    Food over environment. Stopped here for a late breakfast while in town for the weekend. The restaurant reminds me of a bar that was repurposed. Plenty of military iconography, tributes to those who served, etc. but placed over top of odd teal colors and glittery black walls. The General himself sat us at a table and we put in a drink order: mine a coffee and chocolate milk. The server was a foreign girl who was very friendly and smiled at us - stayed very attentive to our table. I ordered the pancake combo meal which came with 2 eggs and scrapple. Like a moron I was too hellbent on eating I forgot to take a pic of the plate. I will say the chocolate milk was high-test, like drinking a chocolate bar. I appreciated it. The food was good - pancakes large and the scrapple a large slice. The value in terms of food to spend is very favorable, would recommend here.

    Always a great breakfast, today I had the House Specialty creamed chipped beef, it was delicious! Our waitress Aliya was great !!! Cozy atmosphere, proud to support police!!!

    Awesome service and food . Very veteran friendly place to go. You'll notice that as soon as you walk in the door. Very cool place. It's all veteran and first responder themed decor. I'll be back. I guarantee it.

    Standing in front of the new (ish) location - over on 66th Street!  Perfect sunny day, too! haha

    Good ole' General's Kitchen! I have been coming to OC ALL my life and, since my 20s, my family has had a place in Ocean Pines. Over the course of 25 years, I kept telling myself.. yeah - I'll try it, I'll try it... welp, yelp (hehe) I finally did and OH MY GOODNESS!!! How do you all do it? You offer these EPIC meals starting at like $8?! For $12.50, I got egg whites (they did not charge extra - which is good bc I find the extra charge a bit strange bc egg whites cost less than eggs in the store, so, THANK YOU for making SENSE! haha) and turkey sausage (again nothing extra, money-wise) and delicious FRESH breakfast potatoes .. and - GET THIS - Coffee and Orange juice is included! What?!?! NO other place in-town OC offers so much for so little $! The quality is worth much more (not saying you SHOULD charge more - haha - but saying it's too good to be so inexpensive)! Lastly, my husband was in the Marine Reserves for 8 years - so, I have to say, I really loved the nod to Military appreciation theme of the interior (picture Mission BBQ but as a breakfast place as your vibe). Thank you for this great experience - I have told everyone I know to try it! Two of my close friends and I came in a few weeks ago and we all had a wonderful (and delicious time). Would SOOOO TOTALLY recommend! :)

    Had breakfast here on a short trip to OCMD. Was not disappointed! Apparently the chipped beef gravy is a huge deal because everyone was ordering it but I don't eat meat so it wasn't for me. I had a yummy mushroom and cheese omelette, really good hash browns and a light and fluffy biscuit. This place is Veteran owned and the decor honors them and I like that. They had Fox News on the tv but the volume was down and I will look beyond it, even though I think it's lies and propaganda, because I was hungry. Even though they were short staffed and very busy, we sat at the bar and the staff was very nice. We talked to four regulars who were also super friendly. All around good place. Highly recommend.

    The Western special! 8oz steak and eggs. Fantastic!
    Christopher B.

    A good short-order cook is hard to find, but the General has one! I saw the special, figured why not and went for it. Cooked to a perfect medium, w/o any input from me, and it was melt in your mouth fantastic. I've been to steakhouses that didn't cook a steak this well. We were redirected here after another location was booked, and I'm happy about it. We've been here before. It's always solid, accommodating, and quite impressive. Chipped beef if great, omelets, pancakes, etc. Consistent, impressive and reliable.

    Chicken fried steak special
    Basil M.

    Excellent service, food and value. I love a good chicken fried steak and this place is top-notch. The eggs over easy were perfect, and they have rye toast here! The hashbrowns were average, but everything else was fantastic, including the military/law enforcement decor. Love this place.

    With all the options of restaurants for breakfast in OC this is by far the best one. Waitstaff is exceptional and you won't leave hungry or disappointed.

    The wait sucked a little but the food was definitely worth it. I feel like the wait staff was annoyed by our indecisiveness which was annoying to me. The food came quick and it was delicious but I just didn't love the attitude of our waiter, who I won't publicly shame here. The food is great and it's a cool restaurant dedicated to memorializing veterans and fallen hero's which is great. I'll come back and hope for a different server next time.

    Veterans hats.

    Family feel and great food. The waitress was amazing. Dad felt very at home as he sat at the memorial wall with all the hats behind him. As a veteran, he loves to share his stories with the wait staff. First time at this restaurant and made 2 trips back that week.

Last summer was my first visit after seeing some friends recommend and following them on social media. We had their longboard wings, veggie wrap and jerk chicken wrap. Everything was DELICIOUS! On Wednesday of this week I stopped in for lunch with my dog and we sat on the 'boardwalk' which is what they call part of their outdoor section. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. They offer a water bowl and a complimentary piece of bacon for the pups. My dog was thrilled as you can see by one of the pics =) On this visit I tried the wrinkled green been app and the St. Croix chopped salad. Both were very good. My dog ordered the kids burger plain with no bun. He had no complaints! I stole his fries which were yummy. Luke was our server on my most recent visit. He provided excellent service! He even helped me gain some more insight on bringing a large party there later this year. He got me in touch with one of the managers and I am currently coordinating with them. Overall, this is one of my favorite restaurants in OC and can't wait to come back in a couple months!

The only flaw was that the sauce they put on it made the fish a bit soggy on the majority of the deep fried fish.And the batter was a bit bitter. The citrus shrimp taco with flour was good. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. The toppings and seasoning blended very well. The cabbage gave the taco a great crunchy texture with each bite. The tacos were accompanied with chips. Alex our wait staff had a pleasant and friendly personality. He was also able explain the menu items in a helpful and informative manner. Imani another staff was very personable. I like the atmosphere. A upscale casual dinner with a beachy feel.

Customer Service: Hands down the best we experienced during our 9-day family trip to OCMD. Karri, our waitress, made us feel like family, loved her. Jeff & Mike were professional, friendly, and made a point to engage with every table. Breakfast? PHENOMENAL. Best we've had, not just this summer, but in all our years visiting OCMD. My wife and son agree. Everything was homemade and cooked to order. No frozen shortcuts. Portions were just right, flavors balanced beautifully, and nothing overly sweet. Nashville Hot Stuffed French Toast: The bourbon and caramelized apples stole the show. Chicken was a fun twist, though next time I'd get it on the side to keep the sweet and spicy separate. You can skip the chicken altogether and save $4 if you'd like. Banana Foster French Toast: Mind-blowing. The kind of dish that makes you question everything you've ever called "breakfast." Plate was licked clean. Already dreaming of it for summer 2026. Creamed Chipped Beef over Biscuits: Shared this one. Generous portion, nostalgic flavor, clearly a recipe passed down and perfected. Triple Decker: My son had the chocolate chip pancakes, huge portion, perfect texture, and he loved every bite. Only minor con: straws come unwrapped in your drink. Not a dealbreaker, but something to note. Final score: 25/25. Solid A+. Verdict: Highly recommended. We'll be back in summer 2026, no question.

We arrived around 6 on a Saturday night and the place is busy (it always is). We are greeted in an ok time, it took longer than ever before (and we've been there when it's been busier). The young lady greeted us, took our order and left. We ordered boneless wings, fries, crab cakes, and soup. She came back about 5 mins later and said they sold out of crab cakes. I get it's the off season, but there really is no off season at Fast Eddies. So we ordered something significantly cheaper from the menu. When the food came out, it was just ok. My boneless wings were way overdone and the crab burger was just ok. When the check came, it seemed to be a little high, like she never adjusted the pricing from the crab cake dinner. We never received the itemized receipt and after she dropped the slip to sign, we didn't see her again. So we just signed the receipt and left, as we had plans to get to.
