Waiting in line can be absolutely miserable, so get here early and gorge yourself on donuts! They are all good - but cinnamon sugar is my favorite. Breakfast is good too, although pretty standard and just an excuse to order donuts on the side. Oh, and it is right on the boardwalk with nice views of the beach!

Great place to have breakfast. Very friendly owners. You can see the ocean while you eat and oh don't forget to finish with a freshly made to order donut!

Brown's doughnuts are not to be beat! They are served so hot you have to wait for them to cool off! The rest my my breakfast year was very enjoyable as well. I could just see the ocean from our table and there are lots of windows to enjoy the sea breezes. Just be aware that unless it is a... More

I've never actually eaten a meal here, but I gained 3 pounds during our vacation week eating their hot cinnamon sugar donuts EVERY morning. I should have stopped with one, but you really have to eat two when they are hot and crispy right out of the fryer. Sigh ... heaven!

My wife and I ate here for breakfast one morning. We had the waffles and omelet and thought they were both very good. However, we ate at the OC Surf Cafe the next morning and thought that they (OC) were cheaper and had better food.

While on a short getaway to Ocean City, my granddaughter & I walked on the beach early the first morning and came upon Brown's. I needed coffee, and she saw the word "donuts." Although I didn't order a donut the first day, I took a bite of hers (cinnamon-sugar) and was sold. The next two early mornings we were there... More

My wife and I had a wonderful breakfast at Browns last Saturday. We have been by there hundreds of times before but this was my first time inside. I'll preface this by saying that we had breakfast at 7:30 am on a Saturday morning during one of the last weeks in August. It can get very busy and we have... More

Like others say - line up and wait! Cinnamon/sugar the absolute best! It's been a family tradition for years with us. Ride bikes - get the best donuts!

Get there early and line up for the best, fresh hot donuts in the world! The cinnamon/sugar donuts are the best! The white powder sugar is 2nd. There will be 50 people in line by 8 AM. Good breakfast too!
