We love to go to this restaurant and get she crab soup to bring back to Atlanta with us. The restaurant itself is a bit crowded and famous for their breakfast (although I didn't think it was that great.) What they don't accomplish with their eclectic breakfast menu they make up for with their soup. The soup does come with... More

Went there on on Kentucky Derby day and all the servers had there derby hats on. Breakfast is always great and served quickly. Everyone works as a team so you never have to wait long for a coffee refill. We will sometimes eat outside when it's slower and bring our dogs. Very dog friendly.

A small diner type restaurant with delicious options. My crabcake benedict was amazing! The kids enjoyed one of the many options at a reasonable price.

I totally agree with the previous reviewer. This is a highly rated breakfast spot, but we were not impressed at all. We had a burrito. It was nothing special. We also had biscuits and gravy and found them to be about the same quality our Comfort Inn served in their free breakfast in the morning. The setting outside was nice,... More

My wife and I had breakfast here on an early Sunday morning. I don't really understand why this is so highly rated. Don't get me wrong, everything was fine. My wife had an omelet and I had their low carb scramble. Nothing special. Service was attentive, food came fast, all was good. Setting was casual and laid back so that... More

Best breakfast on the island hands down.... no argument. Everything is fantastic and the service is efficient and most always friendly. They also have some great lunch items including, ironically, a fantastic homemade pate plate that is killer. Anyways your looking for a great breakfast or brunch, this is it.

Stopped in for breakfast. I Had french toast and husband had shrimp hash just for something new. He wasnt sure shrimp is for breakfast but says the shrimp were succulent. Service was wonderful. Wait staff didn't seem to be focused solely on their tables. We had maybe half a dozen staff simply ask if everthing was ok in passing. Never... More

A must eat and chat venue for locals and Hilton Head vacationers. Get there early. Super traditional breakfasts + daily features. Friendly and efficient wait staff and "open" view of the hectic, short order grill team. Great applewood links...and, on special occasions, order up a Mimosa or Bloody Mary.

Friends traveling with us enjoy breakfast out nearly every day...we all enjoyed our selections. My eggs were drop-poached to perfection...my only disappointment was "no gluten-free bread-type" choices, but a substitution of sliced tomatoes was made without any extra charge. Service with a Sun Rise Smile!!!

Had a couple of very good breakfasts here during our stay. This was a return visit and it didn't disappoint us. Service and food were great.
