The waitress recommended the chicken and waffles as they hand bread the chicken breasts and fry them in strips. Unbelievably delayed (maybe best chicken strips ever) but added to the thick, dense waffle and maple syrup?!? WOW The portion was massive so I now have lunch to eat later too. I also must mention the vibe was chill and friendly (no cranky early morning people here!) And the food came super fast. Plenty of time to eat and get to work!

The menu is extensive with plenty of choices for everyone. I ordered an omelet with bacon, onions, peppers, and feta cheese, along with grits and one of their homemade biscuits. Let me tell you--that biscuit with butter and honey was heavenly! The grits were perfectly cooked and delicious whether you like them savory or sweet. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the experience was everything I hoped for. If you're looking for a great breakfast spot, do yourself a favor and stop by Southern Charm Cafe. You will not be disappointed!

My bf and I are staying next door to this restaurant and decided to try it this morning. It seems…read morelike a cute home turned restaurant. Surprisingly a lot of seating indoors and a few tables outdoor. We ordered it for pickup and it was ready within 20 min. The food was decent, but the service was horrible when we picked up our order. We were standing at the door for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us and they definitely saw us. I asked for ketchup and hot sauce to go and the girl gave me little cups and said "they're over there on the table you can grab it." No ketchup packets or anything? We are visiting and don't have condiments at our Airbnb. The servers were all dismissive. Rude service, we definitely won't be back. Steak&eggs: (2/5) We ordered MEDIUM and the steak came out hard and overly well done. Disappointment for the price of the tiny piece of steak. Omelette: (4/5) This was pretty good. Nice portion. The breakfast potatoes were delicious. Sourdough toast: (4/5) Huge slices of bread and it was very tasty.

Everyone is right, don't let the looks misguide you. Just give it a try! Their blueberry and chocolate chip pancake was incredible.

Food took a while to come out but we weren't in any rush so we didn't mind. We would totally come back next time we are in town and will let friends know to stop here when they visit!

My wife and I went there for the first time today and I have to say, we were impressed. The owner, Joanne sat us at our table then quickly introduced herself. Our server was also very friendly, and quick to offer some advice on what to order when we asked. Upon her recommendation we both ordered the country fried steak with a biscuit and gravy. The country fried steak was absolutely delicious, as was the rest of the food. It has that small town, home cooked flavor. Everything made from scratch, nothing premade or frozen. We were both very happy with our food. I'm not sure why we never stopped in before, but we'll definitely come back again.

We grabbed seats at the bar, and right out of the gate the experience was mission-ready. The girls behind the bar were awesome, friendly, attentive, and just had that effortless vibe that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. Now the food... wow. Everything came out fresh, hot, and absolutely dialed in. The burgers were stacked and juicy, the sandwiches loaded, and those sidewinder fries? Forget it. Crispy, golden perfection. You can tell nothing sat under a heat lamp, this was all cooked to order and launched straight to the table. Best way I can describe it given the location... This wasn't just good food, it was a full-on flavor liftoff. Like sitting a few miles from Cape Canaveral and watching a rocket punch through the atmosphere, everything about this meal just took off and didn't look back. Great people, killer food, laid-back atmosphere... this place hits on all cylinders. We'll definitely be back for another launch

When we arrived, we did notice the outside could use a little TLC, but once inside, it was very clean and tidy. We were immediately greeted by both the hostess and bartender, and they were very friendly. We were seated right away and our drink orders were taken quickly. It took us a few minutes to go through the menu since we weren't familiar with the restaurant, and there are quite a few items to choose from. We ordered the "Crack Mac Snack" (macaroni and cheese) and added pulled pork and the biscuit bread. The food came out quickly, and we were not disappointed. The biscuit bread was absolutely amazing, rich, soft, and delicious (maybe a little too generous with the butter on top, but still delicious). It's a thick, hearty piece, about two inches high and roughly four inches square. The mac and cheese was a generous portion and easily enough to share, and it was really good. The homemade BBQ sauce was also a highlight. The only slight miss was my husband's Coke, which wasn't very sweet, possibly a calibration issue with the machine. Overall, this is definitely a spot worth trying if you're in Cocoa Beach and want something different. There's a lot on the menu, and we'll definitely be back.

I've eaten at a lot of restaurants in my life, but nothing compares to the experience we had. Yes,…read morethe food was phenomenal. Yes, the ambiance was perfect. But let's be honest: this place runs on one thing and one thing only, Josh. From the moment we sat down, Josh didn't just "serve" our table. He orchestrated it. The man moves like a hospitality ninja. Water glasses never dropped below the halfway mark. Empty plates disappeared as if teleported. He anticipated our needs before we even knew we had them. At one point, I casually considered ordering another drink, and somehow Josh was already walking toward the table with it. Telepathy? Probably. When we asked for recommendations, he didn't just list menu items, he delivered a passionate, Oscar-worthy monologue about flavor profiles, textures, and life-changing sauces. We ordered exactly what he suggested, and I'm convinced my taste buds ascended to a higher plane. If Josh told me to try something I've sworn I'd never eat, I'd trust him without hesitation. The food itself? Incredible. Perfectly cooked, beautifully plated, and clearly crafted with care. But somehow it all tasted better because Josh brought it to the table. I'm not saying he seasoned it personally... but I'm also not ruling it out. He handled a packed dining room with the calm confidence of someone who was born for this. Other servers were great but it was hard to notice anyone else while witnessing Josh in his element. It felt less like dinner and more like watching a masterclass in hospitality. By the end of the night, we weren't just satisfied customers, we were Josh fans. If this restaurant has any sense, they'll put his face on the menu, the sign, maybe even the building. Five stars for the food. Five stars for the atmosphere. Ten stars for Josh. We'll absolutely be back, mostly to see Josh.
