My wife was really excited to give this restaurant a try for breakfast because she had been there once before and loved their pancakes. When we arrived, we noticed that the restaurant was quite busy, but the estimated wait time of 15 minutes was pretty accurate, if not a few minutes shorter than expected.
As we were seated at our table, we couldn't help but notice that it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned. There were still a few crumbs from the previous diners. However, our waitress promptly came over to take our order and she was both friendly and professional.
One thing that really bothered me was the condition of the walls underneath the windows next to our table. They were extremely dirty and appeared as though they hadn't been cleaned in years. This was not only unsightly, but also made me feel a bit uneasy about the overall cleanliness of the establishment.
When it came to the food, it was a bit of a mixed bag. My omelette was a delight - it was packed with tasty meat, cheese, and cooked to perfection. The potatoes that accompanied it had good flavor, but were a bit on the boring side. On the other hand, I had heard other diners raving about the donuts, so I couldn't resist trying an Apple fritter, which is a classic favorite of mine.
Unfortunately, I was quickly disappointed when I took my first bite. The fritter lacked the distinct taste of apples and cinnamon that I was hoping for. It barely had any glaze on top and the amount of apple pie filling on it was minimal. Apple fritters are supposed to be generously filled with diced apples throughout the pastry, creating a sensational experience with every bite. This particular donut was a letdown and definitely not worth the $4 plus dollars.
To add to the mixed reviews, my wife's pancakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but that could have been due to the choice of toppings. While the omelette was a winner, I must say that I have had better breakfast experiences at many other restaurants throughout Ocean City.
Considering all of these factors, I have made the decision to add this particular restaurant to my list of places that I will not be returning to. However, I won't go as far as to say that I do not recommend it, as the omelette was truly enjoyable. But for me personally, it's not a place I will be revisiting in the future.
With a score of 18.5 out of 25 stars, I give this restaurant a C.
