“ Staff were nice and helpful. Food was fast and incredible. Would highly recommend. Family friendly. ”
“ The best breakfast on Earth, every time! Jimmy's Kitchen is the perfect small town breakfast diner. Sunshine decorations fill the walls and warm breakfast meals fill the tables. Jimmy's is famous for Cream Chipped Beef (also called S.O.S.). This warm meal has a creamy base with sliced beef and is cooked to perfection. Many get this meal on toast or hashbrowns (but I prefer it as is). This location opens at 7am and fills up fast. There may be a short wait, but trust me... IT IS WORTH IT! I have been to plenty of breakfast diners and nothing has ever beaten Jimmy's Kitchen. ”
“ Cool place. Service was exceptional. From the breakfast sandwich to the omelet to the SOS.. everyone was pleased and left no trace of breakfast. Will be back for sure, ”
“ Went back to Jimmy's on October 7th after the summer absence. I don't go when the tourists are here, sorry. Anyways... Same as ever All great as ever Had SOS over home fries with one egg on the side...rye toast...yum Love my Jimmy's ... Best place in OC or southern Del for breakfast let me tell you Get here early like I did...they open at 7 Fantastic ”
“ I'm visiting my friend at his beach house right across the highway from Jimmy's, like literally can walk there in 3 minutes. He says "it's the best breakfast in Fenwick" and that he is a true regular there and never eats breakfast anywhere else. Usually he goes in alone and sits at the bar so today was the first time he came and sat in the diner with us (3 friends). He was NOT LYING. BEST. BREAKFAST. EVER. Everything was made just right. I got the Nor'Easter with SOS and hotcakes. BEST HOTCAKES. BEST SOS (creamed chipped beef if you're lost). It's a very small place but the business they get proves that it's the best. A literal line out the door. Unless you get there right at 7am, expect a wait. And they're only open til noon so you gotta make time for this place. The service is outstanding too. If you can be patient enough to wait for a seat, it's friggin worth it. It's QUICK SERVICE for such a busy place. Between 4 of us, we ordered enough food to think it would take a minute, and it literally on took 5 minutes. Plus everyone is super nice. I could go on and on, but basically - you need to eat here. And it's so cheap for the quality of food and service. I haven't written a review in awhile and it's so good I had to write one. Thanks so much for filling my tummy 2 days in a row (and probably again tomorrow). ”
“ Pretty great! I almost got popped because they have mirror windows I guess to block the heat / sun so it looked closed. Sat right away, they have tees and stickers, read their chipped beef was the item to try - so I did and it was like my great grandma's that is good. I appreciated the young man who was working hard - like clock work every minute he would make a round to check for water fill ups and tables to clear. I assumed he was maybe someone's son but he did a great job! ”
“ Stopped here for a weekday breakfast while down in the Ocean City area. First thing - they are open everyday, even though when we pulled up it looked like they were closed. Decor is a very bright and loud - we were sat in a booth and ordered quickly. I went with a coffee and a scrapple omelette with hashbrowns. Comes with the standard toast as well. I really appreciate the single serve variety of jellies and jams in the packets so I could have one of each. Lady was nice who waited on us. Appreciated it. Would recommend! ”
“ Jimmy's is a must every trip to the beach. At least once. Sat at the bar today. Dashie was my server. She's very friendly and efficient. And as a creature of habit, I ordered my usual sausage, ham and cheese omelette with the side slab of SCRAPPLE and rye toast, which is essential at places like Jimmy's. Especially topped with orange marmalade. Food and service rule along with the sunshiny ambience of the beach. All is good. Even when boss isn't there. Great crew. Great service. ”
