    Date of Visit: Nov. 15, 2025…read more The wife and I were on another road trip from the other side of the Skyway. We had stopped at another place for a beverage but were not hungry at the time. We did a little bit of shopping and worked up an appetite and wanted to stop by this burger joint I had visited a few months back but the lot was full and no place to park, we kept going down the boulevard. We weren't sure if we wanted to give this another try but we did, mainly because they had spots open in their parking lot. We made our way across the street and entered the cafe. Lucky there were two openings at the bar. We sit at the bar usually cause the service is better. And this where it was dejavu all over again. We had been here several before and really had good service. Took a while the get the bar tenders attention, again. We finally did and ordered a couple beers, then he disappeared when we were ready to order and the other people behind the bar ignored us till we spoke up, "We're ready to order" and the one girl looked at us like deer in the headlights. She had to go and get her gadget to place the order. The menu had several good choices but I wasn't taking any chances, I ordered the double smash-burger with fries and the wife the classic club with slaw. After ordering I could see they were still working on the place after last years storms, the kitchen was set-up in front out of a big trailer and for as many people this place can seat at least 200, there were only two unisex bathrooms, wow. The food arrived and it looked pretty good. I liked the burger, not the best I had but fair. The fries were average as well. My wife's club was huge, she could only eat half of it and she said it was good as well. The best part was the slaw, she had me taste it and it was very good. Once again, when we were ready for our check the bartender was more interested in the college football game on the TV, that took a moment to get his attention. If you can look past the below average service and just above average food, the ambiance is the best part of this place. Right on the shores of the Gulf of MEXICO...Peace.

    Only for the view! The breakfast is not prepared correctly, asked for crispy bacon not crispy,…read moregrits not done and cold, pancakes tough and tasteless. Service excellent View is beautiful. Expensive for mediocre food.
