As a gluten free girl, I felt SO taken care of! The chef came to the table to discuss food prep and what was safe to eat, even grilled such yummy GF bread separate from everything so I could eat it! Very knowledgeable about it gluten free!

Super cute inside, the breakfast is fantastic and for a good price! Staff/owner are all very nice and accommodating. Anytime I get my breakfast from here it is made to perfection, I can’t wait to try more things from their menu

Just ordered from here looking for breakfast on doordash and it was absolutely delicious! The cornbeef hash was the best I've ever had from a diner, as well as the home fries. This will be my new go to breakfast spot.

Not just the food, but the atmosphere and service is fantastic. A place I recommend anytime someone is looking for a breakfast spot. I believe Jessica is the owner/manager of the place and shes always listening and greets you with a smile. All the staff are fantastic. Food is top notch. One of the best breakfast spots in Schdy.

Berries and mascarpone pancakes 🤩 My favorite breakfast spot!!! The owner, family, and staff are the very best!!!! They’ve been treating me so well for years. I love coming early to enjoy a nice sunrise breakfast on the patio. Since it’s my birthday month, I dropped the car off for an oil change the other day and walked over for an amazing breakfast with warm, family-friendly service! 🌞☕️

Not sure how I just found out about this place after all these years.Their lump crab benny is one of the best I ever had, something I usually won’t get unless I’m visiting somewhere near the coast. Their crab meat tasted so fresh with just the right amount not overly rich hollandaise sauce. Only thing I’m not a fan of is no refill on iced coffee which is pretty much just ice with the hot coffee they refill for everyone but overall not a deal breaker.

My girls and I love this place. Their eggs benedict is delicious! My little girls enjoy the chocolate chip pancakes. Servers are very attentive. We are from Florida but come up every summer. Will be back!

The food is wonderful, the staff is friendly and familiar, the chef can season a breakfast steak better than any $100 sit down dinner Ive ever paid for. We love it here

Great breakfast. The eggs Benedict with crab was phenomenal. Eggs, bacon and home fries were delicious. Good value for the portions and quality of food. Service is excellent and atmosphere is very nice with indoor and outdoor options.

One of the best restaurants ever!! The food is truly amazing - everything here is delicious! The service is so warm and friendly. Been for both breakfast and lunch, and the hardest part is deciding what to order. The pancakes, home fries, gyro and sweet potato fries are must-haves.

Ive gone a couple times now and they have pretty good food. The staff are all really friendly and nice and will try to chat with you. Their sausages are really good as well as the french toast. Cute little brunch place on the weekends

My meal was over cooked. (Gyro) I found it odd that lettuce was a $1.00 upcharge and fries were also a upcharge at $4.95. Chef/Owner came to talk to me regarding my very crispy meat. I explained and she took half off the bill. Which I found to be fair as I did eat half. Probably won't go back.

Food was very good. Fresh Ingredients… our waiter was very nice… the only complaint is that it got very noisy at times. Can’t wait for the patio to open

Sunday breakfast. Busy little place. Service was quick. Food average. I wanted an omelette but even though it’s on the menu what they serve is NOT an omelette. To all the restaurants that serve omelettes with ingredients mixed in the egg, THAT is NOT an omelette. It’s scrambled eggs, frittata or what ever else u want to call it but it is not an omelette. Being that I did not get 1. I chose the 2 egg breakfast sandwich with ham/cheese and wanted a side of home fries. The waitress turned that into their special which is same thing but $1 more. Strange. Anyway it was dry as hell. My mistake for not asking eggs over easy. Friends had French toast and Irish eggs Benedict. U have the option of homemade hash or regular. What? I would go again just disappointed about the omelette.

Check your bank statements after going here they have a tendency of choosing their own tips with your credit card. I remember writing six dollars on the tip check and when I go and see my bank statement I see that the total equaled out to a 10 dollar tip. The total of my order was less than 20 dollars, I went there alone. 4 dollars seems inconsequential but the fact that someone stole my money like that made feel awful. I actually went back there to talk to someone but felt like if they did that they would lie about it again anyways. This happened to me several months ago but I got to thinking if this happened to me it could easily happen to many people and that’s not fair even if it is 4 dollars. Btw they make the best pancakes and just about everything else they make is wonderfully cooked.

Waited for almost 45 minutes for food and when we asked we are told "There's only one cook". Horrible service, except for the nice young gentleman. Food wasn't flavored, nothing special and very expensive.

Not sure what to say about a Restaurant,That,with sweat dripping down my face,while delivering,Their food for Doordash. ..My Question.."Its really hot out there,you think I can have a cup of water to go?' Union Cafe's answer.. "No,we can't do that"... Thanks for helping a guy out... Stewart's did what you refused to do....
