    Bar food on the beach. Good if your looking to grab something and head back to the beach chairs but don't go out of your way to go.

    My favorite place to go all summer. Chill spot on the boardwalk, drinks are affordable and food is good. Try jerk chicken tacos

    Purple Grimmace all day long! It's a neat environment. Friendly pool bar where everyone seems to have a good time.

    Tonight we returned to one of our old regular stops when in OC. Last time we stopped in was…read moreprobably 2022, since that time much has changed, both with Whiskers (IYKYK) as well as us. 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. We were happy to return, pleased to find that good quality & taste was still there and its what we were used to after almost 15 years of frequenting here. We were happy to see Commanders game & flag displayed for this Sunday game with many fans inside boisterously enjoying the game playingon all the tvs. All day specials were going on today and Jay told us everything they were offering on the specially priced menu which was a nice extensive list of bar food and drinks, including $3 Yeungling.

    Great little pub. Staff was super friendly. The Wings were perfect and the beer was ice cold…read more Place was warm and inviting.

    Let me start off by saying, Gavin was an amazing server. If you're going to the turtle def ask for…read morehim. He was friendly, knowledge of the menu, and checked on us multiple times. Checking on their patrons has certainly gotten worse over the years, but Gavin was great! Now onto the food....I'm just going to say it, fried mozzarella planks.....go and order two or three plates of these. They are legit!!! All the other food was certainly worth going back for. Everyone loved it. There are video games upstairs, so my kids were very busy, which is a good thing when waiting for food haha. This place is an Ocean City landmark. If you haven't been, def go because they are having their 50 year anniversary this summer. Watch a game (there are many tvs inside), drink a green turtle special, and EAT SOME FRIED MOZZARELLA PLANKS!!!!

    This may be the original but I don't think they're even trying to impress anyone anymore…read more Shame on us for ordering quesadillas and tacos? No! Shame on them for putting them on the menu. It's like someone told them one day that tex-mex was popular but never told them what that meant. They had no salsa for the quesadillas and apparently they never have salsa. The tacos came with a bag of chips not tortillas. And the bag was still sealed. That's the presentation you're going for?? It's now a tourist destination and a haunt for locals. But it has fallen from its previous glory.

    We had such a great experience at Tailchasers. We both started with a grapefruit crush, and it was…read moreso good that I knew after the very first sip I'd be ordering a second one. 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.

    I enter an establishment at 4:30 on a weekday and it's empty, and smells like glade air freshener…read morespray. The people there did not seem to want to work. 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.
