The Kitchen

Definitely a place to visit while in Ocean City, MD. Second trip to Ocean City in a couple years and had to make a return visit to the Kitchen. Clean and well maintain interior, great customer service and fantastic food. Wife had the seafood omelet, she said was delicious. You could see the large pieces of seafood throughout the omelet, but it was not overpowered by old bay. I had the pancake combo which was great as well. Pancakes were firm enough to pick up with a fork but soft enough to melt in your mouth. Bacon came out exactly as ordered (extra crispy) without being burned. Home fried potatoes, could easily be seem as homemade not precut or just deep fried, these had a great flavor. Good coffee and reasonably priced. Will continue to keep coming back.

Terrible service. We are locals who also work in the service industry, so we don’t ask for much when eating out and we always tip well. However, this experience was entirely unacceptable. Our server ignored us for ten minutes while we sat with menus that a bus boy gave us. The bus boy and hostess were the only people to greet us kindly or apologize for the terrible service. Our server waited on two tables who were seated after us before ever acknowledging us. Then, she forgot our juice order and only brought our food. I ordered the two egg meal, but she did not give me the toast and said it would be out soon. After waiting for 5-10 minutes I flagged down the very nice hostess who apologized again. When the toast came, the server slapped it down on the table without a word. There was only one single slice of toasted bread, uncut. Our server ignored us, so I again asked the hostess for help. The breakfast is supposed to come with two slices of cut toast. Finally, the server brought me a piece of bread (was only toasted on one side and not warm), cut in half, with jelly and butter. Finally. Tell me why your servers think it is acceptable to treat customers this way? Why on earth was it so challenging for this server to greet us, or simply bring the food and drinks we ordered? She was an older Caucasian woman wearing vans with blondish hair. The lovely hostess (who acted more like the manager on duty) apologized again to us as we left. It seemed like she was used to dealing the messes created by the awful server. Wish I could’ve tipped her instead of the server, since the hostess did her job for her. The food that I received did taste very good—the breakfast potatoes especially. Photo shows the second piece of “toast” I was given compared to the first. One piece of bread is still white. My eggs were cold by the time I got the toast..

This place is a 10. An old school style diner. The orange juice is worth the trip, it is fantastic. They use fresh blueberries in their pancakes. The service was wonderful. The hash browns are unique and made daily. It may look a little rough around the edges but the food outshines any preconceived doubts.

After a bad experience at another restaurant for breakfast where we left without even getting food and taking us past normal breakfast hours, this place was a dream come true. All day breakfast is just what we were looking for. The service was amazing. We were seated quickly and the waitress was attentive and personable. The food was priced fairly and was absolutely delicious! All three of our meals were cooked perfect and very tasty. Our waitress noticed the toast was a bit dark and had more made for us without being asked. The bus boy came to clear plates while I was still eating which I know rubs some people wrong, but the tables are small and he was polite and friendly. Also, to be honest I appreciate the efficiency and attentiveness. I really enjoyed this experience and will be happy to come back again. Thank you to all the staff who helped make it an enjoyable experience!

This was our second visit. It is nice to walk to breakfast. Staff are attentive and quick. Fresh squeezed OJ $4.75. Fresh, hot, good coffee with quick refills but no specialty creamers. Seafood omelet was dry, overcooked and tasteless. Needed a light white cheese or seafood sauce, They have sausage on menu. It is a single small link. Fresh Sliced potatoes: they seem to have onion powder on them, but I would prefer the option of adding peppers and onions, or at least fried onions. We came because hubby wanted pancakes. He was disappointed. He said they were thin. Our toast was cooked perfectly.
