Over Easy Cafe is one of the few breakfast spots on the island and our personal favorite. They had a really rough couple of years because of hurricanes and are finally in a new location which is higher ground and bigger and beautiful. I cannot say how incredibly happy for them we are! Welcome to your new home and so glad to see you back!! Their new location is in the Village Shops, we were not too sure where but it is sort of in the middle, with shops around them. They have some tables outside (way to hot in the summer despite their fans and giant umbrellas) and then tables inside. We had about a 15 minute wait for a table inside. We had 5 so their larger tables were fewer. We truly didn't mind waiting as there are so many shops in the same shopping village.
Over Easy is a great spot for breakfast, they also serve lunch but they are not open for dinner. We prefer breakfast here. You have to start with one of their giant cinnamon roles. This is so large, very delicious and something our family shares. We order only one since it is very large and their portions are large. They do have two different flavors, but we prefer the classic cinnamon rolls.
We all chose something different and we all really enjoyed our breakfast. My mom went with the Corned beef hash and eggs for $14. This was grilled corned beef hash with 2 eggs your style and choice of toast. It was so good! The hash was crispy and crunchy and really flavorful. I even enjoyed it. MY dad went with a classic breakfast, The Ho Hum for $12. This was 2 eggs your style, choice of bacon or sausage links or sausage patties or ham steak or Canadian bacon served with your choice of toast, and then choice of home fries, grits, tomatoes, or fresh fruit. Classic all American breakfast. He did the sausage patties and did not really like the flavor, but my husband ate them and said they were tasty to him. My husband went with his favorite dish, the Big Bertha's Breakfast for $16. This was grilled breakfast potatoes, mushrooms, onions bell peppers, tomatoes, sausage, bacon and ham with cheddar jack cheese, topped with 2 eggs your way and your choice of toast. He usually orders this and always enjoys it. It is a huge portion, served in a skillet. My sister wen with the classic eggs benedict for $13. It is toasted English muffin topped with grilled Canadian bacon, 2 poached eggs and benedict sauce. She usually loves it, but this time she did not fully enjoy the flavor of the benedict and the poached egg was hard, not runny like they usually are with a benedict. I did my favorite, cheese omelet with bacon added for $12 plus additional $2 for the bacon. It is a 3 Egg Omelets served with home fries, grits, tomatoes, or fresh fruit and choice of toast. I also added cheese to the grits to make them extra delicious. The portion was so large I could not finish the entire plate. I love their omelets, they are cheesy and so good. I do wish there was more bacon inside especially since it is an extra cost, but it is still really delicious.
Overall this is a great stop. We will continue to come and visit year after year. Their breakfast is so good and honestly one of the only ones on the island. The owners are so lovely and friendly. The servers are great as well, always checking on you. They also have a small gift shop in the same shopping area, that sells some of their merchandise. We had to get one of their classic cups. They serve all their beverages in a Tervis cup with roosters on it. We had to buy one! We actually got a couple so we each had them. They also sell their coffee cups which are very pretty.
I highly recommend this restaurant, great food, great service, amazing story. It just needs to be added to your list.
