Micky Fins

Well. To start. Greeting by a very unfriendly bartender at outside downstairs bar. Finally seated, waited ten minutes finally had to ask for menus. Five to eight minutes later our server introduced themselves, collected dink order. Wasn’t back for another ten minutes. Ordered 3 apps, took twenty minutes and food was cold subpar at best. Once our food came the sever never came to ask how it was and disappeared for 20minutes. I am a year around local born and raised in Oc graduated from Stephen Decatur and will not be back.

Dinning by the marina in an upscale restaurant for OC. Prices reflect the nice atmosphere and the food is pretty good, not great. Service was a little sparse as the waitress and young food runner were really busy and unorganized. Grouper was on the smaller size but still good. Crab dip with large pretzel sticks was also good. Would be a four star if portions and sides were a tab larger.

Had a great dinner last Saturday night. Mahi fingers for an app and I loved their Lobster Tacos. Nice spot to watch some boats and have drinks/​apps for happy hour! Wish it was a little closer to where we normally stay on vacation.

Our meal started with the lovely server Jessica. Friendly, attentive and very informed of specials and menu. I had the grouper special with her recommendation. I was not disappointed. My friend had the swordfish. Also delicious! We also had crab dip to share. I can’t wait to go back to try some more of many fresh fish dishes they offered. I will also ask for Jessica as she brought our experience to the next level!!!

The service is terrible. We had a party of 18 Marines paying 35 dollars a head to go fishing with this company. The Captain of the boat whose name sounds like «Kale» was Rude to us from the beginning. There are other fishing companies in O.C. that will treat you better.

I wanted a good seafood dinner. Nothing on the dinner menu in the entrée section was even remotely healthy. It was all fried or covered in a cream sauce. I ordered the clams and linguine without red pepper. It came out cold with tons of red pepper. I’m pretty sure the linguine was never drained as it was floating in water on my plate. My husband ordered a cheeseburger (he was tired of seafood). It was ok but nothing to write home about. I ordered the white Sangria. Now I know it’s supposed to be sweet but it was basically a glass of fruit juice. There was no wine it. You know how I know there was no wine in it? I’m a light weight. After ½ glass of other sangrias. I’m tipsy. I drank this whole glass and felt nothing… nothing. It was gross. I’m not diabetic but I thought I was going to go into a sugar coma! We went during «happy hour» when kids eat free. I had my 2 kids with me. They didn’t take their meals off the bill until I mentioned it. I did tell the server the food and drinks were bad. She said «oh sorry» and handed my husband the bill. Didn’t even offer to bring a manager. I have never complained at a restaurant… ever. Just because I’m too nice. For what I paid for this dinner. I had to say something. I got no response. I will never go back. Ever. If I don’t get food poisoning from this meal I will consider it my lucky day!

I do not quite understand the glowing reviews. This place was not bad by any means but left a little to be desired. The service was sub-​par (and I am by no means high maintenance), the food was good, but I have had better in Ocean City, and the quantity was small.

The service and atmosphere were great! The crab dip and wings were delicious. I had the mahi fish tacos which were very good. They also have a great happy hour every day! I highly recommend Mickey Fins, it’s a great place to go with friends or family!

We had a really good meal tonight. We sat on the 2^nd floor and had great views of the marina and OC. I had the «fish bites» appetizer and my wife had the steamed colossal shrimp appetizer. Both were fantastic. I had the grilled swordfish which was perfect and the wife had lobster tacos which were good, too. She had iced tea and I had a mojito which was ok. The service was slow, that’s why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, I will return next year.

We sat outside on the deck and had gorgeous sunset views of the bay and Ocean City. Our party had crab dip, wings, a cheeseburger, flautas, fish tacos, and lots of drinks. The food was delicious. Everything came out hot and was well-​cooked and well-​seasoned. Our only issue was the service. Our waitress forgot drinks on a few occasions and was generally very slow. The food was surprisingly well-​priced for the location.

Really nice Marina location with good views. Food is generally very good. We’ve been there several times. Although lately noticed some issues with the kitchen getting backed up — happened on two visits. I’m talking really backed up. Also, we love the lobster tacos, but one of my partners tacos was actually spoiled. They didn’t charge us for it, but those kind of things shouldn’t happen ever.

Used to be much better. Still a nice venue but menu, food preparation and service at bar have gone way down hill.
Bartender acts like she’s doing you a favor when she does her job… whatever.
Mediocre food presented with mediocre service.
You can do much better at several other places!

I was in town and had heard about this place from friends. So I decided to make the trip to West OC to check it out. I don’t know what the other reviewers are talking about because I had a great meal. I had the lobster tacos (AWESOME) and then the Mahi dinner which was cooked perfectly. We sat upstairs outside with an incredible view of the inlet and the servers, well the whole staff, were as accomodating as you could find.
The rest of my party thoroughly enjoyed their meals which included fish dinners, salads and crab cakes. I definitely give this place a thumbs up and will be returning again when I come down next month.

While vacationing in Ocean City, we ate dinner at Micky Fins twice. The first time, I really enjoyed my meal. The second time, not so much.
The first time we went, we ordered the crab dip with soft pretzels which was so amazing. I had the crabcake sandwich which had a decent amount of crab and was very tasty.
The second time we came, I ordered the Ahi Tuna SALAD which is listed under the SALAD menu… it says, «crunchy vegetables, thin noodles, cilantro, crushed wasabi peas»…so I assumed ok, salad with lettuce and then some veggies, tuna, thin noodles, etc. It was brought out and it was not even remotely close to a salad. It was a cold pasta dish with tuna on top. If I had known that, I would not have ordered it. I ate what I could but I really did not enjoy it at all. I do not like cold pasta. I don’t think they should advertise this under the salad menu when it does not have any salad-​like qualities. I was pretty disappointed. But we did order the crab dip again and that was delicious.

Ok, so I was like you, sitting in Ocean City, tired of the sub par food, by most of the crap shacks and dinosaur restaurant that litter coastal highway and decided to go on Unilocal for the help. This place seem to fit the bill, it was off the beaten path in west ocean city and was mentioned by a local as place that locals go. Sounded like potential.
I loaded the wife and kids in the car and the six of us headed west.
I was truly looking forward to this meal and upon arrival and first look at the menu things were looking up. The restaurant is literally right on the water surrounded by fishing boats. The building was relatively new with appropriate architecture and the inside was a modern rustic with lots of windows and views. We were seated at a nice table with windows and vistas on three sides. The menu was a really nice assortment of classical regional food (crab cakes, soft shells, assortment of fresh fish) along with pub style favorites. The hostess was pleasant and our server was attentive and available.
Queue the jaws music… the food was lame and a HUGE Disappointment… where do I begin???. I’ll start with me. My first question was where do they get their fresh fish. I was hoping to hear that they may actually get it locally since there were probably more commercial fishing vessel within a quarter mile radius of the restaurant then anywhere on the east coast. The response was something about Philadelphia, and then I just tuned it out. I decided, when in Rome do like the Romans, and went with the soft shell crabs. In my mind I’m thinking classic lightly coated soft shells delicately sautéed with a little lemon and butter on toast… honnnnnkkkk (alarm sound)…wrong. What I got was two soft shells dunked, battered and breaded then deep fried to generate a crust as deep as the ocean in a display that would make Mrs. Paul gasp. I guess I should have asked how it was prepared, but everything to this point told me this was going to be a solid place and to go with it… Mistake…
My daughter ordered the tuna. There was choice in preparation and sauce (wish I had that choice) and she selected to have it seared with a maple (???) sauce of some kind. It came and it was a nice size portion of tuna, it was cooked rare but the outside of it had the color of canned tuna. It looked more poached then seared. The sauce was not horrible, just bizarre.
My son is not a big seafood eater, so he went with a burger. This should be a slam dunk right… honnnnnk…wrong. He first asked, before ordering, if they would cook the burger rare, knowing that many restaurants won’t serve rare burgers. He was assured he could get in any way he liked. He selected rare. The waiter brings the burger out and it is the size of brown silver dollar. I was shocked, nothing about this place said they can’t even make a hamburger, but wondrously they failed at the simplest of grill staples. I looked over after he took a bite and the inside was so well done it was practically white. Does anyone in this place give a crap about quality??? I’m getting worked up again… calm down.
The Mrs. and other son went with another shore classic, the Maryland Crab Cake sandwich. The sandwich had the look of a classic crab cake… from the 1970’s, and it tasted about as fresh. You know that classic recipe from the back of the old bay can, and then they add a little more bread to stretch the crab cake. Not sure who go the extra when they stretched it with the extra bread but it didn’t make it on either of these buns. Hello Mickey… there is a new standard for crab cakes and your nasty balls don’t cut it.
Finally my youngest daughter, who is not always the most adventuring eater went, with a flat bread with shrimp and crab. The menu said that it came with spinach, so she asked if she could get it without spinach. The nice waiter went back to ask if such request was possible. Sadly this was far too difficult and it only came with the spinach??? The bells and whistle should have been going off on this one, but I was in a bliss brought on by the spectacular view and spending time with the family. In hind sight, there is only one reason they couldn’t serve it without spinach… it had been pre-​prepared sometime before we arrived and the beginning of time… not sure when. The flat bread was just ok, clearly not fresh, the crab meat found a great place to hide because it was not spotted during the entire meal. My daughter is still alive thank you for asking.
So that’s my story and I’m sticking with it. I write this cautionary tale because a vacationing family only has so much discretionary income. This place will suck you in with its ambience and menu, but will rip your heart out with its poor execution. What a shame…

Overall a great place for dinner. Crab cake had more filler than what I remember but a Close second to sunset. Can’t go wrong with either place!

Short and sweet:
Atmosphere is great! Love the «beachy/​boaty» feel.
Service is good… bartenders are friendly.
Food is typical. Crabcakes are average.
End of story!

We ate lunch here, and it was good! Great service and atmosphere. I had the crab cake sandwich and some cream of crab soup. My meal was delicious! My mom had a Cesar salad with grilled shrimp… too much dressing on the salad, but she couldn’t stop raving about the shrimp.
The place has an indoor and outdoor bar, and it’s right on the inlet. They also had some nice happy hour specials on the menu. I would like to check it out for hh sometime. It seemed like a cool place to chill.

GREAT menus, both the bar menu and dinner menu. View is fantastic, price range is excellent, quality ~ scrumptious. We dined outside next to the marina and had a great time! Enjoyed TWO apps, 4 entrees, couple of beers and walked out full and spending under $ 100, can’t beat it! Live music and the service was wonderful!
Seared Tuna salad was perfection and the calamari was delicious!

I had already eaten at Sunset Grille, as that is one of my parents’ favorite restaurants in the area. They own Micky Fins too! My father and I wanted something low-​key, and surprisingly, this place was not crowded at all. We opted to sit outside, on an outdoor seating area (an extension of the upstairs dining room) with a roof over top of the dining area. Part of the deck upstairs is not covered, and had gorgeous flowers! Wonderful view from both areas! Large restaurant upstairs and downstairs. Views of fishing docks and the inlet.
We had the fried green tomatoes with crabmeat on top… absolutely amazing! Also tried the crab cakes and was in love! These have got to be the best kept secret and crab cakes down the beach! shhhhhh!!!
Jumbo lump crabmeat, spiced just right. Wonderful pricing as well!
Cannot wait to return!
