It's not an Ocean City family vacation without multiple trips to Kessel's! During our week at the…read moreshore, we visited Kessel's three times: takeout on our first night, ice cream mid-week, and an early dine-in dinner before heading home. As always, each of our three experiences this July were fantastic, with our last shining the most. We typically do take-out on night number one, and like in years past, the food is always ready on time and prepared as ordered. We ordered an array of items including Cheesesteaks, Chicken Caesar Wrap, Burgers, Grilled Cheese, Fries, and Onion Rings. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The line stretched around the side of the building the night we stopped for ice cream, but it moved quickly. Staff efficiently took orders, prepared cones and sundaes, and kept the line moving despite the large crowd. While take-out is always great from Kessel's, I will always prefer dining in! You really can't beat the old-school diner vibes and decor, and the service is outstanding. Julia, our server, did an incredible job with our party of 7. She was highly attentive, frequently checked in, and really added to our experience. My Cheesesteak Hoagie with hot peppers may have been my favorite thing I've ordered from Kessel's to date, but it's hard to go wrong with anything on the menu. The burgers and wraps are also solid choices. I also ordered a fresh Peach Sundae and I highly recommend! Julia even made my sundae herself in addition to waiting tables, and it tasted every bit as good as it looked. Absolutely picture-worthy! Kessel's is a cash-only establishment, but for seven people--including sandwiches, burgers, wraps, multiple orders of fries, and a few desserts--the total was just over $100. That's an incredible value especially at the Jersey Shore. Kessel's will always be a staple of our family vacations and continues to be a highlight for our nieces. If you've yet to experience breakfast, lunch, dinner, or just an ice cream sundae from this adorable, little, retro-feeling diner, please pay them a visit. I think you'll be glad you did.

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.

good spot on the boardwalk for a quick bite!…read more my boyfriend and i were on the jersey ocean city boardwalk and stopped by for a quick bite. we had the 10-piece tenders which was a hefty amount of food. we got the honey soy spicy which was surprisingly spicy (though they did warn us). the chicken was fresh, hot, and crispy, and i liked that it wasn't too breaded. food came out fresh, and the staff was really friendly! there was a decent amount of people but no crazy lines. more of a pop up window spot so no seating, but there were benches on the boardwalk that we ate at, though we had to flee due to being attacked by seagulls.

Add the feta for $1, it completes the meal. The meat was incredibly, melt-in-your-mouth, tender- no chewy or stringy textures. The bread was pillowy, but had enough structure to hold the contents. Generous amount of Tzatziki melded perfectly with the feta and ran down the corner of my mouth making my taste buds sing. The onion was present but not sharp; tomatoes, fresh. It was a perfect combination of flavors and textures. The staff was pleasant and prepared the sandwich within minutes, then delivered it to me hot and fresh. Pizza and fries are fine, but a good gyro is a lot harder to get your hands on. Ended up being the best thing consumed on the boards!

Where can I find an Apple compatible charger cold on a late Saturday afternoon? Wawa. The night before I was in an Atlantic City hotel and they wanted $35 for one. Found one here for $14. SOLD.

God awful! Those two words perfectly describe my experience with this so-called eatery…read more Two friends and i ordered food from here since everything else, besides fast food, was closed. We ordered two pizzas and three flavors of wings. The pizza was atrocious, paper thin, flavorless and soggy. Low rent even for shore pizza (sorry, just not a fan). Likewise the wings were soggy and flavorless. All three types looked exactly the same as if sauce weren't even applied. The occassional fleck of seasoning was the only tell tale sign that they were coated at all. Way overpriced for food i wouldnt feed to a stray dog. You've been warned! Please stay away and save your money for something that actually passes as food fit for human consumption.

And the pizza tasted like cardboard. I would recommend that you just keep driving and don't bother with this place.

They have enough staff to run a slow night and they seemed pleasant however... I think it is TOTAL BS that they charge $2 more per blizzard just for the simple fact that they are on the boardwalk. For that, they lost my business and I will never return to this location as long as they are blatantly taking advantage of customers. I understand you want to make money but let's be honest, you're making money either way. Your prices are already inflated at your non-boardwalk prices. But $2 over the norm just goes too far for me. It's the ONE time I actually preferred a blizzard over Kohr's Bros while walking the boards. We moseyed over and were checking it out. One look at those prices and we headed straight back to Kohr's Bros. So for every customer you rip off with your inflated prices, you are probably losing a handful more because of your sheisty tactics. They also have a sign proudly displaying that they don't participate in the upside down promotion. Of course they don't! No thanks! We'll continue to give our business to Kohr's Bros and our local Dairy Queen.

I was about to stop drop and roll when I saw the hot new prices at the boardwalk location. The promotional deals for the new blizzard was HOT HOT HOT! I only wish they were open this past February so they could warm me up from being out in the cold. I would do a banana split if this establishment ever closed! The workers are always so warm! The manager was as pleasant as a nice evening around a bonfire. Can't wait to go back soon and enjoy some of the hot new treats!
