We don't have Waffle House where we're from, so we try to make a point of visiting one when we can. We had very good service, great food, and a reasonable price.

Planned this as our last weekend there for a birthday celebration for a "rated " high for breakfast. Very disappointed~~had to send back my runny, undercooked eggs~~not a nice site~ and all of our hash brown, although made at the restaurant,had no flavor at all~~a few got the pancakes~~those were not good at all and served with frozen butter~~Was very disappointed over all , esp. since spending >$65.00 of a not good breakfast>

I ordered the Peruvian Stew and my wife got the Chicken Fried Rice off the lunch menu. My wife was turned off by the fact that the fresh sautéed fish was Swai a farmed variety that comes from China.Considering that there were pictures of fresh caught fish on the walls. I expected good fresh fish! Farm raised fish from China is not that!My stew came out and it was way to salty! I ate my stew but I did not like it! My wife hated her Chicken Fried Rice! She said it tasted like âgreasy nasty riceâ. The chicken she said was nasty and un edible!We will not be coming back! This restaurant will not be in business long! My wife ate none of her entree and left it on her plate! We went to McDonalds so she could eat lunch!
7. Water's Edge Cafe
A quaint little Breakfast and lunch cafe that sits on the edge of the water. Enjoy our homemade breakfast or fresh seafood while watching the cruise ships, dolphins, boat ramp and occasional rocket launch. Hand partied burgers, Cubans, Phillys, Benedicts,

We went to the restaurant middle if December. It was Phenomenal!! Shrimp & grits were great as well as the steak benedict. Really great food. We returned in January & took guests. Shrimp & grits was completely different & not very good. The steak benedict had onions & peppers that were not cooked & the egg came out hard boiled??? Wow, what a disappointment. It may have been busier the 2nd trip, new cook or who knows. Too bad, it is a cute little spot.

Had lunch and breakfast on two different occasions. This is a old fashioned typical diner from years ago. The food is fresh. The portions are generous and the service was fine. For lunch I had the tuna fish sandwich which was obviously just made on fresh bread. For breakfast I had the omelette which came with potatoes. Again fresh and a generous portion. I would definately come back here again.

Charlie's Cafe- Port Canaveral- 4-Stars"Hole in the wall" --Noun--North American: a small dingy place, especially a bar or restaurant.If you travel and are in an unfamiliar locale and want the best food around, you ask a local and nine times out of ten, they will send you to a hole in the wall a few streets over. These small, off the tourist path places, generally speaking, do offer the best of the local cuisine. Knowing this as I do, I wasn't all that disheartened when I pulled up to Charlie's Cafe in Port Canaveral. Tucked behind A1A off of mullet road is where you will find this treasured dive of a hash-house. From the brightly colored sign welcoming you over the door to the brightly lit interior, this place wasn't so much on the dingy side as it was on the small side. Very small.I was warmly greeted as I entered by Sandjay. She was getting my drink as she was seating me. No joke. Now that is what I call service! Talk about a professional at the top of their game, Sandjay was all over that like defense in the last Superbowl. While I did find the TV to be blaring at a deafening volume, this place certainly had a lot of charm. I asked Sandjay if I could get one order of the Meat Lovers Omelet and one Triple Decker Turkey Club Sandwich.As I was stuffing more cotton in my ears to try to stem the bleeding from my pierced eardrums, I took a gander about the place and notice one of the biggest dudes I have ever seen slingin' the slop in the kitchen. This turned out to be none other than the man, Charlie, himself. He's a large man and cooks the way he eats (at least I'm guessing) as the portions were extremely generous. Stuffed with the trifecta of pork breakfast meats (bacon, ham and sausage) the Meat Lover's omelet was bursting with flavor. There was actually more meat than there was egg. The home fries are hand cut, cooked perfectly and loaded with savory morning goodness. Sadly, the biscuits were not made on site, but rather the plug and play variety, but hey, the rest of the meal was spectacular and as Charlie is a rather robust man, I'll let this slide.The Triple Decker Turkey Club Sandwich was made with, wait for it, real honest to Thanksgiving turkey breast. You won't find any of that sliced, chopped, pressed and injected with flavoring crap coming out of Charlie's kitchen. No way. No how. Add to the real oven roasted turkey breast some smoked bacon and that's all she wrote for me! The only let down here, as with the previously mentioned biscuits, was the fact that Charlie still seems to be stuck in a kitchen from his youth and uses iceberg lettuce on the sandwiches. There are so many choices of lettuce with actual flavor these days (Bibb, Romaine, Red Leaf, Green Leaf, Boston, Butter...the list is practically endless), I don't understand why anyone that obviously cares about the food coming out of the place with his name on it would stick to iceberg. Regardless, this place was great from the amazing service to the tasty eats. When you least expect it and you let your guard down you stumble on a tiny hole in the wall like this that really delivers quality food.

All bacon, all the time. All day breakfast, plus sandwiches, salads, tacos, etc, featuring bacon in, on, or with everything, even dessert. I had pork belly tacos, in corn tortillas, with slaw. My partner also had fried green tomatoes and rice/beans, with bacon chocolate chip cookies. Maybe best of all was the blues music, nonstop. Kat, our server, was helpful and also nonstop. Bring your appetite and settle in for comfortable music, atmosphere, and comfort food!Thanks so much allanjf for taking the time to give us such a great review! We LOVE to hear feedback, especially with a great experience. Kat is THE BEST! Team BACON can't wait to see you again!
