The bartender STAT absolutely loved my service dog. He hand fed her pulled pork and made her the screensaver on his phone. 10/10 (real) service dog approved. read more

28th St. Pit & Pub - The bartender STAT and my dog Macy - Barbeque Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

I wouldn't recommend going to Ocean City, MD in January because almost everything is closed for the season. This place was one of very few that was open for business and we expressed our gratitude for that. There was a significant wait for a table due to this, and the fact that a playoff football game was going on also. When we finally got a table, our server was great. She was super busy, yet took the time to answer our questions and be sure everything was to our liking. We got a few items to share. Starting with an order of smoky buffalo wings, which were half price all day. They weren't overly spicy and had a definite smoky flavor to them. Delicious! Then we got the seafood quesadilla, full of shrimp, bay scallops, and cheese. It came to the table with eight quarters. For the entree we got the meatloaf with two salads as sides. The meatloaf looked kind of funny coming out alone on the plate, but we'd gotten the fresh, crisp salads a bit earlier. The meatloaf was a huge slice, very dense, with a definite smoky flavor, covered with brown gravy. The food came to us in a timely manner and was hot when it arrived. Our only complaint would be that it was very loud and hard to carry on a conversation without yelling. That's probably to be expected in a bar on a game day. When we left, I told the hostess what a good job she and the others did in such a busy environment. They could've been harried and short with the customers, but I didn't see any of that.... Only good attitudes everywhere! We would definitely come back if we're ever in the area again. read more

Where to start..... The coldest day so far & it was just as cold inside as out. We ate with our coats on. My husband and daughter got the toco dinners & they were the size of an appetizer. Very little meat. They left hungry. I got the pulled chicken & dumplings which was pretty good. Living here we eat out all over the place and will never go back!!!! read more

28th St Pit and Pub is good local bbq spot. We were staying nearby and decided to give it a try for lunch. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We tried their orange crushes which were very good and decided to share a few appetizers. We ordered the chili Mac, smoked Buffalo wings and pork ribs. The chili Mac and pork ribs were a hit and I highly recommend both! The smoked wings good but not a standout like other appetizers. Next time I visit OC I'll definitely be back! read more

If you are visiting Ocean City chances are you will want to stop by the Pit & Pub. With over ten TVs and a loyalty to the Ravens this is the spot to stop for a drink and the game or a family night out. The interior is big and open with many long tables great for groups. When the weather is right there is seating outside as well as an outdoor waiting area. The first time I came I ordered the fried fish tacos and a side of mac and cheese. The fish was quite overdone and was breaded as opposed to battered which disappointed me. I added hot sauce and borrowed some tartar sauce from my partner and lubed it up enough to finish the two tacos. The mac and cheese was delicious although very simple and quite small. A few days later I came back and ordered the Thai shrimp and a side of fries with honey mustard. The shrimp was amazing, perfectly fried and the sauce was sweet and spicy. My partner ordered the fish and chips with sweet potato fries both times as it was an excellent dish! read more

Rustic type place with dark wood booths and bar. Our party of 7 including 2 kids were accommodated on a comfortable high top. Our server was top notch. Took care of every request with a smile. We had nachos which were ok and onion rings which were fabulous for the table. Everyone had assorted meats including brisket which were all cooked to perfection with their tasty bbq sauce. Sides were good as well. I would return when in OC again read more

Have you ever heard of The Universal Constant from Star Trek? *in Shedlon voice* its the concept that states: AT some point in your life, you're gonna run across someone who just pisses you off. They won't have done anything to you but the feeling is there nonetheless. That (to a much lesser degree) was how I felt coming into the place. There was just something about it that just didn't feel right. Our server was amazeballs! Not just because she was polite but because she was Sonic the Hedgehog!!!! They were definitely understaffed (as most places are in Ocean City during Corona times) but she zoomed all over the place and I never felt like she didn't have everything under control. She had fantastic drink suggestions and our water glasses never reached less than half full. The issue was the food. I had the half and half combo (half chicken and half brisket) the brisket was just ok, I finished it but the chicken was definitely on the dry side. None of us at the table actually finished all our food because it was all a bit...off. This whole dining experience can be summed up with the phrase "Just-ok" it wasn't bad but it's not the kind of place that I'm likely to ever return to. If nothing else is open, go for it, but don't go out of your way to eat there read more

My wife and I dine here every so often but the last two times we've been here had been hugely disappointing. French dip meat has been like shoe leather and whoever runs the kitchen of late is not dialed in. Service was mediocre as she would wander off and not check back a little more frequently. We will give it one more go down the road, but if it's a third strike then we are done. read more

Love this place!!! Read the review from Beth E., and like others have said this is not the case. Erin is AMAZING! The service is phenomenal and food is great! The Elvis impersonator tonight was awesome. 10/10 recommend Pit & Pub to all my friends and family that visit Ocean City read more

I just read review from Beth E. from tonight. If it is the lady I am thinking of she went from table to table asking people to give up their table for her friends. We had a large group of us from out of town that come to OC every year at the same time and we were there for dinner and the Elvis show. Place was very busy and the waiter staff did an awesome job. Beth E said tables were held for friends of waitress- we didn't know the waitress but we sat at open tables. This lady even came to my sister, asked for her table and later called her a hussy. I think her comments are about the staff are uncalled for, they did a great job, the food was wonderful and we had a great time. This lady was rude to the other customers in the restaurant and she should apologize to the staff she insulted. Sincerely- Customer from Emmitsburg,MD. read more

I was there tonight and the service with waitress Erin was terrible! We were waiting for a table and she kept a table for her personal friends who only used 4 of the 8 seats. Her friends kept a table saying they were waiting for other to join them, which never happened. Mind you this establishment was very busy for a Friday night. We had friends with us who left because of the wait. This waitress set her friends needs before the restaurant's business. I find it disgusting that four seats were available and business was lost on a Friday night because of this waitress's personal friends. Other establishments would not have wasted four seats on a busy Friday night. I feel this place was very disappointing. read more

$15 for a pound of wings. In this case it equaled 6 wings per pound. And they were not big wings at all. $60 for 2 dozen wings. Flavor and taste were awesome.... Just very expensive !!!! read more

Arrived for dinner with my husband & 2 kids on a Monday night ~9:30pm. Got seated pretty quickly in a spacious booth; table & bench were clean. Atmosphere was more college bar based on the loudness, but it simmered down after about 30min or so. We ordered two appetizers (1lb wings and crab dip w/pretzels) and four entrees (kids cheese pizza w/carrot sticks; chicken tenders w/fries; chicken cheesesteak w/fries; and cheesesteak w/hush puppies). Servers brought out the appetizers and entrees at the same time, and it took ~5 min just to receive our water. Food was mediocre and overpriced, but I feel that is typical for a beach town. The only item we wouldn't order again is the crab dip (not enough crab in it). Average price of the food items was ~$19. In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't order any bbq items. I would've been disappointed if it tasted mediocre and paying $20 or more for the plate. read more

I got the hot beef with brown gravy over French fries, Aah it was just ok!! My wife got a burger she said it was hot but we both said we wouldn't go back! 50$ wasn't worth it.. Waitresses were not very inviting at all. read more

Lots of menu items to choose from. Food was a little overcooked but waitress was attentive and atmosphere was nice.

Went here for lunch and we were excited to try some BBQ. It was self-seating so honestly kind of our fault, but we sat in a booth next to a super loud family and the back pipes on the wall sounded like it was cranking some heavy machinery. The pulled pork sandwich was also just okay. It was moist but it lacked some punching flavor. But the pickle was ginormous and I appreciated that haha. But anyway, this place was pretty good and standard. read more

Didn't seem like a very well know place on coastal highway, but should be. The bbq and sides here are amazing. Came here twice in a weekend. First night, went here for dinner with a large group of guys. The service was superb. The food obviously with this group took longer than usual, so our waitress was apologetically, friendly, and kept our thirst quenched. Once the food came, it was silent. I knew I couldn't finish the large entree portions I saw coming out, so I ordered two entrees- side of ribs and the chili Mac and cheese. The ribs might be the best thing on the menu, with the cornbread. The chili Mac and cheese needed some salt and pepper, but overall good and had some kick! We then came back with a smaller group on Sunday to watch the Ravens game. Atmosphere was electric and service was again, top notch. I did get an entree this time- ribs and crab cake platter. Ribs again, great; sweet and tangy fall off the bone and meaty. Crab cake had chunks of meat. Had coleslaw and cornbread. Coleslaw was good, a smoky flavor to it which was different. Ribs and cornbread I'll be back for. read more

This seems to be the spot everyone goes to in the evening after the conference is done for the day. The atmosphere was definitely live when we arrived. It seemed to be only one waitress working at the time but it didn't feel like it. Needless to say, she worked the room fast and efficient. So, I ordered barbecue chicken with greens and mashed potatoes. My food came out and I took a bite of the chicken and it was kinda cold, so I sent it back. The waitress brought it back out, at that point I cut into the chicken and it was bloody this time. So I'm done at this point, sent the chicken back and didn't eat the sides. The other problem was, the waitress didn't ask if I wanted something else. Went to 7-11. read more

28th St. Pit & Pub - Barbeque Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

First time here. There are many options to choose from, they smoke their own meats here. Had a lot of difficulty choosing what to eat so I had the award winning wings, the family had the brisket, pulled pork and half pound ribs entrees. Everything was tasty, including the sides of mac and cheese, corn bread and hush puppies. Abi was our server and she held the entire place down until the next shift of staff came in. We will definitely come back here, and maybe skip lunch, great portions! It's worth a try! read more

Service was great. We walked in on Monday around 4:30 and was able to be seated right away. Our server was Sean. He was very pleasant and very attentive. Our drinks came out quickly. Appetizers were very tasty. We ordered the seafood skins. There were six in our group and everyone ordered something different. No complaints at our table! We were all very satisfied with taste and portions. I loved the atmosphere, very comfortable. There were TV's placed around for some of us to watch sports. I would highly recommend the 28th St. Pit & Pub. I will be back for some more great tasting food. read more

FIVE stars.. ALLLL the way!!! I had been wanting to try the Pit and Pub for a long time and finally did, last weekend! SO.. OHHH my goodness. I have to say - BEST fish tacos in OC. My bff and I both ordered this. They were prepared PERFECTLY and they offer grilled mahi (which many places do not) for their tacos. My husband had the Beef platter with gravy fries and LOVED it.. so fresh and delicious. The prices were reasonable and the portions were very generous! The atmosphere is very nostalgic/old-town OC. It's not fancy or anything - but, honestly.. sometimes you just want a down home vibe. THIS is the place. I highly recommend a visit to them next time you're in OC!!! read more

Food sucked!!! Son sent his food back. My friend my the smart one and didn't order any food.

If you like beef barbecue, this is your place! Great variety of meats classically prepared.

Came here for lunch when we got into town and all were pleasantly surprised with the meal. The smoked wings were delicious. I ordered the pulled pork and was surprised by the flavor it had. Definitely worth ordering. read more

My wife and I both loved this place. The food was great the service was great. The only negative thing that I could say is that I could not eat all of the food that they gave me. I don't enjoy Mac and cheese at restaurants often but there's was good. We will return here. read more

I usually go to Northside and I've loved it and everything's been fantastic. I go every time I come to Ocean City. I went to this location because it was closer to where I was staying! Service was mediocre. My food was terrible and I was shocked. I had a burger I would not recommend. Worse than fast food, burger. So sad because I don't get to eat out much I would just be careful what you ordered and ask questions about the menu read more

Rating 4.5 I am definitely a fan of this place! Was down here for a girls weekend and we were all craving some REAL food were so tired of fries burgers etc. This place really hit the spot. The location was good, the food tasty and our server was very nice.The prices also weren't bad but there was a bit of a wait once we were seated for our food but it was worth it. The pot pie my gf ordered was HUGE. I ordered meatloaf, mac and cheese and greens. The meatloaf had a great smoky flavor but some BBQ sauce would have been nice, the mac and cheese was really good and the greens seasoned well. Thank you for that! I'd definitely recommend this place and will be back. read more

It was a busy night with the Caps game on, but the hostess hustled trying to get customers seated. My husband and I were asked if we wanted to share a 6-top with two other people and we agreed. This is a bar atmosphere, not a restaurant, so sharing a table was acceptable. The old Bay wings were good, but they were small and could have used a little more seasoning. My husband enjoyed the smoked meatloaf and homemade mashed potatoes & gravy. I had the smoked brisket quesadillas. They were good; however, they too needed some spice to kick up the flavor. read more

I happen to check the reviews on this place via Yelp!!! Wow... this place was really good overall. Service was good staff was friendly and food was really good. Let's just say, I didn't even have time to take pictures because I was so hungry and it looked so good. I would recommend this place. My personal recommendations would be the Candy Bacon for starters and the Pesto flatbread. Then try the ribs and the brisket... enjoy read more

While visiting OC during COVID and mid-week, choices were limited. Hubby wanted BBQ, I wanted a burger and my a hot dog was also under consideration. While searching the web, we stumbled across 28th St. PNP, then read some very promising remarks on Yelp along with skimming the menu which had everything on it to satisfy us all. Welp, Our experience was a pleasant one. We were greeted warmly from the barmaid and told we could choose our own seating. Right away, our server appeared. Looking at the menu, we couldn't decide what to get! Everything looked so good. We ended up with the potato skins with their shredded brisket and cheese and the old bay and honey old bay wings as apps and then shared the French dip sandwich. The food was out quickly, the server was very accommodating and the food was very good. Like one other, I could use just a punch more salt, but that's a easy fix! Stop by if your need town. It was worth the sit down! read more

Great food and plenty of it. Service was outstanding and was even treated to live entertainment. Great drink selection. Seems to be a locals favorite which is always a good sign. Highly recommended. read more

Good barbecue, huge portions and a nice atmosphere. We started with the pork rib appetizer which was exactly as described - slow cooked - meat fell clean off the bone and it tasted very good. For entree we each got the brisket with different sides: salad (no pic, sorry), baked beans, Mac & cheese, hush puppies. The meat was placed on Texas toast and covered in barbecue sauce, with more sauce on the table if needed. We added a side of cornbread which was also yummy! We often will see multiple choices of sauces, but here there is only one. It's a mild sauce, I would say more tangy than sweet. Prices were reasonable and service was good. read more

I've been to the 28th St location a few times, and the experience has always been 5 stars. My first time was on a busy night and I was with a large party. We were seated pretty quickly, considering the size of our party, and the experience was very pleasant! Our server was spot-on with drinks and meals. One of my pet peeves is what I call "auctioning food", which is when the food runner doesn't know who got what, and will just hold a plate and say "pulled pork sandwich?? Beef brisket???", and the customer has to claim their food... annoys me to no end... anyway, this did NOT happen and it was all a very fun evening. My most recent experiences were carry out - the person who answered the phone and took my order was super pleasant and informative each time, and my food was waiting for me upon my arrival. Also - the food is always hot and delicious! read more

I give this place three stars, I've been here twice. I made a mistake by getting fish. I know this is a barbecue place so my recommendation is stick with the barbecue, I have not tried but I'm sure it's probably good. I know in Ocean City there's a debate whether pit and pub or Bull on the beach. I prefer Bull on the beach but I'm sure it's preference of your taste whether you like pit and pub or the bull. read more
