Extremely convenient to get basic groceries and anything you may have forgotten. Great lunch menu with sandwiches, salads, cheesesteaks, buckets and many other kid/family friendly options. Bread and deli meats are fresh. I personally love the iced coffee on a hot day and kids love the extensive selection of candy!

Breakfast at Uncle Bill’s is simply a must. Plan for long wait times in core summer months. Lunch is also delicious so that’s typically a great option with fewer lines.

Great food and a full bar just over the 9th Street bridge. It can easily accommodate larger parties. They don’t take reservations and you should plan for at least an hour wait but worth it.

Family Fun
This was a lot of fun for kids 8 and older. Reservations are required and 45 minutes is more than enough time. Get the socks to spend less time in the water or no socks for a bigger challenge.

Traveler advice
Getting around
Ride the Jitney
While getting to the Boardwalk and most attractions from 21st Street is easy, Ocean City offers a jitney option during summer months. For a small fare, you can ride until 11 pm and save on parking. Check out the city’s website for routes, fare, and schedule.
