We love it here. We come, about once a month, usually following our Turtle Patrol session. The food is great, the atmosphere is great. Very accessible location. The highlight is AnnMarie--always smiling, such positivity. She's pretty good at remembering some of our 'usual' orders, but we do throw in a few curve balls.Earlier this week, one of the specials was a Canadian Bacon Omelet with pineapple -- both of my teammates enjoyed it, and made sure to let the owner know on our way out. :)

Had the corned beef frittata and can't stop thinking about it. One of the tastiest things I've ever eaten - even better the 2nd day heated in a microwave. The potatoes are a bit odd but I find myself wanting them again too.

Well today’s second visit is a reminder that I needed to write a review. My second time having Ann Marie as our server and its still 5+ star service she delivers. She is so friendly and attentive.The first tine I visited was because of my Get Upside APP offered 6% off. I didnt tell my bf thats where we were going. Well when we pulled up , He said “ oh this place? me and the neighbors came after a race and service stunk” Well our visit together with our grand daughter changed that . Ann Marie was our server, She was excellent and what we thought were going to be pricey loaded Bloody Marys were delicious and affordable. We enjoyed our breakfast very much.Todays visit was no exception, I was so happy to get Ann Marie again. I got the usual sausage n gravy biscuits n a side of fruit and my daughter got the whiskey bacon benedict and their special hash browns . She loved her breakfast and the sweet tea was great and Ann Marie kept them refilled.Will definitely be back and Im signed up for their rewards program .

Our party of five enjoyed a delicious meal at Blu’ Island Bistro. The service was amazing. Our entrees included avocado toast, fish tacos, omelettes and whiskey bacon. The food came out FAST! The server was super friendly as was the host.
