The wings were the perfect crispy , nachos loaded to the brim, and tacos packed with flavor. The buffalo chicken salad did have PROCESSED chicken on the salad but the sauce had heat and tang. Insert sad face . Choose between indoor and outdoor seating with stunning ocean view. Taste the salt in the air and feel the gentle sea breeze as you dine outside. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Plenty of hot crispy fried favorites that hit the spot every time. Lively atmosphere and always busy. Grab a seat under the colorful umbrellas and soak in the atmosphere on the boards. They have a legendary 2 pound burger challenge called " The Biggest Balls of Them All" If you can conquer 2 pounds of juicy flame grilled beef ( quadruple decker) and fries you'll walk away with bragging rights , and winners shirt. Let the feast begin ! read more

Returned again this year and it was pretty much the same story. The drinks are the highlight for sure and the food gets the job done. Service is fast and efficient. Seating is right on the boardwalk so you get great views. Really cannot go wrong if you're looking for something simple after a day at the beach. read more

Food is overpriced and subpar at best. I got beef tacos I mean grease tacos. Completely disgusting. My wife got a crab pretzel which was a microwave pretzel with greasy pile of crab dip with a piece of cheap cheese cooked on top. Waited over 20 minutes for the waitress to come back. She was too busy doing side work instead of asking if we liked our food. This will be last time I will go to OC read more

Everything about this restaurant was wonderful. The food is amazing. Although some may consider it a bit pricey, the portions are definitely worth the price. We not only had dinner but had lunch leftover for the next day. We went during peak dinner hours, and the restaurant was extremely busy. Despite this, we were seated immediately and given the option of which section we wanted to sit in. We chose to go upstairs to the bar area, which still had comfortable seating. The overall vibe was very relaxing. My only complaint would be that the drinks from the bar are very small in comparison to other area bars and restaurants, yet they're the same price or more expensive. Regardless, I highly recommend the Brass Balls Saloon. read more

July 2025 | Double Nachos, Zero Regrets Brass Balls easily ranks among the top nacho spots in OCMD, and maybe even the planet. We doubled down this year with two servings and didn't leave a single crumb. Still made room (barely) for our go-to entrees: Fish Soft Tacos and Black & Bleu Steak Tacos. As usual, both hit the mark. See you in 2026. read more

Atmosphere is great. Food is just ok bar food. The service was ok too. Had a really quiet waiter that we couldn't hear well.

Food was good service was great and outdoor seating was ok but the chairs were a tad uncomfortable but no biggie. I'd go back!

Drink was excellent! Service was great. Food was pretty good too. Would go again. Maybe try something different next time. read more

My friends and I stopped in at brass balls saloon twice this past weekend. Both times we were seated promptly by a friendly hostess. This restaurant has multiple seating areas. They have a cute covered outside patio overlooking the boardwalk and beach, and also extensive bar seating and indoor booths. They offer an extensive food and drink menu. Their crushes were delicious. I loved my fish and chips, the filets were large and the batter was crispy. I'd skip out on the cheese fries as they are just their standard fries with shredded cheese on them. Our server was named dejan. We asked for waters twice and we never received them. It was also extremely hard to flag him down. Although the restaurant seemed busy we often saw him standing at the hostess station staring off into space. He checked in with us once then we never saw him again. The older man at the bar was helpful and our drinks came out quick while seated there. I'd recommend brass balls due to the great location and satisfactory food. The overall atmosphere was fun and our food came out hot and quick. read more

Server was not very attentive. I had ordered the chicken breast covered with crab dip entree... I have NEVER had such a tough, rubbery chicken breast.. tried using a butter knife, which is all the server gave me. I had to go look for her and I requested a steak knife... well, that hardly cut the chicken.. besides being rubbery, tough, really hard to chew it had NO taste. Do not get this. read more

Rating this a four only because happy hour is only at the bar not for outside or inside. Service was quick food was very good most of the meals (sandwiches wraps come with chips) can upgrade to fries Would come again very filling with a good view! read more

While cruising along the boardwalk on our two-person surrey bike, we took a break for a quick bite. This spot is a great stop toward the end of your ride, and the catchy name pairs well with a fun gift shop for OCMD souvenirs. We got seated right away with a perfect view of the water for people-watching. The servers were friendly and greeted us with smiles. I went with an egg white dish, fresh fruit, and a warm roll. My girlfriend's dish was bigger than expected, which worked out for me. The dense, warm biscuit made for an amazing egg sandwich. This place also seems ideal for afternoon drinks, which we plan to try next time. read more

Had a good experience there tonight. The ambiance was exactly the same as Shenanigan's on the boardwalk...not as overpowering as a true bar, but not as peaceful as a true restaurant. And, just like Shenanigan's, the floor space is half-bar, half-restaurant. Food was good, beer was good, service was good. Really no negatives, but nothing that knocked my socks off, either. It's a very good place for dinner on the boardwalk. read more

Luke warm French onion soup left my wife vomiting through the night (5/15). A real blot on our first time here in Ocean City. Avoid.

Cute little saloon on the boardwalk. I had great peel and eat shrimp with old bay seasoning and a pina colada. We got my toddler the kids meal and it was amazing! So many foods she loved and a cute keepsake sandwich bucket. Our waiter was great! The entire staff seemed to get along really well, I loved seeing that! read more

Visited OC this past weekend and wound up coming to BBS every single morning of the trip. It's your standard breakfast foods: omelettes, eggs, pancakes, etc. I enjoyed that the breakfast meals came with cantaloupe, too. -1 because they don't have iced coffee, and it's a bit annoying repeatedly asking for ice. Service was hit or miss. Had a great waitress, Juddy, the first morning. She was on the ball, very intuitive, refilled coffee and brought new ice without asking, brought takeout boxes and bags; we were truly a PITA asking for things, and she was just a pro A+. The third morning we were ignored virtually the entire time by our waiter. I don't recall his name, but he kinda resembled Ron Weasley. We had to get other employees and even a bus boy to track him down because he would just consistently disappear in 10 minute increments. He came around at the end of the meal asking if we "needed anything now" in a very bored tone. He really did not care we were there at all, and was completely uninterested in handling our table. Drink menu is huge, I'm sure everyone can find something here. Good views overlooking the beach. read more

Ordered a crab omelette and only tasted a hint of crab! My cousin ordered shrimp tacos and had 3 little pieces of shrimp and the rest was fillers! Not worth the money! Very stingy on main ingredients. Disappointed as there are hundreds of different restaurants in the area! You are definitely p to eat on the boardwalk. Don't waste your money here! read more

Fantastic food! I ordered the nut & berry salad and received a generous bowl of mixed greens told with loads of strawberries, blueberries & candied walnuts....all topped with real Parmesan cheese . And the raspberry dressing was amazing. ......so good I ordered a second salad to go and Tasso Elba for breakfast the next morning. Husband ordered the turkey Ruben and also loved his! We will be back next visit! read more

Out of all the restaurants I went to during my weekend stay this was my least favorite. I went with a relatively large party and the restaurant was busy so I was pretty surprised by how fast everyone's food was coming outs. Time passed and my order never came out. My waitress assured me after everyone received their food that mine was on the way. Once another 20 minutes passed she finally worked up the courage to tell me she completely forgot to put in my order and it's just extremely difficult to not be frustrated in situations like this that could've been avoided. To make matters worse once my food arrived I personally didn't like it. During my wait I had a bite of my girlfriend's po boy and it honestly was one of the best I've ever had. I was also a bit disappointed in the crab dip... the bread resembled hot dog buns. read more

Stopped in here for dinner since it was close to the hotel I stayed at for my one night getaway. Had a BLT . Sandwich was excellent and loaded with crispy bacon. Like I had made it at home. Loved how the walls (and ceiling) were covered with '50's through '70's nostalgia pieces. Really gave off a good vibe. My server was friendly and prompt. Can't really ask for anything more. Definitely would return for a quick bite read more

Ocean City Classic Looking for places to have a drink on the boardwalk, stumbled upon Brass Balls Saloon. Despite the name, this place actually seemed somewhat family friendly and the service was pretty good, although it did take a bit to take our drink orders due to the fact they were training a new employee while we waited to place them. There is an outdoor seating area and a large restaurant style indoor area as well with a long bar. We also had trouble choosing our drink as they have an extensive frozen drink selection (orange crushes, etc), my wife got a strawberry and basil drink which she said was delicious. Overall I will definitely be back and will probably stay for a full meal, recommended. Thanks read more

Our hotel was next door and we ate here for breakfast three times during our stay. Couldn't recommend them enough! The breakfast options are filling and a great value for the price. Staff is quick and attentive. Their outdoor seating is comfortable and covered with umbrellas to provide shade from the sun. There is a gift shop with lots of great souvenir options. read more

Great spot on the boardwalk for outdoor ocean view dining. Fun food and drink menu. Food is good. Service is very attentive. Definitely worth the walk away from the more crowded boardwalk area to get a meal. Maryland crab soup was hearty & delicious. Coconut shrimp app were perfectly crisped and flavorful with a sweet & spicy dipping sauce I loved. Others in our party enjoyed the salads which are very generously portion, the Reuben sandwich was great too. My husband got the rack of ribs. Nice portion, very meaty and tender. He said they were delicious. They must have been because I wasn't even offered a bite Definitely will be back next trip to OC. Enjoyed the view, the service and the food! read more
