After joining the…read morewaitlist online, we checked in, were told it would be 15-25 minutes and were 17th in line. 25 minutes later, we were told the same thing, even though the online system said no one was ahead of us. 25 minutes later we were told we had never checked in ... by the same young lady who "checked us in" the previous 2 times. We were seated after about an hour wait after our 1st check in. After 10 minutes our server - who explained she was training and it was her 1st day came to the table without the server training her. Needless to say, she didn't know the menu and needed to come back again to get details on our meal (this is not her fault, and who made the decision to have a trainee work her 1st day on a holiday without supervision). We did receive our food, but couldn't get a refill on my iced tea because our server never check in on us. I didn't see our actual server until I had completed my meal. I asked to see the manager. I explained all of this to the manager and she had zero empathy for our situation. Instead, she defended the ladies at the front and said the training server was one of her better servers. All she offered was a faint, half-hearted apology. I've worked as a server and can understand when someone is in the weeds. In this case, it was just horrible service, and a manager who didn't appear to understand what quality service is. The food was fine ... not sure if it is worth the hassle.

We stumbled upon Rise N Shine Diner completely by accident on our way to the beach. We just needed…read moresomewhere to grab a quick breakfast, but baby... this place ended up becoming part of the itinerary for the NEXT beach trip. We got there early, grabbed seats at the counter, and immediately started chopping it up with the owner about life and everything in between. While we're talking, I'm watching what's happening behind the counter and realizing... wwait. They're making EVERYTHING. Sauces from scratch. Compotes from scratch. Biscuits being made. Cornbread being made for the chili. Nothing felt like "open a package, heat it up and put it on a plate." Then the s'mores pancakes started getting made for another order and THE TORCH CAME OUT. At this point we didn't just get breakfast, we got a show! But let me tell you about these Banana Foster pancakes because THAT is what brought me back. Homemade caramel sauce, freshly sliced bananas, and fluffy pancakes. Not banana flavor. Not banana extract. ACTUAL BANANAS. The bacon was good, the home fries were good, the coffee was good... honestly, everything coming across that counter looked good. I was even peeking at other people's plates like because somebody had what looked like a sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, and that cross-section looked CRAZY. I almost ordered one, but I knew I was already doing too much. What also impressed me was how clean and organized everything was. Food was properly stored, labeled and dated, and you could literally watch things being freshly prepared. Their specials seem to be based on what's fresh, in season and what they've made that morning, which makes the experience even better. Fast-forward to our second visit, most recently. Mind you, we're not locals. I'm coming from NYC, so imagine my surprise when THEY REMEMBERED US! That's the kind of hospitality I love about smaller-town establishments. Of course I got those Banana Foster pancakes AGAIN, along with home fries and bacon. We also had an omelet with cheese and caught the homemade biscuits coming out fresh. Once again, everything hit. And the biggest compliment I can give a restaurant is this: I literally factored Rise N Shine into my second beach trip. It went from "let's find somewhere to eat on the way" to "we HAVE to stop at Rise N Shine."

2026 Fall Soups!…read more Last week my hubby and I saw soups listed on the white specials board (propped up on the wall behind the counter) while eating breakfast. When we paid, on our way out, I asked if they were prepared to sell the soup "to go". Yes they are ready with a 12 oz container with a lid. I was also told they would have two soups available each day. So today, 10/4/26, I had hubby pick me up a portion of one of today's specials which was potato soup as a "to go" for my lunch while he was picking up our "to go" breakfasts. Yum! My mom always made a variety of soup when I was a kid and then I made many kinds, for years, for my family of four. Now as an empty nester I am thrilled to find "homemade" soup at the Rise and Shine! As yummy as anything I and my mom cooked but I don't have to do the shopping, cooking and cleanup! The potato soup came with a small bag of oyster crackers which happens to be my favorite soup cracker because it doesn't change the flavor of the soup but does give it an immediate fresh crunch which I enjoy. The potato soup was thick, creamy and filled with chunks of potatoes cut into bite-sized pieces. There was also a handful of shredded, yellow cheddar cheese and crumpled, crispy bacon thrown into the middle of it which when stirred; then swirled throughout making the soup that much more filling and tasty! Well worth trying. I am already looking forward to the Cream of Turkey soup I was told would be one of the specials in November!

One of the problems with breakfast, for me, is a lot of places drench everything with butter and salt... which most people seem to like. Not me, I like healthy, natural flavors. I have a couple times ordered their Jersey Girl omelette (tomatoes, asparagus, mozzarella, green onions), and it is made to perfection. Tasty, healthy, and not greasy. Just wonderful. The only thing that prevents me from rating 5 stars is that I was a little surprised that the eggs, which came with toast and potatoes (I had a banana instead), did not come with coffee, for which they charged $3.50 (hey, even Starbucks with their outrageous pricing charges only $2.45 for a cup of plain old coffee). But I would definitely recommend Beach Grille for an eggsellent breakfast!

What restaurant let along a breakfast spot send French toast and pancakes out for delivery with no butter or syrup. I called them up to be told that the owner was bringing me the butter and syrup. I waited outside for an hour just for him to never show up. I called them back was yelled at by one of the waitresses and called a not so nice name and then was told it was too busy and I should call DoorDash for a refund, I said that isn't gonna help me get my butter and syrup that u said u were bringing that I have been waiting over an hour for. So now my 44$ breakfast is cold and still hasn't been eaten this all started at 10 am it's now 11:51 am. It's a real shame as I have been going to the hungry hobo since I was in second grade and this will be the very last time I ever get a thing from them. Very disappointed in this place. I wish I could give it less than one star it should be in the negative.
