    The Spicy Scram with a taste of wagfle from BF's plate ;)

    Ambiance was very calm and relaxing. Food was delicious! Def recommend the spicy scram! The waffles were the best. A little crispy on outside but soft inside! I will be back for lunch.

    Gardens Scram.  Scrambled eggs, potatos, tomato, caramelized onions and spinach.

    Our family ordered wings on our last night in OC and they were great! All of us loved them. Staff was friendly and attentive.

    Waitress was a tweaker and the food tasted like it sat out in the cold for 10 minutes.

Fresh lettuce, tomato, onion, bun, everything works. Quality! The tomato actually stood out. You can tell they care. No top or bottom piece, just a perfect slice.

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.

The food had a unique and interesting Caribbean flair throughout. Chicken tacos- they were very good with a decent price . It had a very good sauce. Crab quesadilla was ok, but needed a little more seasoning. The flounder Ruben was amazing. The Jamaican me crazy salad, was huge with mango, strawberries and chicken in a tortilla bowl. Almost too healthy. Can't go wrong with chicken tenders- the fries were nice and crispy. The restaurant itself had a nautical decor. It was really tight in the restaurant- almost too small for the amount of people in the place- they do have outdoor seating. Prices were on the higher side, but the amount of food made it feel worth it. My brother said this was the first time in awhile that he couldn't finish a meal. Make sure to make a reservation if you're coming with a group, and note that they close at 8 PM, so plan accordingly. Overall, a flavorful and memorable experience with very generous servings. Server was great. Even offered to take a picture of all of us.

We started with fried pickles and calamari. The calamari was like chewing a rubber band way overcooked. The whole table had seafood options that were ultra fresh but the sides were a little lackluster. Service was on point. Nothing special but close and convenient if you're in OCNJ.

We arrived just after opening and found seating very easily. Between 9 and 10:30 the inside started really filling up with folks, so if you're an early riser, stop in early. The staff was so friendly. We were seated in the back on the first floor at what appeared to be an old sewing machine table. The inside was clean and had a country vibe. Menu wise they have a ton of coffee options. Flavored lattes out the yin-yang including their Boardwalk latte series that has shore inspired flavors. I had the Cuban - Cuban roast, muddled sugar and steamed milk. It was flipping delicious!!! The breakfast menu had choices for all palates. My wife had an omelet, my mother a stack of pancakes with strawberries and our friends raved about the pumpkin patch French toast and veggie omelet. I had two over-easy eggs with rye toasted and pork roll. I know my choice was a safe pick, but I was happy with the comfort of the basics! Everyone devoured their food and left happy and full. The prices weren't terrible and the portions were large. I can't say a bad thing about our visit to Jon & Patty's. Thanks guys!!

It's literally part of the Pavilion at 8th and Atlantic, beach block. Hard to imagine a better location for foot traffic. There's a covered patio with AstroTurf that was perfect on the sunny, breezy Friday morning. Brenda's is billed as authentic Mexican cuisine and a neon sign out front reinforces "Breakfast." Therefore we settled on huevos rancheros and the breakfast tacos. Wow! again. Everything is cooked to order and was crazy fresh. I mean garden fresh. The onions were sweet and crunchy. The tomatoes were firm and juicy. The black beans were delicious. For both dishes the street taco sized tortillas were freshly grilled, crispy edges and delicate centers that didn't break despite being generously filled. We also got a side order of home fries that were kind of magical. No ads-ins, onions or pepper. No additional salt to be detected. Just small potatoes cut in halves and wedges, subtle, even seasoning throughout. Simple. Absolutely delicious. Our only regret was finding Brenda's on the last morning of our stay but we come down a couple times a summer and will absolutely put this on top rotation! Loved everything about our visit. Kudos to Brenda and her family.
