You’ve got your concert tickets, your favorite band is about to take the stage and suddenly… you’re hungry. The good news? You don’t have to sacrifice your spot or wander too far from the music to find something delicious. There are plenty of places to grab a full meal, a quick bite, a drink or a snack inside the Ocean City concert area and just outside the gates. Here’s where to eat when concert hunger strikes.

Inside the Concert Area

Harrison’s Harbor Watch

If you want to sit down and enjoy an actual meal without leaving the concert area, Harrison’s Harbor Watch is a great option. Harrison’s offers fresh fish and hot meals, with plenty of seating options including bar tops and tables. And, of course, there’s a fantastic view to go along with your meal. One recommendation? Try the oyster stew. It’s a great choice when you want something hearty and warm before heading back toward the music.

Wedge Bar

Looking for a drink and some food without committing to a full sit-down meal? Wedge Bar has you covered. There’s seating both inside and outside, along with a menu featuring burgers, tacos and other options that are easy to enjoy before heading back to the concert. And an added bonus for concertgoers: it’s conveniently located near a bathroom. Sometimes, that’s just as important as the food!

Dough Roller

When pizza is calling, head to Dough Roller. Grab a slice and keep moving, or settle in for some cozy comfort food if you've got a little more time between sets. Pizza is basically the universal concert food—easy, familiar and perfect for filling up without making the night too complicated.

The Hump

Looking for something a little more mysterious? The Hump, Ocean City’s newest speakeasy, is located adjacent to the Dough Roller. It’s a fun option for those who want to sneak away for a drink and experience something a little different while still staying close to the concert action.

OC Bites

Need something quick? OC Bites is a handy stop when you don't want to miss much of the music. Grab a lemonade, a slice or a hot dog and get right back into the concert crowd.

Dolle’s

And of course, you can't forget Dolle’s. Dolle’s has a hot dog window with a daily hot dog special, plus chips and a soda. It's about as easy as concert food gets: grab your hot dog, grab your drink and get back to the next set. No fuss. No long dinner break. Just a quick bite and back to the music.

Just Outside the Concert Area

Sometimes you want something a little more substantial—or maybe you simply need a break from the crowds. Luckily, several restaurants are just outside the concert area and within an easy walk.

Shenanigans

If you're craving hearty Irish pub fare, head to Shenanigans. Grab a Guinness and settle in with classic dishes like a Reuben sandwich or bangers and mash. It's the kind of meal that will keep you fueled through an evening of music and dancing.

Crawl Street Tavern

For a taste of Ocean City, Crawl Street Tavern is another nearby option. Think crab cakes, nachos and plenty of beer. It's casual, filling and close enough to the concert action that you won't spend your entire night walking to dinner.

Guido’s Burritos

If margaritas and Mexican food sound more like your concert vibe, make your way to Guido’s Burritos. Grab a margarita, tacos or nachos and enjoy the view of the Boardwalk while you're there. It's delicious, casual and close enough to make it an easy stop before heading back to the music.

The Angler

Just a few blocks away, The Angler gives concertgoers even more options. There’s a bar, outdoor seating on the deck and plenty of food to choose from, including grouper fingers and chicken tenders. And if you're looking for something quick, The Angler has a new pizza parlor attached, so you can grab a slice and keep moving.

Eat, Drink and Get Back to the Music

Whether you want a full sit-down seafood dinner, a cold drink, a slice of pizza, a hot dog or a quick margarita and tacos, you don't have to go far from the Ocean City concert area.
