Best Bar food in OC! Our favs are the prime rib sandwich, the wings, shrimp, and those burgers!! Friendly staff and fun atmosphere.

Great service and great food. The perfect spot for a Saturday afternoon of football watching. The chips are delicious and so were the goat wings. Can't wait to return. read more

Love it! Sweet little bar/restaurant at the beach! Great drinks, friendly people, and a touch tunes. It is right across from the Princess Royal. read more

Went here the night before my mom's wedding. Literally the best place in the area! All of there food was delicious, especially the shrimp. They also had really great cocktails that they called crushes. Would 100% go back if I'm the area. read more

What a great small dive type of a bar. The bartender we had on a Saturday night was quite friendly and poured some great drinks. Good prices too. You can order food until 1:30AM, which is a plus, considering Liquid Assets next door kitchen ends much earlier. Their cheese Kirby chips hits the spot after drinking. Will have to check out their old bay wings, steamed shrimp, and quesadilla next time I come back. It does get awfully crowded here as it's a small place. I'll be back here again! read more

Nice little out of the way place with really good food! The pub chips were super and the steamed shrimp with onions were yummy! Even just the onions with old bay alone were amazing! Staff was very pleasant and attentive! read more

I've only had their steamed shrimp here before, and it is really good. They don't shy away from using plenty of Old Bay, and I like that. The drinks are reasonably priced, unlike many places in Ocean City MD. I think it's time for another visit, and soon. read more

Love Kirby's Pub! Great food and reasonable prices. Have had their shrimp salad, burgers, and wings which are all good. I think anything you get here is probably great. Also love their homemade old bay chips. Service can be a little slow but that goes with the laid back atmosphere. They have things children can eat but no kids menu really that I saw and most of the tables are high tops. Definitely recommend this place, especially for adults. read more

My first experience at Kirby's was at 1:30am last weekend, a holiday weekend at the beach. We walked in after a few drinks and dancing at Dead Freddie's looking for some good seafood. We were blown away at how good their steam shrimp was. They were large and the price was right too. We also ordered the crab dip which was definitely above average (but not the best I've ever had). The place was pretty crowded but the service was great. I will definitely be making Kirby's an OCMD tradition. read more

I always like to go to places that feel more "local." The reviews on yelp were good enough to give it a shot! When my boyfriend and I arrived, we were quickly served by a female bartender. She was very friendly and got us two delicious orange crushes very quickly. Then we ordered our food, which included in order of wings, a softshell crab sandwich, and a burger. We received the wings in about 15 minutes. They were a little more spicy than I had anticipated, but the blue cheese and ranch dressing that was brought with it made it tolerable. I do not have a high spice tolerance! Medium is what we were going for and it was a little more than that!! The food took an hour to get to our table. I'm he meantime, we were served drinks. My boyfriend got a dream sickle crush for free because of the mixup at the bar. I got a couple of grapefruit crushes between the appetizer and the meal. Because of the slow wait time for the meal, but the bartender ended up comping us two drinks for our weight. When the food finally arrived, both of our meals were actually really good. It just stunk that the experience had to be so much longer than we had anticipated. It would've been nice if they had come to one of our meals instead of giving us free drinks. We figured out by the end of our visit that our original female bartender had ended her shift during our stay, therefore our meal may not have actually been put in when it supposedly had been. Because the food was good, I'm willing to be forgiving, but a wait for food that is that long is unusual. read more

Friday night Stacy and I went to Kirby's Pub in OC. Our check was $58.00. We laid a $100 bill on our "to go" box, along with our check, that was on the bar, directly in between us. Adam, one of two bartenders, took the $100 bill. We waited and finally asked him where our change was. He said he gave it to the guys behind us. What??!!! He told us to work it out with them. Luckily the guys behind us gave us $40 back without incident. Then they left. Stacy and I got ready to leave and Adam informs us that our tab still has not been paid. The other bartender, Stephen gets involved and insists our check is still not satisfied. They were so nasty to us. Threatened to call the police if we didn't pay. It was all so confusing. The place was packed and we decided to pay the tab again and deal with the owner in the morning. Yea...owner so far will not return our calls. So Stacy and I are out a $100 bill, gained $40 from the two guys and still owed a $58 check to Kirby's. 6 days later owner has still not contacted me. More details are on Kirby's Home Page within my Facebook post where I checked in. read more

Love this place! We walk to it from our condo and love the atmosphere. Cold beer and delicious food! 10/10 recommend!!

Girl at the bar was not very attentive and not friendly. The 2 young guys were much better. The food was good though.

I LOVE Kirby's. In a city full of tacky tourist traps, this divey little gem is always on my list of places to visit when I'm in OC. The bar is almost never over-crowded, the beer is cold with a few great local drafts always available, and the "GOAT" wings and shrimp are possibly some my favorite things to eat. Sometimes it takes a while to get your food, but I have found that a late lunch/early happy hour is the best time to hit this place up. **The staff here is some of the friendliest folks around, so tip your bartenders!!** read more

Bartender was on his phone from the moment we walked in, with a table of 8 you think he'd be attentive to us but no. He was unprofessional in every aspect. He was tall with tattoos. Poor people skills and poor hospitality skills. Overall terrible experience. Will not be back read more

The fact that I had to have a conversation with my wife about not drinking out of a glass but making sure we got a bottle basically says how horrible this place is. It smelled like someone had thrown up. The bar is dirty. The floors look like they've never been cleaned. No idea how they pass health inspections. Do not come here. It's awful. read more

Five star wings! I've.l been asking locals where are the best wings and the majority said Kirby's. I walked in and didn't expect the neighborhood bar feel but it's there. I ordered old bay wings and wow! They were crispy and not to hard flavorful and meaty. read more

Great jumbo shrimp and crab cakes. With a couple of beers our bill was about 35.00 Great friendly group in there. read more

Wow, I wish that the owner had decided to close this spot instead of the Red Onion, which was Kirby's sister location and had much better service and atmosphere. We stopped in here in early Dec to meet up w friends. The two male bartenders were only interested in talking to their friends and flirting w girls years younger than them. They openly complained behind the bar that one of our group (the designated driver) wasn't drinking anything but soda and was taking up a prime seat at the bar. Wow. They themselves were drinking, and one of them forgot to make another friend's order; she had to ask someone else after waiting 10 minutes for her drinks that never came. If they didn't like the songs you played and paid for on the Touch Tunes, they skipped them. When a friend complained, the guy whom seemed to be the main bartender threw a dollar down on the bar and said "here, here's your dollar back then." Absolutely ridiculous and disrespectful. We were a group of ten, all in our 30s and 40s, not giving any cause for such an attitude from the staff. I can tell you that we won't be back to this hole. I felt sorry for the bar back whom was working his butt off, he was the only guy in there earning his money that night. read more

Wow such a sad day. Came to OC for the first time this summer and came to one of our favorite bars. Four of us girls happy and ready to have a great time. This was 5 minutes ago and I have only reviewed 2 other restaurants in my entire life. But I just have to say I'm so disappointed. I've never had a bartender be more rude to me. We inquired about happy hour and he didn't want to tell us it was so odd! Finally we ordered 4 margaritas which came out BRIGHT YELLOW in color I mean BRIGHT yellow. I'm a bartender and I know how to make sour mix for a margarita. This man literally served us sour mix! With no tequila! Then when I brought the four drinks to the bar he didn't even give me the time of day he just goes "fine what do you want?" Excuse me? Is that customer service ? I don't think so. He must of been having a bad day all the old folk sitting at the bar top seemed to love him. I woulda tipped good being a fellow bartender but I guess he thought we looked cheap? Or we looked not like his usual crowd? My bad. I hope he was having a bad day. We just left didn't pay didn't drink the sour mix he served us, didn't get anything else he was so mean we felt so unwelcome like SO unwelcome. This hasn't actually happened to me ever. But this is what the worlds coming to I guess. Prob won't ever come back here even though we stay on 94th every year. There's so many other places I'll take all our business elsewhere from now on. Just sad. Hope that bartender has a better day. He was acting nice to everyone else so I can't think of an excuse for his nasty attitude and behavior. The busboy / food runner/ kitchen guy SUPER NICE friendly welcoming and overall just lovely. I bet this place would be busier if HE was the bartender and the current bartender as of 4:44pm on Tuesday August 25th should belong in BOH. Just saying. read more

Woohoo! As good as it gets! For a pub that all the locals appreciate. I believe Kirby's to be the best kept secret in Ocean City. But I found it! Walk in and you are instantly treated like family. In fact, there was a mixture of regulars that included the old and the young. They offer an extensive and eclectic mix of the freshest offerings in this area. The shrimp and seafood is phenomenal. And although Old Bay wings were not listed on the menu, they made me some of the best I ever had. $8.25 for 10, and only $0.35 on Tuesdays! And it's only $2 for 18 holes on the Golden Tee golf game! They also offer an array of everything else you would crave after a day at the beach, which is only a couple of blocks away. read more

Horrible service, didn't leave a tip because our waitress never came back. Bartender chased us and said, "thanks for your business, but don't come back." "We don't have to leave a tip for shitty service." "Then you don't have to be here." Nuff said. Clearly, from years of frequenting this place and having a shore house down here, Kirby's prides themselves on being a local's hang out. However, clearly from years of frequenting this place, and having a shore house down here, their bread and butter is the groups of people wandering from the local hotels for their nightly specials. Sup if Kirby's wants to run their business into the ground and pride themselves on serving the local summer workers free drinks, let their business dry up from their horrible service. read more

We came in a little after midnight. Bartender wasn't cordial. He served others that sat at the bar and ignored us because we were not ordering alcohol. We told him we just wanted to eat. We ordered chicken quesadilla and wings. The food was OK. We waited for over half an hour for our food. read more

Absolutely my favorite spot in OCMD! When I'm hanging out w friends and looking for good food, cold beer and bartenders who absolutely rock, this is THE place for us! Wings, steamed shrimp, French dip, nachos over housemade chips, on and on! Prices are more than fair, and lots of local "character" hanging on the walls. This place actually has a dive feel to it, but it's awesome, for real. My wife and our friends always have a fantastic time, great food and the service is spot on. NOTE: I feel strongly that this is the best hangout, but I do not feel like this is somewhere I'd bring my kids to, but that' just me. I've seen plenty of people with their kids in Kirby's, but it's more of a bar than anything else, and I wouldn't bring my kids into a bar. No judgement for those who do, it's just not a fit for me. read more

Absolutely best wings in OCMD!!! I asked every bartender where the the best wings were in OCMD and she instantly told us Kirbys. I went to the beach with a bunch of wing lovers (like big time wing eaters) and the all agreed best wings without a doubt!!! read more

Awesome place loved the Shrimp popper and ice cold beer. Husband enjoy it too. A stop before board walking. read more

Went here late night on a Tuesday. Was excited about the wings based on longtime reputation but was disappointed. As someone else described, this is a bar--a fairly tiny bar--that serves food. The kitchen stays open until 1:30 am every night so that's a plus. The house wings--with a "ghost sauce" that mixes hot sauce with garlic smell amazing. But they didn't taste as good as they smelled. The hot sauce was not flavorful, leaving the garlic to overwhelm. The proprietor could benefit from a visit to Kisling's in Baltimore's Canton neighborhood, where they know how to masterfully mix hot sauce with garlic. There also seemed to be a lot of regulars in this place, so the bartenders wasted their time chatting with these guests and left empty beer mugs sitting unattended. read more

Amazed at the ambiance. I feel like I'm in the TV show! I got the French dip and a thong. The thong fits like a banana hammock!! But only the pink thongs not the other colorz. BTW KIRBYS - who's the tall hot bartender? Wacky? Super nice!! He said "hey how ya doin" and I felt right home! One suggestion: have Wacky come to my bday party it's October 26th. Again, A+ French dips and Michelob Ultras (I forgot to say that 3 sentences ago). 6 STARS.... read more

Pretty great food. Ok drinks. Unusual to have a jukebox where you play music but they censor your selection and NOT pay when they pass your song. Make sure when you're ordering beer you order EXACTLY. Other than that kind of a Cheers vibe. read more

The only reason I would come here is because I loved their wings and would come once a week on tuesdays for 50 cent wings when I was a lifeguard and it was a place and day fir us to be. Even then I have felt the bartenders were straight rude and assholes. Every time I go their besides one time we're the bartenders nice. Always rude as hell and literally I feel like you have to try to be as rude as they were. Just went back after two years of my six summers there. And as soon as I walk in the bartender who i haven't seen before is on his phone as I was starring at him with one at her person at the bar for at least 3 min. He finally recognized me and didn't seem friendly at all. Was like what's up. I asked if he could do 10 wings with 2 flavors if it was a problem don't worry about it I'll just get the 1. He goes yea I can do that and charges me for 20 wings. I politely told him I'm sorry for the confusion it was just 10 total. He literally rolled his eyes at me and gave me the 16 dollar bill. I gave him a 20 and the guy just kept my change. I waited there for five min staring at him to let him know like hey dude my change? He finally got the hint and came back with attitude. At this point I think that's what they look for to hire. Straight miserable people. Who all have the same surfer look. A bunch of new school tattoos on arms and legs with a satche and a hat. And are straight dicks. Now I just go there to get carry out wings and usually throw the sass right back as soon as it's given. Straight duche bags. read more

Red onion grille was great but this place has no service... that's what made the other Kirby's great. Bartenders couldn't be worse... avoid read more

Okay little place. Not much in the way of ambiance. It's really more of a bar that serves food, and less of a restaurant. It's also located in a no-descript little shopping plaza. But, we brought our kids and they were fine. Fried green beans were great. Even got the kids to eat them by telling them they were eating fried worms. Potato skins were yummy. Limited beer selection. Okay for a quick bite, bar snack, beer, or whatever. read more

I had lunch here today and everything was great. Had the steak Caesar wrap which was probably one of the best wraps I've ever had. Meat was cooked perfectly, and pieces of homemade croutons in the wrap were awesome. My wife had the Kirby burger which she loved. Wings were great too. They also have great homemade potato chips that come with sandwiches. This is a great local bar with great bar food. The bartender/waitress Lisa was running the bar and tables, always with a smile on her face. She was great! read more

Smells like something has been dead in there for nearly 30 years....the bartender Matt? I believe is his name...very tall, light colored hair is extremely unpleasant. Being greeted with at least a hi how are you would have been nice....didn't bother speaking to us. Didn't bother thanking us for coming in...wanted no parts of a conversation. I asked him if we did something wrong and got snarky, rude responses from him. Then he proceeded to tell us to get the f*uck out. Wanted to leave a nice tip for them but he was extremely rude and said my money doesn't make or break his night so proceeded to leave no tip....and I'm in the industry. Won't be returning. read more

My Kirby's experience was fun went out with buddies to drink. Great deals only downfall was music selection was poor

If there was a negative rating they would get it from me! I can't believe still after almost 2 weeks I was spoken to the way I was by the bartender with the blonde hair in a bun. He was condescending when he made my drink wrong as I ordered a Captain and ginger with a lime and I politely asked if that was a Captain and coke, he got the biggest attitude in the world! Then we ordered food which took 16 minutes at 11:34 we expected to be almost done by Midnight when in fact we weren't done til after 12:15 and only because we rushed out with only one drink. I didn't even want to eat and asked for a to go container when he argued that if I wanted fast food McDonald's was down the street but if I wanted to leave before the food came out I would be paying for my full check. Glad the food came out right as I was about to get into it with the guy and request management assistance. I can not believe someone like that is in the service industry. Super disappointing because I feel like after not frequenting that establishment because I moved away for 8 years and now I'm back I will not go in there EVER again!!!! He needs to check his attitude at the door! And become a little more humble when u don't listen to what the customer has ordered. Plus he needs to read the law because technically I never ate the food I ordered so I could have left by paying for drinks only! Jerk. read more
