“This is a friendly locals place serving breakfast comfort foods you enjoyed growing up if you grew up in this area. It's no frills and therefore very reasonably priced. LOTS of tradesmen stop in for breakfast and lunch as they start the day given there's a builder's lumber and hardware store nearby. The food is fresh (the fries are home made, not frozen). The biscuits are some of the best I've had. Only shortfall is there's no restroom inside (have to use the convenience store that's adjacent). Small detriment, though, as the food is worth that slight inconvenience.

Will be back. Loved the biscuits and gravy!“

“I cannot say enough good things about BBB Inlet Beach. The food is incredible as well as the service . We had never been until our visit over the past week in Sunnyside.

“Wow! We've lived in the area for 16 years, and Ovide at thr Hotel Effie opened 6 years ago, and this is our first visit. We had Brunch, homemade Pasta, homemade pancakes, etc. The restaurant was super clean, with a very calm atmosphere. The food was superb, and our server, Ashley, was delightful. We'll definitely be back!“
