We just had some breakfast sandwiches one morning, but they were very tasty and our server was pleasant and efficient. We will go back for breakfast and try another meal on our next trip.

We stopped in here for lunch. There is indoor seating only. The service and food was very good. We would eat here again. It is small so there is limited seating and nice for lunch spot.

Small, cozy place with excellent staff, food, and atmosphere. Short wait of 20 minutes very reasonable.

The food here is excellent! Prices were reasonable, and had we known how good it was we would have planned to go here twice during our stay! We ordered the mac and cheese balls as an appetizer - they were delicious. I had the falafel pita, my husband had the whitefish rueben, and our friends got the lobster BLT and... More

Told at the door we would have to leave stroller outside. The place was nearly empty so it seems like they could have let us bring it in. Perhaps the staff was having more fun hanging out chatting than they would have serving customers.

My fiance and I went to The Seabiscuit Cafe for dinner when we were visiting The Island recently. We chose the restaurant because my fiance had been there before and had a good experience with ordering a burger. And we had heard great things about it from other people. The atmosphere was cozy and cute, and the service was good.... More

We ate here several times during our 7 days on the island but it has a rather small dining area and can lack seating on some days.

Loved the chicken salad and the Guinness cheese dip. We stopped in and were pleasantly surprised by the menu which had lots of different choices like chicken salad with dried cherries, falafel, and other yummy stuff.

A great lunch here. The best food we had on the island. Burger and sweet potato fries. Yum. Husband loved his fish tacos. Granddaughter's foot long was ginormous as well as delicious. Our grandson had the gyro that he felt was bland and didn't quite fill him up. Portions were a bit small (except for the foot long) but the... More
