    3 Buttermilk Pancakes (3)
    Jason J.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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

    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!

    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.

    The glazed donut was not good. The donut was extremely toooo chewy. The chocolate glazed donut was much better- chewy still but much less chewy than the original glazed donut.

    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

    $14.99 | Meatlovers Omelette - ham, bacon, sausage, and cheese. I added diced red onions for $1. Extremely good! Potatoes were just average

We dined with friends who had some issues with their food, but to keep things fair, I'm scoring this strictly from my own experience. We arrived at 5pm and were able to take advantage of the happy hour menu. The food came out fast and had great flavor. The mussels were my favorite dish of the night. The white wine garlic butter gave them an amazing taste that left me wanting more, and they were only $11 for Happy Hour instead of the regular $15. We also ordered the crab dip for $11, normally priced at $15. I loved the dip itself, but the Old Bay toast wasn't my favorite. I enjoy Old Bay, but it didn't feel necessary here. The Baha Mahi‑Mahi was fresh, and my wife's Angus New York strip was cooked exactly how she likes it. Somehow I forgot to take a picture of her dish. I would personally come back, but my friends said they wouldn't, which is a bummer. With a score of 24 out of 25, I'm giving this restaurant an A.

The restaurant was mostly empty so this was a mostly locals happy hour crowd for sure. Regular customer next to me pronounced the seasoned bartender the greatest of all time. We ordered a couple of house margaritas ($6.50) which came in a pint glass and were plenty strong. Only needed one of those! First up, crab dip. It came in a massive vessel, bubbling hot and lots of bread. This dish was so large I ate the leftovers three times. Big chunks of crab in a standard rich base. I brought rice crackers, but husband liked this plain bread better than the oily garlic toast that accompanied the mussels. Mussels were a big pile, with toast, in a mild broth. Not spectacular but a solid presentation. And finally, the boiled shrimp with old bay. Burning our fingers in our eagerness to peel and eat these babies, we got our fill for $10. Their cocktail sauce had an excellent texture, better than just ketchup and horseradish like some bars. Anyway, nice job and very economical! Bartender seemed disappointed we didn't need refills on drinks, but tomorrow is another day! Thanks for the hospitality, Coins!

I usually can only tolerate Buxy's for one drink and have to leave because of the sensory overload. The sensory overload is a combination of the loud background noise, bright lights, and intense visual stimuli.

We shared the " corned beef Primanti " on sour dough , which was surprisingly good. The menu did say it was thick cut brisket , the more tender corned beef is the "point cut" . The meat was a bit tough and chewy so I cut it up into small pieces and it was much better. I removed the fries so the bread didn't get soggy , and kept the coleslaw and we both agreed this was a really good sandwich. I definitely want to come back again and try more of "Burgh food " items like the pierogis, Pittsburgh salad, and kielbasa but in the OFF peak hours .

We always order two for the table, but this year they were burnt and had very few toppings with almost no cilantro crema. Please see the photo for the side‑by‑side comparison. My son also looks forward to the chocolate milkshake every summer, but the machine was reportedly down for the next hour. I understand that things happen, but it added to an already disappointing food experience. Several people in our group ordered chicken sandwiches and said the chicken was extremely chewy. None of them finished their meal. Brass Balls, I truly hope this is not the new norm. With so many dining options, this is the quickest way to lose loyal customers. Customer service - 5 out of 5 Wait time - 5 out of 5 Cleanliness - 5 out of 5 Atmosphere - 5 out of 5 Food quality - 2 out of 5 With a total score of 22 out of 25, I am giving this place a B+.

The cream of tomato soup was equally good, carrying over those same rich croutons and cheese to tie the meal together seamlessly.

Our main motivation for visiting was to see Jordan and Cowan, both of whom previously worked at Off The Hook in Bethany Beach. Jordan noticed us first and came over to say hello and share an update, and Cowan followed shortly after to do the same. I enjoyed two Sazeracs on the rocks for $10 each; unique to Hooked, this iconic New Orleans cocktail is a spirit-forward blend of Elijah Craig rye whiskey, aromatic bitters, a sugar cube, and an absinthe rinse, finished with a bright lemon twist. We also shared the happy hour wood-fired grilled oysters Reggiano with butter, garlic, blackening parmesan cheese, and salt for $19, though they tasted very salty. Additionally, I had the happy hour lobster roll on a toasted buttered brioche roll for $21, substituting the french fries with a side of coleslaw. It tasted quite similar to the lobster roll at Off The Hook in Bethany Beach. I finished my meal with a happy hour draft Evo Lot 3 beer for $6. Our bartender, Jon L., served us very well throughout the visit. The total bill was $128 excluding gratuity, which featured a 3% credit card surcharge of $3.57. After applying a $50 gift letter discount, the final bill was reduced down to $81. We all agreed that we will certainly return to visit Jordan and Cowan again.
