    Scrambled eggs, taters, side of gravy, pancakes and the meats
    Cara N.

    Food was awesome! Lobster shrimp omelette actually had a lot of meat in it. Sausage gravy is like your grandmas it's so good. Staff was friendly and the establishment was clean.

    Corned beef hash Benedict
    Michael M.

    Another amazing breakfast at the Breakfast Cottage! The food is so great here, never disappointed. Lovely place to sit outside by the tree with great waitress tending our party of 6. I had the corned beef hash eggs Benedict.

    The Monte Cristo
    Em S.

    I needed breakfast 10:30 on Sunday. The Breakfast Cottage was very busy so I wondered if I'd get a seat. I got one facing the bathroom. So much for ambience, watching folks hurriedly enter and then exit zipping pants. I ordered the Monte Cristo and an unsweetened ice tea. Both arrived super quickly. The Monte Cristo was tasty! I would definitely return here just for another Monte Cristo! I finished my tea and was not offered a refill and the check appeared without asking. It was obvious they wanted to turn this bathroom view table asap.

    Classic Eggs Benedict w/city grits  - awesome and out of 26 restaurants my WINNER 2024!!!

    Just a few new photos, still awesome today on Mother's Day. Yelp won't let me just add photos to past reviews. Check out previous posts.

    Monte cristo sandwich with fries
    Rachel B.

    Very delicious and home cooked food. We had breakfast and it was very good, including the potatoes, grits, corned beef hash, omelette, and monte Cristo sandwich. Prices were average for breakfast. Service was good. The place has limited seating so we waited around 15 minutes for inside seating at 10:30am on a Sunday. They do have more tables outside on the deck under a huge tree.

    Cherry cheesecake stuffed French toast
    Shannon D.

    French toast was so yummy. There is a friendly, home town environment here. Local at for sale. They put a fun spin on all the pancakes, French toast and waffles. This place is definitely worth checking out.

    Dirt
    Andi L.

    The food was definitely amazing, a little home-cooked place is one of the best places to eat. Nice service, nice waitress. Pancakes were amazing. The only reason why I am giving a 4 star review is because it is fairly dirty. Don't know if this is the usual experience, but there was visual dirt everywhere. Kinda off putting. That's the only thing I'd change about this place. Really good breakfast.

    Pops Sunset Grill…read more Atmosphere and Service Parking was difficult to find when we stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. Once inside, we were seated on the outdoor deck overlooking the water. Our first table wobbled so badly that we asked to move to another nearby. The restaurant has a casual, no-frills Old Florida atmosphere. Plenty of fans kept the air moving in the heat. Our server took our drink and food orders promptly, but we later had to flag her down for refills and extra napkins. What We Ordered * Chef's Ceviche: Octopus with lime juice, tomato, cucumber, red onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, olive oil, and avocado, served with tortilla chips. * Harbour Island Bahama Mama: A half-pound burger topped with pineapple, mozzarella, and teriyaki, served on a toasted brioche bun with lettuce and tomato. * Maine Lobster Roll: Lobster with tarragon aioli, mixed greens, and tomato on a brioche roll, served with a side salad. Food and Overall Experience The Chef's Ceviche was fresh but unremarkable, and the portion felt small. The burger, however, was excellent--cooked perfectly to medium-rare, with the pineapple adding a flavorful twist that elevated the dish. The coleslaw and lobster roll were both good, though neither stood out. The side salad was fresh and satisfying. Overall, the burger was the clear highlight of the meal. Rating: 3 out of 5 stars Gulf Coast Terry

You can find something on this menu that you're going to love. Bread is fresh and so are the deli meats and all the toppings from green pepper to banana peppers to lettuce, tomato and spicy oil and vinegar dressing you'll put together a perfect sandwich. We had two different ones the Italian with the hot capicola, which was perfectly spicy and loaded with meats. The second sandwich was a ham, cheese and salami with lettuce, banana peppers, tomato, onion, all the fixings and that hit the spot too. We had two 8 inch subs and nothing was left. We also had chips on the side And that added to making the sandwich a perfect lunch combo. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because parking is extremely limited and in the back. If you don't know this deli, you wouldn't know where parking is but if you drive around the back, you'll see a very small parking lot and an entry into the deli. Staff is friendly and super helpful if you're not sure what to get. The place was crowded at lunchtime on a weekday with plenty of regulars, they know a good thing when they taste it. I'm looking forward to coming back into town to try something different since the menu was so vast it just means I have to come back again and again.
