    Great breakfast spot when departing Hilton Head. Food was fresh and excellent. Service was quick. Best for small parties of 4. Bread pudding was delicious.

    Cajun crawfish omelet with cheesy grits
    Bunny E.

    Found this gem through Yelp while traveling in Bluffton for a family reunion. The cafe was New Orleans themed pictures and decor all around. It was tough for me to decide what to order and I ended up getting the Cajun omelet with crawfish, and cheesy grits. Super tasty, they don't skip on the crawfish either. The grits were perfect and I contemplated getting order of it Overall a great experience!

    Ugly egg burrito and cheese grits

    This has to be one of the best brunch places I've been to since we moved here. It's a very small cafe with a New Orleans vibe with a nice jazzy background. The inside was great. Just a few tables with easy jazz playing and it was easy to make conversation without having to raise your voice. The service was great, they were very attentive and nice. Now to the reason we go out. The food was incredible. They have a wide selection of southern style Cajun foods and they all look and sound amazing. I picked the ugly egg burrito. It was wonderfully made and has great flavor. The presentation was top notch for a 13$ meal. It filled me up! Wife got the veggie omelette. She was very satisfied. She even tried some of my cheese grits for the first time and they were great! I can't recommend this place enough. It's small tho so call ahead or go early.

    1/9/22 menu.

    See all

    The food here is great. It's a small dining area but worth the wait. We've been here for breakfast and never been disappointed.

Include your name and table number. -our food was brought to us, but signs say listen for your name to be called to get it yourself. -when you're done go to the bar and tell them your table number and they'll ring you up. Cash only. I ordered French toast and scrambled eggs. My husband got the half pound burger and fries. It was delicious, tasted homemade and well seasoned. Fries tasted fresh. My French toast was yummy, with a condensed milk sauce on top and butter on the side. My scrambled eggs tasted as if they were cooked in bacon grease. Listening to Doo-wop was very nice too.

You can get there using backroads from 278 by taking Persimmon Street to Scott Way and navigating through the parking lots. While its listed as a diner, it look more like a 1950's Malt Shop. It has checkerboard tile floors, a large countertop and multple tables for 4 people. There's a projected image of a pink Cadillac along with Route 66 signs on the back wall. The service and food were excellent. Once you arrive, you fill out a ticket for the food you wish to order. The ticket is the size of a keypunch card or airline ticket. You put down what you want, your name and the table you're sitting at. They will bring out your food along with a packet of silverware. The condiments and paper towels are at the tables. This is a cash only restaurant. There's an ATM outside. I ordered the corned beef Reuben. The corned beef was very tender and the sandwich was a nice size for $11.99. Some of my party ordered the large breakfast sandwich and another ordered the grouper sandwich which I understand was very good and quite large. I didn't notice a juke box which was probably the only prop missing. They do play music in the background.

    A fantastic addition to the local dining scene!…read more Ezra's absolutely exceeded expectations. From the moment we sat down, the service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming -- the kind that makes you feel like a valued guest rather than just another table. We stopped in for brunch and were blown away. The Coconut Lime Shrimp Bowl was incredibly fresh with bright, vibrant flavors, and the Traditional Eggs Benedict was perfectly executed -- beautifully cooked with rich, balanced flavors. Every bite tasted thoughtful and well crafted. The fresh juices were so flavorful and a perfect addition to our meal. What really stood out was how balanced everything felt: a creative, well-curated menu, excellent flavors, and top-notch service all coming together for a memorable meal. Ezra's is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. Highly recommend!

Lighting was darker than normal. Many of us liked the food. I ordered the blackened mahi mahi which was a special for the night. Can't say it was great. Didn't taste blackened for sure. Had to flag down staff 3-4x even though place was def not busy. Prices were very high, which we knew going in but I can say the squeeze wasn't worth the juice. Def didn't walk out thinking cost/benefit was worth it. Almost $300. In an odd shopping plaza with not-so-good signage. Easily missed if not for GPS. Again, food was good but prices are off, signage needs improved, atmosphere needs lil more light n staff needs training to be on point... esp if you're going to be an expensive restaurant.
