OCEAN CITY, MD: Bad Monkey is officially your all‑day, dog friendly hangout. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks -- they got it covered. We hit their West OC bayfront deck (leashed and friendly dogs welcome!) and loved the American‑style menu, full bar, and 2‑for‑1 happy hour drinks. Brayden took great care of us -- we will definitely be back on our next trip. read more

We showed up around 10am for a late breakfast and the place was cute. Every table gets complimentary monkey bread to start and unfortunately ours was so stale and hard we could barely bite into it. I ordered the Hungry Monkey ($19.95). It comes with 2 eggs, homemade white toast, breakfast potatoes, 2 pancakes, and a meat option we skipped since we're vegetarian. The pancakes were unmemorable and somehow even the syrup was bland. There were so many potatoes and I was excited when I saw the portion, but they all came out cold, shriveled, and slightly burnt at the same time, which was a bummer. One thing to know if you have any food allergies: the potatoes come mixed with peppers and onions and it's not on the menu. We asked if we could get them without and were told no. Just something to keep in mind. read more

I've been here a few different times. Once or twice for breakfast and a few times for drinks. Their happy hour prices are perfect-o, the service is friendly, and they don't leave you hanging while the bartender chats up other customers. The breakfast food is delicious (I usually go for the French Toast). They have this thing called monkey bread which is kind of like a sweet connamon twist. Chewy and delicious, which they serve automatically as a side with breakfast, and also sell separately to go. The sit-down service in the restaurant is also friendly and quick, and the Bloody Marys are great. The only downside is that the inside is a little small, which is OK by me. They have outdoor seating as well, which is great during the warm summer months. Warning: during the summer, the place is packed. We're in a beach resort town. read more

We've been coming here for years but usually breakfast- not sure I'd do the dinner again. Thought the burger with their made in restaurant bread would be special but it wasn't all that much. The margarita was just ok but the vibe is always lovely and the service was five stars. read more

We were in ocean city maryland for the memorial day weekend and was told bad monkey was a great spot for dinner. It was great. We had the fried banana peppers appetizer which was delocious. My husband and I both had burgers. Cooked perfectly. The food cqme quickly and was on point. If we're ever in the area we would def go back read more

I went to this restaurant with my family and it was absolutely amazing!! The service was wonderful and we enjoyed the food. I had the buffalo chicken dip appetizer for my dinner and it was amazing. The environment is super cute and I love the glasses you get beverages in. Loved the dirty sodas also. The merch store is awesome too. Definitely will be going back when we go on vacation next year. Great stop!! read more

OMG! This was the first time going to Bad Monkey. It was AWESOME! The food was fantastic, the atmosphere and view is great, the service fast and friendly and the monkey bread, is to die for! We are making this a definite stop every vacation and maybe for more than one meal! read more

It seems like people go bananas for bad monkey, it was packed when we got there around 9amish for 3- had a little bit of a wait, maybe 5-10 minutes. They have no the indoor and outdoor seating, we opted for indoor because it was a bit windy outside. Our server was Drew, who was great! He had recommended the breakfast tacos but I couldn't give up ordering a Crabcake so I ordered the Sunny Side of the Bay and my dad got the Westside omelet. The chorizo and potatoes on my entree were great! Huge portions- we couldn't finish it but it was tasty. The homemade toast wasn't all that though. We always love the monkey bread! The coffee my mom ordered was a bit watery, unfortunately. We went to Starbucks after to get coffee. Otherwise, would definitely return, and maybe next time I'll try out the highly recommended breakfast tacos! read more

Service was slow but wings were good, steak and cheese was not good and that's one of their stars of the show. The steak had no flavor.

Reminds me of a slightly posh place with a laid back vibe back home in PA. Not really any seafood to order per se like most places in Ocean City so if that is what you are looking for, move on. Had some good options for those who are trying to eat better than McDs or other fastfood joints. Standard type food items on menu, nothing special to write home about though. Service was a bit slow even with the venue not being busy, kinda frustrating when you are thirsty. Would recommend to order at least a water and a standard drink at least then order alcohol if you like. read more

Our first visit here was so good we had to come back again! Lucked out and stopped during happy hour and got 2-for-1 drinks. My burger was perfectly cooked and the truffle fries were delicious. The kids menu is somewhat limited to a few staples, but their kids grilled cheese on sourdough is amazing. Service was 100%. Bar area is nice and the outdoor seating is small but scenic. read more

I will say that the food was very good ...... but couldn't get what I actually wanted. They were out of the Maryland crab dip for the truffle fries and burger I wanted. My backup was the salmon sandwich and it did not disappoint it was very good with a large portion for the price. The Staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable even while training. The outside portion was dog friendly and even offered water. It was pretty peaceful and not crowded at all. read more

We wish we could have enjoyed the atmosphere at Bad Monkey, but we dropped in at noon on a Monday and they were only serving breakfast! We wanted lunch! Bummer. read more

We waited forever, not a big deal. about an hour wait for breakfast. The food was disappointing. Small portions and this giant piece of bread on the plate to make it look like the plate is full. Expensive too for no real reason. It i wanted to pay $100 for bread id go back. Coffee was good read more

We went in for lunch and had another great experience. Food was great and quick. Sports themed atmosphere. Prices are a little high but it's worth it with the views and high quality/portion food. Server, Macy, did a nice job making sure our needs were met. read more

Burger was juicy & perfectly cooked but The chicken was overcooked. Daily Bread was delicious. Wish the Parmesan truffle fries were thicker like Thrasher's. Hot sauce was preservative free. Wish they had corn-syrup free ketchup. read more

Always so good .. their menu is fantastic offering something for everyone. The service is usually good. I love the open feels with inside and outside seating. The only drawback is you never know when it switches from breakfast to lunch so you have to call and even then it's not always a certainty. read more

Sorry Bad Monkey, but consistency is lacking with your Burgers. After going to the Coastal Highway location a few months ago, ordered my favorite burger, Whiskey Rebellion, and was very disappointed, and excused because I thought it was the location that was the issue. BUT, We returned last night to West OC to have that delicious burger which is pictured in my original review. Unfortunately, it's not just a different location that's the issue, it's the lack of consistency with ingredients and quality. I think you lost us as customers and personal recommendations to friends visiting town. I am giving 3 stars, should be less, but there are 2 saves for this review, the Chicken cheesesteak sub was still tasty, HOWEVER, much smaller than it was before; AND Service was top notch with Harmony as our waitress, very pleasant, offered refills without having to ask and great bubbly personality. Anyone looking to try a burger here, go elsewhere and compare my photos between last night and my original post. As far as atmosphere, there were 2 very loud individuals at 2 different areas on opposite sides of the room that made having conversations at our table very difficult because of their overly boisterous levels. Because it's an open vaulted ceiling there's little to help reducing volume levels around the room and it wasn't a busy evening in there for a Saturday night during what I'd consider peak dinner time either. Expect a loud experience. read more

Went here during lunch hours were sat at a nice table indoors overlooking the area. They had the windows open so it was beautiful. We've been here before and the food has been good. We wanted stuff from their amazing sweet breakfast menu, and for some reason thought they did breakfast all day. Sadly they don't, but our waitress recommended the waffles (the only all day breakfast item). We were disappointed at first, but omg they were the best waffles! They had little crunchy bits of syrup imbedded in them and were served with fresh fruit. I had cold brew coffee with it and the whole meal was delicious (and very, very sweet!). read more

Bad monkey has great positive atmosphere. We sat at the bar for breakfast. Our bartender I wish I caught her name,she was excellent. However, the food was not what I expected at all. Again cool place great service bad food. Bad monkey. read more

Passing through the area looking for a Sunday dinner. This was our choice. My wife and I split a plate of shrimp tacos and honey sriracha wings. It wound up being the perfect amount of food and the perfect blend of flavors. We loved both dishes. The wings were just spicy enough and not overwhelming. You're paying a little bit of tourist prices, but the location is real nice, the view from an outside table can't be beat, and the atmosphere is family friendly. read more

Overall good experience at Bad Monkey. We came in and happily enough it was happy hour, drinks were good but not too strong (in alcohol). Food was good, nothing amazing but it really hit the spot. Service was good even though it was quite busy. There was a small wait but they worked on moving tables as well as they could. We sat by the window which was great for the view! read more

Food is delicious. Service is fantastic! Ambiance of the place is family friendly. I would highly recommend.

This was the perfect way to end our Ocean City trip before we got on the road. Delicious breakfast to start the day made me a little less sad. We started with the cinnamon bread. oh damn, right there, I was hooked. Sweet, soft, little crunch on the dge. YUM I started with a Bloody Mary and it was delicious. lots of good flavor without being too boozy. Breakfast for me was the Bad Monkey special. Nothing too original- but done very well. I loved the sourdough bread. Husband got some sort of burrito that I can't find on the menu, but he loved it. Parents were also very happy with their breakfast. Service was great, location can't be beat, and it was a good price. This will be a staple for our OC trips going forward! read more

First time here. I only drink draft beer when going out and all they had were craft beers. Beer was cold. The hell burger was really good. I did add more hot sauce to it though. The onion rings and fries were very good. The chicken tenders were pretty good as well. It is a bit pricey though. read more

Typically I would give 5 stars as I have loved Bad Monkey's food and their service has been on point. Today, our waitress was struggling. I ordered a sandwich with truffle fries. Food comes out with regular fries. When the waitress comes by to check on things, I asked if these were the truffle fries. She says no, and will be right back. I'm thinking she will return with a new plate of truffle fries. Nope, she literally gives me 2 condiment cups, 1 with truffle oil and 1 with grated cheese. ‍‍‍ TO MAKE MY OWN! Big disappointment because by now, my fries are cold and if I pour the oil on top of the fries it's going to go all over my plate and my sandwich will become soggy. read more

We had a friend recommend bad monkey so we came for breakfast. It was a Saturday morning and the wait time was about 40 minutes for 2 people. There's no reservations, so you walk in and get placed on the waitlist until you receive a text that the table is ready. We started off with some orange juice and hot coffee. We ordered the Nutella French toast, cold brew crepes and a side of the breakfast potatoes. Everything was delicious! Especially the potatoes. They were seasoned so well and came out warm and fresh. The crepes had a Nutella and cream cheese filling with fresh fruit as well, very yummy. We had several staff checking in on us often and were very friendly. It was a great local breakfast spot! read more

Very crowded but good vibe. Employee's are nice and efficient. Went with my wife. We both got burgers and wife got onion rings and I got fries. The only problem was one of my fries had a long curly hair around one of my fries. Lucky noticed it immediately and I didn't eat. They offered to replace but I was not in the mood so they deducted from the bill. The burger was plenty. read more

Good food and customer service. Would return. Enjoyed the burgers and orange crush. Clean bathrooms.

I got the Greek salad with grilled shrimp, so yummy! We went during happy hour and I 100% recommend going then. BOGO drinks, so worth it! Our waitress was great! read more

Bad Monkey is a fun, cool, hip restaurant with delicious food. Sat upstairs at the bar. Our service by the very busy bartender was A+. She never missed a beat. Monkey bread was hot and delicious. My bananas foster crepe was amazing! Loved the fresh fruit accompaniment. Side of home fries were a little heavy on the old bay but very good nonetheless. Fresh Pineapple Mimosa...yes please! My friend really liked the Single Guy omelette. Packed full of steak, peppers and onions. We even hit the gift shop downstairs to add another Bad Monkey tank top to my collection. 5+ stars! read more

We love this restaurant. It's fun, it's delicious, and my youngest gets totally excited to come here. Since he runs on a diet of pbj, cereal, cantaloupe, and assorted beige things-we're excited that he's excited to go to a restaurant. There's a unique theme, a fun atmosphere, a gift shop-we look forward to coming back every year. read more

Worst service and bizarre policy of first seating our party of 4 (including a 90 year old) then refusing to serve us or even take our order because they apparently don't take any orders or feed anybody between noon and one pm. Rude, huge waste of time and absurd customer service policy. read more

Bad Monkey in West OC is a fantastic place to stop in for breakfast or lunch! Their portions are over-the-top, and you'll leave extremely satisfied and full! Bad Monkey features their incredible monkey bread with every meal for the table to share, tons of breakfast / lunch options and PLENTY of drinks to choose from! If you enjoy craft beer / something non-traditional, they have great sections for that too! There's also a shop downstairs where you can purchase Bad Monkey clothing! The restaurant is very clean and the service is very quick with friendly staff! The photo attached features their fried Mac & cheese burger (a must try!), but we warned...Plan on doing nothing afterwards. You'll want a nap! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! read more

Visited 10/21 for lunch. All draft beers are craft beers , no draft Miller Lite etc. Went with domestic cans. $4.50 per can until H/H them 2 for 1. Ordered wings and emphasized well done x3. Told waitress not done enough and the cook Deangelo came out. Said he put them in for 10 minutes and I suggested 13 minutes. He nailed it ,crispy and very enjoyable !! Girlfriend's crab cake was a 2 , no flavor what's so ever ! Rolls being used are way too big. My "Randolph" cheesesteak sub was mostly "filler" a lot of lettuce , tomato and cheese. Fried onions were good but there was very little steak. What little steak that was there was placed directly on top almost like a garnish. Again roll was too big . For $17 not worth it ! Always looking for a dog friendly restaurant but we won't be back !! read more
