Not your average breakfast joint! My wife's family has been vacationing in Ocean City for years and…read morethis was everyone's first visit to Hooked on Breakfast. One of the servers who knows our niece suggested we stop by for breakfast during her shift and recommended we come before 8 am as it gets busy. By the time we arrived (after 8 am lol) our only option was to sit outside, otherwise the wait would've been 45 minutes--she was right. When I say I'm not a breakfast person, I don't mean I dislike breakfast foods. I just don't enjoy eating early in the day. This did not stop me from looking through pictures on Yelp and Google (Wow! Everything looked delicious!) and through the menu which had some very intriguing options including Woody's Scrap Pile, Cannoli Pancakes, and Breakfast Sushi (only on Tuesdays) just to name a few. The menu has all your typical breakfast foods and combos you'd find at any diner or breakfast joint, but then there are also much more unique, elaborate "craft" options that really make this menu stand out. Our server, who is also a teacher in my niece's school, was great. She was friendly, attentive, professional, frequently checked in, and was especially good with the kids, offering crayons and their choice of colored straws. While I didn't eat, my 5 star rating is based on the service (of course), the coffee, and unanimous positive remarks from around the table. I really liked the coffee mugs. They were large (larger than your average coffee mug), sturdy mugs that were filled nearly to the brim with piping hot coffee. My wife got the Sour Dough Delight--grilled sour dough topped with bacon, goat cheese, arugula, balsamic reduction (which she skipped) and two eggs (any style). She loved it and told me she'd absolutely order it again after she tries the Avocado Naan. Guess we're coming back at least twice more lol! Our table also had an Omelette, a breakfast sandwich, and French Toast. Everyone enjoyed their food and the portion sizes were huge--I don't think anybody finished their plate. While I did think the prices were fair, especially for the quality and quantity of food served, the online menu hadn't been updated to reflect current prices. I can see why they get as busy as they do and why they've received so many 5 star reviews. I'm sure Hooked on Breakfast will be added to our list of stops on our annual Ocean City family vacation after our experience this July.

It's not an Ocean City family vacation without multiple trips to Kessel's! During our week at the…read moreshore, we visited Kessel's three times: takeout on our first night, ice cream mid-week, and an early dine-in dinner before heading home. As always, each of our three experiences this July were fantastic, with our last shining the most. We typically do take-out on night number one, and like in years past, the food is always ready on time and prepared as ordered. We ordered an array of items including Cheesesteaks, Chicken Caesar Wrap, Burgers, Grilled Cheese, Fries, and Onion Rings. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The line stretched around the side of the building the night we stopped for ice cream, but it moved quickly. Staff efficiently took orders, prepared cones and sundaes, and kept the line moving despite the large crowd. While take-out is always great from Kessel's, I will always prefer dining in! You really can't beat the old-school diner vibes and decor, and the service is outstanding. Julia, our server, did an incredible job with our party of 7. She was highly attentive, frequently checked in, and really added to our experience. My Cheesesteak Hoagie with hot peppers may have been my favorite thing I've ordered from Kessel's to date, but it's hard to go wrong with anything on the menu. The burgers and wraps are also solid choices. I also ordered a fresh Peach Sundae and I highly recommend! Julia even made my sundae herself in addition to waiting tables, and it tasted every bit as good as it looked. Absolutely picture-worthy! Kessel's is a cash-only establishment, but for seven people--including sandwiches, burgers, wraps, multiple orders of fries, and a few desserts--the total was just over $100. That's an incredible value especially at the Jersey Shore. Kessel's will always be a staple of our family vacations and continues to be a highlight for our nieces. If you've yet to experience breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just an ice cream sundae from this adorable, little, retro-feeling diner, please pay them a visit. I think you'll be glad you did.

It is normal to find oneself with a peculiar sense of being without time, and being within a coca-cola controlled dimension between ours and that of our forebears. It is crucial that you ignore any compunction to run screaming out the front door and onto the streets of Ocean City. I assure you, they are not there. What you see through those windows is an illusion to illicit comfort in your mortal mind. In actuality you have been removed to an extra-temporal imposition of Americana-kitsch. Once you have reconciled this fact and cleansed yourself of any unclean thoughts you may proceed to your booth, where you will order one cheeseburger and one strawberry milkshake. It is important that you order only these two items, as ordering any others will upset the delicate harmonics that weave our world with it. You will enjoy them. You will Pay. Only now will you be returned to our reality. It is an archaic anti-theft measure, but it is an effective one. You will leave. Be safe.

We dined at Dino's for dinner during the week in the summer with a party of 8. Half of our party…read moreate here last year and had a great experience with their seafood, so they recommended we come back during this year's vacation. They do not take reservations even for larger parties, but we were seated immediately upon arriving. From the menu, the vibe, the layout, and the decor, everything about Dino's screamed diner. Lots of menu options to choose from, but everyone was set on seafood. We started with two orders of the Stuffed Mushrooms with Crabmeat. What a start to our meals. They were surprisingly delicious, diner or not! Our entrees came with a soup or salad, and two sides. My wife opted for the split pea soup while I upgraded to snapper soup for a $1 up charge. Both soups were very good as well, and the dollar up charge for the snapper soup was totally worth it. Most of us opted for some kind of broiled seafood platter. I ordered the broiled seafood combo which came with shrimp, scallops, flounder, deviled clam, and a crab cake. My wife chose the broiled scallops and flounder. While the crab cake and deviled clam were delicious, we both agreed the flounder, shrimp, and scallops were bland. As sides we had green beans, fried zucchini, baked potatoes, French fries, and mashed potatoes, most of which were underwhelming. My father-in-law's mashed potatoes came out barely warm, the marinara we requested for the zucchini tasted more like stewed tomatoes, and my baked potato was kind of soggy from being wrapped in foil. Seven of our dinners arrived fairly quickly. Our server, who was actually very good, informed me that someone bumped her tray and they needed to remake my entree. All good, I understand things happen, but my meal didn't come out until everyone else was almost finished eating so I felt rushed. I was offered ice cream or Jell-o as consolation which was a nice gesture, but not worth me accepting especially since we were all so stuffed from the huge portion sizes. I would 100% give Dino's another chance. There were definitive bright spots: stuffed mushrooms, soups, crab cakes, deviled clams, green beans. Next time I'd pass on the seafood and leave the diner food to the diner. Dino's was and I did not notice anybody else ordering seafood. Maybe just a rookie mistake on our part.
