Dockside Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocean City, New Jersey

See all

We went tonight, dinner club....absolutely wonderful dinners, amazing actually. Service was top notch....will definitely be back!!!!

The service was excellent and the staff are very friendly. We did feel rushed to finish our meals like many resort restaurants. The food was served quickly and was very tasty. The fish tacos has a limited amount of fish, but the taste was very good. Don't recommend the crab cakes. Lots of filler and shells. Kiddos had pancakes and grilled cheese. Both very good. The dock seating is very nice and overall the place was clean. Good experience overall. read more

Dockside Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ocean City, New Jersey

Absolutely the best breakfast I've had in a very long time. The family had the Breakfast Oscar, Nutella French toast, crab toast and lobster toast.The fresh squeezed Orange juice was delicious.Wish every restaurant did orange juice this way. We've been to Ocean City many times and I can't believe this was the first time coming here. Definitely a repeat for my family. Catherine took care of us for our meal. read more

One of my favorite places for breakfast or brunch only open until 2pm. Love the dockside sitting. The service is fantastic and the foods is delicious. Coffee could be less bitter may need to change the brand but the coffee was hot. read more

This may be my favorite restaurant in Ocean City. The location is awesome, the food is fantastic and the service always outstanding. I have dined here countless times and have never been disappointed. read more

Extremely disappointed yesterday when I went to lunch with another party and was told they could not split the check, that the Manager would get "really mad" and she would get in trouble. How hard is that? I've been to many places that have no problem with that so I will be visiting those places again. Unfortunately, not Dockside. read more

A very child friendly breakfast place. Great views on the bay. Omelettes and pancakes were outstanding. Looking forward to going back

Disappointed...had pancakes thick and burnt or should I say over over done and overpriced ... Beautiful view of the bay though...

First time tried this place . I ordered a lobster benedict and it was totally different on the instagram picture that they posted themselves. My dish look a mess and cold but can say the taste are not bad but still not worth 22$ . I also ordered avocado toast (which say it's best seller ) but it's taste nothingn, the bread was cold and hard with a layer of avocado smashed on the top . I was exciting to try this place but there is nothing special or good enough for me to returning here read more

Perfect place for a relaxing lunch/ brunch. The lobster roll is fantastic as well as the fish tacos. Fresh and flavorful, you will not be disappointed. read more

I really wanted to like this place based on reviews I read on independent local Facebook groups & food photos Dined on 7/14/18. Ordered Crabby avocado toast, quite salty, not much lump crab meat for $15, maybe a tablespoon's worth, & too much Avocado spread Water glass had a fishy odor & I couldn't even drink from it My dining partner ordered chicken taco & didn't even finish it. The chicken meat was so super-white in color I thought it might be crab meat instead. The meat was not marinated in any kind of taco sauce or flavoring, the entire dish was tasteless. Waitress offered, after the fact, some salsa verde, but that just wasn't enough. The chicken's appearance concerned me, as if it came from a can & had just been rinsed off with no prep at all. I'm sure you can do better, the location is stellar. Just think about getting some bug zappers to control the flies, eating outside with flies is a turn-off read more

We ate breakfast there last week, and must say this place is not as good as previous "McGlades" was. The morning menu offers french toast for $12 each. No short stack available - who can eat a half a loaf of bread (3 full Texas sized slices) for breakfast? And the inside of the french toast was not cooked - should have been cooked at lower temp and longer. We split one orange juice and the tab for that with 2 french toast entrees was $30 - way too expensive for breakfast. And didn't come with the melon slice mentioned on the menu, and always provided by McGlades. What you are paying for here is the water view, the food isn't worth it! read more

Beautiful setting and probably some of the nicest servers in Ocean City. Except for the coffee, food was quite a disappointment. The home fries were hard, my quiche could have spent another 5 minutes in the oven and the very fatty bacon was undercooked (a very BAD combination). These platters were $12 each, far too much money for badly cooked food. read more

Wonderful deck right in the bay, great food & service. We had the spinach & veggie omelets - excellent! Fresh squeezed orange juice, excellent. Buttermilk pancakes, light & fluffy. Our waitress, Mackenzie was lovely. Our new favorite for breakfast & lunch. read more

Beautiful view! Customer service is good. Very convenient after spending time at the Aqua Park. Meals were well cooked and served warm. Ordered fish and chips it was my first time having it but I was not a huge fan. If you browse the menu and see something you like go for it. Breakfast is good. read more

Unlike Stone Harbor / Avalon, where there are plenty of places on the bayside to eat, there are very few choices in OC for bayside eating. Thank goodness we found Dockside Kitchen. It's a great breakfast/lunch place. Rather than serving up the usual Shore breakfast fare (like Uncle Bill's and its ilk), the dishes at Dockside are really interesting. The hash browns are actually diced potatoes, nicely browned with rosemary. The sausage omelet has a really interesting sausage (I think it's andouille) rather than the usual boring breakfast sausage. French toast is yummy, with crispy edges. Coffee is pretty good - not the usual swill they serve at breakfast places. The view, breeze, and size are just right, and the servers are very nice and prompt. A perfect beginning to a day at the Shore! read more

Place gets 3 because of the location I ordered the avocado blt. More lettuce and they put 2 big tomato ends on the sandwich. I had to remove them and cut with a knife just so I could eat it. My toast was Burt my wife enjoyed her omelet As we were sitting there the waitress started to dump glasses of water and soda over the rail onto the water was not happy with that plus it caused the sea gulls to hover very unprofessional We also heard two waitress talking about customers with negative comments. . I will pass on this pass again great view but manny other better options for breakfast on the island read more

Very cute covered patio. Good menu. Nice server and histesss. I ordered the crabby avocado toast and the bread so hard that I couldn't cut it with the serrated steak knife that they gave me nor could I bite it. I scraped the tablespoon of avocado from the toast along with the less than one ounce of crab meat and called it a day. So I'd say for my $16 it wasn't a great meal. Server was nice but didn't offer to refill coffee or water. Left both hungry and thirsty. Don't think I will go back. read more

Simply yum and more upscale in breakfast food than you might think for dockside breakfast dining! My husband had lobster eggs benedict, which looked absolutely decadent. I had crabcakes on my salad which was pretty much mostly crab and not a lot of filler. Will be coming back! read more

I'm between a 3 and 4, but bumped up to the 4 for the friendly staff. The view is wonderful but there are definitely still some kinks to be worked out. The wait to be seated was as expected, but it was almost 10 minutes after being seated before we saw our server. The time waiting for food after our order was taken was longer than it should've been and the plates served were a little sloppy. I had eggs Benedict - the eggs were not properly poached and there were large egg shell pieces underneath one of the eggs. Another member of the party had very undercooked bacon. I think this place has the potential to be great, but it's still getting there. read more

My new favorite for breakfast and lunch in Ocean City. The crab avocado toast is amazing a relatively light for a hot summer day. A MUST while in OCNJ. read more

Nice casual eatery with great service. Right on the bay and fully covered so no fear of seagulls stealing your food. I had the crab toast and will be coming back to try the lobster Benedict. read more

Delicious! Fresh! Fantastic! Our table ordered a mix of breakfast and lunch items, and everyone left happy and full.

Food was good. Decent portion sizes. Wait was long (said 30 minutes, took 50 minutes). VERY small dining room, so hope I you get nice neighbors! Was served bad milk with chunks in it. They replaced it with a new glass, but still charged us for it ($2.69). For $1 more I could go to Acme and buy an entitre gallon! If you serve rancid milk, you should take it off the bill. $40 for breakfast for two... expensive! read more

So nice to have quality food while sitting on the water. We've had lobster benedict, Nutella French toast - AMAZING, lobster avocado toast. Coffee is great, they give you more in a to go cup if you ask:) we even bought a sweatshirt on the way out...super cozy. read more

We ate here last week with a group of 17, and it was wonderful. I called in advance to let them know we were coming and that we also had a handicapped member of the family. They could not have been sweeter or more accommodating. The food was also awesome. They have very interesting menu options; things you do not see anywhere else. I would recommend the salmon BLT. This was by far the best group-outing we had. It was a wonderful setting, we had truly great service, and the food was top notch. PLEASE give them a try. You will not regret. read more

I came for lunch today and got the avocado BLT. It was absolutely delicious. The bacon was so good, and the lettuce, tomatoes, and avocados were so fresh an ripe. The service was really quick, and friendly. I also loved being able to have a view of the water. I will definitely be coming back! read more

First time here for breakfast, love it! Great view, portions large, bacon thick, coffee delicious. Everybody loved what they got.

Best little spot in ocean city! Delish and creative food! We had the best Father's Day brunch! Love that you sit right on the bay!

Absolutely delicious food, great service, lovely water view and charming ambience. It was a great Fathers Day Brunch for all. We even had a gluten free person in our group, and they had gf rolls for his burger! We loved it. read more

Yuk! They just put together my salad and it looked like slop. My husbands lobster Benedict was highly recommended and it was not eatable

Great food, beautiful location. Saw this place on Instagram and had to give it a try while on vacation. So glad we did! Waitstaff was attentive and friendly. We came for breakfast and had the French toast and blueberry pancakes. Delicious coffee was served in a nice big mug. You can't beat the view watching the boats and enjoying the pleasant breeze. Everything was fresh and yummy! The lunch menu looks very appealing, so we definitely plan to return. read more

Even though we live in New England, Ocean City is our favorite beach resort! Today we enjoyed a delicious breakfast of French toast and crispy bacon, served with a smile and friendly greeting. With a gorgeous setting on the bay, this new restaurant is a must to visit in Ocean City. read more

Visited Dockside for breakfast 8/17. We all had excellent food and a great view also. Slightly warm that morning but Ok. Very good coffee, coffee shop quality. Blueberry Pancakes, and fruit were fantastic. The breakfast potatoes were perfectly cooked. Daughter had the avocado toast, which she loved, lots of avocado and interesting bacon. Although it was warm with a wait line, the staff was very professional, great service. We visited last year also, and had same great food and service. read more

Great place to go have good food, nice views and friendly people. Hoping they can hang in for some of the off season. Give it a try !!!!

My family has been going to OC for a long time and are happy to say we found a new staple. The food and the view were a great way to start our day. We had the lobster and crab Benedicts, French toast, and omelette- all delicious!! The staff was wonderful and extremely helpful (we had my 18month old with us). We look forward to returning soon! read more

Great food and service! This place used to be McGlades. The new place has ramped up its appearance and quality of food.

My wife and I ate at the Dockside Kitchen on 8/18/2018. We arrived at approximately 10:30a. The hostess, Val was wonderful. She was right on with the wait time, approx 35 mins. We were seated at the counter seating overlooking the water. What a beautiful view. Our waitress, Sam was terrific. Our meals came out fast and tasted amazing. What a great experience we had dining at the Dockside Kitchen. If your in Ocean City put this place on your list. You won't be disappointed. read more

Had breakfast about 10:30 AM on a beautiful morning. The view is spectacular and the hostess and waitress were very personable and efficient. My wife had the pancakes which were thin, light and delicious with a few berries/fruit on the side. I had the sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel with home fries. Great sandwich made with spicy chorizo sausage which gave it a nice "kick". Home fries were really good too. Only complaint would be the prices which were steep. However the service, food quality and view made for a nice experience. read more
