Seafood platter
Jan R.

So good!!! Even though they did not have crabs because of the craziness in the world, we enjoyed a family dinner. Everyone loved their meals and we were given a private room for our group which was thoughtful. We had the soft shell crab sandwich. It was great. Also we shared a fried seafood dish. So good!!!

One of my favorite diners ever. AND Smith island cakes are a real treat!!!

After six or seven times here in the last two years and three or four other times within the last three years it's time to write a review. Delmar diner is just what it says, it is a diner. For Diners it's five star all the way because of its varied menu and it's daily specials. I've eaten here as a solo and been treated really well. But most of the time I've eaten either with my SO or with a bevy of family members. Today It was a family event with six hungry diners on a cold winter day. We had a great server who was training another server and neither of them missed a beat. Other times we've had other servers and it's always been great service. The six hungry eaters here today ordered exclusively off the specials menu and we ate roast turkey with stuffing and mashed potatoes, a flounder sandwich that when I looked at it I could not believe how big the piece of flounder was. It was hanging off the roll. All of these entrées included soup and we all choose the Maryland crab soup which was a creamy, crabby delight. Two of us had a hamburger platter. The age group was 15 and 16, and 38 to 62. Everybody was extremely happy. I think the reason the food is so good here and the service so kind is because the owner is on site for a long time each day. That truly makes a difference. So the next time I'm headed to Salisbury or Ocean city Maryland there's no way I can avoid stopping here for a meal.

We stopped here after a long time having skipped this lil diner. It appears the design of the menu has changed. The food was good. We both ordered creamed chipped beef. I added scrapple. We both ordered well done hash browns...we both got mad and hot potatoes. Some bites were still rawish. The creamed chipped beef was good. The scrapple was crispy. The coffee was fresh. Our waitress was Marilyn friendly, fast and on it. So...some might fault the waitress. Would you check your tickets before bringing food out to ensure no issues or would you just trust the cook was handling it? 3 stars because of the potatoes . 4 if they had been cooked as ordered.

Banana pancakes with powdered sugar. Scrapple and eggs

Been here a few times. Service had always been good although the last time, I wasn't impressed by the host. My server Kaylin (I think) was really nice. She was kind and attentive without being overbearing. Food was good! Always a great bargain

Double fried pork chops....disgusting

I so was hoping this would be a win since it is so close to my house, but time and time again it has proved me wrong. Not sure why I keep subjecting myself to this. Other than the soup and fried chicken nothing else is good and somewhat pricey. Tonight I ordered the double fried pork chops and ended up having to come home and cook as I threw the platter away. The pork chops were nothing but a thick breading with no seasoning what so ever. Best part was the baked potato but was only given one small butter. The zucchini and onions with carrots could have been cooked longer, the vegetable beef soup that came with the meal was too salty so I had to throw out and even the crackers it came with were old and stale.

Came in here for the second time with my mom after having a decent breakfast meal with my in-laws in December. We ordered the Chesapeake Fries and a chicken salad sandwich to split between us. After getting our "steak fries with crab dip" the outlook for the meal looked grim. The "steak fries" were really burnt potato logs covered in unmelted cheese and what seemed to be leftover cream of crab soup. Once the waitress brought out our sandwich, it had almost an ammonia smell to it to the point where we thought it was actually tuna fish. The waitress kindly took it back but still charged us for the sides ( 1/3 we did not get). Probably would come back here for breakfast but the lunch specials are not worth the stomachache.

She mad sure we had enough delicious soft breadsticks on the table. Salad bar is very extensive with so many selections. Clean & well lit restaurant. I will return.

The place is very clean and has an ambiance of something much different than what I experienced…read more Tables, wall coverings, pictures and other accoutrements give the impression that this is a mid level restaurant and the expectations are of that. We ordered the crab dip appetizer with sourdough bread. Dinner rolls were great and rivaled that of Texas roadhouse with the cinnamon flavored butter. Crab dip came to the table with the appearance of a sourdough bread bowl and the presentation was spot on. Small pieces of bread (not sourdough) was surrounding the bread (not sourdough) bowl and although somewhat tasty, not what I expected. There was very little crab, and sauce resembled a cream sauce with Old Bay seasoning as the main flavor. If you're going to advertise "Sourdough" the expectation is you will receive "Sourdough" and not just bland bread. A person in our group ordered a "bang-bang shrimp Po Boy" as a dinner entre. What was delivered was the bang-bang shrimp appetizer. As we were telling the person delivering the food that this was incorrect, they just turned and walked away. Our impression? Not their problem. When we saw the food delivery person come to a nearby table and got their attention, the response was "I just deliver the food, you'll need to tell your server". Wow. Another person ordered the Cream of Crab bowl of soup as their main dish. It was served with the appetizer. Oddly enough, it seemed to be the same flavor as the crab dip appetizer. I ordered the seasonal fish and jumbo shrimp with old bay seasoned fries. I could not get a commitment on what type of fish it was, but I can say that it was definitely deep fried to a point where the texture and flavor was indistinguishable. The shrimp was so overcooked that I was fearful of breaking a tooth. Overall, I would say I am disappointed. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I think this may be just what we get for service now days. Marginal attention to actual service and marginal if not bland food offerings. I'm just traveling through so not likely I'll be back anytime soon, but if I do happen along this way, I'll go somewhere else.

Georgetown Family Diner sits in the middle of downtown of this sleepy historic burg. It feels a bit…read morepast its prime and could really use a 21st Century makeover to bring up the lights from its drab earth tones. On the other hand, service was friendly, attractive, helpful and turned out a very good Patty Melt and Fries for lunch. Although I came in wanting breakfast, I quickly learned that the morning meal was no longer available. The PM wasn't a bad alternative, although it was so greasy that I went through a half dozen napkins cleaning my hands, and switched to knife and fork for the sake of the environment. The customers seemed to be mostly local regulars who knew the servers and cashier and enjoyed the comfort of the dining room and kitchen. The lights were out in the back hall to the restrooms making for a dark walk to the toilets. Hope that is fixed soon for the sake of all the older customers who need the facilities. Three faded Stars for this mid 20th Century house.

I have eaten here twice and will be back. The ambiance is good, clean and lots of tables…read more The first time we stooped it was the middle of the afternoon and not busy so the service was excellent and the food came out quickly. The food was hot and tasty. The second time was a weekend and it was extremely busy. There were still a handful of tables available and you just pick any table you want and take a seat. I was not as happy with the service as it took a very long time for someone to give us menus and then we waited quite awhile for the server to come back and take our order. Once our order was placed it was a reasonable time to get our food but not crazy long. Our server didn't check back to refill drinks so that was not great but the food was still good so that was a plus. Will we go back, absolutely, but I will try to avoid the busy times.
