    Disappointed and Discriminated - Denied Entry Due to My Service Animal I'm deeply disappointed with my recent experience at Varsity Inn. I arrived with my fully trained and clearly identified service animal, who assists me with a medical condition. Despite calmly explaining the legal rights surrounding service animals, the staff/owner refused us entry, claiming "no pets allowed." This is not only incorrect--it's a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Businesses are legally required to allow service animals that are trained to perform tasks related to a person's disability. The refusal showed a clear lack of training and understanding of the law, as well as a lack of basic compassion and respect. What makes this even more frustrating is that the restaurant has a sign right on the door that says "Service Animals Only". Clearly, they understand the law well enough to post it, but not enough to actually follow it. The hypocrisy and lack of proper staff training are extremely concerning. I had been looking forward to dining here (again as we were allowed to dine with my service dog here the year before) but instead left feeling humiliated and frustrated. I hope the owner takes this seriously and educates their staff so no one else has to go through this experience. Until then, I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone--especially those in the disability community. We left and walked a few blocks over to "Hooked on Breakfast" where we were more than welcome and enjoyed an amazing breakfast.

    Tex Max Chicken Quesadilla

    Spent a nice October day on the OC boardwalk and decided to grab a meal somewhere new. Name like Varsity Inn makes it tempting to try it out. Wait staff was very nice and seated us right away. Greeted with waters and a very nice run down of the menu & specials. Inside there are plenty of seating available to make wait not long. You can people watch from the bar top seating facing the street. Plenty of different options to choose from and from the look of the dishes that were coming out of the kitchen, they all looked delicious. The breakfast options seemed to be the highlight. The quesadilla was packed with great flavor chicken, tomatoes & cheese. Crisp on the outside with sour cream dippings on the side. The tomato soup was excellent and some of the best soups I've tasted. On top is a thick layer of cheese and inside is garlic bread chunks inside the thick cream tomato soup. Grilled cheese was pretty basic white American cheese. Great combo and filling.

    Tomato soup to go with a great bag

    Best tomato soup and believe it or not I don't even like tomato's. The five star French bread French toast is another one of my favorites.

    Aunt Helen 's Favorite & Breakfast Special #1
    Cj D.

    Went with my dad for breakfast at 8, we really enjoyed sitting outside at the big garage windows and barstools. Food came quickly and really hit the spot. My dad had Aunt Helen's Favorite omelet (has kielbasa in it!) and I had Breakfast Special #1. Pancakes were great and my dad said the breakfast potatoes were nice and crispy. Our server was quick and kind! Place was not too busy. Great breakfast spot!

    New owners running this establishment Ordered soup....never got it. When told server (owners son) we didn't get soup the comment was ...don't know what's going on in the kitchen... no apology just walked away. Asked to speak to manager (who is the owner) And as an apology gave us a soup to go. An hour later went to have the soup which he gave me with shredded cheese to put on top. There was a rancid smell and then looked at soup with cheese on top and it was all moldy Called the restaurant and owner was rude and unapologetic

We arrived just after opening and found seating very easily. Between 9 and 10:30 the inside started really filling up with folks, so if you're an early riser, stop in early. The staff was so friendly. We were seated in the back on the first floor at what appeared to be an old sewing machine table. The inside was clean and had a country vibe. Menu wise they have a ton of coffee options. Flavored lattes out the yin-yang including their Boardwalk latte series that has shore inspired flavors. I had the Cuban - Cuban roast, muddled sugar and steamed milk. It was flipping delicious!!! The breakfast menu had choices for all palates. My wife had an omelet, my mother a stack of pancakes with strawberries and our friends raved about the pumpkin patch French toast and veggie omelet. I had two over-easy eggs with rye toasted and pork roll. I know my choice was a safe pick, but I was happy with the comfort of the basics! Everyone devoured their food and left happy and full. The prices weren't terrible and the portions were large. I can't say a bad thing about our visit to Jon & Patty's. Thanks guys!!

My sister isn't a breakfast person and she liked her grilled chicken wrap. And we all shared the French toast which was good as well. As a girl from Pittsburgh, I also loved that they had Heinz ketchup. The staff was great. It was busy the whole time we were there. We will definitely be going back.

If you weren't staying…read morein the Pavilion Hotel (or maybe the Forum across the street) you could easily miss it, and that would be a shame. It's literally part of the Pavilion at 8th and Atlantic, beach block. Hard to imagine a better location for foot traffic. There's a covered patio with AstroTurf that was perfect on the sunny, breezy Friday morning. Brenda's is billed as authentic Mexican cuisine and a neon sign out front reinforces "Breakfast." Therefore we settled on huevos rancheros and the breakfast tacos. Wow! again. Everything is cooked to order and was crazy fresh. I mean garden fresh. The onions were sweet and crunchy. The tomatoes were firm and juicy. The black beans were delicious. For both dishes the street taco sized tortillas were freshly grilled, crispy edges and delicate centers that didn't break despite being generously filled. We also got a side order of home fries that were kind of magical. No ads-ins, onions or pepper. No additional salt to be detected. Just small potatoes cut in halves and wedges, subtle, even seasoning throughout. Simple. Absolutely delicious. Our only regret was finding Brenda's on the last morning of our stay but we come down a couple times a summer and will absolutely put this on top rotation! Loved everything about our visit. Kudos to Brenda and her family.
