Wow. Now that's a good cheesesteak. Rolls were soft. Steak had good flavor. Ordered gravy fries, gravy was great. Fries were standard run of the mill frozen ones. Add fresh cut fries and they would be awesome. Will be back for sure. read more

Bartender was not courteous. Food was not good. We were less than impressed. The wings were overcooked and the steamed shrimp had no taste.

runs like a well oiled machine, consistent service, decent prices and great bar food it's my go to bar when we're in Fenwick Delaware

Cheesesteaks are soooo good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was packed on a Saturday in the off season so we got the last seats at the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was attentive and quick. Beer was cheap. Will be back! read more

Best cheese steak around. My husband loves it! The beer is cold, [[HIGHLIGHT]]games on all the time and people are down to earth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You will enjoy it-give it a try. Prices are reasonable too. read more

Outstanding experience! I'm always searching for really good, authentic cheesesteaks and High Stakes has the right Philly cheesesteak recipe! I got the cheesesteak with whiz and grilled onions and pepperoncini peppers. The bread roll was perfectly crunchy which augmented the quality of the cheesesteak. Beyond the great food, the service was top notch. We had zero wait time to order drinks, three servers were constantly checking in on our table, and the food came out quick. I had such a great experience that I rejoined Yelp so that I could write a review. I highly recommend this bar and grill especially if you're looking for a legit Philly cheesesteak. read more

Nice happy hour prices from 11-7. The beer was fresh and cold. The rolls for the cheesesteak were excellent. Told they were sent from Philadelphia. Wish the filling would have matched the rolls. Overcooked to the point of very dry. Cooper sharp was missing in action. They do offer lots of additions to the cheesesteak without any added cost. Good pour for the house wine. Crushes were average. Service was prompt. read more

I have been going to high stakes for many many years. I am a local and I had two cocktails. And this new guy wanted to cut me off and I wasn't sure exactly why especially because I did not drive but whatever I won't be going back there and I'm sorry to say that because I love that place read more

Went for the Birds game.Local and we like the cheesesteaks. 24 degrees outside and windy. Every table was seated and the crew was running around. One of the servers decided to open both front doors. Again 24 degrees outside. After atleast 30 minutes half the place has thier winter coats on. You could clearly see most customers were cold. I asked the individual behind the bar if I could close one door for a few minutes. Her(he?) responded " we are the one's running around not you!" If you have zero concern for any of your customers, then I can not respect you. Unlike many tables the 6 of us were eating and having drinks, not just taking up a table to watch the game. I've dealt with inconsiderate people most of my Life. I'm just at the point where I will never give any money to someone like that. 2 stars because I don't believe everyone that works there is a jack-ass. Just this one individual read more

Could barely get through one beer. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The smell of this bar is like puke[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] ‍ maybe the carry out food is good though

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was clean and bartender was nice enough, just not over the top.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Asked the bartender what kind of French fries they had. I asked him if they were Krinkle cut or anything different about them. He said no, just regular frozen fries. They were the disgusting fries that were coated in flour, potato starch and tapioca. Good thing I don't have a gluten problem! I ate 2 of the whole basket and mentioned to him they were not regular French fries when I asked for my check. And he still insisted well, they are still frozen fries with an attitude. If he would have stopped over to ask me how my food was after it was delivered, he would have found out and possibly rectified the issue. But never came back until I asked for the check. And then the other bartender comes out and stands right near me and made a comment for me to hear "top of the line fries here". Needless to say, up until then I would have came back as the sandwich I had was good, but too many nicer bartenders in the area. read more

The steak and chicken subs were absolutely amazing The meat was moist tasty along with a great sub Happy hour beer offerings were plentiful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere was very casual and very clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I'm an Eagles fan and was visiting Fenwick Island, and in need of a likeminded bar of birds fans. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Found a nice bar with really fun Eagles fans.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately there is a short stocky smart ass bar tender that killed it. Did not catch his name, as I was obviously ignored, he looked at me and didn't acknowledge me. Only after the other bartenders noticed the behavior of the portly bar tender, they came over. The woman sitting next to me warned me, that he blew them off, and was annoyed when they asked for a drink. The other bartenders were cool. Unfortunately for this bar they have an angry stumpy bartender who is the direct reason for my 3 star review, which would be 5 stars if he didn't have such a bad attitude. read more

10/10 would recommend! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not just for the happy hour prices, yummy bar fare, ample pours, and cozy seating, but also for the TOP NOTCH service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You'd never know that Kayla, Jess and Chris were busy covering both the bar and tables, because they were patient, highly attentive, informative (re: what to order), friendly, good-humored, and speedy! Highly recommend: Philly cheesesteak and wings. Both were HUGE portions; enough for two hungry adults to share...plus, leftovers! We are already planning a return visit next time on The Island. BONUS: they're OPEN during the Off Season! read more

Neighborhood establishment that will surprise you! Family-friendly, full service bar with good bar food. Cheesesteaks are the BEST at the beach....reasonable, almost cheap prices on full menu, great staff. A definite recommendation read more

My family has been going to High Stakes for many years. Last night I was appalled with our experience and really hesitate to go back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The main reason was that the place seemed filthy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]As soon as we walked in there was a smell in the whole place that I couldn't quite place but it smelled rancid.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I later discovered that it was the smell of vomit which I saw in the bathroom urinal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Not sure how long it had been there but it was disgusting nonetheless. Our order took nearly 45 minutes to arrive and when it did, some items were cold. There were flies landing all over the food. When we asked what was taking so long we were told they didn't have their summer help and the kitchen was backed up. That's understandable and could be looked over but the cleanliness and smell of the restaurant could not. Oh and I also saw a server bring another table a glass of wine with his thumb over the top of the glass where you drink. Gross. read more

I love this pub the drinks and food are always reasonably priced. Plus all the food that I have gotten there was very delicious. They have nice, cold appetizing draft beer all of the time. I have always been given outstanding customer service. read more

Love the Happy Hout here so we (4) stopped in for a couple of drinks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There wasn't room for 4 at the bar so we sat at a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our waiter (long gray pony tail guy) was extremely rude to us. Would not recommend sitting anywhere this persons service area. The other 2 servers were very nice. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool bar with lots of tvs for sports lovers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was good but I left wishing my cheese steak had more meat inside it. read more

Me and my boyfriend came here for a quick dinner. service was quick, efficient and very friendly. I ordered cheeseburger sliders and they were bigger than i expected and one of the best burgers I've had. very worth the $18. My boyfriend ordered a cheesesteak and says it was one of the best he's ever had. Crunchy roll, good melted cheese and good cooked steak. Very much will be coming back here when we come back here for vacation. read more

Glad to see High Stakes in full swing after closing temporarily a while back. Had the cheesesteak which was very good. Service was a little slow to start, but finished strong. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sat at the large u-shaped bar and watched Mecum car auction on one of the many TVs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is one of my "go tos." Enjoy! read more

Solid place for a good tasty cheesesteak and onion rings. The only helpful criticism that I would provide is if you order a cheesesteak with fried onions, order extra onions because the onions were hard to find, meaning the chef was very frugal with the onions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has lots of tv's and seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We had a good experience and look forward to eating there again. read more

Friendly staff made this place. It's a normal bar with normal bar food. Nothing too crazy. I can't say that I'd be back but always happy to try things out and glad I went to see this "Philly Bar"....they are the only bar in the area that cater to Philadelphia fans apparently. read more

I gives high stakes a 4.0/5 stars We love coming here in the afternoon for lunch during the busy holiday week. The bar and restaurant is busy but there are always. Plenty of tables to fit a family. The vibe is very casual but the staff is friendly and willing to make just about any cocktail or well drink you please. They offers tons of specials and particularly the happy hour deals from 11-7pm are of special importance between drinks and meals. I ordered the Buffalo chicken wrap and it was delicious. My family really likes their crushes (grapefruit, orange, etc) but you can't go wrong here with drinks. read more

Great cheesesteak carryout! Will definitely be going back again and again and again. Glad they're open in the off season

Best cheesesteak in an area that KNOWS what a real Philly cheesesteak is. (The famed Tony Luke's franchise has a great location but LAME sandwiches here. ) High Stakes is not on any list of "great" or "best" anything in Ocean City. Shame. I couldn't google it. I had to ask around to find it again. They didn't grease the right palms to make any of the "Best of..." lists... know what I mean? And nobody will see what I'm typing now because this place is soooo underground. But they really do have THE BEST cheesesteaks in Ocean City. Their location itself is a dive bar but your near the ocean so DIVE. This isn't a kitschy "dive bar" but an honest DIVE BAR. This is not a cute mockery but the real deal. An excellent place for the current generation of hipsters to realize nobody REALLY cares about their feelings. read more

Great place great food, show philly sports on TV, i go there at least once a month with buddies

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's definitely a loud sports bar[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] our server was very rude and rough around the edges. I would order take out from here as food was good and prices are OK. I would not return to dine. read more

I'm not sure why I never appreciated just how cheap the prices are here. The cheesesteak has such a generous portion of meat that on even an empty stomach, half of the cheesesteak is enough for a proper meal. You essentially end up with 2 meals for $9! To add to that, if you come during happy hour (11am - 7pm EVERYDAY), rail drinks are $3.25, which is already cheaper than their discounted pickle fries during that time! Our bill ended up being barely $15 per person with enough leftovers for lunch the next day. If that's not a deal, I don't know what is. Although this place is easily 5 stars in my book, I have to dock it one given the fact that despite COVID times, the bar was PACKED. Thankfully we found a seat in the way back away from the crowd, but it was still nerve-wracking... read more

I never thought I'd be saying High Stakes is now one of the only places in the area with a vegan option (besides a salad of course). They now have the Beyond Burger, just labeled as "vegan burger" on their menu. The problem is that it comes on a non-vegan brioche roll, and comes with cheese unless you specify otherwise. So the menu is deceiving. The beyond burger is an amazing alternative to beef, tastes so much like the real thing. I ordered mine with no cheese, on a sub roll (the shape means it has to be cut in half) I diced it up so it would fit better. This is a favorite place for all non-vegans because of their outstanding wings and cheese steaks!!! But it's so dang loud and always crowded with old people. read more

This is where you watch the Eagles beat the Cowboys ! $2.00 drafts and Mini cheesesteaks $6.00 and large $9.00. If you want Whiz and onions request a ,"Whiz it", and if you don't want Whiz, "Whiz Widout". LOL This is the neighborhood bar full of familiar faces and all wanting the Eagles to win.

Eight of us used to go here a lot until they wouldn't do separates checks they told me it was easy for me to do it because they didn't have tax you just add what you bought I thought that was their job so I won't go back until they do separate checks! read more

Stopped in here for a take-out cheesesteak the other night on my way home. The steak was excellent; the roll was hard on the outside, and nice and soft inside; the steak had tons of flavor, as did the onions. My only complaint is that I could barely taste the cheese. It needed more cheese or maybe cheez wiz instead... Scarfed the whole thing down on my way home. Yum! The take-out side is on the left. The rest is a nice bar with lots of TVs. Fun times in Fenwick! read more

Great local Philly bar with the best cheese steaks and burgers in North Fenwick. Actually it's not a contest. They have the best Philly Cheese steaks in Delmarva. Cheeseburger equally excellent though slightly past medium rare. Friendly staff. Take note. Their Happy Hour goes from 11:00am to 7:00pm. If you can't get here for Happy Hour, that's a YP. read more

Everyone ordered the Philly Cheesesteak.Great Philly cheesesteak but some regret not getting American cheese and [[HIGHLIGHT]]nice ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is great as well. read more

We had very good service and very good food at a reasonable price and the servers were excellent

Unfortunately, I'm sorry to have to report that this bar and grill has lost its way under new family ownership. They have raised their prices dramatically and what once was a local hang out for locals is no longer affordable to them and [[HIGHLIGHT]]it is very apparent immediately upon entering the establishment given the number of empty tables and bar stools the last two times we've visited.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I believe they have simply priced their way out of the market. I hope they soon recognize their mistake. Happy hour domestic beer should not cost $4.00 -Agree? Nor should a chicken wing cost $1.50 each. The happy hour food specials have been diminished with their new menu. There are only four. Who wants chicken salad sandwich as their happy hour special? Sorry read more
