We reached Ocean City in the evening and were looking for a casual spot right by the beach to hang out and catch the sunset. This place was perfect! We ordered the Margherita pizza and the Brother Pasta (everything but chicken) -- both were tasty. I also ordered Long Island Iced Tea. service was quick, and the beach view made it even better. They also had a photographer going around taking family photos, and they gave us a free postcard print, with the option to buy more. Overall, a great place to relax, eat, and enjoy the view! read more

I came in shortly before 4:00 PM. I hadn't eaten anything all day yet so I was very hungry. On the menu it didn't specify different sizes so I confirmed with the waitress. She said they only have one size, 12 inches. If you get a 12" cheese pizza it costs $18.50. I wanted pepperoni so that was an additional $2.99. I thought this is really overpriced but I was hungry so I just decided to go with it. A bit later the pizza came out. I couldn't believe what I saw. This pizza looked like a train wreck. It came out with pizza sauce on top of the cheese on some parts of the pizza. This looked more like abstract art than pizza. Not only that, this was the sloppiest looking pizza I had ever seen. I can't believe that somebody would make something like this and have it presented to someone. I would be really embarrassed if I made something that came out looking like that. What was the purpose of this extra sauce on top of the cheese? That was a first. That's not how it's supposed to be. After a while, I wondered, "could it be that the additional pizza sauce was covering up something?" So, I scraped away some of it and I noticed shredded mozzarella cheese not fully cooked hiding underneath all of that sauce. Nothing like cutting corners and giving your own customers overpriced crap-food just to make things easier for yourself huh? See the picture of the slice. I just don't understand how somebody could cook something like that, have it served to their customers and not be embarrassed by it. The crust wasn't good either. You can tell just by looking at it. In terms of quality, this pizza is one step above a $hit sandwich. How can you screw up a pizza? Maybe this guy isn't cut out to be a pizza maker or maybe it's simply above his pay grade. I should have read all these reviews before I tried this place. I don't know this place manages to stay in business. I spent $27.42 for a 12" pepperoni pizza and 1 Dr. Pepper. read more

I ordered a traditional pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms and green peppers wow was it good. Excellent tasting sauce and toppings. Is was a thin crust pizza and crunchy really good. read more

Prime location on the boardwalk, but food is basic Italian and overpriced. Crab dip is delicious but only comes with one pretzel stick. Spaghetti tasted ok, but was dry like it had been sitting in the sauce for quite a while. For $18.50 plus $6.99 to add chicken, it was way too expensive. The pasta comes with either soup or salad, so I tried the soup of the day: chicken noodle. The bowl was only filed halfway, and the broth was almost a gel-like consistency. We also had to wait a long time for our check. This place has potential but just isn't worth it. read more

I stopped by yesterday to get a takeout pizza. Because it's just a few days before Christmas, this was one of the few restaurants open on the boardwalk. I ordered a cheese pizza and paid extra for pepperoni, so the total came to $20. After 15 minutes, I stopped by and asked about my order. The person making the pizzas said "I got the order" and started making my pizza right then. It was ready in another 10 minutes. The pizza was small- 6 small pieces that made a normal meal for two people. Considering the price it wasn't worth it. The pizza itself was pretty good, but it should have been a lot bigger for the price. read more

I am a pizza fanatic on a mission to find the best pizza joints whenever I travel. This pizza is delicious! My only criticism is that I prefer the small pepperonis that curl when baked; they use larger pepperonis here, which are still good but feel more generic. The crust is flavorful and stands on its own--nice and thin, just how I like it. It's evenly cooked with fresh -well-melted mozzarella cheese, and the amount of cheese is perfect. The crust is nicely browned, and the sauce is spicy and tangy, with fresh herbs enhancing the flavor. The service was outstanding, friendly, not over solicitous, but attentive. The atomosphere is beautiful! Situated on the vibrant boardwalk of Ocean City, Maryland they have indoor and out door seating. We dined out on the deck. It was a hot day, but the large umbrellas at the tables made it very comfortable for outside dining. read more

I had the spaghetti carbonara, they cut whole onions with bacon. I just got back from Italy. Did I say anymore? The garlic bread thumbs down Caesar salad was so basic wasn't worth it Services OK, not great waiting for refill 10 minutes . We're sitting outside. It's pretty cold so the places nice but chilly. read more

I'm usually pretty lenient when eating out on vacation. But I was really REALLY disappointed in everything about this place, especially after reading the mostly decent reviews. It was... Awful. The waitress was NOT BUSY when i got there, (7:20pm) but was already talking to me about how if they were not busy, they started closing at 8:30. Ummm...ok. The menu said that all sandwiches were served with chips, with an upcharge of 1.99 for fries. I didn't order a sandwich, i ordered a chicken quesadilla, which was as much or more than most of the sandwiches. I asked her if it came with chips. No, ma'am. I asked if i could order a side of fries... no ma'am, we only have the $10 basket. I said no thanks. The quesadilla was dry, and not hot. I ordered a vodka and sprite. It came in the size glass you would serve soda or tea in... it had one shot, if that, of liquor. Weak and not good. My waitress checked on me once... One time. I had to flag her down for more water and then again for my check. It is now 9:00, they're busier than they were when i got here and they're definitely NOT closing at 8:30. I was a waitress and a bartender for years. I understand all the dynamics. No reason for the horrible service I received tonight... And the food was mediocre at best. BTW, i heard someone ask her how long she worked here... she said 2 years. They said, do you like it? She literally said NO. we can see that... And i agree..i don't like it here either.. I won't be back. And i come to Ocean city ALOT!! Sad. read more

Good lord. Now I fully understand why this place was empty and the one next to it was full. My waitress was. Not. Nice. Now I have to go buy the shirt that says "I'm just wtf-ing my way through life." Because why? Why does someone need to rude at the beach and ruin customers mornings? Because you're so miserable? I'll never understand. That girl needs to be fired. Anywho. The fried eggs and potatoes were good. They came on two separate plates, apparently because I ordered off the sides menu. Spoiler, they can easily go on the same plate so the person feels like it's an actual breakfast. I got unsweet iced tea. She brought one then I never saw her again until I was done. I asked for another tea in a to go cup. She said it would cost extra. So I told her to bring me another one for here. Now I'm sitting here drinking it. And taking up a table. Just because she couldn't do her job AND tried to pawn off her idiocy onto me. Nope. read more

food was good. it's average brick oven pizza. my complaint. You order a bucket to drink and you pay $25 for ice. and a drop of alcohol. not worth it. read more

Great oven brick pizza will definitely go back , drinks great also 4 maybe 5 star service only been once

Decent food but slow outside service. Several orders incorrect. Outside ambiance very nice.

We stopped by here for pizzas because they advertised them as oven baked but we were pretty disappointed with the pizzas. They flavors were mediocre and they charged me for replacing a topping (one meat with another) without telling us. I probably would not be back again. There's many better pizza spots out there to choose from. Brother's Bistro was expensive and nothing to write home about. read more

PLEASE don't eat here. I found hair in my food. the waiter charged me 18% service fee for large party. it was only 3 of us. the pizza was horrible. I will NEVER eat here again. read more

We had a great time! Songul is a great server! Food was delicious and the drinks were yummy!

Food didn't taste really good. I ordered salmon and it was so dry. For the price it wasn't really worth it.

I wish I could give this place a better review, but my recent experience was extremely disappointing. I ordered a chicken sandwich that cost way more than it was worth. The sandwich tasted like it had been sitting out for days--dry, tough, and just completely unappetizing. For the price, I expected something fresh, but it felt like they just reheated something old. As if that wasn't bad enough, the chips that came with it were soft and stale, like they'd been left open for days. How hard is it to serve fresh chips with a sandwich? For what I paid, this was unacceptable. I won't be coming back and can't recommend this place to anyone looking for quality food. read more

The service was quick and courteous. The server was responsive and personable. The restaurant is clean, neat, and had several televisions as the bar, which also looked well stocked and clean. The prices are outrageous considering the quality of the food. One of our party ordered a pizza which was fresh and very good. This is clearly their forte and is what I would recommend. Other orders were a fried chicken sandwich, spaghetti with meatballs, baked ziti, and the Brother's pasta. All of the pasta was cold and everything seems to have been warmed up in a microwave. The quality was poor and I'm fairly certain that all of the food is pulled out of a freezer and into a microwave. Don't eat dinner here unless you plan to get the pizza. read more

Food was at best - good. Ordered a steak and eggs - returned the steak because it was beyond well done. It was "congratulations" at that point. The replacement steak was great. We grabbed cute photos taken by a third party photographer there. Their iced coffee sucked but the mimosas made up for it. read more

ordered omelet asked for cheese to be added, without notifying me they added an extra $1.99 to the bill. paid with credit card, without notifying me they charged an extra $.99. had they told me of the credit card fee I would have paid cash. probably best to go elsewhere where they communicate the extra fees prior to charge. read more

The service was 5-stars. The drink was watery and the pizza not that great. The ambiance was nice though. It is right of the board walk. read more

Brother's Bistro is located on the Ocean City Boardwalk near 14th street. The offer Italian cuisine with a full bar. They have outdoor and indoor seating. The food quality and beach is great as well as the service. My only concern is that they charge a service fee for credit cards. While I understand it is posted on their menu, who reads every detail on a menu. Moreover, the server or bartender should mention it out of courtesy. That said, I definitely recommend this restaurant. Bon Apetit. read more

What can I say about Brother's Bistro? The only thing positive is the view. My husband and I are from New York and we were looking for a decent pizza in the boardwalk as we were tired from the day's festivities. The pizza doesn't even deserve to be called a pizza. It tasted like a kids frozen pizza but even lesser, more like paper with no flavor on the sauce. After finishing the "pizza", a guy just came to our table, didn't say anything and just got the metal pizza stand AND was taken away just to be given to the next table!!! If only I could give this place a zero out of 5, I would but I have to select one star to write this review. Will never come back and please stay away from this restaurant. Save your money and your valuable time. read more

Enjoyed a delicious dinner here. The dinner started well with our server Adina taking our order. It then went to terrible when my companion was served her dinner but I was not. Adina asked how our food was and when she saw i had no food immediately went to the kitchen to find out the reason. Turns out the order machine hit a snafu and my order was never processed. Adina went to work getting my dinner made even the busboy from Nepal (sorry I never got his name) went to the kitchen to find out the problem. Anyway long story short my meal finally came it was delicious and the manager took care of us in the end. Recommend this place for food and customer service. Thank you Brothers Bistro. read more

Food was great! Service was quick, our waitress Adinna was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. Restaurant is right off the boardwalk and outside seating was great, nice view of the water! read more

Terrible pizza and very expensive. Soup was very salty. I was hoping for quality ingredients because of the high price. The crust tasted like it was store bought and frozen. read more

Positive: location, friendly staff, pizza tasted pretty good Negative: pizza size is very small. For the price we assumed it would be enough to share among 2 or 3 adults, where really it was enough for one hungry adult. The cream of crab soup was overly salty. Fettuccine Alfredo was bland read more

We parked next to brother's with the plan to eat at another restaurant nearby. I'm so glad we didn't! I have a broken ankle and my mother is in a wheelchair with oxygen. We also had two lively kiddos with us. We saw the ramp and decided to give it a try. The hostesses were great and seated us right away and explained they didn't have any inside tables if we were ok with eating outside given the possible storm. Within a few minutes they came over and offered us a table inside that they were able to clear. They were genuinely trying to accommodate us given our needs and the storm. The waitress made a solid recommendation of the Bros pasta and was very attentive and kind. The noise level was elevated but I believe that was due to them bringing everyone inside and finding them tables. Once the storm passed it quieted down. The staff was motivated and genuinely wanted to please. Hands down one of my best restaurant experiences in quite awhile in OC. read more

We spent the weekend in Ocean City for a cheer competition. We had a large party and decided to go out for Italian. The Food was ok, but after receiving the bill we noticed they added a $66 service fee. That was a 20% fee added on to of the 3.5% credit card fee. 18% was automatically added for gratuity due to our party size. It would have been nice to let us know that they would charge us a service fee upfront. I am all about supporting mom and pops, but not when they screw you. I would not recommend this place. read more

"good food, drinks...great location with an amazing view..." After walking we chose this place to have dinner and it was a nice experience. the best part of this meal was our server (Sofia from Italy). though it was crowded, she brought all food items in considerable time. she was making conversation in between and was literally running around. She only suggested us to try spaghetti and mango mojito. Salmon fish was really good. I tried Bahama mama and pineapple mojito and it was equally good. and view... wow... near the shore... ocean breeze... see pics for more what else you can ask for... read more

The owner has to be related to Ebenezer Scrooge. The food and service were good, but STINGY!! My wife ordered the "Popeye Pizza ". It had one measly piece of spinach and a couple slices of mushrooms and the rest was just cheese. $22 for a 10" pizza with barely any toppings? It gets worse. I ordered the crab ravioli. It was good...but they wouldn't give me any bread!! Who serves pasta without bread? I could've had garlic bread for an additional charge. Pasta dishes include bread. That's how it goes. Apparently, this guy wants to milk it for all its worth. I ended up using my wife's pizza crust as bread. CHEAPSKATE!!! read more

It's after Labor Day and the crowd has thinned. I ordered the house salad. Huge and filing. The raspberry tea was good. Service was on point. The table beside me ordered a pepperoni pizza. It looked good. read more

Zero stars. Avoid at all costs. Microwaved meatballs, bad service, nickel and dimed with fees.

Happy hour is one of the only reasons to come. $3 rales and I'm there. 2pm to 5pm happy hour drink and snacks, including 50 cent wings. Wings were good, comes in regular, hot, or BBQ. You can tell they were frozen then deep fried, regular is dry with no sauce; hot & BBQ is just a regular wings with sauce on top. Dip on the side of ranch of Bleu cheese. Onion rings were good, thick battered, not thick rings. Came with ranch on the side. Drinks were good, they have a jumbo margarita with two Coronas in it. We also got the bucket of rum, solid choice. Prices were reasonable, drinks weren't bad. I wouldn't come here for a regular meal, I feel the quality isn't there for a regular sit down restaurant experience. But definitely for the happy hour and a quick snack after being smashed by waves. read more

Service was okay but food was not great, very bland with no seasoning and the crab cakes are mostly filler

Very friendly service in a super convenient location! But... "Brick Oven Pizza" was what drew us inside. After we ordered we looked over to the far side of the restaurant and there it was... a gas powered flame in an open oven, and so, no brick oven taste and a rather small and disappointing pizza. There is a very large drink menu, but they didn't have many of the items listed on the menu. All of the other food we ordered was frozen and fried or reheated. I can't speak on the pasta dishes but nothing here seems to be house-made or fresh. There are better options nearby, so we won't be back. I suppose in a pinch it's "good enough" as a fellow Yelper reported, but you're also going to be paying a bit much for settling on a meal. read more

Visited on my vacation to OC-- in our last night. Walking the boardwalk from 23rd st. Got hungry and checked out the menu-- it looked decent. Me- 3- bad service but good pasta carbonara. Tomato soup was chunky tomato sauce Sister- 3.5 Mom- 4 enjoyed burger but took long Dad- 1.5 spaghetti didn't have any taste. Chicken parmigiana over fried and really thin Uncle- 4 Aunt- 3 dirty place had stuff under her seat Cousin- 2.5 read more

Good solid food. I had the 2 2 2. 2 fresh eggs cooked over easy the right way plus 2 bacon and 2 pancakes. Enjoyed my meal. This nutty irishman decided to supplement it with the "Nutty Irishman" coffee with 2 liqueurs to sit and enjoy the boardwalk and ocean. Service was attentive and friendly. Of particular note is the hostess who is positioned on the boardwalk to draw diners in. She is very charming and full of smiles. They are lucky to have her. Mine was a nice meal to start the day in a nice location overlooking the boardwalk beach and the ocean. read more

I wish i can put zero! Terrible food and drinks, waste of time and money. Do not go there!

The clams were pretty small although pretty tastey. Fried chicken sandwich was very good although 1.99 upcharge for a few fries was crazy.
