ 08244
(609) 926-9611
Awesome location right on the bay.   Nice dining room.  Good spot for a drink at the bar.  Good spot to sit outside and enjoy the music while admiring the ferris wheels in OC across the bay.  If you are planning to have a large group (e.g. family reunion) - they have a large room available for parties. 

Smitty’s Clam Bar 
910 Bay Ave, Somers Point, NJ 08244
(609) 927-878
Great spot for a casual seafood lunch or dinner.  We love their seafood casseroles, New England clam chowder, and Tuna dish.  Prices are really reasonable.  It gets really busy during dinner time. We’ve occasionally called in a take out order to avoid waiting.  BYO. Cash Only.

Anchorage
823 Bay Ave, Somers Point, NJ 08244-2346
(609) 926-1776
Great  bar and restaurant.  We like their nachos, potato skins, among other things.The dining room is nice if you don’t want to sit at the bar.  It gets so crowded and the wait can be really long.  They do take out if you don’t want to wait.

The following are just a few recommendations in Ocean City, NJ.Just remember - Ocean City is a dry town. Alcohol (including BYO) is not allowed.

RESTAURANTS 

701 Mosaic
701 E.4th St 
609-398-2700
Good jerk chicken and specialty alcohol free drinks. Carribbean food.

Aunt Betty’s Ice Cream
2100 Asbury Ave
Very cool ice cream spot perfect for the family. The Rocky Road is sooo good. The line may be out the door but it gives you a chance to decide what to get. It is especially great if you can walk there from your vacation spot . However, but street parking is available. Aunt Betty's has 2 locations. We prefer the vibe the listed location. 

Crazy Susan Cookies 
1345 West Ave and on the Boardwalk
(609) 391-1919 
http://www.crazysusanscookies.com/ 
Cookies are soooo good! Priced about the same as a cupcake or an ice cream and totally worth it. We like to bring these when visiting friends on the island. 

Emily's Ocean Room Cafe at the Flanders
19 E. 11th Street
(609) 398-5700
http://www.theflandershotel.com/emilys.asp
We like Emily's because its a little different from other Ocean City options.The Flanders is a great spot to walk around and check out the historic and haunted hotel and Cape May-esque gift shops. If walking around - check out the ballroom level where events are held.

Hula Grill
940 Boardwalk
609-399-2400
http://www.hulasauces.com/
Finally a great spot for healthy eating on the boardwalk. We like their coconut shrimp (did we say healthy ?). It comes with awesome sticky rice and a side salad with delicious dressing. 

Jon and Patty’s
637 Asbury Avenue
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ocean-City-NJ/Jon-Pattys-Coffee-Bar-and-Bistro/167074502415 
Great spot for breakfast and lunch. One of the few coffee shops in town. We enjoy sitting outside on Asbury while enjoying coffee and the veggie bomb omelettes. Free wifi.

Mallon's Sticky Buns
1340 Bay Avenue 
(609) 399-5531 
http://www.mallonsstickybuns.com/ 
The smell is so wonderful when you pull up to the front of the store. The taste is even better especially after warming up for a bit. We dream of 'em. 

Piccini
1258 West Ave
http://www.menuism.com/restaurants/piccini-ocean-city-90701/online-menu 
Good spot for brick oven pizza and pasta. We love their pasta dishes. They give you more than enough for 1 person. We don’t suggest eating there since it is usually packed. They deliver and do take out. They do not take credit cards so bring cash or plan to stop at the bank machine at Wawa next door.

Positively 4th Street Cafe
400 Atlantic Avenue 
(609) 399-8400
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ocean-City-NJ/positively-4th-street/62998006969
Stop on buy for a cup of coffee. We prefer to bike there. 

Scullys 
955 Asbury Ave
(609) 391-1111
http://www.scullysasbury.com/Welcome.htm
Often recommended by locals. If nice out- grab an outside table.

Who's on First
100 Asbury Avenue 
http://www.yelp.com/biz/whos-on-first-ocean-city
Enjoy a scone while checking out the funky local art. 

Surf Cafe 
715 E 8th St 
Great breakfast spot. Relax and watch the surfing videos in their cool restaurant. Reminiscent of a day in Key West. 

If you are so inclined to leave Ocean City to check out dining options in other towns, check out our listings for Somers Point and Margate.
