About this event

Ocean City Restaurant Week 2026 runs April 26–May 9 across participating restaurants—not a single festival lot. Each venue publishes its own fixed-price or specialty menu; tax, alcohol, and gratuity are often excluded. Use the official Restaurant Week site for the live participant list.

Town releases emphasize value and culinary creativity while regular menus usually remain available. Reservations become competitive—especially oceanfront and weekend dinner seats. Allergy diners should call ahead; substitutions are not guaranteed.

Stack with Springfest / Cruisin’ weekends carefully so you are not racing Inlet traffic between craft aisles and a 6 PM seating. Browse categories on our food & drink hub, then confirm each restaurant’s Restaurant Week PDF or page the day you book.

Quick planning tips

  • Book lunch prix-fixe for shorter waits and easier parking.
  • Screenshot menus—popular items sell out nightly.
  • Tip on the full experience; kitchens run tasting-menu pace.
