Bourbon Street on the Beach is an absolute VIBE!
I stopped in for a pre-party dinner before heading to Winterfest of Lights (literally right across the street), and this spot did not disappoint. The ambiance was festive, the cover band was amazing, and the drinks were perfect—especially the Season Mule!
The food? Outstanding. I normally don’t even eat oysters, but the char-broiled oysters were so good I ended up eating the entire plate. The cup of gumbo, jambalaya, and stuffed mushrooms with crabmeat were all seasoned beautifully and full of flavor. Every dish tasted fresh, rich, and authentically prepared.
Both the hostess and our server were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, making the experience even better. From start to finish, it was a whole vibe—great energy, great food, great service.
Highly recommend Bourbon Street on the Beach for anyone visiting Ocean City. I’ll definitely be back!

Went here to see Jimmy Charles, bought tickets in advance and showed up an hour and 50 minutes before the show. Never got to see him or hear him
Venue allowed anyone by 17:00 to enter for free, so they filled up the bar area and All of the tables.
Then they had a dining room off to the left and out of view of the event, and that was filled too. Then they have another rear dining room back at the restrooms which is where we were seated. There was No view obviously of the event and when the band started playing, you could only make out a low base; like walking up to a car with the radio on, but all of the windows up. Couldn't make out any words or rhythm, a soft dinner table conversation could easily be understood.
We asked about being able to see the show when it started and the woman seating people said it didn't matter; because that entire area was filled to capacity by 16:30 anyway. So all the locals enjoyed a free concert while the ticket holders sat in a rear dining area and could not attend. There was no room to stand between the dining tables and the bar without blocking their views and I was told by security that I could not stand there and block the aisles that it was a safety thing. So we bought our share of alcohol & food, and still paid for concert tickets that we could not use. I understand that with a setup like that; while running a bar and restaurant you don't want to turn paying customers away. However, you should make it clear that before the show starts, ticket holders will be seated in the concert area. So, spent a bunch of money there and still didn't get to see Jimmy Charles.
That's Flarked Up.

We have been to this place 3 times. Every time we have been the food has been GREAT! We had the jambalaya and the blackened rockfish tacos. (Got the tacos 2 of the times because they are THAT good!) I would recommend the food to anyone.
HOWEVER now for the cons. All 3 times we have went the service has been horrible. We sat in the dining room twice, the most recent time we sat at a table in the bar area to maybe have a different experience. All 3 times it took at least 20 mins to even be greeted or given a menu. The most recent visit seemed to only be staffed with 1 girl for all the tables. It was only my husband and I and everything took forever. I love the food here but I probably won't return because the service is just horrible. Atmosphere is nothing fancy. They turned the lights way down mid meal (it was like 6pm-ish). Tables were sticky. They did have a good band that night.
