Possibly the best dine-in breakfast restaurant in the county! My family and friends love this place. The food has always been amazing, and the same goes for the service.

They can be busy at times, but it's worth the wait. I've never had to wait for a table, but I've seen others that have been while I was leaving. Food wait times seem longer when they're packed, but that's to be expected, and it's nothing unreasonable.

If you need anything, ask your server. They've been extremely accommodating and friendly in the past.

Indoor-only seating in the winter makes things seem slightly cramped. If I had a magic wish, it would be to gift them a larger building.
I cannot wait to try breakfast in their outdoor seating area in a few months!

Keep up the good work, Lighthouse Cafe!

Lighthouse cafe never disappoints. Classic breakfast diner fare. Fluffy pancakes and perfectly cooked eggs. Can get busy during peak tourism months but definitely worth the waits!

This place came highly recommended from our friends and family. The recommendation was spot on.

We arrived at 830, were able to get a seat immediately. The place is clean and runs efficiently. We ordered the biskets and gravy, and the Philly steak omelet. Our food came out hot and fast, lots of flavor. Our coffee cups were refilled regularly. The staff is all very attentive to everyone. The place was incredibly busy with a wait before we were done but the staff never made us feel rushed. What a beautiful little gem. Will definitely be a stop anytime we are in the area!

Had an amazing time at Lighthouse Cafe! It was busy and there was a bit of a wait, but super reasonable for brunch time on a sunny weekend day and the food was well worth the wait as the staff were all clearly busy and the kitchen was working hard to make quality food! The only negatives of the experience were that I only have 1 stomach and the two entitled jerks sitting next to us who yelled at the hostess about how long their food was taking and then left, but we were happy to see them go! Can't wait to come back again!

Great service even when it was a busy Sunday brunch time. Worth the wait, delicious brunch stuff and all of our table of 4 cleaned our plates of every bite. Love the small town vibes and that they recognize regulars. We will be back on our next trip!

I absolutely love it here! It can definitely get busy, so use your big-kid brains to plan ahead because it is always well worth the wait!! Today the dining room was completely full, as busy as it could get, but the servers were all calm, cool, and collected, checking in with love and attention regularly to make sure we had everything we could want! 6/5 stars ❤️
