They actually got so busy, so some orders got mixed up, they chose to give us extra food for the trouble.

We ordered the French toast, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, hash brown, The Nashville Hot Chicken which comes with Mac-n-Cheese (MUST TRY), smoothies and ice coffee.

We saw some good ratings and gave this place a shot and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff who helped us make the right selection. As my wife was fasting, she went with a small fruit bowl, my son chose shortstack pancakes, and I tried the veggie hash. The fruit bowl was decorated well and had plenty of variety. From blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, watermelons, apples, bananas, and others, all the fruits were fresh and perfectly ripe. The pancakes were very large and just one would have been more than enough for two people it seems but they even added berries for my son on them. The veggie hash had lots of potential. It was cooked well, however, lacked seasoning. It seemed slightly bland and I had to utilize ketchup to give it some identity. However, the quality and variety of veggies inside was great. Overall, I am giving four stars due to the fact that the prices are high, but the service and quality are worth it; especially for such a close location to the boardwalk.

The waitress did suggest that the portion sides are big and we probably should do one savory and one sweet... and me being the one with the sweet tooth, I had laser focus dedication to get the seafood crepe... my wife got the Seafood Ariel and later we realized they're more or less the same thing except one is lumped on top of breakfast potatoes and the other is lumped o a crepe with old bay. Sharing with my wife was pointless ugh... should have listened to the waitress. The serving size is really large but the seafood did taste that well seasoned but the crepes was sweet and balanced. Really should have gotten something sweet. I really did love the decor. They did really go hard with the pink and strawberries but I completely loved it. Next time I come back definitely with get something more sweet. Oh the freshly squeezed grapefruit is delicious.

They have a some parking along a strip just past the place. It was late but there were some folks at the bar watching football, we sat at one of the side tables. I ordered a beer and looked at the menu. Wasn't quite sure what to expect so we went with an order of mozzarella sticks and I got a cheesesteak. Gentleman behind the bar was working hard holding down the bar and food for those sitting around. For a tavern style cheesesteak I really enjoyed this, very nice grinder roll and it was a really solid amount of cheesesteak, highly recommend. The mozz sticks were good as well, no complaints.

We walked from our hotel and checked in about 15min before our reservation, and were immediately sat. Don't seem overly busy which is never a good thing in a vacation destination. We were sat along the windows and put in a drink order. I got an old fashioned which was fine. I ordered the cream of crab soup as a starter. Soup was solid, but the flavor was pretty lacking. As my entree I went with the bleu cheese encrusted steak. I ordered it medium-well, which is what you do at a place that doesn't have steak in its name or isn't billed as a steakhouse. That way when the undercook it (as most do) it'll be the preferred medium temp. Anyway, the steak came out and WAS NOT encrusted. The potatoes that were served with it were very good but undercooked and slimy. The vegetables looked just forced and were thrown on the plate to add color not flavor. Our waitress Devin was nice, but she could tell the kitchen wasn't providing a good meal. We skipped dinner and went to Dumser's. Meh - wouldn't go back.

It's now 11:14 ( I came in at 10:28 but because of the wait, I decided to order lunch instead of breakfast) . Manager didn't know what the soup of the day was, nor was it written on their board in the back. She returned and said that there wasn't a soup of the day. ...it's now 11:28..food arrives...Crab dip )with a side of day old bread) was a bit weird with unknown items inside . Banging shrimp has a mediocre bang to it. I ordered the crab cake meal and the crab cake sandwich came out The worst "upscale" meal/experience ever. The waiter brings the bill and said some of my drinks were taken cared of (I ordered two in total) and instead only one was removed. Waste of fucking time and money.

Customer Service: Hands down the best we experienced during our 9-day family trip to OCMD. Karri, our waitress, made us feel like family, loved her. Jeff & Mike were professional, friendly, and made a point to engage with every table. Breakfast? PHENOMENAL. Best we've had, not just this summer, but in all our years visiting OCMD. My wife and son agree. Everything was homemade and cooked to order. No frozen shortcuts. Portions were just right, flavors balanced beautifully, and nothing overly sweet. Nashville Hot Stuffed French Toast: The bourbon and caramelized apples stole the show. Chicken was a fun twist, though next time I'd get it on the side to keep the sweet and spicy separate. You can skip the chicken altogether and save $4 if you'd like. Banana Foster French Toast: Mind-blowing. The kind of dish that makes you question everything you've ever called "breakfast." Plate was licked clean. Already dreaming of it for summer 2026. Creamed Chipped Beef over Biscuits: Shared this one. Generous portion, nostalgic flavor, clearly a recipe passed down and perfected. Triple Decker: My son had the chocolate chip pancakes, huge portion, perfect texture, and he loved every bite. Only minor con: straws come unwrapped in your drink. Not a dealbreaker, but something to note. Final score: 25/25. Solid A+. Verdict: Highly recommended. We'll be back in summer 2026, no question.
