    Seafood platter
    Jan R.

    So good!!! Even though they did not have crabs because of the craziness in the world, we enjoyed a family dinner. Everyone loved their meals and we were given a private room for our group which was thoughtful. We had the soft shell crab sandwich. It was great. Also we shared a fried seafood dish. So good!!!

    One of my favorite diners ever. AND Smith island cakes are a real treat!!!

    After six or seven times here in the last two years and three or four other times within the last three years it's time to write a review. Delmar diner is just what it says, it is a diner. For Diners it's five star all the way because of its varied menu and it's daily specials. I've eaten here as a solo and been treated really well. But most of the time I've eaten either with my SO or with a bevy of family members. Today It was a family event with six hungry diners on a cold winter day. We had a great server who was training another server and neither of them missed a beat. Other times we've had other servers and it's always been great service. The six hungry eaters here today ordered exclusively off the specials menu and we ate roast turkey with stuffing and mashed potatoes, a flounder sandwich that when I looked at it I could not believe how big the piece of flounder was. It was hanging off the roll. All of these entrées included soup and we all choose the Maryland crab soup which was a creamy, crabby delight. Two of us had a hamburger platter. The age group was 15 and 16, and 38 to 62. Everybody was extremely happy. I think the reason the food is so good here and the service so kind is because the owner is on site for a long time each day. That truly makes a difference. So the next time I'm headed to Salisbury or Ocean city Maryland there's no way I can avoid stopping here for a meal.

    We stopped here after a long time having skipped this lil diner. It appears the design of the menu has changed. The food was good. We both ordered creamed chipped beef. I added scrapple. We both ordered well done hash browns...we both got mad and hot potatoes. Some bites were still rawish. The creamed chipped beef was good. The scrapple was crispy. The coffee was fresh. Our waitress was Marilyn friendly, fast and on it. So...some might fault the waitress. Would you check your tickets before bringing food out to ensure no issues or would you just trust the cook was handling it? 3 stars because of the potatoes . 4 if they had been cooked as ordered.

    Been here a few times. Service had always been good although the last time, I wasn't impressed by the host. My server Kaylin (I think) was really nice. She was kind and attentive without being overbearing. Food was good! Always a great bargain

    Double fried pork chops....disgusting

    I so was hoping this would be a win since it is so close to my house, but time and time again it has proved me wrong. Not sure why I keep subjecting myself to this. Other than the soup and fried chicken nothing else is good and somewhat pricey. Tonight I ordered the double fried pork chops and ended up having to come home and cook as I threw the platter away. The pork chops were nothing but a thick breading with no seasoning what so ever. Best part was the baked potato but was only given one small butter. The zucchini and onions with carrots could have been cooked longer, the vegetable beef soup that came with the meal was too salty so I had to throw out and even the crackers it came with were old and stale.

    Came in here for the second time with my mom after having a decent breakfast meal with my in-laws in December. We ordered the Chesapeake Fries and a chicken salad sandwich to split between us. After getting our "steak fries with crab dip" the outlook for the meal looked grim. The "steak fries" were really burnt potato logs covered in unmelted cheese and what seemed to be leftover cream of crab soup. Once the waitress brought out our sandwich, it had almost an ammonia smell to it to the point where we thought it was actually tuna fish. The waitress kindly took it back but still charged us for the sides ( 1/3 we did not get). Probably would come back here for breakfast but the lunch specials are not worth the stomachache.

We started with the shrimp salad on toast points, and I had an outstanding espresso martini. The appetizer was tasty, although it was very creamy such that I could not visibly recognize the shrimp. For dinner, I ordered the seafood Alfredo, and my wife ordered the market-price "Lump Crabcake" entrée. The Alfredo was very good, although the scallops were bay scallops rather than sea scallops, and for the price I expected a little more seafood. Her entrée included vegetables, while I had to order mine separately as an additional side. The biggest disappointment was the crabcakes. Despite being promoted as "lump crabcake," they appeared to be mostly filler with finely shredded crab, with perhaps 15% lump crabmeat. The flavor was good, but not exceptional, and I found the name of the entrée misleading. I am accustomed to a lump crabcake being predominantly lump crab. For dessert, we shared the bread pudding, which seemed unsure whether it wanted to be bread pudding or apple pie. It was fine, but not especially memorable. Overall, we enjoyed the atmosphere, received excellent service, and thought much of the food was good to very good. However, the crabcakes were quite disappointing, especially given the description and market price. Our bill before tip came close to $150, which was a bit of a shock considering the quality and portions. Calvin and the espresso martini were definite highlights, but the crabcakes did not live up to expectations.

They have a good selection of beer and I tried the Grapefruit Shine which I really enjoyed. I had the Ultimate Chicken Sandwich. It was a fried chicken breast on a roll with bacon, cheese and Old Bay aioli. Three of us ordered this and we all thought it was really tasty and my husband enjoyed his Hot Honey Chicken sandwich. But be warned it is messy. So yes food was good so why the four stars instead of five unfortunately it was our service. Even though we ordered our appetizer, a Bavarian pretzel ahead of time it did not come out until our meal. And yes this can be timing from the kitchen. But we hardly saw our server, her section for the evening was so spread out that she was not attentive to us. We will still go back just hoping our service will be better.

And because we are a Responsible Professional Company we were on-site 15 hours early. Imagine my delight when I saw that the receiving building shared a lot with a brewery teehee. Truck stop tacos for dinner? - I think not. Now in other reviews you know how I feel about breweries without food. Not the case here - pizzas, sandos, pretzels, salads, wings. And the beer list?? Multiple sours for me, hazy IPAs for he, and pumpkin flavored beer to usher in autumn. After that huge setup all we got were fries and beer lmao. The point is we COULD HAVE gotten more if we wanted it. Fries were hot and crispy. The pumpkin beer was incredible. And of note, the actual restaurant space was huge. With Rona numbers on the rise, we opted to sit outside on the huge patio. All in all, def worth a visit especially if you're in nearby Assateague or similar attractions and are tired of crabs lol.

Portions were on the large side so we had leftovers for a full takeaway meal. The egg rolls were new to us - corned beef dipped in a mustard sauce was an unusual, yet pleasant appetizer. They arrived hot with the interior cheese melted. Good. Side of broccoli was cooked to a soft texture - this is normal in many restaurants, yet I prefer crunchy raw so will ask for that next time. Service: Emily appeared frequently enough so we did not feel neglected. She's obviously experienced as we observed her navigating an increasingly busy clientele. Surprised for being after normal lunch time - 1:00 PM. She seemed to agree with our menu choices by sayiing "Good Choice." on our selections, Ambiance: Decor reminiscent of an Irish pub. It's NOT a college-student hangout by appearances and Emily's description. Surprising given how close this place is to the University. Tables and chairs, and booths appeared clean. Restroom was accessible, clean and well supplied. Mix of background music from Billy Joel to Irish titles. Ample free parking in front lot. Overall, a top rating due to a surprisingly pleasant experience offering unique to Salisbury food and atmosphere. Few notes: 1. Backs of booths are shared. Thus, you can feel neighboring diner shifting seats or leaning back. Like a kid kicking your airplaine seat back behind you, it's a minor irritation IF done once or twice. 2. Female servers need not wear minikilts and shorts to attract business in my opinion. Their uniform, if required, brings into question whether it's a family place. Regular length kilts would add suitable authentic atmosphere IMO.
