Colonial Cafe is a long-standing, unpretentious establishment known for its breakfast offerings. The restaurant's home fries have received consistent praise, along with the biscuits, sausage gravy, and shrimp and grits. The Dirty Bird and the $8 breakfast, featuring eggs, sausage, toast, and home fries, are particular standouts. The service is friendly, with welcoming and helpful staff, and the atmosphere feels down-home in the heart of Elizabeth City, full of charm. The menu is stocked full of southern comfort food, and the coffee and southern sweet tea are excellent. Many visitors have praised the friendly servers Callie and Brian, who always provide excellent service. The Dirty Bird breakfast, which includes a crispy chicken filet on top of a biscuit with cheese, topped with sausage gravy and served with fried potatoes, is highly recommended for its delicious flavor. Colonial Cafe remains a great option for a solid and reasonably priced breakfast or lunch in a welcoming environment, perfect for a quick stop on the way home from the Outer Banks. You will not go away hungry.
