    Some banging wings! BLT was loaded with bacon!
    Jana L.

    I liked it it's divey and definitely geared towards adults but if you are looking for a casual hang and some crispy, saucy wings - it's right up your alley. I would def go back - nothing fancy but some sports on the TV, wings and a cold beer to break up the summer heat (or get out of the rain in our case) - it's a win!

    A go to in OC with great staff and welcoming clientele that is not 'clicky' like some other year round places. Very good food and I love their steamed shrimp. Prices are fair with a great atmosphere to catch a game or just getting out of the het and grabbing a drink.

    Hands down my favorite shrimp! I also love how the bartenders steam them right behind the bar. Best pub atmosphere!

    Love the steamed shrimp. Served with onions if you like. Wings are good too. Bars food menu. Bartenders are super friendly and helpful. Long bar that fills up quick. Tables do as well. Locals and everyone visiting love it.

    Right off the bat, this is dive bar atmosphere. We went in there expecting very little, food wise. We were pleasantly surprised. The place is small and on busy days can feel cramped. It's worth it. All 4 of us have nothing but positive things to say about the food. The roast beef club was HUGE. The beef was tasty and plentiful. The chicken tenders Nere phenomenal with great seasoning and cooked perfectly. The French Dop was amazing. Two diners who eat French Dip regularly said i was the best they had and surpassed the place they get it at home. The French fries? Wow. A basket of fries was enough to feed the whole table and the seasoning was amazing. Now let's talk about their chips. When you see homemade chips on a menu you know it's usually a vanity, cheap filler. This is NOT THE CASE here. The Kirby chips are CRAZY good. One diner who.will not eat chips tried one and said even though he's not a chip eater these had an amazing taste. We had sodas, 2 mixed drinks and a draft. Beer was ICE cold. Mixed drinks were perfect. Definitely not watered down. The atmosphere is dive bar. Not my scene and almost walked out. The music and people are loud. The space is limited. But the FOOD is amazing. I didn't expect much and now l'm embarrassed by that judgemental thought. It's so good we added their menu to our realtors' menu book in our rental. Will we be back? ABSOLUTELY and probably this week. We like to try different places but this place deserves a second visit.

    This place is awesome good hamburger, best steamed shrimp and wings. Will go back again to try other food. The vibe here is great and loud. Only negative gets crowded after 6.

    Is this allowed in Maryland?

    The bartenders made me promise not to post this pic. I lied. Awesome shrimp as last time. Burger well done not medium rare as ordered. But still tasty. Nice bourbon crush. And if you ask for a Bud Light, they will bring you one!

    Definitely a good local spot. I stopped in with a few coworkers while we were there for a conference. We grabbed a high top table for six and were taken care of by the bartender. The food was all good but the entrees came out way before some of the appetizers. Not sure why a salad came out over five minutes after the entrée even though it was supposed to come first. At that point I didn't even want it. The bartender was super busy and we had to get up and go to the bar to obtain extra silverware and some drink refills. I still highly recommend the food and beverages.

We especially enjoyed the perfectly seared scallops, rich and flavorful oysters Rockefeller, and a well-prepared steak that was cooked exactly as ordered. The cocktail program was equally impressive, both the martini and Old Fashioned were expertly crafted. As a bourbon and whiskey enthusiast, I particularly appreciated the extensive selection available here. It was nice to find quality whiskey options beyond the sweet, fruity summer cocktails that dominate many Ocean City menus. The service was attentive, the atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, and the overall experience was excellent. Definitely a place we'll return to on future trips.

Perfectly refreshing, bright, and exactly what you want on a beach‑town evening. We shared the pretzel with crab cheese dip, and that was phenomenal -- warm, soft, and paired with a rich, flavorful crab dip that tasted fresh and indulgent without being heavy. For my meal, the crab cake was very good, full of flavor and nicely done. My Caesar salad was crisp and well‑dressed, and the fresh‑cut fries were perfect -- exactly what you'd hope for from classic boardwalk‑style fries, just served in a restaurant setting. Hot, salty, and addictive. Between the drinks, the food, and the relaxed coastal vibe, Tailchasers absolutely delivered for us. We'll definitely be back.

Everyone was standing around just gossiping. We sat at the table inside and waited about 15 mins to get a server. I realize this is pretty normal here in OCMD, but there were a lot of people standing around and a handful of people eating. The server was a nice guy. He wasn't one of the folks standing around. We were hopeful. Drinks were watered down. They were supposed to be frozen. We ordered brisket Putíne. Absolutely flavorless. Had to add salt and pepper to make it edible. Even my teens didn't like it. I personally had the shrimp tacos. They fell apart, and were inconsistent in prep. One had 2 shrimps, the other had 4. One had sauce, the other did not. The taco was falling apart after the 3rd bite. Very unpleasant to eat. The oysters we ordered had tons of shell pieces in it. Again, down to the preparation. My husband had the lobster roll. It was actually good, but the portions of lobster were a joke. We went to the crab factory down the road a week ago and the value, bread and amount of lobster was a better value with equal taste. Overall, this seems like a tourist location and very hit or miss. Our experience was definitely miss for the price.

I'll give the restaurant a 4 star review for the sauces and food combinations. The fish and pork chops were an excellent choice for my guests. Unfortunately I ordered the flank steak, medium rare. I didn't send it back which would have ruined the mood of the dinner, but the pork chop took 25 minutes to prepare. The flank steak came out luke warm and was not at all tender. It would have been better medium or medium well as it was a bit rubbery. The server should have warned me when she indicated to my guest that she preferred the pork chop. She was a bit abrupt and talked too fast. The Parker house rolls were a bit dry, not warm and tough. I'm from Baltimore and Parker house rolls are should be warm, soft with a lovely aroma and melt in your mouth. The honey butter helped but not enough. We ordered the strawberry short cake for dessert. The presentation was lovely and the strawberries fresh and sweet, but the short cake was dry.

SO, we decided we had the time, we were hungry & nearby, so we made our way to what is now called Whiskers Saloon. We were greeted warmly by Jay who was manning both the bar and customers at tables. We took some time to peruse the 2 page menu looking for both old favorites and what's new. I decided to try one of my usual sandwiches, The Rachel for comparison sake & added Sweet potato fries (additional upgrade). I asked & was happy the special spicy sauce I loved to combine with the fries was still available under a different name, Texas sauce. I will say, my sandwich was much better than in "the old days" because this was made with actual carved turkey thick slices as opposed to thin cold cut turkey from prior ownership. I was a happy camper! My hubby tried something new to him at Whiskers, he had a chicken cheesesteak sub and was pleasantly surprised and impressed to find it was not finely chopped up chicken, but cut up grilled chicken chunks with nicely sautéed onions.
