Seems to be one of the best kept secrets around!We enjoyed everything from the service to the view and the quality of the food. The salmon salad, blackened grouper sandwich and burgers were phenomenal. We really enjoyed the grouper appetizer with the signature potato curl style fries . Lindsay was a sweet and attentive server. The deck provided a wonderful atmosphere with a gorgeous view.The parking is a little challenging. If you are staying at a resort close by, definitely walk if you can. Even if you can’t stay, grab something to go. You won’t be disappointed.

What a nice little hidden gem! The front is a grocery/package store and it opens up to a small back patio where you can enjoy breakfast or lunch right on the water. I really enjoyed this place. When they are busy service can be on the slower side, but it was worth the wait in my opinion. My husband and I both had bagel sandwiches and mimosas.

Breakfast ALL DAY and Lunch/Dinner. A simple place on the water with outdoor seating with a view of dolphins swimming every now and then. Good service. Burgers, fries, wraps, sandwiches, etc.

We came here for breakfast after it came up as the first option on Apple map search. We weren't sure at first about the place as it stated it's a deli and store, but restaurant is at the back of the store and it turned out to be the best place we had breakfast along the coast during our trip. We sat on the deck and watched the pelicans. Coffee and omelets were very good as was the service and staff, especially our server was very kind and friendly.

OK, we wanted a cuban sandwich so ended up here. The cuban was very good, but the shrimp stole the show! They were huge, fresh and the homemade tarter sauce was amazing. The kids pizza was more of a Flatbread, and I wanted to order one for myself it was that good. Great experience sitting on the back deck next to the water. You just grab whatever drinks you want from the cooler inside and they add it to your check. It's a little convenience store with a deli, and they serve you at your table. Highly recommend this place!

We have spent the last week at the Marriot next to this store/restaurant. This has been our go-to for many things… our first late dinner, our breakfast one day and our quick grabs for Tylenol and snacks. Everyone was great! Our first night, Tracy was our server for a late bite to eat (which was great). But most of all her kindness and service were top notch and was better than the service the ritzy hotel restaurants. She gave us some great tips and advice about the area and was generally informative and friendly.

Great food for decent price. Amazing service. It’s a small restaurant behind the grocery store with enough place to sit and eat. We went there for breakfast and then back for dinner later in the day. Typical diner style breakfast on menu with few other options. Lunch and dinner menu is good too. Lot of sandwiches and salad options. After dinner I forgot my credit card here and Amber was nice enough to call few hotels nearby to locate me. I didn’t realize I was missing my card until I got a message from my hotel front desk. We were there during holidays so place was not busy. There is plenty of place to sit in the back with amazing view of water.Parking: Parking can be hassle if you are planning to come down during dinner time. There are few really good restaurants nearby so parking becomes harder.

You wouldn't know it from walking by, but this place is a great spot to eat! Staff is always super friendly, and acknowledge you right away. While in a small grocery store, the view from the deck makes any meal peaceful. I was scared to give this such a good review because I'm a local and this is a go-to spot.

Cool little spot with a small grocery store in the front. Food was good, came out fast, and the service was great. You can sit on the back deck and look over the water.
