Stopped into pickles during the off season for happy hour on a Tuesday. Their happy hour deals are pretty good but the menu is limited. I like this Pickles because it's close to the boardwalk and it's very spacious inside. There's an outdoor patio, tons of seating, pool and other games, and a stage for bands/live music. The bartender was attentive and the food came out hot. My boyfriend liked the shrimp and the serving of fries was massive. You only get 3 mozz sticks with your order but they're pretty large sticks. It's fun to visit in the off season for sure! read more

Staff was very rude and disrespectful. Never got inside because they were rude outside. Would not return again.

Service: We ended up at Pickles Pub for game day, and thankfully they had all the games showing across multiple screens, big and small. We were seated quickly, and our waiter was friendly and helpful in walking us through the menu options. Taste: The game day menu was impressive, with plenty of choices under $10. We ordered the fried pickles, wings with Old Bay sauce, and fries. Everything came out hot, well-seasoned, and delicious. The drinks were also great--we tried the Ravens Crush and an Old Fashioned, both made perfectly. Ambiance: The energy was lively and fun, just what you want for a game day spot. It's definitely a place where you can enjoy good food, good drinks, and great company. Overall Review: Pickles Pub delivers the full sports bar experience--affordable menu, fast service, and a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back for another game day. read more

Fun little dive bar in the middle of Ocean City. Some decent happy hour prices. Everyone seems to love the pickle shots... I did not partake. Their burgers were very good, The hangover Burger was delicious. It says they have house-made chips but they seem just like a bag of potato chips with old Bay poured on top... I would say go with the upgraded fries. The Hot BBQ wings were tasty, they are award-winning according to their menu. They were nice big wings with good flavor. Inside is a bar, tables, high tops, they have pool tables. Place is covered with stickers and signs fun things to look at. They do have a stage for music during the on season probably. Place wasn't too crowded but service was very slow. They were very friendly just slow. Probably a really fun place to hang out during the busy season. read more

Probably wouldn't return. 1) We ordered a mixed drink and a beer. I did not get Captain Morgan as requested but I was assured that's what I was served. 2) The pretzel appetizers were good. They came with 3 different dipping sauces which was a treat. 3) We ordered the fried shrimp basket and the chicken sandwich. The shrimp were raw and the chicken was tough and strangely crunchy. 4) We received a $5 credit on our bill for being served raw shrimp. Not the best customer service when you think that I may have left with a food borne illness. Perhaps comping the meal would have been a more prudent move. 5) Our server, the "Twerk King", was friendly and efficient. 6) Lastly, the bathroom was disgusting! Perhaps the toilets weren't working properly but there was only one usable toilet. read more

Hey friends! I was on the hunt for good restaurants open during off-season. The official OC Facebook page recommended Pickles Pub so I decided to try them out. Pickles Pub serves typical American-fare bar food. I was super excited to come to OC for some fresh seafood. So, I ordered the shrimp basket for takeout. I'm still thinking about those shrimp LOL. They were so good! Other than needing more seasoning, they were fresh and cooked to perfection. Fries were cooked perfectly as well. They also had a slight vinegar taste, which I enjoyed. I definitely will be back during peak-season for more fried shrimp and to check out their live events lol. Enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian read more

I was in town for a frisbee tournament and had come to Pickles Pub on Friday. Great space, friendly service. Nothing to write home about but nothing to dislike either. Staff were really accommodating for the large crowd the frisbee tournament brought in and there was a small fun space for dancing. read more

Pickles Pub is located in the Midway Shopping Center on Philadelphia Ave. They are open every day from 11:30AM - 2AM. I was looking for a place to go to watch football and grab some good bar food. Several people recommended this place and I'm glad they did. The food and service were both outstanding. I ordered the award winning pub wings with wing dust and boardwalk fries. The wings were some of the best I've ever had. The wings were a good size, perfectly cooked, and the wing dust (made with old bay and brown sugar) had a great flavor. MacKenzie and the rest of the staff made my first experience a memorable one. MacKenzie was personable, had great energy, and made some great menu recommendations. Pickles has indoor and outdoor seating. Pickup is available, but there is no delivery.

Megan (Mo) was the best bartender I've ever had! She may not have smiled as much as I prefer, but man I'll tell you she makes a mean drink and is very attentive to her customers. Overall all of the pickles staff is so welcoming and the food was off the chain. Basic American bar food but they know what they're doing. I'd come back again and again and again and their specials are fire! Definitely stop by the pickles pub and if Megan (Mo) is working you're in for the best time of your life!! read more

My husband went there to get food for us and bring it back to our condo. He got us the pretzel trio and a pound of Baltimore wings. The pretzel trio was soooo good, the pretzels were perfectly cooked and the crab dip it comes with was on point and so delicious!! The blue cheese dip was a little too much for me but if you love blue cheese you will love it. The wings were perfectly cooked and so flavorful to the point where I wished I had more but didn't want to walk back for them at 11:30 pm. read more

Ordered a miller light and they gave me a water! JOKE $18 vodka soda that was poured very lite. Medium burger that was cooked as if I asked for a hockey puck. I won't be back, service was also awful. read more

I've never been here, but drove past it so many times. After listening to a podcast of a bartender that worked there years ago, we decided to finally check it out. Fun atmosphere, pub food, and some beers. The steamed shrimp were better than most places we used to go to. PB&J wings tasted great and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich on a waffle was quite good. Easy parking and a place we'd return to. Probably not every year, but on nights we want just pub-like food, we'd be back. Maybe even just for an early drink and the steamed shrimp. My wife's family gets steamed shrimp everywhere they go and most places are disappointing now. Pickles pub does it all right. read more

The atmosphere was great! There was bar seating, booths, and tables! Great for casual drinking and eating. There were fun games that my group really enjoyed !! The bartenders were nice and it didn't take long to be served! The bouncer was also friendly!!! Pickle shotsssssss read more

The beers are on point. Bartenders were cool. Had a catfish po boy with potato salad and was very impressed. Was expecting plain bar food not a real meal. Prices were good. Plenty of pool and others. DJ was spinning some good reggae. Good atmosphere and plenty of ladies to chat with. And it's only a Tuesday night!? WHAT!? This place is on point, awesome, and an Ocean City MUST! read more

If I could rate this a 0, I would. Unfortunately the staff is BEYOND rude to their customers from the bouncer at the door, the bartender and the host who didn't seat us. Save yourself the trip and find somewhere else to watch the games. read more

Omg, all the times I've been to OC I can't believe I had never been here. We came here on St Patty's weekend 2024. It was crowded but so much fun. Amazing DJ, great and reasonably priced drinks, great service. Clean bathrooms and just an overall nice vibe. And they didn't charge a cover! read more

We have been regulars at Pickles for years. Stopped for dinner this week and the whole experience was ruined by the rude guy who demanded ID when we walked in (that's a first, we are not 2O year olds who are trying to drink your overpriced swill). The place was empty, Service was awful. Employees were drinking shots behind the bar. It's a big place and there may have been 6 people at the bar, yet the employees acted like we were breaking up their private party to pour us a beer. We used to love this place for their bar food and since it's a short walk from our house. Rude and inhospitable will get you closed down eventually. read more

Not very good. The server was nice and did an okay job. The food was not so good: Cheeseburger 4 out of 5 Fries 2 out of 5 - just ehhh Wings 1 out of 5 - nuclear sauce was good but wings were not cooked well. I asked for extra crispy and the were chewy Fried pickles 2.5 out of 5 - 1/2 were crispy and the other 1/2 were soggy Fried Mozzarella 3 out of 5 Quesadilla with chicken 1 out of 5 - my daughter order it with just cheese and chicken and it came out with peppers and onions. She ate 1/2 of it and isn't feeling well. I'd say this place is good for people in their 20s looking to party and not eat. read more

Had been regulars at Pickles but that changed today. Stopped by for a late dinner, 8:45 pm. We were carded at the door. For context we are 50 plus years of age. Anyone with any sense knows that. Have been to Pickles dozens of times and have NEVER been carded to enter. Asshat at door was obnoxious when I assumed he was kidding. Skank partner said "keep walking". Sweetheart, not only are we walking, we are telling everyone what a craphole Pickles has become. Guess with owners living in Florida they have idiots running the place. SAD. By the way, the place was empty read more

If I could leave a negative review I would!!! ABSOLUTELY DIGUSTING was the food.....the wife got a salad and the lettuce was all wilted and nasty......the fried pickles.....GOT GREASE?? And the tacos were way less than desirable......I wouldn't even feed that food to my dog....im not a picky eater, this was bad.....STAY AWAY! read more

Had a great time here the other night. Stopped in late w my sister and some friends, and had some beers and shot some pool. I used to come here years ago when it was a hole in the wall. They have long since revamped the place, but it still has that local-loved worn-in flavor. People were dancing, drinking, playing pool and other bar games like trivia and hoops. It was a great time, a fun vibe and I will def be back. read more

Man!! We went there last night. It wasn't full but the staff was busy as hell. They were on voluntary work time. We got steak and cheese subs and tater tots. Everything was great. The staff was on the money. We couldn't believe how fast our beers got there. Our waitress was running all over the place. But somehow she kept up and didn't miss a thing. Now for the ambiance, we loved everything about the place. We will be back. read more

Not many dining options during the off season, but we were super happy that Pickles was open. They have walk up bar service right now which was fine, we did sit at the bar which was great because it's a rarity for us. Our food order came out quickly and everything was delicious. We got the crabby pretzel, philly cheese steak egg rolls and Buffalo shrimp tacos. And while at pickles you have to do a "pickle" shot. They are sooooo good! But too many will make you not remember things! So be careful. The liquor store next door sells bottles of pickle shots. Yum! read more

This review is for the off-season because this is the only time we come. During the off-season it becomes a happy locals place and that's a good thing because you get really accurate reviews from people you know and it has encouraged us to go to pickles three times since September. A particular visit of note was when four couples got together In October for lunch and we all had a great time. Our service was good and so was the food and the prices were right. Bryan was our great server. I was five days away from having back surgery and still visibly disabled. He saw this and made sure that I had very comfortable seating. He went above and beyond. What a nice guy!!! On this occasion I had the Pub burger with Potato salad and pickle. YUM! We all shared a Chicken nachos platter that was huge and a very enjoyable Pretzel platter. My SO had the Steak n bake of which he raved. The 8 of us will return. read more

A true mish mosh of clientele during the off season. The idea was born from curiosity and boredom. The area is spacious, accommodating, slightly grungy(men's room more so), & the pool and arcade games can keep you occupied. The menu offers a variety of easy to make and consume choices, and slightly surprising alternatives. Jalapeño poppers, and sliders, which are large portions, are a decent value and mostly tasty. It's all in what you want, or whatever. Come and enjoy PP in the OCMD. read more

So, I would rave about the bar food but that would not do justice to food that is first rate. This is a bar with a real kitchen and, I imagine, a very experienced cook. The wings are in the top 3 for this town. The brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly and you can customize the sauce. The fried shrimp were huge and super crispy. And the boardwalk French fries beat out the wildly popular Thrashers-they are a destination item unto themselves-wow. Service was the best, as Brock was constantly attentive and helpful without being intrusive. Don't let the sad looking place keep you from coming. If they ever fix their torn seat covers and their banged up wooden chairs, this place could move to a 5 star... read more
