Rayne’s Reef Luncheonette

The best burgers on the shore! Delicious ice cream treats too. The owners and staff are always friendly and the food is fresh and delicious. And you can’t beat the small town feel.

We’ve been on an East Coast road trip for a month eating our way from Bar Harbor, Maine onto this great little stop in, previously unknown to us, Berlin, Maryland. This was one of our top two locally owned eateries (neck and neck with Quicks Taqueria in Woods Hole, Massachusetts). Take the short order cooks advice and try the Chicken Cheese Steak sandwich. It was delicious. Also, the service was both quick and homey with Rachael answering any and all of our questions and serving us with a sincere and familial demeanor. You can’t go wrong here not to mention the surprisingly low prices and fantastic all American milk shakes.

Rayne’s is so cute! It is like a step back in time to the 1950s. The burgers are actually very good (I am usually not a fan) and you can build them however you want (try it with grilled onions!). I would also recommend getting a handspun milkshake!

We stopped by on our road trip. Friendly service, cute atmosphere. I wasn’t hungry when we came, but I had a small breakfast and it was good! Definitely a cool retro place. Take out the movie memorabilia, and you might as well have been in the 50s (but I really enjoyed that bit of local flavor with the movie posters, the place wouldn’t have made the same impression without!). Didn’t stay long in Berlin, but liked what I saw.

Stopped in for ice cream. Pretty simple. Very cool old building, over 100 years old. Worth the stop.

I had been wanting to come for a visit for a few years after reviews and advertisements.
The food was average. My daughter got pancakes and bacon. The bacon was really well done to the point she thought it was burnt and didn’t want to eat it.
I had an omelette with cheese, mushroom and bacon
It came with potatoes that were good but a little greasy and rye bread.
I think the good and atmosphere is a little better at the Decatur Diner.
If we do breakfast again it won’t be here.
It was just average and the menu wasn’t extensive either

ATTACK OF THE FLIES !!!
Okay, so I guess they filmed a few movies here but let’s get to the point. First off the atmosphere was really cool and that’s what drew us in. It fits the town and makes you feel like you went back in time. The food was okay. My chicken sandwich was nothing to die for but you can’t really do chicken wrong. I didn’t think you could do ham and cheese wrong either, but it was just coated with butter. Yuck and Not my taste and my stomach didn’t like it too much either. The worst part of the brunch was the flies. I spent the entire time defending my local air space from landing flies. It was kinda gross and made the experience a thumbs down. Had I noticed it before we ordered, I would have walked out but the old time soda jerk atmosphere kept me distracted long enough to not notice the dozens and dozens of flies. 5 stars for atmosphere, 3 stars for the food and a big fat zero for the Attack of the Flies !!!

Such a cute find in the «best small town in America!»
We walked in after a local pointed us to some nice eateries in downtown Berlin. The place is run by high school students, and the décor seems straight out of the 1950s. It’s a diner where lipsticked girls and striped-​polo wearing boys with slicked hair gather for milkshakes, and drive away in their big-​bumpered Cadillacs.
The milkshakes are delicious, and completely worth the price. Burgers also cooked perfectly (you can choose to add a variety of toppings and essentially build your own burger, but cheese and bacon are a surcharge). Chips come with the burger for a great $ 7.50, but you can upgrade to applesauce or fries for $ 1 or so.
Such a cute little place, with old props from when they filmed Runaway Bride and Tuck Everlasting hanging on the walls. Quick service too!

Nice little sandwich burger diner joint in the middle of the quaint downtown district. Movie poster adorns where they shot runaway bride.
no surprises with the food, i had the chicken cheesesteak. chunks of chicken as opposed to shredded chicken. good but not mind blowing.
good sized milk shake which was the highlight.
i expected the menu to have some more options but it really is just a place for basic hand held diner food.

The food is good, and they have a great staff, just an over priced menu for the location. Its more like paying to go there just because they can say Tuckeverlasting and Runaway Bride had some filming there.

Ordered a Chicken BLT and was more than enough… Lots of bacon! But when Amanda (the very nice (and beautiful) blonde who has been making shakes for 9 years) asks you if you saved room for dessert… Just say yes… The chocolate shake was amazing! The nostalgia of he place is great! Who knew Runaway Bride was filmed here?

Great food (especially the Reuben) and very pleasant staff! Very quick service and is the perfect lunch/​soda shop.

Cute place. Chicken wraps were good.
Too many flies buzzing around the place. Bathroom was out of both soap AND paper towels.

Cute little place in the town of Berlin. I also should mention that the movie Runaway Bride was filmed here. This restaurant was still advertises this. The milkshakes in this place was fantastic. Creamy and cold! I had the egg salad sandwich. I had low expectations for this sandwich, but decided to take a gamble on it anyway. I am so glad I ordered it. It beat my expectations. It was the best egg saad sandwich I have ever had. It was creamy yet spicy. It also came with a side of chips. Another added plus was the price was reasonable. The downside was the waitress wasn’t really attentive. She forgot a few things at our table, and brought it later. Overall, good, nice place, with reasonable prices.

Very tasty breakfast. Wonderful service. Not too fancy just down to the basics. Great location in Berlin Maryland. This is the type of place where everyone that walks in the door is a friend of yours. Prices are reasonable and menu is simple. I had a veggie omelette with wheat toast and home fries for 7.99 and my husband had French toast two over medium eggs and ham for $ 6.99. Stop in if you’re in Berlin Maryland next to Assateague State Park sometime.

Good service, friendly staff, and delicious food! Milkshakes are to die for.
«This is the best mint chip milkshake I’ve ever had.» –My Husband (and that says a lot. He’s had more than his fair share of mint chip milkshakes!!)

I was walking in downtown Berlin and the hometown feel made me want a milkshake. Low and behold, here was the town soda fountain and diner! From the décor to the menu, it’s definitely a place that honors that diners back in the day. You can get ice cream, milkshakes, burgers, hotdogs, floats… you name it, you got it!
I ended up with a hotdog and rootbeer float and they were great. The only thing that threw me off was the side of chips with my hot dog (not enough to deduct for, just figured I’d mention it). The server and the cook (they cook right behind the counter) were both super nice and food obviously comes pretty quick since they cook it right there!
They seem to have a lot of repeat customers and it’s easy to see why!

Burgers are quite good as are the fountain sodas and milkshakes. You can smell their grill all throughout town.
The kids seem to come by after school for a milkshake. They come in droves and get pretty loud, but it’s all part of the small town charm.

Needed a quick (and cheap) lunch on the way to do some sightseeing. We picked this restaurant because it’s just plain cute from the outside! (Corner of the streets).
Pro: Prices are good, Coleslaw was yummy! Free 2hr parking
Con: Bread was a bit dry (for burgers), tap water tasted a bit «off» (even though it’s tap)
Has a bit of a diner/​casual feel, but it seems popular with lots of locals and repeat customers… Would be kid-​friendly in my opinion.

Great little place in downtown Berlin. I was in town for a little bit and stopped in here based off Unilocal reviews. I had a chicken salad sandwich which was pretty good, maybe a tad dry, but I would get it again.
The staff here was amazing though, some of the nicest people I came across all day.
