I really enjoyed prime rib night at Emily’s! Every Tuesday they offer the prime rib special, which includes a 14 oz. prime rib with a garden salad, asparagus, and potato for $29.95. Considering all you get, that’s a very good deal for Ocean City. All the food tasted excellent and was well-prepared. The dining room wasn’t that crowded, yet the server took about twenty minutes before she attended to my table and took my order. Other than the long wait to order, I had a wonderful dinner at Emily’s, and I recommend this place overall.

Dined at Emily's off season in May. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food (gnocchi me, beet salad her) was delicious and reasonably priced. I left my card there and the staff was extremely helpful getting it back. Highly recommend!

What an amazing first time experience!!!! First the hotel staff was very pleasant directing us to the restaurant! Then the staff in the dinning room was just as pleasant. We went for the all you can eat snow crab… AMAZING! Fresh! Honestly my husband and I would have continued to eat if our belly’s would have allowed us. Our waitress Reagan was awesome. She was quick to refill our drinks and she made sure we had a refill of the bowl of crab legs before we even finished what we had on our plate. We will be back!!! *when you go make sure to tell the parking lot attendant your there for the crab legs for a special parking price*

The food was pretty good, I had crab cakes, a baked potato, and asparagus. However the plating was kind of ruined by the plastic mini tub of sour cream. The waitress was nice but it felt like she was trying to rush us out. She brought the bill before she asked if anyone wanted dessert or coffee, which we all did. Very quiet atmosphere.

The decor is a little weird but the all you can eat crab legs they do from June-mid September is delicious! They have excellent service.

Our toddler had a minor meltdown during dinner and needed to go back to the room after a long day at the beach. And on all you can eat crab night! The waitstaff was very accommodating and kept my crab plate warm while I was away, and was nice enough to fire another plate before closing even though I was still working on my first. Much appreciated and great job, y'all!!

We were there for breakfast - a big party of 8. 2 of us ordered the eggs Benedict and the eggs were practically hard boiled . Other than that - everyone else seemed to enjoy their meals . Pancakes were very good and a great review was given on the creamed chipped beef!

Website says 38.95 for endless crab legs, however, menu says 59.95. Huge discrepancy and a severe disappointment. Joanne was amazing and the crabs were fresh and good. Manager price matched for us. 5 star definitely but -1 star for price discrepancy.

We went to the restaurant for all you can eat crab night, outstanding!! You get endless snow crabs, ears of corn and French fries. The crabs were cooked perfectly, not soggy. The melted butter was a nice touch too! My wife had the crab cakes and enjoyed her meal too!!

As you will see on the breakfast menu, they offer 3 slices of brioche Stuffed French Toast. We did not get what was offered. We were served 2 slices of regular bread with 4 slices of banana and 4 slices of strawberry, which we were charged extra for the fruit and no cream cheese. They are receiving 1 star because our waiter, Kendall, was fantastic.

It's good for what it is and Ocean City. Very creepy maid mannequin greets you inside. We had the crab cake appetizer which was very good. Cooked perfectly, loaded with lump crab meat, very little filler/binder. Should have stuck with the crab cake for the entree. Salad and bread starters we also enjoyed. We had the Prime Rib dinner special and filet. Quality of the prime rib was mediocre. Asked for rare, it was well over medium. Quality of the filet was better, but same problem with being over done - ordered medium and there was no pink at all, well done for sure. Mashed potatoes were the side along with asparagus - both were fine. Outdoor seating area is under the log flume so be prepared for some noise. There isn't much ambiance and there is a fair amount of clutter.

We paid $30 to park in the Flanders parking lot, we had to leave to check into our hotel, the young man told us you can't go in and out. We were having dinner In Emily's at 7. We told him this and he told us to come back if there was room not to worry.when we returned, we went to park in the Flanders since that's where we're eating. The parking attendant wanted another $15. So we cancelled our reservation and I called the hotel. A manager was going to call me back . HE NEVER DID. Whenever we come to ocean city we eat there. Usually there is any where from 12-16 of us. We will never go back there!

Siena was so wonderful. Very patient with our energetic 3 year old and was extra attentive to any of our needs while dining. Food was great & everything was very reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning when we're down to visit again!

When for the lunch and had the open face turkey meal. It was very tasty and the potato's fries where crispy to perfection! The decor was cute too. You get a older beachy vibe.

Would loved to love this place as love to support local Business. Went for the Prime rib night. Looked and sounded good from the pictures.... Food was soggy.. no flavor. They used instant potatoes for mashed potatoes..why would you charge so much money and offer something like that? Mashed potatoes are not hard to make. Potatoes are cheap!!! Prices were much higher than quoted on the phone when we called. Was told $26... for meals ..Prime rib was $30. Filet was $45 and not tasty. Hummus app.. had soggy veggies and barely edible. Should have known better by looking at the empty dining room. Maybe it was good once but they need to up their game again. People don't like being ripped off.

Came here on prime rib Tuesday for dinner, but they were all out of prime rib making the limited menu somewhat agitating. We felt bad for those who had made reservations in preparation for the dish specifically. Though, the food we had ordered instead was excellent. Everything we had was incredibly delicious and we would return again.

Excellent had the crusted Salmon with crusted pecans and drizzle pecan sauce asparagus and mashed potatoes ont the side. My wife had Prime Rib with a side baked potato asparagus friendly service and a pleasant atmosphere for a fantastic dinner evening the two house salads

Excellent dinner and very attentive service. We split a bowl of steamers, lost count at how many. Salmon special with Crab Imperial and Lobster Sauce, asparagus risotto. Delicious. Our server Paul and hostess Tina were charming. Highly recommend Flanders Supper Club 1923.

clam chowder was one of the best I have ever had anywhere. ambience is wonderful prices are extremely reasonable especially for a place basically on the boardwalk service was delightful, Tony was just great.

I ordered the cream chip beef after our server Sarah recommended it and it was wonderful! She was very attentive and did a great job attending to our needs during the breakfast rush of the morning.

Had family staying at the hotel and they had the ability to book the dinner club. We had high hopes but the food was very expensive and mediocre at best. A member of the party had a food intolerance and the restaurant could not accommodate at all. They had a dry baked potato for dinner while the others ate their meals. The server and manager didn't even acknowledge this, or respond to an email about it. We could only assume the food comes in frozen or pre-prepared since they could make zero modifications, even to a chicken breast.

The environment was charming and quaint. The food was good and the services was excellent! Strongly recommend!

Probably one of the worst overpriced breakfasts we've ever had. Tough unseasoned eggs, ok pancakes. Better places in OC for the price.

This was our first dining experience in Ocean City. Earlier that day, while sitting at the house I saw a plane fly overhead advertising "All You Can Eat" crab legs at the Flanders. I managed to convince the rest of the family to walk up the Flanders for this crab fest. For $35.00 you can eat all the crabs your heart desires. This includes a salad, and a side of French fries. Most crab specials start of with a healthy cluster of crabs only to dwindle down to empty shell pieces as you order more; this was not the case at the Flanders. Yes, some clusters were bigger and meatier than others but the quality of crab legs, for the three individuals in my party that ordered, was pretty consistent. The side of fries, I mean the basket per individual were enough to split with the other two adults and 11 month old babies, who had a couple, at the table and served as a great seafood palate cleanser between clusters, and helpings. The crab legs were coming out of the kitchen at steady pace. The wait time was very little to no time at all. The other members of my party enjoyed their meals as well. The kid's mac & cheese dish was a heaping portion enough to feed an entire nursery class. We certainly could have just gotten away with one order. I would love to get the opportunity to dine at the Flanders in the future. The food was good and the portions were generous. The crab leg special was well worth the money.

Okay. For the most part, the food is very good. However, I had home fries with my breakfast that looked like they were straight out of the frozen food section, and had so much salt on them that they were inedible. Everything else that was ordered (for a party of 7, 2 meals - breakfast and dinner) was pretty good. And the portions are immense. That being said, I have to wonder what the management is doing. Or if there even is a manager. We arrived for dinner pretty early. 5:00 PM. The sign on the desk said they were open 8 AM to 8 PM, but there wasn't a soul in the restaurant. I mean nobody. Not a host/hostess. No waiters. No customers. It was pretty strange, because the doors were wide open. After about5 to 10 minutes of poking around just outside the restaurant, someone came out of the kitchen and seated us. She also served us, since there didn't appear to be any other waiters on duty. She was friendly and helpful. But she would disappear into the kitchen for 10 minutes at a time. A couple times while we were eating dinner, people came in, looked around, waited for a few minutes, and finally left. It was kind of uncomfortable, as they could see that we were seated and eating. Breakfast was more lively. There were already a number of tables seated and eating when we got down there at 9:00 AM. But again, this kind of waiting game. The waitress took our drink orders promptly, then disappeared for a while. She finally came back with our drinks about 7 or 8 minutes later, and took our order, which we got about 30 minutes later. I guess the bottom line is, if you don't have anywhere to be, this is a good place to eat. As long as you don't mind waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting ... zzzzzzzzz.

This is an excellent breakfast place. The food is very good. My son got pancakes and they were excellent. $4.00 for a "large" O.J. is a rip-off. They also let us substitute potatoes for sausage but then charged us $3.00. Fantastic toast. I'd definitely come back.

I was sitting on the beach and saw a flyer banner for "All you can eat crab legs" and as an avid crab lover fan, challenge was accepted! The only disappointing part was that you have to pay $15 for parking at the hotel/restaurant which should be free or cheaper if you are eating there. We made reservations and were seated right away. We got our water and crab legs plates very fast! The crab legs were not fishy at all and had a good amount of meat in each one! Our waitress continually checked to see if we wanted more and brought them out at a steady pace! It came with a drink, fries (which could have been crispier), and corn (which was a little over cooked). Overall it was like a little expensive ($57 each) but we definitely got our money's worth and walked out stuffed!

This is such a wonderful, friendly place to share a meal with your family!! We stay at the Flanders every summer and Emily's is always the first place we head to for most of our meals! The staff is so sweet and makes us feel right at home! Did I mention the food is delicious!! We will continue to go back to Emily's and highly recommend it to others!! Shoutout to Jasmine who is a lovely young lady!

This place is very cozy and has oldies music playing which creates a relaxing atmosphere. Went for breakfast and it had the classics. It was okay. Food was average. The bacon was very good though I really enjoyed it.

Situated inside the beautiful and historic Flander's hotel Emily's is a great little escape from the busy boardwalk of Ocean City for a romantic dinner. On the way in before you enter the restaurant there are two fun doors marked "catacombs" and "map room". We couldn't get in them :( There is also a "dress" that is stiff and the back cut off so you can get behind it and pose for a picture. Service was just ok, we had to ask for refills quite a bit as well as plates for our (very good) freshly grilled bread and olive oil. We started with the pesto chicken appetizer and bruchetta which was good. Each entree comes with a house salad, but sides are extra. I enjoyed my chicken which was topped with roasted red peppers, spinach and provolone cheese. My boyfriend had a good steak, although it was funny to see a plate without any sides, just the steak. The bill ended up being pretty reasonable with the two meals and the appetizer, although, it could have gotten pricey if we opted for the sides. My only complaints would be that it backs up to Midway and it is very loud when that outside door opens and the women's restroom, albeit the entrance is pretty, is cramped and didn't seem well kept.

The food was poorly prepared and we were poorly waited on. We sat for 2 and a half hours waiting for our food to come. With a party of 6 it wasn't to difficult to serve us. We had a small child with us so 2/6 people had to leave early with him so he can nap. After we were served food was cold, over done, and not tasty. We eventually went to a fast food restaurant because of the poor service. We only went for dinner but the same thing happened last time for breakfast so we gave a second chance. The waiter was very nice but the kitchen work was awful. Not recommended at all with a large party or young child. Expected a lot better after a second time.

1st for breakfast when they opened at 8am took 1 hour and 20 minutes. Food was terrible... Benedict was over and under cooked the ham was charred and the chef decided to hide the burnt part upside down with maybe 2 tablespoons of hollindaise sauce. Scrambled eggs tasted of unclean pans...

Kelly A.

Yelp
Prime rib was decent and crab cakes w Cajun sauce were delicious..good prices, lots of food for $25 with multiple sides...basil pesto for bread was good but the bread was kinda crusty/hard...personal preference tho I guess... nice staff & atmosphere ..tho we did, prob didn't need a reservation.. easy to walk to, right off the boardwalk

Absolutely worst service and food (and useless/rude manager) ever had in Ocean City. Finally gave us a guy (Joe) who tried to make it better. The woman who took our order never brought our drinks. Salads came 40 minutes after ordered. Never brought wedge salads. Stuffed Flounder was raw. Steaks literally purple and raw/ cold and so fatty and grisly could not cut or chew. Two other tables left for such horrid service. Ruined our daughter's birthday. Will not return.

Mike S.

Yelp
Terrible. Chicken undercooked. Chef would not tell us the cheese used in the kids Mac and cheese because it was his secret recipe. We simply asked because our 3 year old only likes certain cheese. Should have known when the place was empty in the height of the summer season.

Yelp
Rotten spinach, limp lettuce, hard salmon. I would never recommend eating here. I couldn't even eat the salad and they would not take it back and they forced me to pay. The cook came out and gave me a lame excuse that the spinach was rotten because of the balsamic vinegar. Obviously he shouldn't be a cook.

I had Sunday brunch a week ago. The omelets were delightfully fluffy. And I'm a sucker for unsweetened iced tea with lemon. I was happy.

The prime rib special on Tuesdays during the summer has to be the best kept bargain in Ocean City. Our party of four all ordered the special on August 16, 2016 all ordered the prime rib special. The service was good and the prime rib was cooked to perfection. The serving size was very large...we all left with enough meat for a second meal. At $19.95 a true bargain in a resort city! If you like prime rib this the place for you.

The food is wonderful and the portions are very large. We couldn't even think about eating all of it. Staff is very attentive. Hotel is nearly 100 years old and lovely. We didn't expect elegance AND value, but we definitely got it here.

Paula mentioned to us that their breakfast was really good and to give them another try. We went in for breakfast and we're glad we did. Great service and food. We'll be back for breakfast for sure

I'm so dissappointed in this place...by the looks of it, it seemed like a nice place. Unfortunately, the waitstaff is very inexperienced. They NEVER cleared anything from our table. When I finally requested that they clear an obvious pile of dirty dishes I had stockpiled (hoping they would get the hint) away before they brought out dessert, they acted like it was such a strange request. Our "appetizer" was the soggy flatbread. Yuck. My prime rib came obviously overcooked. (I requested med-rare, and they delivered a brown w/ a touch of pink center piece) I said that was not what I ordered, and the waitress insisted that it was! "Oh, yes. That's the med-rare piece." No. I gave it a chance and cut into the tough piece and tried it...no go. When I insisted there was a problem (again) the waitress said, "Oh, He's going to cook a "whole new" piece for you!" like they were doing me a big favor. Less than one minute later, she arrived back at the table with a piece cooked exactly the same as the first. I had enough by then, and just wanted to get on with my dinner with the rest of my family. By the way, they have a limited menu (at least on Tuesdays) The appetizer was the soggy flatbread. Dinner is either Prime Rib or flounder. We didn't even have a choice of salad dressings! No wonder why the place was dead!

We ate at this restaurant on out first night stay in Ocean City New Jersey. This restaurant was excellent. We got some free rolls before our dinner came. My husband had a big burger with French fries and I had shrimp with French fries which was awesome. The waiter was great. He was very prompt and he came back to check on us many times to make sure we were good. The prices were to our liking too. We both ate for a total of $20.00 with a 15% coupon which was great. The atmosphere was very relaxing and had some soothing music to our liking. We went back to dinner here on our third night stay and we enjoyed it just like the first night. If you need a place to eat dinner try this restaurant u will not be disappointed. Will eat there again when visiting Ocean City New Jersey.

Terrible restaurant! The service was horrible. The hostess said a 20 minute wait and it was almost an hour. By the time we were seated and got our food I was starving. They didn't advertise it was prime rib night with a limited menu and I hated everything on the limited menu.
