A 40 ounce “Fish Bowl” margarita from Tequila Mockingbird in Ocean City, Maryland. Will had to tackle this one—I prefer ’em on the rocks. This place does not fool around with drinks. Best, strongest margaritas I’ve ever had, hands down. The gummy worms were a nice touch. March 2017.

Travel Guide MD: Berlin, Will Takes on the “Pipeline”, Mini Golf Madness, and More
Yes, we actually did more than eat on this trip to Ocean City, Maryland. Well, not much more. Just like in December, staying in a popular summer vacation town during the off-season has its perks. No traffic, minimal waits in restaurants, and the chance to play a round of mini golf in under an hour….
Travel Guide MD: An Alamo You Don’t Want to Remember
Please note: I have NEVER stayed here. You may now proceed. I needed to see it up close. One week every summer of my entire childhood was spent in Ocean City, Maryland. On the way in, we would always pass a motel on 50 named the Alamo. A normal person would probably not even pay any…
Travel Guide MD: BJ’s on the Water (Ocean City)
We ended up here by accident. Why this was is cause for another post, but everything happens for a reason. I am glad fate brought us to BJ’s on the Water. I ate here once as a child, when I was about 13. I did not remember anything except sitting outside by the bay. This…
Coming Up on 100 Restaurant Reviews
Tomorrow, I will be posting my 100th restaurant review. I first started doing food write-ups in the spring of 2015 on my personal blog after looking to try something new. This past fall, I decided to move all of my food and drink writing to a separate website, which I called Eating New Jersey. There…
Travel Guide MD: Tequila Mockingbird (Ocean City)
When you have to wait an hour on a Wednesday night in December, you know the food is going to be good. Tequila Mockingbird may have the greatest restaurant name ever. They were also slammed when we ate there a few nights ago. It was as if everyone in Ocean City was getting dinner at…
Travel Guide MD: Thrasher’s French Fries and the Ocean City Boardwalk
They’ve been on almost every food and travel show in TV history. Thrasher’s has been a staple on the famous Ocean City boardwalk since 1929. Even in all my years visiting here as a kid, I never went to Thrasher’s. Well, that changed the other day. I just had to finally give them a try….
Travel Guide MD: Decatur Diner (Ocean City)
They have something on the menu called the “Pipeline”. When I ordered it, I was asked if I was absolutely sure I wanted a full instead of a half. I asked the waitress to elaborate further. Her description ended up being spot on, but in my mind, I could not possibly conceive it to be…
Travel Guide MD: The Crab Bag (Ocean City)
Talk about a seafood marathon. After eating way too much fried food that afternoon but still in the mood for seafood that night, we decided to give The Crab Bag a try. I had read that they had the best crabs in Ocean City. Their menu is actually gigantic. There are more choices of various seafood…
Travel Guide MD: Dumser’s Drive-In (Ocean City)
There wasn’t a healthy thing on the menu. One of their sundaes is even titled “Dieter’s Revenge”. But when you’re on vacation, who cares? There may be a drive-in during the summer, but for now, we ate in their large dining room. It was sleek and clean. The menu offered a large selection of sandwiches…
Travel Guide MD: Ocean City in December
I know someone out there must be thinking, “Why the hell would you go to a place like Ocean City, Maryland in December?” Well, I’ll admit that’s a fair question. I have been coming to this location since I was a child. It was our family’s place every single summer until I was about 13…
