Cinnamon sugar donuts
Erin R.

Wowza! Donuts have become my new weak spot. Take a nice long walk down the boardwalk in the morning and grab some of their delicious cinnamon sugar donuts on your way home - the family will not be disappointed! There usually isn't much of a line to grab a handful of donuts right outside. Make sure to grab the cinnamon sugar and eat them while they are hot!

Bob's Grill on the boardwalk in Ocean City for more than 90 years
Jeff H.

Bob's Grill has been a mainstay on the Ocean City boardwalk for more than 90 years. Obviously it has done a lot right to survive for that long a time. I have heard that in the 1950s and 1960s it was considered one of the cool places for young peeps to hang out. And it was very tied in to the lifeguards from the Ocean City Beach patrol who met and ate here. Well those days are kinda over as it is more a family establishment now with dining areas on two levels. But there are nostalgic photos on the walls harking back to an earlier Ocean City and Bob's Grill. I needed a late breakfast or early lunch recently (turns out breakfast was my only option) and so I stopped into Bob's. Service was a little bit scattered from the beginning. This is a seat yourself establishment and after a while I had to ask if anyone was assigned to my table. Everyone was friendly but I did get served breakfast and then had to ask for silverware. The breakfast I ordered is not a fair one prob to judge a restaurant on but I wanted to try this dish. It was creamed chipped beef on rye toast with hash browns. The cream chipped beef didn't do it for me as it was bland in taste, very glutinous, and frankly could have used more beef. However I don't know how to compare it to other renditions as I had never eaten it before. Oh well. Bob's still has a cool, retro look, one can hear the seagulls and smell the salt air blowing off the nearby ocean, and the wait staff did try to be helpful when you had to ask for something.

Wow! I am so glad I didn't pay attention to all the bad reviews on here, and instead went with the recommendation of a long time resident of Ocean City to check Bob's Grill out. We had no problems whatsoever. We walked in, seated ourselves, got drinks and ordered, and received our food all within no more than ten minutes or so. Like my husband said to the waitress, it was like they knew we were coming. Granted, it is early in the season and the place wasn't very busy, but we loved it. Our waitress was a nice young girl and she did a great job. The Greek Omelet I had was fantabulous and my husband didn't have any complaints about his corned beef hash with eggs, home fries and toast. The home fries were red skin potatoes with onions in them, and they were seasoned well. The prices didn't seem that high to me - I mean, you expect that when you're right on the ocean. We felt like we definitely got our money's worth. Overall, a great meal and experience, and I would go there again in a heartbeat!

a variety of doughnuts

Picked up about four donuts on a bike ride on the boardwalk. They were just made and came out hot and warm. Note, they only take cash but that should be synonymous with most of the other businesses in Ocean City. But the donuts did not disappoint as my family devoured them within minutes of bringing them home.

Probably the worst service I've ever had and the food was overpriced for how small the portions were.

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.

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.
