My wife and I met another couple for a late breakfast on a Sunday morning. Needless to say, it was…read morecrowded and we had to wait 15 minutes for a table. Nice ambiance and very friendly staff. I ordered the full stack of French toast with bananas, strawberries, and blueberries, and a side of sausage links. My wife had the west Coast scrambler which consisted of eggs, avocado, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, and scallions. Our friends ordered the chorizo burger with fries, and pastrami on rye with a side of coleslaw. As a coffee snob, I would say the coffee was very good. Everything came out cooked fresh and hot. Plenty of fresh fruit on top of my French toast. I heard the chorizo burger was different and delicious. Most of the plates went back clean. Portions were very generous. The service was excellent and friendly. The prices are reasonable. There is plenty of parking in their private parking lot. Worth the trip if you are in the area.

I went with a basic pork roll egg and cheese sandwich and it was good. The roll was a little basic, if I came again I would ask for it to be toasted on the grill with some butter. Egg was cooked correct, the cheese was only on one half of the sandwich however. Coffee was fine. Waitress did disappear after the food arrived and my daughter had to wait a bit to ask for hot sauce for her scrambled eggs. Overall I would have no problem coming back but it was not great.

We started off with a mocha which was super tasty and not overly sweet. For a main course, I got the breakfast combo and chose pancakes, scrambled eggs, pork roll, and salad. The pancakes were definitely my favorite and I enjoyed the butter and syrup combo (although they definitely would be better with some toppings). The egg and pork roll felt very oily to me, which was very unappetizing. The salad was also not very great.. mostly just spinach and a very vinegar-y dressing. I'd definitely order something different if I were to come back again. But still, the ambience was nice and the server we had was very friendly, which elevated our experience.

And, no I am not awarding four stars for the service approach towards diners ... she did refill my coffee mug once and then surprisingly just took the creamers away without asking (I drink my coffee black but she didn't know that.). Clearly she has favorites because the guy in the booth next to me got the lovey-dovey "hon" treatment. The Sand Castle has a feeling of having been worn down by the waves through the years type of place because many of the booth chairs and counter chairs exhibit wear and even more than a few tears. On a cold November Saturday morning I could feel the chill as I sat in my booth sipping my coffee (And, I wasn't anywhere close to the front door.). So onto the four stars ... but don't say I didn't warn you about service and ambiance. Well, it feels like a shore diner and I like that feel but yea worn out a bit. Quite awhile ago stopped by for dinner and the food was really good with lots of tempting options. I always judge diners by their soup and the soup was top notch! Our meals were enjoyable at a reasonable price. And, then I just forgot to review the diner. But decided to return for breakfast today after a long Friday night. Coffee arrived promptly and was really decent coffee but the amazing part of my breakfast was how quickly the really wall prepared omelette was served. It was like in the blink of any eye and for many a promptly delivered breakfast meal is a real plus (I appreciated it!!!!). Although the waitress really didn't want to be bothered with me the rather short diner breakfast menu had the classics and that quickly prepared omelette was a tasty WESTERN. The homefries were really good ... actually they were great even without onions in them (Waitress never asked if I'd like onions and rushed away so I didn't ask but these potatoes didn't need onions.). Toast was toast and the jam/jelly selection was universally grape jelly with one orange marmalade. A very good breakfast and I wasn't here to make friends just to warm up ooops ok, so I didn't warm up but the coffee helped, and to do some work. Still worth the food if you're in the neighborhood!
