    Avocado Toast
    Alora M.

    My friend was visiting from California and she wanted to see the Everglades. I have friends in Naples so we decided to base out of there. We had an early morning start and the closest restaurant in our direction of travel was this one so we decided to try it.... so glad we did. You can tell right away that this is a local favorite. So many people came in and seemed to be known to the staff. The decor is simple and comfortable. The waitstaff super friendly. And, the food is pretty good too. I ordered the steak benedict while my friend ordered their avocado toast. All of the ingredients were fresh and had great flavor. The steak was juicy, well-cooked and seasoned. Also, the portion was generous. The grits were, well, grits. That's why I always ask for cheese to be put on grits in restaurants. The hollandaise sauce had just the right tang and held together nicely. My friend stated her avocado toast was very good and the arugula on top "elevated" her avocado toast experience. Prices were reasonable. Make sure to get there early on the weekend. We went early (730) on a Sunday morning and within about 45 minutes the restaurant started to really fill up. So go, walk in, choose a seat and enjoy some great food and service.

    Not impressed at all. I had the Reuben sandwich, which was OK! The service lacks a lot of attention. Once the food is brought to you, no one ever came back to my table, even though I had a empty drink glass sitting on the edge. I asked for my tickets so I can pay and leave. It a very long time to just get my ticket. It is very loud, I understand with all the northern people down here that they're busy, but they should never be so busy that they neglect a customer.

    Sweet potato fries are so good and crunchy. Tuna melt on rye.

    Hot New place that is Amazing! Day 3 since they opened! So close to Isles of Collier Preserve - RESIDENTS and a must try! I had several options for vegans and gluten free. Open 7-3 daily! Mela the owner the amazing and super friendly. They have a bar as well. For the first week, it was run so well! I will be back for sure.

Friendly. Didn't go over the top but then again it seemed like maybe there was a rush and only two servers were on? Didn't matter much because we got what we wanted and needed. I got the shrimp and grits. He got the standard Benedict. I got a side of fried green tomatoes. All was crazy good. Portions were enough to take most home. Food was incredibly rich, but I was happy.

I went twice within 24 hours because the food was simply delicious. I enjoyed the blackened snapper eggs Benedict. Now I am from Florida so I know good snapper from bad and this was amazing. It was perfectly blackened with a great Cajun flavor and the fish remained succulent. The biscuits here are incredible. Huge and fluffy and tasty. I substitute the hollandaise sauce for their sausage and jalapeño gravy which I think was a pro move!! My second day I enjoyed the fried chicken and waffles. I also had a slice of hummingbird cake. If I had stayed in nipples a third day, I would've returned one more time. I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back next time. I am in Naples.

    Visited EJ's while vacationing in Naples last weekend. We try to visit one new place every year…read morewhen we go and while looking up breakfast places locally, this place popped up as recommended. While scrolling through some of the photos and reviews, I saw the stuff French toast and I was immediately in! We came on a Saturday morning and they were busy enough but not packed. We asked for their first available, which was outside. During summer it's a bit of a risk to sit outdoors, but it was in a covered area. They have a little side patio area, but a lot of the outdoor tables are randomly placed up against the building and in the walkway to accommodate additional guests. It's kind of weird when people that live in the building walk by as the walkways aren't very wide. The inside area of the restaurant is not very large. Our waitress was very friendly and welcoming. Even if she did spill a bit of coffee on me which she was apologetic for. My husband got the crab cake Benedict and I got the strawberry stuffed French toast. Absolutely loved everything! My husband's only note was that he did not like the corn inside crab cake. The cheesy hash browns were definitely a hit for us! The stuffed French toast was divine - basically desert! I like that the dish also came with eggs and bacon! The iced coffee was pretty good as well. Overall, this was a great experience with the exception of the weird outside seating arrangement. 8/10 recommend!
