DRY 85 OC

Food was very good. We had to give them a try and wasn’t disappointed. The beef short ribs were heavenly. They building is very nice and decor was cool. The location is very convenient and parking was good for the area. We will definitely go back again. They are seasonal so be sure to check the hours and dates online or call them. Greta place for food and drinks

I was a bit disappointed because this place looked very promising. My seasonal Old Fashion and Manhattan both were a three. Both missing the expertise and small touches of craft cocktails the flight and general bourbon selection was great. Food was just ok mixing again the small things to push over top. Mac and cheese had one seasoned shrimp with sprinkles of frozen unflavored.

When the stakes are this high in Ocean City with tons of options, Dry 85 was subpar.

We ordered the spicy street corn tots and fried pickles for apps. Ribs were tasty and the Dry 85 burger was good. The chicken and waffles were very dry (maybe that’s why they named it Dry 85) and the shrimp and grits were bland and watery.

Ending on a positive were the drinks and service. Ethan was our server and he was polite. Drinks ordered were a couple of old fashions, Pinot Grigio and the “Sage is just a number”. I would have ordered my go to, espresso martini, but with our experience, I didn’t have the confidence in ordering hoping that it would be good.

Might need to try the Annapolis location, but overall, would not return.
