      My friend and I love Simple Eats! The food was so delicious and the service was attentive and accommodating. Our server, Nicole , made it an exceptional experience!
      I had the avocado toast with a side of grits and my friend had the crab benedict. We both ordered a mimosa flight which was a fabulous and tasty pairing with our brunch.
      The walls display the work of local artists that can be purchased. My friend found a lovely wall hanging that she just had to have! She went home with her belly happy and with a new piece of art.

      Been here three times already and quickly understood why this place is a local favorite! I am a huge fan of the Mongolian Stir Fried Noodles and B1 & B2 noodle soups. Every friend and family member I've introduced to this place has loved it too. Very cool to watch the kitchen staff handle the noodle dough.

      Today's service I am deducting one star
      Service the first two times was perfect, but today something that occurred between us and our server surprised me and my bf's family.

      There was a small miscommunication between ordering the A13 and A14 apps- we wanted the cucumber salad but our server thought we wanted the cold sliced beef. Our server took back the cold sliced beef and as she was bringing it back, we over heard her say "They definitely ordered the A14, not A13" to another server, who then said "Yea I was there, I totally heard that too." This was said loud enough for our table, seated in the far back corner of the restaurant, to over hear and probably every customer dining in as well. That particular server never came back to serve us and instead we had 2 other servers going back and forth between our table and the kitchen, who were both great.

      This experience was incredibly unfortunate, as I work in the food industry and have handled similar situations like this. I was unimpressed by how those two servers were speaking about our party and it affected our ability to enjoy our meal without feeling like we were being watched by the staff. No one in our party was rude to our server , but speaking loudly about your customers basically in front of them is impolite and rude.

      You can not go wrong here. One of our favorite local spots! The coastal-beach y decor is welcoming and the service is like have a meal at your friends house. They are all so very nice. Everything on the menu is delicious just hard to decide so you will just have to return. One time, I thought there was an error on my bill and I send a message after hours on their Facebook page. To my surprise, the owner messaged me back right away and cleared up my misunderstanding! She was so nice and I was impressed with her quick response and customer service.

      Mimosa flight.... Yes, please!

      I was here on a Sunday morning at 9:30. We did make reservations because I called to see about bringing a dog. They do have an outdoor patio that is dog friendly. Whoever answered the phone answered my questions, took my reservation and was very friendly. I showed up first and sat outside. They have a nice sun shade to cover the area which helped a lot! The flies were terrible but you eat outside then you expect flies. I wish they had those fly fans that I see at a lot of restaurants. They seem to work and it's just nice to know that they are doing something about the flies. There is a parking lot but it fills up quickly and can be rather tight because there are no lines and some people don't park that well. We had great service by Ava and she was very attentive. We all got the mimosa flight which was awesome!! They were all different - I love that! Plenty of champagne and they were so good. I ordered the Turkey and Brie and Apple Press. It was delicious but maybe a bit dry. Everyone loved their meals. I wish I had more to say about the interior but because I was with a dog I just stayed outside. But I would definitely go back - not a regular brunch spot because it is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for and it was very good.

      I had a pretty decent time at Simple Eats today. The people working here were really nice to talk to and made sure I had enough water during my time there. I want to say the ambiance seemed very dark and gloomy. I personally feel like it would have been a much more enjoyable experience if there was more lighting.

      For the food, It felt like it took forever for my food to come. They just opened up, and there were not that many people. I should have got it a little sooner.

      Overall, the food was pretty good, and the menu there makes me want to come back another time. I got a turkey sandwich, and it was alright. They did have some really good home fries that came it.

      If the ambiance of a restaurant does not matter to you, I would recommend this place if you want to try somewhere new to eat.

      Hey Folks this place is a hidden gem... food was good, drinks were sting and service was great- once it got started - we had a party of 20 so they may have been waiting for more of us to get there... but my table was full and we were hungry... but once they got started they were rolling... menu was simple as name suggest - I'm allergic to shell fish so the choices for me were minimal- but apparently the crab cake was good. The place was eclectic- the painted chairs could use a good scrub but other than that nice vibe good ambiance. Photos on the walls may have been for sell but no one mentioned it. Oh parking was terrible go early you will have to wait if you are like me and have bad knees... all in all I would go back for the drinks and atmosphere

      Went for Sunday Blunch, everything was great. We had the Shrimp & Grits, Breakfast Burrito, Crab Bennie and French toast.

      Additionally had a flight of mimosas and a Crabby Bloody Mary. Crabby Bloody Mary has some Old Bay on the rim and crab meat in the drink.

      Would recommend all.

      Recommend a reservation during prime times.

      Atmosphere is very casual.

      Wouldn't recommend the biscuits, a little dense.

      Service is always so wonderful - very accommodating and atmosphere is overall welcoming. You get the "farm to table" feel from the staff to the local art... love!
