This location is excellent for breakfast and brunch visits (they also offer lunch, but I’ve never eaten lunch here). I ordered a simple stack of pancakes, and they were nice. Other members of my party ordered French toast and the HamHash, which was the special for the day. Each thought the food was excellent, especially the French toast. We did wait about 20mins for this visit on a late Sunday morning after church around 10:30. Every other time I’ve visited, there hasn’t been a wait to sit down. Customer service was excellent, as the head cook came out and greeted customers a time or two. Overall, a great experience. I would highly recommend visiting sometime for a brunch with a few friends or family. Visited in October of 2025

I can not say enough good things about this wonderful restaurant. This is my favorite breakfast place in town. The service is phenomenal and the atmosphere is just right clean and well lit. Can we talk about good food ? The peach cobbler French toast is amazing. The biscuits and gravy are to die for. The ham omelette has chunks of real ham. This place is very much with your time. I have been several times for breakfast. I will definitely be back to try lunch in the future

We went here after the airport so our first stop in Gulf Shores. Loved it! I had the peach French toast and my husband had the blue plate special. Super kind waitress and other friendly patrons. The prices can’t be beat either.
