Meatloaf Entree
Matthew U.

On my way to Delaware Beaches I needed to stop and grab some food. I wasn't in the mood for fast food and I wasn't in the mood for a chain. Do a quick search while driving and I found this place. A diner felt right. Even though this place labelled itself as a diner, upon entry it gives off a sports bar feel instead. But what draws you back to it was the food. The food, if ordering the right thing, reminds you of diner. When I entered I was greeted and was going to be led to a booth, on the way there I asked if it would be better to sit at the bar instead of taking up a whole booth to myself. Once sidled up to the bar I looked over the menu, it's a bit long, but you will definitely find something to satiate your appetite. I went with water for my drink and ordered the Baked Meatloaf Entree. This comes served with brown gravy and two sides and choice of soup of the day or salad. I opted for the salad and asked a few questions about the sides. The one I was definitely going with was the mashed potatoes, but I wanted to know what the vegetable for the day was. My server needed to find out before she let me know. It was green beans. My meal came, missing one thing. The green beans. I wasn't really missing them. I started to dig into the meatloaf. You get three pieces of the meatloaf, mashed potatoes on the side, all of it covered with brown gravy. I was about halfway through my first piece of meatloaf and then the green beans came my way. They were basically what was presented, an afterthought. There wasn't much flavor to them, even after adding some salt. Paying was a bit weird. You are given your check at your seat but you have to go to the front door to pay. I was able to add a tip on at the end.

The food is tasty and the servings are big. The service was very friendly and the kitchen made our meals fast. The only possible nitpicking I could do was the wet tea was hot. We needed to get ice. The place is clean, spacious and there a nice bar area. Nice big TVs but not loud. Overall, I'd come back again. The price was great in this economy. We had the meatball parm sandwich, chicken cheesesteak and mozzarella sticks. All for about 35$.

Modern diner in a new commercial center in Denton, Maryland on the way to Delaware beaches. It appears clean, with dining area, as well as long counter and stools for solitary customers like me. My Patty Melt on Marble Rye was quite good, and I liked the added mushrooms tucked into the sandwich. I asked for medium finish, but while I received something closer to well done, it was still a tasty 'wich. They had an attractive pastry display, but not for someone trying to avoid sweets. Yet, the honeys behind the counter all in black, did carry that theme to extremes with abundant tats on most exposed skin. Appreciated their collective attitude and in-your-face Devil May Care! Go get 'em ladies!

Pasta Carbonara
Ren H.

I love this little diner tucked away in the plaza! Good portions of food, delicious for breakfast and lunch/dinner! Their homefries are some of the best I had! Their pasta carbonara is good it just has a little bit too much ham lol. I prefer more bacon. Still beats any diner I've eaten at in PA. Service is friendly.

Buffalo popcorn shrimp

This is my favorite place. The menu has more options than you can shake a fork at, both Breakfast and/or their Lunch/Dinner menu. I've had every hotdog combination they offer, all the sandwiches, each salad, especially "The Works", (these are no small salads). I can go on and on talking about their food. Today I ordered the Buffalo popcorn shrimp as my appetizer and it came out in a basket (oh shrimp yea!!!). Then I ordered a favorite, the Shoreway Burger with onion rings. This is topped with fried onions, roasted red peppers, and provolone cheese. You'll want 2 just because the first one was so good. The seating is comfortable too, all soft padded booths with some chairs (still comfy) or you can plant it at the bartop. They have a full bar, with plenty of large tvs for all your viewing pleasures. This family ran establishment makes me feel welcomed everytime from the owners to the staff. Oh my gosssh......desserts!!!!!! When you walk in...just glance to your 11:00. WOOOOO Lawdy, the dessert case has this heavenly glow to it that will suck you into it like the stare of Medusa. SO good!!! They also do this chicken orzo soup "muuuAH".in closing, I have a to-go menu that I am checking each item off as I go. Let those be my words of motivation . They ARE NOT open on Mondays but have plenty of parking when you do go every other day of the week, as they are in a strip mall. BUON APPETITO!!

This re-imagining of the 9 Central diner is great! Rarely a wait for a table after multiple visits, and the food gets better each and every time we go in. I prefer the breakfast menu, as I am a breakfast person. The scrapple fries are a knockout home run. Perfectly crispy, and lots of flavor. The service is always friendly and familiar, with smiles all around. I always look forward to my next meal here. I had to take 1 star off due to the horribly laid out parking lot. The spaces are small, and the lot is a nightmare to get out of.

Ham and cheese omelette, pancakes and scrambled eggs
Andrea B.

It doesn't look like much driving but past- but inside was cozy and full. The waitress was friendly, our orders came out fast. We were both very happy with our food, a ham and cheese omelette and a pancake stack. We will be back.

Love Tommy! We passed him on the way to the square and he greeted us with a "how are yous?" We…read moreknew we had to stop there on the way back to the car. So glad we did because We love Hot Dog Tommy! We were too full from eating earlier to try a hot dog but we can tell locals enjoy them by the way he welcomed people. We did get slushies which are made with pure cane sugar and delicious!

There are a few common sense accurate reviews of this place. Most are 5 star delusional. Maybe it…read morewas from a time long forgot but at around $10 a pop for pedestrian dirty water dogs? Fool me once, never again. The line is always down the block and this was the first time I went and didn't have to wait so I was so excited, but it did not live up to the hype. I got that chili cheese dog with mustard was decent but nothing to write home about. I got the summer dog, which is basically a mashed potato with the Work hotdog. It was cold. The cheese didn't even melt, and the main character is a lifeless wiener. I'm telling you take the trip to Maui dogs in Wildwood. They are 1000 times better and more flavorful and actually a couple of dollars cheaper. The staff here is pleasant, but I think they run the place. I'd be very nice too if people are standing in line hand over fist piecing me of $10 a dog.
