Thank you for all of your efforts in doing these update videos.

[@Suibian1321]

My husband and I just went to Fast Eddies a few weeks ago for the first time! We love trying out new restaurants in the off season. The food was really good and they even had a live band playing right before we left. They also do a NYE celebration. We tried to go but they were sold out.

[@ReelJayB]

Thanks for letting me know! Sounds like everyone seems to like it, we definitely have to try it out. Thanks again!!

[@GB-rv8im]

Just noticed from the Rt50 bridge a new rooftop deck being built on the Angler Restaurant.

[@ReelJayB]

Yeah, I saw that too! Going down either today or tomorrow for another update video, lot's of things going on!

[@rickwashek478]

Glade to see you back Jay. Hope your family had an amazing cruise.

[@ReelJayB]

Wish we were back in the islands...it was sunny and 80 degrees there! Buuuuut, it feels good to be home. Can't wait for spring!!

[@thomasbean7704]

Cannot wait to get back in town St. Patrick’s weekend! Such a good time to come to OC.

[@ReelJayB]

Yeah! If you see us, say hi! We'll be at the parade again.

[@mohan2481]

Fast Eddie's food really good and atmosphere is nice they sometimes have live music but the food is good they make great burgers

[@ReelJayB]

Thanks!!! We'll have to check it out this summer!

[@95SLE]

X2 for Fast Eddies. Go when there is group performing that you like to listen to.

[@John-zo1wt]

Hey Jay....Leon's is the same owner, he is just rebranding. Fast Eddie's is now our local go to since the original Whiskers closed. If you go you have try the Hot Iron Charred shrimp! Ocho Rio's has good Jamaican beef patties. Embers has the best strip steak I've had local, we belong to the Legion across the street, which just added that roof deck.

[@ReelJayB]

Thanks! Sounds like Fast Eddies and Ocho Rios are 2 great places....we'll definitely check them out!

[@pabu8067]

I ate at Fast Eddie the other weekend. Their smash burgers were real good. Priced weren't to bad. Leon's wasn't to bad. Still looks the same as Whiskers.

[@v.hillegass4351]

Thanks for the updates! I hope the phillips "big thing" is bringing back the all u can eat crab legs! I sure do miss that on the buffets. Hahahaha.

[@MikeB-68]

Thanks for the updates Jay. Planning for a few nights late April and hopefully tight lines!

[@lacfilms8345]

Thanks for the update there Jay. Home from the Caribbean- Welcome back to the boards. Looks like you & family had a great time there. After it snowed here the other day- I felt compelled to make a reservation in OC. Be there in May for the Classic Car Show event. Glad to have you & the family back on familiar ground.

[@ReelJayB]

Thanks! We miss the Caribbean but it's good to be home! See you at the car show!

[@mega8664]

Ocho Rios jerk and tings food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A little costly but very good.

[@ReelJayB]

Ahhhh thank you!!! I was hoping someone would comment!!! Thanks a ton, I'm definitely going to give it a try this year!

[@danwilsonjr9081]

Welcome back- We will be down in 14 days- and fingers crossed the OSV is open

[@ReelJayB]

Tell me about it! They just closed it again the other day. I think it should be open soon though, weather looks good with no major wind storms. I'll probably see you out there!

[@danwilsonjr9081]

@@ReelJayB We will be spending plenty of time on the OSV - my permit expires in March- just look for the red Dodge pickup with NY plates - or the 2 kites flying on the OSV -

[@bigtow6958]

Great updates !! you need to get sponsored by the restaurants

[@ReelJayB]

HAHA I wish,that would be fun! I have something along those lines in the works....once it's narrowed down I'll be sharing the details.

[@goodolddays7899]

Hey J Thanks for the update Just curious if you'll get Back to Assateague island surf fishing Any time soon . I was always curious of the winter time surf Fishing

[@ReelJayB]

Sadly, no. There isn't much of a winter bite. I'll be out there in March/April looking for drum.

[@Bryant2112]

Wild Bills is owned by a member of the Purnell family who also own the entire block from wicomico to somerset and boardwalk to Baltimore Avenue. Which has been owned by the same family for over 100 years. The Atlantic hotel is the marquee of the lot. Unfortunately after 7+ generations the block is on the market for sale. I used to work there in the 80 & 90s. Good family to work for and even better people. OCMD is loosing some real OG family from it's history. Sad to say, they will be missed.

[@ReelJayB]

I figured something was going on, thanks for clarifying! Sad to see the "old OC" changing over.

[@anthonycaniano9892]

I hope you and your family had a great cruise! I can't wait to see what happens with the old Phillips building, I hope it remains a restaurant.

[@ReelJayB]

Me too! Just by the renovation it looks lime it appears to being updated to keep as a restaurant. 🤞 it stays one!

[@rbrevard]

Thank you for the update. I live in mid-town and pass by the old Hungry Seagull and Dough Roller multiple times during the week. I never noticed the places changed. Wow, got to pay more attention on what's happening around me. New subscriber here and can't wait for the next update. Been to Taylor's before the change over and can't wait to go back - really liked the West OC Taphouse.

[@ReelJayB]

Thanks for subscribing, I really appreciate it! I'm sure we'll run into eachother in OC one of these days!

[@bry9458]

House of Pancakes is still for sale. I was in there a week or two ago and spoke with the owner.

[@ReelJayB]

Thanks for letting me know!!

[@mackjenkins7721]

Hello Jay Thank you for the tour of ocean city. I haven't been there in a while now. At. It was good to see the area again. Fast eddie is a nice place to go to. I would say it's not for kids. At least the one I went too But i'm not sure about the one and ocean city. I just found your channel not to long ago & I really like your channel man. Keep up the good video you are putting out man.

[@ReelJayB]

Thank you!! You have to check out OC now, A LOT has changed over the years. The Fast Eddies here now is relatively new and kid friendly, it's not a chain so I think your thinking of a different one. If you remember Crabcake Factory, they had another "overflow" location where Fast Eddies is now. The CCF didn't last long until Fast Eddies took over. I guess the concept is supposed to be good with with fast service (hence the name Fast Eddies).

[@mackjenkins7721]

@@ReelJayB oh yes we are planning on going to Is ocean city this year. I have an Uncle that lives in virginia beach so we go there and stay there all the time but I also like ocean city too. I am a water guy. I just love being around water at the beach or kayaking or at the pools. I have a very big family ( wife , 6 boys , daughter in law , 7 years old Granddaughter , & a 1year & 8 month old Grandson , my lil brother Tim & his son Jimmy ) we all love to be around water or kayaking. Hopefully we can hook up and do some kayak fishing there with you if you can man. I hope you & your family are having a good weekend buddy.

[@MayorofNumber3]

I miss the Jamaican meat pies from Ocho Rios and Fast Eddie’s is pretty cool. I was also wondering if you ever did a crab cake review from Rippons Seafood. I used get lunch from there when I worked down the street. Their food is incredible.

[@ReelJayB]

I'll have to add Rippons to the list! Never thought of them, thanks for the tip!

[@MayorofNumber3]

@@ReelJayB absolutely man!! Still waiting for a Boxcar 40 review also haha

[@ReelJayB]

@@MayorofNumber3 We'll make it out there again one day!

[@regopit44]

Nice video Jay. The place in down town with the steel frame started out with a wood frame that sat unfinished for a while . I see that they keep the same foundation and foot print but it looks like some of the door ways in the foundation have been bridged with steel and will be closed off. Looks like who ever stated it ran out of money and gave up and sold it.

[@ReelJayB]

And it's odd because theres no talk of it....approvals, town votes, etc. Wonder what it is???

[@jasonwalker927]

think for update keep up with the good work buddy and i will be back down there this summer for fishing and fishing trips this year

[@freestylebeats-nx1us]

I tried fast eddys and it is actually really good

[@ReelJayB]

What did you get from there? Thanks for letting me know!

[@ewhibs]

Was there in OC last weekend and ended up at Woody’s in Dewey having their outstanding crabcakes. From your video I knew OC inlet parking was free so we went there and walked around. Anyone been to Rosenfelds deli? Thx

[@ReelJayB]

Hope you had a great time! Rosenfelds is awesome, the portion sizes are BIG so watch out!

[@paulg845]

Hi Jay, was wondering what is your regular profession or work? Also thank you for your service.

[@ReelJayB]

Thank you! I own a landscaping business.

[@JohnThomas-lq5qp]

Jay did your youngest son give any pizza reviews on your cruise. Cute funny young child. Thanks for all of the great OC vidios.

[@ReelJayB]

Thanks! We were going to do a pizza review, but the pizza was very hit or miss, so we had to pass on a review.

[@peeltheonionslowly6205]

Any updates on Anthony's Carry Out on 17th St? I thought you mentioned that they had sold.

[@ReelJayB]

Not the liquor store, the other Anthony's. The Harrison group sold it, but I haven't heard anything new about it.

[@djbillygunn7992]

Jay honest question. What do you think of Big Peckers? It's always our go to place each year

[@ReelJayB]

I haven't been there recently, we tried to go one time but the wait was too long. One day we'll try to go again. The first time we went was many years ago and night honestly can't remember it too much, I just remember the swings.

[@azlynnhill2417]

Have you been to dons seafood and chophouse? Is it worth a trip from north oc?

We haven't been there yet, maybe a crab cake review? 🤔

[@ryanfauquier7099]

What is the status of OCM crabs?

[@ReelJayB]

Last I heard it's still the same. They were open last year, but they shut down for the winter. But...just saw a facebook post from them that they are moving to Berlin??? We did a walk thorugh not long ago and didn't see them, so I guess we'll see if they move.

[@dawndiment764]

Why does Anthony’s close?Delivyes but liquor store?😮

[@ReelJayB]

Theres hardly anyone here in the winter so a lot of places close down.
