Where do I start....This restaurant is welcoming. The ambience is beautiful , the bathrooms are clean and the photo grass wall is cute. There is also a stage that is decorated according to whatever holiday it is. We were allowed to take pictures there which added to the awesome experience and atmosphere. Our server was Deanna and she was awesome and knowledgeable about the menu. She was also a little personal ( I like that about people). You got the feeling she didn't mind coming to work ( I like that too). Her service was on point and she didn't miss a beat. We will definitely be asking for her again. Now on to the food..... EVERYTHING WAS GOOD!!!! I had avocado toast (wait before you get in ya feelings about me having avocado toast) this was the first time I saw options of avocado toast. I chose the Mediterranean avocado toast and it did not miss. I enjoyed them accompanied with grits. Someone's grandmama was back there making dem grits. The grits were so good. We ordered two portions of the shrimp and grits to take home and yes, they heated up perfectly well. That's when you know ya grits are good...when you can successfully reheat them. My husband had a veggie omelette which he says was bangin. He had the potatoes on the side and there were good too. My little one had a pancake with sausage links and she said it's now her new favorite. I have photos for you.... I hope you enjoy your experience as much as I did. Ohhhh yeah also have a holiday coffee with almond milk.... That was good too! Not just good but perfect.
This was our second visit - it was much less busy than our first time. We didn't wait at all, which was great! Except for a party of 5 + a toddler we were sat at the tiniest table ever. Our waitress was kind and attentive! We all had drinks they came out fast and were delicious. Presentation is always on point. & the food never disappoints. The chicken sandwich was a table favorite along with the crab Benedict. We love coming here for special occasions since it's a far drive.
Redhead Bay Cafe has given me the best brunch I've had in a long time. When I say I am IMPRESSED, this is an understatement. We called ahead of time for an 11am reservation and they accepted but forgot to take down our name so when we showed up we had to wait again for 15 minutes but it wasn't a long wait at all. There are 2 buildings and when we walked in, it looked like a cute little event area with a holiday-decorated stage up front, I wouldn't be surprised if they have live music and events in the area! Super clean and homey and festive :) The food was magnificent. I started off with the campfire latte with almond milk and the latte was pretty decently sized and tasted like a marshmallow but the coffee content was generous. It was a little dessert in a cup. The she crab soup was to die for, I wished I gotten the bowl instead of just the cup. Perfectly creamy, amazingly seasoned, generous amount of lump crab; chef's kiss for sure. The smoked salmon Benedict was delicious as well. I got a side of waffle fries and they were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Perfectly crispy and not too salty. The Benedict was super fluffy and the hollandaise topped with dill was harmonious with the biscuit, salmon and eggs.their portions were bigger than I thought and I couldn't finish my food but man, I would love to come back and try the rest of their menu. This place was awesome and i honestly cant wait to plan my next visit here!
It's a good place for brunch. I went on Sunday just before noon and could sit at the bar without waiting. It is a family restaurant. I don't know if you can have dogs. It looked like there was outdoor seating, but no one was outside. I ordered the eggs Benedict side of grits and a short stack of bacon maple pancakes. The eggs were okay; nothing special. The pancakes stole the show; bacon and maple syrup are a hit. They have a large selection that you can add to the pancakes. The servers were very nice and did a great job. My only complaint is the valet parking. The parking lot had plenty of parking, and they parked my jeep next to the door. Why should I tip you if I am forced to have you park my car?
Went here for breakfast after Thanksgiving with some friends and family. Had a very filling breakfast and the young ladies enjoyed their fancy kids drinks.
