Wonderful. Simple, delicious, nothing too fancy, but still lots of options. Expect a bit of a wait,…read morebecause apparently everyone else nearby knows how good this place is, but even then it didn't take too long. Party of 6 they told us 30 minute wait and it was maybe only 15. Even absolutely slammed it only took about 15 - 20 minutes for food to come out and everything was hot and fresh. Chicken and waffles, pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, french toast made from griddled banana bread, everything was on point. If you're ever thinking of going to breakfast down the road at a restaurant that rhymes with "lunches" don't, come to Kate's and have an infinitely better experience.

I only got pancakes, so I can't speak to the other menu items. But the restaurant has pancake in…read morethe name so it seemed like a must. The sweet potato pancakes were insane. Perhaps some of the best pancakes I've ever had. They had nuts in them and were perfectly spiced. 10/10. Red velvet was good, the cream cheese icing was quite tasty but they weren't anything too special. And the apple pancake was my least favorite; the apple filling on top tasted like it came from a can. Super sweet and didn't taste fresh. But the pancake itself was still good. This place does not take reservations and I was told the line goes out the door in the summer. There was a large line even while we were there in the off season during a storm. So if you want to eat here on a weekend, or the weather is nice, proceed with caution and be prepared to wait (standing outside--there is no seating while you wait).

I ordered and ordered they forgot about my coffee order despite 4-5 people working at the time. Parking was tough considering it's right by the boardwalk but that was to be expected. The pb&j latte and Hawaiin wrap were also underwhelming. All the avocado smash was in the bottom of the wrap, so by the time I got to it there was just wrap and cado left

I didn't get anything to eat this trip but I have had the avocado toast and it was great. Fresh ingredients and fair prices. I don't have a dog but there are plenty to pet out front as it seems a popular place to bring your pup.

We're close enough to Florida, surely SOMEBODY had to serve a decent KLP?! Quick Google search led me to the Southerly, which incidentally was very close to the park we were currently at. I called to see if they made them and the guy said they DO but were sold out for the day. I wasn't surprised, as I called right before they closed. I asked if I could reserve one for the next day- easy as pie, right? He was so friendly and accommodating, I probably would have gone in even if he said no pies tomorrow. Just a super warm, kind person. The Southerly is known for their biscuits, so when we went in the next day we got biscuits, sandwiches, and the pie. The biscuits are out of this world. I've never had a biscuit this good before. Tender, flaky, with a few crispy parts. The flavor was heavenly. The sandwiches were very good, I wish I had been able to try more. I even took a plain biscuits home to eat later and they're fantastic even without butter or jam. Absolute perfection. The Key lime pie was good. We didn't eat it until later that night. The crust was a little dry and crumbly. The filling was decadent, perfect, key limey in every way. I couldn't recommend this place more. Everyone was so nice, it's a great local spot. And let me tell you-- I would pay for express shipping if they offered it.

We (party of 2) were seated immediately, and both the host and our server were so kind and welcoming. I had the breakfast sandwich with fried chicken on a biscuit (with pepper jack cheese), and I also ordered a side of fruit (watermelon). The chicken was delicious--so crunchy and perfectly seasoned. We also shared the homemade cinnamon roll, which had a nice crispy texture to it with a soft, doughy interior. I was so happy with the meal, and I'd definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again!

I ordered a veggie omelette and the portion was really good. It was full of spinach, tomatoes, and mushrooms. My husband had the chicken and waffles and had to take some home with him because the portion was so good. The chicken was crispy on the outside. Unfortunately, it did not have an ocean view, but you are in walking steps to the ocean, so during peak season expect to pay over six dollars an hour for parking.
