This place has great food but the service is awful. They say they can’t split checks and they gave us attitude when we wanted to use multiple cards to pay for our meals. They ended up splitting our check but the manager made it seem like it was the most difficult thing in the world. They need to learn how to make it right for the guest if they want them to return.

The food is pretty good. I recommend the Frenchie. They need to work on the ambiance. The place is plain and sterile looking/feeling.

Went here for lunch with 3 friends before we left to go back to VA. I got chilled shrimp($ 5) and half a dozen of oysters($ 8). It was good but I felt like it was a bit over priced for the small 6 shrimps on a stick and oysters I got. And I found a crab fetus in one of my oysters. I didn’t know what it was at first, so I asked the waitress. But other than the small amount and fetus, I think this place is pretty average.

Good place to eat while strolling the boardwalk! The Taurus sandwich was good and my son had the Bull club sandwich and he loved it! The staff was friendly… the fries were great! We don’t recommend the chesseburgers… stick with a signature sandwich and try the potato salad. .it was yummy! The give a great military discount!!!

Came in July 6th late night for a quick bite before me and the boyfriend hit the town for my birthday. The hostess was rude and didn’t want to seat us I guess because they wanted to stop serving food? But we sit down anyway and wait for our server. She was nice enough but when I ordered a drink and presented my ID(USA) she informed me that they do not accept passports as valid forms of ID … WHAT!!! A government issued United States of America that CLEARLY states I am 23!!! You don’t accept that!!! Absurd. But I opt for a pink lemonade and we decide to order food anyway. I went with oysters and shrimp, but they were out of oysters! For a place that is supposed to serve seafood? I don’t get it. So we left, didn’t even get to try the food or drinks which is a shame, looked like a cool place.

This is a must for Ocean City! There are several locations. Do not be discouraged by the seating inside(few tables) you can carry out sit on the boardwalk and people watch. I tend to sit inside, the service is friendly and quick. My server was Nikki. Food is extremely affordable and you get alot of meat in your sandwich. I tend to stay away from red meat; however, I have to eat the Open Pit Beef on a kaiser bun. The BBQ is delicious original or sweet. The menu has a great selection. Food is warm and always delicious. The décor is interesting to look at while waiting on your food(which is out within minutes). 2 big sandwiches with tax less than $ 17.00, deal! Place to go when on the boardwalk. Happy Eats :) Rated 4 stars because I have to try more items on the menu, although the several times me and my family have eaten there, I have always been satisfied. My friend(a little picky) ate there yesterday for the first time(Turkey sandwich) and she loved the flavor and couldn’t believe the generous portion(Yes, she ate all of it). She wanted to order another sandwich for later.

The food here was ok, not bad but I wouldn’t come back for more. The server was attentive but we felt like they were pushing us out the door. Our appetizers and meals were brought out at the same time, followed very shortly after by the check. I know it’s a small place with very little seating but they also offer take out so I don’t see what the rush is all about.

The Bourbonize speciality sandwich was fantastic! The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and was happy to accommodate my vegetarian mother. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxed place to have a great sandwich on the boardwalk, this is it.

Really average. I got a pit beef with cheese and onions. The meat was tender, but lacking in flavor. I actually prefer Arby’s, sad as that is. My wife got boiled shrimp and raw oysters, and they were just ok. It wasn’t horrible, but I feel like I should have tried a different pit beef place.

Fantastic Roast Beef. Boardwalk cuisine at it’s best :) Server was friendly and fun and we even bought extra sandwiches to take home — they are that good.

This is a little hole in the wall at the honky tonk end of the boardwalk but our waitress was very pleasant and helped us navigate the variations on Baltimore pit beef. Never had it before, now I’m a fan.

more like 2.5 stars. this is a pretty standard place to be on a boardwalk. I haven’t eaten much of the restaurant fare in OC but compared to what you can usually find in this kind of setting(beach, boardwalk, unhealthy) it’s nothing too mind-blowing. I came here over the weekend with a group of 4 during a mini getaway and it was around lunch time. I ordered the half pound of shrimp and I’m pretty sure this shrimp was frozen then defrosted. it was really difficult to peel which shouldn’t happen if it was fresh, right? but for only &10 it was tolerable. I didn’t try the pit sandwiches, which seems to be the big sellers, but it looked really good. the loaded fries were definitely loaded. the pickled jalapeños on top were great! service was great. the place was really small. food was cheap. all around, it was your average dive restaurant/bar.

While walking the boards today, I tried to figure out what I wanted for lunch. Guido’s burritos was mobbed and every other food place seemed to sell funnel cake and ice cream. Finally I came across Bull on the Beach. I ordered the steamed shrimp(½ lb) and side of fries. Everything was made fresh and my shrimp were left plain(as I asked for). My server was friendly and attentive as well. If I want seafood on the boardwalk, I’d probably be back!

This is the original location. I remember coming here years ago as a kid. They always had the best roast beef. I have to admit it has been at least 5 years since I have stopped in here. Last weekend, a group of 5 of us came in. The place seemed a lot smaller, but I don’t know if that is just my imagination. I had the open pit beef and it was amazing. A huge pile of sliced roast beef, on top of bread, smothered with gravy. It was better than I remembered. The service was very friendly and quick. We were all done eating and out of there in 20 minutes. One of my friends had the BBQ beef and said it also was good, but I think he was envious of our plates!

Absolutely a classic. A real Ocean City Institution. The Bull — The downtown Bull, is a righteous feed bag. Every year in the Spring, I have my buddy down, inevitably we stay out & drink too much… Hungover, the next morning, my friend always insists on walking the boards. This is usually my first full walk of the year, I like to start North and move South, by the time I reach 2nd street Bull: A beef based sanctuary, The Temple of caramelized Carne. A Chunky beef and ham hacienda! I am ready to rock! I order pretty simple, Both Ham and Beef thin sliced on Kaiser. with the mandatory horseradish & Au Jus. I like extra crisp fries & unsweetened Iced Tea. It’s Delicious!

I don’t give a lot of 5 star reviews, but Bull on the Beach has absolutely phenomenal pit beef sandwiches. I was surprised to have such great food at a small, hole-in-the-wall joint on the OC Boardwalk. The service was great too and I made some small talk with one of the chefs while he cooked on the open pit. Very nice place — definitely worth a stop for lunch while you’re enjoying the rays on the beach.

If you read a lot of my reviews, it becomes apparent that I love grilled chicken sandwiches. The Bull on the Beach makes a really good grilled chicken sandwich. I will definitely eat here again the next time I’m in Ocean City. I also plan to try their burgers, which look really good.

Nabbed the first booth with an ocean view(there’s only one), were served swiftly and treated to the best food on the boardwalk. Highly recommend the fried flounder sandwich and the steamed shrimp. Quality grub minus tourist pricing; so happy we stopped in! Oh, and whoever was in charge of the music on Friday, June 14th, at around 5:30−6PM… you’re the 5th star in this review.
