My husband and I usually make it to Coal Docks a few times per summer for breakfast. The outside of…read morethe restaurant doesn't look like much, but the inside is welcoming. The décor features old photos, postcards, and maps from around Jefferson County. There is a good selection of breakfast items, with a "lighter side" and a la carte items available. I usually order the make your own frittata (choose your own veggies/meats) which comes with potatoes, a slice of toast, and a side of fruit. Husband is a big fan of the breakfast burrito. Don't expect diner prices because the food is good quality and well portioned, and you won't be hungry 30 minutes later. I've never been disappointed with a meal here, though we've only had breakfast. I wish they'd offer a few more meatless options for lunch and dinner. Service is always friendly but can be a little slow at times if there is just one server. Luckily it's a nice place to hang out and drink an extra cup of coffee. At the register you can purchase sweets, biscuits, or bread, depending on the day. Sometimes there is local honey or other interesting stuff for sale too. One last note: Coal Docks has been closed randomly when their hours state that they're open. I highly suggest following them on Facebook to keep up on closings and daily specials.

Husband enjoyed the sausage gravy over biscuits with scrambled eggs. I had one of their specials, which was a bacon spinach tomato quiche with hollandaise sauce and toast.

First off, their website is odd. Not much information, quite confusing, sometimes it won't even load (on mobile device), so if you're trying to make a reservation, call them directly. Location, beautiful, along the river, great outdoor seating. I'm sure dinner and sunset is stunning. Good, it was okay. We ordered kids breakfast, huevos rancheros skillet thing, chicken and waffles, biscuit and gravy, and the whisky flight. The huevos ranchero was good, nothing to rave over but good. The chicken and waffles didn't come with syrup at first, I'm sure it was a mistake. The biscuit and gravy... looked amazing, but the biscuits were hard. Like rock hard, and even after sitting in the gravy, no moisture would come back. Haha Service... the lady was so sweet, but she kept forgetting us, she would place hot things right in front of the baby where she would easily grab it. She had a hard time splitting the bill. Ultimately we had to ask another waitress for water refill and splitting our bill. Maybe we will go back... but not in a rush.

We ended up having a great conversation with the sweet 87 year old owner and a plan to go back to try more of their food! The chili we had was a very good traditional chili. It came with some delicious homemade corn bread. The corn bread was a little on the sweet side, just the way I like it. Speaking with the owner we found out that she makes the desserts from scratch, including the pie crusts! She also makes the tomato sauce, lasagna, meatballs and everything is fresh and not frozen. Excited to go back and try some of the other food dishes! After hearing about the desserts, we tried the carrot cake and the banana cream pie. Both were good, but that banana cream pie, can't wait to go back and have another slice!
