“ Staff were very friendly, I got ribs and they were fall of the bone and weren’t even listed as such. It was a nice surprise! The food there was so good I’m surprised they don’t charge more for it. Good prices. Bathrooms are clean, and fit the look of the establishment. I felt more like a guest than a customer. Music fits the vibe too. Overall favorite food joint in Ocean City ML. Will come again next year. ”
“ We just happened to be walking by when the aroma from the pub was so profound. We decided to look at the menu they had in the front of the building. My husband ordered the brisket with mac and cheese and cornbread. I ordered the meatloaf dinner with mashed potatoes, ceaser salad, and cornbread . Both meals were half off due to a special they were having .my husband enjoyed his brisket. I was not a fan of the meatloaf. Tasted like half beef half turkey. My overall impression was very good, but I believe I just ordered the wrong meal . The corn bread is more of a sugar bread, which is a major turn-off for a BBQ restaurant . ”
“ Very authentic barbecue restaurant! We had the beef sandwich, buffalo chicken sandwich, a cheesesteak, BBQ pulled pork, and a fish and chips. We had fries, chips, mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes as sides. The food was a definite 5/5 and the server was nice and patient. There were people smoking and cussing in the building, so that was a negative. There were also some sports games on and the place was decorated in a cozy way. Great place! ”
“ Just wanted to say me and my husbands server was really amazing. She went above and beyond and was super sweet she was kind, quick and efficient. I think she may have been in training so I didn’t see her name on the receipt but I wanted management to know she was awesome! ”
“ Great customer service. Flavorful BBQ, Brisket, Baked Beans, Coleslaw, Collard Greens, Corn & Cornbread. Fresh made tea & good bar drinks. A plus to visit. ”
“ Some of the best food/bbq ive ever had.Everything we had was perfect.Wings were great,ribs,crabcake,bbq chicken,even the corn was amazing.thanks for the food and experience.5 star all the way. We returned this past week on spring break. It is my all time favorite bbq. All of the food is always great but you guys mastered RIBS. I am a rib guy and these are the best and i have tried many up and down the east coast. ”
“ Saw advertisements on the boardwalk so I said let’s give it a try. Walked in warm greeting and got sat down right away. Nice little cozy place. I sat downstairs but they have open upstairs seating as well. Started off with the bbq wings. Very good not to saucy. Then I went for the brisket platter with macaroni & cheese with sweet potato fries. Brisket was perfect. Macaroni & cheese very good and creamy. The sweet Potato fries were a little dry and didn’t really have a taste. Other than that the have a full bar with tvs for sports as well. Definitely would go again. ”
“ Went last night to this place and it was so delicious! Also has the BEST booth seats I've ever sat in. They were wood but they were spacious and comfortable. For an appetizer me and my family got the crab dip and soft pretzels. The pretzels were so so delicious, they were seasoned and crispy but also soft. The crab dip wasn't anything special but with the pretzels it's a 100! The waiter was such a nice lady and we even had a few laughs I definitely recommend this place! You also get to pick where you want to sit, and the waiter will follow behind with the menus. ”
