What can I say, it's the best breakfast place in Fenwick. The owner, Jimmy and his wife are very friendly, welcoming and his hash browns are the best. The coffee is an endless cup, always fresh fruit, the SOS is amazing. The ambience of the place makes you feel like you're in a locals establishment. I must say it is worth the wait because the breakfast sandwiches and breakfast platters are amazing. read more

This hidden gem is located in a nondescript strip mall. While we waited to be seated, we had a direct view of the goings on in the kitchen. These guys know their business and were cranking out breakfasts like a well-oiled machine. It was entertaining watching them work, tossing eggshells into the can behind them without even looking, constantly wiping down, cleaning up as they went. Service was fast, friendly and the food was delicious. I'm a basic 2-egg, meat, potatoes and toast/biscuit kind of girl and it did not disappoint. I don't get to the area too much anymore but I'll definitely come back here! read more

Our hometown breakfast kitchen with good food, fast service and unique atmosphere. Jimmy's is always a treat...and worth the wait!

The food was delicious with a good portion. The customer service was good as well. I will def recommend this place for a breakfast spot. The wait was not too bad to sit and eat as well read more

Why does this place feel like Guy Fieri should be in the kitchen filming an episode of Diners Drive-ins and Dives ?? We stumbled upon this place recently and we were amazed By all the great options including corned beef hash and grits !!! Best breakfast in fenwick/Bethany area by far !!!. read more

Because of Covid, we ordered take out. The omelet was flavorless and no condiments were given to spice it up. No utensils available. Had to eat our waffle and omelet with our fingers. Steer clear if you're doing takeout. read more

We tried this place because a friend told us about it. This is a tiny little place- decorated quaint, but needs some updating. The food was so super quick to come out which is great for a breakfast place. The waitress was friendly. Eggs were good and so were the home fries. read more

Jimmy's Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fenwick Island, Delaware

I can only review this place based on breakfast. It seems to be very reliable. Closes at 1230 each day, so make sure you keep that in mind. Also, I sent a report to Yelp to fix the location. The address is correct on Yelp but the pin was dropped in the wrong place. So when you hit the directions button using Yelp, Google would direct you to the wrong place. I picked a very basic breakfast--three eggs over medium, hash browns, bacon, and wheat toast. It was good. Nothing spectacular but exactly how it should be. Eggs cooked perfectly. Hash browns not too dry or too greasy. Bacon cooked crisp. Toast was boring but fine. Coffee wasn't great but I'm a bit if a coffee snob. If this were a diner, this would be on the higher end of diner fare. Would definitely recommend this place for a trustworthy breakfast experience. Definitely read more

This is a great spot! We have driven by here many times but never stopped. The food was delicious and it came out really quick. We will make this a regular stop from now on! read more

Great reasonably priced breakfast food with a Caribbean coastal theme.. The service was pleasant and the kitchen is a well oiled machine, those guys are efficient!

Found Jimmy's thru Yelp! The reviews are true! Good food. Nice home feel atmosphere. Our waitress Jennifer was very attentive. Check this place out. read more

Jimmy's... Let me start off by saying it was good. But the hype around this place I'm not seeing it. I had the S.O.S on hash browns. It was a good breakfast but I want blown away and that is there signature dish. My girlfriend had a cheese steak omelet that she liked. The staff was friendly and the vibe is cool. I'm giving it a solid 3 star review because while everything was fine, it's not the mind blowing experience that it is hyped up to be. But it is definitely a decent breakfast spot worth a try read more

Jimmy's Kitchen - Gonna tear it up - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fenwick Island, Delaware

As always, we trust the Yelp reviews. That's how we found this place. This was in a great location to our hotel, we had a nice 15 minute beautiful morning walk there. We got there 10 minutes after they opened, we got right in and were seated right away. Our food came out unbelievably fast and tasted great! The hash browns are awesome!! We had good quick, attentive, friendly staff. I was even quite impressed when you walk in the door there's a big screen TV that has a camera on the kitchen so you see what things look like and watch them cooking. Kinda cool. Overall experience was quick and cheap. We will be making this a regular breakfast stop on our future vacations. read more

THIS IS THE BEST BREAKFAST PLACE IN SUSSEX COUNTY, DE. LOCATED IN FENWICK ISLAND, DE Jimmy and his staff NEVER fail to please. This is a favorite with locals and can be difficult to get a table in high season. The wait for a table is not very long so do not let that deter you from a short wait. Food is OUTSTANDING. . . read more

Great breakfast spot! Everyone in my family got the Nor'easter and every part of it was delicious,l and cooked to perfection! French toast is amazing as were the sausage links.

Hard to get a seat during the summer, but worth the wait. Cream chipped beef( SOS) the best at the beach. Probably the best I've ever had.

We had a group of 5 of us that ended up stopping here for a late breakfast before we had a 4 hr drive home. We loved it. The staff is great, very attentive and the service is FAST. We ordered quite a bit of food and it was on our table in no time. The chipped beef is to die for, hash browns and eggs were perfect. We couldn't have been happier with our time here, next time we are down in that area we will 100% be returning to this location. Thank you again to the staff for your terrific service! read more

We love Jimmy's for breakfast! We have been there numerous times and it never disappoints. My husband loves their SOS (his favorite, next to mine) and scrapple. Very simple place but great food. Usually a line during season, but don't let that discourage you because it moves quickly. The staff is quick and great, plus the kitchen knows how to get food out quickly! Never ate lunch there, but I am sure it would be great. read more

Is there any way to give zero stars? We just had the worst experience ever. We had been singing the praises of this diner to our friends and relatives but we will certainly be retracting those comments after the treatment we received. We were there to celebrate my mom's birthday and came in early to ensure we would have a table. We were informed by the most incompetent person I have met in my life. He was rude, he lied to us on several occasions about the availability of our table. The servers were quite rude, which is putting it mildly. I had to apologize to my mom for making her birthday breakfast absolutely abysmal. I can say quite confidently that this was the last time me or anyone who asks me about my dining experience will ever eat here. read more

It is a bit strange to me how this place has such great reviews over other diners in the area...it's all the same. Don't get me wrong, Jimmy's is very satisfying. I waited 30 minutes for breaky on Sat with 3 others... we got various versions of egg. Two of us went with the Healthy Choice which were egg whites, fresh veggies...Bf and I both had the Jimmy's Special which was scrambled eggs with diced ham. Each entree came with the option for grits or hash browns - we all opted for the browns which were nicely mixed it and shredded (the kind I like). Most of the dishes came with your bread of choice and while I can't speak for the toast, I can say the biscuit I got with my breaky was really moist and buttery. Delish. The Jimmy Special came with two small OJs and we all got pretty strong coffee. Our server was really sweet, and overall, I have no complaints. But a diner is a diner. Some might say the portion sizes were small but I think it's fine for $10 pp or less. If you have to wait for your table, I highly recommend visiting the Country Store nearby as they make their own candy and sweet snacks (homemade fudge anyone?) read more

Amazing good breakfast! Choose from all the breakfast favorites and of course fresh coffee!

Great Breakfast. Worth the wait. Good service, resonable prices, respectable coffee, cozy atmosphere and great breakfast food. What more could you want? Well, I'd want the place to be bigger, but you can't have everything. I had the chipped beef (SOS!) on a waffle and it was great. Others had cinnamon french toast (best thing on the menu), eggs, etc. Yummy and highly recommended for a simple breakfast. read more

Not really sure what the fuss is all about. Based on our breakfast this morning, Jimmy's serves perfectly adequate, slightly overpriced diner-style breakfast food. And the hash browns, which look really good, were very soggy. Not sure how griddled hash browns can be soggy, but they were. read more

Drove down here during a weekend trip to Bethany, and it was definitely worth the trip. We waited about 20 minutes (around 11:30am on a Sunday) to be seated, which felt fast after they estimated 30-45 mins - good service strategy to keep customers happy! Jimmy's has a good diner feel to it, with fun photos and articles about the place to read on the wall. Do check out the green cards with famous 'Jimmys' on them (and what the restaurant thinks they would order). Food was solid. Many mainstay breakfast choices, with a good number of omelet combinations, waffles, and hot cakes, all at reasonable prices. Ingredients for the omelet are integrated into the eggs, which I prefer over just throwing them in the center. I got grits as opposed to hash browns - you need to add a fair amount of extras to make the grits taste good (definitely not far enough South), but consistency was right. I personally don't know nor enjoy chipped beef well enough to know whether this version was good (it is their most heralded dish) - I recommend getting it as a $2.95 side to give it a try. As with a few other places along the beach, you can get scrapple in and with everything, which is a fun change from bacon/sausage! In my brief DE/MD beach breakfast experience, I'd put this in the "I'll be back" column. Hope I have reason to get down here again soon! read more

VERY friendly polite staff, even the chef greeted us warmly. Food was cooked great, except hash browns, but I almost never see them cooked well. Everything was yummy and the coffee was superb! Great homey atmosphere. All around great experience! read more

Correct address is 6 Ocean Bay Plaza. Great diner-style food at reasonable prices. Service was speedy and friendly. The cinnamon raisin french toast was amazing! An excellent alternative to Bayside Skillet for our O.C. trips. read more

Jimmy's is my go to breakfast spot. It is in an unassuming strip shopping center. The inside is a bit dated and drab. The service is incredibly fast. I've tried a lot of different foods but have settled in to pancakes and chipped beef. The pancakes are very good. But the chipped beef is excellent. I had gone to General's Kitchen because everyone talks about how good their chipped beef is. Well Jimmy's chipped beef is far, far better. The sausage was fine. Again, not the best I've had, but very good. The bacon was great. The grits were ho-hum. Let me start by saying that I like milk based grits. Milk based grits are hard to come by. (Unless you visit the US southeast) These water based grits needed something to flavor them up. Butter or something. They just tasted like water. In the grand scheme of things if bland grits is the only thing I can complain about, then this place is good. I have a home in OC and have now found my go to breakfast spot. The only downside is that in-season, you will have to wait to be seated. About 20-30 mins on weekdays, and 40 mins on weekends. Now, I will take a leisurely stroll around the block to kill some time. I get to oogle over the megamansions on the bay. read more

Good home cooking with a family environment. I always have breakfast so that's what I'm reviewing and it's all great! Chipped beef on an omelette? Yes! Service is always friendly and super fast! It's super popular so it can get pretty busy but as I said, they are fast. read more

Talk about a locals hidden Gem, I had breakfast here last 4th of July weekend 2012 but had forgot the name. Long story short a buddy recently texted me a pic of this place so I had to do it justice and write a review. I stumbled in here on a late Saturday morning (still feeling Seacrets from the night before). There was a little bit of a wait but my buddy promised me it was worth it. Waited for about 10 min and they seated in the back. The waitress was polite and fast at everything, I kid you not our food came out in 6 minutes. The must have breakfast here is called the Noreasterner, hands down the biggest and best breakfast I've ever had, makes Denny's look like your eating prison food, D-block 9. I'll be back here 4th of July weekend 2013, 3 weeks and counting! read more

(07/11/2013) Jimmy's has always been a fave for breakfast for us. Great reasonably priced and spot on. Basic breakfast combos just as you expect and made as ordered (perfect runniness on my over-easy). Homemade Creamed Chipped Beef (S.O.S.) is thick. tastes like heavy cream and butter, flecked with pieces of chipped beef (I'd love to see more beef). Coffee is a touch light, but free-flowing. Service is friendly and efficient. Only bad thing about the place is that it's tiny, can be cramped, and waits can be long (expected for it's popularity). read more

Stopped in for breakfast on a Sunday morning and had a 20 minute wait however I don't think we even waited that long. The restaurant is small and in a strip mall. It has an open kitchen concept and you can see everything from the "waiting area". They also have a big tv where you can see the cooks. The decor of the place is super cute and it's got a beachy diner feel to it. Our food came out super fast and everything was delicious! The prices are reasonable and the service was on point. read more

Can't rate the food. We didn't get seated. They told us it would be a few minutes then proceeded to seat people that came in after us. There were 3 of us and 4 of them. If you can seat 4 you can seat 3. No time for bad hostesses. read more

Jimmy's kitchen is only a short drive from Ocean City and they feature great food served fast and at very fair prices. I had their Spanish Omelet and I was not disappointed. They make most of their sauces in-house and it really shows. Your food will be served very quickly by a friendly staff, and you will certainly enjoy your experience. read more

Prejudice. Not worth the money 100%. Came here with my fiancé and put our name in, hostess said it would be 30-40 mins wait. After 30 minutes we were waiting inside for our table as she said it'll still be a couple minutes, and at least two couples - mind you they were white - came in and she seated them immediately with the two of us still waiting right in front of her. Such blatant disrespect and prejudice. I have looked at other reviews and this is a reoccurring issue at this sorry restaurant. I wasn't about to argue with a literal child but i regret just letting that slide. On top of that the food was awful. Such tasteless terrible eggs, burger tastes like cardboard, they didn't even put onions and barely any lettuce when we specifically asked for both. Legit looks like an elementary school kid cooked our meal. Better off going to mcdonald's. Can't believe there are still prejudice places like this in this day of age. read more
