    Homemade corn Corned Beef Hash and scrambled eggs
    Barbara R.

    The food was way too greasy Can't go here again Not the first time that we ate here for breakfast & lunches where the food was too greasy

    Cup Cheese Grits
    Jess D.

    I happen to be in the area dress shopping for my daughter, and we stumbled upon this place. Cute little breakfast spot. definitely seems like a place a lot of the locals come to. They are not super big inside, but the service is pretty quick so our wait time was not that long. They have a very large menu selection for both breakfast and lunch too many things to choose from had a hard time deciding on what I wanted. The staff was super friendly and we did not wait too long for our food. I definitely recommend getting the cheesy grits. I know it's not for everyone, but they were delicious. My daughter got the crab cake with poached egg and hollandaise sauce. And I got a typical breakfast sampler platter. Someone won a little smash happy with my French toast, but it was good. Definitely recommend it if you are in the area.

    Main Squeeze Short Pancakes - blueberries and lemon curd
    Colleen F.

    I went there on a Saturday morning with my cousin and we had a great time. I've been here a few times and have had an enjoyable experience everytime. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. It would be a good idea to get there earlier if you have a large party. We were greeted by the hostess right away and she immediately sat us. She quickly took our drink orders and answered all questions we had about the menu and drinks. I got the Main Squeeze Short stack of Pancakes. It had blueberries and lemon curd. Then I also ordered a side of pork roll. Everything was absolutely delish and they give you a lot of food! I ended up taking half of it home. I would definitely recommend coming here!

    Eggs and lox Benedict
    Richard M.

    While traveling Route 9. South heading towards LBI I happen to notice this little place on the left-hand side and decided to give it a try. I ordered the Benedict's with lox excellent and flavorful especially the onion they incorporated into it next I tried the banana cream pie French toast that would make any person with a sweet tooth feel like they're in heaven. My waitress Nadine filled my coffee cup three times when I was half full she was an excellent hostess. Their grits were creamy and delicious. I'm definitely recommending Grits & Grace for a great dining experience.

    Glazed Over (minus the glaze).
    Emma G.

    This was a pretty legit find. My top-tier chums and I stopped here for a patriotic breakfast of sorts on the 4th of July. We were staying in Waretown, which is kind of in the middle of nowhere, restaurant-wise, so we had to roll up our sleeves and do a bit of traveling to go somewhere that wasn't a super generic Dunkin-esque chain. We were a little apprehensive when we arrived to find a mob scene, but the wait was surprisingly non-existent and we were able to secure some seating outside in the shade. But for what it's worth, this is clearly a popular spot amongst the locals which to me is a selling point. I'd already been pretty naughty on vacation so I decided to slightly rein it in with the avocado section of the menu (hot take - all brunchy establishments should have one) and opted for the Glazed Over, featuring avocado toast, poached eggs, bacon and sweet potatoes (bypassing the balsamic glaze, which I guess just makes it an Over). I'm still on the fence with this one. It was a HUGE portion, and I like all of the ingredients involved but I'm not sure it ultimately goes together. Love the egg and avocado toast together, but the piles of sweet potatoes and bacon I think were a little too much, at least for me. Also (and I probably should have realized this beforehand) this is NOT the type of dish to bring home for leftovers. I completely forgot that avocado has zero staying power so the next morning I did not have the freshest bite of this. That's on me, but in hindsight I would have gone for something lighter that didn't have as many ingredients - you're basically cancelling out the benefits of the avocado when you douse it with bacon. But in the moment, it WAS good, I can't say it wasn't. The service was pretty fantastic - we had our drinks within two or three minutes, and all of the food was on the table probably within 10 minutes. It was busy so our waitress didn't have time to chat up the group or anything, but she was professional and efficient. Grits really benefits from the lack of competition in this area, but I'd have zero issue stopping by again. I'd likely get something else on the menu, but that's really more about the establishment offering a lot of intriguing options versus a terrible meal I had.

    Dublin Benedict
    Jess D.

    Stopped here for breakfast/brunch over the weekend for the first time and loved it! It's a very small spot but we didn't have to wait long to sit. Once seated and ordered, the food came out quick as well! Their menu is huge so there's something for everyone! Some of my favorites were the fresh squeezed lemonade, cinnamon bun and the omelettes. Definitely a must try!

    We got seated outside. They have parking in front and back but was so packed that we had to park on the side parking infront of a house. The staff was lovely. We got the sampler, hash & eggs, fries and mango smoothie. Mango smoothie didnt taste like mango it tasted like banana. The hash&eggs were great loved the crispy parts of it. I saw someone else got fries and was on a skillet and looked super crispy but when I got mine it looked so sad.

    Corned Beef Hash with over easy eggs and gluten free toast
    Carlie A.

    Service was so-so but everything else about this place was fantastic. Indoor and outdoor seating was available, but if you don't want to wait be sure you're there before 8:30 or so. Corned beef hash was excellent and greatly appreciated that they have gluten free toast as an option. Would absolutely go back.

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!

They offer a creative kitchen and culinary trained owner/chef, that attempts to do most things from scratch, but does also sell bakery products from nearby ovens where the quality is exceptional. I stopped in after court earlier this week. I had driven a long way, leaving home early enough to skip breakfast, and was hoping to make up for that after exiting court. Yelp found me this bistrot, and as usual, the reviews were accurate and a strong invitation. I went with a short stack of french toast and bacon, with fresh coffee to wash it all down. I received two half slices of a good thick cut loaf, nicely soaked in an egg/vanilla/cinnamon/sugar mix, with well done bacon and a wedge of sweet cantaloupe as garnish. It was all tasty and an excellent flavor/texture balance. The java was refilled twice while I ate. Service was friendly and efficient - as would be expected when the only customer in the house. The only shortcoming was the table syrup, which was generic. An offer of pure Grade B maple would have made this a near perfect ensemble. Apparently, there is quite a brunch crowd on weekends, when the bakery offerings are also at their optimal choices.
