The Sterling Tavern

The service was wonderful and friendly and helpful. Then the food was simply amazing they make so much from scratch including their ranch and blue cheese. I might have only gotten the Cobb salad but from the perfectly grilled chicken to the fantastic homemade ranch to the perfectly crispy bacon it was truly in a class of its own. Just visiting area and might be best food I have had while here. Amazing

Food was delicious, so much to choose from. The oysters on the half shell, very tasty! We had the beer cheese and pretzels also. We definitely enjoyed the food and atmosphere!

I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant. It’s a neat restaurant in an old building that used to be a house. The food was very good and service was prompt and friendly. Recommended: Pretzels with beer cheese, onion rings, Reuben sandwich, Margherita pizza.

Get the rockfish and chips! It was sooo good and a huge portion. My boyfriend really enjoyed his burger and onion rings. The fried shrimp app wasn't our favorite but only because the portion felt very small for the price but they tasted fine. We can't wait to come back and try more things here. They also have a very good orange crush.

Food is always amazing and servers are very nice. If you are ordering drinks make sure you have a horizontal license or they will not serve you. No chance of having a 21st birthday drink here!

We’ve been wanting to try this place for a while now and I am so glad we finally did! They make their own beer cheese which is featured in a few menu items and it’s delicious. The menu has a lot of diverse options, I almost couldn’t decide what to choose because everything sounded so good. They have a nice happy hour as well. Staff were super friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back!

We stopped by this place for dinner and were NOT disappointed! The building is cool as its not your typical restaurant building. We sat inside but the outdoor patio looked really cozy! The service was fantastic and very friendly! The food was great! We had the shrimp, crabby fries and MD crab soup. They had live music upstairs and our son loved going up there to watch the music. If you want something out of the normal OC options, I highly recommend this place!

Our first time eating here and it did not disappoint. The service was fantastic, food was fresh and the beer was ice cold. Our waitress was very friendly and even interacted with our daughter. It was a very pleasant experience, and we will definitely be back. Thank you!

Our group of 17 arrived for our lunch reservation and were happily greeted at the door by our host. We were seated in their great comfortable and airy space upstairs with plenty of room for our group. When seated, the manager came to our table to introduce himself and get to know who we were which really was really nice as we felt looked after. The Server extremely attentive and quick. We didn't have to wait long for anything we ordered, drinks or food. As for the food, everyone enjoyed the food and drink very much so and when we are back in Berlin, MD we'll be sure to stop by again. Thank you management and staff for making our lunch experience at your restaurant so enjoyable, we sang a Happy Birthday song not once but twice for our members. Cheers!

We had a great experience here with our big, young family. Waitress was SO friendly and not annoyed or impatient with our kids ordering for themselves. The food was impressive and delicious - crab burger, oyster po-boy, shrimp & grits - even the kids’ meals were tasty. Perfect for our dinner out on vacation!

Great food, service and atmosphere - huge parking lot right next door - cozy bar - plenty of table seating and heated outside deck seating as well. 5 stars!
Mac and cheese as shown was killer!

We had an excellent birthday lunch here. We got the redneck charcuterie board and the fried avocado with crab for our appetizers and both were so delicious. The beer cheese on that charcuterie board was so good and I don't even like avocados but somehow perfectly battered with Old Bay and crab meat, I do like avocados. The barbecue shrimp one bread was perfect in my opinion and my son really enjoyed the hot chicken sandwich. The homemade honey mustard that came with the sweet potato fries was some of the best I've ever tasted. The service was very attentive and the food came out fast. I thought the menu was very unique and had lots of menu items that I wanted to try. We will definitely eat here again.

The meals were excellent. The atmosphere was great. The service was great

Went out to dinner at this quaint restaurant in downtown Berlin. Old-fashoined ambiance. Friendly service. The Florida Reuben was probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Dagwood sandwich and crabby fries were delicious also. I'll definitely be going back!

Very large party that didn't have a reservation and we were treated with wonderful hospitality and excellent service Sandy and a great staff that made our evening most enjoyable

Definitely worth a visit. The food, service and ambiance are excellent. Designed with excellent taste, warn cozy atmosphere and full menu. The hamburger, "red neck" and chacouterie board had fantastic reviews from patrons. I ordered the scallop steak sandwich, which overflowed with scallops, peppers and onions. Delicious. I highly recommend a visit to restaurant and the cool town of Berlin.

Had an amazing Gluten Free lunch at Sterling Tavern last week! Courtney was very attentive and friendly! I had the Reuben sandwich on cauliflower flatbread. When I requested Gluten Free Onion Rings I was over joyed when Chef Jose exceeded my expectations and made a delicious GF version just for me! Wow, they were so good and you can’t imagine how appreciative I felt since I have never found any other restaurant to accommodate this request. Thank You So Much for a wonderful experience, I am a so grateful I found this Tavern and will be visiting often.

Had another delicious lunch at the Sterling Tavern. The crab fries are my favorite. Crispy shoestring fries with beer cheese sauce (perfect amount on the bottom so fries don't get soggy) and crabmeat on top. Also had a Cheese burger. Very good!! Even liked the coleslaw.
They have a great draft beer selection, and the beer is served ice cold. So refreshing.

We went for Father’s Day lunch and we were seated right away at a table of our choice. The bar and wait staff went out of their way to always check on us and give us whatever we needed without having to ask. The food was some of the best I’ve had around here with lots of awesome choices, the beer was also great.

Great location at Berlin Midtown! We had such a nice service. A girl called Lilly took care of our table, very welcoming and helpful, oysters were great, flounder and rockfish were also sensational, if you nearby I really recommend stopping by for some calm vibes.
