Been coming here since I was a kid yearly tradition at-least once when staying at the beach. Always friendly service and the best donuts can even sample them when they walk around with a plate full lol. Definitely gets busy in the morning so might have to wait a little but nice area to sit and enjoy the weather. A classic Ocean City staple 10/10. read more

Stop in for the donuts. They're the best in town. Also a really solid breakfast diner with real good prices. read more

Layton's Family Restaurant - Neptune Benedict. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Very poor service! No greeting when walking in. Waitress seemed annoyed the entire time, and forget one dish, we had to wait about 20 mins extra for the dish and everyone in our party was already done with their food. The food was mediocre, not bad but not great. The neptune benedict was good, crab cake flavorful and the potatoes crispy and seasoned well. I would not come back because service is poor. read more

Fast service, solid food, fair prices in a local family spot equals a winning combination. I got 3 eggs over easy (in a bowl) so I could put the beef hash on top and then it came with some pancakes. Everything was cooked well, nice size portions and the pancakes tasted like your classic welcoming buttermilk pancakes. I also got a 1/2 dozen cake donuts to go. I ate while my wife ran a 1/2 marathon lol...hey we all make our own decisions in life. read more

I came here for the donuts more than anything else, and honestly they were so-so. Overly sweet in my opinion. I also tried an omelette with home fries and again, it was so-so. The omelette wasn't cooked very well - it was runny. And the home fries had zero, and I literally mean zero flavor. There's no way they put seasoning on them. And they were cold! The service was good and fast, but the food just didn't impress me. read more

A typical diner-style restaurant serving breakfast and lunch. Service was quick given how busy they were on a Saturday morning. Donut was the best part! read more

Strong recommendation! Great breakfast options. Everything I've had here was delicious.

this is an authentic breakfast place if you're in Ocean City there's one on 92nd St. and there's one down on eighth or ninth Street. it will always be crowded in the summer so I would say order ahead and take it to go and plan on 15 to maybe 45 minute wait sometimes but it is worth it. They serve mimosas and bloody Mary's at the 92nd St. The hashbrowns are to die for, the donuts are bar none the best in town and scrapple, if you're a fan, can't go wrong! Is an old school family restaurant that's been in town for a long time. The decor is basically the same but friendly staff and always accommodating. Don't miss it! read more

Overall, this is a good spot for breakfast. Eggs are always cooked perfectly and my kids go wild for these pancakes. This time, I ordered the Neptune Benedict which is essentially an egg's Benedict with crab cake. The crab cake itself was plentiful and full of lump crab meat. My biggest complaint was (see image) it was overwhelmingly covered in the hollandaise sauce which overpowered the entire meal. My wife had the French toast that she enjoyed but said it lacked anything to make it stand out. My mother in law had the Breakfast Wrap and she loved it, saying the eggs and sausage were very flavorful. Our server was super friendly and attentive and I love when they make personal recommendations. I do love the location too, it's centrally located and I love the fun "family owned" decore read more

So glad we finally checked out this popular OC breakfast spot! Definitely one of our new fav meals. Service was super friendly and very attentive. My fiancés cream chipped beef was excellent and a hearty portion. My egg white veggie scramble was the perfect light breakfast and the veggies were obviously fresh. We shared a warm cinnamon bun which was to die for! read more

Visited this for breakfast in the winter season, it got pretty crowded when we were there. That definitely shows how great of a place it is. The service was great and everyone was kind. The prices were great for the portions. The donuts were delicious. The breakfast sandwich was amazing and devoured quickly. They put a good portion of bacon on it. read more

Ate here again, And it was still just as delicious. The donuts are so good, we both got the bacon egg and cheese sandwich this time. It was perfect. (Somehow I messed up my earlier review and never noticed it until now. I absolutely DO recommend. Highly. Recommend. Go eat breakfast here! read more

This place is big with cool ocean decor. We came for breakfast December 30th. Creamed chip beef was really good. Slightly salty but I think because there was so much chipped beef in it. The potatoes were amazing. Wife got a ham and cheese omelet and it was really good and good size. We split a chocolate glazed donut and it was good. Sweet and cakey inside with a crisp outside. Very fresh. Dudes working were upbeat and attentive. read more

If your water tastes gross, then you need to tell people!, sh*t tasted like infection. My kid said it tasted like her "tonsil stones" I thought she was being dramatic, but it literally lasted like puss! On top of that, the food was your basic b*tch diner food: we got eggs, pancakes, a Quasadilla and two burgers- $108?!?.. At home that's $60 tops at our local diner, just out here ripping people off for the sake of it. Greedy & gross! Never again. read more

I had a nice breakfast here with an elevated calorie count because of the proximity of their baked goods display-- donuts, and cinnamon rolls included. The people are nice and the coffee is hot and you could hardly ask for more for breakfast. The only thing is, the parking lot is a bit of a challenge because if it's layout and the fact that so many people rely on this place and enjoy coming here.. I have a small car and was able to squeeze into what I would describe as an undesirable spot.. There was a small line to get in, but I went up to the counter. Layton's is clearly an Ocean City standby with generations of customers. read more

I can't give Laytons any less than 5 stars because their food is great. Their service is great. And they don't lose their minds 4 months a year when OC's population swells Tenfold. The food is delivered fast and fresh all the time. Note: their parking lot is a little tight and you may have to wait to pullout if they are getting a delivery but that doesn't happen often. You can also park on the side across from their door. Do not leave without trying their freshly made donuts. You will be the hit of your vacation group if you come home with a dozen. Offseason is a dream. No waiting from mid October on. I'm headed there now for a donut read more

Customer service - 5 out of 5 Wait time - 5 out of 5 Atmosphere - 3 out of 5 Cleanliness - 2 out of 5 Food quality - 3.5 out of 5 My wife was really excited to give this restaurant a try for breakfast because she had been there once before and loved their pancakes. When we arrived, we noticed that the restaurant was quite busy, but the estimated wait time of 15 minutes was pretty accurate, if not a few minutes shorter than expected. As we were seated at our table, we couldn't help but notice that it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned. There were still a few crumbs from the previous diners. However, our waitress promptly came over to take our order and she was both friendly and professional. One thing that really bothered me was the condition of the walls underneath the windows next to our table. They were extremely dirty and appeared as though they hadn't been cleaned in years. This was not only unsightly, but also made me feel a bit uneasy about the overall cleanliness of the establishment. When it came to the food, it was a bit of a mixed bag. My omelette was a delight - it was packed with tasty meat, cheese, and cooked to perfection. The potatoes that accompanied it had good flavor, but were a bit on the boring side. On the other hand, I had heard other diners raving about the donuts, so I couldn't resist trying an Apple fritter, which is a classic favorite of mine. Unfortunately, I was quickly disappointed when I took my first bite. The fritter lacked the distinct taste of apples and cinnamon that I was hoping for. It barely had any glaze on top and the amount of apple pie filling on it was minimal. Apple fritters are supposed to be generously filled with diced apples throughout the pastry, creating a sensational experience with every bite. This particular donut was a letdown and definitely not worth the $4 plus dollars. To add to the mixed reviews, my wife's pancakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but that could have been due to the choice of toppings. While the omelette was a winner, I must say that I have had better breakfast experiences at many other restaurants throughout Ocean City. Considering all of these factors, I have made the decision to add this particular restaurant to my list of places that I will not be returning to. However, I won't go as far as to say that I do not recommend it, as the omelette was truly enjoyable. But for me personally, it's not a place I will be revisiting in the future. With a score of 18.5 out of 25 stars, I give this restaurant a C. read more

Food itself was good. However, we waited an hour for food to come out. It was packed and it was busy, so we were understanding. But our server didn't even acknowledge it. Everyone basically sat around looking at each other & watching the kitchen waiting for any sign of food to come out. There are better places to go, I do not recommend. read more

Went for a late breakfast. We were cutting it close; got there a few minutes to 12, and they close at 1pm. There was a wait of about 26 minutes. Our server was nice and efficient... took our drink order first. While he was getting our drinks, it gave us a couple of minutes to finalize what we wanted to order. Then it was 25 minutes before we received our order. My steak was kind of rubbery, and scrambled eggs were dry (I should have asked for cheese on top). I'm using the Metadata time info from my images to include the wait times. read more

The kids and I got up early to go see the sunrise on vacation. After we walked on the beach we stopped into Layton's because the kids were wanting to eat. Service was fast and friendly. My daughter gave the bacon two thumbs up and said it was a 10 out of 10. Good breakfast all around, I got eggs Benedict and the eggs weren't poached, so a little different, but tasty! The doughnuts were great we got a half dozen to go for the rest of the family. Definitely a good spot for breakfast. read more

The food was nasty! Bacon was undercooked, home fries had no seasoning, and the coffee was AWFUL, not even 6 packs of sugar and 3 creams could save it. The table was so sticky I tried to lift my coffee and the cup was stuck to the table. I had to pour some of my water on the table to clean it! And all of this costs almost $20 just for me! I do not recommend! read more

Fabulous food and service. The fritter is delicious! Service was quick, food came quickly and everything was perfect. Highly recommend.

I previously stated that this place was great, well I need to recount that....... The DONUTS are AMAZING!!! The girls at the register doing the donuts are very nice. However, had breakfast there this morning. Me and my husband dont get why its so packed. His waffle was chewy and he had to use his own pocket knife to cut it. I had oatmeal and fruit, both were good. But lets get real, neither of those items were "cooked". Nothing special. The coffee was way too bitter. Service also wasnt that great. Felt like our server was preoccupied with other "regulars" than tending to us as well. Also, went to the restroom, where the toilet paper roll was on the floor, how is that sanitary...???? The toilet paper thing wasnt even on the stall. So I am assuming they need a new one. read more

Layton's Family Restaurant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Service was fine, but the food was unimpressive and way too much money. $36 for two egg sandwiches a pancake and so-called homefries. We had to send a sandwich back because it was incorrect. When I got the new sandwich, I asked for scrambled eggs on the sandwich. They gave me an omelette folded in fours on an English muffin that was barely toasted so it was soggy, the home fries were eight pieces, some of them were burnt and some not cooked completely. It really is not hard to make decent food so I'm shocked when something is simple as egg sandwiches and home fries can be so bad. With restaurants charging so much money, thenthen they need to step up and do much better. read more

Layton's Family Restaurant - Egg white veggies omelet with tomatoes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

A long time Ocean City tradition with solid breakfast offerings. Always stop in when in town.

This one gets zero from me. Food was not as described in reviews. This place was bad not only was the food bad. Coffee sucked also. Sasuage gravy had no Sasuage, eggs were over cooked bacon was burnt Sasuage tasted like thanks giving Sasuage loaded with sage not breakfast or country Sasuage. Peppers and onion were raw in omelet. Toast was not toasted. Then when we get bill it someone's bill from another table server knew about before I brought it up. She was going to let me pay to fix her mistake. Not cool shame on you. Ambiance was old and dirty just look around then go to the bathroom. If you want to get grossed out that is. Stay far away. read more

Not great. It took a while to be seen after being seated on a Monday at 8am (not busy judging by the empty tables). Once we were seen the server was nice and cheerful. The food itself was whatever. It was not really hot. The coffee was tragic. Save your $$. Go hit up the McDonald's down the road or try another breakfast place. Maybe this was just an off day for them but I would not go back. read more

Old school restaurant my wife use to visit every time she is in town. Donuts are great but to me just another breakfast place on the beach

Absolutely wonderful place to have breakfast. Small, cozy atmosphere. Feels welcoming. Lots of fresh baked donut options, although we didn't try them. I tried the breakfast with eggs, home fries, toast and crab cakes. I added a second crab cake. It came out quick and was extremely hot and fresh. The coffee was excellent. The service was excellent. The price was also very reasonable for a tourist area. I 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a great breakfast spot in Ocean City, Maryland! read more

No Better Breakfast Spot on the Beach !!! On a recent visit to my old stomping grounds of DC my oldest son wanted to take his 11 yo nephew to his favorite Atlantic beach town, OCMD. We enjoyed Breakfast here on our first morning in town. I had been eating Crab nonstop since I got to the shore, as usual, so the Eastern Shore Crabber from their Omelet selection was right on track for me. It rocked, I couldn't have done better. My Grandson had a Pancake the size of his plate with Bacon and my Son had the Breakfast Burrito as expected since I call him "Hunior". We should've come back the following day because or Breakfast choice didn't work out so well. The Chipped Beef Gravy was as good as Mom's I recommend it and I highly recommend Layton's for breakfast on your next foray to the Eastern Shore of MD. Ay Dare Boy! read more

It is not a trip to Ocean City without having breakfast at Layton's. The food is delicious and the variety is great. The food is prepared properly and is a generous portion.

Layton's Family Restaurant [LFR]. (3 stars). Note: The hours on the door say 0630-1300 daily but they aren't always open during those times... I suppose the off season allows for this but it is difficult to plan... Call before you go!! LFR is located in OCMD. They are a no-frills diner type restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and DONUTS made in house. The donut side of the house is called Dip'n Donuts. Randy and I stopped at LFR for our first breakfast in OCMD. He opted for the Nor'easter with sausage gravy and I got the pancakes with eggs and corned beef hash. Nor'easter: 3 scrambled eggs, onions, green peppers, bacon, sausage & potatoes topped with cheese. Sausage gravy was optional. The corned beef hash is canned and a little too salty for me but it was a hearty breakfast nonetheless. The pancakes were fluffy and not burnt like some places so I appreciated that. I decided to get the "purple crunchy" donut. Well that's what the waiter called it. It was a vibrant beautiful purple which was crunchy and delightful! The donut itself is an "old fashioned" cake donut with a glaze that had a subtle coconut flavor to it?? The purple crunchy topping didn't have any flavor that I could discern... Coffee is refillable and comes in a to go cup. Parking is available in a private shared lot. Decent diner food that is open year round in OCMD. A step above Denny's for sure! I wish LFR well. read more

Admittedly we only ended up at Layton's because in the off-season all of our normal go-to places were closed. Now, after dining, I will add Layton's to the rotation. We ordered to-go, because our pooch was with us. We selected: coconut pancakes w/scrambled eggs, and corned beef hash & the sausage and pepper jack cheese omelet The pancakes were massive! I got three LARGE pancakes caked with toppings. They do not skimp. There were mounds of shredded coconut, chucks of fresh banana packed into my pancake-it was almost more topping than pancake The eggs are just scrambled eggs, but the hash was chunky and delicious. A piece of it was a bit salty, but it was just one section-and ketchup fixes too much salt. The omelet was packed with sausage, the cheese wasn't just on top but cooked in and through. The prices are great for the quality and size of the dishes. It was a wonderful breakfast on the beach. I also appreciated the way they packed the meals to go- they provided everything in well-spaced out to go boxes, with all the fixings (syrup, ketchup, butter, and anything else we may have needed provided). It was as if we had a homecooked meal from family. read more

As a diner it was meh. Service was lacking. I ordered cream chipped beef on an English muffin and the muffin was not toasted. When I asked for Worcestershire sauce to go with it the waiter took over 15 minutes to bring it. My friend got the Belgium waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. The strawberries and whipped cream were forgotten, the waiter reminded, and that too took more than 15 minutes to get. By then our orders were tepid. It was expensive but OC is expensive. I will not return. Too many other opportunities. read more
