The Great Food Escape: Periwinkles

Periwinkles is one of my favorite places to eat and the best part is....it is only steps away from the boardwalk. If you are in the mood for great seafood, outdoor seating and a great atmosphere? Then stop by Periwinkles. 

A message from Periwinkles:

Treat The Family to an affordable, fun, “alcohol free” dinner at Periwinkles! Our food is Superior because we only concentrate on the food! “No Worries, No Booze, Superior Service, Superior Food” We do, however, occasionally use liquor when we cook, (I know, you’re wondering how do we get alcohol into a “dry” town) that’s a secret, but you won’t find Sharon, Joe or any of the fine staff drinking it!

Little bit of history...
Georgie's Candies has been an institution on the Ocean City Boardwalk since 1954 when George Koukoulis founded the candy store. A tradition for many tourists has been the World Famous Macaroons. Naked fresh everyday the macaroons sweet smell resonates throughout the store. George's creamy fudge melts in your mouth as you stroll down the boardwalk. In 2003 George's was renovated and expanded. Our homemade ice cream, made from recipes dating back to 1915, has been moved to the from of the store, where long lines await the cool treat on hot summer nights. Also new in 2003 was the addition of Geroge's Breakfast Grille. All food is made to order with fresh meats and vegetables, fluffy pancakes and mouth watering omelets.

The Great Food Escape

Let's talk food! 

Ocean City NJ has so many great food venues on the Boardwalk.

 Today I am going to tell you about Del's Oceanside Grill.

934 Boardwalk Ocean City New Jersey 08226 Phone: 609-399-3931

In 1954 my Mom and Dad opened up a small sandwich shop in Audubon, NJ.  The menu consisted of steak sandwiches to penny candy. Working together, they managed to build up a nice business.  In 1965, we moved to Ocean City and relocated Del’s to the boardwalk, in the location we occupy today.

While the surfers at the time were hanging 10 on long boards by Dewey Weber and Greg Noll, Dad was serving famous steak sandwiches, burgers and much more.

Today, as time may have it, surfers are still riding those long classic boards, along with other new shapes and so are we.  Our classic steaks & burgers are still the traditional favorites of families, however, the addition of our homemade crab cakes, fresh seafood platters and other new items to our menu are destined to become classic favorites for years to come.

So we invite you to continue the tradition with us at Del’s where classic food and service is not an option, it’s what our family has been doing since 1965.

They have a great selection to choose from including salads, appetizers, kids food, hot dogs, fries, Angus burgers, chicken and seafood platters.

Here are some of my recommended items: Crab Cake and Grilled Shrimp Combo, New England Lobster Cakes, Stuffed Soft Shell Crab Cakes, Maryland Crab Cake Sandwich, Chipotle BBQ Chicken Sandwich.

On The Healthy Side they offer:

Mandarin salad with grilled chicken or fresh grilled tuna steak, Apple walnut salad, Grilled shrimp sea salad, Key West salad and more.

In the mood for snacking? They also have great Snackiteasers: Wings, Mozzarella Sticks, Chicken Fingers, Fingers and Fries, Onion Rings, Breaded Zucchini and a Snackiteaser sampler.

They also have great seafood snackiteasers too:

Buffalo Shrimp, Crunchy Coconut Shrimp, Crab Balls, Chilled Steamed Shrimp, Steamed Clams, Clam Strips, Fried Oysters and Ale Battered Cod Fingers

If you are out for a walk and in search of some great food then this is the place to visit!

happy to post it on my next review blog!
