It’s a common question: Which Ocean City restaurants are open in the off-season?
And the answer involves a moving target in the fall and spring — with many seasonal restaurants changing schedules, opening and closing at different times.
But OCNJ Daily made an effort to call around and ask what’s open as of early October. Our list is by no means comprehensive, and we’re happy to add, subtract or update any information. Just let us know: Call 609-513-0255 or email dbergen@ocnjdaily.com.
Diners should call ahead to verify that our information is still accurate.
