Reviews for Mug & Mallet in Ocean City, MD
Got the Snow Lover ($90) and Ribs ($28), absolutely delicious! I tried some Berry specialty drink and it was also really good.... We got in right away as well, server was great & we saw him doing a lot more than normal to help out. Read more
I was born and raised in MD and was stationed in Idaho for the past 3 1/2 years so I was planning on eating crabs. I loved... eating crabs on the boardwalk. It was cool because a lot of people would look at our crabs and then turn around and come downthe steps. Yay for attracting customers. I loved the shrimp cocktail and the Italian soda orange crush. The only reason for 4stars instead of 5 is a few of the crabs were a bit mushy inside, but that's no big deal. We just picked new ones and put thoseon the side. It was only 2 crabs out of 2 dozen, but I was really sad to hear that the steaming was in an old bay substitute andnot the real old bay, which is also understandable because of the scarcity and market prices of everything. I have had bettercrabs around my neighborhood here in MD, but I still found myself smiling and enjoying eating crabs on the boardwalk. Hopefullythe pricing for old bay gets better because not having the MD tradition was a little sad, but another plus was service was greatand the prices were a lot better per dozen for the crabs. Thanks for adding to all of the things I wanted to do this trip hometo MD. :) Read more
If you're on a vacation and looking for a great bite from the surf with great service, look no further. Mug & Mallet lives up to... its name by offering ice cold beer while letting you make an absolute mess of your table as you smash your way to seafooddelight. Staff is incredibly friendly, service is quick, and the delicious blue crab, lobster, and raw oysters do notdisappoint! Read more
This place turned my tongue upside down and over its head.The only thing good was the waitress, water, Cole slaw, and the... soundtrack they played. The water had more taste than the food!! Just tasteless. My wife?s steam shrimp came out over cooked,her crab cakes looked like it was between a salmon cake and crab cake, the stuffed shrimp was not stuffed shrimp; it was shrimpwith crab meat thrown on top with no flavor, the shore fries were slices of cheddar cheese filled with very few sprinkles ofcrabmeat which looked like it was either microwaved or placed under a heated lamp which cause the dish to stick to theparchment paper. Dam I had a mouth full of paper. The corn was still wrapped in the leaf with no butter. Old bay season andbutter seems to be foreign to this place. Not a hint of old bay or butter was taste in my meal. This is the first time I hadseafood and never tasted old bay and butter. They also need a janitor or someone to tend to the cleaning of the facility. I wentto the bathroom and the hallway is narrow and riddled with cocktail sauce and wet floors. Staff and customers are walking intoeach other and causing food to fall off the trays. I wouldn?t even offer this food to a rat and they eat trash. The ones whoeat here have not tried an alternative I?ve been to commercial chain restaurants and backyard huts who have served better foodthan this. Read more
I get a text from my mom saying ?they charge us for water? I was shocked and confused! Water seriously. Water should be free,... right? The host forgot to bring my sisters water twice! One of there corn on the cob wasn?t good either and the ?crab mac &cheese? was horrible the pasta was over cooked and the cheese was so watery and milky. Disgusting! $50 a piece if they were toget each individual dinner it will be the same because the seafood is expensive they got one pot and everybody split it. Whichis a great idea! So the seafood was good except for the crab mac & cheese. Bring your own water too if you decide to come here???? Read more
We ordered 2 soups and were only brought one. We ordered 2 of the same drink and were only brought one. My vegetable of the day... looked like it was scraped from the bottom of the pot. The veggies were wilted, dry, and some were even unrecognizable. My 5jumbo shrimp stuffed with crab imperial were just 5 shrimp laid in a small boat topped with some crab and baked. Verydisappointed. Would not recommend. Will not be back. I hate leaving negative reviews, but on this one I really had no choice. Read more
Ordered 1/2 dozen crabs & 1 order of Hush Puppies w/ a mug of beer to wash it down. Beer arrived timely, food did not, so I... ordered 1 more & a water while I waited for food. Hush Puppies arrived same time as crabs (despite it being an appetizer, whichnormally comes before) and my water never came until I was 3 crabs in, and asked for it from the same person I had previously.Crabs & place is just ok. Nice feel of the ocean, if you eat outside, but if you eat in the lower area it feels very humid &dusty. Read more
We didn't get big meals, but what we got was good. The drinks were very good as well. They have outdoor seating right along the... boardwalk, but this time that was full, so we had to eat inside. Read more
