Old fashioned little eatery. Â Not too far off of the highway and well worth the detour if you are passing by. Â We had breakfast, excellent rub on the steak for steak and eggs. Â We also had a short stack with an egg and potatoes. Â Delicious. Â Nothing against iHop but I prefer the breakfast we had here. Â BTW, where else can you get "scrapple"?
They do server lunch and dinner. The menu had good home-style meals and seafood.
I read the reviews on Yelp and knew this was the place to fuel up before a long day in the the cold drizzle while fossil hunting.
We seated ourselves at the counter in the back.
Service was immediate.
I ordered the breakfast combo with turkey sausage and my son got eggs with potatoes.
The hot sauce is Texas Pete's.
Tip: There is a side door from the parking lot that leads right to the counter.
Based on other's reviews I drove in from DC for breakfast. So, based on those other's reviews, let's assume they were having an off morning. Because if I were writing just based on this one visit my rating would be a solid 2-stars. Why do I not agree with everyone's 4/5-star raves? First: The grits were not good. They were lumpy and tasted pasty, as if  thickened with flour. Second: If an over easy egg yolk breaks on the flat-top, cook another egg. Don't finish cooking the broken egg until it is hard and then try to hide it under the other over easy. (Tisk-tisk) That said, there was some greatness to the meal. The scrapple was perfect. Thick cut and fried to a hard crunch on both sides with a soft middle. (Extra points for the scrapple) The service was as described by others. The atmosphere too, as described in other reviews. Very 'hole in the wall'. It's only about an hour drive from the DC beltway. But unfortunately this visit wasn't great enough to bring me back. As I said in the beginning of this review, hopefully this was just an off morning. So hopefully your experience will be 5-star. Also, I was only there for breakfast so maybe other times would be better. If you are in the area, and don't want a chain, don't pass by The Frying Pan based on my one so-so review. It is still a great little place. It just wasn't that great today.
Review Source:I've been gone a long time but I am back and I am in my house and I am ready to head to The Frying Pan because yes, it is worth the drive and yes, it is THAT good. Ambiance? Heck yes - it's not a date night (unless you're very comfortable with your sweetie and you aren't out to impress). It's COMFORTABLE and the food is down home and comfortable and homey. No matter when you go or what you get, expect huge portions of tasty, home cooked food. I am thinking I need to head over for the day so I can have breakfast, lunch AND dinner and get my fill -- maybe once a month or so. It is a hidden gem that I have told people about whenever we've had military friends headed to Pax River Maryland for any reason and they have often told me they thought I was crazy UNTIL they got their food and then it became their home away from home too! Run don't walk to Lusby and The Frying Pan; you won't be disappointed.
Review Source:Stopped here for breakfast on the way to Solomon's. It's definitely a hole in the wall and a place where locals eat; way better than stopping at a fast food chain. Â We had the country breakfast -- eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes or grits, and three pancakes -- and corned beef hash and eggs. Â Huge portions at reasonable prices. Â The food was very good and the service was friendly but a little slow. Â It felt a bit like someone's basement, with wood paneling, a bar, and lots of people just hanging out and laughing. All in all a warm and welcoming experience with good food and friendly service.
Review Source:Very cozy, yummy, breakfast place. My dad showed me this hidden gem in Calvert county one morning when we were searching for a new place to have breakfast. I am a fan and wish I was able to make it over more for breakfast. Very reasonably priced, with a friendly service staff this hole-in-the wall is a must.
Review Source:Visiting Lusby for a family wedding and staying with my brother in Dowell. Â We decide to go get breakfast before taking a walk around Solomons.
I told him...I want a hole-in-the-wall type of place that the locals eat at...not a chain. Â He knows just the place...The Frying Pan. Â He is a regular there and they know him. Â Basic breakfast food, just what I wanted. Â Filled up and ready to take on the heat and humidity of Solomons.
I will probably come here for breakfast at least once more during this visit. Â A gem!
Had breakfast here with my husband on a Sunday morning. Â Make sure you get there early or you'll wait in line.
The food was great. Â Diner style, fresh, and big portions.
Service was good. Â Nice waitstaff.
The building has seen better days. Â But you don't come here for the decorum.
Better food than a Denny's, less atmoshpere than a Waffle House.
For what it is (to me), this place is a great place to go for breakfast. Â No frills, no fuss, usually no problem getting a seat and very quick acknowledgment by a staff member and relatively good prices, especially considering that just about everything in the Lusby Town Center/Solomons Island area is way overpriced.
The decor ain't much and it's a bit dark and dingy, but this place seems to be an apropos stop for one of those days after a long night out on the town or when you don't want to go get ripped off at one of the other places in the area.
Quick in and quick out and a pleasant time; plain and simple.
