For a small restaurant, this place is surprisingly busy. Food is very good, however you can tell the wait staff is stretched far too thin. Good restaurant if you are looking for a nice breakfast stop
September 2025
The hostess was not friendly and uninterested. She kept scrolling on her phone with audio playing out-loud and wouldn’t greet guests; she’d simply walk off without saying anything expecting guests to follow her. The server was nice and friendly overall. Wait time for two was at least 40 minutes despite not being busy. The food was good and had good quantity. The water was not good and tasted like chemicals. Overall, 3/5.

This is our go to spot whenever we come to corolla! 2 years in a row and my boyfriend and I are hoping to make this place a tradition!

Corn beef hash was deliciously cooked, perfectly crispy and just the perfect comfort food. Crab cake benedict was absolutely to die for! Crab cakes were everything you’d want in a crab cake- no shells, very meaty and not a ton of filler. Truly phenomenal. Home fries are always crispy and hot!

I try to convince...
