where to eat at ocean city with family

[Anonymous]

We are going to ocean city, MD the first time for 3 days 2 nights as a family with 2 kids (9 and 5) in mid June. We have booked 1 night at Grand hotel, and next night at Francis Scott Key Family Resort (mainly for kids to play there). Can someone recommend us places to eat breakfast, lunch & dinner at these 2 different locations? We plan to walk around boardwalk, spend maybe 2 hours max on beach for kids to play sand (non swimmers), play in pool, eat and play. Both hotels have nice indoor/outdoor pool, and we plan to skip jolly adventures this time. Is Jolly adventures at either location the biggest highlight for kids at ocean city? We have too many stuffed animal at home, no more claw machine. At most they can get 1 tiny one both. Anything is recommended for must do as a first timer?

Walk down the boardwalk and rent bikes at dandy dons then eat breakfast at brass balls. Dinner at de lazy lizard. Fun playground for the kids.
Be forewarned that mid June is senior week. You are staying near the boardwalk and morris. Expect there to be a lot of drunk teenagers behaving badly down there.

DH is a big guy, and we don't think we will stay outside too late at nighttime outside. We were warned about that but thanks for the headsup. Summer camps are all lined up before we decided to do this trip. Next time we will try to plan better.

There are fun places in Ocean City for dinner with kids - Dead Freddies and Ropewalk both have open sand and play areas.

I second getting up early-ish and renting bikes on the boardwalk. We used to do that one morning every year - we'd rent a family surrey. Kids don't peddle much but the surrey makes it a silly adventure. Bikes have to be off boardwalk by like 10 am. So we'd hit the bike place at ~8th and the boardwalk, and bike down to the inlet (the start of the boardwalk) then bike back. We'd stop and get a drink or a snack. Always a fun morning. Then we'd go to a big breakfast place - The Generals Kitchen, Layton's, Bayside skillet.

Dumser's dairyland for ice cream or some of the locations have a decent lunch/dinner/breakfast option.

There are rides at TRimpers at the inlet. In the afternoon, you can get a bracelet that lets you ride all rides with no tickets. my kids also like the games and the dumb toys, but being able to go on ride after ride keeps them distracted (a little) from the prize games.

For dinner, Ristorante Antipasti, Hooked and Blue Fish. Sandwiches from Anthony's for lunch. We bike to fractured prune on the boardwalk for donuts in the morning.
