This restaurant had a charming appearance, but the service was lacking from the start. With only one front-of-house staff member and one back-of-house staff member, the service was slow. When we arrived, there were only a few occupied tables. It took 15 minutes to be greeted, and then we waited 40 minutes for our meals. Unfortunately, the food did not taste homemade, which was disappointing given the prices. However, the food was served hot. Every table received the same level of service, which included taking orders, delivering drinks and food, and requiring patrons to retrieve their bills at the register. No plates were cleared, and refills were not offered. Considering the $15-$20 per person price range for breakfast, I expected fresher ingredients and better service. read more

Man this place has fallen of sense they sold it. The food pales in comparison. They should have by all means changed the name when they sold. Jesses was a family own business that had built a spectacular reputation for years. It is, deceitful to think you will get the food, cleanliness or serves that you once got here. What you will get is a long wait time after being seated, a different menu, less than mediocre food and you get to see the cooks very unkept appearance and the waitress butt cheeks. Very disappointing! read more

The portion was Very small. I ordered a Philly steak melt and there was not enough meat on the sandwich for $14.75. I found it a little insulting to serve that little of meat and charge that much. Waffle House gives more filling in a melt. Also, the time it took to get our food was long and the food came out in 4 parts. By the time the first person had finished eating, the last person had not been served. I've waited tables, been a cook and this issue seems to be a staffing issue..... not enough people in the kitchen. read more

The breakfast at In Cahoots was pretty good. I ordered the supreme omelette egg whites only with a…read moreside of hash browns. The omelette has sausage, ham and bacon. I asked for the sausage to be removed. Every thing was very flavorful. The only thing that I didn't like is it was a little on the greasy side. So I would recommend they ease up on the grease. It was a convenient location since we were staying at Laketown Wharf. I also recommend coming early if you want to enjoy outside seating on the patio. It gets busy pretty quickly.

Overall, breakfast was pretty hit or miss. The grilled shrimp omelette was very underwhelming and…read morehonestly pretty insipid. The shrimp didn't seem grilled at all--it looked more like it had been boiled, and it tasted like it had just been thawed with little to no seasoning. Definitely not what I was expecting from something called a "grilled shrimp omelette." The build-your-own omelette, on the other hand, was good. The Gouda grits were really good and had great flavor, and the peanut butter French toast was easily the highlight of the meal. It was reallllyyyy good and definitely something I would order again! The service wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good either. Our server seemed to rush us while we were trying to order, which made the experience feel a little uncomfortable. When I brought up the shrimp and mentioned that they didn't seem grilled, her response was, "That's their version of grilled, that's just how they make them." I wasn't expecting a huge deal to be made about it, but the response felt pretty dismissive instead of actually addressing the concern.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, just nothing out of the ordinary. The service was super friendly, and they had a solid selection of classic breakfast options, which I appreciated. It's one of those places where you'll leave full and content, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. That said, I don't regret stopping by! It hit the spot for a quick breakfast while in the area.

I quite often call in and get an order to go as I'm usually by myself. I've been eating here since I moved to Lynn Haven back in 2006.

I ordered their 2 piece Whitefish grilled and blackened and ordered a grilled Shrimp salad with their Homer's favorite Buttermilk dressing. This a great place for families to go to. This particular restaurant was once an old house That's been converted. Do, it has a nice homey feel to it. Very busy in the daytime here. It's a little more quiet in the evenings.
