Surfin Betty’s Burger Bar

Stopped by Surfing Betty’s Burgers yesterday while in Ocean City. The food itself was really good. The burger was solid and the Old Bay fries were great. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired.

I sat at the counter next to a few locals, and it definitely felt like the employee behind the counter was much more engaged with them than with anyone else. He handed me a menu, took my drink order, and that was about it. No napkins, no condiments, and I ended up having to ask other customers to slide things down to me.

What really bothered me was that apparently fries were free that day, but that was never mentioned to me when I ordered. I paid extra for Old Bay fries because I didn’t know. Meanwhile, the customer next to me was told about the promotion when they walked in. Had I known, I wouldn’t have ordered them separately.

Between one burger, fries, and and tip, the total came out to around $28 for one person. For mediocre service, it just wasn’t worth it to me.

The food was good, but overall I won’t be returning. Others may have a different experience, but that was mine.

OC on a Tuesday in April can be tricky to find a burger at lunchtime - glad we happened upon Betty's. AMAZING! The vibe was so chill, the staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered the "jam good bacon burger" with onion rings (HEARTY portion). The burger was phenomenal! We also had the "BYOB burger" with fries and it was just as yummy! Definitely will return and bring the family next time!

I’ve order take out at least a dozen times from this place and does not disappoint. Jam good burger is my jam! I like the idea of the aged beef and adds a lot of umami flavor. This place does it right! Ambiance matches the theme, and service is typical for take out/dine in. My favorite part of the business is its loyalty program, and get a considerable discount every other time I go. It honestly keeps me coming back. As a local living in the neighborhood this is a must stop in OC.
