Now Who's Closing?! MORE Updates In Ocean City Maryland

[@jeremycrow7776]

The Life Saving Museum is really cool! I got my inspiration from there years ago to start my own collection. They have a display in there called Sands of the World. Since I love the beach, I decided to start my own collection, so I have collected sand from our travels, and have had friends and family bring me back sand from their travels. I have 75 different sands from Ocean City to The Dead Sea, Isreal, and everywhere in between. I even have sand from Jerusalem.

[@ReelJayB]

Holy crap man....75?!?!?! That's crazy!!

[@patricklund5241]

Lombardis is my first stop every time I come down.....my first dinner that is....owner is there all the time and a wonderful man....honestly only get pizza when I am there! Love it

[@ReelJayB]

We loved their pizza. The atmosphere is amazing!

[@BadlandsBandit]

Awesome! I’m a huge fan of Fin City Brewing! Great beer 🍻!

[@ReelJayB]

They have some good beers!!

[@nickolassteuer9577]

Thanks for another great video dude! Always happy to hear updates and changes. My wife and are are thinking about coming down in December for the Winterfest of Lights and to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary. Keep up the great videos!

[@ReelJayB]

Definitely worth seeing if you decide to come down! Also check out Schellville in Rehobeth. Hope you have a great anniversary!!

[@bobbymongan1691]

The Wedge is pretty awesome. My wife ate there in September. Good Food and Good Vibes plus a great view of the Inlet.

[@ReelJayB]

That view is insane! We'll have to give it a try next year.

[@regopit44]

Nice up date Jay. Back in the early 70's a pizza chain called pappy's had a 20's theme then it became Wolfes then Lombardi's. They never changed the inside after all these years . The Wedge is ok. Nothing to write home about.

[@ReelJayB]

That makes sense why Lombardis looks the way it does!!! I was trying to figure out how to explain it....because it's definitely not 70's or 80's....but I couldn't figure out. Thanks for letting me know!!

[@MikeB-68]

I have had many breakfasts at The House Of Pancakes over the years. I hope stays the same after it sells. Thanks for the updates Jay!

[@ReelJayB]

I hope so too!

[@offduty170]

Great update - really enjoy you guys just walking around in the boardwalk and seeing the sights - super fun !!!

[@darlenereed4975]

I miss O.C.! See ya next year!❤❤

[@frankdash8677]

Great video! I have a hard time picking a favorite restaurant too. I like certain food at one place and certain dishes at another.

[@ReelJayB]

That's exactly how I feel!! And then throw the view into the mix. It's hard to pick just 1.

[@will_i_am_1126]

Touch of Italy is my favorite!!!

[@ReelJayB]

Yes!!!! We love it there!!

[@rsaxon1711]

Luna Shottis (Old Full Moon) West OC is open. Great food with new look.

[@NCMCPlantier]

I haven’t done the Wedge yet, but my BFF loved it when they popped down in October

[@jasonwalker927]

Thanks for the update keep up with the good work buddy

[@2001pontiacta]

I was down last year during the week of Thanksgiving n went to the Festival of Lights/Winterfest I actually preferred to walk through the lights over going on the tramcar. I will be down in 3 days.

[@ReelJayB]

We liked the tramcar because it had the music and audio tour, but last year we had fun just walking it. Still not sure which I like better? Hope you have a safe trip down!

[@scottsacks659]

The wedge has some great food.

[@marleneppaul]

I want to go to the beach so bad. I’ve always loved going there in the winter.

[@ReelJayB]

Boardwalk walks in the winter are our favorite!! It's so peaceful in the winter.

[@g-mang-man7924]

My family loved the Italian Inn. Peter's secret was a touch of cinnamon in his marinara!

[@ReelJayB]

Noooo way!!!! Haha wow so you know exactly where we are talking about!!! Such a small world. That pizza was incredible. I HATE cold pizza but I could eat his allllll day long!

[@g-mang-man7924]

@@ReelJayB My first wife had family that were from DC, and moved several times until they settled in North Beach. Her uncle knew Peter for many years. My first wife was a member of the Caputo family of Landover. Her uncle was Angelino Caputo. He had several businesses in DC and PG county. As a family we would go to the Italian Inn at least once a month. Personally I thought his marinara was too sweet compared to my grandfather's and he was a Mancini and his family came over in 1908, and worked the coal mines of Thomas, Davis and Tridelphia West Virginia. But in the end, it is a small world down here. Moved down from Anne Arundel County 11 (12 in March) years ago. Love it here. We live in Pittsville

[@ReelJayB]

@@g-mang-man7924 I'm sure you know or have ran into my inlaws or my wife's grandparents. They were long time residents of cheverly and thr Landover area. Pottsville is a beautiful place to live, not far from OC and very quiet!

Enjoy your updates

[@ReelJayB]

Thanks!!

[@lindamullins1693]

Pappi’s is very good, we ate there and they have another near us in Towson!

[@ReelJayB]

Oh no way! I didn't know they had another location! We're definitely going to check it out. Thanks!!

[@unionbetty]

hello friends: loved your latest video , sure was nice to see O.C. again through your eyes. I look foreword to your updates. Merry Christmas ( its the day after thanksgiving) so officially Christmas season. we have had our first snow fall for this yr. (yuck) take care Yooper Frank

[@ReelJayB]

Hi Frank! Snow already?!?!?! Nooooo thanks! Merry Christmas to you too!

[@NCFB4Life33]

Tailchasers has pretty good food and a nice happy hour menu. Highly recommended

[@NorthsideOCMD]

The views at The Wedge are beautiful. We had conch fritters i believe. Those were good but the place is a little expensive. Harrison's owns it, by the way. Also Papi's is pretty solid.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Glad to see something finally opened up there at the inlet in one of hose buildings. When I left they were still building it and nothing as open yet. They took too long to build that. I remember when they started. I was sad when they closed the 2 movie shops there at the inlet.

[@ReelJayB]

It was the never ending build! Curious to see who goes in over the winter because you and I both know someone will sign a lease before the summer crowd. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

[@MoviemaniaNick]

@@ReelJayB Thanks hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving also.

[@lindahood8620]

I ate at Italian inn growing up!

[@ReelJayB]

Hahaha no way!!!! So you know exactly where we are talking about! Their pizza was amazing!

@@ReelJayB yes! I grew up in Lanham. Loved Italian Inn pizza.

[@ABoyd9509]

It was the best!!!

We used to go to the K-Mart and a hair salon (I can’t remember the name) at a strip mall in Lanham.

[@thomasbean7704]

Your killing me with no Christmas decorations b4 Thanksgiving 😁. We do six full size trees so we have no choice. We had to start last weekend. Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family!

[@ReelJayB]

6 trees?!?! That's crazy but I bet it looks awesome!! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

[@ABoyd9509]

You have to send a photo!! Does each tree have a theme?

[@carldea]

Sunset Grill, The Shark on the Harbor, Long Board For your pizza review have you done Mione’s yet? Our current favorite pizza place.

[@ReelJayB]

Miones is awesome! We loved eating there a while back, but my kids were young so I doubt they remember. Definitely adding that to the list!

[@jeremycrow7776]

Believe it or not, PGN has awesome fried chicken. I don't normally eat that extra stuff that comes with the AUCE blue crabs, but I make sure to eat their chicken! Random thought while you were talking about favorite restaurants 😂

[@ReelJayB]

Hahaha hey, I mean, if it's good you have to call them out for it 😂

[@Elios0000]

PGN Is SUPER UNDER RATED

[@Elios0000]

Bayside Skillet and Bull on the Beach are some my top places. STILL WAITING for that Sub review from Anthonys Liquers lol guess that has to wait till spring now

[@ReelJayB]

I know!! I can't wait to try it! We had a free day where we were going to go but something came up last minute. This spring we'll be there for sure.

[@BradRains]

Thanks for the latest update tour. What did Ashley get from Candy Kitchen?

[@ReelJayB]

Dark chocolate caramels with sea salt. She's obsessed with chocolate 🤣

[@MelissaCronizer]

My favorite chocolate shop in OC is Wockenfuss have you guys tried their tasty treats?

[@ReelJayB]

@@MelissaCronizer I love them! I worked for a company many years ago and they were a customer of mine. They would always give me a ton of chocolate around the holidays. Now your making me want to go get some 😆

[@jimmywalters3071]

The food prices in OC are crazy ... that is why I either buy my own food at the food store or eat in Denny's. I'm not buying too many $25 pizzas.. or $12 drinks. I have a second place in OC and make a decent salary.. but can barely afford to eat, house payments, car payments ,cable bills etc .. I don't know how the average person , making the average salary of $60k per year before taxes can afford to eat out .

[@ReelJayB]

Food prices in OC never used to be crazy high because they were always in competition with eachother, same for drinks (notice all the happy hour signs?). There are of course more touristy places where you may pay a little more than others. $60K in 2023 isn't nearly the same as $60K in 2007. Everything has gone up in prices the last few years. Even tax rates on hotel rooms. Pizza that used to be $13 is now over $20. Hopefully it will go back to normal soon.

[@GB-rv8im]

Looks Like OC EATERY over route 50 brig next to Chick-fil-A is done...

[@ReelJayB]

Yup! They've been there for a while now. I think this was year 2.

[@azlynnhill2417]

Do you guys like belly busters? One of our faves but recently had the french dip sandwich and it was sooooo good!! But love their shrimp and fish tacos

[@ReelJayB]

We haven't tried there but it sounds awesome!!

[@shore-cityfilms]

Hey, a name drop! lol. Really look forward to hearing what you guys think of Shotti’s Point pizza. Hopefully I didn’t hype it too much haha

[@ReelJayB]

Had to name drop! HAHA well....just know Nick will more than likely give it a 5!

SHOTTI'S HAS SOME GOOD REVIEWS ON THE "ONE BITE APP", TOAST AND FRANCOS LOOK GOOD AS WELL. I WANT TO TRY ALL 3....THE PLACE ATTACHED TO BK AROUND 33RD ST, WAS PRETTY GOOD IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, IT IS CALLED RIPIENO'S. SOME OF OUR OTHER FAV'S BESIDES THE ONES YOU MENTIONED, ARE BAYSIDE SKILLET!!!! AND MR DUCKS! THANKS FOR SHOWING THE NEW FIREHOUSE ALSO, I DIDNT KNOW THAT WAS GOING UP.

[@ReelJayB]

I have another update video coming tomorrow showing the latest with the new firehouse. Ripienos is awesome, we filmed a pizza review there. Definitely a top favorite for OC pizza!

[@scottsacks659]

My favorite place to eat in OC is Harrison Harbor Watch.

[@ReelJayB]

Every year we say we are going to go there and we never do! One of these days we'll go. What do you recommend from there?

[@oneharry_og]

Went there a few years back for a general dinner. I left a $25 tip he brought it back said it was not large enough of a tip… he got $0 never been back

[@NorthsideOCMD]

One of the best places in Ocean City. My favorite steamed shrimp in OC and the Oyster Stew is outrageous.

[@posterlin]

its got a good view but the food sucks @@ReelJayB

[@scottsacks659]

@@ReelJayB I usually get the scallops or the catch of the day. We always ask to be seated by the windows so we can watch the boats coming in at the end of the day. Great view!!!!

[@TravB1988]

Jay, have you and the wife ever have dinner at the Hobbit 81st street? That is my favorite restaurant in OC.Thanks for the OC update!

[@ReelJayB]

That one is high on our list to try! I've heard its excellent, maybe the enxt date night we'll try it. What do you recommend from there?

[@TravB1988]

Unfortunately The Hobbit is closed for the season they will reopen in march/April. My favorite dish has to be the filet topped with crab imperial. Everything on the menu is great but the prices reflect it lol.

[@ReelJayB]

@@TravB1988 I can only imagine the price of the filet with crab imperial....although it sounds amazing! We'll be on the look out for it to reopen. Thanks!

[@TravB1988]

Last year the filet was $75. Its totally worth it lol

[@azlynnhill2417]

Ive heard great things about ripeanos and shottis for pizza too OC street foods is a hidden gem!! Give that a try if you like kabobs or middle eastern stype food

[@ReelJayB]

We did a crab cake review of oc Street food, I liked it! Definitely want to go back and try more.

[@NCMCPlantier]

Don’t ever be sorry about the sun 😁

[@NCMCPlantier]

Now that the nephew is grown there is no longer a need to go to Sunsations 😂 but have you ever been to Holly’s Treasure Chest in Fenwick? I know not OCMD, but that’s our “Sunsations” now. That place is packed with stuff. They are probably closed now though. The owners live in Florida in the winter.

[@ReelJayB]

We very heard a lot about Holly's, but haven't been there. The owners daughter is our neighbor. Small world!

Where do you think the best crab place is?

All you can eat or crab cakes? We don't really go to the all you can eats, but Higgins and Crab Alley are good. Crab cake is OC Uptown Eats.

[@kevinschlosberg7124]

Who told you the Little House of Pancakes is for sale?? I think most of the information you put out on this channel is questionable and unverified. You should stick with reviewing pizza joints.

[@ReelJayB]

Every update video I do is verified by owners, friends of the owners, local realtors or people I know. I don't go off "who told me", I check and double check before making any video. In this case, a local realtor has the listing for HOP. Directly from the realtor: "Looking for the ultimate business to purchase? Here you go!! House of Pancakes. 74th & Coastal. 145 seats. 75 outdoor & 70 indoor. Full liquor license. This is a 100% ready to go turn key operation. This is a business purchase. Does NOT include the real estate." And thanks for watching my pizza reviews. If you watched my pros and cons video of living here, I mention it's a small town...everyone knows everyone. That plays a big part of update videos as well.

[@harold7017]

Such a small world...glad to c Ashley got out of the hood...PG county is a shithole....I grew up in Forestville which is about 20 mins from Cheverly....is she old enough to remember Landover Mall?
