We had high hopes for our visit, due to the positive google reviews, unfortunately, our experience left a lot to be desired.
To start on a good note, Sue the hostess was extremely friendly and gave us a warm welcome. Britney was the one who seated us. She mentioned it was “cash only,” and when I asked the rest of my party if they were okay with staying(as not everyone carries cash), she abruptly asked, “Are you staying or leaving?” and appeared visibly irritated. That first interaction set the tone for the rest of the visit.
I have celiac disease, so I asked Britney if the home fries were gluten-free. She said “yes.” I then asked if she could please inform the kitchen so they could wipe down the preparation area to avoid cross-contamination. She replied with a flat “no.” When I asked, “No? Why?” she explained, “It’s just one area to prepare the food,” but still made no effort to communicate the concern to the chef. While I understand there may be limitations in the kitchen setup, a little empathy or initiative to at least try would have been appreciated.
There were small service issues throughout—when my mom asked for a straw, Britney didn’t say anything, looked annoyed, and simply tossed them to us, which felt dismissive. One person in our group ordered an omelet that came out severely burnt— she said “it was the most burned omelet I have ever had in my life.” She only managed a couple of bites of it. All of our tables food was burnt and extremely oily. Not one person enjoyed the food.
At the end of the meal, after Brittney didn’t check back for a while I went to find her to get our check, I approached her, and she gave me a death stare and said, “I was going to bring this to you,” in a tone that came off as curt and unkind.
Suggestions for Improvement: • A bit more patience and warmth from the service staff would go a long way. • Even if there are limitations in the kitchen, showing concern for dietary needs (especially medically necessary ones) is critical. Simply passing along a message to the kitchen could help prevent someone from getting sick and shows compassion. • Communication is key—guests don’t expect perfection, but respectful and attentive interaction makes all the difference. • More attention to food quality and would greatly improve the overall experience.
We genuinely wanted to enjoy our meal here, and I hope this feedback can help the team grow and improve. We definitely will not be coming back.

This place is right on the pier with both indoor and outdoor seating. All the tables outside have umbrellas which is nice. The menu is a little on the pricey side but the food was fresh. They only give you one piece of toast with your meal and the home fries are hard in places and not fully cooked all the way, so just make sure you ask for them well done. This place is cash only and they do add extra fees if you are using a card.

Just arrived in Avalon for our Anniversary and had the best breakfast ever! Spinach mushroom and cheese omelet was amazing. Light and fresh with great home fries. Banana blueberry pancakes absolutely delicious ❤️Food was made with intention and love. Not overdone, just perfect👍
Small, good food, shore vibe.
It's a must-stop in Avalon for breakfast 🥞🍳.
