    What a great little hometown breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. Now don't come here expecting anything fancy like fruit compote French toast. But if you want something that tastes like your grandma made it that summer you spent down south with her- well this place is it. Let's start with Customer Service. We were greeted as soon as we walked in seated quickly at a clean counter seating with authentic wood chairs. The waitress was hospitable, friendly, and even offered some options and explained what things were on the menu she checked on us several times to make sure that we were good and even gave us her feedback on what we should order based on what our pallets OK, I'm not really worried about my body were craving we also got some local made cakes to try to go. This place is definitely going to be a stop every time. I'm in the area. Perfect if you are getting on or just getting off a cruise ship as it's only eight minutes from the terminal.

    What a gem of a place. The most wonderful and comforting experience in cape canaveral. The food is delicious. Large portions. They created and invented southern hospitality. This place is like a much needed warm hug. I love all the signage everywhere. Lots to read and enjoy. You feel like you are eating and having family fellowship. The service was exceptional. Everyone is filled with joy and so welcoming. You feel like they brought your favorite family members and you get to enjoy a special meal together. Look forward to returning. They are only open till 2pm. We came for breakfast on. Friday morning and we only waited about 15 minutes. They have wonderful specials and massive homemade fresh biscuits. The bacon is delicious. Grits are so creamy.

    The food options and portion size we greater than the price! And it tastes good. I had their grits with eggs accompanied by biscuit and gravy. Everything was delicious. The place was very inviting, having a stereotypical southern charm warmth feel as the name suggests. The service was outstanding.

    Lovely, charming place with good food & service. We ate here before getting onto a cruise ship. Very convenient to the port & easy to find. I had western omelette with deep fried bacon. Be aware there is a 4% service fee for using a credit card.

    Southern Charm Café absolutely lived up to its name. From the moment we walked in, the place had this warm, down-home feel paired with hilarious, Southern-style sayings all over the walls that kept us smiling the whole time. We ordered a little bit of everything, and nothing disappointed. * Biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon -- The biscuits were fluffy, fresh, and huge then the gravy had that perfect seasoned, comforting flavor with bits of sausage. The bacon was crisp, smoky, and just right. * Omelette with chili and cheese plus grits -- This one was a standout. The omelette was hearty and packed with flavor, and the chili added a delicious kick without overwhelming the eggs. The grits were smooth, buttery, and exactly how grits should be. * Cheese quesadilla with crinkle-cut fries for my daughter -- Simple but well-done. The quesadilla was cheesy and toasted perfectly, and the fries were golden, crispy, and kid-approved. Overall, the food was delicious, the portions were generous, and the atmosphere made the whole meal even better. Southern Charm Café is definitely one of those places you want to come back to--great food, great vibes, and a little humor sprinkled all around. Highly recommend!

    For sure talk about good southern comfort food! The place is very hospitable, breakfast and lunch doesn't matter what time. The food portions were crazy amounts of food! Service with standard, but the people were really nice. It ambience inside has a good southern comfort feel!

    Requested oj with ice, and this is how it arrived
    Dj S.

    While on vacation, we stopped stopped here to eat and I requested an orange juice with ice. As did my friend, this is what she brought out. she actually brought out a cup of orange juice along with a cup of ice. It was the funniest thing ever. And I couldn't stop laughing about it. The place was much larger than you would think by looking at the front. The staff was absolutely adorable, and accommodating... to a degree. Staff would not let my adult friend order off of the children's menu because there was not a child at the table.Oh, well, not something to cry over. The food was in huge portions and so very delicious, if you're ever in the area, you definitely need to come by.

    Great food at a great price.Service is always good.All the food is great.Their biscuit's are fantastic.Breakfast is always good I love their sausage links and home fries .

    Fluffy. Made daily from scratch.

    We got off a cruise and had time to kill and ate breakfast here. So glad we did! Good price, great service, cozy environment and excellent southern favs. Grits were buttery and had texture. Best ever. Crispy, meaty bacon. Crunchy hashbrowns. Perfect fluffy biscuits (made fresh daily) with tasty sausage gravy with the right amount of pepper. The waitresses come around every few minutes to refill coffee. A full breakfast for 2 with an added on grit for $35. Def recommend!

    Good 'old American breakfast. Service is kinda slow due to staffing but really good food

    Got off our cruise and needed food. I saw this place online and it was only five minutes away. When we arrived we had to put our name in and only waited 5-10 minutes. We ordered the turkey club sandwich, the porky omelet, grits and corned beef hash. Wow - the portions are large and even the drinks were huge! Our food was delicious . The hostess and our server were so friendly and our coffee was constantly being refreshed. Go here - you will love it!

    Food was hot and delicious, flavorful and service was fast. Server Kathy checked on us multiple times to ensure we were okay. The ambiance fits the name, true southern touch.

    I'm picky about where I have breakfast because when it's local it's often a regular old diner with…read morethe same dishes as other places. Merritt Island Pancake House is different from a typical diner. Even though at first this looks like a low-brow diner, the special touches say a lot. They keep with the islands theme in the decor, dishes, etc. There is a whole wall with colorings from children who have dined here. There yummy dishes with lots of gluten-free options (I had GF lemon blueberry pancakes that were great). Something that impresses me is their fruit choice--blueberries, blackberries, strawberries--instead of the typical cheaper fruits. I was really glad with the eggs because they even taste better (creamier) than a typical diner egg (like possibly cage free brown). Maddie was my server and she was sweet, easygoing, and good with the menu. I'd like to bring my girls here and was glad I tried it.

We got lemon blueberry pancakes, great flavor a of blueberry but I didn't get a lot of lemon. Could use some zest in the pancake batter. Oreo pancakes were very luscious! The custard was good and there were a ton of Oreos. We also got a pancake breakfast with eggs and hash browns. Hashbrowns were delicious and cooked nice a crispy on the outside. The eggs were super fluffy and cooked perfectly. The m&m pancakes were disappointing. Throwing m&ms on top doesn't make it an m&m pancake. Mix it in the batter! While Alex was good, we just found everything very slow. The place was not busy in the least, the service should have been much faster. As a matter of fact, the people behind us got up and left bc they were so slow and waited a very long time for just coffee. The place is huge and decorated cute. Nothing crazy, just island photos. I'd come back with the hopes of faster service.

Surprisingly a lot of seating indoors and a few tables outdoor. We ordered it for pickup and it was ready within 20 min. The food was decent, but the service was horrible when we picked up our order. We were standing at the door for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us and they definitely saw us. I asked for ketchup and hot sauce to go and the girl gave me little cups and said "they're over there on the table you can grab it." No ketchup packets or anything? We are visiting and don't have condiments at our Airbnb. The servers were all dismissive. Rude service, we definitely won't be back. Steak&eggs: (2/5) We ordered MEDIUM and the steak came out hard and overly well done. Disappointment for the price of the tiny piece of steak. Omelette: (4/5) This was pretty good. Nice portion. The breakfast potatoes were delicious. Sourdough toast: (4/5) Huge slices of bread and it was very tasty.

For my meal, I ordered Spicy Shrimp Tacos with no tortilla, and a side of fries. The tacos have Honey-chipotle grilled shrimp, pineapple salsa, siracha lime dressing slaw in it. All of the tacos/sandwiches are served with fries, sweet potato fries, or macaroni salad. The tacos weren't spicy at all but it was packed with flavor. The fresh slaw and pico complimented the shrimp. The fries were piping hot and they didn't need any ketchup. My mom ordered the Blackened Grouper Sandwich with sweet potato fries. The sandwich has remoulade sauce, Bibb lettuce, and sliced tomato. The sweet potato fries were cold, but they quickly brought fresher hot ones to the table. She loved it. Mike got the Chicken Sandwich with fries. The chicken is topped with chipotle mayo, cheddar, bacon, romaine, and dill pickles. Mike enjoyed his meal. My dad got the Samoan Burger which has two 4 oz. smash patties, pineapple-bacon jam, cheddar cheese, fried egg, dill pickles, romaine lettuce, and J. Bird sauce on a toasted bun and sweet potato fries. He enjoyed it. Lastly, my sister ordered the Crispy Chicken Tacos with macaroni salad. The tacos are panko-crusted chicken tenders, topped with pico de gallo, shredded romaine, and chipotle ranch dressing. She enjoyed both the tacos and macaroni salad. Since the sweet potato fries were cold they brought us 2 free desserts. We got the Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake & Pineapple Upside Down Cake. The Dubai Chocolate was delicious and had a delightful crunch from the pistachios. The upside down cake was warm and paired excellently with the vanilla ice cream. Overall, I would highly recommend checking out J Birds Island Eatery. Huge shout out to both Delaney, the hostess and Charlie, our waitress, for making our visit amazing.
