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...
Read moreKirby's Pub is a laid-back restaurant and bar tucked into the 94th Street Plaza in Ocean City. It's open every day from 11:30 AM to 2:00 AM.
I'd heard this place was the go-to spot for wings and steamed shrimp, so I told my friends we were making a stop. They didn't need much convincing.
We kicked things off with the shrimp jammers and Southwest chicken egg rolls. The shrimp were perfectly fried and loaded with cheese, honestly some of the best fried shrimp I've ever tasted. The egg rolls were also cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. Both appetizers were absolutely top-notch!
After the starters, we ordered the ole goat wings, jumbo steamed shrimp, curly fries, and a grilled chicken Caesar wrap. The wings were decent, average size and slightly overcooked. The curly fries were also a bit overdone, but well-seasoned. The wrap was standard. I can't say anything about the jumbo steamed shrimp. They never showed up. Highly disappointing, since that's the reason I came.
Service was underwhelming, even by pub standards. We waited a long time for everything, and no one checked in to see how the food was. The jumbo shrimp was charged but never arrived, so we had to ask for it to be removed from the bill. If you go, I'd definitely recommend sitting at the bar instead of a table. Overall, it was a...
Read moreMy girlfriend and I were just walking by this place and happened to recognize the name from someone else mentioning it so we decided to stop. Thank God we did because it was one of the highlights of our trip. It doesn't look like much from the outside but its the perfect cozy pub/tavern style bar on the inside. We were the first 2 people in for lunch and were greeted right away by Liz at the bar. She was super friendly and very attentive the whole time we were there. I started with a grapefruit crush and my girlfriend had a creamsicle crush. The grapefruit one was very solid but my girlfriend couldn't stop talking about the creamsicle one. I sampled it and had to order one next because it was one of the best creamsicle crushes I've ever had. We ordered the Kirby's cheesy pub chips (fried potatoes with old bay and melted cheese) and an order of chicken fingers with ole goat sauce (their house sauce - buffalo and garlic flavored and tasted amazing) and both dishes were fantastic. They came out pretty quickly and were nice and hot. We wish were staying a couple more days because we would of went back a 2nd time. Next time we are in town, this place is a definite stop...
