    Two eggs over easy with hash browns and crispy bacon. Very good.
    Mike C.

    We finally tried this restaurant and we were not disappointed. We were promptly seated, the food, which tasted great by the way, came out very quickly, and the portions were plentiful. We will definitely be back again.

    House specialty

    Service is always great BUT This place used to be a breakfast gem in OC. Been coming for 20+ years, since the chipped beef house specialty was $5.50. It's $15 now and terrible. Restaurant is dirty. Bathrooms are disgusting. This place has fallen off big time.

    Always a great breakfast, today I had the House Specialty creamed chipped beef, it was delicious! Our waitress Aliya was great !!! Cozy atmosphere, proud to support police!!!

    Awesome service and food . Very veteran friendly place to go. You'll notice that as soon as you walk in the door. Very cool place. It's all veteran and first responder themed decor. I'll be back. I guarantee it.

    Standing in front of the new (ish) location - over on 66th Street!  Perfect sunny day, too! haha

    Good ole' General's Kitchen! I have been coming to OC ALL my life and, since my 20s, my family has had a place in Ocean Pines. Over the course of 25 years, I kept telling myself.. yeah - I'll try it, I'll try it... welp, yelp (hehe) I finally did and OH MY GOODNESS!!! How do you all do it? You offer these EPIC meals starting at like $8?! For $12.50, I got egg whites (they did not charge extra - which is good bc I find the extra charge a bit strange bc egg whites cost less than eggs in the store, so, THANK YOU for making SENSE! haha) and turkey sausage (again nothing extra, money-wise) and delicious FRESH breakfast potatoes .. and - GET THIS - Coffee and Orange juice is included! What?!?! NO other place in-town OC offers so much for so little $! The quality is worth much more (not saying you SHOULD charge more - haha - but saying it's too good to be so inexpensive)! Lastly, my husband was in the Marine Reserves for 8 years - so, I have to say, I really loved the nod to Military appreciation theme of the interior (picture Mission BBQ but as a breakfast place as your vibe). Thank you for this great experience - I have told everyone I know to try it! Two of my close friends and I came in a few weeks ago and we all had a wonderful (and delicious time). Would SOOOO TOTALLY recommend! :)

    Had breakfast here on a short trip to OCMD. Was not disappointed! Apparently the chipped beef gravy is a huge deal because everyone was ordering it but I don't eat meat so it wasn't for me. I had a yummy mushroom and cheese omelette, really good hash browns and a light and fluffy biscuit. This place is Veteran owned and the decor honors them and I like that. They had Fox News on the tv but the volume was down and I will look beyond it, even though I think it's lies and propaganda, because I was hungry. Even though they were short staffed and very busy, we sat at the bar and the staff was very nice. We talked to four regulars who were also super friendly. All around good place. Highly recommend.

    The Western special! 8oz steak and eggs. Fantastic!
    Christopher B.

    A good short-order cook is hard to find, but the General has one! I saw the special, figured why not and went for it. Cooked to a perfect medium, w/o any input from me, and it was melt in your mouth fantastic. I've been to steakhouses that didn't cook a steak this well. We were redirected here after another location was booked, and I'm happy about it. We've been here before. It's always solid, accommodating, and quite impressive. Chipped beef if great, omelets, pancakes, etc. Consistent, impressive and reliable.

    Chicken fried steak special
    Basil M.

    Excellent service, food and value. I love a good chicken fried steak and this place is top-notch. The eggs over easy were perfect, and they have rye toast here! The hashbrowns were average, but everything else was fantastic, including the military/law enforcement decor. Love this place.

    With all the options of restaurants for breakfast in OC this is by far the best one. Waitstaff is exceptional and you won't leave hungry or disappointed.

    Tim S.

    The wait sucked a little but the food was definitely worth it. I feel like the wait staff was annoyed by our indecisiveness which was annoying to me. The food came quick and it was delicious but I just didn't love the attitude of our waiter, who I won't publicly shame here. The food is great and it's a cool restaurant dedicated to memorializing veterans and fallen hero's which is great. I'll come back and hope for a different server next time.

    This place moves fast! We were in and out within 25 minutes on a Monday morning. My mom and I both ordered a cheddar cheese omelet with home fries and toast. The omelets were huge and hard to finish. Cheese oozed out of the omelet when cutting into it. Home fries were a little on the soggy side but still good. Service was great. Def a place to check out for a quick breakfast.

    Veterans hats.

    Fantastic breakfast staff is a little gruff but all in all pretty good. Try the chip beef. It's top notch.

    The absolute best breakfast or brunch spot down in ocmd. I always stop in at least once during my…read moreannual golf trip in May. Definite sit at the bar and chat with one of their amazing and friendly bartenders when dining. This last visit they made me an amazing crab cake sandwich. The grab meat was so fresh and plentiful. No filler or anything. Can't go wrong with anything here though.

    Aug. 2025 | A+ Service, Legendary Breakfast…read more Customer service - 5 out of 5 Wait time - 5 out of 5 Cleanliness - 5 out of 5 Atmosphere - 5 out of 5 Food quality - 5 out of 5 So many great things to say about this place, but let's start with the standout... Customer Service: Hands down the best we experienced during our 9-day family trip to OCMD. Karri, our waitress, made us feel like family, loved her. Jeff & Mike were professional, friendly, and made a point to engage with every table. Breakfast? PHENOMENAL. Best we've had, not just this summer, but in all our years visiting OCMD. My wife and son agree. Everything was homemade and cooked to order. No frozen shortcuts. Portions were just right, flavors balanced beautifully, and nothing overly sweet. Nashville Hot Stuffed French Toast: The bourbon and caramelized apples stole the show. Chicken was a fun twist, though next time I'd get it on the side to keep the sweet and spicy separate. You can skip the chicken altogether and save $4 if you'd like. Banana Foster French Toast: Mind-blowing. The kind of dish that makes you question everything you've ever called "breakfast." Plate was licked clean. Already dreaming of it for summer 2026. Creamed Chipped Beef over Biscuits: Shared this one. Generous portion, nostalgic flavor, clearly a recipe passed down and perfected. Triple Decker: My son had the chocolate chip pancakes, huge portion, perfect texture, and he loved every bite. Only minor con: straws come unwrapped in your drink. Not a dealbreaker, but something to note. Final score: 25/25. Solid A+. Verdict: Highly recommended. We'll be back in summer 2026, no question.

    Breakfast was amazing! There are no complaints to give. Just expect a lengthy wait, for my family…read moreof five's meals, we wait 40-45 mins. They actually got so busy, so some orders got mixed up, they chose to give us extra food for the trouble. We placed a to-go order, there wasn't much waiting room however, the manager was very accommodating and constantly checked on us. We ordered the French toast, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, hash brown, The Nashville Hot Chicken which comes with Mac-n-Cheese (MUST TRY), smoothies and ice coffee. Overall, the atmosphere was very nice. The place was packed! I highly recommend Malia's Cafe!

    A nice cafe close to the beach? Well, we found one that is vegetarian friendly. Lots of good…read moreoptions from pancakes, waffles, avocado toast and many more. We saw some good ratings and gave this place a shot and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff who helped us make the right selection. As my wife was fasting, she went with a small fruit bowl, my son chose shortstack pancakes, and I tried the veggie hash. The fruit bowl was decorated well and had plenty of variety. From blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, watermelons, apples, bananas, and others, all the fruits were fresh and perfectly ripe. The pancakes were very large and just one would have been more than enough for two people it seems but they even added berries for my son on them. The veggie hash had lots of potential. It was cooked well, however, lacked seasoning. It seemed slightly bland and I had to utilize ketchup to give it some identity. However, the quality and variety of veggies inside was great. Overall, I am giving four stars due to the fact that the prices are high, but the service and quality are worth it; especially for such a close location to the boardwalk.
