This Iconic Breakfast Spot Was Built With Barns From Up And Down The East Coast And Brought To Maryland

Breakfast: It’s the most important meal of the day, especially when you’ve spent the entirety of the day before out and about in Ocean City, Maryland’s most famous beach town. And the most popular spot to grab breakfast in Ocean City just so happens to have a pretty fascinating bit of history behind it. Barn34, an eclectic landmark out on Coastal Highway, has been serving up Maryland’s favorite vacation diner food for just over ten years, and they’ve been doing so out of a building that was pieced together with other buildings gathered from up and down the coast. If you haven’t been yet, Barn34 should be on the top of your list for your next trip “downy ocean”.

Barn34 was built using pieces of other barns from up and down the east coast. The exterior is a striking feature on Coastal Highway - a shock of country flare sparking in the seaside atmosphere.

The upstairs dining area is spacious and rustic, and very comforting. You couldn’t ask for a better spot to pop in and have some breakfast after a full day at the beach.

Bloody Marys are the quintessential brunch cocktail, and Barn34 is proud of theirs for good reason. There’s no quicker way for vacation to feel like vacation than ordering one of these.

The Eggs Benedict is among the most popular meals Barn34 dishes out. Although, if you’re feeling more on the whimsical side…

…They offer some spectacularly-decorated pancakes that bring a bit of fun to grey ocean mornings.

Of course, Barn34 is more than just a breakfast barn. The soft-shell crab sandwich is a delightfully crunchy and satisfying offering for any time of day.
