- Amy GrillAugust 25, 2013Delicious and adorable. Exactly what you want out of a beachy breakfast spot. Potatoes are perfectly cooked, omelette is light if a little thin, toast buttered, & biscuits and gravy are spicy!
Arielle LysacekSeptember 7, 2019We sat at the bar and everything that came out of the kitchen looked amazing! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was delish!! Definitely go back if ever in town again.
Keith BlodornJune 16, 2021No cans were opened to make the corned beef hash - that’s real chunks of tender corned beef and real potatoes! Best I’ve had!- Gyozo NagyMarch 28, 2016French toast was perfect and the waffle was delicious. I liked this place a lot.
- Nikolay The PandaApril 8, 2013Omelette with everything and avocado and homemade-style biscuit. Egg is thin, but it works well.
- Nikolay The PandaApril 8, 2013The eggs Benedict are definitely recommended. When he comes by and tell you that it doesn't need seasoning--listen to the man.
The new owner, Rick, is incredible. Great conversationalist from behind the counter. Get to know him!
Jessica OberlinMarch 26, 2012Excellent food with superior hospitable accommodating service! Such a treat ;)
Jason LottFebruary 14, 2014Never substitute anything on the menu. $3.19 for substituting breakfast meat for an additional egg. These folks are insane. THINK before you charge yourself out of business. I will not return.
Ashley SimmonsAugust 29, 2011Don't piss of the waitress/owner...i'm not sure she understands we don't HAVE to eat there.
Justin VegaApril 28, 2013Service is REALLY slow. If you decide to come in be prepared to wait for your food.
