I had a good time trying Route 66 and would recommend it if your craving breakfast at 5pm. The ambience was pretty neat with the artowork and artifacts from the past. I often wonder if the cash register was used for actual transactions. I felt like the severs were all over the place doing their own thing but they were quick with my food. I ordered the French Toast and it was alright even with butter. read more

We were walking into the diner, and another woman came in and jumped in front of us first. At first the server was going to seat her until she saw her party was not there, so then she seated us. The server was very nice, but the food took over 30 minutes for 2 burgers and an order of pancakes. The server was arguing with the cook, loud enough for us to hear. She yelled at him, telling him that the pancakes should have been made first. The food was good, but a little cold from sitting on the counter, definitely not at the required 135 degrees, by the time that we received them! There was only one other party of 4, so there is no reason for the delay in food, other than the cook's organizational skills. Waitress was very nice and apologetic. Decent place to eat if you are ok with a long wait! We visited other Route 66 restaurants and the speed of service has been much better. read more

Route 66 - Empty at 2pm in August tourist season - Diners Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

We had a lot of chaos, dinner plans fell through, was around town, and found our way here really late at night. We were the only ones there other than the staff. Late night menu only, but who cares. My wife wanted a cinnamon bun breakfast sandwich, which wasn't on the menu, but the staff made it for her. I ordered the smash burger tacos. Wow, these tacos were amazing. I love places that give me stuff like that, tasted like a better big mac in taco form. Service was great, went out of their way a bit for us, and just gave us a nice break and a pleasant evening. read more

Family of 6 with 6 different orders and they somehow messed up everything. The waitress was really nice but the chicken parm was dry and unseasoned, the fettuccine Alfredo was overcooked and under sauced. The burgers were dry. read more

Worst french toast ever. $15 for three tasteless slices of white bread with no side or drink, total scam. Two egg breakfast is cheaper and you get more. Our server was nice but the vibes were off, it was completely empty during peak hours. read more

Pretty aiight! They have low reviews which may be based on day and time or meal. They have plenty of servers, place was pretty empty. To be honest, it was not our first pick. Other spots were packed. However, simple menu. Most diners have pages and pages of options. They kept it simple. I was going to get a cinnamon roll but the pic of it looked small so I opted for the generously portioned shrimp and grits. Chunky grit with tons of bacon. Solid number of shrimp too. They weren't blackened, just well seasoned and grilled. My wife got an avocado BLT that came with crisp French fries and fresh bacon. Overall delish. I'd return if other spots were packed. They serve a decent flavorful meal. read more

Came for breakfast, classic eggs Benedict and the pancake and scrambled eggs were fantastic! Our server Jessica was really nice, very attentive. Very few customers, but it was closer to 10am on a Wednesday. Theme was cool, a nice break from the beach/island themes most other places have. Would definitely come for breakfast again! read more

Great service, food was good. Big breakfast for a nominal cost. Recommended for large parties as well

I thought I was going to get my kicks on Route 66, but I was a bit disappointed. After a night out and before heading back to the hotel we wanted to grab some food. Being offseason there aren't many options that stay open later than usual. So you have to pick an choose. When we showed up here there were not many people inside. We parked, walked in, and lead to a booth. Menus were given and we placed our drink order. When you order a drink I swear they give you the biggest glass you can get so that you will not need to ask for a refill. I'm not going to complain on that. The menu is quite extensive, it can take some time to read over. In fact it did take some time to go over, good thing it did because the lack of service was present. When we did finally place our order I went with the Mother Road. Figured since we came to a place called Route 66, might as well pay homage to the namesake burger. Mother Road is an eight ounce beef patty, cooked to your liking. This is then topped with pepper jack cheese, bacon, onion rings, barbecue sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion. Served with fries and a pickle rounds out the meal. This wasn't anything to write home about. The toppings really outweighed the burger. In fact, there just were too many toppings. They almost watered down the entire thing. And to put onion rings and raw onion on a burger was a bit much in my opinion. The fries, really bland. You could tell that they were frozen and just put in the fryer. The amount they give you almost makes you overlook that they were fried a bit too much. What was more off-putting here was the staff. While we were eating our food some of the kitchen staff came out to have their meal as well. They were loud and obnoxious. And it wasn't just the kitchen staff, the wait staff chipped in a bit as well. Probably won't come back here as the food and service were just lackluster. read more

First of all we arrived at 10:00 am and did not receive our food until 12:00 noon. When the order arrived it was totally wrong. The waitress did offer to cover our meal yet when we were ready to leave she advised that we needed to pay a little something. We agreed and asked for ice water before leaving and it never arrived. Not sure if the kitchen was fully staffed or not but we left disappointed and still hungry. We waited so long for our food that we did not want to send anything back to the kitchen to correct. Not the greatest experience. Sorry read more

We were greeted as we came through the door by Nico. She seated us and also let us know she'd be our server. Very cute diner, music not loud. We took several minutes to decide on our order. Nico checked back a couple of times. We settled on Chicken Parm Sammy and Smashed Burger Tacos. Food arrived in less than 15 minutes. It was fresh, hot, and delicious. Huge portion of fries. Reasonably priced and great service all around. Highly recommend! read more

Run, don't walk, to this new addition to OC. This is elevated diner food, and we loved everything we tried. Fried zucchini was crisp and hot, w a tangy tomato sauce. The Chicken and Waffle Benny was outstanding. Great flavor combo when eaten together, but each element was delicious on its own. Juicy chicken, perfectly cooked eggs, subtle hollandaise, and that waffle was seriously the best I have ever had. The Route 66 Dream was the perfect traditional breakfast. Again, perfectly cooked eggs, tasty turkey sausage, nicely grilled toast and buttery grits. Service was on point, friendly w just the right amount of attentiveness, and the food arrived quickly. I will be back soon, I need to try that Coca Cola cake sundae! read more

Had breakfast today. I can't speak to the entire menu but the creamed chipped beef was terrible and hash browns a close 2nd. I should have asked if they made their chipped beef, no way they do. It's Sysco bagged crap heated up. Hash browns frozen potatoes grilled to inedible. And not that I would have eaten it all anyway because it was just bad, but they don't give you much for $14. Anyway I tried it. I won't be back and if you're a fan of chipped beef, trust me, don't get it. read more

AMAZING!! The food was delicious and the decor was cool. You could have multiple people share the spaghetti it was massive portions. Everything had very big portions except the pizza which was perfect for one person. The onion rings were delicious and not overly greasy. The server was very nice. There was no one else there except us. More people should come. Thank you read more

Place has decent food. It was very empty when we walked in which made me nervous considering we had to wait at every other breakfast place. Then I remembered it was a Monday morning and not everyone is on vacation. We didn't have to wait and our waitress was great! She refilled my husband's coffee constantly and instantly won points. He loves coffee! She was a wonderful waitress and I wish I could remember her name. The ambiance is that of a cute little diner, lots of seating and very comfortable. Food was decent. My breakfast tasted a little burnt but it was still ok. My kids enjoyed it and we would come back. read more

The only positive thing about this place is the lack of crowd during peak hours. I would not recommend this place for dinner unless you are desperate like we were. Ordered a burger and it was the worst quality meat and made me instantly sick at the restaurant. The prices were also high for the quality of food they serve. I would not ever go here again for dinner. read more

First time at the restaurant. Stopped into get a burger. Was seated instantly, not many tables occupied. Waitress gave us menus and ordered our beers. Wife ordered a Michelob Ultra on tap and had a Yuengling on tap. Wife's beer was flat and tasteless. Told the waitress who got her a bottle beer. The bartender said he was sorry the tap needs to be changed. We ordered a classic burger with a charge to a different cheese of $2 and grilled onions of $1. We split the burger the first bite had a tomato that was not ripe, the burger was ok with some taste. The cost for burger with the additionals cost about $19.00. It had great fries read more

Wife and I had dinner last night 5/31. This place use to be a Dough Roller that we have been to before so we had to see how it was. I had my MD crab soup (red) have to have every trip to OC. Didn't realize how big a 12 ounce bowl is so I ordered a side salad which turned out to be as a regular sized elsewhere. Wife had hash & eggs, breakfast served all day. Between the 3 eggs, hash browns, toast and the hash itself there was enough meat to take back to the room. Food was delicious the Route 66 motorists theme and nostalgia is nice to look at. Staff was very friendly and efficient to our needs. Will definitely go back. read more

Great diner, food, and staff. A Must! Staff always makes you feel comfortable and great service.

I asked for boneless wings, got bone in. My sister also got wings, and hers were half burnt, and her maryland crab soup had so much tomatoes it practically outweighed everything else, and had little flavor, so she had to add tones of old bat. My grandmother got crab dip, which was fine, but her garlic bread was also like 25% burnt. The drinks were $4 dollars, and my sisters coke didn't even taste like coke, me and her both agreed (she did receive a lemonade in exchange however). Out waiter also was planning on getting a refill for my grandma halfway through, but never did. Besides that, I did get a milkshake which was good. All of this came to a total of $83, and we could have gotten way better food for all of that. read more

This place is awesome. The staff is amazing and attentive and the food came out quick, warm and delicious! I had the OC Omelet which was loaded with some Maryland crab and had a good amount of cheese with a perfect egg. But most of all, Route 66 Diner is an honest place, Andrew made it his number one priority to ensure I had a good time. I will be sure to be back, and you should come too, because a place like Route 66 is hard to find in today's world. Thank you Andrew, and thank you Route 66! read more
