A recent breakfast, which used to be one of my favorite meals, came swimming in grease/butter. I got fish and chips to go and the batter literally slid off the fish, it was so greasy.... More

This is a local restaurant that serves very good food and one of my favorites. It's not fancy but clean with an older Western theme inside and old photos of the area.

This is a great place for burgers and fries. Good shakes and frosties too. If you are at the beach it is just across the street. Outdoor setting with a good view of the ocean.

Service was just OK. Not sure I'd the waiting staff are students. In any case, service could have been more attentive.

Nice little diner with a great patio, but breakfast food was lacking. Had biscuits and gravy with eggs. Biscuits were dry and gravy was watery bland taste. Dollar pancakes were larger than expected and were good. Downfall was syrup was ice cold. I may try lunch sometime, but they do not show any pride in serving breakfast.
