Discovered Nantuckets when a family vacation was switched from Ocean City to Fenwick, but now we make a trip up even if we are staying in OC. Also a short drive/walk if you are in Fenwick. There are very few quality restaurants in the area, and this has been our favorite for a few years. Very good food quality, value,... More

Recently went to Nantuckets for dinner with family. We usually eat in the Tap Room (bar side) but opted for the dining room since there were four of us. Food from beginning to end was wonderful. I ordered Nawlins Shrimp and Andouille Sausage and a bowl of their famous Chowder. Both really delicious. My husband ordered a blackened chicken sandwich... More

We had my birthday dinner at Nantucket's last night. I have lived in the Ocean City area for over 30 years and had never been to Nantucket's before. It was always one of those restaurants I had meant to try but never did. So, last night we went for my birthday dinner. We were seated right away, as we had... More

My wife and I spend most summer weekends in the Fenwick Island / Ocean City area and thought that we would give this place a second shot, we had tried it once a few years ago. We were treated with disrespect from an older hostess, not sure if this was an owner or another employee. She was extrememly snooty and... More

Twinings is known for its Quahog Chowder, but everything on the menu is delicious. We have been to the restaurant side and the pub side many times and always come away satisfied. The pub offers the restaurant menu as well as light fare, which often hits the spot with a bowl of the chowda and a beer! They have a... More

My family owns a rental property in Fenwick Island located a couple blocks from Nantuckets. We always come by when we stay, and highly recommend the place to our renters. The food is quite good, but we especially love the cozy and fun bar. The restaurant itself looks very sharp and elegant, but is also friendly and welcoming for families... More

Nantuckets was a must every time we were in Ocean City. They used to have wonderful soups and entrees in a cozy, upscale atmosphere. The atmosphere is still fine, although the staff is not as courteous as in the past. It also seems as though they have put additonal tables in, which makes it feel more crowded and less intimate....

Our group of five women visited Natuckets on Saturday, November 3, for my birthday dinner. I have never been displeased with this restaurant. We usually sit in the tavern room and love the atmosphere. This time, we ate in the main dining room but had the same menu as the bar. There are many light fare options to choose from... More

We were looking for a new, cozy place for a delicious and comforting meal at the beach(Ocean City, MD). My husband and I ventured to Fenwick since they were having $19 entrees on certain days.
