The food is excellent. We have been several times and have not been disappointed yet. The cream of crab soup, the fish tacos and the Filet Mignon keep us coming back.

DeNovo's has been a standard favorite of the locals for many many years. Initially a sub shop it has become a good diner with great "specials" throughout the week. The also opened a great little ice cream shop next door.....something that was truly needed in Ocean Pines!

The Frankford Family Diner is located along US 113 North about five miles north of the Delaware/Maryland state line. As we were going through northern Maryland, we started to look for something along the lines of fast food, but not much came up with satisfactory reviews, so a quick search online brought us to this place instead. Parking was easy to get into for this visit as well. Note that you can only access the place while traveling north along US 113. If traveling south, you will need to do a U-turn to get to the place. Our visit here was on September 22, 2019.When you look at the place from the outside, it looks like a little red building and wouldn't think much of it. Looks can be deceiving, as it was actually a great experience. Once we got inside, we were asked if we wanted a booth or a table. We requested a table and we were immediately seated as well. It was pretty busy at the time, even for 1:30 pm. Shortly after, our server Cathy was at the table, introduced herself and asked us for our drink order. It was a Pepsi kind of day for the drink. After bringing the drinks over, she asked if we were ready to order, but wasn't quite ready yet. After some additional time, we were ready to order. We both went with items on the mini meals menu. I ended up getting the Stuffed Shrimp mini meal with french fries. My mom would end up getting the Fried Scallops mini meal with a baked potato.About 10 minutes later, our orders were ready and came to the table. The Stuffed Shrimp was stuffed with a lot of crab meat. The crab meat was all real crab meat with no fillers in it. Also, for a mini meal, it was a large portion too, making it well worth the cost of the entree. The crab meat was hot and tasteful. I was blown away by this entree. My mom said the fried scallops were great for her as well, along with the baked potato. Our server came by a few times to check on us to make sure things went were fine, which of course for us it was. At the end, she asked if we wanted anything else, but definitely too full for that.Overall, this was an excellent experience. It takes a lot for me to give a place a five star rating, especially after only one visit, but this place is deserving of it. The food and service were excellent. Another nice perk is that there is no sales tax in Delaware, so no taxes were added to the end of the bill as well. The food portion sizes were large, even for a mini meal. When we come back home this way in the future, we plan to make it a point to stop here again. If your travels take you this way, and are hungry for some good diner food, this is the place to go. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Fantastic meal with the absolute best crab meat dishes this Baltimore boy has ever tasted. But the whole experience is a bit unorthodox. First of all the place is VERY small with a very limited amount of seating, only a few tables in the whole place. It's a "reservation only" place, and the management is very particular and stringent on the reservation process. You must call exactly 2 weeks on advance to when you want to come. If you call more than 2 weeks out, they will tell you to call back at the 2 week mark. And even then, you are not guaranteed a seating, as the place as reservatioms are made in order of when they're received. My guess is that they book up rather quickly. While it can make getting a table difficult, the process has it's advantages to the customer (which I'll elaborate on later). Also making it unorthodox is that it's a cash-only operation--which alone doesn't make it unorthodox. There are still pleny of "cash only" oerations in this day and age, and that's fine. But the problem is that this place does not have a website and there is no published menu online anywhere, so there's no way to estimate the price-points before heading to the ATM for cash. Speaking of menus, when we hot there, we eventually learned that there are no actual "menus" to speak of. The menu literally changes daily and seasonally, depending on what's fresh and what the chef is in the mood to prepare. The server goes over the menu options verbally. Again though, while they do a good job of describing each dish, at no time was there any indication of how much the items cost during the presentation. But when you get through all that, the experience is just great. The servers go over the appetizers/starters first and then let you mull them over, then they take your order for apps before presenting the entree menu. This is great because it ensures that your appetizers come out properly timed and that your entrees don't come out 2 minutes after your apps (which I hate, but happens all the time these days).Once the apps are rung in and being prepped, then they go over the entree menu (seafood oriwnted with a few meat dished). And let me tell you, most people with our group ordered something differrnt and EVERYTHING was amazing. The portion size were very reasonable for the prices (on the high side but not outrageous). Some fancy aces like to charrge through the nose for a tiny nibble of food. Definitely did not feel ripped off with the anount of food. And it was fantastic. Everything is fresh, ingredients that were probably swimming or on the farm that morning. And while everything was good, the crab entrees were the real winner. One with 3 massive sea scallops over a bed of fresh MARYLAND backfin crabmeat was one of the tastiest entrees I've ever had anywhere. And overall, while the reservation and seating process is a bit cumbersome, it ultimately works out for the customer's best interest. By knowing in advance EXACTLY how many customers there will be each evening and how many tables will be seated for the night, they are able to effectively prep in advance and make sure there is sufficient staff available. And with such a small # of tabkes, it ensures that the kitchen never gets "backed up" and that the serves never get in the weeds, thereby ensuring that you will get great service. We definitely will go back, but next time we know to scale back on the appetizers so we have enough room for the main course.

Stopping in for a late lunch while working in the area. My coworker had a buffalo chicken wrap he enjoyed. I had the French dip which was very good and a salad. The downside was the atmosphere - soap operas blaring on both TVs, personality-less servers (I still donât know who our server was as we never saw the same one twice). I donât believe Iâll be back.

This was our second visit to this restaurant, and it is amazing....go at sunset for the view, but, stay for the food. My wife and I both had the Cream of Crab Bisque...loaded with huge chunks of jumbo lump crab.....soooooooo goooooood. The house salad was okay....average....nothing bad....but, nothing to get excited about.... my wife had the Caesar Salad and again, it was okay....Then Joan had the 5 oz.crab cake, and I had the 6 oz. 'er. TOTALLY AWESOME! Huge lumps of crab meat...no filler....great taste!.....my French Fries were very good, and my wife had their home made kettle fries (potato chips) Even though we got there 45 minutes before closing, no one rushed us, and we ate at a comfortable pace and only detained their closing by 5 minutes.The food and the service here are wonderful and we're doing our part to spread the word. Pay them a visit....you'.. thank me for it.

A local told us about this one and he was right. You go up to the counter and order and they call your name. Lots of crab with very little filler perfectly cooked with a local tomato slice. Had to use my fork to shorten the crab cake for ease of eating. Great location looking into the marsh with an osprey nest with two ospreys on it.

This is my absolute favorite restaurant in the Berlin/Ocean City area. The food is interesting and outstanding. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable, yet very classy. The service is excellent. Iâve eaten here several times and have never been disappointed.
