    Perfect breakfast anytime of the day 7 days a week, with nice view of the harbor...
    Ken L.

    Ocean Shores best kept secret, private community club house with a club cafe open to the public, fantastic breakfast & coffee even tasted great, owner/cook brings back the lost art of a local small town cafe breakfast, very friendly & classic breakfast perfect with eggs over easy with bacon, HASHBROWNS!!! (yes, not those phony country fried potatoes), and sourdough toast. A little bit expensive (as is most places anymore post Covid) & poor cook doing everything by himself but a real breakfast with generous portions & friendly service with a pleasant view of the harbor. Only complaint is I love a good ham & cheese omelette with those hash browns & sourdough toast...

    Updated Review. The Ocean Shores Community Club Cafe has the best view of any restaurant/cafe in Ocean Shores. The menu is decent, and prices are competitive. The staff are very friendly and eager to provide a good dining experience. The owner seems very amenable to suggestions and critique. Current Hours or Operation are: Thursday, Friday & Monday 7am - 2 pm Saturday & Sunday 8am - 2pm Owner anticipates increasing hours in near future Note of interest: The community club offers a slow jam session on Wednesday evenings from 6pm till 7:30pm in the cafe. Cafe owner anticipates providing something like a Taco Wednesday during the slow jam session. This could become a very fun entertainment and light evening meal / snack venue.

    Great food. Great chef. Great view. Be patient for your food, it's a one-man-show, but it's worth the wait.

    Took my BFF out for her birthday to Lemon Hill Restaurant next door to my apt. We didn't have…read morereservations, but just walked in; and the Chef said yes to our unplanned late last table arrival. It was either a two-course or a three-course meal $29 +$47 respectively. We did 3 each starting with homemade pimento cheese with celery sticks, sweet peppers sliced, and crustini. I'm not a big fan of the jarred commercial pimento cheese. This was extremely good. Tasting the peppers inside the cheese ball that you choose how and where to spread it. B+ maybe even A- for the flavor of the cheese and presentation. 2nd Course of shrimp etouffee. It was okay but too thin of a sauce due to a not dark enough roux. Flavors are spot on, shrimp are tender and delicious. A- for the effort to take on roux dishes. 3rd Course was a delicate hazelnut chocolate mousse in a champagne fluted crystal glass. Topped with a light whipped cream to find the dessert level. It had multiple layers of flavor in different areas of the mouth and nasopharynx. A+ for presentation and depth of flavor in a chocolate pudding! Cup of coffee to end the meal, so really 4 courses. The bookstore surrounds the entire restaurant. Very unique experience. Get reservations or try your luck with the Chef near 6:15 pm for a late exception allowed to slip in. Monthly menu then changed up, only work dinner shift on Fridays. Rest is lunch for Courthouse folk. Closed Sundays and Mondays. Overall Score A PS. There were other choices but I didn't try them so, another review for the future... Usually I photograph the food and menu, glucose meter said low so we ate in haste to also not keep entire restaurant open for just us, which we did anyways. And, chef and waitress were great at conversing while closing. PPS. I lived in NOLA next-door to Tulane University and two houses from St Charles Streetcar for 3 years, and have been chef of restaurants in past. Roux Cajun style is an artwork I love and understand

    Lovely cafe, right down to the book shaped plates. Any meal eaten surrounded by books is…read moreautomatically better. The people are pleasant and cheerful. The turkey and spinach crepinettes were flavorful and the housemade cranberry mustard was the perfect accompaniment. The French potato salad and haricot vert were nice sides. I had the chicken sandwich with lemon pepper mayo and cauliflower soup. The mayo really brightened the sandwich. There was a generous amount of roast chicken and the bread was chewy and tasty. And then there's the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding. Sigh
