Been here a few times, most recently with a friend who was a regular here for several years. He recommended the Eggs Benedict and hash browns with onions. Good call. I loved it.

I would not quite give this place a 5 for the bacon, eggs, home fries & coffee that I ate but close. I gave this a 5 for the customer service and the charm of the place. It is sort of hidden near the river where you get great by the heron and egrets as you walk to their door. No one feels unwelcome here. They have been in business for 34 years originally by Pat Snead (note the car decor). 2nd visit 1 year later. Still the same. Thank you, Sherry. (Ruth)

Pats is a local favorite of mine. Their crab Benedict always tastes so fresh with creamy hollandaise sauce. I also love how it’s on the river you have a very nice view of the water if you sit outside. I also appreciate how Motorcyle friendly they are for a little breakfast cafe.

We came during the week for lunch. This is a house converted to a restaurant serving the community for years. It’s also at the end of a cul-de-sac on the riverfront. I absolutely love this place. Nothing fancy, but who cares with the view of the water and the boats. Service and food really good. Can’t wait to come back.

The lady who I believe is the owner here was extremely nice to allow my little puppy dine-in during the hot day when the cafe was not crowded. Our meal was also delicious. We will definitely be back next time.

Cute little mom&pop diner. We come here often and the food is always great. It's like having a home cooked meal! We've had breakfast and lunch here and never leave disappointed. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely miss Reba she was the sweetest! You can walk out on the docks and check out the river as well. We've spotted dolphins here several times, loggerhead turtles and stingrays. If you're in the area, definitely stop by. Great food, good service, great views & Lots of racing photos and funny little signs

Found this hidden local gem on the river away from the touristy area just south of Daytona Beach. Cute and charming with friendly service and delicious food. The atmosphere makes you feel like you're dining with family. Definitely recommend.

This place was a smaller but intimate cafe. It reminded me of Cheers, a place where everyone felt welcome and it brought strangers together. I didn't know what to expect but I'm happy I visited this cafe for brunch with my family. I loved all of the old license plate sayings. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Just be aware of the limited parking but everything was really good.
