Well time to update my review. What else can I say, they are still rocking it! I've already told you how great the food is. Let me continue this time how great the staff is. First let's start at the heart of this place. The kitchen. These folks work super hard with terrific results. They not only produce great meals but they have the system down perfect. Next the wait staff. They have their A game as well. They pull from the kitchen as it is ready so it all arrives piping hot. My coffee mug is rarely dry (thank goodness, I need the caffeine) and my order is NEVER wrong. They are all very friendly. So why do I keep coming here? It's a wonderful place and you would be downright stupid not to give them a shot. read more

The best dinner in Fenwick Island/Ocean City continues to amaze! Jimmy's Kitchen brings good, fast service and their iconic Cream Chipped Beef (S.O.S.) [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place gets BUSY, so be prepared for that, go earlier on or maybe grab a seat at their breakfast bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Expectations: looking for a local gem dishing out best breakfast in town (or so reviews might allude) What we got: a tropical Waffle House Staff was friendly and so quick like under ten minute wait Food was a miss for me, though My omelette was overcooked - hash browns were undercooked and limp. My friend ordered the SOS - and I took a bite. What on earth? No flavor and it was thick thick. I have made my own in the past, and this tasted like straight flour. Just overall disappointed- we paid $50 for two people and the food was a little sad. The silver lining: the pancake was solid read more

Jimmy's Kitchen - Omelette with spinach and feta - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fenwick Island, Delaware

Great comfort food while on vacation. Fast and friendly service. Reasonable prices. Don't let the small size foul you.

I really wanted to love this place and I do not give this 2-star review lightly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was great, very kitschy decor and friendly staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Expected knock-your-sock-off diner food but was left disappointed. Especially with the creamed chipped beef (S. O. S), it was really bland and tasted like a heavy cream, thick with no flavor. read more

My wife and I came here for breakfast. We both had the two egg breakfast with hash browns and english muffins and I added bacon to mine. The server was attentive and the food came out quickly. Neither my wife nor I liked the hash browns...they were soft, undercooked and brown for some reason with an unusual taste. We each ate about a third of them and gave up. I feel like the cook needs to figure out how to serve crispy hash browns and then this review would be five stars. read more

Awesome service and everyone is very friendly. The corned beef hash with poached eggs is delish! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We love sitting at the bar![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Jimmy's is a must every trip to the beach. At least once. Sat at the bar today. Dashie was my server. She's very friendly and efficient. And as a creature of habit, I ordered my usual sausage, ham and cheese omelette with the side slab of SCRAPPLE and rye toast, which is essential at places like Jimmy's. Especially topped with orange marmalade. Food and service rule along with the sunshiny ambience of the beach. All is good. Even when boss isn't there. Great crew. Great service. read more

Pretty great! I almost got popped because they have mirror windows I guess to block the heat / sun so it looked closed. Sat right away, they have tees and stickers, read their chipped beef was the item to try - so I did and it was like my great grandma's that is good. I appreciated the young man who was working hard - like clock work every minute he would make a round to check for water fill ups and tables to clear. I assumed he was maybe someone's son but he did a great job! read more

Stopped here for a weekday breakfast while down in the Ocean City area. First thing - they are open everyday, even though when we pulled up it looked like they were closed. Decor is a very bright and loud - we were sat in a booth and ordered quickly. I went with a coffee and a scrapple omelette with hashbrowns. Comes with the standard toast as well. I really appreciate the single serve variety of jellies and jams in the packets so I could have one of each. Lady was nice who waited on us. Appreciated it. Would recommend! read more

Someone in this establishment was a jerk about them not taking American Express. I've been using Amex for over 25 years. I proceeded to tell him Amex protects its users. I told him I would not be back, and that I was not even from around there, and he said I seemed angry like a jerk, I took that as him projecting. I told him I was not angry and that I would simply not be back. I am writing this to tell everyone to Forget that place and that guy, not even sure who the hell he was. The food was okay, nothing you cannot make better yourself at home, and everything seemed adequate until I spoke with the arrogant subhuman when paying. As stated, will not be back. After reading all the other negative reviews of this place I have a better understanding of what is wrong with this place. read more

Jimmy's Kitchen - $15 - 2 Eggs 4 oz of canned corned beef hash 2 slices of bread. $10 cash tip - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fenwick Island, Delaware

Stayed up the road and decided to walk there for breakfast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was cool and casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was like well its either good or hyped up tourist bs. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They sat us in the hallway in front of the kitchen entrance. Not ideal as I heard "coming out" and "coming in" yelled non-stop as we were in the doorway.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Whatever. Utilizing space and we didnt have to wait. Cool server. Very nice. The food? Man. It was GOOD. We both got eggs and hash Browns with a biscuit and we ordered a side of their homemade creamed chipped beef. Creamed chip beef was best I ever had. No exaggeration. I cant stand shredded hash browns but have to admit they were really good. This is my new bfast place when im down here!! read more

Breakfast done properly! Eggs, toast & SOS. Nothing over the top just plan good meals. Quick service on a busy Saturday morning. Well done.

It's the best breakfast on the shore. Head to Fenwick Island and try the SOS, then you will never eat another place in the am. Very quick service, very friendly staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is a small town beach feel and has a counter to eat at as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love Jimmys read more

I'm visiting my friend at his beach house right across the highway from Jimmy's, like literally can walk there in 3 minutes. He says "it's the best breakfast in Fenwick" and that he is a true regular there and never eats breakfast anywhere else. Usually he goes in alone and sits at the bar so today was the first time he came and sat in the diner with us (3 friends). He was NOT LYING. BEST. BREAKFAST. EVER. Everything was made just right. I got the Nor'Easter with SOS and hotcakes. BEST HOTCAKES. BEST SOS (creamed chipped beef if you're lost). It's a very small place but the business they get proves that it's the best. A literal line out the door. Unless you get there right at 7am, expect a wait. And they're only open til noon so you gotta make time for this place. The service is outstanding too. If you can be patient enough to wait for a seat, it's friggin worth it. It's QUICK SERVICE for such a busy place. Between 4 of us, we ordered enough food to think it would take a minute, and it literally on took 5 minutes. Plus everyone is super nice. I could go on and on, but basically - you need to eat here. And it's so cheap for the quality of food and service. I haven't written a review in awhile and it's so good I had to write one. Thanks so much for filling my tummy 2 days in a row (and probably again tomorrow). read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was exceptional. From the breakfast sandwich to the omelet to the SOS.. everyone was pleased and left no trace of breakfast. Will be back for sure, read more

Went back to Jimmy's on October 7th after the summer absence. I don't go when the tourists are here, sorry. Anyways... Same as ever All great as ever Had SOS over home fries with one egg on the side...rye toast...yum Love my Jimmy's ... Best place in OC or southern Del for breakfast let me tell you Get here early like I did...they open at 7 Fantastic read more

A classic place to eat on the shore with friendly service. The food here is great and reasonably priced. In the summer be prepared for a wait. When possible, I like ro sit at the small bar which has quick service and a great view of the kitchen and the art of churning out great breakfast and lunch plates. The earlier you get there the better. read more

Let me shorten my review when I say....breakfast at OCMD and Fenwick Island DE close breakfast by 1pm latest. Prob by noon. ..Anyway, after questioning places to see if their chipped beef gravy was homemade, I x'd out a couple places and came across Jimmy's Kitchen! There's people lined up outside. I rolled my eyes "again" and found parking. I walked past the people, to put my name on the board. Party of one!! (Yep! Even on vacation with the fam). She said you can sit at the bar if you like! I agreed and asked if chipped beef gravy was homemade. She said yes!!!! I sat at the 8 person "bar" Jen took my order. She was a great and friendly person. I put in my order. Chipped beef gravy. Comes with hashbrowns and I added to eggs with coffee. I could see the guys cooking from my seat. I'm sure they made a mixed tape of all my likes! I heard Zeppelin, The Doors, and Bob Marley. I was in the right hole in the wall for sure. My entire plate needed NO salt or pepper!! It's was Perfect! Got Dang delicious! And for less than $17. I'm glad I took the time to stop and ask about homemade food. It's great that businesses were honest about if their food was homemade or not. Totes respect. Jimmy's.......all my love! My plate was literally clean when I finished!!! I'll come back! Don't change a thing. read more

Love coming here for breakfast. Just like a good old fashioned diner. It is conveniently located on the main road in Fenwick--so it's a great place to go before hitting the beach. It's bright, sunny interior (literally sun plaques hanging everywhere and cheery yellow walls) make even a rainy day a sunny experience. You'll never be disappointed with a breakfast at Jimmy's! read more

Bottom Line: Very casual atmosphere with good coffee and quick and friendly service. All of those Yelp stars can't be wrong so my husband and I ventured to Jimmy's Kitchen on a cold February morning. We arrived about 8am and I think we were one of the las tables to be seated without a wait. Our friendly server quickly showed up with the coffee pot in hand. As a black coffee drinker I found their coffee to be smooth and tasty - no bitterness. Also, I realized from my fellow Yelpers that Jimmy's uses a random collection of coffee mugs. So if you ever wonder who wants your random non-matching coffee mugs, I think Jimmy's does! Being indecisive and curious about the SOS I ordered the Nor'Easter to share with my husband. Thee Nor'Esater has two eggs, two pieces of bacon, a sausage link, two pancakes, grits and SOS. Yep, all of that. I really enjoyed the sausage link and pancakes. As far as the SOS goes, I wish it had more chipped beef in it and it definitely needed a sturdy carb underneath it. I swiped a piece of delicious buttery toast from my husband as my "shingle." The pancakes were our favorite item and we nearly ate all of them. My husband ordered an veggie omelet with oatmeal which he enjoyed. It also came with the aforementioned delicious buttery toast. Yum. Our server was friendly and our food came out quickly. Just writing this review I find myself craving Jimmy's pancakes and buttery toast. Yum. read more

upset about the cold food for a 21.00 plate and lacking flavor in several items Staff is nice and friendly They were terribly busy. Which is why I didn't complain to staff - We had three person right in front of us (we were three too) They sat them quickly but didn't wait for their whole party to be present So they sat 15 mins before us and were still eating when we left If you rule is if it's Busy - everyone neds to be present to sit --- please follow it Likely busy could have caused food issues One plate was super hot food and the other plate was luke warm at best S.O.S is hard to eat less than warm as well as grits Grits had no flavor-- maybe salt your water Great menu and super organized so makes decisions easy I woukdnhave given a 3.5 for food taste - Cold food and sitting people inforntnof people waiting read more

This is a classic breakfast and brunch spot! The mugs do not match, and that is part of the charm. The menus are part of the table because this is a we are NO FRILLS! JUST GREAT FOOD! They have it all!! Creamed chipped beef, oatmeal, omelets, pancakes, French toast , and all the meats!! Staff is well trained and friendly. Food comes out quick and just as you ordered. PERFECT EVERY TIME! My husband is not a big breakfast guy and they always accommodate him with a delicious BLT! Jimmy is on the grill and he makes sure that you have a perfect experience every time! read more

Staff were nice and helpful. Food was fast and incredible. Would highly recommend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Family friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Food was very good. They have barriers and air cleaners running. They disinfect and have hand sanitizer. Honestly the tables are close. He said they cannot have more than sixteen people at a time though. So that's reassuring. Nothing bad to say just wish there was a bit more spacing. In non Covid this rating would be a five. read more

Jimmy's Kitchen - At every table :) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fenwick Island, Delaware

Great breakfast spot offering the typical diner breakfast. Great hot cakes and real chipped beef gravy (not burger or sausage). Friendly fast service. A bit princely in my opinion...but good food and service! read more

Food is good as is the service. Always a breakfast stop when we are in Ocean City Md.

Food was well priced and good. Service was quick to come to the table. Great location. Will return.

Leaving this review so that there can be an updated picture of the menu with updated prices. Food was great, hash browns aren't crispy but great flavor, loved the scrambled eggs with American cheese and with white toast and some yummy cranberry juice. great service but it was a bit loud, which is fine if you only have up to 4 people but if you're a party bigger than that it will be hard for one half of the table to hear what the other side is saying! And they don't take any substitutions and only offer these odd combos so I had to individually add each item I wanted but still all in all a great breakfast spot!! read more

I liked the food a lot! I'm definitely a picky breakfast eater and their breakfast was really good. The hash browns are shredded which I LOVE. Veggie omelet was full of veggies and the perfect amount of cheese. Our server was super nice too. My son got a waffle and that was good as well! read more

Ah, Ocean City, we meet again! After a rowdy night out catching up with friends, we were due for some brunch to soak it all up. Jimmy's Kitchen was the closest breakfast restaurant to our AirBNB so we decided to give it a shot. Although it's off season, the restaurant was buzzing. We waited a few minutes for an 8 top. The atmosphere has a small town, laid back feel. The decorations reminded me of grandma's house and the furniture was a bit outdated. I did love, however, how each place setting had a different coffee mug to match. In fact, I spotted a Yelp mug on a table near ours! Woop woop! The servers were only semi friendly, maybe because we were wearing Salisbury clothes (we had an alumni game) and college kids get a bad rep not to tip well. The food was pretty good but nothing to write home about. read more

Stayed 5 days ate here all 5!!! Food is delicious! From the pancakes to the corn beef hash! Must have!

Great! We were heading home from OCMD and hit Jimmy's on the way. We were quoted a wait of 20-25 and were seated closer to 15 minutes. Perfect diner feel that doesn't eat up too much of your day. read more

Me and my boyfriend stopped here on our way home from vacation and I just had to write a review to rave about this place. Not only were we sat immediately but every single employee had a smile.
