A family friend recommended this restaurant and so we drove over from Ocean City for a late lunch. We were so glad that we did, we came back for a second visit on our way back home to Virginia! It's located in an older restored building in the heart of Berlin. The decor is rustic but very tasteful, with Barnwood siding behind the small bar, whitewashed brick interior, antique lamps and shutters, water glasses made from jelly jars, etc. Charming!We had two different servers on our visits, Zack and Adrienne. Both were gracious and helpful. The food was outstanding. On our first visit, I had the best crabcake I have ever eaten, period. The next time I had Quiche Lorraine, as good as anything I have eaten in Paris or in DC. Wow! Dessert was sourced from the bakery next door and tasted home-made. The wine list was a bit spare, but they featured several local beers on draft, plus a nice selection of bottled beers. They also offered several varieties of Moscow Mules, served in hammered copper mugs. Outstanding!We'll be back every time we're at the beach. It's worth the short drive.

Have enjoyed eating here for years when visiting 0.C, and thought I should post a review. Excellent breakfast/brunch with omelets and biscuits. Wide variety of quality food for a casual lunch or dinner- sandwiches,tacos, salads... Be careful what you order as portions are huge. Really love the sand bucket that the children's meals are served in. My discovery this year was their alcoholic ice Cream drinks _ they are amazing.

Starting with the good: My crab cakes and sides (mac and cheese and fries) were very good. My daughter also enjoyed her boom boom shrimp tacos. The Bad: my husband's chesapeake chicken was barely edible because the chicken was rubbery and flavorless. Also not good: being an advocate for making environmentally responsible choices, I was very disappointed that they only have one-use plastic cups for the entire restaurant. We asked about it and they said they only use glass for beer. Not a regrettable meal, but we will not be returning again.Dear Stacey,We appreciate you taking the time to review our restaurant, based on your experience. It's comforting to know that your party enjoyed our Crab Cakes and Boom Boom shrimp. We went over this review with our kitchen and made sure that we're executing on our Chicken Chesapeake more consistently. We apologize for not meeting our own expectations with your husbands meal. We can guarantee you that your experience will be better the next time you come to our establishment.As for our use of plastic, we're currently looking for a solution that will be more helpful to our environment. I don't want that to drive you away from our restaurant though. If there's any way to get you back, please email me @ [email protected],Eddie JohnsonService Manager

Great evening. Didn't have reservations but hostess told us that the upstairs bar didn't require a reservation and we could get a full menu options. Had dinner at the bar and it was fantastic. Drinks were great and the fresh oysters were over the top. We also had a few more bake/broiled oysters. Topped off the evening sharing a great dessert.Petra S,The bar areas and the cocktail waiting areas are hidden gems in our restaurant. You can get full menu options and even h e the choice of the bar menu in those areas. We are glad you had the chance to experience our raw bar... next time try one of our oyster shooters, the presentation is so awesome. We hope you get back sometime soon.Heather H

We were seated immediately and hostess was very nice. Our waitress was nice but not the best. Drinks were pictured in a pint glass, but were actually quite small. Boyfriend enjoyed his beer battered fish sliders but the gravy fries and mahi mahi taco tacos were... eh. I wouldn't eat here again, but location and atmosphere was nice.

This was our first visit, but we have visited their sister restaurant in Fenwick Island, DE, and loved it there....so, our expectations were high. We need not have worried, as Hooked lived up to our expectations....First of all, our server, Kayla was very helpful...she knew the menu inside and out, and saw to all our needs or requests, promptly. For her app, my wife had the Corn and Jalapeno Crab Bisque, and she was all smiles about it. I had the Boom Boom Shrimp,,,it was very tasty, and there had to have been at least 1 1/2 dozen shrimp in the bowl. Joan also had the Burrata Salad with heirloom tomatoes, sweet corn, pickled shallots, mizuna, balsamica nd pesto. It was excellent. We both had the same thing for our entree...Pan Seared Scallops roasted corn and poblano, smoked bacon, cheddar grits, beer broth. There were 4 scallops on each plate, and they had to be at least 1 1/4 oz. each. They were tender, juicy, and ooooo soooooo sweet....The grits were also done to perfection. We both enjoyed everything about our meal.....there is plenty of parking in the rear....next time you're in O.C. give them a try.So glad you came to check us out, Mike! So thrilled to read that your expectations were set high, and that we delivered in every aspect! We appreciate your truly kind words about the quality of the food, as well as the service. We'll pass your compliments along to Kayla and can't wait to see you again next time you're in OCMD. We appreciate your recommendation to others! See you soon.

We looked and asked around lots for recommendations on good restaurants. There was a short mention of three restaurants grouped together away from the ocean side and more towards the western end of the bridge on the bay.While we were in the parking lot, I stopped a group of guys and asked them how it was, they gave glowing reviews.It was getting pretty late so we didn't know what to expect but I need to say EAT HERE! Wife had the crab bisque and Oysters Rockefeller while I had the Tomato Salad and the Crab cakes. All were amazing. Service (JESSICA B) was excellent, she took a minute to be cordial and make recommendations. the Cheddar Rolls were YUM... It's a little hard to find but very much worth the effort. They have some outside seating on the inter-coastal and inside seating.
