    Alright place, when walking In seen bug on floor and not moved or killed. Also when ordering the waiter was good but the pancakes were dry, like super dry almost took up half the syrup bottle I wouldn't recommend if your looking for a good place to eat or something that's clean. Will not come back.

    bland and overpriced French Toast

    Worst french toast ever. $15 for three tasteless slices of white bread with no side or drink, total scam. Two egg breakfast is cheaper and you get more. Our server was nice but the vibes were off, it was completely empty during peak hours.

    Great breakfast food on 24-May-2026. This is an awesome diner. Service was quick and friendly. Route 66 has become my go to diner in Ocean City, MD!

    Shrimp & Grits
    Shanel S.

    Pretty aiight! They have low reviews which may be based on day and time or meal. They have plenty of servers, place was pretty empty. To be honest, it was not our first pick. Other spots were packed. However, simple menu. Most diners have pages and pages of options. They kept it simple. I was going to get a cinnamon roll but the pic of it looked small so I opted for the generously portioned shrimp and grits. Chunky grit with tons of bacon. Solid number of shrimp too. They weren't blackened, just well seasoned and grilled. My wife got an avocado BLT that came with crisp French fries and fresh bacon. Overall delish. I'd return if other spots were packed. They serve a decent flavorful meal.

    Mother Road

    I thought I was going to get my kicks on Route 66, but I was a bit disappointed. After a night out and before heading back to the hotel we wanted to grab some food. Being offseason there aren't many options that stay open later than usual. So you have to pick an choose. When we showed up here there were not many people inside. We parked, walked in, and lead to a booth. Menus were given and we placed our drink order. When you order a drink I swear they give you the biggest glass you can get so that you will not need to ask for a refill. I'm not going to complain on that. The menu is quite extensive, it can take some time to read over. In fact it did take some time to go over, good thing it did because the lack of service was present. When we did finally place our order I went with the Mother Road. Figured since we came to a place called Route 66, might as well pay homage to the namesake burger. Mother Road is an eight ounce beef patty, cooked to your liking. This is then topped with pepper jack cheese, bacon, onion rings, barbecue sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion. Served with fries and a pickle rounds out the meal. This wasn't anything to write home about. The toppings really outweighed the burger. In fact, there just were too many toppings. They almost watered down the entire thing. And to put onion rings and raw onion on a burger was a bit much in my opinion. The fries, really bland. You could tell that they were frozen and just put in the fryer. The amount they give you almost makes you overlook that they were fried a bit too much. What was more off-putting here was the staff. While we were eating our food some of the kitchen staff came out to have their meal as well. They were loud and obnoxious. And it wasn't just the kitchen staff, the wait staff chipped in a bit as well. Probably won't come back here as the food and service were just lackluster.

    Smashed Smash Burger Tacos
    Kristina B.

    We were greeted as we came through the door by Nico. She seated us and also let us know she'd be our server. Very cute diner, music not loud. We took several minutes to decide on our order. Nico checked back a couple of times. We settled on Chicken Parm Sammy and Smashed Burger Tacos. Food arrived in less than 15 minutes. It was fresh, hot, and delicious. Huge portion of fries. Reasonably priced and great service all around. Highly recommend!

    Fried zucchini app
    Karen C.

    Run, don't walk, to this new addition to OC. This is elevated diner food, and we loved everything we tried. Fried zucchini was crisp and hot, w a tangy tomato sauce. The Chicken and Waffle Benny was outstanding. Great flavor combo when eaten together, but each element was delicious on its own. Juicy chicken, perfectly cooked eggs, subtle hollandaise, and that waffle was seriously the best I have ever had. The Route 66 Dream was the perfect traditional breakfast. Again, perfectly cooked eggs, tasty turkey sausage, nicely grilled toast and buttery grits. Service was on point, friendly w just the right amount of attentiveness, and the food arrived quickly. I will be back soon, I need to try that Coca Cola cake sundae!

    Overall really good. Service was good. Food was good. The menu was just the right size. Kids meals were plentiful. I will come back

    Salisbury steak dinner at the Route 66 Diner OC MD.

    Service was great and the Salisbury steak was very good. Too much to eat for dinner. Mashed potatoes and string beans sides were very good also. Set up like a diner with booths and tables as well as counter.

    Smash burger tacos

    Had the smash burger tacos. TO DIE FOR !!! so good. Restaurant was clean service was fast and friendly. Lunch was a 10 !

    Blueberry pancakes
    Jennifer M.

    This place was good I'm not sure why it only has 1 star on here. It's nothing fancy but it's a good lower cost breakfast. The waitress was very friendly.

    You can tell by color of the cream and the taste and look of the beef that it's garbage.  I knew it as soon as she set plate down.

We saw some good ratings and gave this place a shot and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff who helped us make the right selection. As my wife was fasting, she went with a small fruit bowl, my son chose shortstack pancakes, and I tried the veggie hash. The fruit bowl was decorated well and had plenty of variety. From blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, watermelons, apples, bananas, and others, all the fruits were fresh and perfectly ripe. The pancakes were very large and just one would have been more than enough for two people it seems but they even added berries for my son on them. The veggie hash had lots of potential. It was cooked well, however, lacked seasoning. It seemed slightly bland and I had to utilize ketchup to give it some identity. However, the quality and variety of veggies inside was great. Overall, I am giving four stars due to the fact that the prices are high, but the service and quality are worth it; especially for such a close location to the boardwalk.

We were set on getting the salmon and the swordfish dishes which we did, and it did not disappoint! They were the most delicious dishes I had experienced in a long time. I asked about the seasoning on the salmon and the waitress, who was fabulous, said it was Moroccan. I loved the hint of cinnamon but according to the Moroccan spice I looked at on the web, it is a combination of numerous spices which amounts to a delicious combination of flavors. Both dishes were paired perfectly with their sides and sauces. I have never left a review about a restaurant before. This will be one of my few unforgettable meals. If dining inside, bring a sweater. They don't skimp on their air-conditioning. It was a cool night so we ate outside which was nice, but what made it nicer was our wonderful waitress, Fanika(?), who had the most awesome, helpful, outgoing personality that makes a dining experience that much better. And she was right about the coconut espresso martini. It was delicious! She also mentioned that the menus are seasonal so I am looking forward to returning to Hooked when I'm back in OC and trying other meals. I'm hooked!!

I started with two soups - jerk chicken and rice soup and the cream of crab. The chicken was good and had long rice with plenty of spices but the soup came out very lukewarm. Granted I don't need it piping but it was somewhat concerning. Also - the chicken was a tenderloin rather than shredded or chopped which was kind of hard to negotiate with a spoon. The cream of crab continues to cement its place as the top 2 cream of crab soups in and around OC. I went with the longboard burger as my meal - served with pasta salad. Really like the pasta salad as a side being different. The burger was pretty skimpy on the special sauce that came with it, but I asked for a side of bleu cheese which was good. The bartender who served us was a younger guy with a beard and longer hair - very friendly and attentive to everyone. Again - nice chill vibe here - cool little built-in market area and a cool design.

Longboard Café is a convenient and lovely stop just across the main bridge into Ocean City. There's plenty of parking in the shopping center lot, plus indoor seating and a covered outdoor patio. It's a very pet-friendly, cozy place. Our server was attentive from start to finish. Rex got a bowl of water, some bacon, and even a cute bandana. That was before he managed to score a few bites of our burgers... because they're pretty big! I had the jerk mahi-mahi tacos. It was a good lunch portion. The fish was cooked a bit longer than I'd like, but it was still enjoyable. The crab cake burger was savory and delicious! The pasta salad, which is offered as a side with many of the entrees, was also excellent. Loaded with herbs, capers, and simply full of flavor. Two other burgers at our table (the Longboard Burger and the Bacon Burger) were also thoroughly enjoyed. I almost forgot... the beverages were great too. The classic margarita was awesome. Good ingredients, that splash of Grand Marnier, and not overly sweet. You might want a second... My kids had the Cosmockpolitan and the Strawberry Lemonade Crush. Both were refreshing and disappeared quickly. Between the friendly service, the good food, the excellent drinks, and the VIP treatment for Rex, we left very happy. We'll definitely be back.
