The griddle was absolutely caked with old food and it even got in the pancakes. My family and I left upset and hungry. Seasoning is usually oil on cast iron, not old food that someone didn’t clean up from the previous customer. & you’re very welcome! But that is a butter knife.

Been here a handful of times and I always forget to take pictures of my foods. ☺️☺️ Never had any issues with the food and service! I order the Okeechobee ice cream (biscuits and gravy with sunny side up eggs) and a side of fried green tomatoes. Hubby ordered citrus waffles and chicken. Kids ordered the Mickey Mouse pancakes. DELICIOUSLY good!!

Amazing breakfast! Fruit cup was so fresh, and coffee was delicious. Great service too.

Went there for lunch and LOVED it. Eclectic décor which makes this places stand out from all the chains or boring mom and pop places, the food was excellent as well and the prices are very reasonable. As i am reading the Google reviews, i realise i have to come back asap with my family for breakfast! Definitely recommend it

Any gluten free options?

Hermione Phillips | Feb 1, 2022
R Heath | Feb 1, 2022

Yes, there is. But if you are one of those that treat gluten free like a vegan, them this place isn't for you. These guys are awesome and work hard. They don't know a bad review that someone's gluten free bread is toasted the same way regular bread is.

They do not accept reservations, but it is definitely worth the wait. We try to get there early and we ALWAYS wait for a griddle table. Last time, we put our name on the list and went across to the Barber and it was pretty perfect timing. If you are going to do that, just tell the girl who is calling out names so they don't mark you off the list, but could maybe skip over you and keep your spot in line. It's 4 hours from here, but we went an hour in the opposite direction from a couple of weeks ago when we stayed in Cocoa then back up to Savannah. I already miss it 😥

If you are trying to sit at a griddle table, no we do not have a single table that will fit you all. We would have to break you up. Heads up the wait for more than twelve will probably be a good minute. Thanks.

Do they take reservations or call aheads?

Ash Oberg | Sep 30, 2017
Nicole Price | Sep 30, 2017

No. It is first come first serve. If you want to sit at a table with a griddle, you sign in when you get there. If you want to sit at the counter or a two top by the kitchen, you can take whatever is available at that time (there are no griddle at these seats).

Are the grills open for pancakes all day

Scott Tripp | Sep 30, 2017
Britini Sombke | Sep 30, 2017

Yes (if they're available), but you need to get a table with a griddle. They should ask you if you want a griddle table before seating you.
