Dockside Kitchen — Restaurant in Ocean City

Honestly we came here a year or so ago and had a bad experience. Our food tasted like chemicals our first time there and even the manager and waitress said it smelled of chemicals when we brought the food back to the kitchen. They offered to remake but we had to go. Then we went back to give it a second chance and it was even worst than before. First we ordered coffee and the waitress didn't tell us it was a 2.00 up-charge to add SYRUP to an already 5 dollar latte. Rather than the waitress coming over and asking us how our meal was, she rather sit with the hostess and laugh and we could see her. She didn't come over once to ask us how our meal was and if we needed anything. I had to get up 3 times to ask her for anything because she didn't come over to check on us once. Then I got up and asked for the check and she came out 10 mins later. Then I asked the hostess can I pay here because she didn't come out again after I got the check. The biggest problem I had was it wasn't even busy or summer time. There was literally one other table in the whole place seated. I'm a local and I would understand if it was summer time but it wasn't. Never coming back again.... Bridget F was not qualified to be a server and im a waitress too so I know...

First time there on a Friday morning.

Food was good, we went for breakfast. I was however not happy with where they sat us, in the back by the bus boy station with no view, wobbly table and funky smell. I mentioned the table and the hostess simply put a napkin under it which did not help. I asked the hostess to be seated somewhere else but was told we would have to wait an additional time for tables to become available, even though I could see open tables, so we made do. While we were there, 2 other groups to be sat near us both requested other tables and were granted immediately. I asked for my bacon well done but it was still floppy, no point in sending it back as I was just trying to eat and get out due to our poor seats.

Also I feel their basic breakfast items (pancakes, French toast, eggs) were extremely overpriced. It would be nice to have smaller portion options too, like short stacks or single pancakes for those like my teen that does not eat big breakfasts. I spent over $50 (food + tip)for breakfast for 2 people which is outrageous. Our waitress was very nice. We don’t plan on going...

If you like long unshaded waits for food that would be good if it was served quickly, but isn't, this is the spot for you. We went for breakfast and ended up having lunch. We arrived and were told we would have a 30-minute wait, a slow hour later they finally seated us. Almost an hour after that we finally had our food. If the food had been good I would have left a positive review, but both my lobster roll and my wife's lobster Benedict had been placed under a heat lamp for at least 20 minutes before it was served. While we were waiting for our food, and at least 50 other people were waiting for tables, we saw multiple tables cleared, and sitting empty for around 20 minutes each. This was after the unrealistic long amount of time it took them to bus the tables, taking a few dishes at a time by hand rather than using bus tubs to clear the table all at once. They weren't short-staffed, but the staff they had, had no training and didn't have a clue what they were doing, This isn't the staff's fault but rather it is a...
