    Good service, sometimes slow. Nice patio to sit for breakfast or lunch on a good weather day. Food took forever to come out. Food was fine, nothing outstanding but a good option for breakfast.

    Such a terrific brunch experience. It is anything special based on appearance but the service & food was terrific. I would like to try their whole menu. So so good!

    Check out the little trash cans on the table for your wrappers. Oh my, it's so cute.

    Michael took care of us. Sam was in the kitchen and Mita was also there. They were so lovely. We had such a great experience. First time here, will definitely come back. Coffee was phenomenal. Food was delicious.

    Decided to check this little spot out on an early Sunday morning. Limited seating, a few tables inside, 4 four tops and 1 eight top outside with umbrellas. There was a couple paying their bill so we waited 5 minutes for a table outside. Very low key place. Just a couple employees, but they do a good job of checking up on everyone. Menus on the table, so you don't have to wait on someone to bring them over. Mimosas were good, nice champagne to oj ratio. Cute location, easy parking. Salmon platter was good. The menu description said it came with feta, but it arrived sans feta. Just feels like the dish was very minimal. Not much salad, very few onions. Decent amount of fish though. Also ordered plate of eggs, sausage, French toast, and bacon with a side biscuit and gravy. I was told it was very filling. Service was friendly.

    Proving that you don't need to have all the glitz and glamour or even a beach front or Ocean view to be one of the best breakfast spots in the area, EOC serves up delicious food with attentive, awesome service at reasonable prices. From the outside it looks like a hole in the wall or dive. But that's also part of its charm, much like reading the morning paper while having brunch as the Trirail or some train passes by on the tracks adjacent to the parking lot. Could you find a fancier place? Absolutely. Would you get the same good old mom and pop type of food. No way. And I say this as one half of a relatively food-snobby gay couple. It was a definite gem of a find.

    Very cute, low key breakfast/lunch spot in Boynton near the railroad tracks serving up no frills traditional menu items. It was a beautiful day to sit outdoors and we were lucky enough to find a covered table quickly. However we were slow to be served, which was ok as it took me a while to find something that caught my interest. I settled on the quiche of the day, a side of corned beef hash, and home fries. Hubs got the traditional breakfast with a coconut pancake. I usually do a good job of choosing my meal but not today. The quiche of the day was some mushroom, bacon, spinach combo but I didn't really taste anything but a sweet crust and grease. The corned beef hash (the canned variety) was good and went well with the home fries. My husband's meal on the other hand looked far more appetizing, and filling...and was. His coconut pancake was huge and very tasty. He cleaned his plate so the rest of it must have been good too. Prices are more affordable than other areas on the east side. I would give our experience an overall 3.5

    Kids' pancake.

    I kick myself for not coming here sooner. I have walked and driven by this cafe many times and never have stopped in to see what the hype is all about. We got there after noon on a Sunday and they were busy. Luckily, the four of us only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table outside. The menu offers breakfast and lunch and I went for the monti cristo sandwich. Two pieces of French toast with ham, turkey, and swiss cheese packed in between and a side of jelly and French fries. Hallelujah for a fantastic lunch :) The spot is perfect for people watching and our lovely server kept a smile on our faces the whole time. They got customers in and out with their food and didn't rush anybody. What a great place to have some damn delicious food!

    Corn beef hash & eggs !!! Rye toast !!!

    Nice Lil breakfast spot ..... six tables inside & about eight tables outside .... One waitress so she's constantly running around; mind you it was a Wednesday.... The place inside is clean but definitely dated but very comfy & cozy ... The coffee is delicious and the food was super fresh; we had the eggs over easy with corn beef hash well down & the most delicious rye bread .... We shared a short stack of chocolate chip pancakes which were also super fluffy & delicious... The service is definitely a Lil slow about 35 to 40 minutes from the time we ordered till it hit our table ... the coffee kept coming so that was a good thing ... Our waitress constantly checked in on us as she flew by to make sure all was good ... So, as long as your not in a rush and have plenty of time this was a good breakfast experience.. We would definitely return again & refer family & friends ... Thanks, Greg D & family

    A big basic breakfast!

    This a very friendly little local place withh great food. The basic breakfast is so reasonable and the oakmeal is surprisingly very flavorful. The stuffed French toast is to die for with the blueberry glaze. Kelly is a great waitress and is always willing to ensure everything is great!

    The restaurant has a diner type menu work daily specials. Breakfast and lunch are served all day…read more(the restaurant closes at 4:00). A great value (before 11:30 weekdays) is the $8.95 egg breakfast which includes eggs your way, toast, potatoes and fruit. The service is pleasant but can be a bit slow if you sit outside which works out fine if you're looking for a leisurely meal. Approachable menu, something for everyone. Ample indoor and outdoor seating is available.

    It is a perfectly fine option if one chooses wisely…read more Lovely ambiance. When you walk in, observe what people have ordered and decide. The vegetables sandwich that I ordered had so much oil but fortunately the bread soaked up some of it, so I just discarded the bread. My wife's salad with fish was very good. Also, the fruit served with my sandwich? Just perfectly ripe and enjoyable. One of the things that cracked me up here, being a laid back Texas boy, was over hearing all the incessant, noisy, nasal New York Jewish ladies whining, commiserating and ruminating with each other at the other tables. That was entertaining. I had thought about asking about the homemade desserts but the staff was slammed I guess cause no one came around to check on how things were going and if we needed anything else. Just as well. Counting calories. My tipping default would normally be 20% but today... not sure what I will leave lol.

It looked like a nice spot really cool the ambience of being next to the beach and having food. But the surprise was when we had our food Terrible. Like I have never had or I've never encountered this situation when I don't wanna eat anything because it doesn't taste like anything. We ordered the fried snapper and unfortunately it was old. It wasn't crunchy. It was unseasoned, no flavor. It was really really bland. When the server came after the two minutes, we told him like" this is not for us to finish it like literally we didn't even eat anything and unfortunately I don't know why ( since I'm a server, anytime somebody says something is bad and I clearly see they didn't eat it, i take it off the check.) the server didn't take it out of the check. He charged us for this really bad snapper. We didn't ask him to it, but he could've at least asked his manager to approach the table or something. No nothing just oh sorry. when we clearly barely ate something from that fish.. Will never return to this place unfortunately it's not worth the hype or even the bother of driving there

The Hawaiian chicken sandwich was really really buttery and the sodium content was crazy. The pineapple basically tasted salty and buttery, which wasn't the best.

If you're grabbing a coffee or a pastry to go, don't worry about this. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend staying here for a meal like we did. This definitely affected my appetite.
