Service and ambience good. Fish was well presented but tasteless. My guess is they pull their fish out of the freezer and microwave it prior to putting on a plate and serving. We had the blackened salmon salad and the potato wrapped sea bass. Bread good. Lettuce fresh. Nice ocean front restaurant, but not fine dining.

I made my reservation for Sunday night at Sunset. We got there early and the staff seated us immediately. The wait staff was present and punctual. The appetizers were amazing with the calamari and spicy shrimp. The clam chowder was good except for LARGE chunks of celery and onion but very tasty. The lobster bisque was rich but very good according to the 2 that ordered it. As for the main dish, let's just say everyone was stuffed and satisfied. The prime rib was PERFECT. For dessert, the mud pie was a very large portion and extremely tasty. I strongly recommend World Famous and will definitely return again.

The food is great and reasonable considering it’s right on the boardwalk. Roxanne, Hannah and Shannon provided welcoming and superb service. A group of us friends since elementary school have breakfast together monthly due to our great experience.

Always consistent good food, great location to watch the sunset, lots of patio space. Can get a little noisy when full, but where doesn’t that happen.

Excellent breakfast! Friendly service. Beautiful view of beach. Couldn’t have asked for better. Tip: make a reservation and ask to sit at windows on beach side. Fabulous!

We were 6 locals who had never been to World Famous. We all agreed that we Would definitely return. Everything was wonderful from the food to the service. The noise level was wonderfully quiet (we were all over 80). Midweek around 6 was not busy, parking was easy too.

Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Clam Chowder and Garden Salad were amazing - Angel Hair pasta dish, not so much. The service was excellent. Put the Lime in the Coconut Margarita is worth mentioning as well. 😋
