    Eggs ,hashbr9wn casserole with sausage and French toast.

    Stopped on for a breakfast. Was pretty good. Would recommend this place. Eggs cooked as ordered, hashbrown casserole was flavorful.

    Those of you who are vegan have quite a few options as they have a section of plant based choices on their menu. As for me, I'm a meat eater and they have plenty of options in that category as well. We were a group of five and we all got something different. Our grandson had the Chocolate Chip Short Stack which was quite messy but he enjoyed it. The Eggs Benedict was good but a little small in my opinion. The Applewood Smoked Bacon was crispy. Everything was brought out by our server quite quickly considering the restaurant had quite a few people there. Overall, it's a good choice for breakfast or brunch.

    Some neighbors recommended this place for a good breakfast so we stopped by. It's a very bright and cheery place with lots of fake flora on the walls and hanging from the ceiling. We were seated right away by friendly staff and our wait staff was friendly and helpful. We ordered drinks and breakfast as the orange juice was so good! I had crab cakes hollandaise -it was good-really fishy but the eggs were done perfectly. My friend ordered the corned beef hash with eggs. The corned beef was not made in house but it was fine. This place had fine food and would be good for a quick meal!

    We came back!! A year later and everything is still perfect! Coastal vibe, clean and vibrant. Super friendly staff. Our server was great. The food was amazing, absolutely delicious. I'm sure my review will piggy back on my past review. This place is officially a favorite to visit when we come here.

    One egg with turkey sausage, fruit snd sourdough toast

    This was such a nice experience from the time we entered the door until we finished our food. They have the traditional options plus all the good healthy stuff and some specialty dishes as well. I had eggs with turkey sausage and fruit while Hubby had the salmon toast special. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I'd love to come back for the crabcake Benedict shown on the specials board. The presentation was great and service first rate. I noticed that even the butter said grass fed and they offer vegan options on the menu and free range eggs. This will be our new go to spot!

    1 Egg American Breakfast with bacon, cottage cheese and Chocolate Chip - Solo Stack (1)

    Let me tell you what..I was skeptical about this place from the outside looks of it. Once we got inside I was AMAZED at how stinking cute it was! We got seated right away, and our waitress was awesome! She was attentive and kept our empty dishes off the table and our glasses full. That chocolate chip pancake was sooooo good, I'm still drooling about it. Amazing restaurant!

    Like all breakfast places in this area, there was a wait. Lots of places to sit and was filled with families. Once we were seated our server came over instantly to get our drinks. The menu was quite extensive. We all decided on breakfast. The prices were reasonable too. My iced macchiato was just average. The servings of the food were pretty large. The food was hot and fresh when it was served. The breakfast potatoes were seasoned, hot with a little crunch. My crepes were outstanding. Just wish there was a bit more hollandaise sauce! Otherwise everything was good and well recommended!

    One 'egg' tofu meal

    Great great breakfast spot for any visiting vegans! They have quite a few options and as long as you are ok with tofu you are set! They also will add or subtract things which is helpful and you can find something for everyone for sure! The staff are friendly and there is plenty of seating in the am I'm the off season. I imagine they get busier during the season but we were able to be seated promptly. Cute little diner fee and the coffee was pretty good (just had regular). The prices are a bit high for vegan options so we explored the menu (been there twice now so far) and found a few of the combo type things that will give you plenty of good food and still be vegan. We even had some left overs! I loved their grits and the side of grilled veggies honestly the best as those were masterfully done. The power bowl was tart but needed a sauce, so my recommendation would be to either ask for lemon or buy a side of salsa as it was a bit dry without it. However the flavors were good, just needed a side sauce to bring it to the next level. Everyone getting 'normal' breakfast loved their choices and were full and happy at the end. I love that we can all go out and find something without anyone leaving hungry (which is usually me). Yay! Great option and highly recommend it for their food and their friendly staff!

    Food was good. It took 20-30 minutes to get our drink orders. Services wasn't the best, our server was very rude. My sister asked for 1/2 portion of crepes, server brought her a full portion and said " I'm sure you can finish it all" when we asked about fixing it because it wasn't right.

    Avocado Toast with smoked salmon
    Tia W.

    This is a very nice place to drop in and get breakfast. The food is priced well and our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered the avocado toast which was really filling and tasty-- I added smoked salmon to it, they DONT skimp on it so if you're thinking of adding it, go for it! You'll get your moneys worth. My husband ordered the tall stack of pancakes with sausage and eggs-- he said it was tasty. The fruit that came with my meal was very sweet and good. My husband ordered two of the fancy coffees and stated they were "delicious." I wasn't a fan of the tap water as a heads up-- although I was pleasantly surprised at the number of vegan and vegetarian dishes that were on the menu. I think it's definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. A note on the atmosphere, it was clean and when you walk in there was what appeared to be local art on display for sale which is nice.

Over the years I've gotten pretty familiar with their menu which precludes me from my more usual, detailed review. To the point...Croissants is and always has been a five star place for me across the board for food, service, ambience, and everything and anything else in between. Trust me. If you come to MB eat here. You'll thank me later Bon appétit.

I was standing there for about 8 minutes and no one said a word to me. I asked people at the kiosk if I order something with them and they said I order at the register. So was a few more minutes until someone asked what I wanted to order. There was a lot of employees so Im not sure why it takes so long to address or acknowledge a customer. -Lemon tart-This taste is more like vanilla custard with a hint of lemon as if they literally just put some lemon zest in there and call it a lemon tart. I ate the custard part and threw the shell away. Pass on this one. ($5.95) -Cannoli cream macaron- cookie was raw in the middle, didnt' taste anything like cannoli. ($2) -Irish cream macaron-was fully baked but wasn't that great ($2) -Egg bacon cheese croissant sandwich was ok The egg was kind of like a omelette texture. ($15) -Deviled eggs- very good, a tiny kick and a lil liquidy but very tasty. Pricey at $4 an egg ($8)

The outside is great for families or for a date night. They have a section where they have an outside bar so you can be by the water. They also have a small stage that I'm sure they have music outside. So we started off with drinks and some appetizers. We had the calamari, street corn dip and the margarita. We had the steak with a side order of shrimp, had the Big chill burger with an extra side the Hawaiian pasta salad and the Big Chill Island salad with chicken. Service was good. The apps were tasty and if you like spicy hot it was good. The steak and shrimp was good and flavorful, the burger was good but not the pasta salad. It was not good, that even my daughter didn't like it. As for my Big Chill Island salad was also a disappointment. Not sure what it was but the flavors just didn't go well together. I always like to give places a second try so we might come back and I will try another dish.

    Let me start this review by saying the ONLY reason I'm giving this three stars is because our…read moreserver Abby A. was phenomenal! We had a reservation for 6:45 pm and arrived a little after 6:30. Almost everyone in the group went to the bar to wait and was told someone would come for them when the table was ready. I stopped in another store on the way in to the restaurant, so I was a few minutes behind. When I came in, I told the hostess that I'm meeting the rest of my party who is potentially already seated, if she could direct me to where. I gave her the name it was under, and she said they weren't checked in yet. I thought it was strange, but it was almost 6:45 and thought we should still be fine. I texted them to let them know what I was told-they DID check in, so I told the hostess I would wait until the table was ready with her so I could let the rest of my party know. I waited until 7:00 and asked her if we were still waiting for a table or if they were waiting for the rest of my party to come out front and she said she would go check. She came back and said that there still wasn't a table ready and we'd have to wait about 15 more minutes. I joined the rest of my group and went back up front since no one came to get us and asked again. We are now approaching an hour past our reservation and she had seated several other big groups one of which specifically told me they did not have a reservation. I got a little frustrated and let it be known and we were finally seated right about 7:45. If it wasn't for the fact that we had two small children with us that were losing their mind, I would've been fine, even if I was annoyed. When we were finally seated, we were fortunately greeted with a wonderful server, Abby A. I was not overly thrilled with the choices of food on the menu, but we had 6 adults and everyone found something and they were all famished, so I couldn't get many pictures. We ordered the street corn dip (delicious), crab hushpuppies (probably would have been really good had they not been so overcooked/on the verge of burnt) and island fries (I didn't try because 2 of the adults were tearing from the peppers) As for entrees, I settled for the steak skewers, which were well cooked, and tasted OK. I opted to get asparagus instead of the broccolini, but it was WAY overcooked, flavorless, and soggy. I wish I thought to ask for some other than fries because the 2 I tried weren't worth eating. Others ordered chicken peanut mango salad (good), Hawaiian Kalua pork (enjoyed), Capera Island salmon (done well), low country pasta added shrimp (shrimp was cooked nicely), and hamburger kids meal...thinner that McDonald's! She didn't even want to eat the burger "slice". The food was decent, but not nearly good enough for me to ever go back after waiting over an hour our time for a reservation that was made over a week ago without any apologies or even checking in on us. If I hadn't kept checking back, I don't think we would've been seated for a while. I could've spent about $400 somewhere else and had better food and treated with more respect while waiting for our LATE reservation.
