    Can't go wrong at fractured prune for a fresh hot donut made to order. Quick and friendly service in a cute little space. Stopped in with the kids and had a small sample of deliciousness.

    Woah may be the best donut I've had in a while. Even the plain donut is delicious. They make them fresh right in front of you. Tons to choose from and they offer coffee and sandwiches. Make sure to study the menu to figure out what you want before going. You can order online too. The owner was so nice, that alone is worth it to come back!

    What a great spot -- so underrated. This has a nice mix of the cake and apple cider donuts. My partner got the banana chocolate and I got the monkey donut 2 for $5-- they were so fresh and warm. Also, the banana chocolate iced latte was phenomenal. The owner seemed like a very nice and genuine guy & came to check on us as we tried the donuts. Loved it!

    Supposedly a cream donut.

    Service was so slow. Absolutely no flavor. Insane price for what I received. I don't mind paying for quality , but if this is the best OC has I feel sorry for them. Oh and they got the order wrong. If you are going to charge that much I expect perfection.

    I have long known Fractured Prune as a staple at the OCMD/DE beaches but noticed a few locations pop up in Jersey Shore a few years ago. After years of being loyal to our local shops I decided to try it out. First off, their menu is MASSIVE. Their donuts are similar to many fried donut shops down here where each variety starts as a fresh, hot, fried donut and is then topped with your specific order. However, I have never seen a menu this extensive. Inside, the shop is small but there is ample seating outside. They also travel pretty well and even taste a little better once they have cooled down a bit but more on that later. We ordered a half dozen donuts: Carnival (Honey Glaze, Rainbow Sprinkles), Lumberjack (Maple Glaze, Bacon, Cinnamon Sugar), Peppermint Patty (Mint Glaze, Chocolate Mini Chips), Twix (Chocolate Glaze, Graham Cracker and Caramel Drizzle), Strawberry Shortcake (Strawberry Glaze, Graham Crackers, Powdered Sugar), Vanilla Streusel (special - vanilla glaze w streusel topping). I'm not exaggerating when I say they were HOT. Maybe too hot... they honestly started to taste better as they cooled. These would be better to take home and enjoy in my opinion. All in all, I really enjoyed this place. It doesn't have the same atmosphere as Nauti Donuts or Browns but they are definitely great. The line also tends to be shorter so this is a good place to grab some on your way home!

    Never was a fan of donuts until I tried a fractured prune donut in Elizabethtown 12 years ago. Most amazing donuts out there!

    My wife Fran and I were delighted to return to the Fractured Prune. The donuts and coffee were awesome as always (though so hard to choose among the bewildering array of donuts which are hand-made to order). But we also wanted to thank Ken, the owner, whose family generously contributed to my participation in yesterday's (9/25/2021) 75 mile city-to-shore Ride to fight MS. As it happens, I'm an honorary member of Team Road Dawgs whose members are mostly police and other public safety professionals. We are sponsored by Philly favorite Suzy-Jo Donuts (though perhaps Ken will join as co-sponsor in 2022 - artisanal treats coming and going). See photo with Ken and Fran (who volunteered at the finish line). As it happens, we arrived near closing for the day (and the week - this being off season) and Ken graciously gifted Fran and I with a bag of everything bagels. Couldn't say enough about the food and warm-hearted family of the Fractured Prune.

    The best donuts down the shore! So many creative creative donuts that are made to order, with custom donut options as well! The frozen cold brew drinks are also amazing, and they come in different flavors. Really refreshing in the summer heat! Great breakfast sandwiches too! The staff is so friendly, and the owner Ken is such a nice guy. Such a great experience for a shore treat!

    5 stars for excellent service and unique concept. People come here for the donuts but I don't really care for sweets and wanted breakfast so I got an egg sandwich and coffee instead. The coffee was good. The donuts are made fresh to order and I would like to go back to try the ice-cream filled donut. I had an egg sandwich on an everything bagel. The egg was from the freezer and I was expecting a real egg so that was my thought the bagel would be made fresh in house since it's a similar shape to a donut but they are brought in and we're just ok. Ordered strawberry banana smoothies which were ok and would have been better if it was made with fresh strawberries and bananas. I was disappointed it was from a mix. The owner was very nice and brought us things we needed outside. They even have a water bowl for dogs.

    Great donuts! $18.99 for about a dozen donuts $2.89 for single. Got some donuts for my son's birthday and let him pick out an assortment. We got there early (730am) and there wasn't anyone there in line and took our time picking out what we wanted. I mean there was just quite an assortment to choose from. I also got a coffee which was okay. But they came up piping hot and had our family devour them as I brought them home. Definitely recommend paying a visit if you're in OC.

    The donuts were very, very good. I really like that you can customize your donut as they have many options available. I waited a while for my donuts, but it was worth the wait because they were made fresh and definitely tasted fresh! I know there are several Fractured Prune locations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and I definitely recommend trying these donuts! They offer bagels and breakfast sandwiches as well!

    Good donuts- kind service. The donuts were cleverly named and the flavors were unique but the taste was mere Dunkin' Donuts

    Not your average breakfast joint! My wife's family has been vacationing in Ocean City for years and…read morethis was everyone's first visit to Hooked on Breakfast. One of the servers who knows our niece suggested we stop by for breakfast during her shift and recommended we come before 8 am as it gets busy. By the time we arrived (after 8 am lol) our only option was to sit outside, otherwise the wait would've been 45 minutes--she was right. When I say I'm not a breakfast person, I don't mean I dislike breakfast foods. I just don't enjoy eating early in the day. This did not stop me from looking through pictures on Yelp and Google (Wow! Everything looked delicious!) and through the menu which had some very intriguing options including Woody's Scrap Pile, Cannoli Pancakes, and Breakfast Sushi (only on Tuesdays) just to name a few. The menu has all your typical breakfast foods and combos you'd find at any diner or breakfast joint, but then there are also much more unique, elaborate "craft" options that really make this menu stand out. Our server, who is also a teacher in my niece's school, was great. She was friendly, attentive, professional, frequently checked in, and was especially good with the kids, offering crayons and their choice of colored straws. While I didn't eat, my 5 star rating is based on the service (of course), the coffee, and unanimous positive remarks from around the table. I really liked the coffee mugs. They were large (larger than your average coffee mug), sturdy mugs that were filled nearly to the brim with piping hot coffee. My wife got the Sour Dough Delight--grilled sour dough topped with bacon, goat cheese, arugula, balsamic reduction (which she skipped) and two eggs (any style). She loved it and told me she'd absolutely order it again after she tries the Avocado Naan. Guess we're coming back at least twice more lol! Our table also had an Omelette, a breakfast sandwich, and French Toast. Everyone enjoyed their food and the portion sizes were huge--I don't think anybody finished their plate. While I did think the prices were fair, especially for the quality and quantity of food served, the online menu hadn't been updated to reflect current prices. I can see why they get as busy as they do and why they've received so many 5 star reviews. I'm sure Hooked on Breakfast will be added to our list of stops on our annual Ocean City family vacation after our experience this July.

We won't be going back. Not until they fix some major things.

Wjat was upsetting is that we noticed they are now adding hidden costs to your meal. I had a steak sandwich with onions and peppers. They charged me $2 for onions and $2 for peppers, adding an extra $4 for the meal. The added cost was not indicated on the menu, nor did the server disclose it. Another person changed out their two slices of standard toast for a slice of whole grain. That was a $1 added charge. Visitors should check their bills closesly since Varsity Inn seems to now want to add a charge for any little thing. The following night, I had a hamburger at another restaurant, and there was not an added charge for onion. Looks like we'll go elsewhere so we don't get hit with added, hidden charges.
