I eat out A LOT and this place did not live up to my expectations to what I would normally expect at a restaurant like this for BREAKFAST. The place has tables to close to each other. The service was dreadful and the fact that we had to wait so long to get drinks first then to take our order... More

Due to new ownership the Sand Castle will now be a disappointment to those use to this one time gem of a restaurant. Sorry owners of the motel you need to get the original restaurant owners back ti The Sand Casle. More

Everyone knows not to stay at the Sand Castle motel, but the restaurant had always been pretty good. Not this year. I heard the family that had that restaurant for the past 40 something years was not offered a renewal on their lease. The breakfast was awful! Awful is being polite. The eggs were raw, the bacon fried to a... More

My comment is not on the food here because I didn't even bother to try it. I have always looked forward to having breakfast at the Sand Castle where I would get a good breakfast and buy a little sand castle as a souvenir. There was always a crowd every year and I loved looking in the gift shop while... More

Been having breakfast here for years. Great, friendly service. The Greek omelette is my favorite - fresh ingredients and delicious. I believe they take reservations -- a good bonus for large families. More

Had breakfast at this restuarant after an awful experience at the motel (see post regarding no bed linens, poor customer service on the hotel review). The breakfast was excellent and our server could not have been nicer! AJ was attentive, pleasant and went out of this way to be accomodating! If I am back in the area, I would definitely... More

Make sure you stop here for breakfast. Sadly the original family who ran this restaurant no longer owns it. They were the main reason we went back every year. The new owners were very nice. The food is all great and the coffee is out of this world - I wish they would reveal their secret to making it. More
