Two bartenders working and both were awesome. Suggested the mini doughnuts, so we followed their lead and they were delicious! Traditional breakfast with fresh fruit and a coffee for me, more than enough to get you through the day! Cool atmosphere and they even had live music. We will be back! 5

They brought all the orders and i received a full order of french toast and no eggs benedict . When i mentioned it to the waitress she argued with me and made no effort to fix my order. i didn't want an argument in front of my friends and just stated that since you can't make just one piece, i'll eat the french toast. she continued the argument and i repeated what i ordered. no solution . 15 minutes later she came back asking me if i wanted something else. i stated no. she did again i told her i would go ahead and take two eggs and bacon. We also had two mimosas $16 each made with totally flat champagne. i was already over my limit in complaining. She the. proceeded to rush us off the table by grabbing dishes as we were eating. She literally asked me three times to take my plate as i was in mid bite. Obviously, she was needing to leave and was rushing the heck out of us. The check came with her gratuity already on the bill for a party of 6. I'm sure reading the reviews they are much better than this uncomfortable experience for $96 breakfast for two people- two awful drinks and not what i ordered.

The first time we tried Bubba Jacks was for breakfast. With limited choices in DFS, we made the…read moreshort trip south to Freeport to try them out shortly before Christmas. We are so happy we did! Delicious food and great service! They definitely know how to make "dunk-able" over medium eggs, epic omelettes and hearty breakfast potatoes with toasted home style bread. We had gone for breakfast several times and noted their daily lunch specials which sounded really good so the next time we were in Freeport later in the day we decided to go BJ's for lunch. Best chicken fried steak ever! Next time we stopped for lunch my husband got the buffalo 10 chicken wing special and I had an awesome (huge) Chef salad. His wings had a nice heat build up and he was sweating at the end which is his perfect wing experience. Service is awesome with obvious teamwork. "ORDER-UP" means somebody get it to the table, and they do it while it's hot. The atmosphere is homestyle comfort just like the cooking and the prices are reasonable. Last but not least, is the "pay it forward" they do. You can buy a ticket for a meal and the ticket hangs outside to be redeemed by someone in need. This my friends, is small town America at its best, taking care of each other. Whether you're a local or just hungry and passing through, you can't go wrong with Bubba Jacks good old homestyle southern cooking!

There is very limited indoor seating, so just be mindful of that in the event of poor weather conditions while waiting in a long line to order. It was great to see that the coffee beans are Stumptown brand, and the cold brew was especially good. There is also an awesome wide variety of pastries, such as a key lime pie croissant. Friendly staff and overall efficient operation, with great opportunities indoors for photos with nice aesthetics.

Great food and service! Always enjoy eating here when we are staying in Blue Mountain Beach.read more

BLUF: Neat building, ok food, bar out back looks like a good time…read more I love the building that Cowgirl Kitchen is located in. It reminds me of a mid-century diner or service station that you would have seen on historic Route 66. While indeed a mid-century building dating back to the 1950s, it was originally a cottage in Seagrove Beach. I love that the owners had the historic cottage relocated when it was threatened by a new subdivision being built in Seagrove. The logistics at Cowgirl Kitchen are that you order inside and then a server will bring the food out to you. We choose to sit on the front patio for a serene environment but I can tell the people out back at Boxcar Annie's were having a great time enjoy live music and cocktails. For food we had a round of grouper sandwiches and a side of chips. My sandwich was good. My sister's was undercooked - pink and jelly-like at the thickest portion. I am sure the staff would have been glad to remedy the situation but we frankly didn't feel like waiting in line at the counter again and then waiting for them to put the fish back on the flattop, or however its cooked. She ate around the undercooked part and we moved on with our day. Another thing that is nice about Cowgirl Kitchen is that it's right net to "The Stalls of 30A" - a unique and fun shopping experience. I always appreciate when I can eat, drink and shop and not have to move the car!

He has such a cool vibe and is super easygoing. We were surprised to see they didn't offer any cocktails with liquor so we inquired, apparently it's due to the limited space so they have offerings like Bloody Marys with Sake. It was actually quite tasty! The food was overall flavorful but needed a little more seasoning. I did appreciate the uniqueness of some of the dishes. My Pork Belly Biscuit was insanely good, but the Gravy Biscuit needed more S&P. All in all, prices are reasonable for the portion sizes.

The Caf is connected to a Chevron station, so that explains the comments I read about the atmosphere. Still, it seems like they could do a little more to make the place more inviting.

BLUF: Excellent breakfast all day and delicious, fresh donuts in a diner-like atmosphere…read more My party of three arrived at The Donut Hole to a long-ish line down the ramp and I was wondering if it's worth it. It is! The Donut Hole most certainly has diner vibes and I suspect the booths are original to its 1978 origins - both of which made for a nostalgic experience. Although named for the sweet, fried confections, The Donut Hole has a huge menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. My table all ordered breakfast even though it was lunch time. The breakfast was awesome - omelettes, pancakes, poached eggs, cheese grits, coffee and the most delicious rye bread. I had the sausage and cheese omelet and there was something about it that made it better than other omelettes I've had. Also, I loved the rye bread - it was sliced thicker than what I am used to and it was very pillowy. I enjoyed it dry but it was also good with a little butter. We waited about 20 or so minutes for a table, but once seated we enjoyed prompt, attentive, excellent service. And's let's not forget to talk about the fresh made donuts! Oh my, there were a lot of flavors to choose from and none of them disappointed. Initially I went with a chocolate frosted and Bavarian cream filled donut. But then a fresh tray of key line donuts came out and I had to get one of those too. My sister ordered a few and we took them back to our rental, cut them in quarters and had a donut tasting party. Delicious! I am looking forward to my return trip to The Donut Hole. A visit to Santa Rosa Beach would not be complete without a stop at The Donut Hole.

Holy tortugas! This place rocks and no wonder it is packed, the word is out…read moreVery smart scheme, they don't need any advertising because it is by word of mouth, our next door neighbor from Pensacola told us about the donuts and other items in the menu I ordered an omelette with mushrooms and cheese and it was like they would have told me to go in the kitchen and make it myself disregarding how big my stomach and my appetite would be, very generous that not even the picture makes justice to how well and generous was. Do you think I left any in my plate? no sir! Wife ordered two fried eggs that come with hash browns and biscuit and she barely finished too. Kathy was our server with a smile from ear to ear that made our day, very patient and took our order quickly and accurately. Considering the number of people in the restaurant our food came out quickly. We asked Kathy about something we saw next table and could not guess what it was on the menu. Apple fritters she said so we ordered one to go, well have it with coffee tomorrow There is a well known breakfast franchise across the highway but they are no competition to the Donut Hole, just simply there is no other place I have been in the Nation that serves as good as this and I have been to quite a few, I wish there was one near home. Place is well lit and inviting with enough personnel to tackle the crowd Place is crazy busy and when we left the line was all the way to the front porch Are we coming back? you bet we will in the week and a half we have left in Paradise. Only about a mile from Topsail Hill State Park and next time we will take the bikes, easy ride on the bike lane on Highway 98
