Route 66 Diner OCMD

My wife and I stopped in here to Route 66 diner in Ocean City, Maryland due to everything else basically being closed in the winter time. And boy are we glad we did from the service to the food. Everything was absolutely awesome! Lori was our waitress and she did fantastic. My wife had the corned beef hash, and I had the build your own omelette and we split some pancakes with blueberries. Everything was great! Worth taking the chance…. Oh yeah, they have a bar!

Ate here for the first time in September 2024. I decided to order breakfast. Eggs, hash browns, bacon. Food was very good. Bacon was cooked the way I like it and was crispy. The waitress kept my drink full. I liked the old time dinner feel inside. Next time I'll have to try a lunch item.

Recently opened diner...some growing pains and curves expected. We were greeted enthusiastically and seated. Service was quick to get our orders. I asked for the Shrimp & Grits that was a Saturday special. Also the Smash Burger Tacos and the Gouda Grilled Cheese with Tomato soup. Food came in a reasonable time. The shrimp was done quite well along with the bacon/spinach topping. Disappointed in the grits, they weren't cooked completely and had a hard, chewy texture with very bland flavor. I did let it sit till the end of the meal and improved slightly in texture. Smash tacos were excellent. Enjoyed the grilled cheese and soup, though the soup could be a little creamier for mouth feel. Will definitely return to try some other items. Especially being new, and working out kinks. Looking forward to seeing this place take off!

This is a brand new place with plenty of seating and open almost 24 hrs (they close at 4am!) a rarity for OC during the week and weekends when food places are closed. Coffee pot coffee was lukewarm. Portions for food were perfect, biscuits were to die you get two biscuits that are freshly baked and really good in size and taste. Everyone liked their food, eggs Benedict were a hit Belgian waffles and a Reuben sandwich were all yummy and tasty. Corned beef hash scrambled eggs and hash brown were good. Service was ok, but then again it’s a luck of the draw with the seasonal servers that descend on OC for work. Did I say they are open until 4am? So breakfast for late sleepers is great choice here.

I can only describe the food as nasty. The pancakes were flat with no flavor. I ordered eggs w/cheese they has no salt pepper and barely any cheese. My husband had unseasoned chicken &waffles. The only good thing at this place was the staff and the coffee.

We were the only ones in the restaurant which should have been a red flag from the beginning but being from out of town and off season we decided to try in anyway. First let me start out by telling you what we ordered. I ordered French onion soup a side salad and Salisbury steak ( which I was told was their recipe) because the two choices I wanted first they didn’t have. My husband ordered the deal of a pizza with 6 wings for $15.99 which is reasonable. So let me begin by saying when they brought me the soup it was ice cold then they heated it up and I burnt myself on the crock. But before that they brought my husband his pizza. A few minutes later my cold soup. Then they brought his wings a few minutes after that. Then I finally got my salad about 5 minutes after that and immediately followed by my dinner. Who brings out one food item at a time? 2 people in the restaurant and took all that time to get our items one at a time? The pizza we were told was homemade dough it tasted just like freezer pizza from the supermarket and not the good kind. After they heated up the soup and I finally got to taste it, it was tasteless and disgusting. The Salisbury steak tasted like a hunk of ground meat just thrown on a plate. No flavor at all. And you don’t get to choose any sides you want it only came with potatoes that had skin which I don’t like and string beans that left a weird taste in my mouth. For a diner this is unusual you usually get to pick your sides but here they only had potatoes and string beans no matter what you ordered. And this wasn’t a paper specials menu this is their permanent menu. Then when we got the bill it was $20 more than it should have been good thing we looked before just paying the bill. I would not recommend going here at all. There is however an amazing buffet next door or a Denny’s down the street.

Great food! Highly recommend! We enjoyed our breakfast. I got an eggs Benedict and it was delicious with a perfect runny egg. My husband got shrimp and grits and it was amazing. My son got a pancake and scrapple. He devoured the scrapple and loved the pancake. Will definitely go again and really looking forward to going for lunch and dinner.

This is my new favorite place to go for breakfast/brunch/lunch. We were 6 people. The waiter was professional and on point and welcoming at the same time. The food was delicious! I don’t like hash browns at all and I ate them all!! Their chili and their avocado smoked salmon toast was from another world. The place has a really cool decoration. I can’t wait to go back.
