This place was the highlight of my trip to AC this holiday lol. Great food. Good prices. Nice view of boats and boathouses right on the water. Didn't really care for the telling of the next table(s) to be seated. I had the crab omelette, grits, English muffin (I know I know), apple juice, and a fresh fruit cup. Delicious. And yes, they used real jumbo lump crab meat.

Awesome place for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Usually a wait but so worth the wait. Great location by the water! Really great hot cakes and blueberries hot cakes! Cute and small, worth the ride if your in AC.

We ate here three times in a week - they're that good.

Pancake people - The blueberry pancakes are legit out of this world good. I can't even put to words how perfect they are. Thin and almost crepe-like, bursting with blueberry flavor, and actually complemented by the provided syrup on the table - not overpowered by it. I got them twice because I just couldn't get over how incredibly amazing they were.

Omelet people - Their omelets are AWESOME. Fat and full of yumminess. I got a farmer's omelet with provelone and then added ham and it was incredible. Thick and full of veggies, cheese, and ham, it did not disappoint. The homefries that come with it are full on chunks of potato and they are cooked perfectly. The first day that we were there they had a crab omelet on special which my fiance ordered. It had an impressive amount of crab in it and truly tasted like a crab omelet. Super yummy!

I can't speak to their lunch as I didn't have it, but my sister had their chicken fingers and fries and was equally impressed. Service is friendly and SUPER fast. Sit out on the deck - you won't regret it!

I chose Gilchrist due to its great location and recommendation from charter captain. I ordered breakfast for twenty to take away on boat, and made reservation for 14 people over phone and verified location day before for 12:00 when boat returned. The food for breakfast was bland at best, and when we returned for lunch at 12:00 no table was ready for our party. When I asked owner why table I had called about months ago and had confirmed in person the day before and that morning, she was indignant and said that we should wait....and she got annoyed when 15...20....25 minutes passed and older and younger family members were out in.sun and were looking for shade. Lunch was lowpoint of our family celebration of 80th birthday, and I wish I had worked with other restaurant in area. Shame that such mediocre food and disagreeable people occupy a prime location on the bay.
