    Veggie Skillet
    Teresa R.

    Terrific little down home Breakfast spot. Perfect for a quick stop while shopping or meeting with old friends. Tucked away in a shopping strip in the beginning of Old Webster district. Food was hot and seasoned. The restaurant was packed on a late morning week day but tables and service were quick and attentive. The only thing that kept them from 5 stars is the lack of ventilation or maybe no hoods in the back of the house. Will definitely return.

    Food was good. Service was ok. Honestly I felt a bit out of place. Not sure that I would go back. It wasn't a bad experience, it just wasn't great.

    French toast

    The service and food was fast and quick and the ambiance was nice, I don't have much complaints but after I ate my meal my stomach began to hurt. I don't know if I just got a bad meal or all the foods are like this.

    First time coming to this dinner. I wouldn't necessarily consider this a cafe. It's def more of a dinner type feel w/o the stools at counter lol. Or an upscale Denny's . Regardless...you sit where you want which was awkward for someone coming in for the first time and everyone just looks at you until a staff tells you "sit anywhere you like". But!!!! The ladies here are all friendly, they look happy to be there and they have regulars from what I could hear (there's no music ...you can hear all the conversations around you ). The menu....so many options to pick from and the portions are very generous and pricing...well I haven't seen them that low since before Covid lol. Husband and I each ordered food, order of biscuits and gravy bc it's a must wherever I go, and two drinks and our bill was $34. We haven't seen our bill that low in a long time! The hashbrowns were cooked perfectly, crispy but not crunchy or oily. My Greek omelette was sooo good!! The biscuits and gravy....well I'm picky and always looking for the perfect gravy and this gravy was just your basic gravy...but the biscuits must've been made from scratch bc the outside were crisp and the inside so light and not dense. Actually loved their biscuits. In conclusion, I highly recommend this place for any one looking for a chill, not over priced, but good breakfast place. I def will be back to try other omelette with biscuits to go .

    The Boardwalk cafe has everything you need for a good breakfast spot. Nothing too fancy, but it has a lot of character. When we walked in, the place was filled! Took us about 5 minutes to get a seat. Coffee, omelet, hash browns, and toast is what I had. Nothing over the top, but I liked the vibe. If you're looking for a local spot who does the basics right, they've got you covered!

    I had the vegetable skillet (minus peppers) w added fresh avocados. It was delish! Tge servers are always so helpful and nice. The kitchen does a great job preparing food that is tasty and satisfying. Great little neighborhood joint with a homey feel. Check out the hours.... They close at 3p

    Boardwalk skillet, added spinach. So good! My son had big fluffy pancakes!

    Great food. Great service. Inexpensive! It was a tough decision as there were lots of good things on the menu. Perfect sunny side up eggs and big fluffy pancakes!

    Wow. Wow. Wow. Best. Hash browns. Ever! We came here due to local and it looked like a great breakfast spot. Right when we walked up you could see all the waitresses having conversations with all the regulars here. Everyone was so nice and just on top of everything! The menu has choices for everyone and is priced very fair. I ordered the Popeye omelette and my fiancé ordered the Arch Skillet. The food was so good but the hash browns were absolutely AMAZING! The flavor was top notch. The cook on them was absolutely perfect. I will be coming back here for the service and food but the hash browns are the best hash browns I've ever had! I asked the waitress if they made them a special way and she said "no, but next time you should try the fries!" Well I will be back again and again but it will be the tough decision between breakfast or lunch!

For studying, the space is really great. Good amount of tables, enough room to spread out, and there are charging ports which is a non negotiable for a long study session. The workers are friendly too. Oh and there's an ice cream shop attached to it. It's such a well rounded spot, whether you're coming to grab a quick bite, study for a few hours, or treat yourself to ice cream after. Highly recommend!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

They have a full ice cream bar in here (had no idea) which is great to add to the sweet treat line up. My coffee was great (iced latte) and the service was also good.

I was honestly surprised at how busy it was when we arrived at 4pm on a Thursday. I wasn't expecting that kind of crowd, but thankfully I had made a reservation, so we were able to get seated right away. As much as I would've loved to sit on the patio, it didn't look like anything was available, although if you can snag a patio table, I'd definitely recommend it. Inside was packed, with quite a few larger groups as well. Our table was right in the middle of the restaurant, so we had a good view of everything going on. It was loud, but in a fun, lively way. Our server was really friendly and quick. She checked in on us often and gave some helpful recommendations. We ordered drinks and a couple of apps to share, and she left us a full bottle of cold water, which was such a nice touch. We got the pretzel monkey bread, french fries (the best) and the artichoke bean dip. We weren't planning to stay for dinner, just wanted some snacks. The food came out fast and honestly looked too good to wait on. I loved the monkey bread, the pretzel bites had a great crisp to them, and the sauces they served with it were really good. The bean dip was good too, just not as much my thing since I'm not a big fan of dill, so I left most of that for everyone else. Once we wrapped up, we were able to split the check and head out pretty quickly. I really appreciate places that still make it easy to split checks, and even more when you can just pay right at the table with those handheld POS devices.
