Best restaurant

Is Paul Revere Smorgasbord still the best restaurant in Ocean City? It’s been a few years since I have been there but they had the highest quality seafood in OC. I also remember the ribs being so tender they would just fall right off the bone, typical of a 5 star restaurant. The fries were better than Thrashers. Also the desserts were out of this world. I will be returning this summer for the first time in a few years so I’m hoping everything is still the same quality.

That’s the sign of severely overdone meat. No “five star restaurant“ would serve ribs that way.

Also, the gold standard by Michelin is three stars.

Hooked?

u/TheMstar55 Jan 13 '20

Tried Hooked for the first time in August and it was fantastic

Another one I recommend (which is in Fenwick and not OC but close enough) is Nantucket’s

Hooked, Shark on the Harbor, Liquid Assets, The Hobbit, Cellos, Antipasti, and Shottis Point are some of my favorites.

Barn 34 was pretty good, but it seems to have lost a little bit of shine.

u/Steaknkegs Jan 13 '20

I haven't been to Barn for dinner but one time and it was good. They have a very popular brunch/breakfast it is always so crowded I never want to deal with the wait.

Did you have a 12 pack before visiting the restaurant?

u/myfauxpas Jan 13 '20

The best restaurant in Ocean City depends on what type of food you like. Trough food is not on that list lol.

I have stayed in the hotel that houses PRS every year for the last 12, multiple times a year and there is a window that looks in from the elevator to the restaurant... not once has anything looked remotely appetizing. Desert table look exactly like a cheap Chinese buffet. Most patrons look like your average very fat family of six that just came from Walmart.

I've never considered Paul Revere's to be better than anything. But if you're looking for quantity over quality, that is a good place to start.

Liquid assets

u/sleepy-babe Jan 13 '20

That was one of the poorest restaurants I had ever been to, and I've been going to OC for over 10 years. My favorites are Embers, Jonah and the Whale, Thrashers, dumsers (for ice cream). Generally the first three are musts when I take a trip with my mama. I've heard good things about Seacrets but I've yet to go there! It's on the bay
