#fatjared say...Please read why this is 4 stars before writing it off as not that great. I promise, this is one of the most fun, cutest, best diners I have ever been to. I want so badly to give 5 stars. This is a 4.99999 str rating, but unfortunately not perfect, so I can't give 5 stars. I'm sorry!
I have a firm rule that I stick to. If I have any complaints, whether small or big, I can't give 5 stars. So I will start with my VERY SMALL complaint. It's unfortunate, but when I see skillet on the menu, I expect it to come out on a skillet. If it's not going to just call it a breakfast plate. I love eating off a cast iron skillet. it has some nostalgia to it, and I was disappointed I didn't get that. I know it's lame and picky, but it is a complaint.
NOW...for the AWESOMENESS of this place. It is exactly what it says it is. It is advertised and known as a small local diner, that has great food, very reasonable, honestly cheap prices, and a staff who cares about you. They are friendly, and will do what they can to truly serve you and go above the call. Locally owned for 10 years, and the daughter of the owners was our waitress. Chloe you were awesome!!!
We started with coffee, which for a diner, had actually a fairly good flavor. I am a coffee snob, and knew it wouldn't be amazing, but it was better than average. There are free refills there, and they do a good job of keeping you loaded.
My fiance ordered the benedict, and HOLY SMOKES, the hollandaise was creamy. The yolk was super runny, as it should be, but the kicker was the bread. They home make their own rye bread, and I HIGHLY suggest changing from an english muffin to that bread. It has a distinct flavor at the end that makes it amazing.
The veggies in my "skillet" were SUPER fresh. Spinach was not too cooked, tomatoes were juicy, eggs were perfect, hash browns with a little crunch, and the Mahi, WOAH!! Super moist, not over seasoned, and a great addition to the meal. A full bite, with a little hot sauce was immaculate!
Overall, you really can't get much better than this. If you want a great spot, that is literally 200 yds from the beach, open early so you can see the sunrise, this is the best spot you'll find. Well done Beachside, I am so sorry I can't give 5 stars! I had a phenomenal time!
