I actually live here and we love Happy Jacks on 25th street. They have everyone's favorites, but they also have weekly specials, and some are pretty outrageous definitely something you need to try
I agree with number 1! we stay at the Sahara every year and it's so easy to walk from our room to the cafe. The food there is delicious and some of the best out there
Have to say Sahara looked like a must try, along with bayside skillet. Surfing Rooster on 611West OC. is one of our favorites the tasso gravy as well as the smoked gouda grits are Great! Another one of our favorites is the Decatur diner on 611.
The Dough Roller Restaurants at 3rd Street on the Boardwalk and the The Dough Roller at 4th Street / just down from the Convention center. The Service and Food are Awesome and Amazing too.
Fractured Prune is great. I only kept it out of this competition because it's really a specialty eatery. However, it does make my best of restaurants videos. Check them out on my channel.
I just got back from OC. My Daughter lives in Dover Delaware. She pointed out a place in West OC, where she had a great breakfast. I'm not sure if it's the same place or not. It was at a weird angle from the road we were on. We went during Bike Week. If I had known I could have brought my little Eliminator. I been going there since the 70s. I laugh going by the Eden Roc. Lol. It's been there since then. Can't wait to see more. I love OC.MD.
I hope everyone enjoys there restaurant of choice. I wait from year to year to get the Bayside skillet. If our family or friends are at the beach I even have them bring me home the Seaford crepes .UNBELIEVABLE. hands down # 1 on my list .see you August 26 th
Ummmmmmm SHARKYS GRILL on 2nd street & Baltimore. Family owned and the food is literally amazinggggggggg. They have my favorite scrapple!!! In a recent 3 day trip I went there 3 days in a row because it’s just comfort and good price and fast service and great food
So we are a little new to the brunch game but the lookout lounge on 45th is going to blow you away. There’s literally not a single thing we don’t make in house from the Canadian bacon to the English muffins and everything in between. I am confident when I say we are the only scratch kitchen in Ocean City. Come see us!!
I want to say thank you. I've been going to OCMD multiple times a year for 14 years. I haven't heard of most of these places or the dive bars, for that matter. Cheers!......
Awesome content! Is there a place on the ocean city board walk to get crab? We are coming in a few weeks and my son wants to try crab for the first time lol
I have been to and like Barn 34, Laytons and I’ve tried the bayside skillet but, my new best one, not located in OCMD just a short drive away Abi’s which is located back by the casino. Abi’s actually has homefries like we have here in southeastern Pa! Love this place n the chipped beef over toast is amazing
Sahara Cafe is very good but parking is a problem. Hated the tourist trap overpriced Bay side Skillet pink dump. Wife wanted a pancakes nope , then asked for toast nope. She does not like creeps. Laytons good but had problem with young help goofing off and taking forever on the place on 90th Street. Always got great pancakes & omelettes from the two Dough Rollers on the main drag. Heard bad monkey was good ( same guy John that owns Fagers Island owns that ).
The Bad Monkey is an excellent breakfast spot but I’m excited to see Sahara Cafe is #1! My friend and I are staying at that motel in august. We’ll have to try it out for sure!
We have been to Sahara for breakfast at least 8 times for breakfast. Worst part is trying to find a parking spot for sure. Found bay side a joke. They do not offer pancakes or toast. Paid $5 forxa shot glass of so so orange juice. Been to both Layton's for breakfast & lunch. Like the location at South end of town. Twice the Layton's next to Princess Royale had the dumbest laziest college clowns working there. Tried to eat at the bad monkey but they were closed some days during first year of pandemic.
@@JohnThomas-lq5qp yeah. My friend and I will be staying at the Sahara in august so we won’t have to worry about parking. I’m excited to try their breakfast! There’s another Bad Monkey just outside of Ocean City (off of the 50 drawbridge side) that is always open for breakfast. The one in ocean city has been closed so I know what you mean.
Supper at Barn 34 was disappointing) tasteless burger and chicken . Will definitely go back and try a steak though… We were there last weekend for the endless summer car cruise
Barn 34 and Surfside Rooster are the tops in the OC Breakfast game. Malias, Satelite, and Monkey Balls get the honorable mention. All other take in at your own risk.
never been there before but iam going 🚶 this summer breakfast should be ok but where is the best cinnamon French toast. To me there is no breakfast without it I don't know ????? any suggestions. Let me know
Happy Jack is our family’s favorite. Make sure to try the home fries with the Old Bay cheese! Layton’s deserves a spot on the list. The food and fresh donuts are great and the owner comes to every table with samples of his donuts. He treats even the newest guest like his oldest friend. Sahara to us was gag worthy. Everything was piled high with salsa and it was just not to our liking. I would not give it another chance.
Agree about Sahara. Their food isn’t anything special and when you complain about the bad service they treat you like crap. If you check out their reviews it’s not an uncommon issue
Layton's downtown better then the one next to Princess Royale Motel. Shara is a very good place for breakfast. Wish they stayed opened thru November when we come down for our other week in OC.
Huge long time fan of General's Kitchen too they Support Law Enforcement Firefighters EMTs First Responders Public Safety Military Veterans and Their Families
A lot of great places on this list but will never again eat a Sahara. Waited almost an hour for our food and was treated like total crap when we complained. Just because they’re somehow always at the top for meh food they think they can have bad and slow service. Been 4 years and still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Frank, I think I have to bring you and Sahara together for an intervention! Seems you've had some bad experiences from the comments left here. Anyways, thanks for watching and expressing your opinion!
Bob, I'm not cool enough for self-pretentious labels. And you're also not using the term foodie the way you think you are. My selection is consistent with thousands of people who voted Bayside Skillet as a top choice on TripAdvisor - one of the premises of this entire video. Listen closer next time.
@@TravelwithTrey I didn't mean to sound pretentious or "self-pretentious." Thousands of people also love the Dough Roller. Doesn't hold a lot of water. You went through a lot of work to make a video about breakfast places. I apologize for not being more respectful in disagreeing with you. I've only gone there once and the service was spot on. It's the food that was not good. If you're a crepe type person who wants a fruity breakfast, it might be ok. If you want a "real" breakfast, eggs, meat, potatoes, benedict, or other traditional meal? Nope. Denny's comes closer. Denny's! I know they've changed their menu over the years. It may be better now.
@@bobwachter8811 I appreciate your apology. Like I said in the video, I am just delivering my opinions and you are free to disagree.

@@TravelwithTrey Have you been to other places other than the ones you have evaluated ? I'm sorry if I upset you. It wasn't meant to be disrespectful. But there other places to go for breakfast.....
@@yessmitty777 Not upset at all! I certainly have been to many breakfast spots in Ocean City as I've been going to the beach every summer for the past 30+ years.

Oh, Trey you need to realize you’re eating on camera and I’m not interested in watching you eat with your mouth open while you are chewing your food!!! The restaurant selections were both very familiar and new to me.
lol. I haven't quite mastered the food/commentary thing. Please forgive me! But thanks for watching and commenting. You feed the algorithm and put money in my pocket! Be sure to check out my other eating videos! Chomp! Chomp!
Wow. That's all you got out of the video, Karen? I'm sure no one wants to watch you eat either. This guy actually does a great job and a service to the OC community. Move along.
Great reviews. You are like the Guy Fieri of Ocean City! lol.
Dough Roller & Layton’s are my two favorite places for breakfast in OC!
I actually live here and we love Happy Jacks on 25th street. They have everyone's favorites, but they also have weekly specials, and some are pretty outrageous definitely something you need to try
Bayside Skillet looks awesome!
I agree with number 1! we stay at the Sahara every year and it's so easy to walk from our room to the cafe. The food there is delicious and some of the best out there
Was just in OCMD, last week...had breakfast at the Sahara everyday..the best
Like the Sahara for breakfast but tuff at times finding parking.
Sahara Cafe is very good. Our family favorite is Layton’s on 16th and Philadelphia. Been going to Layton’s for a long time.
I worked at The BaysideSkillet. I bet Jim is still there. My fave was the strawberry blintz omelette. The Chantilly cream is amazing.
We're staying in Downtown on our first trip to OCMD and looking for spots to walk to. Malia's for breakfast one day sounds perfect.
I just always have to go to the Fractured Prune.
Plus Anglers has an after dinner cruise for $6, when you spend $15. Well worth it.
You are my favorite TH-camr and I’m going to Ocean City in August 21 and my favorite place to eat in Ocean City is bad monkey
Thank you so much! I need to put up some new OC content. I'm heading down soon. Thanks for watching!
Have to say Sahara looked like a must try, along with bayside skillet. Surfing Rooster on 611West OC. is one of our favorites the tasso gravy as well as the smoked gouda grits are Great! Another one of our favorites is the Decatur diner on 611.
I STAY AT SPINNAKER AND LOVE MALIAS . THE OMELLET WITH CHIP BEEF THE. BEST ❗️❗️❗️
LOL been coming to OC for 60 years never noticed any of these places. Good to know will need to try your #1

Sahara Cafe is always a winner when my family and I are in OC, we love that place!!!
Always go to 19th street and the Cafe around 11:00

Barn 34 is an absolute favorite of mine, but I also like the Satellite Café . See you all next week for Cruisin' Ocean City!!!!
The Dough Roller Restaurants at 3rd Street on the Boardwalk and the The Dough Roller at 4th Street / just down from the Convention center. The Service and Food are Awesome and Amazing too.
As someone from Ocean City, it's always cool to hear other's reviews of the resort town.
Give me some warm donuts from "FRACTURED PRUNE" and a espresso. Good morning Ocean City!!
Fractured Prune is great. I only kept it out of this competition because it's really a specialty eatery. However, it does make my best of restaurants videos. Check them out on my channel.
I agree with your #1
Love the Sahara Cafe
We stay at the motel (8 years)
Agree but I stay up the street

Great list!
All good spots and great video! Barn 34 family always did it right since back in the day when they had the Pirate’s Den across from the Hilton. 🙌🏼
My favorites is Bad Monkey, Sahara Cafe, Happy Jack's pancake house.
The “Kitchen “ in old town O C is the best!

I'll be sure to try one of these places next time we trip down there.
Try a place call Dirty Harries bakery and restaurant 100 coastal hwy fenwick de its great
So we are a little new to the brunch game but the lookout lounge on 45th is going to blow you away.
There’s literally not a single thing we don’t make in house from the Canadian bacon to the English muffins and everything in between.
I am confident when I say we are the only scratch kitchen in Ocean City. Come see us!!
We like the First Bar at The Inlet.
For breakfast?
@@TravelwithTrey yes,real plates, cups and flatware.
@@hazelbrungard1623 interesting. I didn't know they served breakfast, but more surprised they let you use real utensils.
@@TravelwithTrey
Why wouldn't they? Nothing overly fancy , but good food not pricy.
I want to say thank you. I've been going to OCMD multiple times a year for 14 years. I haven't heard of most of these places or the dive bars, for that matter. Cheers!......
@@PMSTACKER3000 Thank you for your kind words!
My favorite and I feel as it's a hidden gem and that's the Victorian Room inside Dunes Manor Hotel.
Heeey welcome back to Maryland!
Thank you, brother!
Hey Trey thanks for the informative video! Great job! What about Layton’s breakfast?
Layton's has a solid traditional breakfast. Used to eat there exclusively for a number of years before there was a lot of competition.
Layton’s down by 16th st is my Fav. Our kids love the muffins and donuts.
Subscribed to your channel ( came over from Facebook) can’t wait to go to OC and try some🤤
Thank you and welcome!
My favorite breakfast is brass balls
Awesome content! Is there a place on the ocean city board walk to get crab? We are coming in a few weeks and my son wants to try crab for the first time lol
Mug and Mallet is the only place that comes to mind. Sorry for the late response!
Bayside Skillet
Spanish omelette side of corned beef hash!!! Are you sure we are related lol
Birds of a feather, my friend! ;)
You should try the Crabcake Factory on 120th st. Excellent breakfast menu
I have been to and like Barn 34, Laytons and I’ve tried the bayside skillet but, my new best one, not located in OCMD just a short drive away Abi’s which is located back by the casino. Abi’s actually has homefries like we have here in southeastern Pa! Love this place n the chipped beef over toast is amazing
Sounds delicious!
Best home fries in Cambria county
Rita's summer hill pa
before the pandemic had the best
Sunday breakfast buffet
Def wanna check out bayside skillet
Sahara Cafe is very good but parking is a problem. Hated the tourist trap overpriced Bay side Skillet pink dump. Wife wanted a pancakes nope , then asked for toast nope. She does not like creeps.

Can’t wait to try Sahara!
Can't go wrong I always start off with
the Philly Cheese steak omelet
,Best in O C
day 1 Pilly cheese steak omelet
day 2 Big stack Blueberry Pancakes
Then repeat
Sahara Cafe 19th Street
You mentioned all of my favorites except The Bad Monkey!
Decatur Diner!
Yes!!! Ate there 3 times the one year.
th-cam.com/video/UIuPJqZk-rs/w-d-xo.html
Luv the Shirt Harbor Inn !
As a local happyjacks satellite Cafe and Soriano's are the best !!!

Layton’s all day

We were there last weekend for the endless summer car cruise
Try the breakfast!
I really need a vacation. Fully enjoyed the video 😢..

Trying to figure out if Monkey Balls might be Bad Monkey? 🐒 🙈 🙊
@@TravelwithTrey Yeah probably and they make their own monkey bread
never been there before but iam going 🚶 this summer breakfast should be ok but where is the best cinnamon French toast. To me there is no breakfast without it
I don't know ????? any suggestions. Let me know
I would point you to Barn 34 or Surfside Rooster.
@@TravelwithTrey Thanks that will do ill write this down. French toast are my favorite
I wonder who that old owner was who followed the Grateful Dead around the country 70’s - 90’s ?
Heard he makes the best chipped beef in OC too.
@@stevenrobbins7727 😎was taught by the best over 40 years ago
He ran the Sahara Cafe 19 Street
until 2 years ago

then the big stack of Blueberry Pancakes

Number 1 on Trip Advisor and gagworthy? Must have had an experience unlike anyone else. Stay away from the salsa! 😉
They were good when I was there 10 years ago. But inevitable that things change...

What about laytons?!
No Laytons?!?!?!??
Solid food, but not in my Top 5.
Layton's downtown better then the one next to Princess Royale Motel. Shara is a very good place for breakfast. Wish they stayed opened thru November when we come down for our other week in OC.
@@TravelwithTrey yea it’s criminal to not be top 5. 😂
Chip beef omelette? I’m good.
The Kitchen
Good night what is the price per night 1 person
Not sure what you mean? These are restaurants, not hotels.
While these are all great spots none of them come close to General's Kitchen Chipped beef. Great food and super sevice.
General's Kitchen is solid. It's definitely a place that has carved out a breakfast niche in Ocean City.
Huge long time fan of General's Kitchen too they Support Law Enforcement Firefighters EMTs First Responders Public Safety Military Veterans and Their Families
It's illegal because you don't know how to hold a fork

can't be beat Jay trained the stall
