    Cute and tasty breakfast spot! The crustless quiche of the day was a crab quiche, which was very tasty and filling. Also ordered a vanilla latte which was pretty good and very sweet. They have a good amount of seating inside and some cute outdoor seating on the porch as well.

    Chicken and cheddar panini and fries - can't miss

    Evelyn's never disappoints - great food - professional service - reasonable pricing - great for breakfast and lunch - a West Annapolis treat!

    My husband and I tried this restaurant for breakfast this morning. Based on the reviews, I have seen that often times there is a weight to be seated, so we made sure to be there when they opened at 8 AM. We were sat promptly and we're looking at the menu when people started pouring in. So, reviews were correct. I would definitely get there early or plan to wait. The restaurant is very cute. It looks like a house and is decorated with different kind of art. Our waitress was very friendly and personable. She brought us our coffee promptly and was back right when we were ready to order. My husband ordered the feed the navy omelette. It's full of meat, like steak, Italian sausage, and bacon. He said it was very good and flavorful. I kept it simple and ordered pancakes with chocolate chips. The pancakes are huge and they were not stingy with the chocolate chips.LOL Overall, we were pleased with our experience. If you're looking for a quaint restaurant, with friendly staff and a unique menu, you should definitely give them a try!

    Came here while waiting for the Blue Angels and had great service, quick food, and a great atmosphere! I imagine parking can be an issue but it was a rainy day so we found street parking right out front. This place is huge! We came during the middle of the week so it wasn't an issue for us but would definitely recommend!

    Skip the corned beef hash.  Tough. Very fatty. Small portion. Not much going on here worth ordering it again.

    I'm glad this place is here, but I don't really like it. Service is friendly but inattentively slow. Breakfast platters are all underwhelming. The sandwiches and salads seem good, so I'd go there for your options. Fries are your fairest portion of sides. I keep trying this place because everyone praises it but I really don't get it. It is clean, it's friendly, it's not a franchise and it seems to create jobs for a lot of young adults in the area... kind of like, the neighborhood kid's first waiting job kind of place. So that's nice. The coffee is good but you have to throw out a lasso to get anyone to notice it needs refilled. Last time we were there we ordered 3 meals and 2 of them were wrong. It was just poor order entry by the waitress. I like going out for breakfast. It is one of the easiest meals to make at home, but it's a treat and you want to be served something at least as good as you could make it and hopefully better. The egg platters are so minimal and boring. The potatoes are a small portion of, I think, fried potato cubes mixed with onions and peppers. Meat portion is small also. I got the hash one morning and the corned beef was so tough, overcooked and fatty it was indelible. The person who cooked it clearly had no pride in what they were serving. That said, I have seen food go past that looks better than what I order. There is a fried goat cheese salad that looks nice. Some of the sandwiches are fair portions and if you get fries it's a good sized meal. The cuban, some sort of grilled chicken sandwich and the burrito all look good. After 4 visits, though, I think I'll take a break from Evelyn's for a while. There are a lot of breakfast/lunch places I like better; Chick & Ruth, Iron Rooster, Blue Rooster, Naval Bagel, and even the Sunday brunch at Cantler's is a nice portion and service. (That's a winter '24 special. Call to see if that continues)

    My husband and I ate here for breakfast it was good! It seems busy no matter the day of the week but street parking was nice

    Smoked salmon plate

    This is a quaint and unassuming little breakfast restaurant in Annapolis. I tried to park on the street but there was nothing available so I parked across the street. Upon walking in it seems homely and there is a chill vibe. They told me to sit wherever I wanted. I was brought a menu and decided on smoked salmon. Its presentation was more like a deconstructed sandwich. I didn't really enjoy the food but that's my fault for ordering the wrong item. Next time I will grab something else. It seemed like everyone else was enjoying their food.

    delicious breakfast! huge variety and the sweet potato biscuits are amazing:) The menu has some updated items, the huevos rancheros are always a classic and the variety of quiches never fail to please:)

    Sunday 1/11/26 Once…read moreagain, another spot that I found with the help of yelp as the high ratings & reviews definitely gained my attention. I made a takeout order and got the crab cake omelette (w/ a biscuit) $18.29, legendary scone: Blueberry $3, single blueberry pancake $2.89, single maple bacon pancake $2.89, and single cinnamon roll pancake $2.89. - The crab cake omelet was my 2nd favorite as they surprisingly didn't skimp on the crab additions. The biscuit was just alright, but luckily it's best once combined with omlette to make a good sandwich. - The blueberry scone was probably my favorite, as it was pretty good. It was moist, fresh, and well done. - The trifecta of pancakes ranged from just okay to decent, and my ranking would go blueberry, maple bacon, and then cinnamon roll. For some odd reason, the texture of the cinnamon roll pancake was notably inferior to the other 2. Overall, my experience was quite a good one due to the scone and crab omelet delivering the most. -- #issa.cheatday

Place your order, pay and get a number then grab a seat. Breakfast on the waterfront is whats here, with a few seats inside. Some benches are outside as well down by the waters edge and marina. It was a nice sunny morning on our visit so we grabbed a bench outside and waited for our number. Biscuits and gravy with two eggs over medium, the biscuits were good and the gravy better than average and its pretty hard to mess up a couple eggs. All in all a decent enough breakfast. The location makes this place what it is, a waterfront breakfast joint. Small interior, busy and not much of a place to sit and enjoy other than outside. The line moves pretty quick. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the locale 01108

    We got there around 1:30-2 for a late lunch. We were warned of a 30m wait for 6 however were told…read morewe would be seated before close time and be fine. I should take a step back, parking when driving east is literally right past the restaurant in the back. I personally think it's almost invisible that way, there is a sign but it looks like it's pointing to a grassy field (my SO felt the same way). I turned up further and U turned and it's more clear going west. The parking says free but the people caravaning with us got dinged for parking being free until 3 (we were there after that) which was not well advertised (SO only figured it out online) and there were no gates or cards when we went in free that I saw. I guess that's not really the restaurants fault but it did sour the experience a little and worth knowing getting there. Anyway, the waiting area is big but it's fairly narrow so if you're not on the bench you're sort of awkwardly standing in the middle of the entry area. But since it's big there wasn't any colliding with people unlike other places I've had to wait. There is outside seating but it was not available the day we were there despite it being 60-70s. Their menu has a good mix of breakfast and lunch foods. My first complaint is that a lot of the stuff is a lot. They don't have a lot of non-complex foods (e.g. plain hamburger) which may turn off some folks notably kids. That said their kids menu combo was pretty diverse itself, both kids with us seemed pleased. I got a pulled pork sandwhich with sweet potato fries. I also saw best pancakes in the country advertised so got 2 pancakes (apparently they have a short stack I did not see on either manu) which I felt was good to know. I was pleased with all my food, though it was understably messy. However, given the length of time it took to seat as well as eat, I did not think it was any better than IHOP or Dennys. So comparing price and boasting, does affect my rating. I suspect some of the price hike is location, perhaps they can afford to do that, they definitely had plenty of customers! NOTE: Usually I'll describe other peoples food but our party was big. No-one had any super remarkable praise or detraction which is another reason for the 3* leaning. If we had not been driving through, hungry and specifically targetted this place I'm not sure we would have stayed. When we left we were not hungry and were happy but I am hard pressed to give more than 3* since it didn't feel memorable just long and expensive. That said, 3 is average, I would eat there again if in the area or even recommend people to try. But I also know that strip has a ton of stellar foods, so...likely you could also find better places even for brunch :)

Food came out spectacular, he remembered everything we asked for and was exceptionally patient with our 1.5 year old. Joshua made the experience wonderful, and made our anniversary even better.

    I had a mixed experience overall…read more I ordered the chicken and waffles. The fried chicken had good seasoning and flavor, which I did enjoy. However, the chicken was breast meat and sliced thin, which made it come across as dry. I did tell the server I liked it and didn't go into much detail since she seemed very busy and I didn't want to add stress in the moment. Still, it's not something I would personally order again. The waffle situation was more frustrating. I initially received cornmeal waffles, but I had told my server ahead of time that I strongly avoid cornmeal. She said she would substitute them, so I was surprised when the plate came out with the original cornmeal waffles. I didn't realize at first and ended up taking a bite before noticing. I let the server know and she had the kitchen remake it. The replacement Belgian waffles were overcooked and dense, so they didn't really improve the experience. The butter though was genuinely delicious, just very rich and more of a holiday-style flavor than something I'd personally crave in warmer weather. I also had a basic cup of coffee made with Rise Up Coffee Roasters, which was $4.50. That felt overpriced for what it was. I could have walked right across the street and had a specialty coffee from the source for very little extra cost, which honestly would have been the better choice. Overall, the experience had some clear issues, especially with the waffle mix-up and consistency, but it wasn't completely disappointing. I just don't think I would personally order the same meal again.
