17 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Saint James

“Unbelievable breakfast. It’s a must!“

“I can not believe that this restaurant has been here on Main Street in Port Jefferson Village for over 20 years and I never ate there!!! This is my new Favorite place to eat. The food was exceptional and good size portions. The pita bread they put out on the table was so delicious I could have made that my meal. The service was extremely attentive and so personable. The Owner came around greeting everyone and made us feel like we were all family having dinner together. I am looking forward to my next visit.“

“Been good since the restaurant was across the street. Fabulous.“

“Breakfast is our favorite meal and we eat out every morning. Due to an early morning doctor appointment, we bumped into Buttermilk’s Kitchen. Great vibe as soon as you walk in….friendly and cheerful staff, nice decor, immediate service. I had the “The ‘Ol Barnyard”…..the sausage gravy was excellent with big chunks of sausage and super flavorful…..probably the best I’ve had here in NY and most of the South!!! The bacon was high quality and very tasty. My perfect over easy eggs were so fresh (yes, I can taste the freshness and quality just by having a bite of the whites!). My husband had a “Create Your Own Omelette” and declared that is was a “work of art” (I was offended because I make a darn good omelette and he never said that to me!) We were concerned about the “hash browns” because that usually means just cubed and fried potatoes, so we were very pleasantly surprised at the delicious shredded and seasoned, crispy but soft hash browns. Our regular coffee was good and hot, and they offer several “craft” coffee options. The Banana Foster French toast looked delectable! The lunch menu looks good, as well. We’ll definitely be back.“

“What a find! When a little snow scares off lesser cafes from opening, Hometown pulls up the slack. Old school rugged mindsets and hearty meals for more than reasonable prices.I'm glad my usual breakfast stop was closed, Hometown is my new favorite!Eggs bacon toast and coffee done right. Came out fast after ordering. You cant go wrong.Fabulous service. I noted everyone knew customers names as they entered. That is a great sign. It was like being at an aunts home or at Grandma's.Cozy place with a fireplace going too!Forget the diners, hometown is the perfect stop.“

“I really liked the shrimp and grits here. It's decently cheesy, and has a good amount of shrimp in it. The rye bread I got was pretty decent; nothing too amazing, but I think it worked well with the grits I got.

Overall, happy to go again! Their menu is pretty big, so I think there are many things to try, like the chicken and waffles.“

“Literally the only deli in Kings Park, Smithtown, and Commack that has consistently given me a great Bacon Egg and Cheese for the last 5 years. With shrinkflation every nearby deli has given me nothing short of a pathetic meal. Not the Bagel King in KP though! Thanks ?“

“I've been to Toast, Port Jefferson Ststion, 3 x already and each time am so glad to bring friends to enjoy their first Toast dining experience. Everyone I've brought raved about the food & service and are looking forward to returning.“

“Its ihop, it was better than it used to be

My son and neice and my mother liked it

It also nice to know if I'm away i could get breakfast and it will be good but around where i live there are better options for after 10: but before 10 there are so many 7 options that jit a good value“

“I hadn't been to an IHOP in over a decade and never one back home on Long Island. I went with my eldest son to this one at his request (his first time at this location, too) and had a clean restaurant, friendly staff and excellent breakfast food. Definitely a pleasant experience - and funny thing... Even the to go container for the food I couldn't finish was top shelf! Honestly, it was better than a container I got from a $500 per person meal at a steak house!

I'll go back there again when I visit. Well done, IHOP!“

“Great breakfast and their coffee is exceptional! Everyone is so nice and they are on their toes, it was busy and I didn't wait long at all. I will be back. I went to the one in Sayville, NY.“

“I visited IHOP about 2-3 days ago and had a great experience! Our server, Litzy, was so kind and attentive throughout the meal. She made sure everything was just right and provided excellent service with a warm attitude. Really appreciated her hospitality—thank you, Litzy!“

“Excellent selection of quality foods.Sandwiches and Eggs all day!!! Great homemade iced tea and brownies. It is immediately obvious upon entering why they've been open so long. Quality and cleanliness are paramount to a successful food service business and they know it. Delis come and go,but this place is staying. Practically a historical landmark.“

“Best authentic Mexican food I had in a while! But beware, the place is a mess! Ceiling leaks, no bathroom, doesn't look very clean and there is complete disorganization all over. I looked past all that and I experienced one of the best tacos I have had in forever. Love the honesty of the place, the food quality and preparation. The price is fair, the beer is cold! I will go back any time.“

“I am a non traditional returning student and I have to say that some of these posts knocking the quality of the food or the cleanliness of the dining areas are just ridiculous. Also the students complaining about the prices apparently have never eaten food in a restaurant before at least not where they were paying because I challenge you to get lunch which includes an entree, drink, and a snack for after for less than the $13 avg it has cost me to do so on campus. Sure the food is not five star dining but who expects it to be. All of the variety of locations I have eaten in have been tasty. Maybe if you are looking for insta worthy meals go off campus.“

“I ordered online to pick up and my service dropped so I called back. The same gentleman answered and was very nice and patient, took my order and I forgot to ask for salt, pepper and ketchup on my egg sandwich and he kindly asked if I wanted to add it so kudos for the attention to detail. I arrived and parking is sufficient and it’s right off the main road so it’s easy to access. The Chinese lady greeted me at the counter and was genuinely nice and warm toned and asked if I was there for pick up. My breakfast was ready and she rung me up for $6 and offered me a free coffee which I declined. They sue take debit with a $5 minimum and they use a modern payment device so no pin is needed if you don’t mind that and paying is instant so no waiting on that end either, I was in and out in less then 3 min. The place had a decent amount of seating and was very clean and the customers seemed to be enjoying themselves. This place is a winner and sets the bar high for the other establishments in the area. I ordered an everything bagel with 2 fried eggs, sausage and pepper jack cheese (my only critique would be that they did put a very thin slice of cheese I would have liked to taste more of it) and it was delicious. Thanks again Bagel Express I will be back!!**** I wanted to mention I did NOT get napkins so not a big deal most places throw a few in the bag so I have been spoiled, just a note to management ****“

“Crepes were good, bathrooms gross, smells like mold, could barely breathe.“
