We found this gem on our way from Panama City Beach to VPS airport. This might be the best breakfast I’ve ever had. Big portions for a good price. I highly recommend.

The food at Blue Collar Café is still great, but the service has continued to decline. It’s terrible. We watched multiple tables get up and walk out because no one ever came to take their drink order. We even had to get up and get our own drinks multiple times we’ve been here (which is fine if that’s how it’s suppose to be) because no server ever checked on us. Once they drop off your food, you never see them again — no refills, no follow-up, nothing. Really disappointing to see the service go so far downhill when the kitchen is still putting out excellent food.

Very disappointing on a Thursday. We used to go here all the time. Seems like it is falling apart. Less than 1/3 of the tables were occupied yet we waited 30 minutes after ordering and our food still wasn’t out. So we had to leave. They didn’t even have it ready enough for us to take it to go. Not sure if we’ll be back, and certainly not any time soon.

Nice little place. Took along time to be waited on. So if you in a rush it might take 45 minutes until you eat.

We stumbled across Blue Collar Café on Google Maps and decided to give it a try for breakfast. Parking was a little frustrating since there aren’t many spots, but honestly, that felt like a good sign — the lot was full, and the place was packed.

As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and quickly seated at a freshly cleaned table. Service from start to finish was excellent — the ladies working were attentive, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly even with the morning rush.

For drinks, my wife ordered a mimosa while I went with a fountain drink. The mimosa leaned heavily on the champagne with almost no juice, so it lacked balance. Not necessarily a dealbreaker — if anything, it was strong — but worth noting for those expecting a more traditional blend.

For food, I ordered the Country Ham Platter, which came with two eggs (I added a third with cheddar cheese), home fries, and toast. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the home fries… easily some of the best I’ve ever had. I also added a side of maple candied bacon, and all I can say is DELI SHOES (delicious). The only downside — and unfortunately a big one — was finding a very long hair in my potatoes. That instantly killed my appetite, which was disappointing since everything tasted so good up until then.

My wife ordered the B.O.B. (Breakfast on a Bagel), and while she couldn’t finish it, she passed me the other half once I stopped eating mine. Once again — DELI SHOES. The bacon made it, and the bagel seemed freshly baked. It was a touch underdone and doughy, but overall, still really tasty.

Despite the one major hiccup, I do believe the hair was just an accident and not reflective of their usual standards. Because of that, I’m giving this visit 4 out of 5 stars. The food was genuinely delicious, the service was great, and I’d absolutely recommend Blue Collar Café to friends and family. We’ll definitely be back to give it another shot — hopefully next time everything lines up perfectly.

We unfortuneatly had the BAD, BAD waitress.
One waitress was tall and the other were not.
Our waitress did not have pink hair.

The tall waitress was on it and looked as if she cared ...on the other hand...
THE SHORTER BRUNETTE WAITRESS that we unfortuneatly had...cared much more about the tea and coffee thermoses and putting up chairs than for her dining customers. She NEVER returned to our table after serving AND did not bring out our PAID FOR take out dessert which we never got.

It is NO WONDER that there is a help wanted notice on the door.

THE PLACE IS COOL...HAS LARGE PORTIONS AND GREAT PASTRIES...
Food is good.

BE SURE to ask for the TALL waitress...

If you can't get her... ask for the manager upon being seated and have the manager check on you during your meal.

When we were there it was not busy at all.

Perhaps our waitress was having a bad day although she seemed friendly, in a good mood and nice.

This is being NICE in NICEVILLE after a Bad Dining experience.

We used to absolutely love coming here every Sunday. We looked forward to the delicious food (which is still fantastic) and the sweet service.

Not sure what’s been going on, but the service is absolutely terrible! You’ll have one person seat you, another to finally come by with menus, one to get the drinks and maybe one of the same ones to put your food order in with. Once you get your food, no one comes to check on you. You don’t get refills, we had to go get our own multiple times. The service just isn’t it anymore. There used to be an older lady out and about on the floor keeping all the servers in check (we miss her).
