15 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Saint Johns

“Maria was our waitress and she was very kind. She was sweet and the food was great. Love the fluffy pancakes. She even brought out an extra plate without asking.“

“The food and service were good but to charge $1.75 for a few ounces of milk to go with a $4 cup of coffee is a little desperate and classless. That extra charge is like "the straw that broke the camel's back". Calculate the loss in repeat business vs. that charge. Doesn't add up. Something for management to think about.“

“Love this place. It’s clean & all the employees are friendly and accomodating. Keep it up!“

“One word...WAFFLES! They have the best waffles! As well as potatoes and pancakes. I also like the outdoor dining option so I can bring my little guy. Service is always friendly and fast.“

“1st time here. very pleasantly surprised. Clean. Good food. Great customer service. Definitely recommend.“

“If you want a great meal cooked by some excellent chef’s with top notch services personnel then you found the right place. It’s like having your family taking care of you.“

“I know this isn't a local joint, but it was late and local options were slim at the time. I wanted to send a shout out to Waffle House on Baymeadows Road in Jacksonville for an excellent experience last night. We walked in for a late dinner at 10 minute to 9. They were packed and short staffed. We grabbed the only open table and the shift leader (manager?), who was also cooking, brought our drinks and took our order, advising that it may be a wait. While we were there, 4 staff members that had been called in to help showed up and went right to work. They were a well oiled machine, continually checking on all of the tables, apologizing for the wait, and thanking everyone for their patience. We got our food and left within an hour. If we had gone to the IHOP 2 doors down, we would have still been waiting for our food (even in the best of times.) I know times are tough for the service industry right now, but these ladies and gentlemen handled it with grace and efficiency. I tipped 50% of the bill, and would have done much more if I could have.“

“Everyone raved about this place and the food and I can see why the food was amazing and the people were nice“

“These people work HARD. It's not fancy but it's friendly and consistent. They greet us by name and remember what we order. We go about 2-3 times a week.“

“Everything was so delicious! Especially that sweet and tangy bacon! 😋“

“Always great food and service! Always gotta pick up a pound of Dark Bark coffee, our favorite.

Update: really liked the 5 and Dime tacos. I think the place really needs to do something about it acoustics, loud and echos. Still great food!!!“

“Stopped here during a 7 hour drive for a quick bite and the food was great and the staff was so kind! 10/10 experience. The manager found out we were on a road trip and couldn’t have been more hospitable - gave us cinnamon biscuits and coffee for the road. It’s breakfast food - the bowl I got was healthy and nourishing!“

“I went to First Watch for breakfast today. There was no wait which was great. The server we had was very pleasant and attentive. I ordered a Belgian waffle, orange juice and coffee. The sever does leave the pot of coffee on the table which is nice. The waffle was good but not quite done in the middle. A bottle of warm syrup is given to you also. The negative to First Watch is the chairs are horrible to sit in. They are straight back and hard. I have to assume they are this way so you do not stay long. Eat and leave! I would recommend because the food was good and the service was excellent.“

“First, I would like to apologize to my waitress. She had to deal with a table in our section that was full of Karens. You could tell that she wasn't having the best day but she did everything she could to please those people and they still managed to complain to the manager and get a free meal. We hope that he day got better. Second, the food was good. I had the classic and it was delicious. I be going there again soon!“

“Last time I was at an IHOP, a roach decided to join me on top of the table (in Charlotte, NC) so I left immediately but I decided to give it a try again and I'm in awe. Forgot to take a photo cuz it was so delicious. Had sirloin tips with fries (golden and crispy, 😋) and green beans. I was not disappointed. Thank you IHOP, I will definitely be back.“
