If you are exploring Ocean City, MD and head a little outside the town to Berlin, MD, add Forgotten 50 Distilling to your list. They are a craft distillery + restaurant with a dog friendly outdoor patio. We grabbed a flight of four spirits and it is the perfect way to sample what they do best. Their menu also has cocktails, craft beer, wine, and mocktails. They serve classic American dishes and have a dedicated gluten‑free menu, which is a huge win for anyone with dietary needs. Parts of the patio are shaded, but the front area gets strong sun so keep an extra eye on your pup. The staff will bring out water and if you have one, bring a cooling mat. Great drinks and a dog friendly atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and hang out. read more

Cool place with outdoor seating and 2 seperate indoor bars. Service was on the slower side especially with drinks. The staff however was friendly and attentive. They have a seperate gluten free menu in with their main menu 5/5 The Brussel sprouts appetizer were delicious with plenty of bacon flavor. 3/5 The sweet potato fries while cooked perfect lacked flavor. A hit of olive oil and some parsley would have made them a home run. 4/5 The wings were again cooked well but could have used more sauce. 3/5 Shrimp tacos had two giant pieces of shrimp on them which made them difficult to eat but the flavor was decent read more

First the service was excellent! We sat at the bar and Adam was our bartender. He did an awesome job. Second the food was amazing. The coconut shrimp was a 20 out of 10. I also had the BLT and my husband had a burger. Both VERY TASTY! We will definitely make this one of our stops in our future OC MD trips. Thank you Forgotten 50! read more

When visiting my girlfriend, who lives in Selbyville DE, she wanted us to try a restaurant in Berlin MD. What a find!! We really didn't know what to expect but the Forgotten 50 Distillery exceeded our expectations for a lovely lunch for 2. The food menu is diverse with lots to choose from: Entre's, Appetizers, Sandwiches, Burgers, Vegan, Salads ++more. The drink menu is huge including all of the alcohol selections they make in-house, including: Rum, Gin, Vodka, Bourbon and more! We decided to share their Chicken Lettuce Wrap app and Veggie Flatbread. We enjoyed both. The atmosphere is very casual. The bar is located in the middle of the restaurant. We will definitely be going back with our husbands! read more

It was the best chicken sandwich I have ever had! The fries were good too! The service was good too.

Not being from the area we took it to Yelp to find a good food spot for some happy hour specials. Down the street from Burley Oak we walked into the Forgotten 50, place was pretty Jamming for a mid day afternoon. They have 2 rooms, a smaller one with some bar seating and a larger one for events etc with a bar as well. Plenty of parking out front and a spacious patio. My wife and I each got a drink and opted for the chips and salsa and some wings. Chips and salsa was very good, highly recommend. Salsa was vibrant had some slight heat behind it and worked well, good size chips that didn't fall apart. For the wing flavor we got buffalo and the tandoori which is different and also the owners favorite flavor. The buffalo sauce left a bit to be desired but the tandoori ones are where it was it, great flavor similar to a dry rub. Our server was friendly and helpful, offered good recommendations. read more

We had a great visit to Forgotten 50, where the clean and classic modern design and excellent service from the waiters really stood out. I went with my husband and his friend, who both ordered hamburgers; while the food didn't quite hit the high mark they were expecting, I thoroughly enjoyed my buffalo flatbread, which was a tasty and interesting dish similar to a buffalo chicken pizza. I also liked my "Mr. TEA" drink, though my husband and his friend didn't care for their drinks as much as I did. Despite the mixed reactions to the food and drinks, we were all very impressed by the welcoming atmosphere and the overall environment. read more

Great wings, we tried 4 flavors and they were tasty. Recommend the chesepeake honey with wings naked. The wings themselves are very well prepped, great texture plenty of meat. The flight was pretty insane, you should 100% try it and have regrets later. read more

I went here with my wife for a weekend dinner and had a good dinner. We were able to get seats immediately despite not having a reservation and received great service throughout our dinner, including our servers being flexible when we wanted to switch from being outside to inside due to mosquitos. We split the pao de queijo and the Fried Gnocchi, both of which were OK but not great. The fried gnocchi tasted like they came out of a package, were barely crispy, and needed more flavor. The chimichurri sauce for the pao de queijo was flavorful but the pao itself was lacking. I also got the French Onion soup, which was fantastic-tons of flavor, cheese, onions, and bread. I got the scallops for my main course. Despite being a bit salty, the risotto was good and the scallops perfectly cooked. The Fresno chilies and tomatoes added good heat and freshness. I would recommend Forgotten 50 Distilling if you are in Berlin or near Assateague, and looking for a solid, family-friendly place. read more

Atmosphere was fun and lively. Service was pretty good considering how busy they were. Short wait but exactly as the host advised it would be. Food was tasty. Reached out to the restaurant with a modest concern, and it was quickly remedied, professionally and adequately. Will definitely go back! read more

We were looking to try somewhere new for a change. After lots of research looking at pictures, menus, and recommendations we decided on Forgotten 50. As we arrived we noticed lots of parking space and a nice outdoor seating area though we chose to sit inside so we could watch some baseball. There are two bars inside that we saw, a bigger pentagon shaped bar that we sat at and a smaller more cozy bar in the next room over. The bartender was extremely nice, made some great drink recommendations, and was very knowledgeable about the menu. I asked him to make me his favorite drink as it was my first time there and he chose the Wonderlust -- beautifully crafted and refreshing. We also had a Margarita, Cosmo, Espresso Martini and a freezer door martini (premade martinis chilled in the freezer, smaller pour and cheaper than one of their regular cocktails). They also serve beer, wine, and have nonalcoholic options available too. We ordered a few appetizers to split and then each got a sandwich. Chips and Salsa which I'd probably skip next time around and buffalo wings which were good but I wouldn't put them at the top of my wings list. The cheesesteak was good (steak was great but the roll left a little to be desired). My dad and I got burgers which we both really enjoyed. From their house made burger blend to the soft brioche buns they were legit burgers all the way around. We definitely enjoyed our time here and were glad we decided on Forgotten 50. The food was good, great craft drinks, and the happy hour (which we missed) looks pretty good too. We'll be back in the area at the end of the June and will probably stop back in for a drink or two. read more

Overall not satisfactory with food or distillery. Service was okay, to be fair we had a waitress who was new though. Ambiance was okay, more of an upscale modern vibe. Music was good though, just overhead radio. Liquors including vodka, botanical vodka, bourbon, and gin were NOT smooth at all. Vodka reminds me of old school Pinnacle or something even more harsh that college kids buy. Bourbon was somewhere between American Honey and Wild Turkey. Chips were thick and very hard. Salsa was not a standard blend, has a weird orange cream tint... not sure what that is about. French onion soup had whole piece of toast making it difficult to split up. The soup itself is a lighter broth than I personally prefer. Brussel sprouts were more leaf than anything. read more

Great place! Great service! Great drinks! So much gluten free! Such a great place!! Thank you Adam and Mike!

First time lunch at Forgotten 50. Left very impressed. The food was terrific--everything we got was of a high standard. The chicken sandwich with buffalo sauce, the seafood flatbread, and the buratta appetizer were all first rate. And the service was amazing: despite having a full bar, Adam was very attentive without crossing the line and seeming to "hover" over the table, and when the kitchen got a little behind he kept us appraised about when things would be ready. Overall, I think Forgotten 50 gets all the details right: a lot of restaurants aspire to this kind of experience, from food to drinks to service, but they actually deliver. Will definitely be back! read more

They have several pages of gluten free menu options. I had the fried chicken sandwich. Although the bun was a little dry and too thick for my preference, the chicken was moist and crispy. I have not had a fried chicken sandwich at a restaurant in 15 yrs. I will definitely return to this restaurant when in the area. Everyone in the party enjoyed their meals (even picky grandchildren). read more

fantastic!!!! I went for happy hour. my lavender margarita was delish. the fried gnocchi was outstanding & wings the best. wish I knew of it sooner. amazing read more

First off, my wife is gluten free and they have an amazing GF menu. We shared everything and honestly I would not have known that the dishes were GF. The drinks are so good and well balanced. The service was incredible, our server was attentive and such a sweet person. This was our second time here on this trip and we will be back. read more

I had a day on my own so decided to check this place out and I was glad I did. It's in Berlin and they have ample parking and a really cool outdoor seating area . It was lunch and I was alone so I chose to sit in the smaller bar area . The host - I'm not sure if he was the manager or owner was very friendly and accommodating. He told me all about the place and their products. I ordered a delicious cocktail called Caribbean Class . It was beautifully presented and came with a little side car of Prosecco, that you could mix in. It was delicious! I wanted to like my crab cake more than I did. It had a lot of crabmeat, but it was a bit short on flavor. The fries were very good. Would totally go back when in the area . I wish them good luck with their venture. read more

This is my absolute favorite restaurant! The food is always amazing, the drinks are always on point. And the staff is always so friendly and inviting. The gluten-free menu is absolutely insane and I am not even a gluten-free patron that I still order off their because it's so delicious! The outside space is perfect for enjoying gorgeous days and your kids can run around while you relax. The new sidecar space is fantastic and bonus points. I can bring my dog. There's always parking available because they even have an overflow lot. I just can't say enough good things about this restaurant and distillery. read more

Booked here for Father's Day as brunch here last year was a big hit with our large party. Showed up this year and were disappointed that brunch was no longer an option. Overall still a good experience but unfortunately we'll have to find a new place next year. read more

The upscale cocktails are both creative and delicious. The presentation of the colorful cocktails with editable pansies, aloe, and mint were so beautiful. The food was SPECTACULAR. The skirt steak was marinated just right and a perfect medium rare. You could taste the herbs and garlic in the chimichurri sauce, and it so complimented the skirt steak and arugula. There was a slight heat with the red Chile that tasted so fresh. The "Goat Island" salad with beets, and goat cheese was perfectly blended with the orange-honey vinaigrette, and I loved the watermelon radish garnish. The lettuce wraps with cashew chicken, Asian slaw in plum sauce with crispy wontons was beautiful. Terri and Sophie made us feel so welcome. Very nice interior and super clean. .. read more

While the food was delicious, it is the service that really stood out. The hostess was so friendly and set the tone. Our server, Sophia was super-attentive (without being intrusive as that can be a fine line). It sounds silly as I constantly hear people complaining about kids today (the same way our parents griped about us) but it was genuine. Both girls came across like they truly cared about us having a great experience. They took it personally. Phenomenal. I had a prosciutto, brie, fig sandwich which was fantastic. Crunchy grilled bread, salty prosciutto, tangy brie, sweet fig was a perfect balance of fun. Side of brussel sprouts were great. Hubby had a chicken and goat cheese sandwich on the same yummy grilled bread and had the chips. Not some crummy little bag of chips, but delicious homemade super crunchy chips that I stole a few of! We will be back with our dogs to hang outside, see a band, play connect 4 and soak up the sun. This place may be new, but they are killing it! read more

From the moment you step foot in the door you feel welcomed. We had the most amazing gluten free appetizers, dinner and drinks. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Ocean City. We will definitely be back on our next trip!!! Thank you. read more

Crab cake was good. I wanted tartar sauce and they said they didn't serve it. Odd. It was a good dish but didn't love. The other food there is super good. I think they can improve on the crab cake. It's such a staple here on the Eastern Shore read more

Amazing meals and apps! There were 6 of us on a busy Saturday evening, and we were surprised to get seated quickly. Server was very friendly. Apps came out quickly and everyone loved their food. We got the guac, street corn, and fried gnocchi. Our meal took a little longer, as there was a very large party ahead of us. Our server came out to apologize about the wait The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was delicious (and spicy!) They have SO many gluten free options.

Awesome spot we saw on our way to Burley Oak Brewing. After looking at the pics, we had to stop here. Absolutely fantastic! We had the Corn Salsa w/Lump Crab, the Pao de Queijo with the Chimichurri, and the spicy salsa. Besides the food, we also tried a couple of cocktails and their in-house spirit flight. Ended up buying three bottles to go. The staff was so friendly! Big shout out to Adam for taking care of us and telling us the history of the space. We were only in town for the weekend, but I feel like I would book another trip to OC just to come back out here. read more
