    Shrimp
    Lucretia M.

    Came down for st pattys day weekend. It was really packed. Service was still great, waitress was really nice and informative. Food came out and great timing. I got the green tea drink it was a little sour so hot an extra shot to go in it.

    Some banging wings! BLT was loaded with bacon!

    I liked it it's divey and definitely geared towards adults but if you are looking for a casual hang and some crispy, saucy wings - it's right up your alley. I would def go back - nothing fancy but some sports on the TV, wings and a cold beer to break up the summer heat (or get out of the rain in our case) - it's a win!

    A go to in OC with great staff and welcoming clientele that is not 'clicky' like some other year round places. Very good food and I love their steamed shrimp. Prices are fair with a great atmosphere to catch a game or just getting out of the het and grabbing a drink.

    Hands down my favorite shrimp! I also love how the bartenders steam them right behind the bar. Best pub atmosphere!

    Drinks were great. Servers were very nice. Had a welcoming, helpful feel. Air conditioning was perfect. Crab cake was delicious

    Love the steamed shrimp. Served with onions if you like. Wings are good too. Bars food menu. Bartenders are super friendly and helpful. Long bar that fills up quick. Tables do as well. Locals and everyone visiting love it.

    Right off the bat, this is dive bar atmosphere. We went in there expecting very little, food wise. We were pleasantly surprised. The place is small and on busy days can feel cramped. It's worth it. All 4 of us have nothing but positive things to say about the food. The roast beef club was HUGE. The beef was tasty and plentiful. The chicken tenders Nere phenomenal with great seasoning and cooked perfectly. The French Dop was amazing. Two diners who eat French Dip regularly said i was the best they had and surpassed the place they get it at home. The French fries? Wow. A basket of fries was enough to feed the whole table and the seasoning was amazing. Now let's talk about their chips. When you see homemade chips on a menu you know it's usually a vanity, cheap filler. This is NOT THE CASE here. The Kirby chips are CRAZY good. One diner who.will not eat chips tried one and said even though he's not a chip eater these had an amazing taste. We had sodas, 2 mixed drinks and a draft. Beer was ICE cold. Mixed drinks were perfect. Definitely not watered down. The atmosphere is dive bar. Not my scene and almost walked out. The music and people are loud. The space is limited. But the FOOD is amazing. I didn't expect much and now l'm embarrassed by that judgemental thought. It's so good we added their menu to our realtors' menu book in our rental. Will we be back? ABSOLUTELY and probably this week. We like to try different places but this place deserves a second visit.

    This place is awesome good hamburger, best steamed shrimp and wings. Will go back again to try other food. The vibe here is great and loud. Only negative gets crowded after 6.

    Is this allowed in Maryland?

    The bartenders made me promise not to post this pic. I lied. Awesome shrimp as last time. Burger well done not medium rare as ordered. But still tasty. Nice bourbon crush. And if you ask for a Bud Light, they will bring you one!

    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.
