      Overall nice experience! We came here base on google reviews & weren't disappointed.
      I ordered Shrimp burger with lettuce wrapped; sautéed mushrooms & onions, fresh jalapeños, avocado cucumbers & pepper jack cheese.
      It was so filling, I couldn't finish it.
      As appetizers we had Boil Shrimp and the portion was great. (Good enough for 3) they have 20% during happy hour 2-6 which is pretty good.
      My husband had Lamb Burger and it was very
      juicy & had a wonderful flavor.
      Skip the French Fries chips are way better!!!!

      This place has gone completely downhill. I enjoyed a burger here 2 summers ago and it was one of the most delicious burgers I'd ever had. I was excited to return at the end of my Ocean City beach weekend to relive the deliciousness but was really let down on that expectation. I should have known something was off when I walked in and the place smelled disgusting and was visibly dirty. Even though it was the height of the day and hot outside, I had to sit outside it smelt so awful inside. I built a custom burger with bison. I ordered it on the paper checklist with guinness cheddar and to be cooked medium well. The burger arrived overdone and dry with a smidgen of cheese. I was so looking forward to this burger, but did not even more than half of it. This was my last stop before getting in the car to head home. So sad I wasted a vacation meal here.

      I did let the waiter know about the burger being completely overdone and showed him that there was no juiciness to the burger let alone pinkness that should be in medium well. He apologized but did not offer to replace it or offer a refund of any kind. I will not be returning and would urge anyone else not to stop here. The bathrooms were also not cleaned well. I visited on Monday July 3.

      My friend and I went to the art festival "Art X" in Northside Park on the bay for music, food, art, and live music. However, had difficulty finding food in any of the food trucks being offered at the festival. A quick walk from the park was" Abbey Burger Bistro" and off we went. We almost walked out because the smell of old stale beer from the night before smelled so bad. Sat at the bar and decided to look past the old pub smell.
      They have a crazy amount of burgers to choose from like the peanut butter burger, duck burger, crab dip burger, bacon/egg burger, fried green tomato burger... so many choices that I can't decide and you can even build your own burger. I go for the "Cherrywood smoked angus" the burger was delicious I will give 5 stars, however, the what ever you call those things that came with it are awful-homemade potato chips. So crunchy and burnt you could break your teeth off. The bartender brought out 2 ramekins of sauce to dip the burnt crunchy potato chips in. LOL Giving 5 stars for the burgers and just beware of the potato chips put in a deep fryer and burnt.

      Good experience, good food, friendly staff.
      It took forever for someone to come outside and serve us after we've been seated by the hostess, but overall it was a nice dinner. Burgers were great. I had the A10 with tots, and my friends had the Bison burger which was better than mine and the other one had the Baltimore Burger (i think) the one with crab dip which was better than the Bison Burger. We had some IPA beers , but they were ok.
      We will definitely try it again!

      What a great surprise.
      First the bar has a fabulous selection of beer.

      I give it 5 stars.
      Appetizers
      The crab tots are to die for, absolutely fabulous.
      The alligator bites were less that great but everything else quite makes up for it. It could have been the seasoning or something else but they were a pass for me.
      Kids Mac and cheese great
      Baltimore burger was great. I didn't have the house chips but others say they are great.
      Philly burger also great. Maybe could have had a little more onion on it but that's a personal preference.

      This is a great place to stop for a burger. Definitely kid friendly.

      please try this place

      This was a choice by review and I'm glad I pick it.
      I decide to try their Burgers and I went ahead and order a Kobe beef burger... it was a great tasting burger I paired with Swiss cheese, lettuce tomato raw onions mayo and mustard.... before I realized (which by the way is a very good size including the meat) it was gone for good ...
      I would like to say thank you to all of those that posted their reviews.
      And thank you Renee.

      Just the way I like it!

      So I order a burger called the AJ10 (created by Adam Jones). It came with tots. I asked for no lettuce, tomato, or mayo. The waitress told me she'd have to ring it in as a build your own burger because the cooks can't change anything but the bun or cheese on a specialty burger. Stupid, but whatever.

      So the bill comes and I was charged $3 for tots. I asked the waitress and said I thought that burger came with tots...it said so on the menu. She told me since she had to ring it in as a build your own, the tots were extra. And said it like it was ok. Now I'm annoyed. I said, well, my arguement would be, if the cooks were smart enough to read a ticket, they could've made it the way I asked. She said she'd ask the manager and he'd probably take it off.

      She comes back and said they took the tots off and they'll give it to me this time since it was my first time there. I said well, again, there's nothing to give me. I ordered the AJ10, it comes with tots. She gets into with me again about the build your own. So I again said it's not my fault the cooks are simpletons.

      Look...it's not the $3...it's the principal of the thing. I could wipe my ass with $3 and it wouldn't matter to me. I'm gonna drop $400 in two weeks at Gordon Ramsay Steak and not think twice about it. And you're gonna harangue me for $3. Ok, I won't ever come back and spend my money elsewhere. Money I have...patience for ignorance I don't.

      Best burgers in OC. Tons of different types of meats from bison to turkey to "impossible" (vegan option) to camel (no worries, they have good ol angus beef as well). Build your own burger or choose from the specialties. For those who aren't big burger people, they have salads and soups and wraps as well! Great bar with fresh crushes and TVs around for sports lovers. Great staff and live music out back. Love it!

      Not bad but nothing over the top. My two complaints are 1. No Kid's Menu Burgers
      2. Bun was not toasted and wound up falling apart halfway through the burger.

      Like I said, not bad.. great atmosphere and nice selection on the menu but nothing over the top.

      We went here on a suggestion from a friend. It's in a pretty weird location attached to a Holiday Inn. There is a back deck which is up against a very large park. We sat there, but forewarning there is not much shade. The server was very friendly and helpful and the food was very good, especially for the price. We both got the Baltimore burger - a burger topped with crap dip and the whole thing was really tasty including the handmade patty. We will be adding this place as a go to for a good nite for a good price.
