Great service and food in generous portions. I went early enough to get a table straight away but there was a long queue outside when I left - doing something right.

Very bad service. Disgusting and filthy. To start off, I received the coffee mug with lipstick and food stains… got that replaced. When I received the food… there was a hair in my potatoes… asked for a replacement that took forever… had to ask for the tab multiple times. Very bad experience.

Mini muffins are amazing! I think the secret ingredient is crack because they’re addicting!

We finished our breakfast and noticed that all the tables around us were getting complimentary mini muffins. Not sure why we were not offered them as well. Server was also not very friendly.

Picked this place out of convenience and good reviews as it was steps from our Hotel. Between our family of 4, we had french toast, pancakes, steak and eggs, bacon, sausage and a hazelnut cappuccino. Skip the flavoring on the cappuccino, the upcharge was $2 but could not taste it at all. Eggs were cold on 2/4 plates and also topped with chives. Nothing was bad but nothing was exceptional either, including the service. Saw lots of pics and reviews mentioning complimentary muffins but we wound up being the only table without them. Server didn't even mention that they were out, just looked around and saw everyone else's table full of them. A few ants spotted on our table but this seems to be a theme near the beach. Overall we were satisfied but not impressed.

Had breakfast at Chads and it was great. Do you know you have found a great spot when: 1 - it’s Friday in the off season, and 2- there’s still a line to get in. Had scrambled eggs and pancakes. Eggs were done perfectly. Pancakes were light and fluffy with just a touch of sweet. The Bloody Mary was almost a meal in itself (see the photo for the garnish). It was seasoned just right (not super hot) and the glass was rimmed with salt. And ask you waitress/waiter what kind of alcohol it’s made with (not giving away the secret here!!). Finally - enjoy the warm mini muffins with butter that everyone gets.

Loved this place so much that we went back the very next morning! Mimosa flights were fantastic and fun, and the food options were delicious and filling. Huge portions, so be aware! All staff were attentive and friendly, and be aware that on a Saturday morning, there will be a line up out front! I assure you it's worth the 20-minute wait! Everyone raved about the food options and taste! Definitely a fun spot. My ONLY complaint... music got so loud people were literally yelling at each other at other tables! Lol Other than that, it was a great spot for breakfast or lunch!
