  Excellent breakfast! Loved the decor! We went in October and they had the restaurant decorated for Halloween! It was great! The food is amazing! We went to Rohoboth Beach and Ocean City not long after and none of the breakfasts compared to Jolly Roger’s! I would highly recommend coming to Jolky Roger’s for breakfast!

  too loud, dissociated and not enjoy my food. they lowkey blasting that music all up on you and it not even good songs. worker stressed out so she not mean to be rude so it’s okay i like. cute idea but too much happen it feel like a hoarder basement. i like karaoke part it clean and organized, dining room not. only come if you tryna drink or play pool. the food not good. bland. they decorate the bread with all this orange powder but it still taste like paper so it’s probably paprika. it tasted like white people food and that’s saying a lot because i’m white so everything is usually spicy to me but this was just poop. crab dip tast like can tuna and milk. make me wanna poop lowk. food not even look good either. the workers nice and clearly popular place but idk why. highlight of night was cute old man sing for us and he ate that lowkey. other than neal i not a big fan. too much happen. thank for time. ok. win squishy orange ball at claw machine first try, happy for that. ok.

  Food was bland and dated for the most part. For the quality it was extremely expensive. For a plate of unseasoned, but well fried chicken Parm, with a side of tasteless spaghetti - a plate of manicotti bolognese that was fine, if boring - a very large bowl of decent but bland crab Alfredo - an order of chicken tenders and fries - a half pound of steamed "peel yourself" shrimp - and an order of fried pickles, it was close to $200 with a 20% tip. We got sodas and sweet teas. The service came with a family sized side of garlic bread and focaccia with seasoned olive oil. The bread and oil were the best part of the meal. It was early when we ate, around 4pm. The restaurant was not busy at all; we're not in peak season. The server was a little impatient, and not exactly rude but not at all pleasant. The hostess that sat us was the same. The whole place is fun and eclecticly decorated. The atmosphere is very nice, family fun, right out of the late 80s. Unfortunately the menu is the same.

  Surprised at 7pm on a Monday after Labor day theres a 20 minute wait. But with family from visiting from the UK for their first time in KDH, we just got in from VB. Wanted to take them somewhere nearby. I had misgivings. During the wait we attempted to look around in the gift shop but kept moving out of the way for the Hostess + incoming diners making their way. 18 mins later our table was up. Get to table, waitress comes reasonably quick. Im from VB, order an OBX crush and a cup of she crab to compare. I noted for my she crab to come out before my food. Then attempted to order an oyster shooter and the waitress looked at me as if I was purple. Wasnt the anguage barrier, it was clear they didnt do them cuz this girl has no idea. Once she finally understood, told her not to worry about it. If they dont serve them, I could wait to get one elsewhere. So our party of 4 finally gets their order in once my FIL find a beer on the drink menu that IS in stock. In a reasonable time the drinks come. Im presented with the SADDEST looking Crush Ive ever seen. A faint scum of ice floating at the top but whatever, I just wont order another where id kind of wanted to throw back 2 or 3 with my meal. 2 beers come, one for my husband + one for my FIL. One beer in a glass and the one for my FIL in a plastic cup. We couldnt figure out why. The difference was definitely noted. My MIL had ordered coffee but we had to sit awkwardly and wait the waitress to come around again to ask for cream and sugar. Still, nothing wild, it was still busy enough but now the little strikes are beginning to add up. By this point too we noticed the music in the restaurant had randomly just stopped and never came back on which was a bummer because my husband and I were singing and humming along to. Another little but arbitrary strike. A few minutes later side salads come. I get it, a little side salad is quick to make but it was still a couple minutes before I got my cup of She Crab. Now everyone does She Cran differently so i wont fault them for not loading it to overflow with crab meat but it was way too salty. I barely get a couple bites in to decide that and now yhe food is coming. Refer to that i asked for my soup to come before food. My manicotti is ok. Better than something I can get from the frozen aisle of my local grocer? NO. Again i can deal as long as my in laws enjoy their meal. My FIL asks for some malt vinegar for his caesar salad. As an American this was admittedly new to me but it was something he obviously was requesting to enhance his entire salad to enjoy. Here's where the real issue begins. It's a simple request. This is a beach town, though not on the table surely the JR has malt vinegar. 5 mins, 10 mins goes by. Waitress returns to meander to take the order of 2 people who came in after us. Naturally when done she will come to check on us as our body language indicates we are still waiting on the malt vinegar. Waitress quickly takes their order but proceeds to carry on a casual conversation. One that indicated she's leaving in a couple days being an eastern euro summer worker. Something many businesses take advantage of down here, that's well known. But what my husband and I agreed on was that clearly she didn't give a fig cuz she's leaving soon. So my husband goes to ask the bus boy if he can just grab a bottle of malt vinegar and he bluntly points and says we have to wait for our server. I hear that and stand up, walk over to the table and apologize for interrupting the casual conversation but if we could please get the malt vinegar we asked for! A minute later she comes back with OIL. At this point for the sake of the table he just takes it cuz Im ready to go to the Hostess. At this point I'm put off my meal entirely. Ask for bill, we pay we go. I forego the ornament + tshirt i was gonna buy. Hostess on the way out tries to give us a breakfast deal which my knee jerk response was "we WON'T ever be coming back."
