    Stopped by for breakfast m these folks have it going. Quick service, my eggs with ham were excellent, and potatoes were spiced with paprika, for an interesting twist. This place is always good, always. Have a great feeling for these folks. Yum.

    Across from Publix by Flagler Bridge .

    Nice little, family-owned restaurant, serving Boston fare with Southern touch. Owners Harry & Sharen, & even the older guy making sure tables were cleared & clean were friendly with welcoming smiles; our server attentive. Breakfast Specials... I had 2 eggs poached over corned beef hash, Black tea & honey, toasted Raisin Bread, butter on the side... too full to eat the home fries. Easy access; big parking lot, shared between several businesses & the DMV. Super close to Flagler Beach, off the I-95. Def worth stopping in, if traveling by &/or you feel like having a home-cooked style meal in a friendly atmosphere.

    2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, home fries, and toast

    Fantastic little place tucked away and most likely overlooked. In an older strip mall you wouldn't think much but, you'd be wrong. Super nice owners and workers. Service was great. They only serve breakfast food but do it all day and do it well. Portions are huge. I couldn't finish mine. They have crepes, build your own omelets, eggs. Toast, pancakes, home fries, biscuits & gravy, and all the breakfast items you can think of. I order the breakfast #2 that comes with 2 of everything: eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon. And home fries. Along with toast. Pancakes were the size of plates. My wife had the 3 of everything but it omits the pancakes. Our friend built her own huge omelet. Everything was great and big portions delivered with a smile. We will definitely be back. One downside for me was only Pepsi products. Plenty of juice, coffee, water options though. I would highly recommend.

    The service of the establishment, was wonderful and the ambiance was a slight the be in. However, the food was of best quality. In the two orders that you see the home fries were burnt, the bacon was drenched in grease. The coffee was watery like it was sitting there for a long time. For the salisbury steak it was could of tasted better or have a crunch to it. The last thing that was an extreme turnoff was the clients behind us found a hair in their plate. Overall, it's a place to have a quick meal nothing more.

    All the protein and carbs!

    I was looking for the best breakfast spot in Flagler Beach, and this is it. The line to get seated moved quickly. The service was overly friendly and kept the coffee rolling. French toast was amazing.

    breakfast Special number 2 French toast, English muffin, home fries, over easy, bacon, sausage.

    Excellent service, very nice upper deck outside with ocean views and the best corned beef hash…read moreever! It was a rainy Thursday morning 10:30am. Not many people out n about so I couldn't really get a vibe for what the place would be like when it gets busy. But it was a great spot for breakfast and we sat on the rooftop area inside so it was covered from the rain, but I can't wait to go back someday for the outside ocean front deck, even closer to the water. I ordered the Irish Benedicte with hash that is homemade on premise with slow roasted corned beef. Very tasty. The side of Home fries were thinly sliced and I had gravy added to that so it was tasty too. Our server was excellent, Trevor was a very nice guy and he recommended we come back for the all you can eat ribs. I wish I was staying in town longer and I would. I'll make a point to come back next visit.

The manager took our 2 dishes off of our bill. What's outrageous is that they charge a 2.9% service fee when using a credit/debit card. That's not posted anywhere. Our server,Sage, she was sweet. Will we go back? Definitely no. Too many other places to try.

    Last weekend, my husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Barnhill's, and it was an experience…read moreworth sharing. I ordered the grilled chicken and asparagus, which showcased the kitchen's skill. The grilled chicken was a mix of perfection and slight disappointment; one breast was cooked flawlessly, while the thinner piece was a bit dry, ultimately leading me to leave some behind. On the positive side, the asparagus was impeccable--tender yet crisp, a true highlight of the dish. To elevate my meal, I opted for the butter garlic sauce, which was nothing short of exceptional. Its rich flavor was a delightful addition, enhancing the overall dining experience. However, I found the extra charge of $3.00 for a portion that barely covered one chicken breast and two asparagus spears a bit disappointing. The sauce was so delectable that I ended up purchasing an additional container to take home for the asparagus I had left. **Beverages and Ambiance** The Beachy Sangria was another standout, offering a refreshing complement to my meal. It was perfectly balanced and added a delightful touch to our dining experience. The ambiance at Barnhill's is equally noteworthy. Dining outdoors provided us with stunning views of the waves breaking on the shore, making the meal feel even more special. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, enhancing our overall enjoyment. As for the service, it was good and our waitress was friendly. While there were a couple of minor issues, particularly with the chicken and the portion size of the sauce, the overall experience was delightful enough to warrant a return visit. The combination of scrumptious food, refreshing drinks, and a breathtaking view leads me to rate Barnhill's a solid 4 stars. I genuinely look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu.

This was a huge disappointment since we drove out just for trivia. It would have been nice to get some kind of compensation, but all we got was super slow service and a 3 percent credit card surcharge! (It does say that on the menu, but again, it would have been nice if they took that off for the inconvenience.) The food is over priced and mediocre. 12 dollars for a wedge salad that is about a third the head of lettuce and very little toppings is inflation at it's best. Two dollars to sub fries for chips is also a bit much. The most surprising part was the tipping options starting at a whopping 25 percent, then 30, then 35 percent!! Who is eating here? Burt Reynolds?? (IYKYK) We will not be back when visiting this part of Florida; not even for trivia.

    Second visit to Next Door Beach Bistro and once again -- phenomenal…read more Last night I ordered the Beef Bourguignon with cream potatoes, and it was everything this classic French dish should be. The beef was incredibly tender, slow-braised in a rich red wine reduction with pearl onions and mushrooms. The cream potatoes underneath were smooth, buttery, and perfect for soaking up that sauce. Every bite was delicious. We started with the Filet Carpaccio, thinly sliced and topped with shaved parmesan, capers, arugula, and crostini. Fresh, light, and beautifully plated. The bar program deserves its own mention. You can order a vodka soda anywhere, but here they elevate every drink with presentation and detail. Instead of a simple lime wedge, I watched drinks come out with full lime rounds resting on the rim. My Chocolate Martini dessert drink was practically artwork -- topped with a dehydrated orange slice, chocolate shavings, orange zest, and crossed chocolate-dipped sticks. It looked incredible and tasted even better. Atmosphere is another win here. Guests ranged from cocktail dresses to casual beachside attire and somehow it all fit perfectly. That balance is hard to achieve, but they've nailed it. We sat on the patio (about 67°) and they had the panels down, which kept it comfortable while still letting you enjoy the beachside atmosphere. Even the hallway to the restrooms was lined with art -- thoughtful details everywhere. Some restaurants look great but don't deliver on flavor. Others taste great but lack atmosphere. This place does both exceptionally well. Dinner for two with drinks came to $131 before tip, which felt very fair for the quality of food, cocktails, and overall experience. Looking forward to visit number three.

We jokingly call it "our bar" because that's exactly how it feels....like home. From day one, everyone made us feel incredibly welcome. Mike and Lauren are the owners of Craves. Lauren was our very first bartender and immediately made us feel like regulars. Mike introduced himself that first evening while we were trying to navigate the parking lot (which can definitely fill up quickly during dinner hours, a testament to how popular Craves is!). We started out enjoying the upstairs bar before eventually finding our home downstairs. The bar staff is truly what sets Craves apart. Courtney, Emily, Monica, Bonnie, and Stephanie are all outstanding, and Lindsay has been an amazing addition to the team. Every visit is filled with friendly faces, great conversation, and exceptional service. Joe greeted us on our first visit and escorted us upstairs to the bar. He immediately noticed my husband's Philadelphia Eagles hat, and discovering they were both Eagles fans was an instant connection that made us feel even more at home. The food is simply incredible. In all the times we've dined here, we have never had a bad meal. In fact, whenever friends or family visit from out of town, Craves is always at the top of our list, and they consistently tell us it's some of the best food they've had. Some of our absolute favorites include the Prime Rib, the 4-ounce Filets, the Stuffed Flounder, the Salmon, and the Scallops & Shrimp Scampi served over pasta. Every dish is consistently delicious and beautifully prepared. Craves has truly become our go-to place, not just because of the amazing food, but because of the people. Mike and Lauren have created something special: a restaurant where guests quickly become family. There simply aren't enough great things I can say about Craves. If you're looking for outstanding food, exceptional service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to keep coming back, Craves is the place to be. We can't recommend it highly enough!
