I really wanted to love this place and I do not give this 2-star review lightly. The atmosphere was great, very kitschy decor and friendly staff. 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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

No explanation needed!!

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. The restaurant is a small town beach feel and has a counter to eat at as well. Love Jimmys

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).

So damn good.

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.

Fun sunny decor!

A wonderful dining experience...sort of. Such a shame the restaurant is so noisy and the outside…read moredining looks onto Rt 1. I'll give the restaurant a 4 star review for the sauces and food combinations. The fish and pork chops were an excellent choice for my guests. Unfortunately I ordered the flank steak, medium rare. I didn't send it back which would have ruined the mood of the dinner, but the pork chop took 25 minutes to prepare. The flank steak came out luke warm and was not at all tender. It would have been better medium or medium well as it was a bit rubbery. The server should have warned me when she indicated to my guest that she preferred the pork chop. She was a bit abrupt and talked too fast. The Parker house rolls were a bit dry, not warm and tough. I'm from Baltimore and Parker house rolls are should be warm, soft with a lovely aroma and melt in your mouth. The honey butter helped but not enough. We ordered the strawberry short cake for dessert. The presentation was lovely and the strawberries fresh and sweet, but the short cake was dry. I assume it was awarded the James Beard for the sauces and creative combinations, which admittedly were wonderful, but there are some simple things the chef needs to consult his grandmother on how to prepare.

The food was outstanding and the chef has 3 James Beard nominations…read more There wasn't a bad thing that we ordered And the bartender is well versed in his bourbon We had the best Manhattan ever.Dont miss this hidden gem

This is the kind or hoarder business that drives itself into the ground. They have some of the same…read moreplant pots as Home Goods but at a whopping 30% increase on price. Seriously. If this place lowered the cost considerably, they might sell some of this stuff. The Buddha, and other statues in my picture, is over $500 just like most of the other large pots sitting outside forever. Come off the price. People will buy. And so on... it will come back around. Inside was really worse. Upon walk in the damp must was a smack in the face. Costs were ridiculous. Even a vegetable brush was $14? (Just as a reference) I walked the whole store actually trying to find something to buy and walked out shaking my head.

Bottom Line: Lots of pretty pottery and an eclectic collection of housewares and gifts…read more Even if you're not shopping for big pots this store has lots to explore. I enjoyed winding my way through the maze of goodies. Some of the things that caught my eye were Polish pottery, pretty reusable tote bags, cheeky kitchen gadgets and funny cocktail napkins. They also had sign art, candles, throw blankets, funny socks, adult greeting cards, yard flags and air plants. It's a very eclectic mix of merchandise. The store is a bit tight in spots so I'd recommend against bringing a gaggle of people, big purse or stroller.

We've been coming here for years, and it's a place our family looks forward to visiting every year…read more The food is always delicious, and there are so many great options to choose from. Some of my favorites are the homemade creamed chipped beef, which is excellent on either biscuits or toast. I also love Joey's French Toast with peanut butter and banana--it's always a treat. The kids we had with us they order the pancakes and enjoy them. If we're not very hungry in the morning, we'll often stop in for one of their fresh pastries instead. The glazed donuts, danishes, muffins, and cinnamon rolls are all fantastic. This place has such a warm, family-friendly atmosphere and is a great spot to bring kids. The staff is always welcoming, and the food never disappoints. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

I've been here many times before. This time and the last were similar. Only this time the product…read morewas bad in addition to the the service. We entered the diner to witness an elderly couple being spoken to as if they were garbage. My son an I approached the counter to be immediately barked at about their cash only policy. We told the woman working we wanted a half dozen donuts. We pointed out those we wanted most of which we had to repeat and she placed them in the box. Staying attentive for your only customer isn't that difficult. She then tells me that my total is $25, donuts are listed as $2.25/each or $13.50. Not, we also got a chocolate croissant. I guess that was an $11.50 croissant? We took our pastries and returned home. Only to find that everything that we got was day old product! Don't waste your time here. Just google bakeries in Ocean City or Bethany and go anywhere but this place. Also, they had only 2 customers in the diner while we were there. This should have been the first red flag. Especially this close to July 4th weekend. BUYER BEWARE!
