★★★★★ 5.0 Jeff Nichols · May 2025

I had coffee and six eggs over hard with 2 pancakes. Their pancakes were big but I'm a big eater. The waitress was very nice and continued to check in on us so I'm grateful. The food was delicious and I'd eat here again. Hopefully before we go back home. I'd recommend this place. Be safe and enjoy the food.

Great as always. I had the Hatteras Scramble and it was excellent 👌. Great service and the food comes out fast.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Lauren M · Sep 2025

Food was not very good. My hushpuppies and my friends blue crab chowder came out within 2 minutes after ordering. The hushpuppies and chowder were warm, not hot, and were not fresh. We ordered the fresh catch mahi blackened which was seasoned but pretty dry. The fried mahi had very little flavor and was extremely dry. The parmesan green beans were greasy with a strange textured parmesan cheese on top. The service wasn't good. The server only stopped a couple times. We will not be back.

Good breakfast and lunch place near the ferry area. Seated fast. Relaxed atmosphere. Employees friendly. Service good. Food tasty, nice portions and made fresh, good, and tasty. 10/27/22 and 10/28/22 returned for the first time in several years. The Missus had a custom cheese, onion, and pepper omelet, and well seasoned, very tasty home fries (called hash browns here). I had the lump crab (loaded with crab!) and cheese omelet both mornings. It was probably the best omelet I've ever had. Lunch served here and hours are limited to 6:30am to 11am for breakfast. Up to 2:00pm for lunch. Then dinner until 9:00pm. Lots of locals go here. Seems you can't go wrong with this super good, homecooked meal diner/cafe.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Robert Tufte, DTE · Nov 2025

The staff is cheerful and attentive. The price is inexpensive for breakfast. One of the few places that understand eggs over easy. Coffee is good. The choices of sides are grits and hash browns. I've been around for a long time and apparently they don't know the difference between hash browns and home fries. They serve burned home fries cooked with onions, burnt not browned. If I go back, I'll just have eggs and toast with sausage.
