    Great little spot for lunch! Had an amazing Reuben and onion rings. And they have a nice patio where you can look over the water!

    Yes it is in the back of a convenience store! The food is great. I had the Ruben sandwich. If you sit on the back deck, ask for the water gun.

    Every forkful of the peanut butter pancakes felt like a victory over blandness. Gotham never serves anything this joyful before noon. But the deck had other plans. The birds here possess the moral restraint of jewel thieves and the working speed of pickpockets. One swooped in, stole a sugar packet, ducked under a table, opened it with unsettling expertise, and ate it like this was standard operating procedure. As more feathered criminals circled, our waitress clocked the situation with veteran eyes. She returned not with fear but with a water blaster labeled "The Terminator". According to her, the birds hate water and it is harmless. The moment she stepped onto the deck holding it they vanished into the sky with the urgency of criminals hearing distant sirens. Justice tastes sweeter when served with pancakes. The deck outside shimmered in the sun and even with the avian crime wave subdued the horizon kept insisting everything was fine. Hard to argue with that kind of optimism. Detective Tips: • Order the peanut butter pancakes; they are decadent without apology. • Secure your sugar packets unless you want to negotiate with winged extortionists. • Sit on the deck if you like your breakfast with a side of ocean sparkle. • Ask about the terminator if the birds get bold; deterrence is a team sport. BEWARE OF... • Underestimating the birds; they run this turf with frightening confidence. • Letting the view distract you long enough to lose a pancake. • Forgetting to explore the grocery side; clues hide between the chips.
