Stopped by for a quick breakfast and this location was ultimately the best decision! I can’t wait to return. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive at all times. We went on a rainy morning so it wasn’t packed, but I do think it gets busy on nicer days. It had a nice view but due to the rain, there were covers up. Food was very delicious!

Utterly disgusting. I feel like I got robbed eating here. We ordered the Lobster Eggs Benedict & Dockside Burger. I don’t know what they gave us as “hollandaise” sauce, but it tasted like watery pancake mix. Ordered the burger medium rare and got a dry way over cooked hockey puck. Avoid this place at all cost

Breakfast was delicious. Right on the bay. Beautiful view . Staff was friendly. We had a time frame that we needed to be someplace and they made sure our food was done quick so we didn’t have to rush eating. Menu had a lot of good options on it. A must try

Lobster mac and cheese was awesome! Got a chicken wrap also, great place to watch our kids jump around at the aqua park.

Absolutely fantastic. I’ve been following them on Instagram since they opened, and finally experiencing it in person lived up to all my expectations! The food, the service (Catherine, you’re fabulous!!) and the vibe were all exactly right. Bonus – their coffee mugs are also perfect. We will absolutely be back soon.

We’ve eaten breakfast here as a family often. Finally did takeout dinner and it was a hit. Had the crabcake sampler, broiled seafood combo, lobster burger, and chicken sandwiches. Love their breakfast out on the back porch and great coffee.

Breakfast on the bay in Ocean City, NJ! Top notch menu & service with the best coffee on the island. Dine Al fresco and enjoy the view. My favorites are Short Rib Omelette, Avocado BLT, Chocolate Chip Pancakes & Lobster Benedict. Now I’m hungry. Avg. menu item is $15 – $20 & they have a kids menu. Plenty of free parking in the lot next door. Worth every penny. Go early to avoid a wait.

Molly was our waitress, and she was brimming with charm & enthusiasm. I discovered her Dad was a Vietnam Vet like myself, and we were instantly family.

I was so excited to try this new place, and I was not disappointed! We went for a mid-morning breakfast over Labor Day weekend. It was overcast, but fortunately the entire dining area/deck is covered with an awning. The deck isn’t huge, and they really tried to get as many tables in there, so it was a little tight, but this only bothered me as I was walking to/from our table; not while we were eating. I ordered the Lobster Benedict, and I was amazed at how huge the pieces of lobster were. They don’t skimp! I would order it again, but I would ask for it without the tomatoes, because I think it watered it down and lost some flavor. My husband ordered the Blueberry Pancakes, which came with four gigantic pancakes! He ate almost two of them, and took the rest home. The fresh squeezed orange juice was good too! Right now, they are just serving breakfast and lunch, but I heard the plan is to start dinner next summer. I hope this is true! I love having a place in town to dine on the water!
