I made the mistake of coming here solo and then having to call hubby to read to him alllll the flavors because I couldn't dare do that for him. One flavor sounds better than the next - strawberry cheese cake - what?! Moosetracks? Yeah, i'm gonna need that too! Then they trip you up with toppings! Too many decisions! I'm on vacation! I opted to get two scoops for each of us because no one walks outta here with just one. I got the strawberry cheesecake and moosetracks - a deadly sinful combo, while I got for hubby pistachio and cookies n' cream. We didn't come up for air while eating these! I found these flavors to be far superior to Ship Bottom Ice Cream - yes - I said it! There's a reason why everyone comes here as soon as the sun comes down. It's a great little family establishment with the hardest working teenagers and young adults I've ever seen. Sit on the benches outside or drive back to your beach rental and enjoy while watching the sunset. HUGE fan!

We placed an online order with tracking information. We were told the order was ready through said system. We got to the cafe and the woman behind the counter informed us the system was glitching. These things happen, it's no big deal. However, she was so annoyed by us initially asking for our order that it was shocking. No apology for a system malfunction. She turned her back and walked into the kitchen. When our order was brought to us, it was missing the drink so we had to wait for that to be completed as well. Bottom line is this: we are understanding people. We will NEVER get angry over small things. We treat everyone kindly. We expect the same in return. If you go here, do not expect good customer service. Do not expect friendly staff, except for the sweet girl handing out samples. Definitely order the BLT because it is the best one you will ever eat. That's all.

At that point it was a small restaurant, BYOB, but it was immediately apparent that real gourmet food had finally arrived on LBI. (I still remember their version of shrimp and grits from that time.) We no longer had to put up with the prevailing surf and turf that we had unfortunately become accustomed to. Since then they've moved to their current, much bigger space and have created a beautiful, vibrant, inside-ourside restaurant that still serves excellent food (their lumache is terrific--we try not to order it every time) and has expanded to include pizzas--thin crust and very tasty; every one we've tried has been delicious. So we would definitely recommend Black Eyed Susans. The staff is welcoming, friendly, well trained. This is now a big, beautiful destination restaurant. The pizzas and beer lower the price point.

This was very relaxing and I truly felt like I was transported to a resort. They do a great job of creating a little outdoor oasis. Once we were seated, we literally wanted to order the entire menu. Everything sounded outstanding that it was hard to choose. We settled on the seared tuna and a pizza as our apps. We also did indulge in an order of homemade sourdough because when in Rome! The pizza was by far my favorite. The crust was so thin and so crispy. You could tell all the ingredients were very fresh and the dough was perfect. For our mains, my fiancé had the swordfish special and I went with a crab cake. I love that I was able to get a single order instead of a double. It was the perfect amount of food after all the apps. We agreed the swordfish was outstanding. So moist and not dry whatsoever like it sometimes can be. The real highlight of the meals for me was the homemade soft serve. As a huge ice cream stan, this was the perfect ending to my meal.
