Asbury Kitchen - Waffle Sundae was delicious. Staff very friendly and helpful. - Gluten-Free Near Me - Ocean City, New Jersey

I had a nice brunch at Asbury Kitchen. My friend and I ordered two savory crepes and shared, and they were good. The goat cheese one was really yummy - the cheese was bursting with flavor - the egg one was a bit more bland. Also, the balsamic glaze was good, but I feel like it didn't blend well with the flavor of the egg and cheese crepe. The place itself has a simple diner feel, and has a lot of seating. It's casual and comfortable. The service was exceptional - our server was so friendly and helpful, and his vibrant energy really added to the experience. Overall, a good experience, but the food was not mind blowing. read more

My and my friends arrived at this food place and we waited over an hour for our food to come out. The food came out at different times and was completely wrong. Overall, my friends and I had to resend the food 3 times which is ridiculous. The server even gave us an attitude when we mentioned how she gave our friend chocolate chip pancakes after mentioning how she is allergic to them. read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could. Extremely rude owner!! We were told they would clean a table for us and seat us so we were waiting. The owner who was a woman came out and told us we need to wait outside. I explained they were cleaning the table to the left of us and were almost done and she proceeded to say "go outside". It's really sad cause my daughter has celiac and they have a gluten free menu so we were excited to eat there but of course we left after her rude behavior. Save yourself some time and eat somewhere they value their customers. read more

Food was delicious! I had the pesto wrap - it was a large portion. Service was spot on, and it was nice to sit in the sun! read more

Excellent breakfast spot Excellent chip beef Service is excellent Kitchen is very efficient Very pleasant atmosphere read more

First of all the food was excellent and so was our waitress. Food arrived in time and was very good. But this is where I have issue; as we were leaving I saw a dead bug (roach) on the floor. We mentioned it to several people and no one seemed to care. We won't be back. read more

The Asbury Kitchen is my very favorite year-round breakfast/lunchtime restaurant. The food is beautifully displayed, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The owner and staff always have a smile and make you feel welcomed! It's atmosphere is cozy and spotlessly clean. I can't wait to go back! read more

Food and service were great! Love their large offering of gluten free options. Had the crepes on our first visit and pancakes on the second visit. read more

My friend and I had planned on going to a restaurant across the street from Asbury Kitchen, but it was closed, even though the webiste said they were open. So we took a chance and ate here. It proved to be a happy accident....Asbury Kitchen was all we could have asked for or want in a small community restaurant. Clean. Bright. Cheerful. Cozy. Great service. Their huge menu made it hard for us to choose. I finally ordered my tried and true Eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was made from scratch in their kitchen. My friend picked their devine ricotta/buttermilk pancakes with fresh fruit. Real maple syrup is available. They offer a HUGE selection of sweet and savory crepes and lots of health conscious menu selections, as well. We'll come back again. But? Next time it will be on purpose..... read more

The food here is very hit or miss, the first time it was amazing the second time wasn't great and this time it was okay. We got a salad, salmon, and an omelette. The omelette was delicious! The salmon was a little dry but still pretty good and they forgot the dressing for the salad and we didn't realize until we got back home so we had to improvise there, the chicken on the salad was so hard and dry we couldn't eat it and we ended up just making the lettuce into a wrap with lunch meat instead. We were able to pick up the food fast which was good though! read more

Great location but ... Bought soup at the festival. They would only sell a large container. Was chicken orzo. More like smelly chicken mush. Honestly the worst soup I've ever smelled or attempted to eat in my life. My friend smell it and gaged. Brought it home dumped in a collider to see what was lurking in the bottom of the 4 4 inches of chicken fat. I had to toss it the smell was just evil. Worst $14.00 I spent in 2023 I hope it's not always like this maybe they were trying to dump old soup that day. Sorry for the really bad review. read more

If you're looking for all day breakfast & lunch spot with traditional "beach town vibes" then look no further than Asbury Kitchen! This vibrant & welcoming restaurant is the perfect beach restaurant with yellow shiplap walls & nautical decorations, what's not to love! I ordered their smoked salmon savory crêpe & let me tell you... best savory crêpe I've ever eaten!!! The staff was warm, welcoming, & very hospitable & their kitchen was like a well oiled machine! They also offer a Gluten Free menu as well! They also do take out, catering, & private parties! There literally is something here for every palate! You won't be disappointed! Cheers! read more

Well definitely not Arlene's !!! The waitress was very nice. I ordered gluten free pancakes with strawberries and my mom ordered eggs benedict with pork roll. My pancakes were thick & very dry, and the strawberries were cooked into the pancakes...first time I've seen that done. The eggs benedict, the eggs were cooked perfect but the hollandaise sauce was like water, runny and ice cold, and no taste. Arlene's was such a nice family owned place & I enjoyed eating at and could eat at (I have celiac) every year for the past 7 yrs. I didn't know they had closed. Very sad to say the least. I hope this new place makes it. But, can't say I'll be back. read more

We got takeout yesterday and we were pretty disappointed. The Crabby Benedict had very little flavor and the hollandaise was so watery you couldn't even taste it. The Egg White Scramble looked like it had been cooked in a rush, lacked any kind of seasoning, and was missing the tomatoes (accompanied muffin was also missing peanut butter). I hope this is just an off-season anomaly. read more

Just went to Asbury Kitchen a few days ago, and decided to write a review. So first off, food had no seasoning, second off, service was slow and forgot we were there. But I guess at least the area had nice vibes. The food was not worth the wait or the price. read more

Asbury Kitchen is located ion the picturesque Asbury Street in the heart of downtown. The staff , friendly, professional and attentive. The menu was extensive. Anything and everything that you could possibly want for breakfast or lunch. I had a tough time deciding so I asked our wonderful waitress -she recommended the spinach and cheese crepe. It was fabulous with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. My husband ordered a Eggs and pork roll sandwich. He was very happy with everything from the yeasty homemade bun to the generous helping of pork roll. The place even in November had a waitlist but they got us in a timely fashion . If I lived in Ocean City I would become a regular here so I could try everything on the menu. read more

The food is really good, especially the breakfast tacos, but the service needs to be improved. Hopefully by this summer they can continue to make necessary changes and improvements as my parents and I love going there- but HATE the wait once we order. One of the owners nieces (I believe) we had as our server and we couldn't say enough nice things about her. So sweet and accommodating, a great server on their staff! read more

We decided to stop at Asbury Kitchen this weekend. My two dining partners had omelets and I had a tuna club wrap. Omelets and hash browns were very good. One half of wrap had quite a bit of lettuce but it was fresh. Waitstaff pleasant and attentive! read more

Excellent service excellent coffee Enjoyed my BLT with a fried egg Lovely beach decor Will definitely come back read more

The environment is welcoming and cute. There's a solid amount of gluten free options. I ordered the gluten free crab benedict. The crab was very fresh. The bread wasn't toasted and ended up being completely soggy by the time the entree hit the table. The hollandaise is runny not creamy and a bit bland. The bacon was very good and crisp. The breakfast potatoes are also boiled not crispy or sautéed. I had to add salt, pepper, and hot sauce to everything. Maybe its because I live in the south but I expected more flavor and spices...The variety for gluten free guests are why I gave an extra star, outside of that I was a bit disappointed. read more

Nice little place with breakfast all day... why not! The food is delicious and made right. The presentation was also very attractive. Chef is very talented and consistent. The service was friendly and impeccably detailed for a breakfast place. Our server Olga was very helpful and patient with the children. We will be back for sure and enjoy the outside seating! read more

I used to pick food up here when this was Arlene's. I don't know where to start. I have not had service this poor in years. They sat us down and it took ten minutes to get our order taken. Then 25 minutes to get our drink. Which I had to ask for. It took an hour to get my food and my sons gluten free. Just cheese Eggs. Then about another 15 minutes we were completely done when with a smirk and a I'm sorry my husband got his cold greasy eggs. I am lucky my bacon came even after that like a dessert. Seriously Kiera was our waitress and the little boy helping did a better job working two tables. The entire meal from sit down to finish was an 1:37 minutes. Sadly the my gf french toast is good but not worth this long. There were empty tables so it wasn't so crowded. They need a john tapper to give them a pos system and training or something. My husband was about to go pay for mine and my sons when they brought his out. We were getting up from the table. Poor service unorganized. read more

Love it here. Great food. Friendly service. Has been on pint every time we have come. Big menu and everything was and is delicious. Look forward to returning read more

Friendly service, good food, varied menu, clean and pretty restaurant. We would definitely go back again!

We went to this restaurant for an early breakfast with a group of 6. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and very attentive. She was knowledgeable about dietary restrictions and gluten-free options (of which there were many)! Our food was all delicious, came out quickly, and was enough that we had leftovers for lunch. If you sit outside you can bring a dog-- our waitress made sure our dog was hydrated by bringing out a water bowl. Their sun shade expands, so even in the sun you can have a cool meal :) read more

Excellent service and food Lovely beach decor The food is excellent with great choices The waitresses are very pleasant and provide excellent service Highly recommend read more

VERY GOOD FOOD! We stopped in here while on vacation. The food was very good and pretty large portions. The waitress was very sweet and when we asked for a side of balsamic glaze, she brought us the entire bottle. Clean place with great food and polite staff. The prices weren't bad at all either for a restaurant at the shore. read more

It was a long long long wait for our food. I'm not sure if it was the kitchen or waitress who neglected us. We had no silverware. We gave up waiting for syrup and grabbed it from another table that left. Food was ok. Arlene's food and service were better. read more

The food was delicious however the staff needs to remember they are working with the public. The hostess/owner told one of the servers we needed our drink order taken. She shrugged her shoulders and walked away, as she looked at our table! There were 4 adults & I child, all 4 adults saw the same thing. When "our" server came to the table she never apologized for the wait. She took our drink order and we asked if there was a children menu she looked puzzled. The topper of the entire experience was going to pay the bill, they told us they could give us .32 in Penny's because they didn't have any other change. Imagine how much money they got for entire day saying they only had penny's to give change? Not the best hour and a half we spent in Ocean City! read more

our server was amazing but the food was laughable the eggs benedict was extremely sub par the crepe was disgusting and the chicken florentine tasted like cardboard. definitely would not recommend anyone put themself through that horrible experience read more

i would recommend them to anyone that asks. they are great people. the owner Dot really stays on top of things. Their service is great. They are helpful with advise and i just can't say enough good things about them. they did my entire first fl kitchen and floor complete. looks phenomenal thanks to their advise and professionalism. read more

We tried to go to Asbury Kitchen for brunch today and encountered perhaps the worst service I've ever seen. We showed up and put our name in: 20 minute wait. After ~30 minutes we followed up with the hostess only to learn they had crossed our name out, claiming they called us and we didn't answer (we were waiting by the entrance all the while and they never called us). Another 30 minutes pass with no further indication we would ever get a table. After talking with other customers who were unable to get served even after being seated ("run while you can"), we decided to leave for a much better experience at a nearby competitor. With so many other great brunch spots in OC, please do not waste your time with Asbury Kitchen. The service was pathetic, the staff argumentative and rude, and the opportunity cost simply too high. Would be shocked if this place was open in summer 2023 - really negative experience. read more

Hmm wish I could say better about this place. So many good reviews but this was a miss for us. My egg sandwich came out w American cheese when I asked for Swiss. The egg in my husbands omelet wasn't good. I honestly don't think I'd return. Arlene's was great. Service was slow too. Two other guests had their meal and I waited several minutes for my meal to come. It was just ok. Sorry. So many other places better in OC read more

Service was not great. Taste and quality of food was very poor. It can't compare to the previous restaurant that was in this location.

A complete makeover of Arlenes the new owners have added a touch of sophistication to this breakfast/lunch restaurant. With the helpful staff and owners on site Asbury Kitchen will be a staple for both full time residents and visitors. Their menu is basic Ocean City but interesting specials also. We would recommend highly Asbury Kitchen. read more

For anyone looking to have a great breakfast in OCNJ, you won't regret going to Asbury Kitchen! It's only one year old more or less and we had a great breakfast there. The menu was vast and has something for everyone. Omelettes, sandwiches, French toast, chipped beef, fruit or your basic eggs, potatoes and breakfast meats. The Uncle Johnny's sausage was the best! DO NOT go there without getting this! The presentations were beautiful and the taste was luscious. I would seriously say that this place ranks way up there with the other top notch breakfast places on the island. I will make this place a regular stop now!! read more

Picked up my boys at Basketball camp at OC high school and ambled over to Asbury Kitchen. Charming inside but it was nice so we decided to sit outside. It was a tad disorganized but then we got a lovely and enthusiastic server. One boy got breakfast, they serve it all day! Yummy. While the other boy got lunch, and both were very solid. Good food, good service, good times! Will definitely be back! read more
