    This place was very nice; a typical New Jersey diner. Ive been living in upper township for the past three years and I can't believe I just went here couple weeks ago. Service was great and food was good. Price was also reasonable. Apparently this place gets packed up during the summer so yep

    Chipped beef
    Fred B.

    We make a trip to The Village Kitchen every year--both on our way to Cape May, NJ and on the way back--and it never disappoints. The food is consistently outstanding, and the service is just as excellent. This cozy spot is a hidden gem for breakfast and lunch. The chipped beef, in particular, is absolutely outstanding--easily one of the best we've had. Highly recommended!

    Turkey special grilled was excellent
    Alex T.

    Lunch was chicken rice soup which was excellent and ended up getting a quart to go. Turkey special that I got grilled was delicious. Turkey was a little dry but overall a good option. Wife had tuna salad sandwich 1/2. She liked it. Service was friendly and good as usual

    First time I've dined here, but the rest of my party has been here several times for breakfast. It is cash only. The food was delicious, the coffee was tasty, and the service was over the top wonderful-everyone who waited on us was friendly and knowledgeable-made sure I knew certain ingredients were in what I was ordering, asked which kind of hot sauce was preferred, came back with both regular and decaf each time they saw our cups getting lower- honestly, the food was great but the workers are the reason I will come back!

    Two eggs over easy, shredded hash browns, crispy bacon, and a pancake

    We ate here twice in the three days we were in town. The food is fabulous, and the service was excellent. They cooked over medium eggs exactly over medium. The home fries and hash browns were both perfectly crispy. They only take cash, and they have an atm onsite.

    The Ambience, Food, Service from the younger waitresses was excellent. The season waitress behavior was with a questionable undertones. The food was delicious.

    Scrambled eggs, pork roll and home fries
    Michelle S.

    So good! Great service! Friendly staff! Food came out HOT and delicious! I really liked the home fries :) Pork roll was cooked perfectly. Easy to get to from OCNJ south end. Cute place I will definitely be back :) Oh- it is cash only so plan accordingly...atm on the premises if needed.

    Had breakfast the other day and I was shocked at the bill way to high for one meal. Don't recommend ever.

    No matter what you order (breakfast) is better than any other place you've ever eaten. It's cozy and comfy in there too.

    Hooked on Breakfast is so welcoming and all the staff are very very nice!! Also yummy food !read more

    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.

Tables had bottled plastic Dasani bottles, very odd and screams cheapy picnic vibes. The app w portabello mushroom def did not taste fresh - veggies were wilted and tasted almost spoiled. Entrees were average to below average. The seabass w jumbo lump crabmeat is definitely misleading. There was a piece of crabmeat that was thumbnail sized. I wasn't sure what it was. Looked like something that fell in there by accident. Just don't offer the crabmeat, if you're putting in a .005oz. Looks questionable. The biggest issue is the broken AC. This should be communicated to customers. Not a pleasant experience if you're sweating while eating your dinner. Overall I'd say save your money, go someplace w at least a working AC
