Sunset Grille — the best restaurant in Ocean City for value and view
Another day in Ocean City and another lunch at the Sunset Grille. I had an intern I wanted to take to lunch and she had never been to this favorite Ocean City restaurant. Shocked, I took her to my favorite lunch spot in West Ocean City. We ate outside enjoying the sun and the gorgeous view of the harbor and Ocean City’s hotels and amusements across the bay. Walking into the restaurant is a pleasure as well. Anywhere you go, you encounter the most spectacular tropical flowers. There are hibiscus in every color you can image, from bright sunny yellow, to pink, to orange, and the traditional red. Nowhere but in Panama 25 years ago have I seen such a spectacular display.
Where else can you go in Ocean City where the lunch specials are only $4.99 during the week? Cheap is only true in the financial sense, however. The food is homemade and delicious. Today’s choices for this great price included a turkey burger with avocado and cheese with chipotle baked beans, fish and chips with a side of cole slaw, a romaine salad with chicken and dried strawberries, a cup of soup (Gazpacho or Maryland crab) and half a roast beef sandwich. I’m sure I’m leaving a couple of options out.
If you miss the $4.99 lunch special during the week, don’t despair. Although the prices are much higher off their regular menu, they are still competitive with other restaurants in Ocean City and you can’t beat the quality and flavor of their food. Try Sunset Grille, you simply can’t go wrong.
