Second Denny’s Planned For Old J/R’s Site In OC

SNOW HILL – An iconic Ocean City eatery will be replaced by a Denny’s restaurant this summer.

Motorists entering Ocean City via the Route 90 bridge will soon see a Denny’s in the location formerly occupied by J/R’s, The Place For Ribs. On Wednesday the Worcester County Board of License Commissioners (BLC) granted Denny’s a beer wine and liquor license.

“We expect to be open sometime in the middle of August,” said Mike Rommel, who owns a local Denny’s franchise.

Rommel told the board the coming months would be spent on an extensive renovation of the former J/R’s building.

“There will be a million dollars spent on the inside and outside of the facility,” he said, adding that the age and layout of the existing building would complicate the project.

Here's a great opportunity with a terrific location. What's needed is some sharp on-site management. It has to be better than the Denny's in Fruitland, which, even though it's a high traffic area (across the street from Walmart on Route 13) and next to a hotel, seems to be lacking its care of the smaller details, like keeping the grounds looking good and the music turned down to a level that permits normal conversation at three feet.

I bet the prices are adjusted to the area. Many customers are drunk before they go to dennys at 2:00 am now they can get drunk there.

428pm come on. Prices at the Denny's in North OC are the same as others throughout Del MD and VA. Will be no different at the Route 90 bridge location. Problem is/will be parking. This location is not like North OC - anchored to a Comfort Inn, Theatre/Gold Coast mall parking lots.
