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.

We two shared the Hawaiian French Toast (with a side of whipped cream), and the creamed chipped beef over rye with potatoes. Everything was cooked perfectly, and was served hot.

This is also one of the oldest restaurants, which was founded in 1901 and is now celebrating 150 years of business. My family of three arrived around 5:30 PM on Saturday without a reservation. We were seated at a table for four in the center of the restaurant overlooking the artificial tree and front entrance. It was a windy chilly day, because they left the front door open for customers to enter. I started with and enjoyed my two Maker's Mark Manhattans.

The gnats were extremely bad--so much so that they were landing on our food and getting into our drinks. One of the staff members did bring citronella candles to the tables, which we appreciated, but it didn't make a difference. We ended up spending over $200 and barely ate half of our meals because of the conditions. While the food itself was good, it was hard to enjoy anything with bugs constantly swarming. Even our server acknowledged how bad it was and mentioned the gnats before quickly heading back inside. What was most surprising was that no one offered to move us indoors or adjust the bill, despite multiple tables clearly dealing with the same issue. A simple acknowledgment or accommodation would have gone a long way. It's disappointing because the food was good from the few bites we had, but the overall experience makes it hard to justify returning.

We have been visiting Varsity Inn for nearly 25 years now and have always enjoyed it…read more We visited a couple days ago, and food and service was very good, as usual. Wjat was upsetting is that we noticed they are now adding hidden costs to your meal. I had a steak sandwich with onions and peppers. They charged me $2 for onions and $2 for peppers, adding an extra $4 for the meal. The added cost was not indicated on the menu, nor did the server disclose it. Another person changed out their two slices of standard toast for a slice of whole grain. That was a $1 added charge. Visitors should check their bills closesly since Varsity Inn seems to now want to add a charge for any little thing. The following night, I had a hamburger at another restaurant, and there was not an added charge for onion. Looks like we'll go elsewhere so we don't get hit with added, hidden charges.
