Hushpuppies
David H.

I'm from the South originally and judge BBQ places accordingly so when you claim to be legit BBQ I'm gonna hold you to that. I'm pretty sure this place used to be an Irish Bar and it still has the dark look and feel of one rather than the BBQ place it purports to be. The hushpuppies were very tasty here and the portion was huge, we were hungry and we couldn't finish them all. That's the good news. The bad news is when you lead off a review of a BBQ place talking about their hushpuppies that usually means everything else is sorely lacking and that's certainly the case here. The pulled pork sandwich was a large portion of heavily sauced pork that tasted like the stuff you buy in a tub at the grocery store. For $7 it was a decent deal for happy hour since I was hungry and it was a lot of mediocre food but certainly not worth the $18.95 they would charge during non-happy hour times. However, the pulled pork sandwich is a prize-winning BBQ masterpiece compared to the purported "Sticky Maple Bacon Baked Beans, Cornbread Crumble." At $7.95 this is a must-skip as it turned out to taste like a decent sized serving of mid-grade store brand baked beans with a few small cornbread croutons thrown on top. There was no maple bacon flavor to be found in this tepid offering and in fact I have a free suggestion to this place, I added a little of your mustard BBQ sauce and it improved the flavor so maybe you can try that as well. Service was very friendly here and the place understandably wasn't very crowded around 5:30 on a weeknight. There are lots of food options in and around AC and the various casinos, this place is okay for happy hour only as long as you stay on the HH menu and know you're getting a mediocre at best meal. Otherwise, if you want to replicate the taste of their BBQ pork sandwich, save your money and grab a tub of pulled pork and a sesame seed bun at the store and enjoy. This place served its purpose since I was hungry but I won't be back and at this rate I don't know that it will be around too much longer. Note: They reached out soon after my review to say they were sorry to hear about my experience and to offer me a credit to try them again. I'm no longer in town so I can't take them up on it but I appreciate the offer and do hope others have a better experience here.

Mac and cheese with cheese balls on top . This is not suitable for human consumption.

Today I was in ac staying at the hard rock and wanted some bbq style lunch . I figured I'd give this place another try for lunch . One of my favorite YouTubers that covers ac recently posted his experience so that was good enough for me . I came in about 2:30 or so it was pretty slow and I was sat immediately. The server came over introduced himself and offered to give me a minute to look over the menu . When he came back I ordered a Sam Adams seasonal draft and the bbq pulled pork sandwich with fries . The beer was cold and I enjoyed the sandwich just the right amount of pork and bbq sauce fries were crispy and seasoned well . I'm glad I gave them another shot and will most likely stop by again in the future .

Right beside elevators to Havana tower 2nd floor Tropicana casino hotel. We were on the hunt for affordable breakfast within the hotel and liked it so much we came back the next day. It was something like Boardwalk breakfast, 2 eggs, toast, tator tots for $8.95. There is a Bloody Mary that was perfect taste for $6. This is a great choice within the hotel for breakfast, also offer BBQ for dinner.

I'm always suspicious of a bbq place in a bar setting. I feel as if maybe the food is baked instead of smoked like authentic bbq, or it's just not up to par, and this place was roughly average. What I got: Pork ribs: not bad but not good either, no pink smoke ring on them indicating baked or overcooked. Not tender. Beef ribs: I have had far better beef ribs. This was overcooked, tough, and seemed baked, not smoked. Mac: I feel like most restaurants make bad Mac n cheese. This was good. Just cheesy enough, pasta cooked perfect, nice crust on the top. Cornbread: cheesy cornbread, not sweet. Not my thing. Skip: Fries: not crispy enough, they say seasoned on the menu but they're not seasoned. Boring. Biscuit: giant brick of dough. Nothing special. Butter didn't change it, bland. Overall this is not an authentic bbq place as the meat seems to be baked not smoked. Cook time is off, and I found the meats to be not tender whatsoever, Pricing: HIGH. But you're at a casino resort. It's supposed to be overpriced. Overall: Not up to par with good bbq restaurants. Decent sides, mean not great.

Crispy Brussel Sprouts

Again, I can't say enough about Wild Honey! Even though this is not a busy time in AC, Wild Honey is open and does not disappoint. We like to sit at the bar and enjoy the biscuit and cornbread combo from the happy hour menu. We always share this and get something else on the side. This time we chose the Brussels Sprouts and these were the best Brussels Sprouts I've had. They are cooked perfectly! Crunchy and charred on the outside and slightly tender on the inside. Not too mushy-which happens a lot when making crispy sprouts. The biscuit and cornbread combo was delicious too! The bar was almost empty tonight with only one other person there-who appeared to be a regular. We chatted with him and the bartender, who was friendly and helpful!

Extra crispy chicken. Delicious

Made reservations since it was Friday night. We were seated and greeted promptly. Order wings for an appetizer, they were absolutely delicious. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, came with tater tots and coleslaw. I was not able to sub out sides even though what I wanted was priced the same. Luckily they were the best part of my meal. Did not care for the pulled pork. Too much vinegar for my taste. Our very pleasant waitress, asked if she could get the manager to comp or provide a $15 credit. We chose a free dessert instead. My husband got a burger with fries, which were cold. They were not replaced. This spot wasn't my favorite for bbq. It's a one and done

All the goodness

We had an incredible experience at Wild Honey! The food was excellent and our server, Megan, was really extraordinary! My partner had the BBQ ribs and enjoyed them very much. I'm vegetarian but Wild Honey had lots of options for me - I had the crispy brussels sprouts with cotija cheese and honey buffalo sauce and they were amazing! We also loved the hushpuppies and cheesy grits, and ended up taking some biscuits and cornbread to go. Additionally the strawberry shortcake was really good and we saw a neighboring table have the sundae which looked pretty epic too. The best part of the night was how much Megan made sure we were enjoying ourselves and our food. We felt welcomed at Wild Honey and we will be sure to return.

Outstanding customer service this place is top-notch . The place has bbq on one side and a cafe on the other side and has really good coffee and breakfast treats .

Left to Right - (Fake) Chicken tenders and Cauliflower bites. Not good.

Was looking for vegetarian options. They have them, but are deeply fried. Not returning. Had high hopes. Would not return.

They are located in the Quarter at the Tropicana Hotel. Kind of tucked away by the IMAX theater on the 2nd floor. They are open from 8 am to about 10 pm pretty much everyday I believe, which is awesome. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner here. They have things bbq. I was with 2 other people so we got a the platter with 3 meats and 3 sides. The brisket and ribs were delicious. The brussel sprouts were also delicious as well as the "big ass" biscuit and cornbread Our server was awesome, Gigi was her name. I was there for dinner but I'd like to come back and try the breakfast.

After my previous review I was messaged by the owner Tom. Traveling so much for business means I eat out A LOT and sometimes my experience's are not that great. My original experience here wasn't necessarily bad. I've definitely experienced far worse. What has stood out to me during those times is a lot of places will try to post a response to save face and look like they care, but really they don't and there's rarely any offer to make things right. Well not here! Tom sent me a message to my inbox and told me to reach out the next time I'm in the area. Two months went by and I happened to be celebrating my birthday in the area and I reached back out to him. I told him when I wanted to come and he made sure I was taken care of! The service was outstanding, everyone was extremely nice. And the manager knew who I was when I got there even though I was a bit early. Made a girl feel a bit special I tell ya! lol! I now need to say god can this place make a waffle! I know someone is probably reading this review and is like come on lady it's a waffle.....I assure you not all waffles are created equal lol! This waffle is the best waffle I've had in years. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Plus it has that old fashioned waffle taste like grandma use to make. The tots are also delicious and this time I dipped them in the two different bbq sauces they had available and they were finger licking good! The bbq sauces are on point and had me almost ready to eat meat again lol! The food presentation was also nice. I love the fact that they offer a late breakfast and they will be my go to breakfast spot for now on when I'm in the area. I do plan on also going back to try dinner again. I need parts of that Carolina gold bbq sauce on some salmon or something! On this trip my husband and I were staying at the HardRock and decided to walk down to the Tropicana for breakfast. It was a bit of a hike however the food and service was definitely worth it. No doubt we would do it again! Thank you Tom and the rest of the crew at Wild Honey BBQ! This place is food and business done right and I'm wishing the establishment many years of longevity so long as you keep that waffle on the menu lol (jk)! Thanks again for a great meal and service guys!

Stopped by on a Wednesday evening. The Manager at the time was playing some GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD ass old school R&B music. It was sooo smooth! We could have stayed there all night just for the music! My Mother got chicken wings & macaroni. She loved them both. I got the combo cornbread and biscuit. We had mixed feelings. I liked the cornbread , she liked the biscuit. Came with butter balls lol I didnt get a chance to order my sirloin until about 20 mins after my Mom... I asked for medium, it came out well. Ended up boxing that to go. On the floor for the Havana tower kiosok

We ended up at MudHen because the restaurant we were trying to get into was closed for the season…read morebut never put it on their website and what a blessing that was! We sat upstairs and the whole feel of the place was just welcoming and hospitable- felt like a community gathering spot. Danielle was our server and she was knowledgeable, made great recommendations, was fast and just overall amazing. Btw- she was 100% spot on about the banana pudding martini- absolutely delish! The chicken pesto panini was fabulous. The Cuban sandwich was good, but the ribs and hen chips were only average. Nonetheless, the warm toffee cake was phenomenal for dessert!

Waitresses were very nice and attentive. They did explain they have two kitchens, so food comes out as it is ready, not all at once. Which is fine. Appetizer was pork belly ! They was do good and the sauce was yummy ! My daughter had a hot dog and fries Husband had the red snapper and rice. The sauce was a curry , he said it was good. He also had a IPA and a Long Island iced Tea I had the mahi mahi tacos. Big pieces of fish, pickled onions and salsa verde sauce but it was bland. It would be better if it was mango salsa on top. We would come here again.

Look it isn't exactly close to anything and I think mostly frequented by locals but if you are on the MD or DE coast around Fenwick and OC, please please please do yourself a favor and make the trek.

You've arrived at the Grove Market Restaurant and Smokehouse. Now "stumble" is simple poetic flourish I'm sorry to say because this stumble requires a reservation. But lore and experience is part of the Grove allure; the other is its very, very good food. There's no menu, no onside food fridge at this local to table establishment just excellent service and well prepared culinary delights. And the Grove is accommodating; should you, like me, have dietary preferences let them know when reserving. The chef had a unique appetizer ready for me and I was so touched by the gesture I went back to thank them. Fist bumps. The Grove works on timed seatings in its rather small quarters. The server narrates the night's offerings in stages and is very responsive to inquiries. The apps, the meals, the desserts are all very good. I had scallops in a coconut curry sauce, mashed potatoes and a rainbow array of carrots. My guests had pork, filet minion, sea bass -- all from hereabouts. No complaints. Lots of yum yum silence. Now a few things to account for -- bring cash; no cards at the Grove and bring plenty of cash. Worth it. Go. Stumble on. Yum. Yum.
