Island Grill Seafood & Steakhouse

This was our second time here and it was just as delicious as we remembered! We got the soup sampler (not pictured, gone too quick), fried calamari, drunken shrimp, swordfish special, and the fish tacos. Everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Our waiter was very attentive and checked back in multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed. Next time we're in Ocean City we'll be making a point to stop here for dinner again.

The food was really good here. My aunt got the lobster and shrimp and the lobster really tasted so fresh. I got chicken even though it’s not a chicken house. I really wanted the shrimp po boy but decided at the last second to not get it. So someone get it for me. But my hens chicken sandwich was really good. Our waitress was Skyler. She seemed new or maybe just frazzled. We asked for separate checks but didn’t get them which we didn’t make a big deal about. She didn’t put a $6 soup on the bill and I just wanted to tell her to just to be honest and she really did put it back on the bill. She said she didn’t want to get in trouble. Which is wild. Would she really get in trouble for that? We went on a Thursday night at 6pm in September and it was freezing in there. I’m normally hot and I was

Dinner was delicious! My husband had the ultimate combo and I had the local wam bam salad. The house dressing was amazing and refreshing! Our waitress, Pam was awesome! After having a terrible dinner at another seafood restaurant in the area, this experience was more than what we could have asked for! A definite hidden gem!!

Island Grill Seafood & Steakhouse is a nice informal seafood restaurant. It’s nicely decorated with fish artwork and a large mural. The menu is pretty expansive with plenty of seafood, steak, and bbq options. I ended up ordering the brisket dinner. This was a very large portion and came with a side salad, corn bread, coleslaw, and french fries. It was an excellent meal. The service was also great, the waitress was friendly, and the overall atmosphere was informal and pleasant. I highly recommend dining at the Island Grill.

The fish, chips (French fries), and Keylime pie (homemade) were excellent. Get there early and you can pick out your fish. Service by Pam, whose three children also work in the restaurant, was outstanding. You cannot make a reservation. The place gets busy early. The crowd was convivial. But, if you are allergic to MSG, beware of the soups. It sneaked into one of the chowders via a soup base. One of the owners had to investigate to find that out. I hope they fixed that. I will go back, but no soup for me!
