Paul Revere Smorgasbord

I lived in OC for two summers and let me tell you, this place is legend. If you are feeling saucy, drop $ 12.99 for a gastronomical mind f&$@. Is the food bad? You bet! Think mountains upon mountains of gloriously deep fried food! Think piles of dishes that spent the last 24 months in a can, screaming «Dear God, let me be free!» Sweet lord, it was glorious! I highly recommend this place in sort of the way I would recommend a matinée survival horror movie: come early and prepare to be shocked!

Honestly do not understand the bad reviews here. I had an awesome experience.
The buffet was extremely large and had a great variety. The service was good. Everything I had tasted good and I will definitely return next time I am at OC.

This place is absolute garbage! There was literally something wrong with every food item I picked up. The pot roast had NO flavor, the rice was more water than rice, the clam chowder tasted like room temperature canned soup. It was awful. Decent price for a buffet on the boardwalk but don’t be fooled cause you will be disappointed. My bill was like 50 $ for two people and an order of crab legs. If they didn’t add the tip on to the bill I guarantee nobody would tip because of the food. The place stinks too, It smells awful in there, on top of all the bland food, like really? When I first went in we were standing at the podium and the two workers were standing by the door talking, they noticed we were there waiting but finished their conversation first while we’re there waiting. Very rude too and hard to understand. Will definitely never be returning. How is this place still in business.

The only good thing about this place is the price. The food is dry. Lacks taste. Don’t waste you time or money.

I was very disappointed with the food, I had come before to eat and there was more quality of food but today I was very un satisfied with the selection of food, the food seemed burnt and too cooked, also false advertisement when it said seafood where is that exactly didn’t see but clams and fish. I like the attention yes of the staff but I would recommend fixing the food choices I would not recommend this place it’s pricey and not worth my money :(

We decided to give this a shot, we were looking for a quick dinner with our 2 young children (2 and 3) and they were free. It was 13.99 a person so I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular. It wasn’t the worst food I’ve ever had but was far far far from the best. A decent selection, plenty for the kids as well. Once we had drinks (a milk, soda, apple juice and 2 beers) the bill came to $ 54… I can’t complain too much about a $ 54 dollar dinner for 4

I’m contemplating on giving this place 3 or 4 stars. For the most part, I liked it and will probably return.
I live in Southern Maryland which is about 3 hours from Ocean City. Despite the 3 hour drive, I go to OC quite often just for the day. Meaning we wake up early, drive the 3 hours, enjoy the beach, shop, eat somewhere, and then drive 3 hours home. As much as I would love to, OC is not the place for me to spend lots of money on food being that I go there just for one day.
So I went to OC yesterday with my fiancé, and he’s very hard to please when it comes to eating out. I mentioned this place to him, which was $ 13.99, a pretty good price for a buffet. Walking in, we were greeted and helped to our table. All the food looked good and fresh, it looked clean. We went to the bathroom, which had a strong sewer smell. Luckily, we were seated far from the bathroom.
The food was really good. I enjoyed the turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing especially. My favorite however, were the steamed mussels. My fiancé and I both had about 4 plates each full of just mussels. They tasted amazing! I tried the pizza, pasta, and some other items which weren’t so great, but I was full and felt satisfied from the other food. I think I got my money’s worth. For dessert, I had the apple pie or whatever it was, and it was also delicious! Now, the annoying part is they already take a tip out of your check. Our server was not very good at keeping the table clear and refilling our drinks, so that kind of sucks. However, the list of 1 star reviews this place has surprises me, and like I said my fiancé (and myself, in a way) are hard to please when it comes to restaurants, especially buffets.
We will probably return the next time we’re in OC, I’m already craving the mussels.

This place was terrible never eat there the food was slaty and dry and my stomach hurt a little after

Absolute garbage! Everything in bland! Walking down the isle looking for something to eat and I lost my appetite! Everything looks as if it was just heated up and thrown out there! The mashed potatoes looked dried out, the pizza was burnt and dry, the brownie is a clump of undercooked dough! I don’t recommend this place to anyone!
$ 13.99 for all you can eat with 15% tip automatically added to the bill. This is the biggest ripoff in OCMD!!!

Can’t imagine how this place has managed to stay in business for so long. Yes, it’s buffet, yes, I realize you’re not going to get a 5 star meal, however; the place is grubby, the food looks like it’s been sitting there forever. Ew.

We were excited to eat here. We were hot and tired and wanted a place to sit down and get a good variety of food since we had children with us. We were not expecting top notch food but the bar looked horrible and I was worried about feeding my kids the food. I started at the salad bar and everything was old and slimy. I just couldn’t bring myself to eat any of it. The worse thing about the place was the stench. It smelled like terrible body odor everywhere you went. I thought I was just standing to an employee that smelled but the stench was embedded into this place. We walked out and will not ever step foot back in here.

Run. Yes it is a low priced buffet so do not expect much more then deep fried junk. Place is filthy, staff is poor, and food is disgusting. Do not go, you are warned.

Pack the Pepto if you are going to this gastronightmare. I now hate Paul Revere. If you eat here, you will be yelling, «The diarrhea is coming. The diarrhea is coming.» Absolutely foul! First, it smelled like urine. Hey, management, don’t use ammonia-​based cleaners and your place won’t smell like pee pee. Second, if you have to study a meatball to discern its origin, it ain’t a meatball. The mashed potatoes and onion rings were literally the only good things there. The ribs were unidentifiable. How can something be so sopping wet and still be the driest thing you have ever tried to chew? The hostess was a B. The waiter was nice but looked like he felt sorry for us. The salad bar is okay up until the suger-​laden deli salads and sugar-​laden dressings. All I wanted was a little low carb dinner to make up from the delights of the Boardwalk, but I don’t want a carrot so dried up that it is no longer orange. The lettuce needs to not be brown or old.
The décor was actually kind of interesting to me. My husband hated it.
We went to CVS, got Pepto, and went back to our room and did shots. We were planning on doing some shots and having some fun, but this was not really what we had in mind. Close up this monstrosity and allow a healthy, fun, interesting buffet to replace. G-​R-​O-​S-​S!!!

This place is awful. Just terrible. I didn’t have high expectations due to the fact that it’s buffet style food and it’s only $ 12.99.
The whole set up is weird. First, we couldn’t even get the hostess to make eye contact with us and after about a minute or two of awkwardly standing by the door, the hostess Acknowledged us. She gave us a slip of paper and told us to go get a salad. It was very strange. We went in and grabbed salads since it’s the first thing you pass. Then somebody showed us to our seats. They clearly force the salad on customers because it is inexpensive. The employees were okay, it’s not there fault that whoever decided to set up this restaurant wasn’t making any sense.
We received our drinks, one of which had a fingernail in it. So we needed to get a new one. I kept telling myself it’s only $ 12.99, so don’t expect much. The food was terrible. The inside of my baked potato was brown. The «salmon» tasted like a hush puppy that soaked up old dirty oil. The taco bar was terrible. I truly believe that no cook at this restaurant puts even the least bit of effort into the food. There is no way people are in that kitchen worried about the end product, and the food comes out the way it does. So we shook it off and ate what we could.
The worst part, by far had to be when we were leaving and realized the total for the bill was $ 75, for only four people. The drinks are not included in the price and they are quite expensive. They add in gratuity, and then of course tax. I can honestly say I was shocked by the bill total. There was not one single good thing about this place.

This is a buffet for $ 12.99 and there are even coupons out there to bring the price down more so take it down a notch with the insults. If you are in OC on vacation you will most likely want to go to a few high end restaurants. If you are smart and want to stay on a budget while you are here you’ll want to find a few places that aren’t going to break the bank and this is a perfectly acceptable option. Even if you just go for a few trips to the salad bar, which has a nice selection, and finish with a dessert you are still ahead of the game. Lighten up and just have fun… you’re at the beach!

The food is buffet style. Have to be flexible and selective. Fried chicken was decent. Roast beef was like rubber. Our Eastern European waitress seemed very disinterested, lacked mastery of the English language and only came to the table twice. I had to chase her down to get the check. I think the auto gratuity of %12.99 is crap for the lack of service. Bottom line, there are better spots to spend your money.

I would love to give this place zero stars if I could. This place is disgusting! And so dirty. This place needs a deep cleaning! My whole party and I got sick from the food and were so disgusted. It was like eating rotten and moldy food from a very old trash can. The owners and managers should be embarrassed and this place should’ve closed years ago! This place should be burned to the ground and rebuilt and bought out by new owners who care what kind of
Food they serve and how clean it is. This place is an embarrassment to ocean city!

I guess I agree with most of the reviews on the page in that I didn’t expect much when I went. My wife grew up going to ocean city boardwalk every year and wanted to go back with our kids and grandchildren. I will not be running to this dining establishment ever again. If you like substandard food in a dark dining room then this is the place for you. The food was bad at best and they automatically add the tip to the bill. 15% is outrageous for a tip when someone removes plates and fills the water and writing the bill up wrong three times.

Everyone says this place sucks but then again it’s a buffet, don’t expect 5 star food. Don’t say the staff is hard to understand cuz then so are half the other people in ocean city. They’re nice people, a very unique atmosphere, and food that’s not bad. I like it mostly for the atmosphere but then again I have a psycho colonial obsession. If you’re not a prude then I reccomend going. 13 bucks for all you can eat dessert and everything is good to me!

Garbage! This food was terrible! I’m not even sure it was safe for consumption! I’ve never eaten at a buffet and had the food be LESS than lukewarm!
So incredibly disappointed that my family and I are out $ 50 because of this place.
— Dark & dank
— workers stood around and caught them a few times watching us eat.
— staff isn’t very friendly
— food was gross and cold
Couldn’t imagine finding a worse place to eat.
Save your money and if nothing else, eat something (anything!) better on the boardwalk.
