Satellite Cafe: A Once-Beloved Tradition Now Ruined I Boardwalk location attached to the Howard Johnson
For the past 25 years, Satellite Cafe has been a cherished part of my annual vacation to Ocean City, MD. Unfortunately, my recent visit under the new management was nothing short of disappointing.
The menu changes were the first red flag. One of my favorite dishes, the Spanish omelette, was completely removed. Many of the remaining dishes were either unrecognizable or drastically altered. The food that was served was underwhelming and completely lacked flavor. It was clear they were skimping on ingredients and cutting corners.
The sausages, which were once real, plump, and large links, are now little twigs that were dry and tasteless.

Very disappointing and unsatisfactory. Will not be patronizing this...

The food was undercooked (pancakes and scrambled eggs), and there were flies and an unclean atmosphere. The server was polite.
