    Had an awesome time!! We come here once a year and we found our favorite breakfast spot. The pancakes were like a dessert plus the iced latte. It was simple inside, but cute and had lots of coolers of drinks. The service was great and so fast too with the nicest waitress. The only thing I had a gripe with was that I believe they used AI to make their menu . But whatever it was still awesome.

    The food is great as usual. Service was awesome as usual. Calm and relaxed atmosphere. We'll be back.

    We came in within a few hours of opening so keep in mind they are just figuring things out. This is going to be a great place to stop into before hitting the beach or taking out the boat. Stock up on drinks, sandwiches and ice or drop in afterwards for a good meal and friendly staff. The restaurant may seem odd at first until you realize it's technically a convenience store because of zoning. Seating is limited due to the zoning restrictions. Pros Friendly engaged staff and owner. Elevated lunch items straight forward breakfast. More soft drink selections than you will find at any restaurant anywhere. Prepared foods, chips and drinks are ready for takeout. Beer and wine are coming once they get a permit. My burger had thick slices of beefsteak tomatoes. Good tasting meat and three onion rings on it. Cons (Again keep in mind they just opened) Your at a breakfast/brunch place, syrup, jelly, salt and pepper should be on all tables (they are still working this out). Although there was a ton of staff, service was slow even though they can only seat 35 people right now. This is a workflow issue that will improve quickly. I ordered a burger, medium rare, got a well done burger. Fries needed salt. Onion rings were refrigerator cold inside. My wife's omelette was prepared as if made by a child but tasted good. The burger bread was thick, dense and hard. A softer less expensive bun is preferred by most people. This felt like a soft opening. Many simple and obvious things were not in place but that's ok, they'll figure all that out within a day or two. Everything was clean bright and the staff was eager to please. We have high hopes for them and wish them every success!

    Western omelette, home fries and the divine biscuit.

    The best biscuits period! I've ate several things here and all were great but the biscuits are outstanding.

    Crabcake eggs benedict!
    Eddie S.

    Had the rapcakes benedict. They were delicious! Selected gritty's as the side and they were also delicious!

    Eggs, grits,  sausage,  bacon toast and French toast

    Great food and service. More food than I can eat and the prices are wonderful. This is my second trip and and I'm definitely coming back

Shepherds Pie was wonderful and the Corn beef and cabbage had extra special flavor. Great job Chef! What beautiful scenery of the inter coastal water, and warmth of the sun in the background. You all made it extra special and we definitely will be returning for our next monthly gathering.

The shrimp was exactly as the name would suggest- nothing special but tasty. The soup was probably the best part, taste-wise. I ordered the filet and it came out overcooked and dry- something akin to a hockey puck. Our server was excellent and saw it within minutes and brought me a new plate. The second was juicy and cooked perfectly, however I think this restaurant is scared of seasoning. The garlic butter on the steak was the only hint of flavor- I had to heavily salt the asparagus and mashed potatoes to get them down. No seasoning at all. My partner got the mahi mahi and while the flavor was okay, everything was dry and muted. Eating on the deck made it all worthwhile, but I think next time I'll just got for the view and apps.

Casual with amazing food and drinks. We ordered the Shrimp Nachos. OMG, the platter was piled high with crunchy homemade tortilla chips layered with actual real cheese (not cheap "cheese sauce") lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, banana peppers, avocado, and a generous amount of shrimp. If you see a chip with a bubble-those were my favorite. So delicious and could have been a meal for both of us to split. We also got The Gaff and it was absolutely delicious. The French fries are house cut and they were fantastic. Our drinks were great. Our server was attentive despite it being really busy. We will go back again this week while we're here.

Inside, the music was dulled until the door swung open. Service was prompt and friendly. Dinner entrees included puppies (again), citrus tuna (again), parm encrusted Mahi, and two NC shrimp and grits. The citus tuna salad was just as good as last year, and the parmesean Mahi was flavorful (especially the tomatoes!) and worked very well with the bed of risotto on which it was served. Both who selected shrimp and grits were pleased but noted the grits were thin (soupy), but tasty! Even though our party claimed to be full, there was zero difficulty knocking out a basket of funnel cake fries. Gaffer's is fast becoming regular territory on our visits to the island.
