Drinks were spot on - especially the lavender lemon drop. Highly recommend the Cowboy Burger. My husband loved the Neptune flatbread. Thanks for the suggestions, Adam, and the phenomenal service! read more

stupid good! I have celiacs. this place is heaven. so many options- we had fried pickles, coconut shrimp, bourbon carrots, fries, crab cake, fresh local bread....all gluten free. I may set up a tent outside so I can eat every meal here. Adam was amazing and reassured me every step with making sure everything was gluten free and marked as such. Such a cute place. we will be coming back! read more

First time visit this week and pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Small food area inside a distillery but great service, food choices and location. We did a flight of vodkas which was a terrific bargain and fun way to taste the products. Fried pickles and grilled sandwiches were spot on as were the fries. Food served hot and perfectly done. Left stuffed and satisfied. We will add to our Berlin rotation for sure! read more

This was the worst lunch experience. I came in for a quick drink and lunch while working in the area. After wanting to take a moment to look at the menu the bartender served me water and I no longer wanted to order a drink as there was no longer a thirst for any of their drinks. I ordered the chicken sandwich with goat cheese and peppers. The bread was dripping in an oily and burnt toast and then seemingly grilled due to blackened marks. The chicken was not cooked for sandwich bite size pieces and was grisly. The goat cheese was a glob of cheese spread an inch thick and unbearable to eat.. The potato chips were so full of salt, I wondered what brine they had then sitting in. The lights were so bright shining onto the bar, I was blinded throughout my meal. I would not recommend this Distillery at all and hate that I have to leave any stars. I would recommend the owners stop their expansion and focus on basics for their staff. From ambiance to liquor sales to basic food preparation. Limit your menu items until you can serve an overall experience. read more

Visited for our team softball dinner. 5pm reservation. Tuesday Wonderful establishment. Owner came over and introduced himself. Thanked us for coming. Food was decent. Not sure the kitchen can handled party of 45. Crab cakes are delicious. I also had wings they were very over cooked. They use a separate fryer for anyone with a shellfish allergy. But a new employee fried coconut shrimp in wrong oil. Thank hod we asked it would have been pretty bad for a few people in our party. Alfredo had a sour burnt taste so my daughter didn't eat it. Nothing else was offered in its place. Reading reviews see it's a local favorite. Bartender on point with Shirley temples (virgin) for the girls provided in pitchers for the tables. Over all experience was good. I would go back for a second review. Has indoor and outdoor seating. Would recommend to try it. read more

Stopped at Forgotten 50 on way to Ocean City. What a GREAT experience! My daughter has celiac and we went there for the gf options and wow - there were so many! Even for those of us that eat gluten, we couldn't taste a difference. Everything was wonderful and our waitress was knowledgeable and shared their safe preparation practices to ensure there is no cross contamination. Can't say enough about the great food and experience. We will definitely be back!! **meant to take some better pics of the food and dessert but we dug in too fast!! read more

Excellent find. The decor has old patents of distillation equipment in frames around the lounge. The drink list is a thorough treatment of cocktail sciences. We tried their house made gin cocktail, Cabin Fever. It had a refreshing tartness and unique flavor from the pine needle syrup made in house. You can also try a local IPA or porter on tap. On the food, the stars were the Brussels Sprouts charred with Maytag Bleu Cheese topping, the Fried Oysters, the Crab Beignets, and the French Onion Soup. The soup was amazing, beef broth redolent with soft onion and a slice of bread with cheese that perfectly complemented it; a meal in itself. The hospitality was on point and the executive chef came to our table; we had a great conversation about the menu and recipes. This is a must-stop if you're in this area. read more

Excellent food, drinks and service. When chef was unclear on an order at our table, she came out personally to discuss; uncommon to see and so appreciated. Food was all cooked perfectly, high quality, and so tasty. read more

Had their happy hour special (3-5). The Tandoori wings were really delicious with the right amount of spice though a little salty. The staff were busy getting setup for an event but they were still very attentive to our table and were very friendly. I enjoyed the indoor outdoor decor. The 5 dollar martini was smooth but had a good kick to it as well read more

We had a reservation and were seated immediately in a very busy night. The server was kind and sweet and efficient. The ambience is really nice! The food was just ok. I had a salmon pasta dish and it wasn't to my liking but may be fine for some. I thought the salmon was fishy and pasta overcooked and sauce too heavy. My friend sent her crab cake with fingerling potatoes and squash. Everything was dry. I probably would not go back for entrees. Maybe I would go back for cocktails and apps. read more

My husband and I ate here twice when we were in town it was so good. I'm always excited to find a restaurant with a dedicated gluten free fryer! I had a scallop, tomato and ramp special and they were able to substitute risotto for the pasta. The second night I had a crabby grilled cheese and fries. They had a hard cider and some cocktails that were gluten free too. There was live jazz music on Friday night and the place was hopping around 6 pm! It was surprisingly quiet on Saturday evening but we ate later and closed the place out. Our waitress was great and gave us some local recommendations too. read more

I went Sunday and it wasn't too busy.The bartender does a great job!I started with the onion soup and it was excellent!I got the hamburger with the blue cheese and bacon.It was very good.Why I can't give it the top rating is you have to pay extra for the fries and the other burger place that I gave tops to gives you real fries with the meal.Overall, good food, good service, and nice ambience to the place.If you're in Berlin MD,don't pass this place up or you'll be missing out! read more

What a little gem this place is! The cream of crab soup was delicious. It came with a piece of toasted ciabatta to dip with. Then we had the crab grilled cheese made with manchengo and cheddar cheeses on the same wonderful ciabatta. Good cocktail choices with their own distilled beverages. Hope our travels bring us by here again. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. This place was an absolute disaster. We waited two full hours for our food--with no updates, no apologies, and barely any acknowledgment that we even existed. When the food finally arrived, half of our order was missing. Not wrong. Missing. We had to remind the server (twice) about what was missing, and they just kept saying "it's coming right out." Spoiler: it never did. We ended up leaving hungry and frustrated, and honestly, I wish we had just walked out 45 minutes in. The food we did get was mediocre at best--definitely not worth the wait, or the price. No manager ever stopped by, and there was zero sense of urgency from the staff. I don't expect perfection, but I do expect basic competence. This place delivered neither. Save your time, your money, and your patience. Go literally anywhere else. read more

Great staff and very good food. Interesting vodka's and Gin's I would return here in the future.

Cool setting. Just went for quick apps with my husband around lunch time to hold us over until dinner. I have to eat gluten free so my options were limited, but there were a couple things that caught my eye! We got the Brazilian cheese bread, which was delicious. There are only 4 little pieces so it's not a large portion. We also got the crab guacamole which was great, but the portion size was very small for the price! Half of the bowl that it came in was filled with arugula. Would have liked a larger portion or at least the guacamole. read more

Everything was excellent!!! The service, the drinks and food!!! So much food and half was taken home. I would recommend to all, especially gluten free. The best all around Will be back when back in town Theresa Clark, Rhode Island read more

Bartender was very informative. Drinks and flatbread were very good. Be the ambience at this distillery is awesome

I stumbled upon this place in Berlin Maryland while I was having some service work done to my car from a shop up the road. I had an excellent dirty martini and a fantastic onion soup. My server was the bartender at the bar, she could not have been nicer. This is an interesting place, they actually do have a distillery in operation making gin and vodka. If you are in town drop by , you will not be disappointed. read more

I would not recommend this restaurant for larger family reservations. We sat down for dinner at 5:30 PM and didn't receive any food until 6:30 PM. We ordered our mains while still waiting on our appetizers, and it wasn't until 7:45 PM that two of the ten entrees were brought to the table. Nearly all the others came out incorrect. The chicken in the lettuce wraps was undercooked, and the steak and cheese sandwich arrived without any cheese. Our server started off attentive, but as the evening went on, we were never checked on--no drink refills, no follow-up on our meals, nothing. This restaurant seriously needs to evaluate both their kitchen and service staff. We haven't read more

just ate a early dinner here at Forgotten 50 Distilling! https://forgotten50distilling.com/ We found the restaurant because of their Gluten Free options! They did not disappoint! If you are Gluten Free and near OC Maryland this is a must have! Highly recommend, awesome food selection and extremely delicious! We had all appetizers and all was filling and so good! Can't wait to come back! read more

Hostess's, Bar Tender's, Server's customer service were outstanding and pleasant. Drink recommendation's spot on. Food: Fried Oyster App great stuff but only 5, Crab Cake Sandwich with Tots and Prosciutto. fig grille cheese with sweet potato fries. OUTSTANDING. OMG. this was sooo good. Arrived a little early so followed Hostess recommendation to sit at the bar and she'd come get us when table was ready. Met Adam, the Bartender. As a mixed drink drinker he recommended and Gin sorta margarita WOW. and of course a natty boh can. Now the place is small and limited tables the kitchen is small and slow which is ok with us. Talking to the staff no one in particular, owners are looking to expand. the back bar is just as small and has a few high tops first come first serve as well as the front bar. The place is tight, small but worth going. Adequate parking. Great STAFF great FOOD BETTER Drinks, We will be back!!! read more

I have not reviewed for a while. Mainly because many places don't inspire me, especially post Covid. But this place is a gem. This place is an exception. This place is a hidden treasure. The atmosphere is warm and casual while the food is upscale. A rare combination these days. The arugula salad was perfect. I loved that the dressing was on the bottom to mop up the goodness. I hate soggy salads. The beets and fried goat cheese is not unusual but perfected somehow. The onion soup was excellent topped with Texas size bread. Savory! The mini burgers hit the spot. Locally sourced beef. And the bartender, Terri, is a pro! Beautiful cocktails and the best Manhattan I ever had. And say hello to Cana because she is super special too. Seriously... you need to come here. read more

Over great experience. Walked in on a Saturday night and got seats at the bar with no waiting. Drinks were all made well, food was great and service was friendly, prompt and attentive. The restaurant was clean and well done. Basically everything you'd expect and want in a good dining experience. We'll be back!! I highly reminded giving it a try. read more

Outstanding Gluten Free Menu! 3 pages of choices from soups, salads, appetizer s, sandwiches & entrees. I had the Buffalo gnocchi to start & the fig & prosciutto grilled cheese sandwich on GF bun, which was made down the street at the bakery...no frozen store brand! Folks at my table had the nopales (grilled cactus) tacos, jerk chicken sandwich & salmon burger. Everything was delicious & fresh. The staff were all very friendly & seemed to enjoy working there. We will be back! read more

Came in and had a really nice meal. We had heard that this recently opened place was good. It's true. There were a few glitchy things - I felt the menu was limited (at least more than I expected - but I do get that a larger menu does not always equal better food) and it felt like they were still getting their stride. Nothing tragic, just not quite there yet. In my opinion; when they hit full stride, I suspect they'll be a 5 star place. We had a big table (9 of us) and the server did a great job keeping up. Everyone got what they ordered and she was friendly and helpful. The ambiance had a warmer fee than most of the industrial modern vibe, at least it did to me. I had their chicken sandwich and my wife had their wings. Both were very tasty. I would recommend. read more

Burgers were solid. Watch out for the sautéed shallots to fall out on your shirt, but they added nice flavor. Home chips were flavorful.

Fun place to go with friends. It is not inexpensive but nice to go for good food, different drinks and great ambiance! Enjoy! read more

This place is apparently brand new, and I appreciate the guts and effort from the owners, distiller etc.. Our bartender was awesome and informative. He was overly focused on each drinks which was appreciated, though time consuming. The food was a bit of a reach, though from a P&L pov, I get the vision here. The lobster salad at $22 was a chilled 1/8 lobster and a ton of leafy veg. Borderline offensive upon arrival. I ordered that with a side of fries, which turned out to be frozen at best, thinking I'd be good. Nope. Added a flatbread on. $77 for one person. Don't get wrong, there's a time and a place for high end, craft specific places. But as an outsider from northern DE, this place is going to offend a lot MD locals with their price point vs yield. Do you hold you ground or succumb to the locals? Best of luck F50D!! read more

Fantastic chef Reese!!! And assistant chef Kelly rocks! Fun environment... i loved the Chiopino! (Seafood stew) read more

In 25 years one of my best gluten free experiences ever. The hostess offered the gluten free menu without being asked. That's a first. The ambiance and the service couldn't be better , and the food was incredible. Highly recommend. read more

The newly opened and patiently awaited Forgotten 50 is everything we hoped for! 5 star service and ambiance! The design is such an industrial and unique feel to Berlin. The bartender did some tasting with us, which was a delight. Tried some things I hadn't before. Shared clams casino, skirt steak, and corn salsa add the lump crab. The chimichurri sauce was the best I've ever had! Steak cooked perfect. And the corn salsa was so good, adding the lump crab was the best touch. First time trying clams casino, cheesy. Cannot wait to go back again and try new things on the menu! read more

Their handcrafted cocktails....Superb. The food is some of the best on the Eastern Shore. Go here, As a lover of craft liquor, I endorse this establishment. read more

We went here this past Saturday night, great little restaurant with a few tables up front plenty of outdoor seating for the season and a nice bar space with live music in the back. The food was very good we had all three of the Oktoberfest specials and the crab guacamole. Brats, potato salad and schnitzel all excellent as was the Crab Guacamole. The pretzels missed the mark a bit. It was a nice attempt but the pretzels were no airy like the yeast didn't rise. The beer cheese was good in flavor but grainy in texture. We had a few cocktails all fabulous and beautifully presented. Service definitely has an opportunity to improve. Overall we enjoyed and will probably return. read more

I've been waiting for Forgotten 50 to come up on Yelp so I can finally write a review! I came here a while back when it first opened with a group of eight people. Now, I will preface this by saying that my experience with most of the food in Berlin has been 50/50. Some places season their food well while others don't. Forgotten 50 absolutely passes the test when it comes to taste. The crab guacamole was by far the tastiest thing I've ever had from a restaurant in the Eastern Shore. The churrasco flatbread was also delicious. However, the bread pudding and molten lava cake was the best thing that night. Most people eat with their eyes before eating with their mouths, and my kid and I were feasting for days just looking at the desserts as they were cooling down. It is THAT good. Make sure to stop by for a drink or two as well! read more

I don't usually write a review after a first visit, but our experience was so wonderful, I just have to pass word along. We thought the menu looked interesting but had no idea how truly creative, exciting, and delicious the food would be. But, first things first: it is easy to get to this place-you don't have to go into the center of town- and easy for parking in their large lot. We were greeted by a super friendly woman on the bar side who lead us into the dining area and took our drink order. (I wish I had gotten her name) When she brought my husband's beer the glass was only half full and she apologized and said that they were opening a new keg and this was the end of the current one. She wanted to bring this small bit in the meantime for him to have something to drink-without charge. How nice! Then a bit later, she brought a full glass that looked great to me with a half inch of foam on the top and apologized again saying that the manager thought it wasn't quite ready to serve. My husband-who knows his beers-told her it looked just fine and he pronounced it perfect for an "early" beer and he enjoyed it a lot. From that point, our server switched to Raelyn who was sweet, lovely and super helpful in making our selections. I decided to start with the lettuce cups with plum sauce and they were excellent and plentiful. For the price, I was frankly not expecting such a large portion. For our "mains" hubby got the cheeseburger with fries. The burgers were hand pattied and perfectly cooked and the fries were terrific! (I ended up stealing a bunch of them-they were addictive) My main was the Salmon and Sauteed Spinach in a carrot/ginger sauce. I was a bit hesitant about ordering this since the sauce sounded strange but it turned out to be fantastic! I am a (HUGE!) sauce person so I was thrilled to see this entree served in a bowl with a ladle of the sauce in the bottom and the perfectly cooked salmon on top. (The spinach was just under the fish and it was excellent too) I did not make any specifications so I was extremely impressed that the salmon had a crispy bark outside while the interior was juicy and tender. When both of us take a bite of a dish and then say "WOW!" in unison, you can be sure that it is something very special. To top off this amazing meal, we decided to try the bread pudding. It was another "WOW!" with both if us claiming it to be the best we've had in decades. We only have one complaint: we are now going to have a very difficult time trying any of the other restaurants in Berlin (which are getting great reviews) since we will want to go back to Forgotten 50 each time we visit! read more

Visited Forgotten 50 Distilling and the place is really neat and we anticipated a great lunch. Ordered specialty drinks which were tasty but pricey $ 15.00 for an expresso martini. Food was good the only disappointment was the supermarket chips that were served with the crabmeat avocado dip. Need to up those to warrant the 20.00 price . Would we go again ? Maybe read more

Great place to eat!! Food and drinks are always good! I especially like the French onion soup and shsito peppers

Well , I guess I'm going against the grain. My wife and I met a couple on the beach in OC. They lived in the Berlin area and told us about Forgotten 50 and how great their burgers were . Unfortunately , the burgers were good but far from being great . My wife got a salad that for a $17 salad you would think it would be a meal in itself, NOT . Or it would be enough to feed at least 2 or more people. There was 3 of us . We got 1 salad , 1 bowl of French onion soup and 3 burgers . The bill was over $80 not including the tip . Forgettable 50 is a good name cause it's very Forgettable. read more

Awesome food. Awesome atmosphere. Great venue for a social outing. Live music as well.
