It is normal to find oneself with a peculiar sense of being without time, and being within a coca-cola controlled dimension between ours and that of our forebears. It is crucial that you ignore any compunction to run screaming out the front door and onto the streets of Ocean City. I assure you, they are not there. What you see through those windows is an illusion to illicit comfort in your mortal mind. In actuality you have been removed to an extra-temporal imposition of Americana-kitsch. Once you have reconciled this fact and cleansed yourself of any unclean thoughts you may proceed to your booth, where you will order one cheeseburger and one strawberry milkshake. It is important that you order only these two items, as ordering any others will upset the delicate harmonics that weave our world with it. You will enjoy them. You will Pay. Only now will you be returned to our reality. It is an archaic anti-theft measure, but it is an effective one. You will leave. Be safe.

The cheese was not fully melted so I was basically putting raw shredded cheese in my mouth. The silver dollar pancakes (a nice option instead of toast and potatoes) were great. What makes or breaks a breakfast spot for me is the coffee. This coffee had to be the worst yet. It completely lacked any flavor - I didn't know that was even possible! I'll never understand why establishments serve cheap coffee. I understand it is a capital expensive business, but this is a corner that should not be cut. I'm not expecting Starbucks, but something above what tastes like it was bought off a pallet at a warehouse big-box store. I'll return for the pancakes, but enjoy my coffee beforehand at the nice coffee shop directly across the street.

Everything is made-to-order, and you can feel the pride in every bite. The cinnamon buns? Our daughter said they tasted just like the homemade ones from her grandmother, high praise in our family. We're originally from Pennsylvania, so of course we had to try the scrapple. It hit the mark: classic, crispy, and comforting. The pancakes tasted like the real thing, no shortcuts. The western omelette was superb, made with fresh ingredients, and the broccoli and cheese omelette didn't disappoint either. What truly made the morning was Donna. Her service elevated the entire experience. She's the kind of server you remember. Warm, attentive, and the perfect complement to a family-owned establishment that still believes in hospitality. Everyone on staff moved with purpose and kindness, from the hostess to the kitchen crew. The crowd was a lively blend of locals and tourists, with the kind of noise that tells you people are enjoying themselves, laughing, catching up, sipping coffee. The atmosphere felt like stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting but with better eggs. We were with our oldest child visiting from college, and this breakfast became a memory. For Manhattan natives like us, Ready's delivered everything we hope for when visiting the Shore: honest food, community feel, and a standout staff that made us feel like regulars. Verdict: LOVE. Highest possible recommendation. This is an Ocean City pilgrimage stop, one of the best finds on the Shore. Cash only, so come prepared, and come hungry. NOTE: CASH ONLY!!!

My sister isn't a breakfast person and she liked her grilled chicken wrap. And we all shared the French toast which was good as well. As a girl from Pittsburgh, I also loved that they had Heinz ketchup. The staff was great. It was busy the whole time we were there. We will definitely be going back.

The lunch menu was simple but it had several standout options. I opted for the Chicken and Mac & Cheese Waffle, and the Crab Fries. I always wanted to try a Mac & Cheese Waffle. I'm not sure the texture is what I expected but it was pretty good nonetheless. They gave me 4 chicken strips which is more than the usual 2 another restaurant would serve. And the "individual" Crab Fries was huge. It could've been it's own meal (and there's one size option above). All in all, it was a decent spot for lunch. Quantity is the name of the game here.
